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.

[Aang's above her, spiraling through the air and laughing.]

Sokka did it!

[Sokka is not in the general area at this time, most likely.]

[WOW, this sure is a moment where Norma wishes she knew how to fly properly, so she can chase after this little bugger. Maybe she should just shoot him down with a fire spell. See how her eres are when she's got a heated up spirit cackling inside her head and stuff. She has yet to really use any of her new powers, so...]

As if I'd believe that! Get down here or else I'll shoot you down! One way or the other, you're about to get grilled, so you're better off on the ground. [ROLLING UP HER SLEEVES. She is so going to do it, man.]

[But really, Aang can't keep up teasing Norma. Not when she's mad. After all, she's really cool, isn't she? He swoops down and flutters near her, waving his hands apologetically.]

Sorry! I didn't want to get you mad. I thought you'd like it! [He just wants to impress the cool girl with the rad Eferin wings.]

[Unapologetically, Norma smacks poor Aang upside the head when he finally lands close by. Really, it could have been so, so much worse, but he was just a kid. A good kid, too - so she couldn't really stay too mad at him, and not for too long, either. Besides, he knew how to have fun!]

Not when I'm on the receiving end! Jeez...

[He flinches slightly with the hit, but he chuckles at it at the same time. He knew he had it coming - and he only respects Norma more for expressing her anger like that.]

Okay, fine. Then how about you can pick out the next target?

[Norma hums as she runs a hand through her messy hair - jeez, she could use a shower - and flicks more of the grime off her fingers. Someone to prank, someone to prank...ah! Ahaha, she knows the perfect victim.]

Well, if you see any of those drips around, maybe they could use a sweet treat? I just know they'll appreciate it~!

A... drip? The who?

Oh, come on! The Drips - y'know...water-suckers? Algae-eaters? Kelp-kissers? [GET WITH THE PROGRAM, AANG.]

Sounds very... water-y.

Thaaaat's kinda what they are. Jeez, you're clueless! Guess I've gotta spell it out for you... The people've who've gotten in touch with the water spirit.

They're the Drips.

That's not a very nice way to talk about them, Norma.

[He pouts.]

I really like those guys...

[OOC: Continued here!]
