❪ october plot conclusion; wyver takes ❫



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.
FINAL OOC NOTE

[ he supposes with the cure and everything else going around, despite tensions, people are inclined to get a little loose. something vane isn't averse to in the least. if anything, if there's food... he's there. but, while he seems busy attempting to stuff his face with the nearest vendor offering some common types of street food. his cheeks are full of whatever he could manage to put in his mouth when he feels his shoulder meet with someone else's.

unbeknownst to him, it seems like there is a lot more dancing here than he anticipates, and he nearly coughs his food out as he balks at who it is.
] Arh!! Itsh you!!! [ says vane, as he does his best not to choke on whatever he's eating.

[ when he's arrived here, he considered himself fairly experienced in ... well, a lot of things. if anything, his own knight work required him to explore and venture new territories. but, even with adventures with primal beasts and warring nations, it seems like el nysa always had a way of surprising him.

kind of like now when he sees someone zooming through the trees. on threads? on? some twine of some sort? vane seems so busy analyzing what it is that he nearly misses the idea that there's a dragon tailing after that blur of something.

but, before he could even get a word out, he's picked straight off the ground???

I don't think they had enough time to put it in a capsule.

He'd hoped she'd have some idea how to use that, but that's okay. He's not going to condescend. She knows where the sharp end goes.

But it's still questionable; why bother getting attached when the payoff is usually defunct.

It's not like I knew what to do after that.

Here's the problem; Fitz is pretty strong, but he's also a wiry man, built for fighting and not for hauling 80 pound bags of stupidity around with him, so he's starting to feel this. He pulls them back behind a rock outcropping, and motions for Merlin to shut up as he nudges him up over the rocks. The intention is, hopefully, plain: look over the rocks to see your dragon.]

I think if we clear some of the dirt around the top...

[He starts, beginning to do just that. It's a little difficult, given the chill and compacted nature of the surrounding soil, but it's as good an idea as any.

Eventually, the weird little bud of the root starts to peek through, and he wraps his hands around the stems.
]

Better. Now if I just give it a tug--

[Which is, again, a little difficult. The shoulders have to breach the ground, but once that's done it pops free easily and he almost falls back on his butt.

Immediately, the thing starts to shriek, a weird, rooty face with a fully formed but shallow mouth twisting into a wail and the "face" contorting in agony. It's, uh, startling. He almost drops the horrible little thing, wrapping a hand tightly around the top where the bizarre simulacrum of a head is, and Zevran looks over at Venom, horrified.

He's quiet for a moment as the plant continues to scream, muffled slightly by his palm. His ears are ringing, and he looks very concerned. After a long pause, he speaks.

[ The expression of genuine concern and remorse is perhaps what surprises Rhys the most about Anders's reaction. That sort of thing just wasn't common no matter where you went. People were either assholes or assholes trying to kill you. It didn't matter if they worked for Hyperion or lived on Pandora.

It's nice though. Rhys might look briefly surprised by it but his expression smooths out quickly as a happy bit of heat coils in his stomach and he's suddenly met with the urge to embrace the man. Which is odd because the two of them haven't exactly hugged or anything yet, but Rhys does allow himself to drift a little closer and pat a hand against the man's upper arm. ]

You can keep being this close... if you want to.

[She's not going to tell him that he can't. Having him close by makes her feel at ease - and Yona has always been at her best when people she cares about are around. Even before tonight, Slaine had firmly cemented himself in "people she cares about" territory.

He isn't Soo-won. She knows that all too well - and if Hak is to be believed, that's a good thing. She's not sure exactly how she would feel if he were ever to wake up - she's not sure if she can trust him, because although she wants to believe in him, she trusts Hak too, and he wouldn't lie to her about something so serious.

But with Slaine, there's none of that uncertainty. He's been nothing but kind to her ever since they met, and if he wants to stay close, if he wants to be with her, then she's more than willing to let him.

She shifts a bit to press a kiss to his cheek, but misjudges the distance - and ends up kissing the corner of his lips instead.]


For as long as you want, as often as you want.

[OK, yeah, the magic pond is kind of a draw. The only magic body of water in Thedas he's ever encountered was rumored to be the lake around the Redcliffe Circle, and that was because of all the failed potions and crap that people dumped in it. Not the most pleasant circumstance. So, yes, he's also curious but in that Theodosian "let the magic thing be" sort of way.

Zevran steps closer to the edge of the water, boots sinking slightly into the oversaturated mud at the bank, the waterlogged grasses and roots providing good traction--at least for him. Merlin...maybe less so. The poor guy's dangerous enough on flat ground.

He's trying to get a better view out into the water, but between the refraction and the reflection of what sunlight reaches down through the trees, he can't quite see.
]

That might not be a good idea.

[He's not looking at Merlin as he speaks, still squinting into the water, but before the last syllable is even out of his mouth, there's a crack. His head whips around and he's reaching for Merlin as soon as he realizes what's happening.]

[ In any other situation, the sensation of a girl clad in nothing but lingerie pressing up against his arm would get his heart racing for an entirely different reason, but right now JJ doesn't even have the presence of mind to ruminate on how scandalous this might seem. He's too busy thinking about what idiots the both of them are: stripping down to their underwear and thinking that they could survive an encounter with a dragon completely unarmed. They're the kind of kids that would follow one another off a cliff with barely any convincing required. The stable owners had made it seem like such a casual affair, but JJ can't help but wonder now if they weren't just feeding them false information in order to give their dragons a free meal.

Well, stable be damned, JJ only cares about getting them both out of this alive now. ]


We just need to get back to the city. [ Which, admittedly, sounds kind of impossible right now. ] There will be other people there, Wyver is used to dragons so someone will know what to do.

[ It sounds so simple, but the way his body is tense with fear, heart is pounding, and sweat is forming over his skin reveals just how difficult the task really is. Across them, in the other forest, the dragon lets out another roar, jaws snapping at trees as if to completely pull away any cover that they might be using. ]

We just have to be quiet... We need to go.

[ There's no other option. So he just pulls Misa closer to him and starts to tread as quietly as he can in the direction opposite of the one that they'd taken to find the dragon in the first place. ]

[ Rosalind will be able to feel him breathe out a chuckle against her skin, and his lips curve into a smirk before they move to bite her lower lip. It's good to know that she's feeling more comfortable, because he would hate to cross a line and get sent out of this apartment without at least getting some action on his end.

One hand moves to the small of her back, pushing her towards him. His touch isn't forceful, but it isn't gentle, either. It's become a bit more authoritative, as if he's telling her to get over here.

Qrow kisses her, mouth open, a hunger that only someone whose inhibitions are gone would give. He gets a feel of her for a while, kissing her again and again. Eventually, once he's sunken further onto the couch, his free hand grips onto her waist, hand immediately going under the blouse to touch skin. ]
