❪ 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:
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.
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: Those who retrieve any of these items will be rewarded 100 Silver. FINAL OOC NOTE
An AC-eligible thread for 2 WYVER REP POINTS may be submitted from this log. SUBMIT THE THREAD HERE by DEC 10th 11:59 PM EST.
We will no longer be providing overflow posts. In an event where the post hits CAPTCHA, players are advised to move threads to an overflow post on their character journals or create their own catch-all post. These threads remain eligible for AC, AC Rewards, and REP. 1 SILVER = 1 US DOLLAR. |
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.

I hardly had the time to mourn my own brother, let alone the millions, if not billions of human lives lost due to the storm.
[...]
[This sure is information he hasn't told Shima about?? Which he's dropping entirely too casually, eyes suddenly very busy with his own phone. Huh.]
no subject
no subject
[Still looking at his phone... did he start playing a phone game? Kinda looks like it.]
The manner in which he vanished was a bit unusual... ah, not that it matters. Whether he's dead or in stasis is irrelevant. Regardless, he's no longer here.
[--which would still be something worth mourning, is the implication. Even if nothng in Mephisto's tone implies that he's upset at all. But then again, clearly he hasn't gone up to confirm whether he's up there or not either.]
no subject
Mmmmm...
I guess it's not really any of my business then. But. feels like it's actually probably relevant information? Hope's tricky though. I don't blame ya. Don't take it out on me though, I'm a delicate human, ya know...
no subject
[Also wow don't tell him what to do??]
Oh, if I'm taking anything out on you, it's for pulling me away from a rather lovely evening with [...] a friend!
Surely you don't think I'd go out drinking on my own, hm?
no subject
[Go on Mephisto, you have his permission!]
no subject
[Not even gonna deny it??]
[...but also he can't go back after making a show of having to leave, he'll look too needy. His night is effectively over.]
But I'm merely pointing out that you could have given this to me, hmm... any time in the last three days?
Honestly, I'm the last person to mind if you're going to lie, but you should really at least cover your tracks.
no subject
I wouldn'ta interrupted if I knew you were busy. How was I supposed ta know ya made "friends" so fast?
no subject
[That's his job.]
But you know, had you simply sent me a message instead of calling out to me, we could have avoided all this unpleasantness.
[They could have had different unpleasantness, like Mephisto sending an awkward selfie.]
I may have deemed this not to be an emergency, but that's not always going to be the case. Just for the record: I won't ignore you if I hear you calling my true name.
no subject
Aaah whatever, I give up. Ya win. Never do nice things, I got it. A lesson was learned today!
[Flops over, half sliding off the seat.]
no subject
[He actually sounds a little mystified by it. He was always mean?? Why should this come as a surprise to him!]
[Not that he's really put much thought into how Shima's mental state might be holding up after everything that's happened. And not just more recent events, either. For all that he appreciated that level of disconnect that Shima could maintain with those around him, even he had to have his limits.]
...perhaps I am a bit meaner than I need to be when I drink.
[Unfortunately, this is the closest he's probably getting to an apology, probably.]
no subject
No no, it's probably no big deal, who'd have any feelings ta hurt?
[That comes out more resigned than sarcastic, though it's certainly a bit sarcastic.]
no subject
[He sighs, reaching up and running a hand through his hair, only succeeding in making it look a bit messier than it already did. It was easier to forget the strange mood he's been in these past few days while he was around Jae-ha (which was odd in and of itself), but now that he's been thoroughly pulled out of that reverie, it's starting to catch up with him again.]
[And the effects of that pact certainly aren't helping.]
...I don't know how you managed to get your hands on these files, and I won't ask. But for the record, I do appreciate it.
[He pushes out of his chair and stands.]
Please-- try to enjoy the rest of your evening.
[And unless Shima has anything else to say -- he'll turn and leave, choosing to walk rather than simply teleport.]
no subject
What happened to the basically untouchable headmaster Shima had had to deal with? He lost half his powers, lost his brother, his efforts at home wasted, and he definitely wasn't managing to distance himself well enough from all that if he was making the mistake of jabbing Shima's buttons without purpose--and Shima can't see any reason at the moment why Mephisto, even being a demon, should want to hurt him except that he's messed up himself and doing it on reflex...
Tailing Mephisto might not yield any answers he hasn't already gathered so far, and he figures he's more likely to get caught than not, but it's a way for him to turn the encounter into a situation to study rather than a personal sting, and he'd rather satisfy a curiosity than wallow in regret.]
no subject
[--but seeing as they are under contract, yes, he has a vague idea that Shima is following him.]
[But at a certain point, once he's "alone", he crouches down on the ground and then leaps up into the air, gracefully landing down on a nearby rooftop. You'd think something like that would be more tiring than simply teleporting up there... but for him, it's a fun new enhancement he might as well try out, even if it's only purpose is to help his usual superhuman jumps look more like flight than simply jumping.]
[Of course, he's not so far away that he won't be visible, sitting up there with one knee pulled up to his chest. He takes a seat, running a hand up over his face and into his hair, bowing his head over his knee. It was a strangely vulnerable movement -- not the sort of body language he ever really conveyed around others.]
[But it only lasts a moment-- because in the next, Mephisto suddenly shifts, taking his phone and and holding it back, poised as if it about to throw it-- but he stops. And then slowly brings it back down, opening it and seemingly typing a message--]
[--which Shima receives.]
Leave.
