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!

DORIAN GRAY

[personal profile] depicted 2015-10-01 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
SO—

Dorian will be getting into the fight hardcore now. He is gonna be LISTENING TO THE CRAZY VOICE IN HIS CHEST and GETTING TO THE CENTRE OF THAT GEM to wish for that greatest of wishes, a world where everyone worships him and has fabulous sex with him all the time. Or, like... something where the cycle can continue in a way that doesn't ruin entire worlds in their primes, maybe. Whatever. He'll decide when he gets there.

So. 1st-14th he will definitely be battling to get inside. He will cut down ANYONE AND ANYTHING THAT GETS IN HIS WAY. HE HAS A WISH TO MAKE AND HE IS GONNA MAKE IT. He will call in the full forces of all of his animal buds, so expect giant wolves, varren, assorted dangerous horses, and others to participate in this rockin' attack.

15th onward DREAMSHARING MINDTRIP SHENANIGANS. Please. Oh my god. This is my favourite thing. Dorian will be bringing 100+ years of perfect memories blending disturbingly together to the table, with everything from rocking orgies to cannibalism to orgy cannibalism AND I WANT ALL YOUR CHARACTER'S WACKY MEMORIES. I am also 100% totally down for glorious fighting in the memories, please and thank you.

ALSO: he may have an extra shard for a Shardless/native to use to wish. I need to double-check if that will be true.

Okies, cool, so how does all this effect people who have activated their shards and are using them in battle or for other things? If there's any negative or positive effects, will the people who were at the main Red Hand ritual site feel them more or the same as everyone else?

HERMIONE GRANGER, LAURALAE, ERIK LEHNSHERR

[personal profile] brainiest 2015-10-01 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Now that HERMIONE has taken part in the Red Hand, she will stop at nothing to get to the centre of the Gem to the Heart. She wants to go, to make her voice known and do whatever she can. If anyone tries to stop her they will be stopped from doing it with magic or bubbles and she'll fight her way to the heart - possibly with Diarmuid at her side and anyone else that wants to go with her. She'll be a lioness, she'll have her dog, she'll have her Saber Cat, she'll be prepared. This is what she's been fighting for and she's going to go for it.

Once there, I am super in for any kind of dream sharing! Memories, hers or yours, anything! Just let me know and we can figure it out.

LAURALAE might be coming into contact with a shard for herself but her main focus will be on the Shuck and making sure that he is safe in the midst of the Godswar. She's known it's coming for a long time (the Aellyn calendars predicted it, so to speak) so she knows it's been inevitable for a while; but her connection with the Shuck is brand new. If anyone from her CR wants her to use her (possible) shard to help them with one particular sway, this is the best time to ask! She's going to be a bit weak from her part in the Ritual, but she's determined. She'll also possibly do dream share and memory sharing, of course, and her life hasn't been the best - cw: cannibalism, death, murder, poison, curses, etc.

(If anyone goes for the Shuck, even for a second, she will kill them. No questions asked, no hesitation.)

ERIK will be fighting the giant metal monsters now that they're weaker... After that, I don't have any real plans. I think his marriage might be postponed a little in the wake of this, but otherwise - he's fair game. If anyone wants him, feel free to ask!

Inquisitor Lavellan + Ciri

[personal profile] arla 2015-10-01 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Lavellan is going to launch herself into the battle head-first now. While her goal is to reach the gem, much like anyone else, she won't be going out of her way to kill people to get to it. She will, however, be on protection/defensive/healing for anyone who needs it, and she is going to give it all she's got to get to the center of it. Right now, her wish is to restore the worlds that have fallen and to preserve the worlds that exist, continuing them in a cycle that will not result in their destruction and violence. (She will, also, be pining for a cycle that is not repeated; her people have died and become slaves by their own hands, and she refuses to let that happen again and again and again.)

THAT BEING SAID. 1st - 10th will be primarily fighting/healing with 11th - 14th being a true and honest push to get in there. 15th and onward will be all about dreamsharing/memorysharing and BOY WILL IT BE AWFUL. Lavellan has the ~mental fortitude~ (wtf solas) to slip into other people's dreams (accidentally) within the confines of her own world so while this won't be super new, it'll still be awful and wonderful LET'S DO THIS THING.


Ciri will be doing much of the same thing with the exception of wishing for her world's safety from the White Frost and for the worlds to be fixed that have fallen to ruin because of the Wild Hunt. She, too, will be fighting but won't hold back; she'll cut down whomever she has to in order to get to the gem. DREAM/MEMORYSHARING STUFF IS STILL A GO and I'd be really interested in tossing her at people and getting her involved in looking into people's stuff.

