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.

When are you ever? You have about as much joy in you as a black hole!

_{[ He glared at him, wings flaring, oddly hating the fact the other was doing this more than he thought he should. It was... hurtful, for some reason. ]}

[misterbrief]

A force capable of destroying everything in it's path? I'd say that's a pretty good description of me. Thanks for the compliment.

[He's letting out the old evil laugh he uses for fighting his enemies that he knows he can slaughter. Not good!]

[universal_charm]

_{[ Oh god, that was just down right creep. So freakin' creepy. He glared at him all the same, refusing to be cowed, to let some bully get the best of him, ki or no ki. ]}

Actually we have evidence that black holes can be portals through space time - so you're just a conduit, not some great, soul crushing force.

_{[ He shrugged, because that wasn't necessarily true, but white lies, right? And maybe it was not the wisest insult, suggesting Vegeta was something to be used, not have direction of his own. ]}

Jesus, do you have any friends? It's a wonder if this is how you treat them.

[misterbrief]

Please, I've traveled the stars enough to know the destructive potential of a black hole. [He chuckles again, reveling in the fact that he knows he'd caused Kirk a great deal of pain.]

Besides, so I look like I'd waste my time with friends? [He's still got murder on the brain.]

[universal_charm]

Good, so you know what your personality does to people then.

_{[ He glowered, standing up now despite the ringing pain in his abdomen. Damn. ]}

You can't waste time with friends if you have none. You're not good at listening, are you?

so that link is supposed to start at 1:33 and it doesn't :| fffff DW

[misterbrief]

I think a better question is are you any good at listening? Because I think you failed to hear what I said before. [He punches the air in front of him- and those blows land as air strikes into several areas of Kirk's body. He's getting a little bored, he wonders when he should just end it and kill him.]

Re: so that link is supposed to start at 1:33 and it doesn't :| fffff DW

[universal_charm]

_{[ Air strikes, okay, he could do that. After the first one hit he figured out what they were - concussive air waves, and as if that wasn't scary enough, who the hell could make concussive waves with their fists? - he found a way to ease the blows, or something did. The air in front of him thinned dangerously, taking away force from the punches and sending him skidding back, and no doubt bruising him some, but he stayed on his feet, which he counted enough of a victory.}

A 'whoosh' sound filtered into his brain as air rushed to fill the space he had thinned, suddenly feeling tired. ]

Note to self - never get a beer with you. You're probably the worst drunk ever.

[misterbrief]

Actually I had quite a bit of fun the last time I was under the influence. And I didn't even hurt anyone. [Kipinn, he'd forgotten about how it could manipulate the air.]

Now I'm giving you one last chance. Cut it out or I blast you into oblivion. I'm not like the rest of the fools here, and I have no issues killing anyone who gets in my way or otherwise. You soon forget that fact, Kirk. [He knows killing someone won't bode well in the village either, but if he's pushed he will conveniently disregard the 'rules'. Besides, a drink sounds good right about now anyway. He could use a few after this week so far.]

[universal_charm]

I don't forget it, I just like to think you have enough of a moral compass left not to. It's a dangerous part of my personality, I guess.

_{[He glared, pumping his wings and sending a large gush of air and dust at the other. ]}

[misterbrief]

Perhaps a part that you'll learn to curb. [Every part of Eferin's temper is raging through him but Vegeta decides to take care of this in a better manner- one that won't have the village on a manhunt for him, because honestly what good would that do. He'll kill him on a draft or something like that instead. Though by then he won't be possessed anymore.

So he does his little act of disappearing right before Kirk's eyes- and appearing directly behind him, aiming a nice blow right to the area underneath his ear, an area that if struck hard enough will knock them out.]
