MOD EVENT #001

[oblivium]

A CHAOTIC RESPITE

It isn't rare for the seasons in the Netherworld to be a little erratic, though many days have passed now without much of a hint of its typical mercuriality, a good and a bad omen all at once. This respite is commonly referred to as the proverbial "calm before the storm", but it also marks the beginning of merrier celebrations. The Moons above are gilded silver, the twilight sky edged with faint pink and orange -- a sunrise phantasm, spilling over the horizon. It's an infrequent spectacle, accompanied by a dulcet breeze and light drizzles that seem to encourage growth nearly everywhere. Unfortunately, under its influence, people seem a little on edge, quick to anger, but no matter; around Stygia, Restless have begun hanging decorations and ornaments on trees and windowsills, left to catch the moonlight and give off marigold and ginger glows, warmly lighting up the city. Rather than fish, the smell of freshly ground spices permeates the air in the Harbors, Mirth keeps its doors opened to all, but just before the festivities officially begin, a cacophony of chimes resounds all over, a transmission difficult to ignore.

On the screen of your cellphone, nothing; only a voice, ragged, out of breath...

“The woods... Oakwoods! They've come alive! O-One minute he was complaining about the water seeping into his boots, and the next he was... he was being yanked up into the trees! We didn’t see what happened to him, but we heard... the screams, ohh, the screams. Please! Come to Serene, I beg you. This is our safest sanctuary, and the lan... oh, no... wait, no, please... please... NOOO--”

...and the feed abruptly ends, a dull chirr of static. Will you ignore the stranger's call for help and feast, or venture into the woods?

► I. KNOCK ON WOOD (OH PUCK, HE'S HOT!)

When you cross the gates of Serene, an old woman welcomes you, palm flat against her chest and disquiet in her eyes. Myrtille, her name. Oakwoods loom dense and dark in the distance behind her, groaning low as leaves rustle without wind. The Mourning Lantern was stolen, and malevolence rose in turn, dooming them all.

“It was once kept here, a sacred Artifact crafted from the bones of Serene's first founder, who gave her heart’s blood willingly to the woods in an act of contrition. It's the absence of the lantern that is contributing to the wood’s unusually active malice, and if you lot cannot retrieve it, then we must sacrifice another. Go! Take these torches and go, before Oakwoods swallow us whole.”

So you've decided to be brave. Commendable, or foolish? The wood is dark and shrouded in mist, and the trees crowd around you, an absent wind somehow whispering foul nothings in your ear as dead leaves rustle around your feet. Your Shadow basks in the murmurs, sensing the malign presence in Oakwoods as a faint, garbled scream echoes in the distance. You wander deeper and the canopy thickens, thin streaks of moonlight peppering the woods in deep patches of darkness. Behind you, a creature you can't see hisses, and a fluttering of wings nearby alerts you to the arrival of snickering harpies lurking on branches. “Dead,” they croak, in a sing-song chorus. “Dead as daylight.” Oddly enough, they seem content to just watch and stalk you, perhaps expecting you to die quickly, an easy and effortless meal.

It's a frustrating errand if you've ever known one. You barely know what you're looking for, and your Shadow thrives in the dark, taunting, coaxing. You hear it then; a haunting melody, the silhouette of a boy on a fallen tree trunk, strumming. “Come,” he says, with a voice that shimmers like the sun on moving water. If you remember what that's like. “Rest a while. Forget your troubles.” For anyone familiar, you'll recognize him as a Puck, famous prankster, and from his hand dangles a lantern.

► If you attempt to take the lantern from him, he'll immediately drop it to the ground, causing it to break. You may choose to kill him and offer his blood to the woods, or let him go and bleed in his stead. Myrtille should be able to repair what's left of the lantern once the offering's been made.
► If you politely ask to return it, he promises that he will... if you indulge him for the night.

No matter what you choose, you will come across camps, either on your way in or on your way back: pitched tents, most moth-eaten, and some containing vestiges of prior expeditions such as putrid corpses or rotten food. You've been wandering for a while, and sleep sounds terribly inviting. Unfortunately, a wind finally picks up, and leaves begin to blow around you. A nick, then a cut, then a slash reveal the leaves to have razor sharp edges. Sleep well yet? If you've spared the Puck, he'll encourage you to sit with him around a campfire, where he'll sing and tell stories. Or are they. Perhaps you've heard of Bloody Mary before. Slenderman? The Devil that'll make you dance until you die? While the lantern remains in stranger hands, the thread between reality and fiction narrows; protagonists from the Puck's legends come to life, and the only way to rid of them is by quenching the flames of the fire.

