EVENT | ALL HALLOWED

Characters: Everyone!
Date: Oct 27th - Nov 2nd
Location: The City of Keeliai
Situation: The kedan have decided to participate in an Earth tradition: Hallowe'en! But there are other mysterious things afoot this holiday and when people start disappearing they'll have to find a way to reverse the effect... though all of their selves might not make it back.
Warnings/Rating: Please indicate content warnings in subject headers as applicable.

As the weather turns crisper, the nights and mornings carry with them a hint of chill promising cooler days to come, the month starts drawing to a close. This is a pleasant time, soon to be the season of harvest even on such a nomad as Tu Vishan. Yet the relations with the kedan have been good lately and even the Emperor's latest warning has not dampened the resilience of her people (both willing citizens and not) and so today marks a new tradition to Keeliai and it starts with receiving a simple, handwritten invitation.

"Come and celebrate the Keeliai of ages past..."



OOC: See the OOC plotting post for event details and this post for assorted subheaders outlining various parts of the plot. Feel free to start your own thread header if none suit, or make your own logs for various threadings... this is just for a central post for the event. Any questions can be directed HERE. Thank you!

NOTE: NPC tagging will be mostly in the Palace Rewards and Touch of Memory threads unless specifically requested elsewhere! Normal rules for players writing NPC interactions remains the same as always.

MID PLOT UPDATE!
Through the course of investigations will be discovered that every Foreigner who went trick or treating has acquired themselves at least one pot of what appears to be iridescent paint, sometimes more than one. Experimenting with these pots (because lbr who doesn't want a few randomly shimmery possessions) oddly enough lets ghosted characters interact with them completely solidly. Which, if you've inadvertently been ignoring someone, might mean you get your new shiny lamp thrown at your head.

Now if people get the smart idea to the paint the paint, that would let ghosted characters get hold of this stuff themselves...

TL;DR - Ghosted characters can paint themselves back into phase. Eating the stuff is also acceptable.

[Things are very difficult when one is physically incapable of expressing worry, because it has its roots in his fear.]

Ditch the sarcasm. I meant something's wrong with me, other than the intangible thing. This [he waves around them] is seriously probably magic.

[His face remembers what fear is like, but the rest of him doesn't, and so his expression ends up annoyed.]

There should be places where the dimensions aren't far apart. We might be able to appear to normal people there.

Yeah, I could tell there was something wrong with you. Maybe the whole part where you're not worried over any of this. I'm not an idiot, Kyle, and I know you better than that. Or did you miss the whole "one of my best friends" part?

[ Finally they are getting somewhere, though. She seems a fraction less agitated now that they have some direction to go in, and even manages to look away from him, making a visual sweep of the area. ]

Okay, so places where the dimensions are close. How are we going to be able to figure that out? It's not like I can just walk up to Walter and ask him to make us a machine.

[He hadn't, but he just glares at her in consternation and huffs.]

Could've just told me I was acting weird.

[He dismisses with a gesture, similar to chasing a bee away from him with his hand, and follows her line of sight around.]

It'll take days to search the city, but we can start with where we disappeared. I woke up like this, and so did Zatanna.
dunhaming: (it's a victory for feminism)

[personal profile] dunhaming 2013-10-29 10:35 am (UTC)(link)
I was doing that, Kyle.

[ Seriously, he's like a wall. Did he not hear the whole slew of "what's your damage" comments earlier? ]

So you were asleep, and I was wandering around. Awake and surrounded by people. Suddenly they simply started passing through me. So I'm going to say the likelihood of that being one of the places we can get through isn't high. Or if we did cross over somehow, it shifted. Closed up. Something to that effect.
imaginate: ([kyle] huh what)

[personal profile] imaginate 2013-10-29 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Eyeroll, but he can leave it alone, it's not as important as finding a way out.]

What if they close and open at certain points?

[:<]

That's even more depressing.
dunhaming: (i love that cat)

[ She is starting to fidget even more. Quickly approaching maximum fidgety-ness. Staying still for this long is hard when she's so agitated. ]

Okay, so we need to find a way to detect these things. Can't you just, use your ring for that? Can't it do everything?
imaginate: ([kyle] :/)

[personal profile] imaginate 2013-10-29 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's just one problem with that suggestion.]

I don't have my ring.
dunhaming: (did you go to church in texas?)

omfg go to bed

[personal profile] dunhaming 2013-10-29 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Pause. Well that sucks. ]

So... We don't use your ring.

[ PLAN RUINED. They're never going to figure this out. No, no they will. She will make it happen if it's the last thing she does. ]

Plan B, then. What's plan B.
imaginate: ([lantern] don't shoot)

8D

[Plan ruined indeed.]

Don't panic and find somebody else, hope they know what's happening?
dunhaming: (you merely adopted the alcohol)

[personal profile] dunhaming 2013-10-31 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ That plan will be called "this plan freaking sucks." Sadly it's really all they have. ]

Sure, lead the way.
