ENDPLOT | ROLL THE BONES, PART 1

Characters: ALL!
Date: Early/Mid November
Location: Under the shell
Situation: It's either Malicant or the Foreigners... and their worlds.
Warnings/Rating: Add warnings as needed.

The Foreigners had begun their counterattack by trying to possess the Great Turtle whom Malicant had taken, and although the movement had failed, some vital information had been uncovered. Under the shell lay Malicant's weakness, and inside the Dreaming was where he could be fought.

Any help from the kedan is uncommon. They're wary, watching, as a group beginning to lose sight of the community. Their family groups are more tightly-knit than ever, and any approach from the Foreigners is answered by suspicion at best and violence at worst. That makes daily life difficult, when the majority of the city refuses to have much to do with them. Why aren't you doing anything? they seem to say. What good are any of you? All you've done is make things worse. We'd be better if you'd never come.

The Foreigners are unwelcome in Keeliai. The cultists are becoming a majority. Now is the time.

There aren't many left of the Foreigners left, but inside the Dreaming the limitations of the waking world no longer exist. For every Foreigner and their worlds, their loved ones, this is the chance to make themselves safe for good. And all of them will be needed.

There are two main headers, one for preparation at the Hotel where Milyn and Eva will be available to speak with The second section where they will be able to search the caves beneath the Shell inside the Dreaming to find the Vilii Stone, and where the boon'd characters will be affected. If you are threading something that doesn't fit one of those categories, just add it to the bottom of the post. Questions go to the plotting post, please! Once the Stone has been acquired the second half of the plot will go live in the logs comm.

Katara suddenly launching through the fire and latching onto him made him stumble. For a moment he was surprised, but only a moment, before he tried to fling her off. Though something in what Valdis said made him pause.

Weak?

That was something he had heard all of his life. His father had always thought he was weak. His compassion and lack of talent in firebending was considered a flaw. Even the entire Fire Nation thought he was weak. Thus that accusation didn't seem to do much. He had heard it many times before. Maybe he was weak. All the more reason to end this with his life.

But then Valdis did the unthinkable. Instead of attacking him, she went after Iroh. Panic inwardly gripped Zuko again as he saw his Uncle go down.

"NO!" he shouted, reaching out in their direction. He then yanked himself out of Katara's grip and ran towards Valdis. "STOP!"

Katara released him the moment Valdis launched toward Iroh, her eyes going huge and the water around her and Zuko swirling around them to become one full stream. She immediately directed it at the wolf with every ounce of hurt and frustration within her knowing subconsciously that it connected, it would be enough to knock the woman off her feet.

Sokka is terribly confused. There's no clear shot on any of them, and he doesn't even know who the bad guys are any longer. Everyone seems to think that the proper way to deal with evil possessed people is by hugging them. How oogie. He can't attack Zuko because of Katara. And after Valdis surprises even him with an attack on Iroh, he can't attack her now because of Zuko throwing himself her direction.

What are these people I don't even—

"Will you people guys stop getting in Boomerang's way!?"

Find, he'll just have to do this a different way; he draws Space Sword finally and cautiously closes in. Even at melee range, there's just too many innocents to rush headlong into this.

Warning for blood

As Iroh rolled with her lunge, she shifted her weight so that she wouldn't crush him. She didn't actually want to injure anyone in order to shock Zuko into beating Malicant. She heard Zuko yell and dipped her head to tear open her leg, allowing her blood to splatter across Iroh, enough to make it appear as if he was injured.

Katara's water struck her in the side and she felt her ribs crack as it threw her from Iroh. She hissed when she hit the ground, but quickly scrambled to her feet. She was certain that everyone thought she was insane, but this was Zuko's last chance and she had to give it to him.

Zuko stopped short just before he reached Iroh, clutching his head again as Malicant's influence continued to struggle for control. However, when he looked up and saw the blood, his eyes widened. Just in time to see Katara attack Valdis as well.

"ENOUGH! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"

Zuko yelled this, his will overriding Malicant's and causing the darkness to lose its hold. Now free of his oppression, Zuko ran to Iroh's side and knelt down beside him.

"Uncle!"

When she was sure Valdis was down and far enough away from the others, she rushed to Iroh's side, reassured to have Sokka there with his space sword as she knelt and moed her hands over the man's side, checking for damage. When she found very, very little, she drew back, confused.

"But this..."

And then, everything changed after Valdis "attacked." Sokka's readiness shifted when Zuko cries out and Katara rushes to Iroh's side with a confused look. The steadiness of Sokka's raised sword wavers and then falls as Zuko finally comes to. Nothing is happening like he thought it was; were either Zuko or Valdis possessed at all?

Still, it paid to not be caught unaware. He raises his sword and continues to eye Zuko and Valdis oddly. "Okay, will someone explain what in the world is going on!?"
