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.

character(s): Sora
plans: He's a rescuer! Definitely one of those shitheads who will go charging into the darkness on his own. There's no need to actually stop him since he's got one of his minders on that (thanks Misty), but I'm open to interaction on that front.
Once he can get some sense knocked into him he'll probably try to reach out to closer/distant CR to see who's still around and and check in to keep himself busy. He wants to be very very busy!
His lantern will briefly turn grande green for the first part of the event, so his other will be available to speak to! More details on Skyler are on Sora's cr meme post, but if necessary, here's an opt out post. I don't see myself tagging out with him too much, but if I do, I'll definitely give a heads up if I feel like it's necessary!
Regular flavor Sora is available to talk and for cool-down human interaction after the event as well!
notes: my dudes, all is well

and fyi Maes is getting kidnappedno subject
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....no subject
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!
no subject
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???

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!
no subject
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.
no subject
omg bab ;; yeah she's free to come over! Although I'm wondering logistics HM.... i dunno if sora would necessarily give her a room key but i can see him being so worried about her after The Thing that he'd leave his front door open for her in case she wanted to drop in? it's not... terribly smart... but sora has never made a good decision in his life okay
NAMINÉ.... babe, that will absolutely make things worse, but the little hope that she's still alive? might be worth it??? h
no subject
As for room stuff, she'd knock or if he wants to leave the door unlocked. I can also see him finding her curled up in front of his door one morning and is just like "girl, no... sthap." Lol. But I am good with whatever you're interested in and whatever works best for you. I want us all to have fun!
:)
Naminé might get a stern talking to from Solider when she tells him that Sora's going to save them. She has so much faith in him.
no subject
... girl... omg.............. BRAINWAVE THOUGH he could just camp out on naminé's couch in the shared space between her and hana's room for a bit... just so she isn't alone!!
trust me i'll be stalking every single one of these threads with a passion i'll catch it... i will!!!
no subject
OH THAT WOULD BE PERFECT! Tho she'd ask if he wants her bed lol. Cuz she feels bad making him sleep on a couch.
I stalk a lot of threads too. :D
no subject
LISTEN NAMINÉ. listen. would sora ever make a girl sleep on a couch if her own bed was right there. listen. he'll just pick her up and put her back in bed. you can't stop him. He's big now
