EVENT INFO: WILD HEART


EVENT INFO: WILD HEART


the basics

Part I

On March 20, the green-eyed spirits attack! Characters will be taken at random out to a location in East Beacon, where the spirits have a few surprises planned for them. Meanwhile, the rest of the town bands together to rescue them, aided by the Wild Hunt, a faction who's finally decided to officially reveal themselves.

Part II

The Wild Hunt is here! For the next few days, they'll be helping out around town in a variety of ways, from field medicine to general lessons on how to survive when one finds themselves in a small community. Their leader also has a few pieces of advice to offer . . .


the details

Part I: March 20-22

On March 20, characters will be kidnapped! These characters will be taken to the medical center and spend three days being experimented upon by the green-eyed spirits for purposes unknown. There seems to be some kind of reasoning behind it, though, and characters will have plenty of time to discuss their theories between experiments.

Luckily, on March 21, someone is here to help! The mysterious faction a few people encountered last month are finally here in the open. The Wild Hunt are a large group of reset survivors from days past who now live out in the mines. Though they normally keep to themselves, they're eager to help now, spurred on by both their leader and the large-scale efforts of the spirits.

The Hunt has numbers on their side, as well as tactics and information, and will eagerly help the characters enact a successful rescue plan. By March 22, they'll lead characters to the medical center over in East Beacon, helping them storm the place and rescue their friends.

  • Much like our Sandman event, characters can be part of one of two roles: either kidnapped or rescuer.

  • Kidnapped characters can expect a great of pain and torture: they'll be subjected to nearly three full days of experiments. These experiments will be player-run, meaning you guys can play them out as you see fit! Experiments will include things like blood and gore, being force-fed certain unpleasant things, or being subjected to hallucinations. Players are free to pick and choose what they'd like to play with.

  • More information about where the kidnapped characters will be taken will be revealed when the event log goes up. We'll be doing a location discovery post after the event.

  • Kidnapped characters will be held together and have plenty of "downtime", so to speak, in order to thread out interactions. Although kidnapped characters and rescuers will obviously be separated, there's no need for a limitation on who can thread with whom.

  • Rescuer characters, on the other hand, get to play hero! Working with the Wild Hunt, they'll spend half a day learning how to successfully mount an attack before storming the medical center. They'll be trained in short-term tactics and armed, so they'll have everything they need in order to fight well.

  • Rescuers' success is an inevitability. How nice! Aided by the Wild Hunt, the town absolutely gets their kidnapped friends back. That said, it takes them three days to do so. We'll be giving you guys prompts that take place over the first part of the event to give you a rough sense of time scale.

  • Please sign up below for whichever role you'd like by Wednesday, March 18, at 11:59 PM EST! Kidnapped characters must sign up or will default to rescuer, but we'd also like a headcount of active participants on the rescuing side!


Part II: March 23-26

The Wild Hunt is sticking around! For a bit, anyway. For the next four days, they'll be helping players out on any number of handy projects. They're friendly, if not a little rough and tumble, but they seem to have a particular message they want to pass on to the Beaconites while they help them out. In addition, their leader will be around, ready to both answer any questions and discuss a few things with characters.

  • The Wild Hunt will be explained more fully in the event log, but OOCly, this is not your only chance to interact with them! They'll be around in the mines after the event, able to be contacted.

  • Much like the Night Market, the Wild Hunt's general interactions can be handwaved! They offer a great deal of practical help, and are willing to pitch in and teach skills for the greater good.

  • A lot of their lore and backstory will be revealed in the event log, so stay tuned!

  • We will be putting up two separate logs for parts I and II. That said, characters are free to interact regardless of part and role, given how short the kidnapping is.

•••

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:

THIS IS NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND but lord imagine if Jason let Sora have his way... Disaster zone. Yeah, totally open to Jason yelling at Sora! Maybe they can have a fight!! Like, a yelling fight, not a tussle (although if it comes to a tussle i'm 100% down). .... I love fights owo

good thing sora is a weenie and probably can't beat jason in a fight if it comes down to he's gonna be in a bad way throughout!!! just get him in his emotions man, it'll be okay

NO..... SORA'S COMIN FOR U WEIRD UNCLE MAES....

Yeah, realistically, as funny as YEET INTO THE WOODS would be...Jason is a little more practical than that |D

We can just see where the conversation goes -- it always seems like we set out to do one thing and then Jason and/or Sora take it in a completely different direction. I'll be curious to see how it plays out!

Naminé is definitely gonna ask Sora if he can help her be stronger after all this. Obviously we can do stuff during the event too lol but I feel like an aftermath like thread would be interesting since I know how much Sora wants to protect her. It'd be a fun contrast to their other threads I think. And since she's missing stuff with Skyler they can also talk about that some then too if you wanted. I am really up to anything that you are interested in without totally over loading you since I can sometimes get slow >.

Naminé will curl up with Soldat and tell him that it'll be okay because Sora will come and help them. :)

I'd love another thread with Naminé and Masaomi if you're up for it! She is also going to be kidnapped.

I already said stuff on plurk but I'm going to wiggle here because I am so excited for Naminé to meet Fjord :)

Haha, I was actually typing up a reply to your plot comment when I got this in my inbox! So!

Masaomi the lap pillow. Y/N?

He is. Not. Okay. with seeing girls injured. There's no way he could leave her to curl into herself alone.

