OCTOBER CALENDAR

The battle continues...


RECAP 2702: Please take a moment to fill out anything needed for the game recap by the wonderful Meg!


The Battle of the Gem
GENRE: ACTION/ADVENTURE | DURATION: 01-?? OCTOBER


SUMMARY The inferno of the war billows and grows as all forces fight to claim the Gem of Power. Knowing their own futures are at stake, now the battle is joined by greater beings. The Gods are here.

On the first day of the battle, characters will experience half-lit twilight. All the celestial forces will come down as manifest figures and will battle against each other. Day and night are gone and the world is aflame. The reason for this is obvious to all: the shards stolen by the Red Hand will reappear to reform the Uaine Cridhe as a great green mountain rising from the center of the Cathraon.

The monarchs will also reappear as unstoppable forces of cosmic power clashing through the sky. Rather than the monarchs releasing an edict, the shards of characters will themselves indicate the future course through a searing, insistent command: Seek the Heart. Choose our Fate.

The mountain will be covered in warring factions, and its power has attracted the hosts of remaining gods into the fray. Characters will have to battle their way into one of the many caves and paths into the gem, where battling forces will continue. Everyone will be seeking the Heart of the Gem.

THE SECOND BATTLE FOR THE UAINE CRIDHE: Those with the strength to battle and the will to change all fate know that the Uaine Cridhe can change the nature of all things, and that utilizing its power can change the shape, form, and fabric of the universe. Mortal men, gods, and stranger things all battle at its feet, fighting each other all the way up its steep, strange planes. As the avatars of gods are slain, the gods themselves fall in battle, spreading great stains of blood granite along the patchy earth and stone which the mountain tore up as it ascended to its heights, so that the powers of characters are often unreliable. Nothing is held back, and these are the moments of the greatest sacrifices.

INSIDE THE UAINE CRIDHE: Once a character has found their way within the gem, they will experience extended reality warping, not unlike chaotic dream-sharing, walking through their own memories (or those of others nearby). The nearer the heart of the gem one progresses the more literally painful the experience is for characters still retaining their shards, as the force of the mountain begins to pull the shard from them (much like one small magnet gravitating to a far larger one). Characters will need to travel into the heart of the gem and use their shard to resonate with the shard to will their choice. (Shardless/Natives: If a shardless/native can get a shard, they can also have an influence. Please contact the mods if your character is having a hard time getting access to a Shard!) Any character who does this will experience a feeling of absolute consciousness of all existence that will overwhelm them. We will put up an OOC post with the IC post to ensure everyone can contribute!


MONTHLY OVERVIEW
01st OCTOBER01) IC Mod Post. The shards stolen from the courts seek each other and reform the Uaine Cridhe as a great green mountain with twisting, labyrinthian passageways. Shards attached to the dwarven mechas also return to the gem. Sensing the great power, all the Gods join in the battle. The stars and moon fall to the earth to take form in the fight, leaving the world in a permanent half-lit twilight. 02) With the loss of their shard eyes, the dwarf war machines are now capable of being felled!
14th OCTOBERIC Mod Post. Characters will finally be able to break into the tunnels and will need to travel to the Heart of the Gem. A post will go up asking for links to your character reaching the heart of the gem and what they willed for it.
31th OCTOBER (0:01 GMT) • Post willing the fate of the world closes. • Characters get a fun surprise from reaching the centre of the gem! An IC post will go up revealing what happens to them there.
The next Calendar of Events post will go up to cover all of November! All characters in the game will be affected by the events of the battle on the gem. Details about the result of the plot and what else happens at the heart of the gem will be revealed then. New game information and plotting for what happens next will come out over the next month!

you make it sound so romantic like they're in love or something-

bUT YES. She's going with Dia, his girlfriend and his daughter and she'll be full blown fight mode, no hesitation, dangerous (perfect for you, Gil) and she will absolutely want him with her - mostly because she knows he wants the same things she does, Red-Handishly, and because he's strong. Even if she still hates him a little.

