❪ october plot conclusion; wyver takes ❫

[natha]

THE END TO THE EPIDEMIC     On the morning of November 3, there is a palpable buzz on the streets as both the natives of Wyver and Olympian refugees share the same sentiment: excitement. Word will quickly spread that a cure to VIOLET2710 has finally been developed and is ready for mass dissemination. Throughout the city, the cure can be found at any of the numerous small temples and outposts of the Altar of Volkkra. The shamans of Volkkra will happily distribute the cure to any of the ill in need of it, without restraint. A joint venture between both Olympia and Wyver, citizens of both are granted equal access. As the lines form, the shamans will ask that able-bodied persons administer the cure to themselves and to others. Don't let the needles scare you! It'll only hurt a little. At each of these outposts, signs will be posted giving credit to those who aided in the creation and manufacture of the cure: Claire Fraser Amaterasu Pike Trickfoot Charles Xavier Alan Foster (Bruce Wayne) Keyleth Rosalind Lutece Shinjiro Aragaki Mipha Wrathion Dorian Pavus Merlin Morrigan Clarke Griffin Rose Lalonde Peter Parker Linnaeus Zelda John Watson You Watanabe Jean Grey Mikleo Daenerys Targaryen Dylas Frankenstein Waver Velvet As they distribute the cure, the shamans will note that those receiving the cure should give thanks to those named. Without their contributions, it may have taken much longer for the cure to be found and created in large enough quantities to save everyone. SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO?     With Olympia and Wyver's fragile alliance still in effect and a cure to VIOLET2710 distributed, Olympia finally opens its gates once again to Refugees if they feel a little homesick. High-speed transportation will be available at record low costs as politicians, merchants, and other business owners desperately hurry home to salvage whatever they can from the terrorist attacks. Refugees are advised to remain in Wyver until food rations can be recovered and the water can be decontaminated. However, those more personally attached to Olympia may discover that the city is preparing a mass call for volunteers that will go out in the near future. In the meantime, and understandably, you should do what you can to help the Wyver people. The Dragon city has started posting quests, not only for you to do your part, but for the Wyver people to gauge your worth as visitors to their sacred land. Thesa also has an interest in the unfolding events. Refugees have now been exposed to both lands, and certainly some will find themselves more invested in one side than the other. Darma finally wakes from slumber to observe, and while she is thankful that Refugees are immersed in her world, there is something foreboding on the horizons. On the night of the 3rd, Darma will appear in your dreams for a conversation. It has been some time, Refugee... ah, no, certainly not for me. I am Darma. It is my hope that Sael as served you well in my place. The Natha do not feel, but I must express gratefulness that I am able to return to you. My greeting extends to both old and new faces. As we watch you, we see that this world and its people have begun to influence your hearts. In time, your loyalty to either of these lands, to Olympia or to Wyver, shall affect how you are seen by the other side. As observers, we are unable to provide either region a winning edge. Thus, once you pledge loyalty to one, you cannot use Thesa to teleport to the other. Choose wisely, or choose none at all. There is no war for those who do not wish to see it. For those who do... if I may be prudent— this alliance will not last. Keep your friends close, Refugee, for they may not remain so if your allegiances conflict. You will wake before you get a chance to reply. THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM IN THE UNDERGROWTH     The locals often speak of a cursed place deep within Wyver territory, confounded by the spirits of dragons who passed long ago: those who still wish for vengeance on the people of Olympia for their untimely deaths. Though these stories began as nothing more than urban legends among the raiders and shamans, over time the idea has become mainstream. So much that the rumors have started causing unrest between the people of Wyver and their guests. More than a few people within Wyver have used these rumors as justification for opposing the current alliance with Olympia. Many Wyver locals see these rumors as a sign that their ancestors disapprove of the alliance. As a result, those in charge have decided that it would be prudent to mitigate some of the anxiety from either side. Those who are willing to look into these rumors further will find themselves lead towards the darkest parts of Wyver, deep within the Undergrowth in a region devoid of light. The faint of heart will be advised against delving further. Common among these rumors are accounts of people being attacked by an unseen enemy, or talk of possession and out-of-body experiences. Those who press on will find that the culprit is none other than a new, undocumented beast. This creature is able to camouflage itself perfectly to its environment. This, paired with darkness of the deep Undergrowth, makes this beast nearly impossible to detect with the naked eye. The creature also release a noxious gas that can spark a range of emotional responses: some may grow hysterical, while others may be consumed by despair. The effects only last for minutes, though some may linger in the back of one's mind for hours after. While the creature does not actually attack people directly, the other beasts of the Undergrowth may take advantage of its victims. Fortunately, Wyver is not looking for the creature's capture. They respect the delicate balance of the jungle as they see themselves as its protectors. For now, they only desire more information about this creature in order to assuage the people. Good luck and do your best to keep your wits! ALRIA'S