{ 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

Koromaru, satisfied that Gogol is definitely dead, circles back to Minato's side. He leans the teen against him, and Minato sinks one hand's fingers into the dog's fur as thanks.
The other one reaches for his Evoker again, summoning Horus one last time. The giant bird let's out a piercing cry as it spreads its wings, enveloping everyone in a soothing light. The spell mends their bodies, enough to ensure none of them will bleed to death.
It's what Minato chooses to do with the remaining shreds of consciousness. It's the least he can do, he thinks, before his eyes drift shut and he slumps against Koromaru. Distantly, he hears Akechi screaming again, but can't find the energy to be worried about it.
If they all died here by Akechi's hand, they'd all come back anyways, right? ]
no subject
It's while he's looking around that he notices the small object set on the retaining wall, like the clown himself might have put it there. Frowning, Rolo reaches up to grab it.
He only gets a cursory examination in before a fresh burst of movement and yelling draws his eyes back to the others. Does the bullshit never cease? Rolo sighs, and as the crazy masked guy runs past him to presumably attack the other guy, he activates his Geass to catch Akechi just as he passes by, freezing the man in place mid-charge.]
no subject
Usually he'd probably just take the sword and walk away, leaving Akechi to stumble and be disarmed and catch up later-- but he's fucking done with this night and this guy. There's already a post-adrenaline unease building up in his gut that sick sort of dread that comes from realization-- that Akechi might have been the problem here after all. (He should have held back. He shouldn't have gotten swept up in the fight and swung, should have figured out what the fuck is going on--)
His fist cracks into Akechi's stopped time for him to wake up to, a gnarly hook right into the side of his head. There's probably frustration and aggressive projection there, but-- one thing at a time. They have the organ. The threats are mostly dealt with. After swinging, he'll sidestep the pink bubble of effect, calling out to Rolo.]
Who d'you want me to call to pick you up?
[It's an exhausted sigh as he says it. Please just go down, Akechi, he's fucking tired. He probably should be asking Rolo 'yo what the FUCK' but honestly... they're too fucked up. Everything burns and his eyes itch. He doesn't even really feel alive, thanks to that miasma going on.
They just gotta call someone and pass that baton over.]
