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 if it's not?

[Hillis flips the chessboard back around,] You'll knock them around, as you say, and further their suffering. We've dragged them along for long enough now.

[checkmater]

If it's not, then....we can defend ourselves as required. But...

[It's the same problem he ran into time and time again. He doesn't want anyone to be the culprit, but no one can't be the culprit. There always has to be someone getting hurt.

and it can't always be him, as much as his hero complex demands it.]

....It's a last resort, not a first one. Only if they're truly aggressive.

[thesolitaryrose]

... An acceptable response, I suppose.

But they have one chance. Even if they are crying, I don't have to be generous with my forgiveness. Neither do you.

[checkmater]

[It's progress. A compromise. He'll take it.]

Mmm. You don't. I don't, either. I'd prefer to, but if I'm in a corner, I'm in a corner. I might be a bit more generous, but...

I trust that you'll make sure I don't get in over my head if it gets real bad. Ihihihi.

[thesolitaryrose]

Are you planning to need my help, Battler? That's not very wise. I do not believe I give off the impression of being someone who cares?

[checkmater]

You do not.

To most people.

And I'm not planning on needing it. Ideally, I'll be able to handle this on my own, but...if it comes down to it, I've got faith that you'll at least care a little bit about that. The tiniest bit.
