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.

[A wry twist of her lips.]

Guess that would've been too easy. Hope it works out for you. [But the words ring hollow, given everything he's told her. Suddenly their own little war in Republic City seems oddly small, in comparison.]

It's never easy.

[His derision is palpable.]

[A faint snort. They're nearing the city center now: still no indication that anyone around them has taken notice of them, and no sign of anyone who's clearly a foreigner, either.]

On the bright side, if what everyone's saying is true and we don't manage to stop whatever unspeakable evil we've been brought here to fight, you won't have to worry about that breakthrough at all.

[An unmistakeable cold feeling runs up his spine, and his hands tingle. He takes a deep breath as he opens and closes them slowly.]

...I'd rather die in the line of duty. I'd want it to mean something.
lineality: (sympathetic)

[And isn't that chilling, hearing those words from a kid. Despite everything he's already told her, Lin looks troubled for a moment.]

I think we all do.

[Not that worrying about it will accomplish much. She turns to him then, gesturing to the plaza they're currently walking (floating?) through, her voice a little brisker.]

But neither of us are getting the chance to do anything of the sort unless we figure out what's going on here. What did you do this morning? Anything outside of your usual routine?
strategisch: (worst bandage job ever Reiner)

[He's able to change his mentality quickly.]

Mmn, no. Not that I can think of. This happened all of a sudden; I was just taking some Kirin out to pasture, and then...

[He holds an arm out, and a Kedan passes right through it.]

Yes, that.
lineality: (keep talking)

[personal profile] lineality 2013-11-27 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
You work with the kirin? [It's different enough from her line of work that it probably isn't related.] Interesting choice of occupation. Must be a nice change of pace.

What about yesterday? Go anywhere special?
strategisch: (good job lighting crew)

[personal profile] strategisch 2013-11-27 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Everyone in the legion has a horse that we must take care of, and the kirin are really no different. It's a simple job, and I like it.

Well... I went to the museum exhibit that those old Kedan were showing in their house. I thought it would be interesting.

[That gets a faint sound of interest from her--it might well be a coincidence, but it's something.]

So did I. Thought maybe I'd get some answers out of them, but it was closer to a collection of themed knickknacks.
strategisch: (how is this even helping a concussion)

[personal profile] strategisch 2013-11-30 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I was hoping the same...

It's a tenuous connection at best.
