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!

I think the time has come to show Gilgamesh the Sephiroth battle, friend. It's too perfect.
chaoticwhimsy: (Staring into your soul.)

LUMINA (Unseelie) + a whole mess of chocobos. And monsters.

[personal profile] chaoticwhimsy 2015-10-01 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
WELL THEN. So Lumina has basically sat out the last two months of things (due to my hiatus whoops) but the disappearance of her 'sister' in the last few days and the appearance of the giant shard are finally going to get her off her butt. She likes this world, for all the hell it puts them through, and if this is the end she's going to throw everything she's got at it. (Thanks to Grell the motivational speaker...)

SO for first half of the month (1st through 14th), this means that when she shows up to the war like a cool kid, she's bringing a decently sized army of armored, well trained, giant magical birds. And a smaller army of magical monsters! Because you can't take it with you, right?

(OH and she has an owlbear locked in a cage that she got from Saber. It's completely not tame or trained and basically horribly dangerous but I could have her just release it at somebody if anyone wants to fight an owlbear. That could be fun!)

For the fighting itself, she's still Lumina so in spite of the serious nature of everything, she'll mostly be being more of a pest than actually attacking people (she will leave that to her chocobos and monsters and friends?) So if anyone wants to encounter an invisible girl who shatters their weapons or drops them in a tree or in front of a dragon or something, that can be arranged. And be hilarious.

For the 15th onward, she'll be making for the heart chamber, and her memories are going to be kind of a mess because this isn't the first end of the world for her. It's going to be a mix of the Thirteen Day (the last day) on Nova Crystallis and her memories here in the Drabworld. I am thinking probably narrated by that little inner voice she tries to hide from everyone all the time. Who wants some honest truths with a scared little girl?

ALSO she still has her shard, and is actually kind of a huge stranger to pain? So as things get worse and worse, there's a good chance she may collapse when she's getting near the chamber, and will need someone else to help her get there. But she is going to get there, because she refuses to stand by while she loses another world, damn it.

I think what would work best for this is if you do a prompt that's open to joining/teaming up (or I can), and then I can have Gil hop in on that and we can wing it from there. We've already done memory-sharing together so this should make for an easy segue.

LANCELOT (SEELIE)

[personal profile] knightscode 2015-10-01 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
LANCELOT DIED LAST MONTH OOPS

He will be resurrecting somewhere in the start of October and spend a lot of time repeatedly chasing Lauralae up and down the mountain trying to get her to give him his shard back.

No, he doesn't know where he went wrong with his life either.

If you want to ask him what the fuck he is doing, want his help, want to hinder him, or just want to laugh really hard LMK.

WAVER VELVET | SUA

[personal profile] gordianknots 2015-10-01 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
First of all PLEASE HELP ME OUT WITH THE END OF GAME RECAP!

Sua will be in Leathann for the month, and thus on the back burner, unless someone needs her.

Waver will be very involved in the last leg of things, as much as he can.
  • THE OWNER OF THE STARBUCKS IS GOING TO BE 15 MINUTES LATE WITH STARBUCKS. Waver'll be recovering from the shock of the ritual, as well as dealing with the injuries Rin suffered thanks to Kirei being the Actual Worst. Once Rin's seen to, he'll be showing up to the game with some flying bulls and a few friends!
  • Once at the gem, Waver will be trying to find a way into it, and will attack if provoked.
  • Waver is going to be going into the heart of the Gem as much as possible. If anyone wants to group up for memory sharing and exploring, this would be a lovely time to do so (especially the coffee house group!)
  • Willing to fight if and when approached.

    As far as fighting goes, Waver will be conveyed by Rider's flying bull chariot and will make use of that whenever he can. He also has gained water magic profiency during his time in the Drabwurld, and the there's VH. VH/a> can do a fair amount of damage, so if you do want a fight, let's talk! I fully intend to scale VH back since she can be stupidly overpowered.

    I'd love to have fun with the memory sharing, be it with positive or negative CR, and strip away the stupid amount of secrets that Waver's built up both at home and during his time in the Drabwurld.