As Ciri can teleport, she can help people get close to the gem eventually, probably around the 9th/10th once she's made it there herself. She cannot help them get inside the gem, but she can help them get close. If anyone needs assistance, let me know for her.

[personal profile] fuga 2015-10-01 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
If our character has a particular interest or alignment with a God (Lauralae for the Shuck, for example) would they be able to go and find them to help them? If the Shuck is taking part in the battle at all, of course!

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2015-10-01 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
OKAY so leo's gonna be tripping over seeing so many possibilities during the Red Hand's activation ritual BUT AFTER THAT - targeting the machines! his first goal will be to free kaio from their grasp. he probably won't stay long enough to fight all the machines, but if the firepup is free, that's acceptable.

AFTER THAT (i'm gonna say 7-14?) he's going to haul over to the tunnels and fight his way to the gem. once there, i'm all for dreamsharing stuff! it'll mostly be memories from this kid, and those possible futures the shards showed them!

katsa » unseelie

[personal profile] survivra 2015-10-01 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
As I'm on hiatus until about the end of the first week of October, Katsa is going to be spending the 1st-7th on the fringes of the battle and lending her efforts to making sure as many natives are safe and protected as possible! She's particularly attached to a little girl in Azure, but she'll be popping around all over. It's what she's been up to for a lot of September as well, so if anyone wants to backdate anything along those lines, I'l be happy to provide.

From the 7th-14th I'm back and she'll have her second wind and join the battle to get to the gem! Because screw destinies that you don't choose yourself, man. Katsa will be trundling along with her Grace, her shard, her cleg, and even her warturtle so hell yeah

Finally, from the 15th and on it's time to travel inside the gem! I'm very much open to her experiencing reality warping and memory sharing—she's not going to handle it well but will keep on trucking. She will also probably be sending out some memories of violence and murder and abuse and maybe one or two good ones so that's what she has to offer, but let's meet up and share and fight and reunite??

At the end she's asking not to let a bunch of worlds die buuut maybe with one or two addendum. We'll see when we get there.

gilgamesh | shardless

[personal profile] babbylon 2015-10-01 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Gilgamesh, although Shardless, recently claimed Aslan's shard and so will be using it throughout the course of the battle.

Gilgamesh will be fighting hard to make it to the center of the gem as he really, really does not want to die again! His wishes will involve the formation of a rejuvenated world without the Void's presence that brings about new life, per Aslan's final request. His memories will mostly center around Uruk, as well as his pal Enkidu, so if you ever wanted to travel back to ancient Mesopotamia, now's the time!

Admittedly, I'm looking to focus less here on the battles (though I'm still cool with threading some out) and more on the memory-sharing aspect. I'm open to a bunch of things in that regard and I'd love to "blend" memories together with some discussion! Adventuring together would also be great.

JFDKJGDFH YES PERFECT i have no idea what might happen with lae re: the shuck and his fighting and her having a shard but i can tell you asap c:
knightscode: AND MORE CONFUSED (♠17)

[personal profile] knightscode 2015-10-01 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Obscure question but: if more than one person uses a shard to try and enforce their will upon the gem will it still... COUNT? WILL IT BE A BATTLE OF WILLS UNDOING/REDOING THE WILL?

Context: I was thinking of Lance revives in time for this he could Benny Hill chase Lae around the mountain and get his own shard back long enough to enforce his will with it, but Lae will probably use it too.

KENNY

[personal profile] enervated 2015-10-01 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
For the most part, Kenny doesn't give a shit about the conflict or seelie/unseelie lines. But he'll be skulking about Cathraon for the duration of this, and will not hesitate to defend himself if attacked.

Through the 1st - 14th he'll basically be doing just that. Anyone who has his friendship can count on him to back them in a fight if they need it or want it! Anyone that wants to fight with him can go right ahead. Or if you don't want to fight and just want to yell insults, that's okay too. But he will, however, at the nagging insistence of his gem finally make his way into the stupid green mountain that everyone is fighting over. Maybe this is a chance to finally go home and get back to his kids. He's not letting that opportunity pass by.

15th - onward will be a good time if you enjoy zombie apocalypses and senseless deaths and emotional trauma because that is all Kenny has to offer. Sure, there's some good memories there before all that happened, but who cares. Well. Some characters might since he hasn't exactly been up to discussing his past ANYWAY if you wanna fuck around with memories and shit I am so down with that.

ok i think that is all i have to say unless i think of more later
