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): Rosinante
plans: Rosi's getting kidnapped. He's had his share of heroics in the last few events so now it's his turn for someone to come and rescue him for a change. Come at me, co-kidnapped folks, because in his more lucid moments he's definitely going to try and work out why this is happening and (fail to) attempt escaping. I'll go for a good mix of psychological and physical torture because why not.

And wow come at me rescuers too! He's going to need some people to help him recover both physically and mentally. He probably won't take well to a bunch of guests all the time afterward but if a few people could stick close he'd appreciate it even if he doesn't say so.

notes: Man you know how I wasn't gonna be here during this event? Just got legally mandated to sit at home for three weeks so uh. Yeah. LET'S DO THIS.

For rescuers: Is the Wild Hunt tagging along for the actual rescue, and if so, are they gonna be mostly a team we can assume is present for things, or are they going to want to join player-formed teams etc?

For kidnappees: Are there any limitations on what the spirits do that we should keep in mind for what we want to play with? And if we want to have our characters try and escape/help/heal one another (obviously ultimately futile, but of course our poor victims don't know that ICly), should we determine how that fails/how the spirits react/how they might retaliate to shut that shit down? Also, logistically speaking, are the kidnappees going to be kept grouped up / away from one another?

(sorry there are so many questions, I'm so excited to play with this)

lmk if you need a big dragon dude to come scoop him out. cuz Stone is a rescuer.

otherwise he and Soldat can bond over being tortured :3 this is familiar to Soldat! being experimented on is old hat! awful, but old hat...

character specific: i'd like vanitas to be kidnapped! how will the green-eyed spirits handle the fact vanitas will bleed off buckets of Unversed as he's tortured? can we assume they'll just be able to kill off them as they come? will they be keeping them for god-only-knows why?
