hadriel_ooc | RESURRECTION EVENT: RAGE

THE RUNDOWN

Hope has spent most of the month preparing to resurrect Rage, and on December 26th he'll finally be ready to put things in motion. Of course, bringing a god back to life is bound to cause a few side effects, so let's hope everyone's prepared! To kick off the event, Rage's temple is restored in an instant, and glows with a deep red light that can be seen from some distance.

Resurrecting Rage unleashes a tide of anger across the city. At first concentrated in certain spots, it slowly grows to cover all of Hadriel. For the first few days, there will be no noticeable difference unless you're inside Rage's temple, the colosseum, or the library - but being inside any of those places will find you filled with aimless anger.

Over the next few days, these pools of rage will slowly expand, until by January 2nd they blanket the whole city. The anger will only abate if you're actually inside Fear or Hope's temple, where it will be replaced by the usual feelings of unsettled creepiness or gentle hopefulness. Otherwise, you'd better practice your deep breathing. Don't get too irritated!

On January 4th, the armory that Hope promised comes into existence, just in case you were looking for something to stab someone with. It contains no guns or anything more technologically advanced than swords, spears, and other medieval-type weapons - but that's plenty good enough to kill people with.

THE DETAILS

If you'd like to opt-out of anything too damaging, you can! The anger isn't overwhelming or mindless, and everyone is still themselves. If you have a cool head, good self-control, or excellent coping techniques, you'll be able to keep from losing your temper - but it'll definitely be a struggle even for the calmest. Also, for the first week of the event, there will be quite a few areas around the city that aren't affected, though they'll become harder and harder to find as the event goes on. The city map will also be updated with the location of Rage's temple and the armory.

After the event, Rage's temple will be just like the others - entering it will increase feelings of anger and irritation, but nowhere near as strongly as during this event. The armory will continue to supply weapons, but they'll all still be simple, non-projectile weapons, unless and until Rage decides otherwise.

Finally, on January 6th, Rage is fully restored and takes control of her power once more. The waves of anger blanketing the city disappear. Let's hope you didn't do anything you'll regret.