ALSO the choice that characters make inside, is it basically between Seelie death/rebirth and Unseelie STAYIN' ALIVE or is that another YOU JUST DON'T KNOW thing

dorian and rachel dreamstuff maybe? rachel's powers are going to funk things up a bit, i think! i haven't figured out exactly how yet, but if you're in the market for mind-whammies without completely ruining his brain, i'm down!!

Simon Monroe | Unseelie

[personal profile] wasteofbreath 2015-10-01 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Right, so, Simon will of course be trying to get to the Centre of the Gem when the time comes to do that. Prior to that I'm not entirely sure what he will be up to, though at the start of the month he's going to continue helping to get wounded Unseelie shardbearers off the battlefield before their shards can be taken, so if anyone wants in on that, hit me up, either to be wounded or to help fight off any Seelie, NPCs or otherwise. I'm going to post a top level to the September battle log now that Red Hand things are over, too, so things can still happen there as well.

He's also going to be dealing with the fact that he was at the main ritual site when the Red Hand did their thing. Memory sharing is gonna be fun, too, and I'll be getting in on that. I'm pretty much open to everything, so hit me up ^_^

MERIDA - SHARDLESS / TERRA - SEELIE

[personal profile] notyetlegend 2015-10-01 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
SO

4th means that MERIDA will be coming back from the dead and be shardless, but that won't be stopping her from seeing the Red Hand plan through, though she won't be joining in any battles as she's just recently been brought back. She'll be accompanying Diarmuid, Hermione and her family into the center of the gem, just try and fucking stop her. She'll have Angus and her pups. 15th onwards oh boy. Who wants to see her turn her mum into a bear and her brothers being adorable little shits?


TERRA will likely be taking his kids and hightailing it through the gem. After memory sharing and what the gem shows at the ritual site, he'll know about his future as Ansem/Xemnas :'D I HAVE NO IDEA OTHER THAN THAT SO HIT ME

"Shardless/Natives: If a shardless/native can get a shard, they can also have an influence."

Does possessing the shard of a dropped character count for this?
depicted: (and no one knows a thing)

[personal profile] depicted 2015-10-01 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
I feel like it might be fun to have a fight where Kirei and Dorian try to stop each other from going in/convince each other to make different kinds of wishes when they do, since they kinda probably have a sense by now that they have pretty opposite objectives?


THEN I WANT MY NIGHTMARE FUEL.

Lia de Beaumont | Seelie

[personal profile] psalmed 2015-10-01 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Lia still has very little idea what is going on but is invested in the idea that things die so they are reborn. See also the example of herself. Party lines are drawn but she's going to lightly toe them.

Lia has a sword, and her magic that can either heal people or make parts of them explode. Or break. I'd love for her to actually get into more of a scrap than normal. Reality warping, maybe you want to see zombies? Pr-Revolutionary France and Robespierre when he was young and attractive? But otherwise I'd love for her to go hopping into other people's minds and ideas to see the future and that other people have it way worse than she did.

So bring things! Fights, healings, or letting Lia explore all the mindtrips. It's the only vacation they get right?

shamanism: (★ i've been waiting for so long)

THRALL

[personal profile] shamanism 2015-10-01 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Thrall is going to be helping Red Hand members get to the Heart, which means his priority is protecting shardbearers from each other, destroying mechas, etc. He can protect people with earth/his huge bulk and heal, so his talents there might be in some demand. I doubt he will turn anyone away. He's of the opinion that the Drabwurld is a lost cause with nearly everything dead, so he'll be looking for that elusive third option when he makes his way into the Heart later on.

Basically he won't be starting fights with other PCs, but you are totally free to shoot at him purely because he's Unseelie.

