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!

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

[asouthron]

UHMM










Jim? :/a Does that even count?

[imaginate]

do the similarities use things like personality traits because there would be a few...

[asouthron]

I don't see why not, though we can certainly ask.

What did you have in mind?

[imaginate]

well Li just said "bullheaded stubbornness" so I can go with that? What do you think?

[asoothingvoice]

Similarity: Both are medical field
Difference: Bianca's happily married.

Would that work out for you?

[asouthron]

Ooooo yes! The difference is a really good one! He'd appreciate someone with medical science besides him on this c:

If Kyle ends up snapped up by a different character, I can offer this dude here. He's a divorcee (of sorts) that doesn't work in space. They don't know each other, but it could be an interesting alternative. (aha)

CRAP SORRY FOR THE BELATED RESPONSE

We should totes do this! Bones isn't the most trusting of strangers when it comes to his personal well-being, but I'm sure we can figure SOMETHING out (aha)
