❪ 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 can feel Jae-ha tense up as he starts stroking him, slowly but firmly. He feels so good against his body like this -- he rally doesn't want to let him go. Is this like that time in the lagoon, perhaps...?]

Oh, I'm not the only one... just look at how hard you are already. [His voice is low and sultry, speaking closely near Jae-ha's ear.] Were you thinking about this the whole way up the mountain? It'd be cruel to make you wait anymore...

[Not to mention for himself as well. He was about ready to burst out of his pants at this rate.]

[Perhaps noting the way Jae-ha was struggling to balance against the altar, he reaches behind him and tugs him even closer.]


Put your arms around my neck... I'm going to hold you up. [With his powers, of course. He needed these antsy hands of his free.]
razzledazzles: (❀ 145)

[personal profile] razzledazzles 2017-11-12 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe I was.

[He was. It's nice hearing his voice so close, as always, but it's making him shiver even more. To him, this feels stronger than anything like the lagoon. This was more specifically intimate, warming his whole body and filling his thoughts with more. Without hesitation, he wraps his arms around Mephisto's neck, letting out a slow breath.

He wants to keep talking like normal, saying things to make this more steamy but not so close and intimate, but... he can't think of anything. He's overwhelmed by feeling and lost in his own thoughts, so he leaves it at that for now, pressing himself even closer to Mephisto as he waits to be lifted.]

[Mephisto keeps one hand on Jae-ha's lower back to give the illusion of supporting him (and prevent any sort of knee-jerk response to being held in a freefall) as he uses his powers to essentially hold Jae-ha up into the air. He'll suddenly feel lighter, and with some gentle coaxing, he'll be pulling his legs up off the ground -- and then bending them up, practically folding Jae-ha in half so he can remain face-to-face while reaching down to tease at him. There's probably some sacred oils or something around here they can use, right...]

My, I hope you're flexible. You're going to be holding this one for a little while.
razzledazzles: (❀ 138)

[personal profile] razzledazzles 2017-11-14 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
You already know I'm flexible.

[He says it with this lewd expression on his face, showing how much he loves it. Really... This is so out in the open. So exposed... He's being violated. He's getting lost in his own thoughts as much as he is in Mephisto's touch. He moans, without holding back, gripping tighter around Mephisto's shoulders.]

But I'm surprised you've let me face you, this time. Did you want to see my beautiful expressions?
meinwaifu: smut (Haha and then what ♪)

[personal profile] meinwaifu 2017-11-14 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe I do. What's the point of a pretty face if I never get to see it?

[That lewd expression is exciting, seeing it and knowing Jae-ha isn't holding back how good he feels right now. Mephisto is the same, though on his own level -- grinning with his face flushed, eyes pointedly leering back at Jae-ha and taking in the sight. He watches and listens to every hitch of his breathing as he pushes his fingers in deeper, finding that spot to drive him wild as he keeps stroking his cock.]

[He wants his own relief, but he's being patient -- or at least, as patient as he's allowing himself right now. And as much as he wants to stare into Jae-ha's eyes right now to overwhelm him further, he can't stop himself from leaning in and stealing his lips with his own once more.]
razzledazzles: (❀ 197)

[personal profile] razzledazzles 2017-11-14 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Another kiss... It's nice, somehow. He can barely hold the form with how his senses are being overloaded, slipping out with moans and gasps against him, but he tries to return it after every time, hands slipping or shifting from around him to try and get a better angle, to get closer, to feel more.

But he already feels so much. It really should be called cheating that Mephisto can hold him up while teasing him with both hands, but it's cheating that he very much approves of. He shudders against him, toes curling in his boots before he reminds himself that he has to be a little more careful with that right foot.]
meinwaifu: smut (Cash or credit? ♪)

[personal profile] meinwaifu 2017-11-14 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Whether Jae-ha is able to return the kiss or not hardly matters to Mephisto -- he can more than handle things for his side, finding that eager and sloppy kiss to be even more arousing than before. It was unusual for him to allow Jae-ha to touch him quite this much, usually doing something to tie his arms back, to take away his full control. Telling him to hold himself up was one thing, but seeing as there was no need for Jae-ha to make the effort, he was really free to touch Mephisto as he pleased right now.]

[But he's going to find it hard to focus on that soon. Breaking the kiss, Mephisto instead presses his forehead against Jae-ha's, pulling back his hand to start opening his pants and pulling out his cock. He won't push in yet, shifting his hips to start grinding shamelessly against Jae-ha's ass, letting hi, feel just how hot and hard he is right now.]