I'm also down for memory sharing. Thrall's memories contain scantily-clad monster ladies, epic LOTR-scale battles, slavery, and torture. If this sounds like your jam let me know. I can always cherry-pick memories to avoid sensitive things too.
chaoticwhimsy: (It's me Lumina!)

[personal profile] chaoticwhimsy 2015-10-01 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Lumina had a quest reward that said she could call on the Jabberwock for aid that she hasn't used yet. Would he honor that during the war? If she called him once the shard pain started to overwhelm her and get her to the heart chamber, would he come?

Assuming he's still alive then.
zerotohiro: ([armor] Do your thing)

Hiro | Unseelie

[personal profile] zerotohiro 2015-10-01 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Well this is fun.

For the first part of the the month, Hiro's going to be…mostly really pissed off about the way things are going and screw you guys who try to stop him from making a wish. He's also just a ball of rage so he'll be looking to go out and take down the mechs and fight his way into the heart, more or less. Since he was pulled from the battle at the end of September, he and Clarke have the midach stations taken care of so he'll be more inclined to combat and on-field healing! He wants to change things and he wants to make sure his wish is heard and at this point there's pretty much nothing stopping him from going for it.

Second part once he's inside Uaine Cridhe, totally here for memory-sharing everything! His or your characters, everything's totally fine. I wish I had something more intelligent to say but I don't but I want to use this chance to thread all sorts of crazy stuff, so let's do it!
knightscode: Morgana does what? (♠51)

[personal profile] knightscode 2015-10-01 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
STOP THAT WOMAN SHE HAS HIS SHARD! ALSO, SHE ATE A BIT OF HIM!

Long line of people running after lauralae, including a dragon, up and down the mountain repeatedly

RACHEL DARE & OCTAVIA BLAKE

[personal profile] truesight 2015-10-01 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
RACHEL DARE ( seelie ) is not a fighter, but she's an Oracle, so she's got some experience with this whole crazy dream-sharing/visions shit. I imagine she's going to try and get close to/stick around close to the gem because she'll be trying to help people, uh, not go crazy. I'm also thinking her powers will sort of act more as a soundboard than anything else when she's really focusing, so it might just amplify people's memories? instead of just sharing them. ehh. I'm still trying to figure i out! I'm up for anything, pretty much. but otherwise if you want to see some crazy Greek history in the form of quest visions that the Spirit of Delphi locked her in head, then I'm up for that too! Basically, if you want really weird/intense dreams, or if your character might need help in NOT losing their minds during all this mind-whammy business, then Rachel is your girl!! so if I'm reading this right, her stuff won't come into play until around the 14th, just cause it's all gem-related.

OCTAVIA BLAKE ( unseelie ) is going to be fighting. a lot. lots of fighting. so much fighting. following the voice in her chestgut and doing whatever she has to to get to the gem. basically if your character needs a fighter to help them get to the gem, or if you're in the mood for general mind-bendy funtimes along the way, hit me up! she'll be good for plotty things all month, basically.

Hiya, mods! Only semi-relevant to this battle, but would it be possible to get a current State of the Leathann for future reference? I'm not quite sure what the island looks like post-rescue, if there's general chaos or if the government's reforming, how its infrastructure is fairing, architectural integrity, refugee status, what direction it's moving in towards the mainland, etc.

This may very well no longer apply anyway as we go into November, but for October I just wanted a general point of reference as to what's going on there. Thanks!

Dooooes Katsa feel like crossing paths with an exile queen and three dragons, getting around the gem? Her own memories are pretty awful, but she does have one very good one that involved only ONE murder. :)

this is later immortalized in a drabwurld puppet show, and the minstral is the one playing the benny hill song as appropriate

hi, so. these two.
zerotohiro: (Welp.)

[personal profile] zerotohiro 2015-10-01 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
gently reaches for

Would Waver like a very pissed-off Hiro or a Hiro for memory-sharing shenanigans? Both could be fantastic and I'm just like there is potential everywhere.
