SOME (not-so-helpful) MUSHI INFO

[fill_the_blanks]

Who: Anyone
When: Day 148, late-morning-ish
Where: Bulletin Board
What: What even is happening.

[SO WHILE ALL THIS CRAZINESS IS GOING ON, someone has stuck several sheets of paper to the bulletin board and written out in bold, brush-stroked characters:

Careful if you encounter anything weird today. It might be a mushi. They're kind of like spirits or lower life forms and interacting with them carelessly can be harmful. Seems like they're doing pretty well in Thusia. Depending on your sensitivity you might not be able to see them though.

I don't really know much about them, unfortunately. The ones I'm aware of so far are the Kouki, which manifests as light when you close your eyes, and some kind of mushi that deafens you if it gets in your ear. Don't stare directly at the light by the way, you'll forget natural light or something like that. Go ahead and add anything weird you've encountered here if you want.

Anyway, I forced that shrub god to take a letter to the people who know how to deal with these things. If he's really a god of preservation help should be on the way.

((ooc: FEEL FREE TO USE THIS POST TO LEAVE INFORMATION/ENCOUNTERS YOUR CHARAS ARE HAVING. Also feel free not to notice this notice until after your chara is hit with a mushi if you want them to be affected!))

OK, Kon's real Kouki thread

[After putting that notice up, Kon is heading down to the Level 2 factory area. It's a corner of the HQ that tends to get less traffic than most spaces, so he'd moved that mushi box down here yesterday and peeked at the contents and to try to make sure the bottles or cases that weren't already popped open were still sealed.]

[I found a set of new flowers; they could be local or they could be these mushi things. So far, it's just made my vision a lot better, but I'm waiting for bad effects.

Just in case, I'm staying close to HQ. Shame; I could get a lot of mapping done with eyes like these. -- Zel]

[...oh someone has put up another piece of paper. That's... nice]

[thevineintervention]

[ She has a thick shawl over her shoulders, and is copying out of a small personal journal with a quick, loose scrawl ]

. . . located approximately 60% of the way through the ear canal. This location does not seem to differ between humanoid and canine hosts. Total deafness seems to occur within . . .


[ She's also tacking up a number of crude-but-passable anatomical sketches. ]

I touched a rainbow... it's quite pretty. I think it's still around.

[Writes that in as she speaks, and signs her name.]

[responsetoregret]

[He's staring at this notice, rubbing at his head.]

Thusia...? What...?

[Paaaaause for a long time.]

[Then he leans in and writes something.]

'There may be one that affects memory.'

[SO AFTER HIS LAST MISTAKE, Kon is just gonna.. head back upstairs, shielding his eyes and occasionally trying to squint through his fingers and flinching at the light]
