{ 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 either [personal profile] quizpersona or [personal profile] 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. ]

[Normally, Scott would smile or at least roll his eyes when Kotone makes a silly comment like that, but he's still so serious. He has a feeling now that making her talk about any sort of 'demon' or insecurity will be a challenge on his end, but as he told Seimei, he's going to stick by her. That's what he's here for. Being with her isn't just for when things are easy, but when stuff gets really fucking hard. They've been through a few incidents already.

At least it's obvious that she isn't really fooling anyone, if judging by the stern look the older man is sending her. You know what, he kind of likes him a little more for that--]


Kotone, what do you feel more comfortable with? [He turns his eyes towards her, wanting to see her preference in all this. He's fine with either and she's the one that's cursed, so. While waiting for her response, he strokes her hand with his thumb.]

[What is she supposed to say in response to that? She meets Seimei's eyes with just a hint of defiance, as if daring him to tell her not to go. That's not right though, is it? She should be grateful to for his help. Is this anger and annoyance her own, or a remnant of Dara's...?

Her hand tightens around Scott's, even as she draws back from Seimei.]


I want to go back. ["Home," she doesn't say, because she never calls anywhere "home." Scott's house is the closest thing she has now that the farmhouse is empty again.

Almost as an afterthought, like it's something she's realized she's supposed to do rather than it being a natural, reflexive motion, she dips her head into a bow.]
Thanks for your help.
