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.

    [Admittedly, those kind of plans were always the part he'd hand off to Scully, were she around.]

    I'd like to test their limitations, see what they're capable of. I'm sure there's equipment to measure their strength and so on, right?

    [He can hand them off to Ami in Scully's absence. She enjoys that sort of thing.]

    There should be. I have some ideas about that already. [Or rather, she's mentally inventoried what they can use for that type of experiment.]

    [Good, good, because as much as he likes to probe into things, he still needs a good scientist's perspective as well.]

    I'd be interested in hearing more about those. We have to take advantage of this opportunity while we can.

    Mm. We can go back to the clinc if you want. [She has enough basics there, and the battledome can help her simulate more tests.]

    But you know... the wings being like this, if it doesn't last, they might also not be like the Third Party's or anything else right now.

    [It might not help them much, in other words.]

    [There's still a strong feeling that he needs to seize the chance while they have it. Even if it does nothing much.]

    That's a definite possibility... but I'd rather know for certain, either way.

    I'd want to know, too. [That's why she offered the clinic to start. It was something worth knowing. If there was really a danger, if they were really undergoing some change similar to the horror stories they'd heard about the Third Party, they needed to know and be ready for that.]

    Let's find out together.
