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.

    [Oh no.

    Oh no oh no no no--

    BAM!

    Cer is quite stunned for the moment at the flying tackle of his big brother, but then he starts growling something fierce. Get offa him.]


    Get off of me! [It's said without a lot of fire though.] Cer, it's fine. This is Ikki and Soren. They're... friends.

    [The word is forever strange. But he's got them. Cer backs down a little, though he's still wary and ears pointed back.]
    breezing: (- YOU'RE WEIRD.)

    [personal profile] breezing 2013-06-01 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ Ikki will get up, but she's not moving that far away. Chien might leave again if she does. Although - Cer?

    The airbender looks over at the dog, eyebrows raised. ]
    Cer as in your brother Cer?
    dogboy: (07 the poor dog show down)

    [personal profile] dogboy 2013-06-01 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
    ... The one and the same. [He sits up with a small groan, petting Soren affectionately. Hey dumb bird. Cer's sniffing the Swellow cautiously too.] Did I tell you a lot about my brothers?

    [Because this must be weird.]
    breezing: (Default)

    [personal profile] breezing 2013-06-01 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
    Just a little bit. You said they'd have brown souls, I think. [ Ikki's definitely interested in Cer, inching closer. ANIMALS. ]

    ...You didn't say they were dogs, though. [ at least she thinks she'd remember that. She's quiet for only a beat. ] That's so cool!

    [He breathes a sigh of relief. Ikki of all people wouldn't judge him for having dogs as his brothers, blood brothers, and he's happy about that. Cer sniffs her a little too and seeing as Chien's friendly with her he'll lick her hand. Nice girl, nice bird.]

    If Cer's here, then Ber's definitely here too. They're, uh, they're of the same blood as I am because of my past life. So I can feel them both. [Chien knows he hasn't told a ton of people about that. Maybe some angry sprinklings here and there about not being entirely human, but not many know his story.]
    breezing: (- YOU'RE WEIRD.)

    [personal profile] breezing 2013-06-02 12:12 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ Ikki will brighten at the hand lick, and will maybe try to scratch behind his ears if he seems okay with that. Hi, Chien's brother! ]

    Your past life? [ That part sounds new, but she's more curious than anything else. ] But if he's here, we definitely need to find him! Do you think searching from up high will be better than on the ground?
    dogboy: (07 the poor dog show down)

    [personal profile] dogboy 2013-06-02 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
    [He's okay with it, trying to appear more tolerant than anything, but the little wag of his tail is giving away his pleasure at the scratching.]

    I'll tell you about that later, and yeah. Can you and Soren keep an eye out for him? He looks just like Cer and is just as dangerous. Probably scared.

    [Though Ber won't technically be found until nearing the end of the week, it's a request Chien wouldn't give many people.]
    breezing: (~ will airbend you.)

    [personal profile] breezing 2013-06-02 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ She loves him already. ]

    Yeah, of course we can! If we see him, we'll tell you right away. You've got your journal back, right?

    [ Although the way he just mentioned Soren...Ikki slants a glance at her partner, then back at Chien. ]

    Are you going to be staying at the same place...? And about Soren...
    dogboy: (01 when the party was nice)

    [personal profile] dogboy 2013-06-02 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
    [Cer's getting pretty fond of her too!]

    ... We won't stay in the same place as before, since there were a lot of people there and Cer and Ber aren't that good with them. [Evidently.] One of the houses...

    [But at the mention of Soren, Chien turns towards the bird with a conflicted look on his face. On one hand, he'd love have him back as his partner, but... He looks away, withdrawing his hand from Soren's head and leaning back on his palms.]

    You and Soren've been training together, right? I can tell he's stronger and... and calmer now. More focused. Keep at it. We'll... We'll always be brothers, but I don't think I can pick up where I left off. It's been a while.
    breezing: (& daddy: hanging off of.)

    [personal profile] breezing 2013-06-07 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ She would be so pleased to hear it. ]

    Ah...well, be sure to let me know where you're going, okay? And we can still have lunch together again! Only now we can bring the stuff outside of the bakery, since Cer and Ber wouldn't want to be around lots of people. It can be lunch with five people!

    [ Ikki's...actually a bit relieved, although she doesn't for a second think that Soren won't spend a lot of time with Chien - she wants to, too. But in the time Chien was gone...he's probably her best friend, now, and an airbender by honorary title if not blood or world. ]

    We've been training every day. Airbending practice, and also training against pokemon simulations, like Masaomi taught me...and I will. We will! You're always going to be family though, you're right.
    dogboy: (12 beast off me)

    [personal profile] dogboy 2013-06-11 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
    [You're so kind Ikki! Ber'll love her too, being so thoughtful for his brothers. He's happy to hear her agree about the family and to hear about their practices, but...]

    Masaomi's teaching you? [Ewww. Masaomi. The annoyance is pretty clear. He still don't like the guy. Especially after meeting him earlier he's just reminded of what a guy he is.] Forget him and get someone else.
    breezing: (& jinora: say what?)

    [personal profile] breezing 2013-06-11 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
    No, not anymore! I think something happened. Now we just kinda do it on our own, 'cause...a lot of people from that world keep leaving, and I don't really know who to ask about it, now.

    [ AT...ALL....She's considering asking Diamond, though, he seems nice. ]
    dogboy: (05 start the name callin)

    [personal profile] dogboy 2013-06-11 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
    ... A lot of people have been leaving from that world? Like who?!

    [Angry concern!!]