    YES PLEASE ugh torture-sharing would lead to some. pretty painful memory experiences between the two of them.

    enjoy burning to death, Hermione

    (enjoy killing everyone you love, Hermione)

    This is the time to do the Kirei v Waver fight, but I want to know what your feelings are on it first/any way you want it to go.

    Memory share, y/y

    [personal profile] babbylon 2015-10-01 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
    So if a certain character were to, say, worm their way into a seat of power in government in the near future... that might be possible in the current state of things now, right? I'm only asking for a friend, obviously.

    I don't know if you'd be interested more in memory sharing or just fighting to get to the heart of the gem, but either way--!

    This is what happens Waver

    This is what happens when you stop giving Lancelot advice

    He ends up dying and then chasing a cannibal witch up and down a mountain

    His life has literally descended slowly deeper and deeper into farce and this is deepest depth of it now

    They should run into each other and fight inside the gem!! High stakes! Kirei would easily assume Dorian won't be trying to influence the gem in any good way and would go after him, though, yeah. (I'm also cool with fighting on the battlefield! Gods dropping in, woohoo)

    EDIT: Yeah, let's have them fight in the battle outside, to start! I want to set some threads there.

    What brand of nightmare fuel do you want... I sort of really want Kirei to show Dorian his family memories.

    ARIADNE & JOHN GRIMM

    [personal profile] boutant 2015-10-01 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
    ARIADNE will be totally in the battle to get inside! FIGHT HER BITCHES. She'll direct her forces to help clear a path for other Unseelie to get in/continue engaging the Seelie, and she's likely to cheat via shadow travel.

    JOHN will also be heading on in! Again with the cheating. He'll be on hand for mercy killing and for healing his bros.

    Both are available for some reality warping! Ariadne may seem oddly okay with it while John will be freaking out because his life is awful and everyone he knows dies all the time.

    Also I totally failed at getting Ariadne around in the first part of the battle (John was busy Red Hand-ing): hit me up if you would still like to do something there!

    I was wondering this too since Mer's gonna have three dropped shards :|a

    [personal profile] babbylon 2015-10-01 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
    Oh god, yes please. Especially memories of all that ancient kingship, as it might give Waver a bit more to chew on in the arena of "so what does it really mean to be a king anyway". I'd also love for Gil to see some more of future Fuyuki/the Grail disassembly/anything revolving around that stuff.

    waver just stands up
    walks downstairs
    goes and gets the booze
    walks back up
    and gives lance the entire bottle
    zerotohiro: (YES!)

    [personal profile] zerotohiro 2015-10-01 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
    Holy shit Rider's chariot. Dude yes. Absolutely 100% yes. I need to look at the new battlelog and talk to some people but I might top-level that and we can go from there?
    individualist: (10)

    LUCIFER mainly

    [personal profile] individualist 2015-10-01 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
    SURPRISE SHARDBEARERS BET YOU THOUGHT YOU'D SEEN THE LAST OF ME

    This is all culminating in a way smt tends to but generally speaking demons are usually forbidden from participating and deciding how things go. Since that's not the case here Lucifer will be fighting absolutely tooth and nail to get to the center. He's going to try and wish for things to go absolutely fucking crazy where everyone fights to survive on a daily basis and the environment is harsh and unforgiving but ultimately ~fair~ for everyone, where the weak are trampled underfoot and the strong dominate everything. If he's ever ic'ly preached his desire for true equality to you, well..........this is what he meant.

    Y...ay.

    MEMORY SHARING IS SOMETHING I'D LOVE TO GET IN ON TOO as a concept he is far, far older than 'Lucifer' as he is now so you pretty much have from the very beginning of creation far, far before any religion existed and over five generations of separate humanities till now worth of "what the fuck" to stumble through.

    Gawain is far too indecisive a person to have any real footing here but he'll mainly focus on protecting people if they need it. You might even be able to convince him to accompany you if your sales pitch is good enough. (Although it also depends on what Flora's up to........as always.)

    I WOULD LOVE TO DO A THING WITH LEO

    How's about battle things, possibly dodging blood granite and being like SHIT WHERE MY POWERS AT???