Your journey unfortunately doesn't end there. The Puck has a riddle for you: I am a word that is hardly there. Remove my start, and I'm an herbal flair. What am I?

If you fail to answer correctly, he'll vanish before you, and you can bid the lantern goodbye. You'll be forced to gather the bones from the corpses scattered across the woods, and feed it your blood -- or a friend's -- before you escape and return to the woman. The offering will leave you drained and exhausted, weak on your legs. If, on the other hand, you do answer correctly, the lantern is yours, and you'll be teleported out of the woods with a boon in your pocket: a piece of parchment invites you to visit your home in the Shadowlands. There, you'll find an object (or a pet) that belonged to you in your world.

the answer to the riddle is sparsely! it's up to you whether you'd like your character to fail.
legends told around the campfire can be any of the ones mentioned above or any other that might strike your fancy! go wild, have fun!
remember that if you pick an item from your character's world as their boon, it'll eventually disintegrate unless reforged with a soul.

► II. GO BIG OR GOURD HOME

Welcome to the Frightful Harvest, a festival that marks the beginning of the Respite, a temporary period of tranquility between seasons. It acknowledges the blessings offered and the role that both good and evil play in the Netherworld. It is a time to give thanks, but more importantly, it is a time of reflection and warding. Warding against not only the darkness of the next seasons to come, but of the nefarious creatures and struggles that will undoubtedly follow.

Carved pumpkins and straw bales are placed everywhere around the city, and streamers and banners are hung from every home and storefront. Decadent cakes, candies, and pastries are made in over-abundance in order to accommodate everyone, and from the lush gardens of Radiance, an elderly, dark-robed man addresses the Netherwork. You'll learn by eavesdropping on nearby Restless that his name is Doran, the oldest among you and loved by all. His smile stretches kind, and while not an official member of the Hierarchy, it's clear he has certain privileges -- well-deserved, or so you hear.

“Let us gather, feast, dance and celebrate. Let us hold our glasses high for those who heroically perished, for goodness, and for the Ascended. May their journey inspire us to change our lives and the lives of others, to resist evil, and to triumph. To you, dear friends!”

And without further ado, let the festivities begin!

► BARDIC BLITZ
The bardic blitz is a friendly competition that pits talented musicians against one another in an attempt to win over the affection of the crowd through festive melodies or personal compositions. Although it can be hosted just about anywhere, the bardic blitz is normally held in a large canvas tent directly in the heart of Mirth, though smaller crowds also gather in Serene and the Harbors around bonfires.

► FEAST
Although all cultures around Stygia bring their own tastes and specific flair to the celebrations, there are a few staple trade goods that you can find at nearly any celebration of the holiday throughout the city. Many producing the various cakes, beverages, and cookies also use the time to test and perfect their recipes, teaching others or using them as guinea pigs.

► Firstdawn Tea: This revitalizing crimson tea soothes the mind and body and is brewed from the roots of the dawn flower, which only sprouts during the Respite.
► Grablenuts: These fist-sized brown nuts have a hard, stippled outer shell and soft, delicious spicy centers. A single bite will slightly lower your inhibitions, and you may find yourself seeking proximity and warmth.
► Elysium: A nonalcoholic beverage that smells and looks as bad as it tastes. Only those with the strongest will manage to gulp it down. Once drunk, the person experiences true bliss, which seems to last for hours; in reality, it's only a few minutes.
► Will-o-the-Whiskey: Whisky with minor hallucinatory effects, visual and auditory.
► Sundrop: A pound cake coated in a sugary lemon drizzle. No side-effects, just delicious!
► Shadowfell Candy: Chewing on this candy will grant the character a deep and rejuvenating sleep, during which they will appear dead to anyone.

