{ Player Event } What's true of all the evils in the world is true of the plague as well
Who: You. (Open to all)
Where: All over Aldrip.
What: This is the log for what we’ve been affectionately dubbing The Organ Player Plot. Various places around Aldrip are facing dangerous supernatural occurrences. It’s a scavenger hunt in some way.
Warnings: MANY SNAKES, Body Horror, Organ Trafficking, Horror Themes, Violence, and we will be updating this as we go along.
A waking scream in the darkness is the first unheard omen.
Snakes, hundreds if not thousands, slither forth from the depths of Lorentia Cave and swiftly invade Aldrip. They are the heralds of the terrible things to come, and there are no corners safe from their encroachment. The serpents come in all shape and sizes, venomous or not, and are quick to become agitated if approached. Their readiness to strike and unwillingness to back off once provoked indicates the lack of survival instinct to flee. They are on the search for what's missing, and they will put up a fight.
An invisible haze sets upon the city , filled with anguish and fury, afflicting residents as it washes through the air and buildings. Children, the elderly, and the sickly are the first to complain of ailment. Within the next few days, patients begin to flood the doors of any hospital or clinic with more serious conditions-- fevers burning from them inside out and excruciating phantom pains that make them writhe in bed.
The longer what's stolen is not returned, the worse things get. Who knows how many bodies will pile high from these plagues if nothing gets done...

[ Dara is currently locked behind a barrier in Lorentia Cave to stave off the further spread of deadly miasma. Please retrieve a protection talisman from Seimei and retrieve what she’s lost (and hopefully return it…) !
How This Works–
To begin the search for the supernatural sources a participant can select a number that corresponds to one of the squares on the map (seen below). To go on a route head on down to the numbered top levels in the comments and reply to it. This is your character kicking off their investigation. Some routes will lead to nowhere, some to something, and others to ;)? You’ll find out.
During exploration you will receive responses from eitherquizpersona or cursegod. This is not an interaction with that particular character unless indicated otherwise.
This event will handwave wrap up by the 20th if no conclusion is reached before then because Dara needs her poor organs back. ]
The Map
Happy Belated Easter lol

CW: if ya squeamish stop reading here
The demonic blade slices through the clavicle like butter. The upwards curve of it catches on the clasp keeping the Overcoat attached. The very last thing that the platinum haired man is able to do with any strategic thought in mind is reach one last time through his Ability to snatch Akechi's talisman. Both his hand and the protective paper are pulled back through as the mantle is peeled from him. The momentum of the metal flings it off to the side and instead of holding on Nikolai lets it find salvation from what's about to happen.
It isn't until the axe skirts just barely past his arm and instead embeds itself into his abdomen that he knows he's going to die. His arm lifts to push the axe from the flesh but the motion is aborted halfway: he knows with that kind of bodily trauma his own blood is quickly beginning to pool inside the cut through and ruptured internals.
It's painful, very painful. Not the most pain he's been in but notable in its brutality. He chokes on his laughter for as long as he's able to. Shinji is really the only one who decided to take him on in close proximity so he reaches his less mangled arm out to try to grab at him with all his strength. If he can manage to grab him by the neck he will. The intention is to hold him in place.
Gogol pushes a mouthful of bright red blood out from his humorlessly curled lips as to make it trickle in a steady stream to the phtalo green water gathering around their feet. Making eye contact with Shinji Gogol mouths something inaudible with a strained grin.
"Good luck☆" ]
