【WINDCHIMES EVENT】
damn windchimes
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!

And they have my DAUGHTER!

...And that doesn't strike you as odd? All Fallen Stars except her, and they set this up in what is basically your front yard...
Doesn't it seem like they're baiting you?
[He offers her a hand, partially to help her calm down]
Not to make light of us but you're kinda crazy important, so it'd be bad if something happened. Besides, we're a heck of a lot more tenacious than we seem, and targetting people's loved one is a sure way to get an ass kicking.
[He gives a brighter smile]
It might be hard but I think we'll be okay. We'll need support on this end as it is, right?

[But she does see his point. If it's a trap, then the best way to throw them for a loop is not to fall into it.]
They're luring you all too. You realize that as well, don't you?
no subject
[He says it bluntly. It's like ripping off a band-aid since its a viewpoint he knows most don't appreciate, objective as it is.]
And like I said with as many of us as there are, I think we can manage. Luring a group is different than luring an individual. Harder to account for.
