Hello hello! Going on a full hiatus for until the 25th, and I thought I would drop this here now! Characters will be on autopilot - Steve will be doing his police thing, Pink will be mostly doing his thing, Eden working, Saya working, Derek being cranky and werewolfy. So you know, the usual. Godmodding rights go to crew or close CR!

Over and out, Poly! See you in a couple!

An ill wind is a-blowing through the City... ("We need help, the poet reckoned.")

As noted on the Calendar*, starting Tuesday, July 16^th, characters will start to fall mysteriously ill...

There seem to be two strains of illness in the City.

One appears as a bad bout of the flu--with physical symptoms like fatigue, migraines, vomiting, strong fevers, appetite- and weight loss.

And the other affects a character's very presence in the City. Sick characters gradually cease leaving foot or hand prints and will slowly become more "transparent" (going as far as becoming invisible, if so chosen). At times, they will no longer be seen, heard, or even remembered. Increasingly, it will be as if they do not exist in the City.

What a terrifying thought... What can be done...? And what's an essence rite, anyway...?

This post is for plotting and planning--both for illnesses and for essence rites. Even though the essence rites will take care of the biggest issue--that would be disappearing--medical attention can be given to the affected characters. One can certainly treat the symptoms to alleviate some discomfort. Is there a doctor in the house? (Also, as an aside, characters who die or fade away into nothingness will not be able to return to life until either their essence rite is performed, or the event ends.)

This event will last until July 26^th.

Now, for the important part:

Essence Rites

( What they are and how they work... )

So!

For Ill Characters:
<b>What symptoms will they have?:</b> <b>What will their essence rite will be?:</b> <b>What is the dream hinting (or outright telling) helpers about the essence rite like?:</b> <b>Are you open to anyone performing the essence rite?:</b>


For Healthy/Helper Characters:
<b>Are you open to your character performing an essence rite?</b> <b>Are you open to your character receiving an essence rite related dream?:</b> <b>Do you have any preferences or "do not"s about the dreams/essence rites?:</b>


As ever, please feel free to ask any questions you might have here in this post. If you expect your character's essence rite will require an unusual or otherwise normally unobtainable item or creature, please just ask a mod on this post. We're happy to sort things out.

And have fun~
