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): 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
