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.

Snort. "It's less my appearance and more my personality, if it wasn't obvious already."

He knows he's decent enough to look at, he doesn't hate himself that much. But everyone likes his replica so much more, and he can recognize the reasons.

[originaljackass]

"Ah, personality. You're not always pleasant, but trust me, other guys have scored with less to work with. I mean, hell, the sheriff back at Fabletown managed to score the hottest babe to be found. And he was the Big Bad Wolf."

In a world where the Big Bad Wolf was humanized and an expy of Wolverine.

[dissonates]

The context is lost on him, so Asch just lifts a brow at that. O...kay, so unusual men score attractive women. He's still not sure that would ever do him any good, though.

"Relationships, romantic or otherwise, have only ever complicated my life. I don't think I need more complications."

[originaljackass]

"But the sex, Asch. Think of the sex."

Relationships were complicated. But sex.

[dissonates]

"Sex isn't everything."

He might be talking to the wrong person for that one, though.

[originaljackass]

"... you have had sex, right?"

Because honestly, that made absolutely no sense.

[dissonates]

"That's none of your business!"

He's flustered now, and that's just what he'd been hoping to avoid. Why is everyone so obsessed with sex!?

[originaljackass]

Jack shook his head.

"You poor man. You need laid. Maybe I should find you someone experienced for you..."

[dissonates]

"I'm telling you, I don't need sex!!" God, why is his sex life so important to this man? It's worse than having Guy trying to set him up with someone.

[originaljackass]

"You say that, buddy, but you're just making yourself miss out. I'd be a terrible friend to let you do that to yourself."

[dissonates]

"You can't make me sleep with someone." He figures Jack is kind of skeevy, but he's not that bad.

[originaljackass]

"I wouldn't do that. Seriously, that would be sick. I mean, how would I even-" Jack shuddered at the thought. "I need a drink now."

[dissonates]

"...Tch. Well at least you have some morals." Asch shrugs, though, and for the moment the issue seems to have been forgiven. He wasn't coercing anyone, just... offering women the chance. Not a great chance, granted, but it was theirs for the taking.

I'm gonna call this a thread end. Fight me.

[originaljackass]

"I have plenty, buddy. Especially not right now. Sit tight, I'll pour you a drink."

And thus Jack vanished off into the back room to find something special for Asch.