[And all the while-- Jae-ha will get the see the look of unrestrained pleasure on Mephisto's face as well. He's seen it before by now, even with how much Mephisto did enjoy blindfolding him-- but certainly never this close up.]
razzledazzles: (❀ 070)

[personal profile] razzledazzles 2017-11-19 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Jae-Ha is certainly taking advantage of the freedom while he has it. It's slow at first, like he's afraid a touch too adventurous will get his freedom taken away. But then, when this heat only continues, he lets his hands wander, dragging across the skin that he's managed to reveal, and the cloth over Mephisto's back.

That's a good look on Mephisto's face, though he won't admit it aloud. At least not now. Instead, he'll share his own pleasure in noises and his own desperate movements back, eager to feel that length so close against him.

He never thought he'd be thinking such filthy things about a man before, but that surprise is already well behind him, too. Sometimes he just stops and thinks that it's crazy how this started from some silly lagoon, and now they're here getting fake married.

His nails curl more against Mephisto's back, and he pulls, inviting him closer.]


Come on... Samael. [Yeah, he's decided he likes saving that for choice moments.]

[Those wandering hands feel better than he thought they would, and actually make him feel the tiniest bit of regret that he couldn't (wouldn't?) take his shirt off here. Especially when he feels Jae-ha's nails curling in, pulling him ever closer...]

[A shiver runs down Mephisto's spine when he hears his true name spoken like that, licking his lips and grinning back at him. Already begging, without any coaxing? Well now, how can he possibly refuse?]

[Angling his hips, he re-positions himself just enough to slowly start pressing in, groaning as he feels the head of his cock slip past that tight entrance. It was surprising to him that this feeling had so quickly become something familiar he craved, especially after so many years staying essentially celibate (Anime: Not even once).]

[But here-- he lets out a sharp breath, murmuring a soft curse as he presses in deeper. Not moving yet besides that, simply relishing the heat around his cock.]

[personal profile] razzledazzles 2017-11-20 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Good, it's good, and Jae-Ha can't believe it. It's always been good with Mephisto, of course, but it's like each time gets better. It's an unbelievable thing, and now his chest feels like it might burst with lust and some kind of energy. He wants more, he can't get enough, his tongue runs across his own lips as he grips more at him and pulls him impossibly closer still.

Turning his face, he finds whatever part of Mephisto that he can to kiss, making sure that his fangs can make a nice little show in dragging over skin.]

[personal profile] meinwaifu 2017-11-20 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Rather than return to kissing his lips, Mephisto tilts his head so Jae-ha might bite and kiss along his neck. It's not as though Mephisto always went for the neck himself for no reason -- it's something he enjoyed just as much, even if he didn't let himself indulge in it quite as often.The feeling of those teeth have him shivering, and he only just manages to hold himself back from asking for it harder -- that was his job!!]

[Moving both hands to Jae-ha's hips, he presses in until he feels himself flush against Jae-ha's ass, grinding his hips as if he could possibly go in deeper. And with a brief scratch of his nails against his skin, he starts to move -- slow, yet powerful thrusts, letting Jae-ha feel nearly the full length of his cock moving inside him.]

[personal profile] razzledazzles 2017-11-20 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jae-Ha won't be too hard on purpose, but once he feels Mephisto thrusting into him completely like that, his fangs do slip more roughly against the skin of his neck. He gasps against it, but refuses to stop with his kisses. He'll leave a mark if he can get away with it, too. It's only fair to make an exchange like this. Mephisto leaves more than his fair share of marks.]
meinwaifu: smut (Unf ♪)

[personal profile] meinwaifu 2017-11-20 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[And he'll get a nice reward for his effort -- that harder bite bringing out a louder-than-usual gasp from Mephisto's lips, his fingertips digging into Jae-ha's skin as he savors the shiver it sends through his body. Leaving a mark will be easy enough -- but guaranteeing it'll actually stay there is another matter all together, of course.]

[Still, he's not planning on making it very easy for Jae-ha to keep going, keeping up that same rough pace, only changing it up to occasionally grind up inside him. It's so shameless, doing this out here in the open like this. The shaman may be gone, but there's no telling when someone else might walk in to complete their own pact.]

[But maybe that was just part of the thrill.]
razzledazzles: (❀ 153)

[personal profile] razzledazzles 2017-11-24 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[It was completely part of the thrill. With the moon as it is now, he can't think about the realistic side to run ins like that. He only thinks that it's hot, that it's embarrassing and shameful, that he's glad for it. Sinful, but free. That's how he likes it, anyway.

Mephisto can hit that spot so well, filling him up entirely and leaving him gasping hot and wet against his neck. Maybe it's the added thrill, but he feels close already...]


You really are... something else. [He manages some lust filled words against his neck in between his noises, at least.]