. ► HARVEST HUNT
The harvest hunt happens in a corn maze located in Mirth's amusement park, specifically created for the occasion. Because of the labyrinthian horrors dwelling in the Tempest, some find the terror-free replica a little inappropriate, yet participants still abound every time. A favorite seasonal game of the exuberant and athletic, characters take on the role of either hunter or prey, racing through the maze to either corner their quarry or escape the hands of their pursuer. As long as Shadows behave, it's a relatively safe activity. Friendly spars sometimes occur, picnics, and star-gazing.

► THE PARADE
The parade is the activity most looked forward to by younger Restless. Citizens clad in colorful costumes walk the streets to the rhythm of festive music, and according to tradition, it helps ward away any lingering evil that might try to hide in the community. For reasons unknown, incidents where Restless unwillingly swap bodies sometimes occur.

► III. WAYWARD SUN

The Warding Ritual is a private affair, a behind-the-scene execution on the last day of the festival as you dance and feast and frolic, blissfully unaware. Something goes awry. First, a shriek in the distance, and soon, birds flying away in apparent surprise as the landscape rustles with the sounds of creatures and Restless alike fleeing. A vague sense of dread knocks the air out of your lungs, an iron grip around your throat. And you see it then, a headless figure shrouded in a black veil of cloth, sword in one hand and a bright flaming pumpkin in the other. Its head. It thunders through the night on its skeletal horse, its blade flashing in the moonlight in search of prey. Heads fall. You might get injured during the chase -- collateral damage. 10 members of the Hierarchy won't ever rise again, and the rider eventually charges into the Tempest, leaving behind bloody puddles and a slather of confusion. If you opt to help clean up the mess, you might come across stained sheets of paper on the ground, a painting of a white scorpion in the middle. Otherwise, it's time for you to go home.

[damnpire]

[The parade isn't something D has never seen before. Distantly, like this. Perhaps not this close, not lingering right at the edge of everyone else as they all wait and watch and chatter. It's not a bad thing, this gathering. He's fond, even knowing this isn't people "living" their lives--none of them are alive. He's fond nonetheless.

His gaze skims over the heads, idly, slow, studious. His dark eyes connect briefly with Set's face, peering from beneath the lashes, the brim of the hat. He really looks like someone Set knows, doesn't he? Familiar. The same dark eyes, the same dark hair, the same taciturn expression. But it's D only, and he's looked away again.

The way he sort of turns, it's as if he may start to leave actually. Maybe not from Set exactly, but from being marred within a throng of people and being known, somehow, by another. Please don't perceive him, thank you.]

[constellational]

⟪ HE’S NOT A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS.

unfortunately, his past claims otherwise. loudly. but it wasn’t always this way. shiro possesses a large collection of broken records under his belt, odds beaten, and various instances of endurance. even his time in the arena was a pretty good show of strength, but it left wounds that still struggle to heal, and he just doesn’t have the same fortitude he once did.

both physically and mentally.

he is a liability. he also knows it’s not anything keith would readily admit—the boy is stubborn to a fault, and there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for him. that’s where the issue lies. that is why shiro is more hindrance and less assistance. the apprentice has surpassed the master a long time ago…

…but keith doesn’t give up.

sometimes, it’s a bitter aftertaste in his mouth. inadequacy plagues his mind almost as much as nightmares do, but sitting useless back home would just reinforce his frustration. his fears. so he tries, instant regret when keith stops to look at him, almost immediately distracted by another harpy. ⟫

It’s just the wind, Keith. ⟪ the harpy squints at them, ruffling its feathers as its gaze swivels from keith to shiro.

Too small.
Gnawed on.

and it flies away, seemingly annoyed, leaving shiro momentarily puzzled. ⟫ Did she... insinuate that I've been partially eaten? ⟪ his face scrunches into a tiny scowl, brows knitted. ⟫ Should I be offended?

[damnpire]

[Yes, how does it feel to have a taste of your own medicine, Claude?

D does not notice any difference, but he also does not care. He, too, is a man that works on the Need to Know Basis. He walks along with Claude, listening to others shriek in delight and playful fear.]

Troublesome.

[But not exactly completely horrendous, or he would have described it that way, being as frank as he is as a person. The knick-knacks and their effects are troublesome; the plight in the woods, troublesome; the odd sort of easy to find irritation, troublesome; being hedged in this maze, his Shadow rolling beneath his skin, troublesome.]

