Who: Anyone
When: Day 149, afternoon and on
Where: Around
What: the ~~doctors~~ Mushishi are finally here

[So it's been a couple days since the infestation took hold. The mushi seemed to have latched on to Thusia's enhancement of growth and the way they've grown and multiplied is unprecedented in their own world. For many people, this means that their conditions worsened quickly. But now, the price of that speedy growth is starting to take it's toll. For those who are lucky, what they're affected with starts to fade naturally, or the mushi that they're infected with starts to reach the end of its life cycle before more damage can be done.

For those less lucky... It's taken a couple days and a lot of cajoling a certain surly god for assistance, but the mushishi (Ginko, Tanyuu, and Ahito) are finally here. After taking a while to look around and evaluate the situation, they set up by the bulletin board and at the first opportunity there will be fliers posted around the HQ with instructions on how to treat some of the problems being caused by the mushi. In other cases they may be wandering around looking for the difficult cases that need treatment right away. EITHER WAY THEY'RE HERE TO HELP THOSE WHO CAN BE HELPED.]

[Ahito | Ginko | Tanyuu]

((OOC: Ginko, Tanyuu, and Ahito will be making top comments that people can hit up, either for treatment or to ask questions ICly! Just let them know in your tag where your charas ran into each other. Thread-pace will likely be extremely chill.

FOR PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT TO TREAT THEIR CR, feel free to start off a thread with reading over the instruction postings, and I will come provide flavor tags to help you out! Also, some mushi will not need treatment for their effects to fade, so if your chara has one of those mushi, I will let you know in flavor text if/when you tag, or you're welcome to give me a tap on IRC or plurk to ask.

ETA: I am going to bed but I will make sure to pick up with anyone needing flavor text to resolve their mushi situation.))

Who: All of Thusia
When: Day 148, all day
Where:All over HQ
What:

Since the day before, the strange sightings have certainly increased, and those of you sensitive to such maybe-spiritual things have probably been wondering what the balls is even going on. Surely your spiritradars have been going crazy!

Just overnight, perhaps those of you closing your eyes for a few moments caught the sight of... something, something gold and lively. A line into a trickle into a creek, the tiny flow of light grows as much as its weakened state allows. For some people, it's hard to look at, as bright and beautiful as it is. For others, however...

By morning, things have certainly changed. Those who cannot see it can certainly feel it-- the movements of something in the air, the activity, the excitement of some sort of new life going about its business.

But maybe they're just annoying insects, who can really say?

(( OOC: Mushi event start! Here is the list of mushi that are free to play with to your heart's content! If you want it randomized, you can ping me(Karri) or Link(when she's around) or just toss some numbers into RNG. If you have any questions, PM me on IRC or ping me on plurk! Email works too.

Please note that all effects are heavily increased by Thusia's growth rate-- so what might normally take days or weeks could take a matter of hours. Unless fixed, of course. ))

Who: People
When: Day 147, morning and on
Where: 3rd Level
What: Something odd?

[So hey. People in apartments A through H on Level 3 may be experiencing a bit of oddness. Any plant-life that they've recently gathered and brought back to their apartments seems to remain unusually fresh, or in some cases even start developing shoots and sprouts not long after they're brought back. Plants that are potted seem even more vibrant and healthy than even Thusia's naturally vigorous flora might account for (especially if those potted plants have been cleansed already).

AND for those people who are sensitive to the natural world, or sensitive to spirits and that sort of thing, they may notice, when walking through that particular hall or hanging out near or in the baths, that they might start seeing things out of the corner of their eyes. Something barely there, or wiggling or drifting and disappearing, like the specks one sometimes sees in their own eyes.]

((ooc: Just a bit of foreshadowing mingle-thing for the Mushi Event this Saturday! Feel free to notice the slight surge of nature-y-ness! Or use the post to play with other mingle things.))

When: Day 146, afternoon

[Today, there are spiders.

THERE ARE SPIDERS EVERYWHERE.

Maybe they are on your walls. Maybe they are on your face! Or in your hair, or in your food . . . !]

