EVENT | ALL HALLOWED

[cherrywood]

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.

[Short of trying to kill her family or being harmful to her patients, there's not much Bianca isn't willing to be immediately forgiving of if someone's reasonably apologetic- and even Guy was left off on the first because he apologized for attacking Jaime and explained.


But if Loki didn't do something to have this man looking for him- and he's probably new, she hasn't seen him around before, then that brings to question why he's looking. His accent is similar to Loki's though, so maybe that's playing a part?]

Is there any reason you're looking for him? I'm Bianca, by the way.

[ofmyth]

He is my brother. He made mention that he wished to go trick and treating, however I can no longer sense him on the turtle, and I wish to be sure no harm has come to him.

[Oh-maybe introductions should happen too. Please excuse his distraction.] I am Thor, of Asgard. It is a pleasure, Lady Bianca.

[asoothingvoice]

[She immediately becomes more friendly appearing upon Thor saying he's Loki's brother. That's probably a first for him. Loki's missing? That's not good. ]

The same to you, Thor. I didn't think I'd have the chance to meet any of Loki's family. [She doesn't even know another version of Thor is here yet.]

I can help you look, and ask around. Have you run into his friend Gene yet? He might know where he is or if anything happened, since they seem to be close. [For a value of it, anyways. And if Gene doesn't know, Tony- at least the one she knows personally- might also some idea, even if the two don't like each other.]

[ofmyth]

I have not met this Gene yet. I am only recently arrived myself, so I have not yet had time to meet the acquaintances of my brother. [There will be time to talk more about Loki and his family later. For now, Thor is on a mission.]

I would be grateful for any assistance you can provide.

[asoothingvoice]

I'm sure you'll meet him sooner than later.

[The two of them have that sort of friendship only teenaged boys can truly manage, the kind that's spent annoying, aggravating and otherwise one-upping the other.]

I won't be able to spend all of my time looking for him since I work at the clinic and it's been short handed, but I'll also ask my son to help the next time I see him.

I'm sure he can't have disappeared completely.

[ofmyth]

Two pairs of searching eyes are better than one. [Thor wouldn't dream of imposing the search for Loki on anyone. Indeed, he doesn't expect that there will be many people on the turtle who will be all that keen to look for the young trickster.]

On a night like tonight he should be out enjoying himself, full of mischief. His absence is uncharacteristic. [Maybe Thor is worrying too much but... there's a feeling he can't shake that something is not right.]

[asoothingvoice]

[For better or worse, Bianca has a soft spot for Loki.]

I'll keep an eye out, and if I find him, I'll tell him you're looking for him. [She can understand the worrying, since for her part she's a parent.]

I'll also try to find you, too. [She's not going to expect Loki to actually find his brother if she tells him anything.]

[ofmyth]

You have but to call my name, and I will hear you.

[And it's only now that he realises how strange it is to find a stranger so willing to care for Loki.]

I thank you. For your assistance, and for your concern for my brother.
