EVENT | ALL HALLOWED REDUX - RITUALISM | Jan 10-13

[cherrywood]

Hello Tushies, time for another event!

This is a followup to the Losses experienced by the Foreigner population as part of the All Hallowed plot back at the end of October, particularly those who were affected by a long term effect.

RESETTING THE STAGE → IC LOG HERE

The kedan are unhappy that the Foreigners were hit with such a strange and inexplicable effects and while they don't know how it happened, they are hoping that this will help. While their primary concern is those who have ongoing effects, this offer will be open to anyone who was ghosted and brought back using the iridescent paint. For those who have recovered, this may also help in dispelling any lingering danger of it happening again.

On Monday morning, several volunteer kedan will be dispatched to the houses of those affected by the ghosting and let them know that there is an upcoming ritual that they may be interested in attending. The kedan will explain that as shapeshifters, their kind sometimes get "stuck" with unwanted effects due to their nature and can't undo them normally, particularly younger kedan. This could be anything from a bright orange cast to their skin to something as drastic as having a third arm coming out the top of their heads. As a result, every few years they regularly undertake a ritual that cleanses them back to their natural states and that one of their physicians has suggested that it might help the Foreigners, based on the fact that the iridescent paint, commonly used for aid in managing their changing, had a positive effect on ghosted Foreigners.

The kedan will go on to explain that in order to undertake this ritual, those affected should have two volunteers each to act as sponsors and that the criteria for the sponsors is very important. The sponsors must have one similarity and one difference each from the person they're acting on behalf of. For an example, the kedan will use that the sponsor may have the same eye colour as the attendee, but one is an only child and the other has siblings. The similarities and differences are not required to be common between all three people, only the attendee and the sponsor. They'll also emphasize that the more significant the similarities and differences are, the better chance the ritual will have for working correctly.

Though they will not be able to explain the entire ritual in detail if asked (it's a private thing, they'll say! but they do want to help and so are inviting the Foreigners) but will reassure them that it's an ordinary thing for kedan to undergo, that it's painless and harmless. After all, they'll reason, it can't hurt to try?

"Hey, I just met you and this is crazy,
But I got ghosted, so sponsor me maybe?"

Players are encouraged to make posts and coordinate finding their sponsors! For organization purposes, once affected players have gotten their two volunteers, please copy them into the Groups comment down below. (For fairness, we ask that both sponsors not be played by the same mun, though a player can volunteer up to two of their characters across the groups.) ETA: Be sure to read over the QUESTIONS section as specifics are detailed there!

The IC ritual log will be going up Friday evening (once I'm home from work!) though the actual event will ICly take place Saturday through Sunday. If you have any questions, please ask them in the Questions comment below. Thank you!

QUESTIONS

[cherrywood]

Ask them here please :)

[imaginate]

To what extent to similar personality traits count as common?

[lostundercover]

Can those affected also act as a sponsor for someone else or no?

Re: QUESTIONS

[justlittle]

Can characters act as sponsors for more than one person?

Re: QUESTIONS

[gathersnomoss]

So if we have one character that was affected, can we only help sponsor one character, or can we have two sponsors? (In other words, is it 'two characters involved' or 'two sponsors (and possibly three characters)'?)

Desperately Seeking Susan--I mean Sponsors

[asouthron]

McCoy was one of the Foreigners who got ghosted. He is a southern divorcee who works in space, does that jive with ANYONE?

SOB Lemme know if you think there is something that makes him compatible with McCoy, and, of course as stated, the more similar the better

[imaginate]

quick what do these two have in common

SPONSORS NEEDED

[corage]

So this idiot here is very much still affected, and as much as he's getting used to having no sense of touch, he would be jumping at this chance to get it back.

SO. PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SPONSOR HIM, REPLY HERE?? if there's none he'll just blow it off otherwise, sob

[imaginate]

WHAT COULD THESE TWO POSSIBLY HAVE IN COMMON trollface.jpg

SOMEONE TO TALK HIM INTO IT + SPONSORS NEEDED

[lostundercover]

Costigan was ghosted, but he'll refuse the ceremony unless someone forces him into it.

Then he'd need sponsors. >>

[speaksreindeer]

In the words of his voice actor, Kristoff is kind of psychotic. Does that count as a similarity? Differences are easier, Kristoff's being he's all about honesty up front.

Sponsors?

[parallels]

Clara was ghosted and had some pretty hefty memory loss issues going on and is definitely keen to never experience that again. So sponsors for her would be awesome? She's British, an only child, a teacher, and space/time traveler?

[skybluejeep]

Officially putting Stiles up for this. Also an only child.

In Need of Sponsors, Previous Acquaintance Not Necessary

[cantbewalled]

So Prussia has been mute for a long time and would really not to be able to talk again. That means he'll be jumping on this ritual and as soon as he finds out he needs sponsors, he'll be going out to find them. That means they do not need to be people he knows, since if he thinks there is a commonality, he'll drag you along anyway--probably without even explaining at first so if you want some random guy throwing himself at your character he's more than appropriate?

