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.

['But you aren't', he wants to say. He doesn't, not after what the kid's told him. It's not the most horrible civilization he's encountered, but not one he can honestly say he'd like to be related to.

But denying who you are never ends well, and he doesn't know how to make the kid understand that.]

Do you know my clone? Superboy?

[shorttempered]

Sort of? I spoke with him once over the network, but I can't say our paths ever crossed again... I, uh, didn't know he was your clone, though.

[andaway]

He is my half-clone, actually. And the other half- I won't say names, because it's not my business to share, but I can tell you they belong to a horrible man. A man beyond redemption, a man I have been tempted to kill in the past. [If Mark was from his world, he wouldn't really need the name. As it is he's glad his world's Lex was never in the turtle.]

Yet it was only when he actually accepted both parts of who he was that he managed to grow up to his full potential. [The S stands for Soapbox]

[shorttempered]

[Mark was tempted to make a comment about how if it's "half" does it still count as "clone," but manages to keep his mouth shut, listening to the moral of the story instead.]

...Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah my dad, Allen, and I--and apparently my brother Oliver came too--were on our way to go help the coalition destroy Viltrum when I showed up here. I guess we're not big on accepting?
