rekindle_ooc | EVENT UPDATE #2: Trick and Treat

Hello once again, my little flames. How does your Halloween season fare so far? We have a few new updates for you, and I'm sure you will like at least one or two.

First of all, we would like to announce we have simplified AC requirements. We personally felt that attempting to achieve so many proofs within a month for a game our current size to be unfair for all players. Because of this, our new requirement is ten comments for network entries OR five comments for log entries from your character in total.

We'd also like to announce that the App This Plz Prep is up! Is there anyone you'd like to enable for a few cuddles? Feel free to list the characters you want to see there!

(We also encourage more memes being posted; we love silliness too, okay.)

With those out of the way, it's time for one final update!

Trick and Treat
October 16 - October 28

The paranormal activity is growing stronger as the days toward the festival progress, and as the sun sets on the 23rd, it reaches its peak.

The shadows become much clearer once the twilight sets in, many of which are only black silhouettes that for all purposes seem human... humans that are suffering greatly. They don't seem to be as fleeting, either - drawn to guests like a moth to a flame, reaching out their hands. Those with scanning, soul reading and telepathic capabilities will hear a cacophony of voices from them, as if many voices were crying out for their help...

However, there are more menacing things lurking in the midst of the Spirits. Demons also are attracted to the city's guests, and they look nearly identical to their formerly human counterparts aside from a mask they wear. These masks, however, are incomprehensible to the eyes of the beholder. At a distance, they will appear to be perplexing and likely attract those with weaker wills. Get too close, and you will feel a strong urge to look away and run. A good thing, too; when demons touch your character, they will be forced to recall unpleasant visions of their past.

In fact, try not to let spirits or demons touch you, because the spirits are all too willing to share their own pasts. The presence and touch of either of these can cause nightmares and lethargy, along with negative feelings and thought patterns in general. Characters will also feel the effects of lacking the required physical contact at an accelerated rate. One touch will double the speed, two will triple, and so on.

However, there are ways to counteract this: Remember the little lights that appeared before? They too are drawn to the guests, particularly those who are affected most strongly by their dark counterparts. Characters who come into contact with one of these will gain the ability to relieve the symptoms of those affected by spirits and demons. If they have already been affected, they will be cured upon being touched by Light, however they will not gain the ability to relieve the symptoms of other. They will also be more positive thinkers for a day or two!

The phantoms will disappear on the evening of October 28th.

We are including sign-ups below for those being affected by the demons and spirits as well as those who will be contacted by the Light. There is no sign up limitations as they are simply for keeping track and plotting purposes. Those chosen of Light, feel free to comment and plot with those otherwise affected! No one has to be alone in the darkness.

As always, this part of the event is optional.

America has been having a tough time lately leaving him open to being a demon victim. ;_;

~~I was already writing in PTSD problems for him any way so this was fitting.~~

Let's do it.

Luke getting to relive some of his traumatic Mayfield memories?! Sign me up!

Why not? Duo would probably investigate on his own if need be.

No, I mean he's REALLY BLOODY STUBBORN.

try and bring her down, I dare you

Ooh right here! And he so deserves it.

Pete's going to have a lot of contact with them as Spidey. And since for some reason nobody's had a network post to announce that they've become Bad Things In The City, I'll be tossing one up in a bit.

And he will definitely need all the hugs, because even after learning it's a Bad Idea to let them touch you, he's going to keep attacking them D|

A log of that may or may not get put up, depending on how much time I have after my shift. Right now I've just got time for the network post.

because Severa is definitely stubborn enough to try and fight them like they're Risen

There is no way this could end badly.
