[feeling homesick?]
Who: the student body
When: October 9
Where: anywhere outside!
What: set fire to the rain
Warnings: some people might get chewed on by a fox
[On the morning of October 9th, a bright, almost ethereal glow flares from the rooftop]
[It lasts but a few seconds and can be seen from anywhere outside, as well as through the windows of the school. though it dissipates quickly, small bursts of light remain scattered in the sky, slowly floating down to the earth below. they are. . .]
[. . . small tongues of blue fire? they dance in the air like playful sprites, wiggling this way and that, inviting you closer with their whimsical shimmies. should you get too close to these sprites, you will hear a familiar voice echoing in your head. it is the voice of someone very close to you! someone you cared for. someone you once loved very, very much. someone you miss. someone you would do anything to see again]
[touch these tongues of blue flame, and that same person will appear before you, smiling with their hand extended. you will feel compelled to take it, almost as if you are in a trance. almost as if you cannot resist]
[the apparitions of your loved ones will attempt to guide you into the forest. characters who touch the flames will be reduced to a dreamlike state and compelled to follow them. this trance can be broken by another character with either a) a solid punch/stab/any kind of inflicted pain or b) a kiss. this knowledge is not known ICly, so you better get to experimenting!! if the trance is broken, the apparition will vanish in a whirlwind of blue fire with an irritated shriek, leaving nothing behind but a sense of loss and forlorn longing in the character who was affected]
[should a character's trance not be broken before they reach the woods. . . well. the apparition of their loved one will smile wickedly as it sprouts blue fox ears and three fluffy, blue tails at its back. its eyes will turn white, its teeth sharp, as its entire body shifts and morphs into a four-legged kitsune with blue fur and white-socked feet. the trance will be broken right as it attacks, as it attempts to sink teeth into its victim's neck and tear them limb from limb. whoops! looks like you got suckered into a miniboss fight!]
[the kitsune are pretty quick on their feet! they are difficult to hit, and their bites hurt, leaving an icy-hot sensation crawling across the skin at the site of the wound. they cannot be killed, but they can be injured with typical weapons (their blood oozes dark black), and they tend to balk when faced with more than one opponent. if you have a friend with you to fend them off, they are more likely to flee than not, curling up into balls of fur and popping out of existence with a bright blue spark of heat. the buddy system will be invaluable here!]

Fine!

...
FINE!
"Love, stop saying fine."
[Girl huffs and blushes again.]
"Well, now that that's all settled!" [Woman claps her hands together.] "Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall we?"
[She takes Girl's hand in her own and leads them both through the school....and, eventually, out of the school.]
no subject
Severine takes great pains to dodge the falling motes. do the other two? ]
How far?
[ logically, it cannot be near to the school, or else she herself might have already stumbled across it. ]
no subject
[When asked, Woman gives a smile to Severine.]
"Not too much further. Just over here."
[She points into the forest.]
no subject
the forest absolutely is not the right place to go. ]
Nyet. No. We were just in there, and I find nothing but creatures.
no subject
"Interesting. Perhaps the presence of the creatures is what caused the font to appear in the first place."
"Well, at any rate, this is where it is. Come along, love."
[Girl nods without saying a word. You couldn't pay her to venture into the forest as recently as a day or two ago and now she's going along with it with no hesitation. Woman, meanwhile, glances at Severine. She seems barely aware that she just refused in no uncertain terms.]
"Are you coming?"
no subject
I am not. I just say I have been in there; there is nothing.
[ and yet she takes a step closer. to Girl. not Woman. there is a difference in her mind. ]
no subject
She sees it. And she sees that Severine sees her seeing it. And the smile instantly comes back.]
"Very well. We'll capture some of the Spark if we're able to deliver it back to you. After we've recovered our own spellcrafting prowess, of course."
[And she takes Girl's hand, and with a bit more urgency, walks towards the forest. Girl follows, again, without a word.]
