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.

That actually tallied with his observations besides. Most of the children in Keeliai were magically or mentally powerful. They'd been brought in for a reason as much as anyone else--for the power and the determination, rather than experience or wisdom.
no subject
But that wasn't what was important right then. She turned her attention back to the turtle. "Is there anything I can do, Marcelon?" she asked her softly.
no subject
"Interesting," Solomon murmured, and tweaked a fold of Marcelon's skin. "At least you won't have trouble with needing a place to swim in future."
"Emily-Helen won't," Marcelon mumbled.
no subject
Solomon's comment drew a nod against the top of Marcelon's head, until she heard the turtle's retort. "Emily-Helen...?" she asked quietly, gentle and curious.
no subject
"This is Emily-Helen," he said, equally quietly. "Was. She and Marcelon bonded over having difficult parents." And Solomon had been a difficult parent, at first, not because he couldn't spare the time but because he'd been convinced he was the wrong person for the job. He still wasn't entirely convinced even now, but he hadn't done too badly yet and it was a responsibility he couldn't just ignore either way.
Emily-Helen had had to fight tooth and nail just to get Bakura to accept her. She had been one of the few things he had in his life that was worthwhile. She still was--but now he was going to deny it with every fiber of his being just because of how much it hurt.
