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!

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.

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.
