December 20 post 1

Event Summary Here

It’s December 20, and time for an extended day change. There will be two things happening during this day: An attack on the European bases, and events in America coming to a head. This post will deal with the Europe event.

Europe

There will be attacks on the Lucerne and Linz bases in the morning of December 20, just before dawn. An alarm will sweep the areas and a call for help will be sent to nearby bases -- all agents in Liechtenstein will be divided into either Lucerne or Linz, transported there via mirror. It will up to the players of the players in Liechtenstein where they want have their characters go, but please comment here so we know.

The attacks will be done by kishin eggs and Black Clowns, one each base. The Black Clowns will be appearing from the ground within Lucerne’s cavern walls and Linz’s hedge maze.

Black Clowns are sentient creatures made entirely out of black blood, capable of emitting the madness wavelength, various attacks related to Crona’s black blood, and for this event, luring kishin eggs into a location with it. Some differences will be made for the event: It won’t be following Crona’s orders now since Crona is currently working against Medusa, but it will have the added benefit of being able to create the black balls that have engulfed the other bases up to now.

The Black Clowns will not be entirely on a rampage -- rather, they will be attacking randomly but will be making a beeline for the middle of the bases. Their goal is to engulf the bases in black balls, and your mission is to stop them. They’re infinitely difficult to kill, and in the SC universe, are virtually unknown to everyone in Shibusen.

For plot purposes, we’ve determined the results of the fight: Shibusen Lucerne will fall to the Black Clown and all its agents will have to evacuate to Linz. The new combined forces in Shibusen Linz as well as the presence of a deathscythe pair (Maka and Soul) will enable the base to drive out the Black Clown and kishin eggs still attacking it.

Please use this post to coordinate your activity, but please put the LOCATION on the subject header of your comment. We won’t be providing NPCs for the enemy, but you’re free to make threads in the log and have encounters with the Black Clown and the various kishin eggs -- your character could have been asleep, just coming back, just arriving, or even one of the sentries for Linz -- it’s up to you! If your characters have time, one or two can also make emergency posts to Death City.

For the sake of coordination, Lucerne refugees can start arriving in Linz starting October 2 or 3 IRL.

If you have any questions about the Europe event, please comment here or email us at soulcampaign@gmail.com.

Where are you going?

[a-r0yal-flush.livejournal.com]

Nataku, where would you want Cloud and Sephiroth to go? Also, Yukeh, Lyn, will Kuroro and Kurapika be going to the same base?

[alphaspider]

That's likely, yeah!

[a-r0yal-flush.livejournal.com]

For reference! (http://soul-ooc.livejournal.com/802009.html?thread=23872473#t23872473)

It's been awhile since we had a good evacuation, so let's send them to Lucerne and then have them relocate the Linz after it falls? The Dream Team should have a shot at the Black Clown but have to retreat maybe? It has been awhile since Kuroro/Kurapika and Cloud/Sephiroth fought side-by-side.

[a-r0yal-flush.livejournal.com]

That sounds good to me! I was hoping that we'd have a crack at the Black Clown xDD

[ih8spiders]

Please bear with me while I scramble to catch up. ;;;

EUROPE EVENT QUESTIONS

[callmecrona.livejournal.com]

CAN CRONA BLAME MEDUSA FOR THIS. 8(

[soul_mods]

YES DEFINITELY. Her handprint all over it! Meet your bro, Crona.

[novelvision.livejournal.com]

Question! How hard can we expect these Black Clowns to be?

[soul_mods]

The equivalent of a two-star mission kishin egg, except this one refuses to die and has some witch magic and emits madness to add to the reasons why it's strong. The madness is very possible to fight off, though!

[hatedriven.livejournal.com]

if there is a critical injury, will characters be sent back to Shibusen?

[soul_mods]

That is up to you! Technically, they should, but if you want them to stay in Linz, that's fine with us. We'll post up hospital logs later in both Death City and Linz for the purpose.

I'm planning on having Mami get hit with the Madness Wavelength, but Debs is going to use this chance to have Madoka discover she has the Calming Wavelength. Will Mami still have to be sent back to Shibusen after Madoka calms her down?

[soul_mods]

No, it's fine if they stay in Europe after!

[closedmarket.livejournal.com]
