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!

I mean, we're definitely outside the barrier, though I'm sure somebody's going to decide to go past it to try and confront the tree. It might actually be a good idea, come to think of it, but my usual plans are just hiding from whatever's after me.

[spacialeyes]

Confronting it..? Does it seem to be reacting to your party?

[Yuuto slowly turns away from her, wincing when he looks at the tree.]

Sorry. I don't know what's going on. But as long as the barrier is working... I guess that's all I need to focus on.

[fallmushrooms]

It seems to just... kind of want to be included? Except it looks creepy.

[spacialeyes]

I think so too. It must be hard to be ignored like it's been. I wonder how long it's felt like this?

[fallmushrooms]

I don't know, but... trees do live a long time.

[spacialeyes]

That's true.

[Yuuto sighs, turning his blinded gaze towards the tree. He squints, trying to see something despite his state.]

... It's a well loved tree. Across all sorts of worlds and times, that tree has always loved this town. It's unfair how things have turned out for it.

[fallmushrooms]

You have a point. Even with all the problems going on with this, it's still cruel to blame the tree, right? I mean, especially since it's alive. Like, alive alive, not the sort of alive trees usually are, which is just as alive as us now that I think of it, so maybe there's a better way to put that.