Why did you come in here?

ii

[prozaic]

[shalem has a dagger and it's often a bad idea to allow him to continue to use it, especially when drawing blood is on the table. but in this no-win situation? shalem would rather bleed himself. even if his shadow is whispering in his ear to not just take the man's blood, but also his whole head and dig into the skin to see what his skull would look like. how inconvenient it is to have a shadow, when he already had these horrible urges in life.

he smiles at his companion, but it's a fragile one, bound to break any moment, and his tail wrapped around his own leg belies how tense he is.]

Unfortunately, I have a problem with bleeding other people. When it comes to me however, it's much easier.

[then he pulls his dagger from its sheath at his hip and rolls one glove up to bare the back of his hand.]

How much blood do you think is needed?

iib

[paraselenes]

[ Even if Felix doesn't want him around, they do naturally end up together from time to time. It's fate—they were born with a generations-long legacy of ruling, fighting, and resting side by side.

And apparently, sharing a drink or two. He eyes Felix's reaction; his reaction to the bottle speaks to how rancid it is, even if Dimitri's sense of smell is mediocre at best. He tries not to look amused, offering an open hand towards him. ]

If it's so unappetizing to you, I will take it.

[ He also has no idea what it is. But if someone has to drink spoiled wine, it may as well be him—it won't wound his stomach or his appetite, at least. ]

[prozaic]

Or at the docks amongst people who enjoy such songs. [now that he's found a decent spot to start fishing, he starts to nudge a stool towards it with his foot.]

They spend hours at sea with just each other for company, so of course they would encourage each other in many ways. You're free to say no, however, and I'm sure they'll... survive.

woods!

[paraselenes]

[ Sometimes you are the reckless person being handed a supply pack. Dimitri looks at it before there's a quick, fluttering blink of surprise towards Aspen's wings, but doesn't stare long enough to be rude. ]

...Thank you.

[ He accepts it, if only because he might need it if he encounters someone injured in the woods. ]

I believe people are spreading out to try and track down the lantern faster—I had intended to go forth alone as well. [ But he's also a trained warrior. Aspen's not wrong; there are bound to be some overzealous few who'll get wounded. ] Will you be staying here? I can look for someone to help provide you sanctuary, if you like.

horseman!

[paraselenes]

[ Dimitri is no stranger to viscera; the stink of blood, ferrous and sharp, is the same here as it was in life. A corpse cools at the same rate. What he isn't prepared for is the way darkness floods through Set's eyes, dark as his veins, pained as the sounds choked in his throat.

He watches it happen thrice before it seems that Set is done, crouching beside him to listen to his words. ]

...Rest. I will find them.

[ Their heads. If they weren't harvested, they were likely knocked away some distance—as grisly as the possibility was. ]

But first, what happened to you? [ He doesn't need any more casualties on top of what they're already dealing with, and that looked... harrowing. ]

festival u_u make snek sing

[prozaic]

[whatever possessed shalem to come even remotely close to the bardic blitz, where people are dancing and singing, and encouraging others to dance and sing as well? perhaps it's himself, drawn to the merriment because he misses music and dance. but when he's here, he realizes there's a high chance of being pulled into the crowd and encouraged to let his voice loose.

while he's not phantom and there's nothing dangerous to behold when he sings, shalem struggles more with keeping his darker half in check. it's why he holds his hands up when someone tries to do exactly what he fears.]

No-- [his voice pitches high for a moment, before he gets ahold of himself.] No thank you, I'm not a singer, I just wanted to have a listen...

[boarwitness]

[at the sound of claude's voice, felix turns, a shadow of surprise writ unguarded on his face—before flattening out into something more disgruntled.]

So you're dead as well. [so much for the alliance, then. did this mean edelgard won by nature of being the last man standing?

he pushes the bottles away, turning in his seat to get a better look at the man. claude had grown a bit since academy days, a point which, on reflection, ired him. furthermore, claude was rather cunning. if he was presenting himself to him here, there had to be a reason to it—they'd never talked enough to be more than passing acquaintances.]

Did you finally fall victim to one of your concoctions?

[but everyone knew the rumors.]

