Event OOC: Predator Vs. Prey

[hadrielmods]

THE RUNDOWN

Rage is- well, angry, and what better way to express her anger than by blowing up Fear's temple? Fear was the one who should have been protecting Delight, after all, and so he should suffer, right?

Well, that's Rage's idea, and on March 13th, Fear's temple will be exploding, sending shrapnel and flames spewing out of the general area, so you might want to watch out for that! As a ramification, intended or not, the city will be divided into Predator- or rather, Rage's faction- and Prey- belonging to Fear.

Both factions have their corresponding god blessings for the duration of the event:

► Predators: Will have Battle Ready, a boost to physical strength and stamina. Pain is numbed and reflexes are faster, putting the user in an adrenaline-fueled state ideal for fighting and tracking down their prey.
► Prey: Will have Fear Itself, a power to create minor illusions, generally of things that their target fears. Only the intended target of this power can see the illusion, but it could be enough to distract your predator long enough to make an escape!

The predators in this event will be seeking to kill their prey, and the prey can respond however they wish- by running, hiding, or even turning the tables and trying to kill their hunters first.

On March 21st, everything will go back to normal!

THE DETAILS

This is an opt-in event! Predators are only interested in hunting prey- those who opt-out of the event are not targets.

Characters can work in groups or alone, and those who opt-out can always participate as well, by helping anyone on either side to achieve their goals of murdering or- you know, not being murdered. The blessings will start off at full strength, but in the final 3 days of the event (March 19th-21st) they will begin to wind down, operating on less and less power as the energy from the explosion finally dissipates. All blessings will be gone at the end of the event.

Any deaths that happen as a result of this event will be revived by Hope shortly thereafter, and whether or not you want your character to still be affected post-revival (or if you'd like them to swap sides) is up to you!

THE OVERVIEW

► March 13th: Rage destroys Fear's temple
► March 21st: Everyone goes back to normal

Re: Nathan Drake

A MILLION YEARS LATE and I know I'd expressed interest on Plurk, but I wanted to make sure it was cool to hit Nate with Nick before I did it! Because I almost did it anyway, but then felt bad because I hadn't confirmed here, so uh. Let me just check.

I figure maybe he spotted Nate on a roof late in the event and is coming for a friendly chat that will definitely not end up in an incredibly dramatic rooftop fist fight, if that's cool? Or something else! I'm flexible. :>

HELL YEAH?? HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that sounds perfect thank you

EDIT: okay actually having thought about it more extensively and dealing w/ long-term repercussions on a short-term timeline, given when the game is ending, I think it might.......be better to Not have more fighting, if only because I'm concerned about the follow-up.

I want things to end on a high note by the end of the game, and I worry about compromising Nate's positive cr with a lot of this negative stuff. I still want to DO things with Nick, absolutely, but maybe we can talk more at length about what that stuff might be over pp?
