RUH ROH

WHO: Everyone
WHERE: The Pasture
WHEN: Day 51, Morning

[GOOOOOD MORNING. It's still a bit chilly out, despite it being sunny, and there's still flurries here and there. All fairly normal and pleasant. Maybe you're out stretching, or collecting the morning milk delivery, or tending to your gardens and sheep. All is peaceful and quiet in the serene pasture.

Until, from the mist, something zips out. An arrow of sorts. It shoots through the air at lightning speed, its target suddenly obvious as it strikes a large landmark in the center of town--the eye of the fountain.

If you weren't awake already, the sudden painful howl from death might do the trick.

Its wail doesn't last, but the eye IS open now. . .by force? The eye seems to be being held open by strange, smokey claws. They are semi tangible, but probably you don't want to touch them.

But wait, that's not all! The ground rumbles a bit before settling? A minor quake? Who knows. But more importantly, in both the pasture within the fence and the meadow, strange mushrooms begin to pop up. Occasionally they shoot out pollen and spores, and drift through the air. They can be picked, but after a few hours, two seem to grow back in their place, so be careful with that.

DANG WONDER WHAT ALL IS GOING ON--oh hey there's Blossom? She's carrying a small basket of biscuits in her mouth along with. . .Bluebell's Shepherd Staff? wuh oh.]


Every~thing is gonna be okay~

. . .

[stares at the mushroom and the eye and]

WHAT IS HAPPENING???



[NOTES:
MUSHROOMS
If you get hit by by the spores, one of three effects are available:
-Level 1, minor effect - No outward effects but plagued with horrible, realistic nightmares to the point of preferring to try to stay awake
-Level 2, Fear Hallucinations; you suddenly see hallucinations of things you fear
-Level 3, Intense feelings of hatred for any particular person suddenly come to the surface/take over, making you prone to violence

Additionally If anyone eats, licks, or otherwise deliberately excessively inhales mushroom spores, let me know *immediately* as it will trigger something unskippable for you. ETA N/M THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS LMAO

Note that these can be avoided by just saying whoops ur character didn't get close to one golly. These effects can lessen over time at your convenience but won't disappear completely until you cure them--how? That's up to yall! MAKE UP A FEAR ANTIDOTE. Ping me if your character tries something and I will yay or nay it.

There is ALSO a source of the mushrooms, but to find it, Stuff will need to happen.

THE EYE
If you try to touch the creepy mist hands, you will instantly pass out unconscious, feel zapped, or feel your heart skip a beat. Don't push your luck for now, but they CAN be removed. How again? Characters will have to make up a way ICly; though in this case a solution won't be approved til oocly after the 15th.

M-My apologies, Scarab-san.... it is not your presence I am adverse to at all.... simply that barbaric woman doing as she pleases once more....

[ composing herself but definitely :knife: thoughts at pandora ]

I see.... thank you for the information, and for your hard work. Are the three of you alright? Is there some way I can help?

[ Nods curtly ]

She did not escape the encounter without injury. I was successful in melting a portion of her face.

[ Near monotone except for a thread of smug pride ]

Caesura escaped the factory without incident. Ananke inhaled a nightmare fume while in the factory and experienced approximately 24 hours of excessive fatigue prior to our encounter with Pandora. No other incidents of concern to report.

I am glad to hear both of those things..... [ she too wants to melt pandora's face ]

Thank you for taking care of them, Scarab-san.... do you know anything about how we may restore Ananke-kun...?

[ noooo ]

Perhaps.... Blossom or Red...? If those avenues haven't been explored already.

Perhaps. However: We are both reluctant to draw their attention away from the current crisis. If our condition remains unresolved after the crisis is managed, then we will seek them out.

I understand. Very well... but if there is any way for me to help once we have dealt with this attack... please, let me know.

We must find a way to remove those claws from the eye....
spinebuddyandme: (Listening)

[personal profile] spinebuddyandme 2024-01-20 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
I will keep you informed.

[ It's hard to pick up, but there's a faint tone of gratitude in his voice ]

As to the claws: Correct. They remain a significant priority. I have remained focused on the mushrooms, but I observed some individuals attempting to weaken the claws with sunflowers.
