{ 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
Toph remembers them taunting her that not even she could bend metal, and how she'd thrown that in their faces. It gives her the strength to mutely take Miller's hand and follow him. This isn't the first time she's done something like this with a friend, but it does require absolute trust on her part; Toph wouldn't allow just anyone to lead her around, not even when she believed she was fully blind and dependent.
It makes her realize that she trusts Miller. More than as just a casual acquaintance, but as a real friend and as a part of her team. They can depend on each other and shift roles in combat, they can handle a crisis together, he didn't scold her for her schemes, he respects her and doesn't treat her like a child even when she probably deserves it, and...
Toph can hold his larger, rougher hand and keep walking, frustrated and hesitant in her steps but still moving, pushing ahead, letting him lead her through a blank, empty world.
She doesn't let go even when, eventually, feeling starts to return to her legs at the calf. It's painful, like a limb waking up after being cut off from circulation for too long, and she winces, hand tightening on his. ] I think-- we're getting out of the worst of it. I'm starting to feel things again.
[ This is important information, so she reports it, but her voice is still subdued. ]
