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.

[The woman there he does recognize as Winry. They've spoken a number of times, had a number of encounters... and now he is seeing her getting into the fountain in the center of town. Or well, at least dipping her feet in in a bikini?! but something does seem odd. She's never been that far on his radar for various reasons, but. Huh.

She does look extra cute today.

He shakes his head finally and saunters over to her. He can at least ask what's up. He's unaware of whatever influence Tsinku has on him in the action]

Heyo, Winry-chan.

[She kicks her feet in the water a couple times before turning a little to face him.]

Masaomi, I haven't seen you in a while. [Huh. For some reason she feels like he's very welcome company.]

[generalflirt]

I've seen you around, but I haven't spoken to you in a while, anyway. [He says this smoothly as he goes to sit on the edge of the fountain, so he can talk while sitting next to her near her]

[installing]

So what have you been up to?

[generalflirt]

Oh, you know, same old, same old. There's been a few touches like helping Shikamaru open that convenience store and of course these new wings on my back. You?

[As he says this, he does looks her over. It's not so much lewd as acknowledging the relative oddity of a woman in pink frilly bikini bottoms and a bikini top - though with some sort of jacket or half-shirt over it - in the middle of town. Once he's satisfied, his eyes go go back to her face]

[installing]

[She returns her attention to her feet in the water. Everything feels so much better like this.]

Well I haven't been to the smithy lately, and the wing thing too, yeah. The house I'm staying in has gotten pretty empty. I suppose I should be looking for roommates.

[generalflirt]

If I didn't already have my own most ideal housing situation I'd accept that, Winry-chan. As it is, I'll sadly have to decline.

[Said with a a rather airy tone. She didn't ask him, but he decided to take it as such]

[installing]

[Winry kicks her feet with a little more energy.]

It's for the best I suppose. I'd have to go through my boyfriend before approving any new housemates.

[generalflirt]

Eh, so that's a subtle way to tell me to back off?

[installing]

Is that what you think it is? I simply didn't want you to be blindsided.

[generalflirt]

Point, point. [And he laughs a little, waving a dismissive hand at that one] As charmed as I'd be, I wouldn't want to offend Boyfriend-san.

[installing]

[She laughs.]

Honestly I don't know if he'd blow a gasket or be too dense to notice.
[She still loves him though.]
