[EVENT | 4TH WALL] FIX IT FORTUITY | Feb 18-Mar 11

Characters: Everyone and anyone, including our visitors
Date: Feb 18, 2018-March 11, 2018
Location: This log can be used for anywhere to do with the fourth-wall event.
Situation: Many and various. There are a few starters in the comments below, or create your own!
Warnings/Rating: Please add warnings in subject headers as needed.


This year there's no sudden explosion to mark the influx of people. The weather is still faintly snowy, crisp and chill, and though there are days when the sun breaks through the clouds it doesn't do much to make things genuinely warmer.

Much like light slipping between the clouds, other Foreigners start slipping into the city, here and there. By this time the kedan and the anchored Foreigners know more than well enough what a Foreigner with no soul gem means, and by the time the third drifter has shown up it's considered sign enough for enthusiastic miniature pop-up markets to spring up where the snow is melting away, much like flowers.

Cheerful, profit-seeking flowers.

All the same, with the recent collaborations between Foreigners and kedan, the kedan are much more willing to look kindly on the newcomers-- at least so long as they don't cause too much trouble.

There's some speculation about what might be causing it -- the phenomenon comes earlier than it has before, not quite into spring yet -- but once objects start appearing and disappearing, it's safe to say the Dreaming can be blamed. As unpredictable as the Dreaming can be, this makes more than a few people relax-- at least it's a known unpredictability. The items that vanish are always of personal value, regardless of monetary worth, and they usually reappear later. And some items simply appear. Whether or not they'll stay forever remains to be seen, but it's always things with some emotional attachment, often which were on the mind or in conversation recently.

And often, the feeling of being watched, or that you've seen this thing before, no matter if it's impossible.

"Yes-" to both. "She was arrested for... it's complicated, and from well before I came here. Have you heard anything of Malicant?"
unfavorableinstigation: Nita looking directly at the viewer, mouth slightly open, as if she's in the middle of an important or unamused expression. (Focused)

Nita put down what was in her hands, giving Bisi her full attention.

"Some, but probably not nearly enough. How much have you been able to figure out?"
ten_zero: (melancholy)

"There's nothing to figure out so much as piece together. No one, Kedan or foreigner alike, are particularly anxious to share.

"Malicant was an alien being that controlled the Kedan through strange means, partially through a substance called Dust, developed by a man named Danseng. [ Sp? ] And as we very recently discovered, aided by the healer Milyn. She claims her intentions were noble, and I believer her, but..."

She trailed off. Intentions didn't always mean a lot.
unfavorableinstigation: Nita Callahan kneeling in the woods, drawing a glowing blue diagram on the ground while reading from a book. (Drawing a Spell Diagram)

"With even that much, it's not hard to see why they're hesitant," Nita replied.

Poisoning - well, drugging, but those were more-or-less the same thing, in some ways - must have taken some reasoning to seem worthwhile to a healer.

"She didn't come up with the idea, then?" Maybe she just didn't like her own peoples' nature or something, though that was a problem all its own...
ten_zero: (neutral)

[personal profile] ten_zero 2017-02-28 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"I think it's less that she didn't come up with the idea and more that her idea was for a slightly different drug with a significantly different purpose, but both were corrupted."

"It seems the KPD were also objecting to some voluntary experiments she was doing recently in an attempt to cure it, too."
unfavorableinstigation: Nita looking directly at the viewer, mouth slightly open, as if she's in the middle of an important or unamused expression. (Focused)

Now that changed things a bit - at least in regards to Milyn's character.

"Was it just that she was doing experiments, or were they objecting to something else?"

She might have to ask Conan about some of this stuff.
ten_zero: (disgusted)

[personal profile] ten_zero 2017-03-02 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm not... entirely sure. I've been... preoccupied of late."

She's not going to explain why she hasn't been following up on Milyn's arrest because she's been too lovesick over a boy. That is definitely not happening right now.

"But I'll be looking into it soon, I think."
unfavorableinstigation: Nita looking right, holding a book. (I'm In The Book)

[personal profile] unfavorableinstigation 2017-03-03 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Nita would actually be able to sympathise if Bisi did admit it - she's had troubles like that herself.

"Some things we can't help," Nita replied, shrugging.

"But it's good you are looking into it. I'll try and do it, too, while I'm around."
ten_zero: (melancholy)

Valkyr nods.

"We should probably get back to work. There's still a lot to do."