Who: Anyone
When: Day 146, morning
Where: Portals
What: A not-so-long awaited return

[So for those who were curious about that counter that said "6 days" a couple days ago in the portal room next to the level 3 baths, the numbers on it have been jumping around the last couple of days, up and down, as if giving a live update of the haggling that's been going on behind the scenes.

Today the numbers run all the way down to zero suddenly and then is replaced with the following:

"Duration: approx 2-3 days"

With that the portal surface starts to ripple in the way that indicates that it's become permeable, and those who wander by the area may start to get the distinct smell of salty ocean air coming through it. Those on this side who try to push through it will find that although their hand disappears through the shadow layer of the portal, something that feels sort of like saran wrap blocks their hand on the other side, stretching under their weight but not letting them through.

Not so for the other side though, and if people stick around long enough they might get a surprise.]

((ooc: OK. Pre-visit threading if you're so inclined! Otherwise everyone is free to comment to this post (normal residents too, of course)! Good-enders, please indicate you're visiting in your header so people can spot you easily. You will be allowed to visit and post freely for 2-3 IC days, which translates to maybe a little more than a week OOCly.

Questions go here.))

What:

[One very worn out Servant is coming in from a day of hard work (but apparently fruitless work, considering he's not carrying anything).

He might just stop you!]

Excuse me, may I ask you a question?

Who: Sleepy people
When: Day 144, early evening and onward into night
Where: HQ
What: Dream post!

[With the semi-gloom lasting all day for the last couple of days, it might feel difficult to stay awake. It'd be nice just to curl up in your blankets somewhere, and perhaps some are turning in early because of the weather. Either way, those who fall asleep tonight find themselves inclined to dream. And those who dream will find that it becomes difficult to tell where their own dreams end and someone else's dream begins.]

((OOC: SO IT'S A DREAM POST!

For those of you who have never participated in a dream post, everyone interested in running a dream for their character will make a top-level comment and people comment to that to be in that character's dream. There are basically no rules about how it works! Be a lucid dreamer, don't be, figure it out halfway through, push and pull between who controls the dream. w/e have fun! If you need an OOC excuse to be asleep you can assume Rew's power just made your character unreasonably tired at some point. Solitary dreamers may remember the impression of rising ocean waters and life blooming in its depths when they wake up, though Rew himself doesn't show.))

When: Day 144, morning
Where: HQ
What: Some more intros

[It seems like some stragglers from last night's arrivals might be showing up at the shrines this morning.

Meanwhile, down on the 3rd level, at the portal room (that empty room next to the baths), a god is putting up a counter similar to the one that indicates when the portal to the rainforest ruins opens (morning and evening on even numbered days). Shadows slide up the wall and form around the existing counter, expanding it so that there is room for the new information:

"6 Days" ]

[ What are you up to tonight, dear citizens of Thusia?

Perhaps one might watch the stars for a while despite the chill, until the clouds begin to roll in sometime past midnight-- a light flurry of snow falls, but it's become too warm to stick. ]

Where: PLACES
What: Some coma'd assholes not being in comas anymore

[In a certain Sparkly apartment, a sleeping tinydemon blinks awake slowly, staring at his ceiling with some amount of consternation.]

[AND MEANWHILE, in an manner comically similar to his first foray into the afterlife, a merpire stumbles rather ungracefully out of Pi-Lambda, hand braced against a wall for support and dripping wet from head to toe. He looks entirely put out, but... he at least has clothes on this time......]

How many goddamned times...

(( HEADING OUT FOR A BIT, pick ups later ))

panumbra

When: Day 141, Late-morning and onward

[Over in the common area on Level 3, at least half of the space, including the public kitchen, seems to have been taken over by Maid or Host Cafe stations. The areas have been sectioned off tastefully with dark drapery or folding screens, and each station has it's own service area where menu items can be prepared or stored. Ingredients for various savory appetizer dishes are provided by Hok, and Luna and Albinia are catering pastries and ice creams. Selyir, of course, is providing teas, both hot and cold.

