【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!

JUNE 18th - REUNION
no subject
[Leo approves of Tau pulling back. It's a lot easier for everyone involved if she walks on her own. Having established that he's useless, Leo only follows behind with a rebellious step. He, too, glares at Mu as they pass.]
Get your act together by the time I get back here, or you're next. [this is a threat.
He adds in a snapping tone:] And you can keep that one. An Elliot who is that quiet isn't Elliot at all.
no subject
Mu is tied up? She's still trying to create illusions, but the effort gradually dies down. She's left stunned, watching as they leave her and their loved ones.
Far down the hall, she hears a voice. It's the same one that she tried to recreate, but there is more than one emotion in his call. There's love, worry, fear, and hope as he shouts:
"Oneechan! Don't listen to him! I'm not creepy at all!"
oh. there's stupid in there too.]
no subject
Yuuto-nii!
[She pauses and looks back at the two.]
I am sure this one is real. You were right, Leo, he came.
[And then she's taking off again. She's not very fast, with her short legs, but the effort is there.]
no subject
Meeting someone who looked almost exactly like him would be... an experience.
Still, he'd made a promise to protect Tau and he'd follow through with it regardless of what happened. He'd just need time to himself after this blew over to pick up the pieces.
He doesn't verbally respond, as she'd addressed Leo, not himself, but he does swiftly follow her, not unlike the guard dog he often likens himself to. ]
no subject
As they turn the corner, he prepares to summon Jabberwock if things look dangerous-]
no subject
[Yuuto is hurt, stressed, and sad. He has a lot of despair weighing on him and guilt to match. But for Tau, he stores all of that away and smiles. She seemed to do the same when he was a child, so it's his turn to repay the favor.
He runs the rest of the way to her, though clumsily. Rather than follow the illusion's cue and kneel down to her level, Yuuto uses his power and strength to pick Tau up. She's still getting a hug as he tries to judge whether she'd like to stay carried or be immediately put down.]
We're together again! I'm sorry it took me so long!
[His pink-gold eyes flit gratefully to Akutagawa and Leo.] Oh! You found friends even here! Hello!
no subject
Oh, thank -- [ No, she's not cursing in front of Tau. ] --goodness that the fake Yuuto didn't fulfill that girl's weird delusional "this could belong on AO3" fanfiction ideas.
no subject
[After a moment of hugs, she starts wiggling to be put down. Even after she gets put down though, she's gonna hold onto him.]
Yes! I like them. Leo is smart and has a big friend, and Akutagawa is really strong! And they refused to leave me behind! They are like princes!
[She looks over Yuuto's shoulder at Inaba.]
Oh, you brought icepack girl with you. Thank you for before by the way. I hope my brother has not been giving you too much trouble.
no subject
He doesn't like how Yuuto's looking at him. It's more friendly than he's used to seeing on Atsushi's face. The eyes are slightly a different color, which is perhaps the only major difference appearance wise between the two. It's not enough to offset the fact that it looks like Atsushi is the one smiling at him. He averts his eyes after a moment to keep himself from being needlessly violent. ]
Hello.
[ Not the friendliest greeting, but it's better than ignoring him. Inaba provides a timely distraction and while he's staring at her like she has two heads, Tau goes on and says. That. ]
... I have never once been likened to a prince before in my life. I'm very certain Dazai would laugh at the notion.
[ And Atsushi, and likely the entire ADA. In fact the only one that he could see not laughing at that was Higuchi, who would likely agree for all the wrong reasons. ]
no subject
Princes, are we? I'll have to tell Elliot.
[Bringing up his friend's name is a self-reminder: As lovely at this scene is, he needs to keep going. Elliot could come barreling down the halls at any moment and Leo doesn't want him to cross paths with that Mu girl.
Focusing on Inaba, he prompts an introduction with;] Is "Icepack Girl" okay, or do you have a warmer name?
no subject
When he notices Akutagawa looking at him, Yuuto tries to catch his eye and smile. But his entire expression lights up when Tau describes them as 'princes.' He knows that is a high honor and they must have done something to win her over.]
Amazing! Thank you both so much- Really, truly! I owe you so much!
With two princes and Inaba-san on our side, we'll have no problem getting out of here. [This time he bends to her level, putting his hands on her shoulders.] Thank you for holding on until I got here. Let's go home, oneechan.
no subject
[ She felt that light kick, physically, but the pain isn't felt, an odd sensation, truthfully.
Actually, given the whole 'prince' conversation she is definitely not letting anybody know her first name now. There would be so much bullying. She sighs, straightening herself out a bit before sporting a more relaxed smile. ]
It's Inaba. Written with the kanji for 'rice plant' and 'leaf'. But yeah, Yuuto's right. We should get out of here.
no subject
[She nodded at Leo.] You should. Maybe he will start calling you a prince too.
Nice to meet you, Inaba. I am Tau Yumeno.
[She starts fidgeting at the mention of home.]
...Can we get home? [She's still not sure about that part actually.] We tried breaking the ceiling...and it did not work...
