Who: Anyone, anywhere in Portland.
When: October 22nd - 31st, 2017
Where: In Portland, for the last time.
What: The seasons change as the Winter Court seizes a surprise victory, claiming both the Tree of Life's pendant and the blood catalyst needed to take control of the Severing Ritual. Meanwhile, interdimensional problems are about to get more weird. Check out the conflict results for the attack on the Circle as well as the Beast's attack on the Summer Court here.
Warnings: Individually marked!

DAYS OF WINTER↴ As the end of October nears, so does the grasp of winter. On the night of the 22nd, it will freeze overnight, and the temperature will drop for the following days. As the night grow long, world-wide magic slowly reaches it apex, set to reach it on the night of Halloween. With so many factors at play, knowing what to do with that moment of power may be a challenge. ► FULL CIRCLE: The Angels succeed in their planned attack on the Circle, managing to get to the living quarters of the Council members with the help of Ashleigh Mischief. The plan goes without much resistance from the mages or from the demons attempting to claim the ritual object for their own. Of course, when the fae make a surprise attack on the Angels after they flee the scene, it has the surprise result of the Winter Court ended up with the pendant in their talons. Threads for this attack can be done in this log. If you need mod direction at all, let us know, but otherwise feel free to NPC demons, angels, or random Circle members as you require. ► THE QUEEN'S GARDEN: Realizing that the Rose Queen is distracted with attempting to claim the pendant, the Beast will summon her co-conspirators to raid the Queen's gardens. The ultimate plan seems to be to get the Beast far enough into the gardens to kill the Queen, while also rescuing as many changelings as possible along the way. As it turns out, this doesn't go well. While they do manage to penetrate the gardens with Childermass's help, the Rose Queen, Ignatius, and Nightshade happen to all be there. Seriously outnumbered, even by the Beast's terms, it will take everything the group has to just make it out alive, sustaining heavy injuries as they go. In the end they will manage to rescue Greg universe and four additional changelings that were imprisoned there, but any damage done to the Summer Court itself will be negligible. Threads for this can also be played out here! ► REFLECTIONS: As the ritual draws closer, the line between this reality and the one you came from will also be becoming less clear. Regaining memories is not required, but it will naturally become easier to occur, especially if you're already started receiving them. It's a good time to start making connections, while you still have the chance. ► THE SEVERING: One way or another, the Severing is going to make an impact on both this world and the lives of those trapped inside of it. The Angels are going to be making an attempt to interrupt the Winter Court's ritual, as will the Summer Court and Anath's forces. Whoever comes up on top will be the ones to decide what to be done with it. Yet, with news that the Severing continuing could cause irreversible damage to the planet's spirit, it could feel like there are no perfect options. There will be an event header put up for this by the mods closer to the end of July. (NOTE: canon powers will returning while the ritual is in progress, so keep that in mind for planning - both sets of powers will be active.) |

[He sinks further in his seat, looking to Yugo.] Some of us went after the Rose Queen to save changelings and stop her from hurting the city any more... it didn't go very well.
no subject
no subject
I don't want the Fae breaking the severing. I don't trust them. [He turns to Yugo.] Does Miss Pru have a plan for getting it back?
[He is expecting a lot for Yugo to know here.]
no subject
[Because clearly it's only the angels that have the wellbeing of the entire world in mind. And then surely they'd defend the humans if demons or Fae tried to pull anything.]
We need to find where they're doing the ritual, I know that. And then there's storming the place...!
[.... Don't expect too much out of him.]
no subject
[That aside. He raises a brow at Yuugo, blinking.] ...Wherever it is, it would belong to the opposing faerie, would it not? The... 'Winter' court, you said? [he asks Yuuya, before moving on.]
More than that, what do we do once we have made it inside..?
no subject
We definitely have to find them and stop them. I... want to speak to Miss Pru again.
[He wants more information. He's worried about failing again. They can't afford it, and... if there's anyone he can ask to defend this world...]