Slim looking black tables, plain with only a bit of flair on their feet, are set up throughout the area for customers to sit at and wait. There is even a line of them by the windows so people can look out over the hills while they enjoy their orders.]

((ooc: This one's the actual event post! Since the main purpose of the event is to give people a chance to thread with characters and players they don't normally interact with, I recommend logging on to #thusia in IRC so that you can get to know or chat with the player you're paired with! If IRC isn't your preferred method of contact, feel free to refer to the contact spreadsheet for other ways to get in touch with the other player. If you'd like to poke at the maids and butlers, check out the customer instructions!

ETA: OK GUYS, at this point people don't have to sign up anymore, you can just tag in to whoever you like! If you'd like to participate as a customer with cue-card things, try to tag someone you haven't played off of before, and you can roll your cards with the RNG and this list. IF YOU'D LIKE TO BELATEDLY CONTRIBUTE YOUR OWN CUES/PROMPTS like the ones I gave people, you can also add those on the list.))

[And then some chick strolled into HQ, wrapped up snug in a travelling cloak. There's a leather (hand-made . . . ?) pack slung over her shoulder, and it clinks gently with every step she takes.]

Finally! Thought I was gonna freeze m'balls off.

Who: you
When: Day 134, afternoon
Where: out in the snow
What:

[The snow continues to fall around the headquarters though it has turned into a gentle thick cover. Outside, a strange noise can be heard on the winds, and if you're at a window or outside, you'll eventually begin to see large clusters of jellyfish-like creatures floating and bobbing through the falling snow in a slow rising and falling movement.

If you go out to get a quick look at them, be warned though, like jellyfish, these creatures trail stinging tendrils beneath them.]

[INTRO: Clear]

When: Day 130, bright and early!!!
Where: THUSIA
What: EVENT END

[Did you enjoy the party, Thusia?

No?

That's a shame. It's over now, at any rate. The very moment the sun breaks over the horizon, all of you are quite back to the way you were before - putting aside any injuries/hickeys/drunken spring break-esque tattoos - like it never happened at all! Except that it did happen, of course. And you remember all of it. But you know.

If you did experience a change, you'll find - attached to your clothes, in your apartment, somewhere - a scrap of paper. It says on one side, in messy handwriting:]

THANKS FOR PLAYING

oi_theoi

Who: Anyone
When: Day 127, throughout the day
Where: Anywhere
What: What indeed

[Something seems to buzz in the air today... Those who wish the gods hadn't brought them to Thusia (against their will) may feel a stirring around them. Not a physical breeze, but a pressure on their minds. A presence. If they're particularly resentful, they may find that the presence feels quizzical, curious, maybe a little invasive. They may find that something seems to ask them, "If you could change it, how would you rather it had gone?" sounding like their own voice in their head.

Anyone standing near them may experience a brief flash of what their answer would be--the faces of loved ones waiting, the peace of darkness and rest, maybe even some short fantasy about being rescued from death in their own world and finishing what they couldn't before...

It may be unpleasant to linger on such regrets (if that's what they are), and there's the sense that something hovers nearby, watching.]

((ooc: feel free to share subconscious wishes about how things could have gone differently with each other! A little something will be paying attention. ETA: I will pick up headthoughts threads on Wednesday o7))

Who: Anyone
When: Day 126, morning (and all day long)
Where: All HQ stairwells
What: A HAPPENING

[ At approximately 10:15 am on this bright sunshine-y day, a faint, vaguely electric hum buzzes through the building's walls. Just for a couple of seconds, fading out again. Maybe just your imagination??

Though it seems to happen again and again throughout the day, at odd random intervals.

Well, whatever it was, it couldn't possibly have anything to do with the humble, innocuous, solid ol' staircases between the floors of HQ. Even if the hums seem just that bit louder around them. ]

(( OOC: Elevators are now active! Albeit with a few kinks. Comment to this post/tag someone to be trapped in a happening with them for a bit maybe 'w' ETA: GOING TO BED will revisit this post around 7 EST tomorrow by latest!! if not earlier ))