FULL MOON     While Olympians worship the ever-present light of Thesa, the people of Wyver are captivated by the smaller, yet ever-changing Alria. Alria cycles in and out of the night sky much like what denizens of Earth would remember as lunar phases, and those who are familiar with that may notice it is very similar to their own. And likewise, the creatures, men and women of Wyver are affected when Alria transitions into its full moon phase. DRAGONS & LUNATICS — The dragons are restless. Perhaps because this particular full moon is accompanied by far more human scent than they are typically used to, but there's no doubt that they are eyeing humans as they do fresh prey. That is exactly why humans or human-like refugees will be tasked to tame a particularly rowdy dragon stable. The dragon mounts at Lhongha Stables have broken free from their homes, roaming aimlessly in the deep undergrowth. You and another will be advised to strip down to your undergarments (it's hot, relax a little, human!) and lure the dragons back to the stables with your bodies. Rowdy dragons do love their human flesh! "Just a hunch," says the owner of the stables, "But I bet they'll come running faster if they smell your human blood." He laughs as he hands over a pocket knife if he sees you're not carrying a weapon. The owner assures you that the dragons have been trained not to attack unless told to, but who knows how serious he is about that? JUNGLE HEAT (NSFW) — The full moon affects Wyver in other ways as well. While Olympia has a district blessed by Thesa's light all year long, Wyver only feels it at a certain time of the month. "The Heat" lasts for a full week starting on a full moon. You'll see it everywhere. Olympia has its lust confined in a single district, but in Wyver, during the phase of the full moon, the lust is everywhere. The people of Wyver will be friendlier then, offering you ale and meat. They sing songs of destroying their enemies up north, but even the native Olympians won't be able to will themselves to be angry when Alria shines upon them. Perhaps you'll be find yourself affected, too, by Alria's light. And it's okay to get touchy; it isn't like the locals care about public displays of affection when they most certainly are getting handsy themselves. THE PACT OF VOLKKRA — Shamans, too, participate in celebrations of Alria's full moon. During the event, the shamans will give pairs each a couple of blessed dragon teeth necklaces. Wyver tradition states that if a shaman approves you as a pair, then you are granted a chance to form a Volkkran Pact. This pact, the shaman will explain, will bond a pair as an unstoppable team, granting one another a small influence on each others' powers. "King Shanrian and his Pact, Counsel Shenya benefit from this. Shenya was granted physical strength, and our King his Counsel's perception. It has made quite a difference." THE VOLKKRAN PACT AT NAMARAK SUMMIT     Despite being mistaken for a pair, there is no need to take the shaman's advice. The necklace will disappear if the Pact isn't completed in a week's time. However, if the Pact's benefits might be something of interest to you and your partner, then you'll be advised to travel further south, until you reach Namarak Mountain. At the summit, you'll find an altar, where you and your partner are expected to return the necklaces and make a vow to support one another. The shaman there isn't particularly interested in what you do to complete the Pact. In fact, many people who attempt the Pact tend to... go a bit further than is necessary, when it can be achieved through a simple kiss between the partners. The Volkkran Pact's effects are immediate upon physical contact. Each Pact can be broken through a special process with the head Shaman, but there needs to be at least a month's time before one can sever it. The pairs may be fake and still receive the benefit of the Pact, though they may find that sharing power with someone they are not truly committed to is a mistake. NOTE: Players may be creative about what powers can be shared. The recipients of the such powers can never be granted its full strength, but it may be strengthened with Wyver REP rewards. Please note that PCs does not need to pledge allegiance to Wyver in order to keep the Volkkran Pact; they will only need 10 Wyver REP in order to strengthen it. Refer to the questions thread below if you have any questions. BUILD-A-BLADE WORKSHOP     Sirod, the weapon's head shopkeeper, is interested in procuring a few materials for his clients. While these clients have already collected the claws of larger beasts and various other parts needed to create their new weapons, they are still missing some rare, necessary items. In particular, they are still missing the following: High Prisms — These tiny crystals attach themselves to the branches of older trees. They tend to hang near the tops of them, hiding in the shadows of the leaves. Unfortunately, retrieving them requires one… to climb. Hopefully you got a lot of tree climbing practice as a kid. Who knew that skill would ever come in handy? Crystal Drop — These are normally found near bodies of water. Especially water that has been enchanted, past or present. The drops tend to cling to the floors of these mystical streams and lagoons. Those seeking them will also have to be careful not to be affected by the water’s properties. Perhaps that's part of the trick of gathering them. Frozen Mylan Root — Mylans are a type of live vegetation that grows on Namarak Mountain. Constantly roaming in the warm seasons, they root themselves into fertile earth during the winter where they sleep until spring, making the snowy mountain ideal to acquire the roots. Plucking them from the ground takes strength, and slicing them will prove equally difficult... and of course, there is a blood-curdling scream when you wake it from its slumber. Well, it wouldn't be a real test of strength and emotional fortitude otherwise. Those who retrieve any of these items will be rewarded 100 Silver.

