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!

[As Fauna's rampage ends- Her lightning and sword cutting down every goo monster around her, leaving them destroyed under Satou's powers- she finally calms down, breathing heavily. Her changer ejects the Disc, but she doesn't replace it, letting the special armor fade, showing underneath her armor, just how broken her transformed state is.

But she stops dead as she hears that conversation.

Her daughter.

This is Chron's mother.

And Chron's disappearance was her fault.

Fauna goes very still, like a prey animal seeing a predator. Should she run? No, she should present herself for Satou to take revenge. Or should she simply attack, and let herself be taken out that way...

She's still, unable to move, unable to even answer as the guilt weighs down on her.]

Well, yeah, but we'd need a wh-

[And then she stops, as the very air turns pink - as a great power forms around Pidonus - even into her.

As Satou steps in, Pidonus watches, quietly, slowly moving down to the now-clear ground to let Atsushi stand. Soon after, she's standing down herself, and, as soon as the creature is fleeing, and Satou is asking if people are okay...]

Somehow. Seems I've more to learn.

[But then she notices Fauna freezing. Out of... Fear, maybe? Damn it, that mask concealed her expression, and Pidonus had intentionally gotten out of the habit of trying to read thoughts for a reason. Which left...]
