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!

"Show and tell?" She thought on that for a moment. "I suppose if you each shared one that you've experienced, it'll cause the emotions. Cover all bases, maybe?"
Everyone at Providence called her a bleeding heart, anyway, so it wasn't like she didn't understand empathy.
no subject
Like the previous set, the thief now had to find something that overlapped with his host in order to maintain his cover and still make the magic water work. At this point, he was belatedly reconsidering this offer to help, as it was becoming an annoyance. Next time, he vowed, he'd get a little more information about what would be involved.
"Do we have to give one of each?" he asked instead, stalling for time.
no subject
Balthazar was still REALLY not appreciating the whole sharing thing and he was getting the distinct impression that the two of them were becoming increasingly more restless over it. Bloody hell if this task could not be made more difficult! He was not sure what was going to end up working for any of this. He just kind of threw that suggestion on the table. It couldn't hurt to try, but sharing information that was unnecessary was...this was getting repetitive.
Okay okay...think! A joy...
"A joy first and a sorrow second...well...I always found a great deal of joy over having free will. Where I come from, that sort of thing is...looking down upon. The ability to go anywhere and explore for myself has, well, I'm sure it's something you all can agree on in being free from the burdens of home."
A pause and he shrugged.
"That would also be a sorrow is being separated in my opinion. Never getting to finish what I started...."
A bit generalized, but maybe it would suffice.
no subject
It took a moment after the water glowed for her to come back into the real world again. Right, he gave both a joy and a sorrow, so- Rebecca looked to her hands and the ends of her hair, still in the same state as before.
"I think we... still need another sorrow." She didn't like that either. Rebecca frowned again to him, sympathetically, but there would be time to talk more later if he would like when he took his weapon back. For now, she glanced to Bakura. "We're almost done, at least."
no subject
"I lost my family when I was quite young," he said, not quite biting off the last word. For Ryou, his mother and sister... and for Bakura himself, his entire village.
The water glowed.