You bet! Stone is a good helpful dude. I imagine if anyone else wants in on rescuing him too they can team up with him - I think from talking to Danielle earlier at the start of the month, Mary was going to be somehow involved in the rescue also but I'll check with her. Mostly because the idea of Mary being involved in rescuing Rosi is just too funny in my head.

And now I'm picturing her like, full warrior queen riding a dragon into battle, so uh. Good. Anyway yeah definitely great to have Stone come help.

Here's to torture bonding!

Ah yes delirious plotting and theorizing in between bouts of torture. Good! Perfect! I'm sure they'll make lots of progress hahaha. He'll absolutely do his best to look after Maes even while kidnapped because that's the sort of person he is.

I think his instinct would be to protect the small waifish child. She doesn't look like she can protect herself.

Not that he's in any better position than her but IT'S THE THOUGHT

Lemme know as soon as you know what state Vanitas is gonna be in for this delightful nightmare. Masaomi's reaction will change a lot depending. He can only be so mean, even when he tries. Wanting to SAVE ALL THE PEOPLE makes it hard to kick your enemy while he's genuinely down.

\o/ I preempted you! lol.

Yes to lap pillow! Naminé will likely be more physically hurt than other forms of torture because that plays well to possible character development. Despite that, she'll likely smile for Masaomi and tell him that it'll be okay. I think having him comfort her tho will go a long way to making her feel better and feel like she can be strong.

[personal profile] really_sketchy 2020-03-17 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
This is very true and it'd be cute to see how they interact because she'd totally be that person who smiles at him while partly bleeding and tell him that it'll be okay. lol.

player: king [plurk.com profile] scrubdaddy
character(s): Vanyeetus
plans: Vanitas will be kidnapped and probably going to get a heavy handed dose of physical torture with a side of mental anguish to lean in to the fact that his negative feelings make Unversed 0w0 i already have plans for his rescue, so that angle is all tied up.

he will, most likely, be gritting his teeth and bearing it because he's remarkably used to getting his ass kicked. his take on it will be 'suck it up. pain will only make you stronger.' and i think it'd be fun for him to inadvertently boost morale with this narrative instead of it being his usual shtick of 'make everyone feel as bad as possible'

if anyone that is also kidnapped is interested in getting something out of vanitas that isn't just his regular dickishness, this is a good opportunity for that. after he's rescued he'll mostly be mia because he'll retreat to lick his wounds in private

notes: permissions post here. you can opt out of interaction with vanitas if physical abuse/child abuse is a hard trigger for you because this event will bring up his past wherein his guardian figure was "training" him to be a killer

hahhaha boy howdy do they get out of hand huh. HM.

Jason, you're a champ, god bless u, the day Sora pries those confidence issues out of him is the day he's gonna look back at this like? Bad at things how? Bad at things how???

Excellent! He will do everything he can to make her more comfortable, but if he cries while he's doing it, just pretend she didn't see it. <<

[personal profile] evulsed 2020-03-17 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
vanitas is going for heavy physical abuse with a side of mental anguish (which may or may not be hallucinations i haven't decided yet) so he'll be mc-hecked up... but he's going to be reacting the very opposite way as masaomi because that kind of physical torture is something he's sorta kinda used to. his take is "pain makes you stronger" but he WILL be extremely tired so his bark and his bite will be severely toned down
really_sketchy: Kingdom Hearts 3 (Default)

[personal profile] really_sketchy 2020-03-17 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
awww. She'll just wipe away his tears on her dress and smile and tell him it's okay. And then she'll pretend he didn't cry if he asked lol.

YES!! Well, I'm very enthusiastic about this, Sora is going to be... less so! And will probably have to talk about this with Riku... but if it's truly what she wants, then he'd be down! (Finally... Naminé gets to punch,... my dreams.....)

I'd love to do an aftermath thread with you too! I think adding another thread to the pile should be okay now that we've trimmed back to juuuust the memory loading thread I think?? Let's get her GOING!!

HAHA This would be a way for her to get to talk about Him wouldn't it? I think that's fine! I don't really have a timetable for Skyler related things other than stuff he personally has going on, so whatever happens with him happens! 8^)b It's all good, my dude, I'd be happy to go in any direction here! If she wants to learn more, I'd be happy to facilitate that!

[personal profile] really_sketchy 2020-03-17 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Hhahaha. Her punching anything is the most adorable mental image EVER! I love it.

And yeah we have trimmed back a lot. I hope to get faster since my older brothers wedding has been postponed so I'll be less stressed about freaking out about that and other RL stuff. So hopefully I'll be more on point with things too!

She definitely wants to know more about him. I have thought about maybe her having nightmares too and going over to talk to him. I feel like after this she'll have nightmares a lot and Sora is one of the few people she knows well who she's become friends with, so she'd likely bug him first... sorry Sora. This is what happens when you make friends with a lonely lady lol. that was fun alteration.

But yeah. I definitely like all these plans. Also Namine trying to reach out to him but she won't be able to rely anything useful... he'll just see her all beat up >.> which might make things worse.

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2020-03-17 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Oooh, okay. This could be interesting. Van might be the only one Masaomi would actually admit he's hallucinating Saki to, since Van knows the context.

Now that I think about it, knowing what Vanitas has been through after seeing that memory also means Masaomi wouldn't. Walk away from him. No matter what Van does have the energy say. I foresee a lot of toothless snark that doesn't match up with their actions at all.

What do you think?
