Trial 9 Plotting Post

[ Questions ★ Live Event ★ Jump to Comments ★ Full Navigation ]
Welcome to our plotting post for this month's event! This plotting page doubles as our monthly CR meme. If you have questions about the trial, ask them below.

Although the longest night is behind you, there is still time to go before the warmth of the sun returns in full. The weather remains much the same as December: Wintermute is frozen, Willow covered in snowdrifts, Epiphany a mess of slush and black ice, Cruel Summer dangerously cold at night, and Exile wrapped in a numbing fog.

There is some change, and not for the better; all across Folkmore blackouts begin to occur at random. The power is cut to both businesses and private residences alike, which can be very worrisome for anywhere that is not equipped with a wood burning fireplace! The spirit folk of Folkmore are concerned, and you may see your favourite neighbours scurrying about trying to find ways to stay warm. Star Children would do well to to help those around them - interacting with others always generates Lore, which may help get the power back on. If nothing else, a good old fashioned cuddle can help you stay warm.

Not every building will lose power so you may just be one of the lucky ones who doesn’t have to scramble for blankets. Maybe you could offer up a place to stay for those who aren’t as fortunate?

With the power being such an issue, you might not notice right away that things seem to be going missing around here. Books. Jewelry. Socks. Bird feeders. Bicycles. All sorts of things, both big and small. Eventually even pets begin to go missing! You better keep an eye on your Pokémon! And your friends, too, for that matter - there are rumours that even Star Children are up and vanishing.

Now where on earth could everything be going?
