EVENT | ZUGZWANG | SEPTEMBER 21-28

Characters: ALL!
Date: September 21-28, 2014
Location: Keeliai
Situation: Something in the city has caused the Foreigner's powers to go off the charts, affecting even those who wouldn't possess any. Things pretty much go downhill from there...
Warnings/Rating: Add warnings as needed.

The state of affairs in Keeliai has been tense since the incident at the Midnight Hotel with Evandau, and the aftereffects have put a touch of pall on the city. Kedan look at each other distrustfully, wondering who among their number might be possessed by Malicant's essence and that suspicion carries to the Foreigners as well. How can they fight for us? they seem to be asking. They can't even stop fighting amongst themselves and the Emperor. Of course, the kedan's opinion of Evandau is likewise not exactly stellar any longer, as whether through inevitability or design, his cold actions of killing those who cross him has come to light. While there's no open dissent in the ranks (and likely, it seems, more due to fear of repercussion than loyalty) there are certainly looks and whispers.

The turtle hatchlings have also picked up on it, and they've become quieter than normal. Especially those who are suffering under shedding the remainders of Malicant's taint if they were injured by the poisoned weapons, they'll seem hesitant to bother their parents for minor things, or if possible will ask a parent who isn't afflicted first.

It feels like the calm before a storm.

Then I'll apologize to him, too.

[He didn't really care if she'd done it to get him in trouble with Jack over it or not. The words were hurtful regardless.

Wan offered a bow.]


Thank you again.

[She nodded. Good.]

Let's...not do this again. Preferably ever.

I'll leave you alone. You won't even know I'm there.

[He took it as meaning he should continue avoiding her. He wasn't surprised she didn't want to see him again after this.]

[Tempting.]

[Except...this awful thing had been happening to her recently. The worst. She wanted to blame the time she'd spent living in Keelai, but the truth of it was...she was just growing up. Getting more mature. And mature meant not ignoring the guy who had just apologized and confessed something very private about his past.]


You don't have to do that.

I'll see you at home.
raavashing: (upset: Put you on your feet)

[Wan looked up in surprise, but didn't reply. He just nodded, then turned and started off for a different part of the park. He still needed some time to clear his head. More so now that she'd given him permission not to avoid her completely.]
