EVENT INFO: ENTER MR. SANDMAN (DEFENDERS)

EVENT INFO: ENTER MR. SANDMAN
DEFENDERS
the basics
So the spirits decided to throw you a party; a feast, in fact. Cool! But then everyone who ate it suddenly collapsed, and now it's just you and a bunch of other confused (and probably still hungry) people with no idea what's happening. Are the feasters dead, or just unconscious? And what was in that food? Unfortunately, there's no time to stop and figure it out.
Almost immediately after the mass-fainting, a sharp rustling begins to echo from all around. Spirits, an army of them, creep purposefully out of the trees. And they aren't the friendly ones who made you all this dinner, either; instead it's those infamous green-eyed spirits, but more than just the one that plagued the last big feast in Beacon— (maybe you guys just shouldn't have parties? just saying)— this time there's more of them. A lot more.
Their exact intentions are unclear, but one thing's for sure: they do not come in peace. Over the next two weeks, these spirits will attack the town and everyone in it, using an arsenal of potent psychic abilities and the spirits' particularly unsettling flavor of physical violence. So grab that comatose body next to you and book it to the nearest safe space, or grab a weapon and get to fighting. It's time to defend the town!
the details
Starting on November 16th, the green-eyed spirits will launch an all-out assault on the citizens of Beacon. Their tactics will include not only their trademark induced hallucinations and general mind games, but physical violence as well. They seem to have recruited— or otherwise coerced— some of the forest's more dangerous inhabitants to their cause, and as a whole they will stop at nothing to accomplish their goal. Whatever that might be. Are they trying to kill you all? Just trying to scare you and going too far? Or is there something else sinister going on? Whatever the case may be, here are a few things you should know about the event itself:
- The attacking spirits will not be frightened away or otherwise diverted from their onslaught of their own free will. As a result, the attack will last the entire duration of the event. Get ready for the long haul, everybody!
- Characters may form groups to fight together (and, in practice, thread together against the spirits). These groups can consist of no more than 4 members, as any higher number would make threads unwieldy.
- Outside of the threads against spirits, characters are welcome to thread with those not in their chosen groups at their leisure.
- Characters can also go solo, naturally.
- Please report any formed groups in the appropriate place below. Your character won't have to spend every waking moment with these folks, but they will be fighting alongside them, so choose wisely!
- Mod responses (playing the attacking spirits) will come readily to threads that request it or that are obviously geared toward fighting the spirits, but beware: the attacking spirits may appear suddenly in any thread on the event log.
- Characters may alter the setting by building structures to better defend the town. Report any defenses constructed in the appropriate place below.
- Additional things to report include any property destruction, permanent injuries, or deaths.
- The reporting threads on this post will be used throughout the event! Anything not reported here will NOT count as game canon.
Additionally, players are welcome to use this post for OOC event plotting! In fact, please do, as not everyone in the game has access to each other's plurks! If you'd like, you can use the small form below to kickstart your plotting plans:

character(s): Jason Grace
plans: So far I am starting Jason with Cao Pi for initial attack and planning, but Jason is definitely going to be the kind to go out and help others stay safe, defend where there are weaknesses, and just generally run himself ragged doing all he can to make up for not having done more to prevent this ahead of time. Basically he'll want to coordinate with who he can and if he needs to swoop in to play hero he's all for that.
Anyway, that means he will probably group hop a bit. I would especially love to take this time to have Teenage Rampage Team -- so pretty much any character 20 and under XD. I want Jason to get to relive demigod "good ole days" of fighting for your life with nothing but teens/kids. I spoke to a few of you about this, so if you want to make that more official let me know here.
notes: I really don't PLAN on murdering Jason, but I'm down for him being witness to murders/death. Hit me up with ideas -- though I should probably keep his group hopping to just two or three, so I can keep it all straight in my head. Also as a heads up I will not be around November 23 due to road trip, but I plan on making any threads for this event my top priority!