The severing was supposed to stop the Summer Court from invading and taking over this world. If the Winter Court is the same, it's dangerous... but the spell is also hurting the earth spirit, so it can't stay.
no subject
[This is why you don't lean on Yugo for information. But then again, the group needs a reminder on important details once in while to make sure they have the facts straight for proper planning.]
Because our side would need to take control of the ritual and all.
no subject
[He looks to Yuuya, waiting for a stronger explanation however.]
no subject
It's... probably the solution to our memories, too. Wherever we really belong.
no subject
[Because interestingly enough it feels at least for Yugo like they're coming along easier, effort spent toward understanding them aside.]
I don't think it was directly from wherever we called home that we came from. Because wasn't that place split into a bunch of dimensions?
[Awkward cough.]
But yeah it's obvious we don't belong here.
no subject
There are many things that come to mind...I have even remembered, vividly, three different conditions under which I could have come into this condition! [he adds, frowning.] ...But I...
...But I can't think of which one is real. Or even how all three could exist for that matter!
[Hahhhh.] ...I do remember, however...travelling to different places...
no subject
[He glances aside to Gon, raising an eyebrow.] I have a lot of memories of you, but you're not a vampire in any of them, except here.
no subject
[Or maybe the place was too big to think of running into specific fellow co-workers. Yugo also has a feeling he won't have much else to add to that personal-sounding topic though, like a third wheel.
Probably for the best?]
And I'm not as old as I should be, so it's probably the same for Noboru?
[Eyes back to the vampire.]
By the way is there some other name you're usually called?
no subject
However, the gaze moves to Yuugo.] If all of us were Japanese, there is a chance that you would have referred to me by surname. 'Gongenzaka Noboru' is my full name. ...As it is, [he shrugs,] We were from parallel dimensions, so we wouldn't have se-
[AH. He blinks, realizing he's apparently remembered another point.]
no subject
He gives Yugo a long, contemplative look.] I... I know we're not strangers, but I don't remember talking much. [He does remember the splintered dimensions, because he crossed them for Yuzu.]
Yugo was from... synchro, and we were from standard. That's what they called it. [But who was they again? Think!]
no subject
Gongenzaka is too long. No nicknames or anything?
[Synchro, hm. That's familiar. Funny how easily stuff is coming back now.]
I was traveling through the dimensions because some asshole kidnapped Rin. He... [Wait a minute.] It's not just us two... there's four of us in all with the same face! Same with the girls!
no subject
And woah. This is...quite a thing.] F-Four?! All of you with the same face then..?
...There has to be some sort of reason for that, though...
no subject
Yeah, there was one of us in each dimension. [He pulls his legs up, resting his heels on the edge of the chair as he rests his chin on his knees.] We're the same person. Or were?
[He's remembered that detail for a while, but actual saying it makes him uncomfortable. It's weird, even for all the weirdness around them otherwise.]
Yuzu and Rin had the same face too, didn't they?
no subject
Definitely were connected in a really deep sense, at least.
[But ah, maybe talk of the girls will bring up other tidbits of interest.]
Yeah! And then the third is someone named Serena and.... [Uh.] I don't know who the fourth chick is.
no subject
no subject
[He slumps, apparently the only one concerned about that.] That's right, he came to our dimension with... Yuto to look for her. Yuzu met them first and it was really confusing. And then she disappeared when Academia attacked, and that's why we were crossing dimensions with the other Lancers!
[... Whoever they are.]
no subject
[Because he was definitely getting bad omen vibes.
Yuya's talking to someone that took the idea of an interdimensional war well even after seeing the aftermath of Heartland's destruction and beating up a few soldiers responsible that were marching through Standard. Not to mention witnessing the carding business.]
.... Yuzu was with me. She has this bracelet that warps people somehow, when any of us four get too close to each other.
no subject
...as well, if you were once the same being, would that mean you were so connected even now..?
no subject
He snaps his attention up.] Uh--yeah, probably! But those memories are still confusing.
no subject
[Because whether or not they're both correct on having come from a being likely best described as perhaps some sort of... demon? Not human, not with... their dragons involved!]
Yuto and... Yuri aren't here. So if it turns out useful, we'll be using our connection for good!
