Oops, All Nightmares w/ a side of ice

[steadypulse]

Because I realized it could be fun for some if I made notice of this if some of y'all wanted to;

Due to 76's going Full Noctaere, as part of a small player plot heavily involving the Glowing Dawn flowers he helped discover and get in to certain peoples' hands, there's an uptick of Noctaere/nightmare energy corrupted wildlife around town and the residential district, and of course spreading out through the Wildlands. There are also zones of extreme burning cold with an overgrowth of rock-hard frozen thorny vines and other plant overgrowth spread throughout the same areas depending on where he moved for his escape towards less populated areas. This is where they'll be mostly populating and just drawn to.

There's also a few of these wolf-shaped things moving in small packs turning these critters corrupted for a good Nightmare Meal for big ol' Noctaere 76 that spawned them. These things are mostly made of shadow and are little more than Noctaere puppets, but still vicious if encountered.

I'll answer questions about this stuff if needed/wanted, but still have fun if you decide to play about with any of this.

I had hoped that it would! I'd tried to place it somewhere that'd not crush plans for y'all with that and give time for any visit to happen(flexible for all involved even in the fringes, honestly).

I've got plans there, honestly! If you want some involvement in that I'd be happy to arrange, and it'll be happening sometime in March if you don't have a full plate. Like if Zelda'd be curious about meeting the guy who helped initially discover them etc. Just happy to work with you and getting her deep in some flowers.

This part, what's in the log that just went up, is also creating a variant of the Glowing Dawn, a mutation due to them growing within a human body rather than what the Ents have been doing(I'd also be real happy to go in to that if you want to know for ooc information's sake!). I've put a lot of thought in to things and it's grown from the initial discovery that Taisa and I created.

I appreciate that! I'm definitely not up to speed on everything that's going on with the TGAA/OW blended family drama, lol. It sounds like it's been A Lot.

Zelda would actually be curious to meet 76! Jude was deliberately vague when talking about 76 and discovering the Glowing Dawn, and while Zelda didn't pry, she is curious about what's up with that.

If you have OOC info about the Glowing Dawn, I would LOVE that! I will 1000% take all of your information, please and thank you. It'll help me get an idea of what Zelda would have learned about the plant, since she's been studying it for a couple months now.

The unexpected! It's been a good time and it's the sort of thing I didn't expect in the beginning; the beauty of RP right there.

He's pretty open to answering questions about things like that at least, even if he's careful and makes sure whatever danger is known rather than leave it unsaid. Some things he keeps close to his chest when it concerns his own condition but hey it be like that. Which is to say these two meeting and talking is very much an easy thing to work out!

What's known behind the scenes to a few already(I mean OOCly of course, before I confuse myself so making it very clear) is the fact that these particular Ents in the cave(there are other populations, just hidden like these were and have gone even more hidden since Reaper's tantrum.) is that hey actually cultivated the Glowing Dawn flowers themselves! For the purpose of warding away nightmare energy/corruption a noctaere can cause; they also implant these in their own bodies, to fight off corruption from clinging to them. Of course this means the flowers are important to them in a sense, and a reason nothing else like them exists elsewhere(outside of Yujin's greenhouse and the little patch Kazuma and 76 managed to get growing). A reason that the deer that graze in their cave have Glowing Dawns growing off them as well, because they are partially plant themselves so it's easier for them to be wht they eat.

So you can imagine how a "well meaning" Ent putting one inside of a human body could go really wrong. They're used to their own biology and even that of the deer, not something that isn't plant at all.

Also, so many days later it's nearing the end of the month so you can tell my brain's been scattered.

If you'd like to plot out this little meeting and outing for discovery you can add me on plurk here for any ease of communication, if you're comfortable with that. Either way, I look forward to getting it started in March should that timing be good for you.
