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!

[FAUNA.......... chron worries. maybe she's just never been bitten..???

But Fauna goes and says something very true. Something that has Chron brushing back her brother's hair from his face and smiling fondly at him.]

Yeah. I'm really lucky... I would never have imagined having a family. And Dimi especially... I hope he knows that we're happy that he's stuck with us.

[nightwild]

Oh, he knows now, anyway.

[Fauna's giving her big villain grin again.]

It's funny to just let him talk and trap himself in his own big words, after all.

[omichron]

That's good.

[She's really relieved. Knowing all that she does about the boys, Chron can't stop herself from worrying about them. Even Dimitri, who tries so hard to be standoffish. Or maybe 'especially Dimitri.']

Thank you, Fauna... Could I ask a weird favor?

[nightwild]

Of course. Anything, just name it.

[It's instant. No hesitation. She owes Chron that much, for causing her to vanish like that...]

[omichron]

Keep an eye on my silly siblings? They haven't really had normal lives, so they're shit at friend making sometimes.

[nightwild]

Of course.

Though I imagine one of them in particular is going to make it as hard as possible. [MR. INVISIBLE DIMITRI.]

[omichron]

Yeah, probably. He's so stubborn about it too.

[Chron sighs in fake annoyance.]

But he must like you, or he'd just go invisible and ignore you.

[nightwild]

... You sure? I'm pretty sure he hates me. And just wants to piss me off or something...?

[omichron]

He's just grumpy. Like a cat. A silly, grouchy kuroneko.

[nightwild]

[She goes quiet for a minute... before she has to ask.]

What about you?

[omichron]

Hm? What do you mean, Fauna?

[nightwild]

[It's awkward. It's honestly scary to ask where she stands with someone. Are they friends? How do you know? What if they're not?

... It's easier to chicken out.]

... He loves you a lot, I mean. So... Do you have someone to keep an eye on you, too? I don't know if you need it, but...

[omichron]

Eh? I thought I had you?

[nightwild]

W- Huh?

[......... wait, hold on

her face starts turning red.]

Are you sure- I mean, look what happened this time?! Are you sure you want me to do it?!

[omichron]

I mean, I'm back now? So yeah! I think you're a good choice.

[nightwild]

[help

how does she handle this]

You're so weird.

[SHE HUFFS, LOOKING AWAY.]
