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.

[ooc: No big deal! I thought that was what you meant.]

I can make it that big because I'm just that great! [...Of course.] Now will you let go of me?

[Seven feet tall or no, it still didn't stop her from desperately trying to wriggle free. No hugs allowed!]

I know you're that great. It's why I came to you to hug you and admire you and want to learn from you...

[Daisy opens her eyes. Oddly enough, Kipinn seems to be amused by this, but lets her stop hugging the smaller girl. But still holds her hands like an eager schoolgirl.]

I think I remember your voice. Your name was Jane, right? I'm happy to see you in person and knowing so much about fire!

[Oh dear. She was more or less free now, but that didn't change the fact that she was looking at Daisy with the most suspicious look she could muster.]

That's my name, but don't be a weirdo about it! Don't you know how rude it is to just grab someone out of nowhere? Learn some manners!

I'm sorry. I know there should be some distance, but I just saw you and let my emotions take over, but please. [Her face comes closer.] Once this is over, please teach me how to make fire like that! I can't do it now, so you are the most amazing person to try it with!

H-hey! [Personal space, personal space!]

From the sounds of it you're still letting your emotions take over! Besides, if you can't learn it now, I can't teach you even if I want to.

W-what!?

[She shrinks. She puts both hands over her chest.]

Please! I beg you! Teach me after Kipinn is done with! I like the winds but I want to learn about the art of fire from someone as enlightened and as fiery as you!

You don't understand, I really can't! I understand wanting to learn from someone as great as me, but after Eferin's gone I won't be able to use fire magic anymore. So it's impossible!

NO!

[Overdramatic, but the tall girl falls on her knees and sets her forehead on the ground in front of Jane.]

Someone with that much power has so much potential... If it was possible to teach you fire I would... Someone as amazing deserves to learn after this.

...

[Yeah, this was kind of weirding her out. In fact, she even saw fit to fly up to the top of the nearest tree without a word.

Eferin was probably enjoying the attention, but it just made Jane wary.]
