october plot.

the WOMAN in the WELL




Welcome to October, my dears. It's a strange time, when the days are beautiful but the light is thin. And it's a dangerous time, the world is filling with shadows and who knows what is lurking just out of sight.

With the trees in a flame of color, something new has come into sight between their stands, something hidden away in a gloomy corner where spiders have long been left to do their work amongst the birch trees.

The well there is pristine, lined with roses and built out of strong white stone like those you will find in the ruins. There are many lakes here, it is not so surprising that this little well is here, only that you have not noticed it before.

Beginning on the 14th of October, singing will begin to emanate from this long-lost place, once the sun has gone down. It is a unique song, calling only to you. You will see no one around you who reacts to its enchanting tune, and it is your choice whether or not to search out its source.

The voice echoes up from the depths of the well, the woman is unseen, but should you greet her, she will respond in kind. She will entreat you, child, to tell her your troubles.

The woman in the well gives you only the most compassionate and sensible advice. She truly does mean you well. But nothing is ever as simple as it seems...

The nightmares begin after you speak to her. These visions entreat something very different. They call for you to be petty, bitter, insensible, and cruel. The acts you see yourself performing in these dreams are horrific and incomprehensible, but there is a voice not so different to hers that rationalizes for you, that shreds at your deepest insecurities and vices. No one would blame you for crumbling under such an onslaught.

The dreams will last until the 25th of October, and any who have succumbed to their violence will in turn be slaughtered by the woman in the well on this very night. She gave you such good advice... and you betrayed her. She has been betrayed before.

She will drag you to her well, and she will rend you, piece from piece. The woman in the well takes a bipedal appearance, almost human except for her decaying skin, the ragged wings protruding from her back, the prominent muscles in her strong legs, her taloned hands, and the beaked mouth from which ridged tentacles protrude.

She has no mercy for you now.

An NPC post for the woman in the well will go up on the 14th, where she will give characters advice. What happens with the dreams and your character's actions are completely up to you, but please note there is a chance that your character will die during this event if you choose to participate.

Participation in this event is not mandatory.

Akiha's bitten her so many times and put a collar on her and bossed her around and she likes it. Mostly.

There's a part of her that would love to be able to get back at Akiha though.

...this can happen. Oh, Akiha will be so upset afterward though.

There better be some feeling admissions involved in this. :|

There is going to be so much cruelty, feelings, and people feeling like shit afterwards.

Can Katina grovel well?
grandtheftmecha: (Sad Katina)

[personal profile] grandtheftmecha 2012-10-14 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
She's not the... best at it but she will learn.

That or feel unworthy of anyone's affection and hide in a hole somewhere.

Akiha will expect groveling afterward since she isn't giving into the urges.

It so helps that she's used to these urges.
grandtheftmecha: (wtf is that?)

[personal profile] grandtheftmecha 2012-10-14 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Katina's used to normal urges to punch idiots in the face a lot or blow up evil aliens

Don't look at me all judgmental!
ritsu_kouyou: (commission - please DNS) (Akiha's soul is judging you)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2012-10-14 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Have an icon for another game just for the keywords.

[personal profile] grandtheftmecha 2012-10-14 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Even her soul is judgmental gosh
ritsu_kouyou: (8)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2012-10-14 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Would you expect anything less?
grandtheftmecha: (Miffed)

[personal profile] grandtheftmecha 2012-10-14 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Falling in love with a freaking judgmental little... mmph.

Katina, dear, you've been weighed. You've been measured. You've been found... wanted.
grandtheftmecha: (Sad Katina)

[personal profile] grandtheftmecha 2012-10-14 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
But I'm terrible.
ritsu_kouyou: (18)

Akiha still loves her. Not that she'll admit it. *tsuntsun*

[personal profile] grandtheftmecha 2012-10-14 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
They really need to do something about this

Akiha needs to get over her stupid feelings thing. This is one place where she really is a teenager, thinking she should only ever love Shiki one person.

[personal profile] grandtheftmecha 2012-10-14 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously, Katina's already got that figured out right?
ritsu_kouyou: (Default)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2012-10-14 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Probably.
