Starting at midnight on the 26th, Luceti and its inhabitants will find itself the focus of the Filial spirits, usually quiet and reclusive, now stepping out to deal with one of their own.

As promised, here is some additional information to help figure out how to play around with the spirits and interacting with similarly possessed people.

First off, each spirit has a certain time or place when they are at their most powerful. Consequently, characters possessed by them will enjoy these boosts and this in itself can be a deciding factor in what would otherwise be a stalemate. Here’s a quick run down:

Sona - She’s most powerful around lakes, rivers, and the ocean. Mostly this is concentrated at the southern lake.

Kipinn - He’s most powerful in high places, like mountain tops and the roofs of community buildings.

Faeren - She’s most powerful in the farmlands alongside things that grow.

Tsinku - He’s most powerful in the village itself, where technology thrives.

Eferin - He’s most powerful in the center of the forest where his heat may cause trees to burn. In fact, the upcoming forest fire may cause some trouble if his followers get too rowdy.

Hyt - It’s most powerful during the daytime under a bright sky.

Twila - It’s most powerful during the night time.

Nala- She has no domain and is generally welcome wherever she goes.

How possessed characters will deal with other possessed characters will depend on the interactions of the spirits themselves. A useful spreadsheet sums up these relationships. Those that have a friendly attitude to one another will generally allow ‘trespassers’ into their domain, but those they are not so friendly with may cause conflict.

Finally, to elaborate on Twila-possessed characters. Those with a natural affinity for darkness are likely to be possessed first. Once they have, they can try to recruit others less-compatible candidates to ‘join the cause’. Their goal is numbers. The more who are working with Twila, the better. Once they do, they’ll be inclined to act in their own self interest and if necessary, deal with others who try to get in their way. In the long term, the spirit Twila wants to stay this way, bonded to the Lucetians as hybrids, that way it cannot be imprisoned again. Think of it as pure survival instinct of an animal that’s spent way too long in a cage.

All isn’t lost. The other spirits may not be able to cage it again, but they won’t accept Twila reacting in this manner. Though it’s hard to tell what their beef with Twila is, they have an instinctive familiarity with the dark spirit and seem to act as its jail keepers.

They have the power to free people from Twila, but given their poor communication skills, figuring that out might just be a challenge. After all, the spirits can only communicate in shades of feeling and intentions, but not actually verbalize directions or marching orders. However, there will be a Malnosso post mid-event that will give everyone, possessed or otherwise, the info they need to turn things around.

all days - Nala-possessed

[Vanille is generally always a warm person. She's friendly and she's happy, curious and upbeat.

Today is really no different. Her wings may be longer, all-over yellow, with a glow to them, but she's just as upbeat and warm as before. Or is she?

No, something's different. When she's passing through the forest and sees a bird with a broken wing, naturally, she would fuss over the bird, but normally, she'd see about taking it to the village with her and getting someone to help her nurse it back to health. Today, she reaches out to it, healing that broken wing without a single thought.

Is there something wrong? Vanille only wants to make things better. She wants to make everything better. No more sadness, no more hurt.

She'll be here and there and everywhere, looking for things or people she can help.]

[So it's the day after. This guy has managed to burn a lot of the parts of his body after starting his house on fire, and he's not looking all that great despite the fact that he's walking just fine. The burns sort of hurt though.

He also looks pretty grumpy too. Aloe vera hasn't done much for him. He is frumping around the fountain now, part of him considering just jumping in the fountain to see if that helped, the other part of him arguing that that's a stupid idea.]

so sorry this is so late! rl kicked me in the teeth.

[Grumpy? That's really not a big deal. Vanille instinctively casts the magic that's needed as soon as she sees Vegeta walking by. It's a fair bit of it, considering those burns, but all's well that ends well, right?]

Feeling better now?

it's ok! no worries at all!

[misterbrief]

[He can feel those burns healing almost immediately, and wow yes he feels a lot better. In fact you've left him almost speechless, Vanille.]

Much. [He rolls his shoulder, testing out his newly healed body part for his own.] And who are you anyway?

[generalflirt]

[Masaomi doesn't really look depressed or put out by any means, nor is he that seriously injured. Rather, he's just got one bandage around his face over a small electrical burn from one of his finger tips, having tasted if he was in fact immune. It turns out after a certain point he was note. But! He's still going about his day, going to collect a bag of iceand trying to find where to put it over his shoulders with his new big wings]

[inhappierdays]

[Little bandage? That only takes a little magic to fix. Vanille smiles as the spell's cast.]

There you go. Feeling better now?

[generalflirt]

[Huhwha- he feels the warmth of the healing before he turns to face the source- and when he does, it's with a sheepish smile]

Surprise! Yeah, much.
