Player Plot - Bad Moon Rising - OOC Post

Tomorrow night, sometime between the late hours of the 11th and the early hours of the 12th, Ronan Lynch is going to make a big mistake. Having heard about Yennefer's recent inability to manipulate chaos, he's going to attempt to dream an object that can completely restore her magic.

Unfortunately, this is going to give the Singularity a terrible case of hiccups. For the next two weeks, the Summoned will be suffering the effects of these hiccups to varying degrees, feeling anything from mild irritability to outright madness as they experience surges of power beyond what they're used to.

This madness may be especially acute in characters who have no natural magical abilities of their own and have only experienced magic for the first time here in Abraxas. It's possible they'll temporarily gain chaotic magic over the course of the next couple weeks, which will be powerful but unwieldy and dangerous to the user or others around them. How exactly these powers manifest is up to you. If you're not sure whether what you have in mind is too OP, just ask the mods. (Don't ask me! I have no idea!) Edit: Mod clarification below!

Characters with powers of their own might find them distorted, as if the chaotic magic pulsing around them is interfering with their native abilities. They might end up with entirely different powers or none at all, which could leave them afflicted with temporary insanity and a desperate need to restore themselves.

This plot is completely opt-in! Whether or not your character is affected — and to what degree — is totally up to you. This event is an excuse to use terrible magic you wouldn't ordinarily get to play with or even let your character go wild with a chaotic evil alignment switch. Just don't break the game! If characters wreak too much havoc and their fellow Summoned can't take care of the problem, Abraxan mages will step in to temporarily neutralize their powers.

If anyone wants to track down the source of this big problem, hit me up and we can plot it out. Anyone who can sense fluctuations in magic might just be able to point the finger at Ronan as the cause. People are welcome to explore solutions for undoing Ronan's mess, but in any case, the Singularity will restore itself to order by the 25th.

Coincidentally, the eclipse will begin a full day after the first signs of madness appear. It's totally unrelated, but one couldn't blame our temporarily insane Summoned fellows for getting extra paranoid about it.

You can use this post to plot if you want! Go wild!

so sam is definitely going to be affected by this!!!!!! WAHOO NON-MAGIC PEOPLE GETTING TO GO A LITTLE CRAZY.

the biggest thing that everyone will note is that his CALM EMOTIONS, which at the moment is something that he has to actively turn on and off, is going to distort from simply calming emotions of other people to sam taking/absorbing those emotions from others. rather than his calming zen or powers being any different, instead he will just be at a point of taking those intense emotions and putting them into himself.

the person who comes to him will feel something of the same effect - where they had intense, uncomfortable emotions before, they will no longer have them. but before, where the magic used to calm people down but would still be your characters, they will now. not be there anymore at all. c: at least temporarily.

WE CAN DISCUSS/WORK OUT WHATEVER but i'm happy to plot!!!

endcaller: I made all these icons. Feel free to use them if you want to. (Why universe hate Fandaniel?)

Fandaniel is going to be unaffected by the event but he is a walking font of despair at the best of times.

If you happen to want Sam to run into despair, depression and nihilism so intense that the man who has them wants to destroy himself and the world let me know.

[personal profile] falcony 2022-03-11 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
OH ACTUALLY THIS SOUNDS LIKE FUN. the best way to make this work though will involve fandaniel needing to come to him/etc. and then he'll end up not feeling those things for a period of time. IS HE GONNA BE OKAY FEELING CALM/CHILL FOR A HOT SECOND???
endcaller: (psychosexual hellscapes all the way down)

[personal profile] endcaller 2022-03-12 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
He won't handle chill well at all.

What is this feeling? This is a strange feeling, maybe he had it once millennia ago or in another life? It feels alien, he hates it, where is his pain? That was HIS pain, Sam, give it back!

So, I saw you had a log but I haven't had the chance to tag in yet. Before I do though are you still down for Sam absorbing Fandaniel's despair for an hour or two? IDK if Sam gets a blast of the absorbed emotions at any point but a blast of Fandaniel's emotions could be...intense. And I understand if that's not something you feel like playing with just now.

so listen here

i demand fallout h/c. bucky generally is going to be a steady calm and/or lowkey surprisingly intensely concerned even if u can't see it very well on the surface about his bro once he can tell it's starting to hit him
falcony: (ia_200000085)

[personal profile] falcony 2022-03-11 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
oh im glad you're on board cause I was probably gonna also demand some fallout h/c

especially because bucky's probably gonna be one of the people who DEFINITELY notice a difference. also because I feel like any potential of sam like. showing that he's dealing with any of this and/or any potential lashing out could/would probably end up directed in bucky's direction anyway???

but yes please I would love this very much

[personal profile] freightcars 2022-03-11 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
