Possession Event

Who: People in Luceti
What: Spiritual possession
When: The 26th to the 1st
Where: Luceti!
Summary: Check out the previous mod post.
Rating: If it gets smutty, move it somewhere private.


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.

    [It's on her way out of the village that Makie runs into Aang-- or rather, is attracted to the sound of violent winds and possibly laughing Avatars somewhere ahead of her in the forest. Sheer curiosity moves her in that direction to investigate.

    ...
    ...she knows that boy. And unlike so many others she's run into, he feels... no different to her. Not a threat. Makie blinks at him.

    ...what is he doing?]


    Aang?

    [He's just finished divebombing through a series of raging wind currents high above them. He comes to a landing nearby and greets her with a smile.]

    Hey, Makie! [He feels oddly smug at the same time, doubting that Makie could do something that cool.]

    [If it helps that feeling of smugness, there's a certain envy in her expression as he lands. She has giant wings. She hasn't yet, even once, tried to fly. It hasn't even occurred to her to try before now, really.]

    You look like you're having fun up there.

    Of course I am! It's one of the most fun things ever. [He beams as he flutters in place.] I bet you can't fly faster than me.
    therewerefifty: (I understand)

    I bet I can't, either. [While she's mostly amused, there's a small and unfamiliar flicker of irritation at the words that she wonders at. It's not like Aang means any harm.] I haven't tried so far. I fear you have the advantage of practice.

    Well go ahead and try! Even if you lose, it'll be more fun that way. [He just feels like he has to out-race her.]

    Hmm...

    [...

    ...well, why not? After all, flying shouldn't be so hard if so many are doing it. She should stop being so stubborn about this. Maybe.

    ...

    She smiles again at Aang, with a faint hint of challenge.]
    I'll try to keep up.

    [That's just what he wanted to here. He smirks back challengingly, and... takes off.]

    Then try now!

    [Makie watches for a moment, staring at the wingspan thoughtfully.

    And then with a powerful sweep of her own wings she takes off after him. HAH. She was right. This is easy! This is ...fun! And free and--

    --help how do I turn or--

    --ack tree--

    --may have collected a whole bunch of leaves on her way to the open sky. >> Oh well.]

    [Aang slows down a bit from looking down and laughing as she emerges from the trees.]

    Way to go, Makie! You really have a lot to learn.

    It's my first time flying. Not so hard to...

    [Trailing off as that sinks in. She's actually flying. Swordswomen don't fly. Uh.

    ...on the other hand, it's one heck of a view from up here. :|a Once she stops thinking so hard about it, staring down at the landscape below, it feels far more natural. Oh. Wow.]


    I'm a fast learner.

    [She gives him a playful smile. And then surges up even higher. Bye.]

    [personal profile] savedtheworld 2013-06-05 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
    We'll see how fast!

    [He giggles with a slight glare and speeds up his own soaring to try to outpace her.]

    [While she has a head start, Aang will slowly outstrip her-- more experience, and he's a Kipinn-boosted air bender. |D But she'll give him as much challenge as she can in the meantime!

    ...to be honest, she's more revelling in the freedom of flying than she is determined to win. But Aang seems to be having fun, so why not.]
    savedtheworld: (fun)

    [He keeps himself at a speed that he can still look back at Makie from - after all, it's less fun than flying alone! Part of him's glad to see her seeming to have fun, but he's also being swayed by pride in outmatching her.]
