【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.

    [The string is warm to touch, but doesn't physically exist.

    Satou notes his expression. As much as she appreciates the power that she can take from Elliot's love, it isn't something that she wants. He's still so young. He shouldn't be going through this to begin with.]


    Give the spirit that charm and have it take my magic. It'll be temporary, but it'll be stronger.

    -- But don't make a hasty decision. Whether you form a contract or not, you will rescue him. I guarantee it.

    [If Leo wasn't in danger Elliot would probably be fascinated, but right now he can't get distracted. He has one concern that he has to voice.]

    Will the spirit be alright if I do that? Or would a contract be better?

    [The idea of doing a contract terrifies him. But he's become accustomed to the shy and kind spirit, and if it's his own choice then he can handle it.]

    Both the charm and contract is better, but don't push yourself. Your spirit friend loves you enough to wait.

    [Satou is 100% guessing that Elliot befriended the spirit from the elevator. But they did seem to leave an impression on each other. Hearing Elliot's concern for the spirit in this situation does make Satou's heart ache with concern.]

    You're doing enough already. I'll turn your love into magic using that charm, so whatever you choose... You'll both be okay.
