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!

    ... And your skill, Ms Tau?

    [Nope! No running from your brother's doppelgänger.]

    [Shoot. So close.]

    I can...do...things...

    [She realizes that probably wouldn't cut it either.]

    I am best at mid range combat...if a fight happens...I am okay...at close range, but it would not be best...

    ... Is that so?

    [She has a secret, doesn't she? Leo won't push on it for now, but it's intrigued all the same. Whatever her power is must be something she either isn't proud of or doesn't feel safe sharing.

    He can relate, actually. And fortunately for them both, he has experience in handling kids now. That leads to a much calmer approach than he would have had two years ago.]


    I'll be fighting at close range myself. My companion is rather scary, or I would introduce you ahead of time. [and he doesn't mean elliot!] But perhaps we will find ourselves as complimentary battle partners, Ms Tau?

    [With her most comfortable at mid-range and Jabberwock likely being close range.]

    Yes.

    [And she doesn't bother ellabortating. She will take him not pushing any further with silent gratitude.]

    I will...do my best...to watch your back...

    I feel much safer knowing that. Thank you, Ms Tau.

    [He'll drop the subject there. She's clearly younger than him and he doesn't pick on kids.]
