EVENT | ALL HALLOWED REDUX - RITUALISM

Characters: Any affected by the ghosting and Losses, their sponsors and nosy observers anyone else who feels like tagging along.
Date: January 11-12
Location: Keeliai
Situation: A moonlight ritual designed to restore lost balance and return Losses and unwanted gains back to a neutral state.
Warnings/Rating: Please indicate content warnings in subject headers as applicable.

The kedan messengers who had originally brought the information to the various Foreigners who'd been affected will return to those same suites on Friday evening. They will let them know to arrive with their sponsors at a quiet field area just to the south of Palace grounds on Saturday at sundown so that the "cleansing" can begin. They don't need to bring anything to aid in the ritual itself though it's advised that they might consider having a spare change of clothes on hand.

The next evening is bright and clear as though the weather itself wishes success upon this strange endeavor. The Foreigners making their way to the field as instructed by their kedan guides will find a large area cleared of snow, right down to the grass and dozens of round pools constructed of what appear to be interlocking stone blocks, so carefully and precisely arranged that they're able to hold water without leaking despite not using any standard mortar or sealant. Each pool stands about three feet tall and is filled three quarters of the way full of water which shimmers in the moonlight, bearing a very similar sheen that people will remember from the iridescent paint.

Does this bode well? Only time will tell.



OOC Information

See the OOC plotting post for event details and this post for assorted subheaders outlining various parts of the plot. If your character wants to learn more about the rituals or ask Milyn questions, she will be tagging in the Case Studies thread. Otherwise, feel free to use general affected kedan and their respective sponsors under normal rules for players writing NPC interactions. 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!

Bean holds out his hand to be bandaged. As the other man wraps the cloth around his hand, the water glows again, so regardless of what they thought of his action, it worked to further the ritual.

"We might as well move on to the next step. One truth and one lie." The difficulty lies in whether they're allowed to say whether their statement is one or the other. Bean could go ahead and say "I was commander of Dragon Army in school" but neither of the men would know that it was a lie, so how would this blond man know to speak a truth?

He'd better say something that was obvious. "I am eight years old." Just in case, he gives the blond man a small nod indicating that yes, this is true.

Prussia feels kind of bad about a kid cutting himself like that, but really the blond guy reminds him of Germany with all the disapproving looks. He shakes his hand dry and pulls out his pen and notepad--crap, did it get damp somehow? stupid water--and writes a quick note on it.

No more sharp objects for you, kid!

The fact that it was his own fault for not keeping it away from him doesn't matter since obviously he thinks Barnaby should have stopped him. Then he makes a motion at him with his hand telling him to move it along with whatever lie the guy intends to tell.

At this point, Barnaby just wants to get the ritual over with, since his patience is starting to wear a little thin. Thankfully, the kid's true statement is straightforward enough, which makes Barnaby's job that much easier.

"My name isn't Barnaby," he simply says. At least Kotetsu is out of earshot, or else he would have (un)helpfully added that it's actually Bunny.

As the blond man-- Barnarby-- speaks, the water glows again. Good. What next? One possession and one debt. Bean has no idea how to interpret that, and he says as much.

"Should I... give you something? Owe you something? You already owe me ice cream. That's a debt." Whether that would count towards the ritual, he couldn't say.