[nineteenfortyfive]

1. NURSE FRASER

[The signs with her name on it are embarrassing, but there's little time to take note of that when she's eager to actually administer the cure. She feels like she hasn't slept properly in a month--more or less true--but this is the last push. Claire can be found with needle in hand, approaching anyone that needs aid.]

Here, let me see you. Sleeve up.

[Or, she can be found in between, discarding of used needles and trying to keep the area clean and tidy. No need for anyone to accidentally get an infection from crossed tools after all this mess. If you've been helping in any sort of manner during this crisis, she'll muster up a small but sincere smile.]

Thank you. I saw you doing your part.

2. GET THIS WOMAN A BED

[Later, once most people that need their cure have gotten it, Claire sits. Her back aches, her neck aches, her feet ache. Everything aches. Everything has been aching. Stone isn't the best sort of seat, but she just means to rest for a moment before going to find Jamie or Steve or Peggy. Make sure they're doing fine.

She'll just rest her eyes for a moment.

A moment that has her slumping down as she inevitably dozes off.]

3. WILDCARD

[Throw Claire a random bone, or send me a PM to set something up! I'm down for it all.]

u know the one..

[adelphoi]

[ it's back again, that silly schoolgirl rush of fondness and excitement. that warm, bubbling feeling in her heart. it doesn't help that prompto keeps giggling like an absolute buffoon, but after all they have been through this past month.. well, she supposes they deserve a little silliness, and some cloying sweetness.

more than the fact that she loves him, she is doing this because she is grateful. it is easy to love someone at their best, but prompto has seen her through her worst. he sacrificed his time and sleep, his well-being and very sanity to remain by her side, steadfast and loyal and dedicated. he cared for her while she was bleeding, hurting, dying, and even when all had seemed lost, he had still dared to hope, he'd had faith in her strength to survive. whether or not the stars aligned to bring them together - well, alisaie isn't really the sort to buy into that sort of mystical claptrap, but she does know that what they have been through together has.. solidified something between them. something worth acknowledging, and honoring.

that the shamans had chosen them randomly from a throng of passersby was happenstance, she is glad to make this commitment with or without their intervention. besides, it's not as if there aren't myriad benefits to being enhanced by the presence of the other.

and she's in too good a mood to roll her eyes at his exuberance, because let me tell you, after a month in bed, hiking up a snowy mountaintop feels like the best thing she's ever done. ]

Yes, actually, you could theoretically be capable of both. I can't say for sure, considering I've no idea how this ritual is meant to work.

[nineteenfortyfive]

[She thought she was done with dealing with fools and needles. Claire does a double take as she passes by, then whirls around to snatch the needle from his hand. She has no more patience for this. Thank the blood drive and Theon.]

What are you doing?

dragons!!

[originallutece]

Nice shorts.

