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!

[ Least harmful? Uh... oops. He's a bit too used to speedy opponents that can dodge that bone attack easily. Ink kinda gives Battler a sheepish smile at that, but well, he supposes if nothing else, the bones would help them bind it up a little better until it gave up.

To be honest he didn't have the faintest idea what banishing this thing was supposed to look like. Nor really any concept of what they were fighting beyond that they were called spirits and the goop was bad. Good to know some things didn't change.

The skeleton couldn't help but stifle a laugh when the woman just up and dropped the man he'd been talking to, but he teleported over beside him, offering a hand to help him up while the woman attepmted restraints. He could probably help her with that, but he also had questions. ]

Makes sense! How do we banish 'em? I just got here like. A couple minutes ago, hehe. Kinda flying blind.

[As he spoke he brandished the paintbrush again, which upon further assessment was actually taller than he himself was. He swung it with ease despite that, ink being slung up onto the creature where it morphed into heavy chains to weigh the creature down and provide some other hold points for the woman's vines]

1/2

HILIIIIIIS--

[Cue Battler being muffled by rose petals after he fell. He glances up to the Furniture...person? Friendly? Still, he takes the hand offered and gets up.]

2/2

[Then he brushed himself off, thinking aloud to himself.]

This is the first battle I've been in since I got here, actually. So having an exact answer--

[Wait. The gears in his brain are turning. This is crazy, but it might just work.]

Ahh, it's useless. Just useless. [He pauses, then looks up at the beast with a confident smirk, before reeling back.]

The spirit before us can be defeated with two good shots to the torso area, and one to the head!

[The blue text - truth - appears around him in elegant Kanji. If he could manage to get this to work...

He points forward.

Go, GO!]
