38 - Power Palette Swap

[godsoffortune]

Who: Everyone!
What: Power Palette Swap Event!
When: April 15th - April 18th 2017 (March 1st - March 8th 2019)
Where: Throughout the Far Shore and Near Shore
Summary: A couple of intrepid magical investigators unknowingly trigger some mishaps among the New Gods and Shinki.



For two weeks, the Ama investigators have been combing the compound where Cultists were dealt a heavy blow by the New Gods and Shinki. Among them, two in particular had been looking to move the Crystal that the cultists had in their basement, the stand that it sat on, and the dolls nearby. Combined with Waver's analysis, Judar succeeds in using his magic to transport the Crystal out of the basement.

As they manage that, a ripple effect washes over the New Gods and Shinki. There is a slight sense of Vertigo for some, a stronger wave for others, and then things start to change...



As It Happens: April 15

Everyone was minding their own business. Perhaps they were on the Near Shore helping complete a prayer, or they were in the Far Shore attending to various godly duties. Regardless of where everyone was, it's around noon when some things start to change. A mild sense of vertigo happens to those who start to experience physical body changes, while a stronger wave seems to wash over the God or Shinki's skin if their powers are changing, or perhaps even a sudden stop-in-your-tracks deadening of feeling if being depowered entirely.

April 16

Later in the afternoon, through no extra effort of the Crystal-movers, a loud noise like a subwoofer kicking into effect issues from within the Crystal, knocking anyone away who was near it by several feet. The one-shot noise reverberates in the ears of all New Gods and Shinki, triggering another change for some. At the Crystal, the black color that appeared when the former Goddess entered the Crystal fills more of it.

April 17

Closer to 7pm, once more, the noise issues forth from the Crystal, louder and knocking people back several yards this time. The Crystal fills with black and grey. Some might swear they can see a face of the white-grey against all of the black, resembling an Inkblot / Rorschach test style picture.

Aftermath: April 18

Around 10am, the black coils from within the Crystal settle down into more of whispy smoke, much harder to see in it. There's a slight tug in the direction of the Crystal regardless of where New Gods and Shinki stand, and with that pull, the change effects go away and all are returned to as they were.

In Summary:

• Swap powers with another character!
• Gain or lose powers!
• Swap physical appearances with another character!
• Use or abuse the changes while you can!
• Investigate who and what is responsible!

[ Talk about curious thing. What Caster can gather from this exchange is A) Elfnein has met Berserker, B) she annoyed him (which can be dangerous). He doesn't make her immediately aware of the swap (because he's shit) and instead opts for ] What kind of questions? [ He has to learn a bit more about the situation first, right? ]

[alchemists]

Well.. with the current situation and people switching things with each other. Are you Caster or Berserker?

[futhark]

[ Hey, that's new information, he didn't know that one! ] People are switching up? Tell me more about this. [ Dude, you could at least answer the question directed at you. ]

[alchemists]

Could you answer my question first? I really don't want to annoy Berserker again so I need to pick my words carefully.

[futhark]

[ Oh boy. ] He really scared you, didn't he? [ Guess Caster located the "damage control" he had to do, that Berserker warned him about ] It's me, Caster. So it looks it's not just us switching up, huh?

[alchemists]

I made the mistake of thinking his personality was like yours...

[ She's just glad it's not Berserker, she didn't want to get the whole strike two no holds back bashing that he warned about before. ]

[futhark]

[ Oh no. Poor Elfnein. That doesn't sound like fun experience. Especially given that mistaken identity is one of the surest ways to annoy Berserker. ] We share the same face- [ And not just that- ] -but we're not exactly the same. [ Pause. ] What happened?

[alchemists]

I said he was a good person deep down.

[futhark]

[ Gotta resist the urge to headpat. Gotta resist--- failure ] That's a very nice sentiment- but I'm not sure if either of us would clarify as "good person" [ Caster at least can appreciate the thought, but Berserker? He probably saw it as childish and naive. ]

[alchemists]

But, you've been extremely nice to me and I think that counts as being a good person even if you don't think so.

[futhark]

Yeah but that's because I like you, Squirrel. [ He'd poke her in the forehead, but better to not risk it with this new form ] Good and bad is a matter of perspective.

[alchemists]

Maybe that's what Berserker needs to do, change his self perspective?

[futhark]

Perhaps. [ dot dot dot ] With enough time, who knows what's possible

[alchemists]

I think it's something that you could help him with.

[futhark]

If I was to guess, I am not the mirror he enjoys looking at. [ Caster knows he does have his own problem with doing the same. But his bigger problem is what made Berserker like this, or rather who- and just to be contrary, he would like to work around that. ] But hey, it might not be easy, but doesn't mean it's impossible, right? [ He doesn't sound convinced, but at least he's not shooting down the idea? ]

[alchemists]

Well, it's something I'd help come up a plan for and it's not something that can be done all at once.

[ More research needs to be done before Elfnein can really act on anything. ]
