EVENT INFO: HUNGER AND THIRST
EVENT INFO: HUNGER AND THIRST
the basics
On September 19th, forest spirits from beyond the town venture cautiously to meet these people they've heard so much about. Will they become new allies, or are they here to invade? What can you learn from them, and what will they learn about you?
the details
Our upcoming event, Hunger and Thirst, will feature two types of prompts for interacting with these distant cousins of the forest spirits everyone in town already knows, loves, and sometimes fears.
Firstly, there will be a couple of general prompts for how the spirits may act around all of you, whether that's cautious, mischeivous, or downright aggressive - and as with similar prompts before, you are free to control the spirits as you like for these threads as they interact with you and whoever else you are tagging. As a reminder, typical forest spirits can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, wear a variety of masks on their faces, and generally have an intelligence level roughly equivalent to that of a pokemon: above that of most animals, but still somewhat simplistic. The new spirits, of course, are outsiders - they haven't seen people in a very long time or perhaps ever, and are prone to eating furniture, stealing items, and pulling very hard on your face to see if it's actually attached.
As part of these general prompts, there will be a specific header for you to hold threads under if you want mod-controlled spirits to drop in and out of threads. These will still not be direct one-on-one threads with spirits, but it means you and your thread partner(s) are open to some surprise visitors outside your control. If you do not want hostile interactions, you will be able to request that. And likewise, if you want a fight, you can absolutely say so!
The second prompt type, however, is essentially a memory share event from a different angle than usual. Many of the spirits hold back their interactions with the townspeople entirely, waiting at the periphery of the forest. The local spirits make it clear for them that what they seek is an offering. Give them something meaningful and they will share with you a fragment of what they remember from their own past. Who and what are the spirits, where do they come from, and what do they want? Some of these questions might finally be answered as the puzzle pieces all begin to fall into place.
On September 30th, will the spirits retreat back into the forest, or will they stay? Will they make Beacon safer or will there be new threats around every corner? This outcome will depend on how these outsiders are treated - and you can be sure the local spirits will have their thoughts and reactions after all of this as well.β’β’β’

character(s): Rosinante
plans: You better believe Rosi will get a toplevel for this considering he's trying to promote whatever borderline peace and goodwill everyone has with the spirits in town while being totally exasperated by the ones that he keeps finding in his shoes or stealing his hat.
If anyone needs a mediator or peacekeeper type, or if anyone wants to just vent about their weird experience, he's here for it.
Definitely also intending to have him talk with people later in the event once it becomes obvious that a lot of them will be learning some interesting things. He'll be taking lots of notes, don't worry. That's the sort of thing he's good at. If anyone is interested in collaborating with him on a network post detailing the town's discoveries, let me know!
notes: I'm super planning to be here and completely available through the end of the month, so hit me up. More on tomorrow's CR meme!
notes pt 2: Specifically for the event, here are some things that people who contribute a gift to the spirits with Rosi can end up feeling afterward:
no subject
character(s): Soldat/Bucky, Stone
plans: Soldat is the local non-NPC expert on the spirit language and also on interacting with them, so he is HERE for all your translation and negotiation needs. If you haven't been coming to his classes on the subject, anyway. Stone is on call for anybody who needs protection though as he is a very large dragon type person.
notes: Stone is much slower for me than Soldat but I am tryin' to keep 'em both around <3 I will top-level for both of them on this, probably.
no subject
I'm so sorry for being so slow with our threads and plotting. ; w ; I definitely want Lore to meet up with both Soldat and Stone for the event, so I'll be tagging them into their top-levels when they pop up!

Question/answer from plurk
A: Whichever you like! Both of those are completely fine
no subject
character(s): Fitz Kreiner
plans: No serious plans beyond trying to avoid any ridiculous consequences for poking the event, he'll have figured out by now that caution might be the best way forward for the time being. Of course the best laid plans can get muddled so...yeah.
notes: Trying to get back into the swing of things, initial plan is for a level of chillness with this event but I'm willing to roll with it should things get weird.
