❪ 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.
no subject
[But those words of hers strike a chord in him. He's not sure whether it's the newly acquired dragon blood in his body inspiring that swelling of feelings in his chest, but right now, he doesn't mind either way.]
[For as much as he hates to risk spoiling this sensual mood, right now, he feels inspired to be even more honest with her than before.]
My dear, lady Mipha... [He reaches up to cup his hand over her own against his cheek.] If I may be so selfish... can I truly depend on you to help me? Even if I were to ask something difficult of you... would you lend me your power?
no subject
But this could be a big commitment, you know? There’s no way of telling what kind of favor Mephisto might ask of her. What if it Ms something terrible!! Better take some time and think this through—]
Of course. I’d do my best to help you, no matter what.
[Oh okay or just agree outright. Not that she has any reason to believe he’s untrustworthy in any way, so her easy acceptance and agreement probably isn’t that surprising. Mipha tilts her head, smiling lightly] Did we make a deal?
no subject
It certainly feels that way, doesn't it?
[A deal with a devil, whether she knows it or not. But he has no intention of letting her find out about that... at least, certainly not yet.]
[But he's not going to leave this in vague terms. No, there's a very specific thing he's been meaning to ask, even if the topic is a difficult one. But here, in this warm and gentle mood beneath the light of the moon, he feels he can get the words out without letting his own feelings of anger and frustration shine through.]
...I told you before that this condition of mine [He pulls his hand down and rests it over his chest -- the closest thing she'll get to a hint about why he really didn't want to undress.] is genetic, yes? Everyone in my family has suffered from it in some form or another. But even with how terrible those wounds on my body had been... for my older brother, who is due to awaken from stasis any day now, the condition is nearly ten times as terrible.
[His eyes fall shut as he loops an arm behind her, holding her just a bit closer as it for comfort. Even beyond the base lie holding his story together, there is plenty of truth in his words right now. Just as the pain visible in his features is not something he's not really intending to show.]
But he is not a good person. His pain has long since driven him into madness, and he has committed no shortage of atrocities with his power... but even still. He is my brother. If there truly was a way to save him from that suffering... no matter what consequences it may bring, I would do anything to obtain it.
For you to use that blessed power of yours on such a person... could I truly ask such a thing of you?
no subject
Nearly ten times, though? She remembers the extent of the damage on Mephisto's body and frowns, concerned, but she continues to listen quietly. She's not sure the extent of these atrocities, or what they could have been or anything like that, but... It's family trying to help family. She thinks of Sidon and how much she'd do anything to help him, and vice versa.
Her arms slide around him, press her face briefly against his neck in a comforting, reassuring sort of cuddle and she presses a soft kiss against the flutter of his pulse.] Of course I will still help you.
[Mipha straightens up then to look him in the face, so he knows she's serious.] You want to help your brother, and I find that admirable. I, too, would do anything for my family, for my brother... So when he awakens, please send for me. Perhaps there's still a way to save him from his madness if he were free of that pain. Change is always possible, after all.
[Well alright there were beings like Ganon that existed n the world, but Mipha would like to believe that those were very rare cases.] And if it would alleviate his suffering, and your own, then how could I possibly say no?
1/3
[This feeling he feels swelling in his chest -- it's not really his, is it?]
[The pact he made with Jae-ha was really more detrimental than anything. He can see now that he received far more than just his dragon blood -- but also a very small fraction of his human heart. And at a time like this, it stands so at odds with his demon nature, with his demon heart, that it overwhelms him.]
[Surely that explains why he feels his chest tighten. Why he reaches out and wraps his arms around Mipha and pulls her right up against him, resting his face against her shoulder... and hugs her. It's different than any embrace he's given so far. There's no heat involved, no sensual desire driving his actions.]
[But for reasons he couldn't fully understand, he felt the need to try and convey how he felt at that moment. Words alone simply didn't do it justice.]
...how strange. Truly I never believed for a moment that you would refuse, and yet... it feels as though such a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.
Thank you.
[Was it truly just relief? How much has he worried about what would happen, about what Lucifer would do upon awakening -- if he had all his power, and Mephisto so little of his own...]
[Or did he really care about them more than he thought? His own reaction to Amaimon's disappearance, how much time and effort he out into caring for Rin while he was ill... has he really grown to be that soft?]
[A human heart really was a pesky thing--]
no subject
[The mood whiplash is still taking some getting used to.]
[But uh... to answer Mipha's question earlier, about whether Mephisto struggled with talking about his feelings. The truth was, he did! But showing them was even more difficult...]
no subject
[It might almost be endearing in a weird way, how he can shamelessly feel her up in the middle of a bar, but he spits out one little thank you and he just can't handle it at all.]
--ah, haah... I think I might be a bit more drunk than I thought. Bringing all this up at a time like this-- my, how unsightly...
no subject
Only to be rudely interrupted as Mephisto acts like some startled cat. Mipha sits up, blinking a few times to clear her head, a bit baffled.] That's... That's alright. I'm the one who got us on this topic to begin with.
[Was... Was he embarrassed? Mipha covers her mouth with both her hands, bursting into giggles.] There's no need to apologize! Truly it was quite... Cute? [More giggles. Ahh, Mephisto. You loser.]
no subject
[He's only going to get even more flustered at this rate! Which is difficult enough to reel in without needing to worry about playing up his Nice Guy™ role for Mipha.]
