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.

[ It must be nice, he thinks, to be able to come back to life as easily as Loki talks about it. From what he remembers, and he tries not to think about it, of his own untimely demise only a few short weeks ago, he didn’t languish for long in the void. But after waking up in the palace, and then hearing the Emperor complain about individuals dying, he thinks his quick resurrection had more to do with that than anything else. ]

That’s like every day ending in a y for me.

[ He keeps his tone blithe, trying to play off how badly he’s been rattled by this. More for his own sake than Loki’s, though he would rather not look like a fragile idiot in front of him either. ]

Unless… [ He hasn’t been lurking around other people. It only took a few attempts to interact with the world and the people in it before he’d realized he couldn’t and had stopped trying. He doesn’t know how wide-spread this is. ] Do you think it’s her? The Emperor trying to squash dissent before it happens?

I fear there is the chance. She does have greatest control over manipulation of dimensional barriers in this realm, but I've no proof.

[ Catching sight of one of the fountains in the district, he changes course to go towards it. It seemed as good a destination as any, and they could always people watch from it. ]

It would be convenient, wouldn't it? Were I in her shoes, I'd consider it if I had reason to need any dissidents for a greater purpose.

It makes sense. I'd probably want to get rid of the sour apples too.

[ Not that he wants to be numbered among them, but Tony can see the logic in it. That's not what bothers him the most, though. What bothers him is a little more personal. ]

What bothers me is the fact that she heard us. I didn't think we were terribly loud about our displeasure with the situation. Which means that if this is her at work, then she's spying on us somehow.

[ And that doesn't fly with him. Not one bit. ]