[She drawls it out as she comes up from behind him. Truth be told, it's still a shock to see people wandering around so blatantly, and she can't deny it embarrasses her a little, but she could get used to it. Heaven knows the views aren't that bad.

She needs the money as badly as he does, which is why they're out here at all.]

Don't cut your hands, now. That's a foolish place and you'll risk infection. Much better to try the shoulder area. Shall I do it for you?

[bruxisms]

[ he lets out a hiss as the needle comes out of his hand, and his teeth clench, so hard one might think they will fall out of his mouth. ]

Attempting to help. They said they had need of able-bodied men and women, and it was my duty to respond. Is that a crime, woman?

[ his fury is barely contained. not at the woman, truthfully, but more at himself, for he had been able to do so little in the long run. ]

misa amane | death note

[lifespanned]

a. don't be afraid of needles

It's okay! Misa will take good care of you.

[ Aside from her bright and perky smile that she's adorning to ease the sick person's spirits, she's also managed to deck herself out in clothes that vaguely resemble those of a nurse's outfit - her hair pinned up in a bun and everything. This is serious business!! And she intends to look the part, even if upon closer inspection, her long nails are making her fumble a bit with the syringe, as she has absolutely no experience doing something like this. ]

I just put all of it in your arm, right?

[ Super reassuring. ]

b. dragons and lunatics
[ Is she scared for her life? Yes. Is the only thing shielding her from getting eaten alive by a dragon a flimsy pocket knife (that she isn't even holding correctly)? Yes. But are her panties and bra set at least cute? Hell yea. ]

I can do this... Misa can totally do this...

[ She's talking to herself, mostly, and she takes a moment to fan her face because all the fear is making her lightheaded. She'll give a look to her partner, clearly worried but also clearly making an attempt to resolve her mental strength for the task at hand. ] He said they wouldn't attack us, right...?

[ Though she isn't sure how much she believes him, now that they're here in the Undergrowth waiting for a sign that a dragon was near. ]

c. pact of volkkra(?)
[ The excitement of the evening air under the moon has led Misa out to mingle with the town, intrigued by the celebrations that were taking place. Her social personality keeps her in constant chatter with locals, and at one point in the ceremony, she starts lingering by your side, bright and cheerful and clearly has the intent of talking your ear off.

That is, until a shaman mistakes the two for a couple, putting the dragon teeth necklaces around their necks before returning to the celebration. Her demeanor completely changes as she tries to call the shaman back: ] Hey!!! Come back!!!! We are not a couple!!!!!!!!

d. wildcard
( anything else you have in mind or any other prompt you want to tackle, i'm down! you can also hit me up at ishimarus to plot! ♡ )

[nineteenfortyfive]

[Lucky for him, Claire also knows how to pull teeth. Given the annoyance on her face, a thing that only increases when he calls her woman, she might actually enjoy it.]

Helping would mean you're not jabbing yourself with the bloody needle. This is the safe end. [The part with the plunger.] This is what goes in someone else. [The pointed end.]

But not this one, if you've stuck yourself with it. You need a clean one.

[meinwaifu]

["Anything strange", huh. Unfortunately, Mephisto's not going to be a position to tell her anything before it happens. The effects of the gas work quickly, and in the time it takes for Yona to finish talking, Mephisto wraps an arm around his chest and practically stumbles to his knees, his other hand reaching up to cover over his face--]

[And when he speaks, he suddenly sounds extremely upset.]

Oh, what's the point... they'll believe whatever they want to believe no matter what we say. All of this... it's just pointless.

[fractaljesus]

This is my first time drinking. [Taste aside, he can see why people would find the intoxicating effects addictive. It's a rather pleasantly warm sensation coiling through his entire body.

He gives up the glass when Venom takes it, finding no more use for it now that he's done drinking.]

Conditions are not ideal. [He answers. There has been a regrettable shortage of books to read, but plenty of other things to do and see. Lots of information to take in.] I have familiarized myself with this city and the outlying regions. Wyver is very different from Olympia. [But apart from observing and learning, he hasn't been up to much.]

People are highly adaptable. They can adjust to nearly any environment. Have you adjusted to Wyver or will you return to Olympia?

[veneries]

[Ramsay doesn't need the cure, has no business being here. It's purely chance that he comes across Claire dozing on a stone bench.

