【WINDCHIMES EVENT】






The Bonds That Tie Us


It’s the later end of June now and the summer heat is getting pretty stupid. Though Wind and Water spirits still bring cool breezes and rain showers, most of civilians hang around the pools or in their homes with wide open windows. There’s been a burst of curiosity regarding a new shrine that is being built for the Kami of Sin, especially with exciting talk of an upcoming festival. Whether intended or not, this eager gossip has led to the ghost stories falling in popularity. And now, the Fallen Stars are here to put those nasty Rumors to rest once and for all.


This event is split into a few parts and forward dated for convenience. It will end right before the Watanagashi Festival.


The Windchimes Rumor
The main Rumor for this event is the Windchimes Rumor. Though the scam operation will be successful in restoring the Love Kami's faith and discouraging the sale of more windchimes, the lingering effects of the curse will remain.


On the night of June 17th, a sudden meteor shower will be announced over the news. Everyone in the city gathers outside that night for the chance to see shooting stars and the civilians encourage their Fallen Star neighbors to participate. It's a peaceful night and nothing will seem out of the ordinary.


On the morning of June 18th, this will prove to have been misleading. Characters whose names were written thoughtfully on windchimes will have vanished overnight. Their beds are empty and there is no sign of a struggle. A quick investigation will find that the windchime hung in their honor has turned pitch black and somehow negates light rather than reflecting it. It's quite plain to see that the windchimes are involved in the disappearances.


Fortunately, there will be methods to find the missing characters. But the missing aren't helpless either.


Missing characters will wake up in a strange facility, lightly bound and sore from travel. They will be able to band together and not only escape the facility, but finally investigate the group that is causing Rumors.


In other words, there will be two groups for the event. Group A with be focused on action and fighting, while Group B will be focused on investigating a clue gathering.


This part of the event will not immediately go live, giving players some time to plan which group they want to be in. If you want to be in Group B but did not have your characters' name hung up, there will still be ways to get in Group B!



!
Organization Rules:

  • Please limit yourself to 2 characters max for Group B.
  • Please understand that Group B is in a disadvantageous position power-wise.
  • The event is split into pieces so that I (the mod) can keep the timeline in order.

    I'm Fauna. I'm a fighter, and I'm strong. I can't heal, but I can defend others if I have to... but I'm best on attack. I won't lose in a fight.

    I'm looking for Tau.

    Tau-chan? Isn't she young?

    [...]

    Wait, what about Dazai-san? [what about akutugawa???]

    Dazai and Akuwagata are strong.

    [She's... assuming, anyway. But Dazai went apeshit on a goo monster with a shotgun.]

    Tau's younger. And I've already caused problems for their family. I'm not going to let anything happen to her again.

    [Dazai and Akutagawa can take care of themselves, in other words. She trusts them.]

    That might be true, but they're still missing...

    You're right that we should prioritize the ones who can't take care of themselves, but- For someone to take those two, they must be really strong. We need to be really careful.

    [personal profile] nightwild 2022-06-14 10:11 am (UTC)(link)
    Maybe.

    Dazai has a gun, though, right? So he's probably fine. And Akuwagata has his whole...

    [She waves her arms around vaguely, trying to mimic his weird cutting power.]

    Honestly, I'd bet the enemies aren't strong at all, they just have a weird power.

    Fauna-chan. 'Weird powers' aren't separate from the people who wield them. They're a part of us. Thinking that way... I don't think it's a good idea, especially in this situation.

    [...

    wait.]


    Dazai-san carries his gun with him? Shouldn't we be locking up our weapons after work? You know, at the office... That's what we're doing, right??

    What are you talking about?

    [Fauna just.

    Reaches offscreen behind her and pulls out... a large katana? The katana from her lion form. Notably, it was not there before.]

    But! You stopped by the Agency to pick that up, right? It isn't like you go to bed and wake up armed, right?

    [She's staring at Atsushi like he just started speaking an alien language.]

    Are you saying you don't?
    undermoonlight: (116)

    [personal profile] undermoonlight 2022-06-14 10:28 am (UTC)(link)
    NO, I— Uuugh. We’re going to have a lot to talk about later!!

    [personal profile] nightwild 2022-06-14 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
    ... Do you need to borrow a sword?
    undermoonlight: (pic#15700849)

    [personal profile] undermoonlight 2022-06-14 10:39 am (UTC)(link)
    NO!!!

    I... I have that covered with the Tiger, remember? And you better not be offering because you're carrying TWO swords, Fauna-chan!
    nightwild: (pic#15737819)

    [personal profile] nightwild 2022-06-14 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
    Three, actually.

    Not to mention all the rest.
    undermoonlight: (pic#15700309)

    [personal profile] undermoonlight 2022-06-14 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
    ... I give up. We're breaking so many laws.

    Dazai-san, what would you do about this?
    nightwild: (pic#15737808)

    [personal profile] nightwild 2022-06-14 10:50 am (UTC)(link)
    Laws are just for the pigs anyway.
    undermoonlight: (pic#15700310)

    [personal profile] undermoonlight 2022-06-14 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
    [Siiiiighs.]

    Anyway. If you focus on Tau-chan, then I'll find Dazai-san. His ability could be really helpful- We might need it!
    nightwild: (pic#15737813)

    [personal profile] nightwild 2022-06-14 10:57 am (UTC)(link)
    ...

    Dazai has an ability besides the gun?
    undermoonlight: (257)

    [personal profile] undermoonlight 2022-06-14 11:03 am (UTC)(link)
    ... what kind of operation are we even running?

    Just- Don't worry about him! I'll get him!
    nightwild: (pic#15425267)

    [personal profile] nightwild 2022-06-14 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
    Got it. I'll focus on Tau.

    And then we're going to destroy the whole operation that took them.