[boarwitness]

[he'd been passively aware of dimitri's nearby presence for some time now. somehow. if asked to explain it, he would have brushed it off as smelling the beast before it arrived—but it really had been uncanny. overall, he didn't really feel it merited dwelling on. he could tolerate him, as long as he wasn't being irritating.

like right now. talking to him like it was a completely natural thing to do. irritating.

he makes a face, and pulls the bottle towards himself.]

No. The last thing I need is Sylvain bothering me because I poisoned you.

[coherer]

Hibiki, (he echoes, attention sinking to the man who's just died in her arms.) Fujiwara Hibiki? It's Jonas. We... We talked a couple of times over text. It's whatever if you can't remember.

(it's easier to focus on ichigo's lesson in pronunciation than on dead eyes and pallid skin. jonas looks away, pretending. if everything is normal and they're doing normal things, he doesn't have to address the blood and its smell that's begun to make him nauseous.

the tactic won't last, not when everywhere jonas turns, there are headless bodies strewn like decor across the ground.)

Some "warding ritual." (it's said bitterly and under his breath. the song was a soothing balm, but like all balms, while leaving a residual, it won't linger in the skin indefinitely.) Where... Where can he go? Does he—if that were either of us, where—he died, didn't he? I thought... I thought we couldn't die again.

[coherer]

These are if you can actually get them to—there. (jonas muscles open a grablenut, looking triumphant, and by the shells scattered in front of him, it appears to be his third in as many minutes.

oh, but he's being rude. this gentleman has been peering around like a lost lamb. that was jonas an hour ago, wondering if any of the food was actually edible for humans. now that he's gotten his answer, feeling good, he will graciously share it with the masses.)

Oh, here, (he remarks, offering his prize grablenut out to better congratulate grimmjow.) Just watch out, they're a bit spicy—did you dress up for this? Above and beyond, man. That mask thing looks creepy as hell. Kudos.

[coherer]

Yes, mother, (jonas answers solemnly, tucking an arm up to cushion his head.

at first blush, this guy doesn't look like the friendliest sort, which is why books should never be judged by their covers. d's outwardly unapproachable, but concerned about jonas. jonas, who finds this—and everything else—rather funny at the moment, smiles.)

Don't worry about it, okay? Besides, if you're having a bad trip, it's better if someone's close by anyway. (supposing d is greening out, jonas feels responsible to put him at ease; people who wine and dine on various drugs together should stick together.) It'll stop soon, I promise, but in the meantime, you're right where you should be. Lying down, chilling out, not thinking about anything.

Just... being. Just be with me, man.

(hold me bro)

we're going to drink our tea and we're going to LIKE it

[zangetsu]

（ he's also got a plate of assorted foods, and a mug of tea, and honestly he's doing pretty all right for himself. ichigo's not a festival guy, but he came because of the call for help — and with that matter settled, well. it'd be stupid to turn around and go back to the wasteland without getting a meal out of the trip.

when jonas asks about drinking ages, ichigo audibly snorts. ）

I don't think they're checking anyone for ID in the afterlife.

[wrists]

[ aspen is the easiest creature he's ever had to pick out of a crowd, more wings than stature, moonlit hair a stark glimmer in the night. every time laurent spots him, his mouth is full. it's clearly too late to tell him that nearly everything here will set his mind spinning, and this is the one moment he needs aspen with a clear head.

laurent considers leaving him. he doesn't want to be at the festival in the first place, the sights and the smells unpleasant, reeking of the debauchery and false happiness at the palace in arles. all that's missing are the pets draped in every lap to be seen, but with the uptick in affection floating in the air, there is no need. laurent hardly even trusts the water here.

but he finds his way to aspen's table, sitting down without asking and assessing the pathetic sight before him. ]

I need you to look at this map. [ he and D spent time and effort creating it, and will no doubt suffer consequences for it. ] How high can you fly?

the parade.

