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.

[He growls, frustrated that he can't dispute that fact.]

That's not me, that's-that's gravity. The way I carry buckets has nothin' to do with how I fight!

Hmf. Gravity, huh? Sounds like another excuse from another loser. [He totally doesn't believe Firo at all. Besides, he kinda looks like a stick...]

[As far as insults go, "loser" isn't that bad. Normally he'd pretend to shrug it off and then bait the guy into starting a fight, but Firo has no patience for that today.

He stomps forward until he's directly in front of Vegeta. It doesn't have the intimidating effect intended, because, yes, Firo is a stick.]

You take that back!

[Yell at the musclebound guy who can control forces you don't even understand; that will definitely end well.]

Give me one good reason why I should do something like that. [Vegeta, Firo just helped you put your house out so it didn't burn down, jessus.]

[He growls and folds his arms over his chest.]

Or I'll make you.

[He means the threat earnestly, but it probably has all the effect of a chihuahua barking fiercely at a German Shepherd.]

[Cue a good laugh out of the Prince.] You? Make me? Go ahead and try it!

[He might even let Firo have a free punch right to his face. It would be entertaining to see how hard this kid can punch.]

[This is a bad decision. Firo realizes that in one of the quiet corners of his mind, but it doesn't stop him.]

Fine, I will!

[With no more ceremony, he punches, aiming straight at Vegeta's nose.

Firo's a hard hitter even accounting for his lack of size, but, well... He's only human. Vegeta's probably taken many worse hits before, if he lets this punch hit at all.]

[He lets it connect, right square in his nose- and well, his nose might of shifted to the side with Firo's punch. It might actually hurt Firo's hand more than it'll hurt Vegeta's face.

He doesn't flinch, he just looks at him with a very straight stone face.]

I thought you said you were going to hit me.

[Mystified by the lack of pain Vegeta's showing, Firo stumbles back and stares. The impact is unusually painful on his hand, and he grits his teeth as he shakes it to get rid of the stinging feeling.]

...Damn it. I did hit you! How'd you not feel that?

[Well, he did help him put his house out. Firo is merely defending his honor and pride; honestly he's probably not that much of a punk, as much as Vegeta would like to address him as thus, which he'll still probably do. He also gets that a lot of beings just aren't acquainted with the Saiyan race, especially here. Just a stupid kid throwing a punch at someone he really doesn't understand.

These are the thoughts running through his head while he decides exactly how hard he's going to hit Firo.]

Why don't you tell me? [Vegeta's hand flies out to attempt to grab him by the shoulder as he takes his knee to try to connect it solidly with Firo's stomach, hard enough that it'll knock the wind out of him and possibly send him flying back a few feet. No broken bones or cracked ribs or anything like that.]

[In all fairness, Firo is kind of a punk. His overreaction was pushed by Eferin's influence, but even without that aggravating force he would've done something to pay Vegeta back for his "rudeness." It just would have been more subtle.

He stumbles backwards a few paces, fighting the urge to hold the area where he was hit. It hurts like hell, and it shows in how he struggles to catch his breath and how he doesn't come any closer to Vegeta.

Once he has a moment to recover, he glares.]

Christ-! That's how you treat somebody who helped you save your house?

If I remember correctly you were the one that threw a punch at me. Now if you'd of used your brain for once you'd of thought twice about attacking me. You're lucky I didn't snap that twig body of yours in half.

But we can do this your way if you'd like. Thanks for helping with the house. Is that what you wanted? [Eferin is making him more sassy too honestly. He probably wouldn't of responded at all but he is all for a verbal fight as well as a physical one right now. Plus he's still angry at this whole fire thing.]

You told me to!

[He would have done it either way, but Firo doesn't care for the details, especially if they make him look bad.

Knowing that it'd end badly, he folds his arms over his chest to keep from throwing another punch. For now. Keeping his temper isn't his forte during the vest of times.]

It's a start. You can finish by takin' back what you said about me bein' weak. And bein' a twig!

[Accuracy be damned; Firo's a Martillo Family capo and capos aren't called twigs!]
