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.

    [Something is wrong with Law, oh yes. Gai can tell that much when he goes in for his transfusion and check-up and encounters... well. The normal Law possesses a considerable amount more emotion than the average brick wall. He also doesn't have those giant white wings, either.]

    Suspicious. And now he's wondering if it has to do with those tunnels... the timing doesn't seem like a coincidence to him.]


    That's an interesting new fashion statement.

    [Referring, of course, to the wings.]

    [It's lucky that a deep part of Law remembers and fights to be here, because most of the day he's been roaming and absolutely dismissing his normal obligations. The stare is hollowed out, masking for the moment the eternal war between Law and Hyt.

    It feels like fighting himself, really.]


    Very trendy. Careful, it's catching. You want to avoid black. It's not in.

    That's too bad. It happens to be one of my favorite colors.

    [Law has seen his uniform, after all-- black and red, utilitarian and fitting for a group whose name alludes to death.]

    I wonder how I somehow managed to miss the announcement.

    [He certainly appreciates it. Law wears a ton of it.]

    It just hasn't come around yet. Sooner or later someone will come knocking at your inner door.

    Unless this [and here he gestures to the crystals on his face] is enough to make them change their mind. Humans may not be the only thing that has trouble with the Apocalypse Virus.

    Maybe, maybe not. The dark might take the risk.

    ... have you ever heard them before?

    The Spirits?

    [He shakes his head.]

    I've never tried. I rely on my abilities and my abilities alone.

    Mmmm. Sounds like a good thing you haven't. I started hearing them within hours of my arrival here, no effort to contact them required. It was like I was already attuned.
    voidseeing: (The line starts here)

    [personal profile] voidseeing 2013-06-03 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
    Then I'll take that as a definite sign that they aren't interested in me. I haven't heard so much as a peep out of any of them.
    deathsdoctor: (Neutral | shifting to look at you)

    [personal profile] deathsdoctor 2013-06-05 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
    Let's hope that doesn't change. Although, frankly, I hope some of the ones who can aren't being fashionable at the moment. I can't hear any of the other spirits like this.

    ... they might be able to find out what's going on as long as they can avoid being taken themselves.

    You just hear them in your head, like another presence there?

    [Gai is curious as to how exactly this whole thing works. Not that he's ever put any effort into contacting them, but he hasn't even heard any of them around either.]