It's a busy place, people bustle about in the background, there are guards outside- those things keep him from doing more than stopping to watch her sleep. For a moment his expression is calculating, almost hungry.

Then he reaches a decision and kneels in front of her, places a hand on her shoulder. An approximation of concern appears on his face.] Lady Claire?

[Allison, his large black hound, sits patiently next to him. She regards Claire like she would any other prey: with an impatient desire for the prey to run so that she can give chase.]

[shashka]

[ his breathing slowly but surely begins to steady, though he eyes his companion with suspicion that he might not otherwise show so readily.

this really wasn't his day, now was it. ]

It could be the... whatever it was.

[ he takes one deep breath, and then another. ]

I'm pretty sure it's not a spirit. If that helps.

[ considering that if it were, he should've seen it, given what he's learned since arriving here. ]

You Watanabe | Love Live! Sunshine!!

[ayes]

[Dragons & Lunatics] [You isn't sure about this. She's really not. She's aware that if any of this goes wrong, she's completely in over her head. On the other hand, it's been chafing at her for nearly the entire month that she's been unable to help. Unable to really do anything. She feels useless, and so when given the opportunity to help out by doing something she's good at and being athletic? Nobody's ever accused her of taking too much time to consider her options before, after all. She's not quite in her underthings, though. She's opted for a one-piece swimsuit, because at least she feels comfortable (and less exposed) in this. She's also really not sure about the knife, which she keeps uncomfortably switching from hand to hand as she (and her companion) venture through the brush.] You don't think we'll have to hurt them, do you? If a knife like this could actually hurt them, I mean. It seems kinda useless against a dragon. [Jungle Heat (NSFW)] [The moon hangs full in the sky, and You, though the cause is unbeknownst to her, is feeling... weird. It's a strange tension in her body. Her face feels warm and fuzzy, like it had done when she'd been drunk that first weekend here on the planet. Her body feels uncomfortably hot, and everything seems to tingle. You, however, is attributing it to a lack of sleep brought on by all of this. Maybe she's just anxious, she thinks! She is, however, wearing that same swimsuit (albeit with shorts over it) because it's so warm.] Geez... everyone's so friendly tonight! Have they been offering you stuff to eat and drink, too? I wonder what's up! [She remarks, to you, the person nearest her. Why is her heart racing?] (ooc: If you're interested in the NSFW prompt, PM me or hit me up on Plurk! I'm not looking for You to lose her V-card just yet, but some making out, heavy petting and groping, and the like, are absolutely on the table.)

[nineteenfortyfive]

[Claire doesn't wake with a start. It's slow, the opening of her eyes, body not wanting to stir from even an uncomfortable resting place. But they open, and slowly focus on the young man before her. Oh, hell. Must have fallen asleep. Silly her.]

Willem.

[Willem, and his beast. That is what has Claire awake, bolting upright and pushing herself away, shoulder blades pressing into the solid back of the bench.]

Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ! What on earth is that?

[Not a fan of giant dogs.]

dragons!

[shashka]

[ the ghost of a smile appears on his face, as someone calls over to him. he wasn't about to put himself in any danger either, but even so...

he makes his way over, looking as affable as you please. ]

Can I help you?

[ if nothing else, this might be fun. ]

[wondie]

( trying to fit armor on over your underwear? damn, Hawke, this is why Diana likes you. she grins, rather delighted by the absolute lack of modesty. who needs it anyway! all a girl needs is a short dress and accented by armor and she's good to go! that's the amazon way. )

Your reputation must have suffered much since arriving here, ( Diana says apologetically (though her expression is more playful than sympathetic). there are dragons around, but clearly, the people of Wyver would be slightly upset if they were to be murdered. the people of the city were quite fond of the creatures, despite their brutal natures. )

Very well, you may be the bait. As long as we don't end up killing this one. ( does that mean Diana can keep her clothes on? presumably, right? )

jungle heat

[motivation]

[ dutch has lost count of the mugs of ale she's been handed, that she's emptied, that she's taken and handed to somebody else. she doesn't mind. better yet, she's enjoying herself — and when anders' gaze finds hers and he walks over a moment later to press the mug to her chest, her lips curl into a smile and she takes it. ]

Kind of you.

