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 say so... I guess there was truly no other way. But what concerns the most is the fact that humans were behind this incident.

[aupologizes]

...yes.

And it is very likely that they will make a second attempt at it, so we must remain cautious.

But for now we celebrate. To a small victory.

[fifthdomonion]

That reminds me! Is that super form of yours what you really look like? You must have your reasons for holding back.

[aupologizes]

Ah, well... it is more of a form of power. My actual true form is not too much different from what I look like now.

[ She is honestly very short and petite in general. ]

I can show you, sometime. I... don't have to hide myself anymore, after all.

[fifthdomonion]

As long as you aren't pushing yourself, then it's fine by me! I've shown off more about myself than I planned to as well.

[His Stigma wasn't something that he liked to use often, but that was an exception back then.]

How 'bout you save it for a moment where the two of us can go out somewhere? The nightlife scene doesn't seem all that bad 'round here.

[aupologizes]

Well, as long as I don't need to take my claws out, then it should be okay--

[aupologizes]

Huh?

[ She pauses, blinking several times, looking at him with a rather incredulous look on her face. ]

Are you... asking me out on a date?

[fifthdomonion]

Haha! Guilty as charged!

[Kevin laughs as he holds his hands up in a "I surrender!" gesture.]

You've been lookin' rather tired lately, so I figure that I can take you out somewhere nice. Just think of it as a date between pals or comrades-in-arms!

[aupologizes]

...oh, it's a friend date!

[aupologizes]

[ but wait a sec, didn't he say-- ]

[aupologizes]

...but you don't need me to be older for that, do you...?

1/3

[fifthdomonion]

Bwah?! Uhhhh....

2/3

[fifthdomonion]

[Crap, crap! If he called it a real date, then he was sure that she would've been scared away...

But calling it a 'friend' date just made the situation more complicated!]

3/3

[fifthdomonion]

W-well, it's more like an insurance policy! I wouldn't want people to think that I'm taking a kid out somewhere to places where adults can hang out! Explaining your situation to bouncers and what not would be waaaay more hassle than it's worth!

[Insta-rebound! Now that sounded reasonable enough!]

[aupologizes]

I see.

[ Does she believe him? Who knows. Nevertheless, she finds herself smiling. ]

I'll have to make sure to prepare myself well, then.
