Event Log: Fadeout

[hadrielmods]

Who: Everyone participating in the event!
What: The event log for the Fadeout event!
Where: All around the city
When: November 15th-November 25th
Warnings: None!

The morning of November the 15th seems rather normal- that is, if you can avoid the glowing cracks in the fabric of reality tucked away among various streets. Still, they don't really seem to be doing much of anything and you can't quite see through them, so maybe they're decoration? This wouldn't be the first time the gods pulled some weird shit to shake things up around here.

By midafternoon, however, something changes. Cecily, in all her wisdom, decides to attempt to dispel one of these rifts, and the resulting shockwave sends tremors through the city. Tears throughout Hadriel open wider and allow for various demons to burst through and terrorize the various citizens. Demons will be tearing through in all corners of the city, though you can choose to avoid them if you like.

Look out for Pride and Rage demons, who attempt to brute force their way to you and feed off of your anger, steel yourselves against Despair and Fear demons who grow stronger as you give up hope, and definitely cross the street to avoid the Desire demons, who can take either male or female forms and will offer you everything you want if you just let them in.

Demons will either focus on attacking you or tempting you by taking advantage of and feeding off of your basic emotions. Agreeing to let a demon help you and mentally folding to it generally means that the demon will begin to possess you and start calling the shots- often using you as a vessel to hurt others and sow discord. If you happen to have any sort of magical abilities, extended possession can lead toward becoming an abomination after the corruption takes root.

So... you might want to avoid all of that. Luckily, there are some good things happening that can distract you- along with the demons, several nugs and fennec foxes will also pop up around the city, and if you don't want them to die a horrible death to a hungry demon, you might consider adopting them. In addition, you may find a random potion laying around- maybe this can help you fight off those demons, or maybe it'll make every nug in the city love you- or maybe it's secretly a jar of bees. Wouldn't be the first time you guys let bees in jars get a little out of hand.

We shouldn't be.

( Never mind the fact that bringing demons here is wrong it's different )

The rifts that are bringing the demons here were closed. Nothing should be able to cause these tears.

[dedikated]

( that's. weirder still. Kate's brow furrows. this place seems to like the impossible, just a bit too much. )

What else do I need t' know about 'em?

( but figuring out how this happened is for later, when there's no demons in their path. )

[bheidh]

They will try to corrupt you. Demons seek power, something they can use.

( Someone to hurt, something to make them stronger or be able to stay outside of the Fade permanently )

It's easier to kill them than to try and reason with them.

( There was no reasoning )

[dedikated]

( oh good. )

Possession?

( it happens back home, though she hasn't heard of anyone trying to reason with their would-be possessors. they normally didn't get the time to. )

[bheidh]

If they don't kill you first.

( If what you offered them was enough, even if it wasn't a willing offer )

[dedikated]

( shock, horror, these are the kinds of things that should probably flit through a person's mind at those facts.

Kate just exhales. too much crap back home, too many months down here to do anything else. )

Guess this place didn't get th' memo that I'm retired.

( should have taken her from a few years ago, murdercave. poor show. )

[bheidh]

Unfortunately that sounds like too much of a luxury.

( Honestly, she'd love to do the same thing one day, but there's always too much to do that she can't turn her back on )

If you could help we might be able to deal with them quicker.

[dedikated]

( it had for the longest time, then it finally happened. her job didn't have to be violent. it could be constructive, it could be so much more.

that Hadriel dragged her back into a lifestyle she'd put behind her still leaves a bitter taste in her mouth. )

Sure.

( she'd have done it anyway, unable to leave them to just come within range of the Clinic. )

Rather not rebuild th' clinic.
