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.

    [ Ah, her dear little art club co-president. Though the thought now came with a somewhat spiteful feeling - if anything, Ikki should be the vice president. But it was no matter - she was unaligned, and Rapunzel could do something about that! ]

    Hello, Ikki! I've been very busy today. Business is booming!

    [ Ikki doesn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary - obviously Rapunzel has bigger wings, but...well, so does everyone else she knows. ]

    Oh, really? Do you need help making stuff? Sifu Raine cancelled school 'cause people were distracted and arguing, so I have lots of free time until this experiment's over.
    degleamed: (you're a tree;)

    [ Ha, that was a good one. Ikki didn't know the secrets of Rapunzel's baking, and she didn't have the time currently to teach her. If she could even learn it.

    However... ]


    You don't have anything to do, hm?
    breezing: (+ talking cheerfully!)

    [personal profile] breezing 2013-06-07 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
    Not really! I mean, I've been giving people flying pointers - people are pretty bad at it, you know - but that's about it. Why, did you need anything?
    degleamed: (let me think;)

    [personal profile] degleamed 2013-06-08 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
    [ Oh, how fortuitous. ]

    I need someone to be a good little errand girl for me. Are you up for the job? You just might get a cookie out of it!
    breezing: (+ dance like the wind!)

    [personal profile] breezing 2013-06-08 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
    Yeah, sure! [ She doesn't even need the lure of cookies to agree near-instantly, although that certainly helps. Rapunzel's one of the people in Luceti for whom Ikki would do pretty much anything, although she admittedly tends to think Rapunzel wouldn't ask her to do anything particularly bad. ] What do you need me to do? Did you need me to get something, or deliver something?
    degleamed: (practically perfect;)

    [ Rapunzel taps her chin as she thinks of how to best put Ikki's services to use. The girl was young and naive, so Rapunzel could use that to her advantage. Hmm... ]

    I need you to go around outside the plaza and shoo away anyone with the large, white wings. They are not welcome here.
    breezing: (- that's STUPID.)

    [personal profile] breezing 2013-06-11 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
    [ ...ummmmmmm.

    Ikki gives Rapunzel a truly puzzled look. ]


    The - the white ones? Hyt's people? [ According to Law, at least. ] I mean, I can, but did they do something to you?

    [ Her lips twitch. Had they done something to her? Ha. ]

    Not yet. But that doesn't mean they won't. And I'd rather be safe than sorry, hm?
    breezing: (& comforting daddy.)
