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
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!01st OCTOBER • 01) 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 OCTOBER • IC 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.
Hiro | Unseelie
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!

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.

We could actually have a lot of fun with this...:|a
SO I think he'll be back in battle toward the beginning of October. He took a few days off to recoup but he'll be angered and raring to go and jump right in on the first again so I can probably set something up for around that first week of October? What says you?
no subject
Hm. Waver is actually showing up late with Starbucks because Rin had to deal with some really bad injuries (thank u kirei), so their estimated time of arrival is about 7 October or so. Is that all right?
no subject
Yeah I actually just saw you posted a log but that totally works out just fine! He might be plucked off the field in the first part of October but he's Hiro, he'll sneak back out. So that actually works very well. I can write a general starter and have him out and you can tag into it at your leisure? (Most likely tomorrow or Friday, just to make sure I have all of my plot-ducks in a row :) )

HAZEL OKAY so Mer's coming back on the fourth. I'm not sure what you and Ash want to work out re: Merida talking to Clarke since I know Clarke and Grell are doing something toward the beginning of the month but he is 100% going to want to give Merida her shard back. He's going to be roaming the battlefield trying to take down mechs and I think it's actually a funny idea for her to just pick him up and drag his stupid butt home
though he might dart back out while she's distracted but shhIf not we can have them rendezvous somewhere else since she's shardless and iirc you're keeping her mostly out of the battle? What are your thoughts?
no subject
I guess it depends on how soon Clarke talks to Grell but yes she'll be keeping out of battle and behind the lines as a medic with Dia's chocobo. tho she will swoop in as soon as she sees him out there and drag him back there with her to behind Unseelie lines since she can cross territories no problem now. SO IT CAN GO EITHER WAY I guess
no subject
CLARKE I think is talking to Grell like the VERY first part of October, like before Merida's even back to life? At which point Hiro will be comfortable enough to leave Clarke for a bit to go fight and he'll be out and about. He should, in theory, stay behind the lines as the Unseelie midach but nah, beat up things to rage instead. That could totally work, let me crosscheck with Ash what she thinks about that and see if we want to work it so he brings her to Clarke or we just do our own thing. Either way is fine with me, I'm just really excited for him to see her again hahaha.
no subject
Mer comes back on the 4th so yeah, and she'll be lecturing him about fighting when he's angry
like she's never done that before. I'm super excited for it too, especially since I failed hard during banshee stuff ;;no subject
no subject
Anna I want them to maybe team up in battle somehow, how would you feel about that? If not that then at least some stuff inside the gem? Hiro's going to be out and about and I have plans for him to do stuff in like the second week of October battle-wise that we can slot stuff in? HE ALSO NEEDS TO APOLOGIZE TO HER AT SOME POINT, HE PROBABLY STILL FEELS LIKE A DICK FOR THEIR LAST TALK.

AWESOME. If we want battle stuff, I posted a top-level here that we can use or we can figure out mem-sharing when the second part of the event goes up c: Your choice entirely but we're making it happen!

Xion's gonna be in pretty emphatic denial about Lightning being gone for the first week of the month at least, aided by the general chaos of the battle itself. I'm not sure when or how she's gonna find out yet though my potential ideas keep getting overturned for some reason or another. When it hits though... it really depends on when and how and what else is going on but it's probably gonna be messy.
I'M SORRY I know this is all not very definite but I just... have so little in the way of definite anything right now.
no subject
WRT Lightning Hiro's speaking to Lumina, not sure if she'll know Lightning's gone or tell Hiro but that might be an option if nothing else works out? He's busy juggling Jason's disappearance so hearing Lightning's gone too won't settle well for him either.
Let's talk some more tomorrowish or so and see what we can come up with! I might have a better idea of stuff, too, after some of my other threads move a little more.