[wrists]

[ laurent would not have planned to attend if he'd known the potential consequences, but as it stands — there is a soft spot in him (that he will not admit to on pain of death) for children. the younger restless are clad in costume, not done up in gaudy gold paint and jewels like the young pets in the palace are, but colorful, innocent clothing to celebrate a joyful pastime. it seems out of place in a world such as stygia, but laurent watches the proceedings all the same, an inexplicable tightness in his chest. he thinks of nicaise. he thinks of himself. he can't imagine winding back the clock and feeling such careless joy over something so harmless.

when he takes a step to leave, he notices something is amiss. his boots are different. one glance down tells him that stygia is playing tricks once more, an overly tired tale by now. he is in the voluptuous body of a woman, and when he glances up, he sees himself in severe aristocratic dress, dark blue fabric with a hundred laces that look like they would take about an hour to undo. the laces line his spine, his arms, his high collar. lace peeks out from his wrists. his knee-high boots are polished. the only parts of him not covered by clothing are his hands and his face, and his highly identifiable blond hair trails around his shoulders, glimmering in the moonlight. laurent blinks, trying to reconcile the notion that he's staring at himself, his body clearly being borrowed by someone else.

the body he currently resides in has a very prominent chest. laurent stands very still. ]

I don't lie with women. It's distasteful for a royal. [ just to state this fact. ]

[terraria]

( he lifts his face out of his hands, blinking blearily at laurent at first and then snapping to near-clarity. )

Er... ( his gaze flickers just left of laurent before fixing back on his face. where aspen's tone and attitude was generally curt though not unkind towards the prince, his voice grew warmer and more earnest, open. ) I have never... n-never had a limit before. I imagine as high as the air lets me breathe.

I cannot promise I'll understand your map, but I will try.

[terraria]

( sanctuary.

that's a strange word. a loaded one, for aspen. he shivers a bit at a near-forgotten memory. )

No. I intend to go in as well. I simply need...

( actually. aspen looks at the man before him for a moment or two, assessing. )

... someone capable of fighting. I am more than capable with more forms of support than simply healing. If you would allow me along with you, I would appreciate it.

[terraria]

Curiousity killed the cat, you know. Human in your case.

( ... or is he human? he does waver a moment, before - )

You are human... right?

[wrists]

[ this is immediately suspicious and uncomfortable. aspen looks like a doe-eyed courtesan, flitting between his personalities as if he doesn't recognize who laurent is. laurent's gaze settles on the half-eaten cake as if it's poison. ]

I should go drown you in the lake. [ grudgingly, he slips the map from the inner pocket of his jacket and spreads it on the table, turning it toward aspen's bleary gaze. it's a sketch of the palace, only the outer areas — doors and windows marked, a general estimate of the height of the towers assessed in laurent's neat hand. he watches his face. ] I saw your back. Does that not hinder you?

[ he's never brought it up before this, but it seems important to clarify now. ]

[terraria]

Mmm, many people would be mad if you did.

( aspen makes a joke of laurent's icy claim, rolling off of his back like water on a duck. he has to blink a few times to look at the map clearly, and breathes a sigh of relief. )

Thank the gods it's Common...

( he turns his full attention to it, only idly responding - )

Why would it hinder me? It hasn't hindered you.

[damnpire]

[It is strange to him how many times he has had to tell people what he is; he is not irritated (aside from the random urge to be), but surprised.

Only because people on the Frontier understand. They know what he is already. A world without vampires and dhampirs… He could support a world like that.]

No. I’m a dhampir.

[heavenstorn]

[ The first strike came--and missed. There's a cool swipe of wind at his back, the blade missing by ilms, but he's made it unscathed. So far.

Cedrik thought Fukawa was a girl, but the way she's twisting about he can almost swear he's actually grabbed hold of an angry Namazu. Even with his strength it takes a dangerous amount of effort to keep from dropping her. ]

You must be still!

[ There's no time to calm her, there's barely time to be calm himself. The horseman's a skilled rider and has already turned to double back. He was really hoping the monster would just keep going.

Cedrik keeps his feet planted, letting the horseman get closer, close enough--only then, once it's too late for him to change course, does Cedrik act. He leaps away, twisting to keep his own body between Fukawa's and the blade. He'll take a strike if he must so long as she's safe.

Between the buildings is a narrow alley, too narrow for the rider to make it and maintain speed. Cedrik ignores all else and runs for it, still holding tight to Fukawa. ]

[terraria]

( his mouth opens in a silent "oh" and the tension he held dissipates entirely. where he held himself up, alert and always inquisitive, he lets himself relax and finally lie down. )

I admit, your kind are legends in my world, not reality.

Well. As far as I have experienced. The world is a strange place and I know better than to claim something I am unsure of.
