day 117 :: Core Event

[bastionpc]

Who: Everyone who wants to participate
Open: Open
When: Day 117
Where: Prosper Bluff --> Jawson's Bog
What: The PCs go hunting for a core, and get caught up in a dangerous situation
Format: log, action, etc.
Warnings: Some threads will contain triggering material. Those threads will be labeled as such in the headers.


[Some time has passed, and more people have arrived. It seems as though things have been turning around since the last hunt for a core. So when Nathaniel comes to tell everyone that another core has been located, and that they'll need to go get it, his somber attitude might seem a bit strange.]

Alright everyone, I'm getting an energy spike in the general area of Prosper Bluff, so I'm pretty sure a core is there. Unfortunately, I can't get an exact location on it, just a general area, so you're going to have to go down there and root it out yourself. It should be somewhere on the bluff, which will make for an easy recovery, since most monsters stay away from that area.

However, there is a chance that the core might be a bit further East, in Jawson's Bog. If it is, just leave it there. It is not worth risking your lives to go in there to get it.

[Everyone is free to talk to Nathaniel before leaving, if they want, or they can just be on their way. Either way, the NPCs will be waiting for them to return.]

[ Reaching a hand out across Kaoru's path, Seimei stops their progress and nods towards the grass, waving the red-head back and gesturing silence.

Taking a few steps forward, he makes a point of leaving the "group" to make himself appear less threatening. ]

Hello? If you are not of a mind to eat us, would you consider sparing a moment? I assure you, I and my companion mean you no harm. Ah, quite the opposite in my case, were you inclined to converse. I will stay here if it is more comfortable for you. You do not have to come out...I can understand anything you choose to communicate. My companion cannot but I will translate if need be.

[Kaoru stops, carefully hanging back to Seimei can go forward and investigate, but Tama-chan trails behind Seimei, keeping low, tail swinging left to right. Kaoru will be safe with the group, but she's not letting Seimei go off, even if he does have Taisan with him]

[The squirt stays hidden, and it is far too young to have a full conversation with. But Seimei will definitely get a sense of wariness from it, as well as a wondering about why everyone is there in the first place. This little squirt lives on the bluff specifically because it is quiet and peaceful and not full of people or monsters, and does not like having the peace disturbed.]

[ Tilting his head left and right, leaning to one side in attempt to see past the grass, Seimei eventually reaches down and pats Tama gently. ]

Why do we not leave them alone, dear heart? They have no reason to harm us and we have no reason to harm them. If they do not wish to speak, I cannot blame them. Let us move on.

[ Clearing his throat and shaking his sleeves out, Seimei bows his head politely. ]

I apologize for any distress we may be causing. I do hope you change your mind. I would be ever so grateful. Do take care.

[that little squirt seems to have a fair bit in common with someone we all know and love...]

[Tama-chan edges back toward Seimei, carefully backing up against him before slinking around and back to the main group. Seimei is obedient. She fully expects him to follow]

[bastionpc]

[The squirt does not follow, but instead it watches from the grass. Later it will go talk about these strange humans to other squirts, making them wary-but-curious as well.

For the time being, squirts won't attack PCs unless they are attacked first.]