Prussia isn't human, but looks like one. Has some mystical origins in that he's the like the Spirit of Prussia (although currently more like the Spirit of Eastern Germany).

He has really pale hair, weird eyes that are usually red in color, is sort of a middle child (he has older brothers and one younger brother he raised himself), can speak English, French, German, Russian and the language of Nations that no one else but Nations can really understand, he loves beer, writing in his diary, and has a huge ego (he may not notice this similarity, but it could be hilarious to run with). He also has a little yellow bird he runs around with because he has a huge soft spot for cute little animals.

There's plenty of other things, too, so if you think there might be some compatibility, just comment and I'm sure we can think of something!

[justlittle]

Ummmm Bean speaks English, French,and German....

SPONSORS WANTED

[doc_holi]

While Holiday's effects from the ghosting was short term, she's still feeling the side effects of it. Basically, she's still sick. Getting better! But still weak and ill and generally just sick. (Plus her eyes are grey and hair is white, but I've been way too lazy and forgetful to change her icons for just this game sigh.)

So. Would anyone like to sponsor her?

EDIT: Snagged one already. One more is still needed! :V thankyoubless

Re: SPONSORS WANTED

[denyamenti]

Bakura can volunteer! He also has white hair and I'm sure we can find plenty of differences? Also it's something that his host would do to help out and he's maintaining that persona for now.

Sponsor, maybe?

[backwordscompatible]

So...given Zatanna's current less-than-cheerful frame of mind, she's probably going to have Jack as Sponsor Number One.

Now, she has a lot of close CR, yes, and I have a few other ideas in mind...but, barring that, I figured I'd throw her out there if there is anybody else who might offer to be her sponsor to help establish or further develop new CR.

[imaginate]

Would Zee mind being Kyle's sponsor? Things in common include hair colour :)

[gathersnomoss]

Zel was only temporarily ghosted and blinded, but it has him nervous. So who wants to sponsor a part-human sorcerer-swordsman with dead parents and a villainous grandfather?

[backinakidflash]

If villainous grandfathers counts as a similarity, I can match that with Bart here.

sponsors please!

[strategisch]

Armin was blind for a month after the All Hallowed event, and would be plenty eager to take part in this ritual if only to avoid that happening again.

CR-- anyone out there that would like to volunteer? I could use Eren for either of the spots, they have things in common as much as they are unlike. So I only need one, but it'd be great if I didn't have to use him either!

[bolthead]

I can definitely volunteer Barry if no one else volunteers. He'd be glad to do it, especially since he didn't exactly hunt down any leads for who was behind it all, or why it happened.

Frank needs a sponsor!

[iguanasolution]

Frank here is still voice-less so he'd be frantic to get a sponsor for the spell! I've already got Cassie Lang lined up but I'd still need another. His characteristics for those who don't know him are:

> demigod / metahuman teenager
> lost his mother in Afganistan
> literal son of the war, his father is Mars
> legacy of Poseidon
> able to shapeshift into any animals he knows about
> dating a daughter of Pluto who isn't in the turtle
> speaks English, Latin, French, some Greek and some Chinese
> Black hair, dark eyes, Chinese features, he's a bit pudgy- like a baby panda!

So yes bring it! I have a couple people in mind if no one else works but I always love expanding his CR

[justlittle]

I know they already know each other, but Miles could sponsor Frank if need be.

> metahuman teenager
> dead mother
> black hair, dark eyes
> dating/crushing on a white girl

Any of those work for similarities....

[backinakidflash]

Bart has recovered what he was missing, but he's going to do it as a precaution. I'd prefer NOT close sponsors, because he'd forget until the last minute and grab people off the street.

Things that might be similar/different:
Teenaged male
Red hair
Yellow eyes
Metahuman by birth
Time/space traveller
Has beaten Battletoads

So as to not complicate things, I'm not offering his status as an only child.

[starcharter]

Space travelers unite? Chekov would totally sponsor someone who pulls him off the street at the last minute and asks him to help.

Sponsor??

[starcharter]

Chekov got ghosted so he needs a friend or two. Russian, only child, scientist, genius, deceased mother (depending on which canon you draw from THANKS J.J.), space traveler/adventurer/explorer/occasional unwilling soldier. Friendly, sometimes distrustful of authority, a+ at harboring guilt.

Re: Sponsor??

[whitelotustile]

If you still need anyone, Iroh is a former soldier and both of his parents are dead (which I realize is not unusual for someone old enough to be a grandfather, but not the point).

Seeking sponsor!

[virginprice]

Alcuin lost an important memory and he would like to get it back. Uh, significant things about him? He has white hair and dark eyes, he's ridiculously pretty, he's very intelligent, he's now a Charter Mage, he's an orphan, his true love is deaaad... oh, he's pansexual. Hm. He's a spy? But nobody knows about that so probably no sponsoring on that one.

[watcheslanterns]

Rapunzel could sponsor? Since they have clothing in common?