Cute? Don't-- don't be absurd!
[Nah, he's pretty cute when he's like this, even if only because it's such a rare occurrence. Just look how red his face is getting!]
no subject
Are you embarrassed? I apologize; however, it's still true. You can be very adorable when you do not mean to be.
[Well now she's just teasing him. Rude af.]
no subject
You shouldn't call a grown man adorable! Saying something like that... you're only going to make me want to prove you wrong.
[As long as she's still letting him touch her, he's going to take advantage of it -- running his hands down along her thighs, teasing gently with his nails.]
no subject
[It's half playful, half sincere, and her breath hitches at the gentle press of his nails against her skin. Oh, right. They were in that kind of position, weren't they? She remembers now just what they'd been doing before the conversation turned semi-serious.
She also remembers what she'd been considering telling him earlier, and there's a moment of hesitation. See, to her, this didn't really matter, but she knows among humans (and hylians), this might've been a Big Deal.]
I've... never done this sort of thing before. Is that alright? [Because of course his comfort is what she should be worried about here.]
18+ from here as if she hasn't been sitting in his lap the whole time
[And all too quickly, that smile turns into a grin.]
...and that's quite all right, my dear. I'm honored you would have me be your first. [He's not quite virtuous enough to talk her out of it, nor consider that he might be taking advantage of the situation here. Surely she was old enough to make her own decisions--]
[...shit, how old was she again?? It's a good thing he's already had his daily mood swing, so the brief moral panic doesn't show on his face. But it's fine. This is fine. And in a true showing of how fine this is, he decides to go ahead and stop teasing by sliding a hand up between her legs.]
now it's just OFFICIAL.
She relaxes at his acceptance of it though--okay good, he wasn't going to insist she save herself for someone special or anything like that. Which, romantic as the gesture seems, was never going to happen. She'd resigned herself to it and accepted it long, long ago.
There's a brief, fleeting thought given to Mephisto's nails, but she figures he's...experienced enough to be mindful of them, even as she jolts in slight surprise and immediately looks a bit embarrassed for it.] You startled me. [A mumbled explanation as she wets her bottom lip with the tip of her tongue.
Anatomically speaking she's not really different from a human woman, it's just hidden a little better. As she gets more turned on, it'll open and reveal itself further; suddenly flower comparisons make more sense, at least when it comes to zora women.]
Officially Filth™
[Thankfully, his nails won't be a issue at all. He wouldn't exactly be able to wear gloves without puncturing them if he didn't have some method of altering his appearance at will. And seeing as she's already seen him as a dog, he doesn't imagine it'd come as a surprise.]
Oh, did I? [He chuckles, that grin still plastered across his face.] My apologies... but please, tell me to stop if it gets to be too much. I don't want to hurt you, after all.
[He'll save the sadism for his dragon husband.]
no subject
How thoughtful of you. [A smile and she leans in, sliding her arms around his neck and pressing her body against his.] I promise I am not as delicate as I may look, but thank you. [It's getting a little harder to keep her voice steady and composed, but damn if she isn't trying.
She tilts her head up to kiss him again with a lazy air like she has all the time in the world to dedicate to this.
(In the back of her head she's dimly aware again that they're in public, but considering there are far less discreet couples around, she doesn't let the thoughts stick.)]
no subject
[He returns the kiss in much the same way, lingering, and mostly aiming to distract her from his busy hand down below. He parts her lips with his fingers, briefly running them over her clit before seeking out her entrance to tease -- not yet pushing in, but instead feeling out a reaction.]
[But for him, the whole point of doing this so brazenly in public was to hear how she might try and quiet herself -- and so he moves lower, away from her mouth to instead start kissing along her neck, occasionally letting her feel just the faintest brush of those sharp teeth against her skin.]
no subject
Her breath hitches and she tilts her head away so he can get to her neck easier, a muffled little whimper slipping out. Somewhere near-by a man laughs a little too loudly at some joke and Mipha gasps again, her body stiffening in alarm as she remembers where they are.
She turns her head to nip at his ear with her own sharp little teeth and mutters accusingly.] You're a very bad man, and an even worse influence.
no subject
[Still, the direct accusation and nip at his ear has him snickering against her skin -- even as it causes a little shiver to run through his shoulders. He knows it's a joke, but goodness, if she only knew just how accurate of an assessment that was.]
Such heavy-handed accusations... were you not the one instigating in the first place? [He draws his lips along her skin, up towards her chin and to her lips again -- sneaking softly so only she can hear as he looks into her eyes.] You're being just as naughty as I am.
no subject
It's a bit of a thrill to get a reaction out of him too, and now she's starting to realize why he's been having so much fun with it. you know, besides the obvious reasons.]
But you're right, I did start it. [She hums thoughtfully and her smile is a bit bashful and playful] Perhaps I'm the bad influence.
no subject
Oh, but I wouldn't say it's bad at all. I rather like seeing this side of you. [His fingers circle around her clit once more, before finally moving to start pressing up inside her. Though he starts off with two, he's making sure to move slowly, not wanting to hurt her or have her back off.]
There's nothing wrong with indulging like this every now and then, right?
no subject
