{ 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

no subject
there's a moment of brief pause as he looks at the snake slithering. and then he screams, flinging the stick away and moving to back his ass up.]
W-Where the hell did that come from??
[because he's so extremely Brave and all that...]
Yu!! Naoto!! Get away from that thing!!
no subject
This feels important. He can't figure out how, though, not just yet.]
That sound, [he says to his companions, but he's making eye contact with the spookily-lucid snake as he speaks. This noise, the bells, also seems important.] You guys hear it, too, right?
no subject
Had they been clinging to the underside of the table? She hoped so, but it seemed unlikely with the amount.]
A ceremonial bell? [She was looking around, but she couldn't pinpoint it. Her hand going to her holster.]
no subject
That sound indeed is very reminiscent of a ceremonial bell. One that is drawing closer from the pathway towards south. Smooth movement very low to the ground can be just barely seen approaching. The snake that Yu had been maintaining eye contact with is the first to break it. The little creature turns to look in that direction as if having expected it. Some of the other snakes follow suit second later. Others do what can only be described as cowering in fear.
Will they wait to discover the thing that approaches them with intent? ]
no subject
Yosuke goes ahead and summons Susano-o as the snakes start to run. as the sound gets louder.]
Yu, get your ass over here! [he says, as he moves closer to Naoto.] We need to stick together!
[a beat.]
If something is scaring those assholes, that means there's no good coming...
no subject
Still. Better safe than sorry.
He backs up only by a few steps, remaining in front of his friends, but close enough that they have a solid group. At the same time, he brings Barong to the front of his mind, summoning the creature's card in order to cast Marakukaja on the three of them. It'll give them a boost in their defense if anything tries to sneak up on them.]
Stay on guard. Whatever's coming, we've got this.
[They always do.]
no subject
Yu got a small nod. After Izanami, she didn't doubt they'd be alright.
Just reaching into her coat to grab her revolver and summoning Yamato...Sumeragi?]
If the snakes are connected to this Dara person, then whatever is scaring them...
[Was it connected to what had attacked Dara? She'd put that aside for now though.]