[ though odd that he's not interested in drinking it himself. ] Where's your own?

[razzledazzles]

[Now that Yona had been cured, Jae-Ha could rest easy. That was true, but there was something knotted tight in his heart that he didn't want to think about. All that she had said and done— it was her illness, her lack of memory, her feelings. He couldn't hold it against her. Of course he didn't.

But it still hurt.

Hearing her voice now, he turns with a briefly surprised look, but it quickly melts into a warm smile. Even if his heart is in pain, he can't bear to worry her with it. As long as she's okay, walking and healthy, surrounded by people who care about her— it's okay.]

There you are, Yona dear!

[He hadn't forgotten what he'd told her, after all. He had something to give her. Leaning in just enough to place a hand on her head, he smiles brightly at her, giving her a subtle once over, just to be sure she looks to be in better condition. She does, thankfully.]

I hope you didn't think I'd forgotten. [Reaching into his robe with his free hand, he pulls out earrings in a little gift box.]

They're not the ones you were looking at in Olympia, but I thought they suited you.

[wondie]

( Diana isn't exactly startled by the outburst, though it's not quite enough to make her stop, either. she's still moderately decent, with her armor still on... though it's hard to say how long that might last. the amazon armor is not as conducive to a swim as her leather training gear would be. )

I presume you mean me, ( Diana notes dryly, though Stannis isn't exactly look at her. she sort of is the only female presence around, though, so it seems a safe guess. )

[originallutece]

You can.

[She nods out to those dragons, two of whom seem preoccupied right now with tearing apart some poor animal's carcass.]

There's a reward out there for anyone who can manage to lure those in. The owner thinks someone stripping down to their underwear and acting as bait would help, while another waits to lock them in. And since I've no intention of removing a single garment . . .

[She raises an eyebrow. He might, clearly, is what she's getting at.]

[razzledazzles]

Please.

[Jae-Ha is too used to Mephisto being himself, and brushes the pet name off. But glancing down at the necklace in his own palm, he's thinking on the Shaman's words. A vow to each other, shared abilities... It does sound... a little like marriage?]

I wouldn't wish this leg on anybody. [The powers were great, of course, but this fate wasn't so simple. It's a hideous thing, like being marked a monster, and to be told who to follow without a choice... He still doesn't like it.]

I wouldn't think that someone like you would do anything like this. [He says that, he voices his disinterest for it, but he's still stuck on it. Vow...?? It's not like he cares if Mephisto would do it or anything, baka...!

He dangles the necklace in front of Mephisto as he eyes it himself.] Right?

[eusford]

[ Is Keith really here because of conspiracies... I hate this. ]

Haha. [ The laughter he releases is empty despite his lips remain curled into a grin. ] Honestly if you manage to kill me then I probably deserve it. [ Keith is fragile and weak... if he actually does get killed by him that would be the biggest joke of the century. ]

But you can hardly fight to save your life, so that means I’m safe no matter what~

[bruxisms]

That much is obvious [ he is far from an utter fool. ]. I had not expected the top to move so easily.

[ yes, that was where the fault lay, in its design. he knows well enough he is wrong, but he will not be spoken to like a child. ]

Can this one not be cleaned yet again? I have read that boiling water and lemon should do the trick.

[ his tone remains harsh, though he attempts to be courteous. why must it be so difficult to speak to women? ]

[cutefaced]

No, it's okay if you do it.

[Take it! Take the needle! With Yona's luck if she tries to do it herself she'll start coughing and end up stabbing herself in the eye with the cure. Or something.

Which is to say, she hands it over to Mikleo without much fuss.]

...thank you for the help.

[bruxisms]

[ his eyes remain averted, partially out of habit. while she has barely taken off that much clothing, he remains incredibly uncomfortable, as he nearly always was around women.

really, he cannot understand it. ]

Is there another woman here?

[ he keeps looking at the tree, grinding his teeth. ]

What is your intention?

[ for it was said these waters were enchanted. it would not be wise to dive in without knowing what manner of magic you might face. ]

[cutefaced]

What..?!

[Okay, now he's changed from Weird Dude to Rude Dude. Yona scowls as she lurches forward, balling her hand into a fist to try and hit him right in the face.]

What kind of a question is that?! I'm just trying to help!
