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!

    Well, if you go to the top of the highest building you can throw all the posters and surprise a bunch of people.

    That could work...

    [Tau could actually think of a few ways that that might not work, but she could do the same about hanging posters up as well, so she stays quiet about that.]

    So we should...put posters up...and throw them off buildings...aaand...

    and hand them to people, maybe? Is there anything else?

    [ Inaba's done the whole 'throwing things from a tall building before to get attention' so she absolutely knows what she's doing. Although the conditions do have to be a certain way... ]

    I mean, that's basically it. It's not like it's rocket science. I suppose the other way to get people to know would be through social media --

    Er. Is there even social media here?

    [personal profile] veileddreamer 2022-05-28 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
    There is social media. I had forgotten about it.

    [She does have accounts on social media platforms, but has been too timid to try and do anything on them, so they sit sad and empty.]

    . . . I'll have to remember that for next time. Will come in handy when it comes to advertising stuff.

    Hopefully...There will not be a next time.

    [Though Tau was sure there would be.]

    But apparently social media is "fun" regardless...

    [personal profile] dereban 2022-05-30 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
    Until all the mysteries are solved, there certainly will be...

    Oh, social media is both fun and also rife with drama.
    veileddreamer: (frown)

    [personal profile] veileddreamer 2022-05-30 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
    Yeah...

    [She was quick to give up on trying to be optomistic.]

    ...That sounds....exhausting...to be honest.

    [ NOT GIVING UP TRYING TO BE OPTIMISTIC....... ]

    It can be, sometimes. But it's not all bad. There's a lot of good to find.
    veileddreamer: (uhm)

    [personal profile] veileddreamer 2022-05-30 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
    I suppose...It would make sense considering...that so many people spend their time on it...
    dereban: (pic#14190201)

    [personal profile] dereban 2022-05-30 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
    Well, yeah. But social media's not the only good thing about the internet.

    Yes, I am aware...I stream many shows...
