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 am sleeeeeepy....

[She punctuated that with a yawn.]

I am glad you are back though...You are not hurt are you?

[denouefate]

[He can't help but chuckle at that predictable answer.]

Not even a bit, no. [Mikale looks away only long enough to confirm that Satou and Shugo are still around. Then he pats the spot next to him on the blanket.] Do you need to take a quick nap? I can keep an eye on you if you do.

[veileddreamer]

Good.

[Tau sits next to him, even if she's not planning on staying long. She can hear what people are saying and it makes her nervous. But a break from standing is nice. She picks at a thread on her skirt.]

I will be fine...I am planning to return home...to bed...

[denouefate]

That so..? We can all go up together, then.

[He imagines that the situation back home must have been uncomfortable... Satou gains strength from love, but it wears at her too. The kids are sensitive enough that Mikale is certain they had noticed.

So if Tau has noticed the way people look at them, Mikale would not be surprised either. If she weren't sitting here with him, then Mikale would drop the façade and go set those gossipy people straight.]

It's okay now. We love you, Tau.

[veileddreamer]

I love you too...

[She liked the idea of leaving with her family, but at the same time...]

It is a party for everyone...You do not need to... leave early...

[Softer.]I know my way home...

[denouefate]

Still... It's special to walk home together with your family, right? It's been a while since we all walked home together like that.

I think that would make this party that much more magical. What about you?

[veileddreamer]

[Tau nodded.]

...It...would be...[A yawn.] I still do not wish...for everyone to have to leave early...because of me...

[denouefate]

Would you leave early for your mother and I?

I'm sure your mom is tired too. She needs someone to tell her to go home sometimes, hm?

[veileddreamer]

I was already planning on leaving early?

[She just didn't want her family to miss out because of it.]

...If you guys are tired too then...I would not mind going home together...

[denouefate]

Good. Then when you're ready, we'll go drag your mother home and make her relax, hm? Maybe we can grab that father of yours [shugo] too.

[veileddreamer]

[Tau fidgets for a minute.]

I'm ready now...If that is okay?
