[PLOT] COINCIDENTAL PROBLEMS | Kedan Soul Gems
It looks like the Foreigners aren't as unique as they thought!
As Milyn's post on the network revealed, there were several attacks on kedan throughout the city, which led by the by to them discovering they now have soul gems that appear to function just like those possessed by the Foreigners.
This news will also significantly unnerve other kedan, as the soul gems are widely known to be a Foreigner tether to this world -- or at least, they were up until now. There won't be any undue hostility towards the Foreigners over this, just a general sense of fear and worry among the kedan.
Milyn's taken temporary charge of the group of seven, and quarantined them at the Healer's Guild to make sure whatever's happened to them isn't going to somehow spread, since all seven kedan also had (or has) a virus called zhyris, the symptoms of which were briefly outlined in Milyn's section of the May itinerary. She's asked that the quarantine be respected by both Foreigners and other kedan, including the family head NPCs, for everyone's safety.
After one week, Milyn will determine that whatever has caused this, it doesn't appear to be communicable, and they'll be released into the protective custody of the NPC families, in case any of the kedan get the brilliant idea to try weeding out the now-abnormal individuals. They'll be making an appearance during the upcoming Public Courtyard, where more information about them will be available.
Important!
Because PCs won't be able to question the kedan victims themselves, Milyn's taken it upon herself to get some information from them regarding their attacks, and will relay it to any character who requests to know. The victim's information is inside the cut, and players can assume that she told them everything noted below, without needing to tag into the post to ask for it; ie, it can be handwaved that she gave them this informationmostly so I'm not having the same thread over and over.
Please note that for metaplot purposes, she won't be expanding on the victims' scenarios any more than what's written in this plot post. ICly, she'll just say that she's respecting that these poor kedan deserve SOME privacy, and probably chastise anyone pushing for additional details as being extra snoopy.
THE SOUL-GEMMED KEDAN VICTIMS
Additionally, one of the things that will be brought up at the Courtyard log will be temporarily assigning these kedan to a Foreigner partner, to help them better understand the concept of a soul gem, at least until more information is discovered. While it'll be ICly brought up in that log, we wanted to mention it ahead of time, so people can consider whether their character would be interested in helping out this way.
Questions regarding this plot can be asked to this post, thank you!

THE SOUL-GEMMED KEDAN VICTIMS
1. Hianmian: A thirty-something woman with two young twin boys (Shuo and Shao), who lives in the Earth Sector. Her husband was killed during the Chihuelan invasion, and she now lives with her brother, Gaithi. She was attacked in the morning, not far from her home, as she was heading to the market for shopping. She remembers only her arm being grabbed by someone very strong before she was knocked out, and has a sprained wrist from the attack, but was otherwise unharmed. Her soul gem is a leaf-green colour.
2. Deoreo: A sixteen year old kedan boy, who lives in the Metal Sector. He is currently apprenticed to a fine metals master at the College, where he is learning to make jewelry. He was attacked as he left the College late in the evening, around 9PM. He claims to recall hearing a male voice right before he was struck from behind, but he couldn't make out any words. Other than a sizable goose egg where he was hit, he's unharmed. His soul gem is a very dark blue, almost black.
3. Jilay: An idealistic twenty-something young man who lives in the Water Sector, who keeps insisting that this whole 'mugging' thing is just a mistake, and that there's really no problem. He has a new wife at home named Nuani, and they're expecting their first child soon. After the incident, he makes it known that he doesn't hold any grudge about what happened, assuming it had been done as an attempted robbery. He was knocked out by a rag doused in something sweet-smelling, but suffered no injuries from the attack. His soul gem is pinkish-red.
4. Naneul: A ten year old girl, who lives in the Wood Sector. She was attacked on her way to school in the morning, and was found by her friends about an hour later. She was knocked out with an injection to her arm, and she says it was by a man and woman she didn't know. Her descriptions of them are too generic to be of help in tracking them down, even if they weren't shapeshifters. She's pretty scared by the whole thing, and doesn't want to be far from her parents. Her soul gem is a sunny yellow.
5. Pazann: A forty-something kedan man living by himself in the Fire Sector, he is a technically minded person who is employed by the Metalworkers at Stark Industries. He was attacked in his home in the middle of the night and was grievously injured requiring a trip to the hospital to set several broken bones and stem some internal bleeding. He didn't get a look at his attackers, but he asserts there were three of them, and they were probably male, although they didn't say anything. He's expected to make a full recovery, but he's spitting mad about the whole incident, and definitely wants some kind of revenge. His soul gem is a burnt orange colour.
6 & 7. Sevda & Zhenkadir: A fifty-something woman and a sixty-something man, who have been happily married for 30 years, and who live in the Wood Sector. They were taking a walk in the wooded areas one evening, and were simultaneously attacked by a group of hooded assailants, approximately ten of them (which seems absurdly excessive, given their elderly targets). Despite the large force, they were relatively unharmed, although Zhenkadir broke his hip when he fell. They were both knocked out by injections to the arm. Sevda is angry and confused by the attack, whereas Zhenkadir is just plain confused; it's possible he is a little addled. Their soul gems are both the exact same shade of violet.
