A Twisted Rumor

It's the day after the Fallen Star Meeting regarding the recent rumor. As morning brightens the city's night, stories are making their way from the bottom level to the top.

"The cherry blossom tree isn't going to hurt us, is it? It looks so scary."

For those who have learned the truth about rumors, this may especially distressing to hear. There's no time to wait: If anything is going to be done to save the tree's spirit, it must be done now.

The current plan is to address the tree spirit's wish to be remembered and acknowledged by holding a picnic by the lonely cherry blossom tree. Fallen Stars hope to reenact the lively Reblooming parties that had been happening on the upper levels all month. This tree, though the origin of that tradition, exists at the bottom level of Starsand City: Where spirits and kami are still feared. The hope is that this party will soothe the raging spirit and bring it peace... and, ideally, bring back all of the people who have recently gone missing.

But the meeting also ended on a note of caution. If the spirit will not peacefully give up the missing people, then more drastic measures may need to be taken. And... Spoiler alert, but this log is titled tree FIGHT.

Timeline of Events

This log will operate a bit different from normal! It's also an experiment, so if it doesn't work then apologies in advanced! In order to maintain an easy-to-follow timeline of events, there will be a top-level for each stage of the encounter. As the encounter progresses, new top-levels will be added to reflect each stage of the Rumor.

Character top-levels are still welcome, but please try to use the top-levels for time sensitive threads. Threadjacking is welcomed & encouraged, though please be respectful of one another. And of course, make use of the feedback section!

Backtagging is also still welcome. Event stages will be staggered over the course of the next week & past threads still have time to make an impact. Please don't feel rushed!

Questions & Answers

[berriah]

Any questions about the prompts, event, etc. that would make roleplaying easier for you!

[aupologizes]

OH BOY.

Trying to get to these before I pass out.

- Okay, I'm asking this one because it may or may not be relevant in a fight: how much Starling is too much Starling and what effects would happen by eating too much. Asking for Hanyuu, specifically. Also can Hanyuu summon the onigari-no-ryuuou? (I probably won't use it for This Specific Fight but just for my reference.)
- Echidna both 1) has magic 2) is the Witch of Greed so like, information is kind of in her jurisdiction and 3) has actually created spirits from scratch so she'd probably be able to notice it but is there anything that she would sense with the shift coming from the following sources:

The tree itself

The goo

Any outside source that outside of the above.
I'm talking about both magical and spiritual shifts, here.
- Also for prompt D, when the people rise is there anything to be sensed there as well? Like, are the familiar faces pinging anything re: their souls?
- And for prompt D: are there any commonalities on anything that they whisper out?

[melancholie]

A: How much Starling can Hanyuu eat?

Hanyuu can eat 3 pieces per day before she starts to feel unwell. On the 3rd piece, she'll already begin to feel sick. The Starling will fill a kami with so much power that by the 3rd one their body starts to deteriorate from the inside-out and they'll use their awareness of the physical world (see Yuuto.)

Yuuto or Dimitri will likely step in if they sense her eating too many and try to stop her.

Onigari-no-ryuuou?

Yes.

Echidna will notice:

• The energy burst was not from the spirit, but from the Prompt C monster.
  
• The goo is filled with spirit magic.
  
• The tree is dying.
  

What do Prompt D people look like?
They can be recognized as people from town, but something is very clearly off. Their eyes are white holes, their mouths as gapping open and white, and the proportions of their limbs are strange.

Not all of the whispers can be heard, but those that can have a common theme of "My wish was granted. I exist!" which goes from excitement to horror.

important question: are there grills at the hanami
