Player plot : Waters of Youth
Waters Of Youth: Age altering event
Hello everyone, this is Juu and this month I bring you a player plot that can involve other players if you want to be part of it! It will start on the 10th of April and run until the end of April, and it has no other time-specific points.
This plot will run alongside April trials.
Background
Not long ago, Kaneki learned his soulmate is immortal; Kaneki however, is not and he is also aware Star Children age while in Folkmore. After his canon updated and after a lot of Trauma⟨™⟩ Kaneki decided he must become immortal and thus he started learning about folklore and magic through books and stumbled upon the Fountain of Youth, a mythical spring which allegedly restores the youth of anyone who drinks or bathes in its waters.
Thus, Kaneki will use his spoons to "build" the Fountain of Youth and bring it to Folkmore, which will in turn have consequences. This fountain will be located near his and Dirk's house.

The Consequences
🦊 Leakage
By bringing a magical building into Folkmore, a building that does not exist in his world and he never saw, will end up interfering with the Lore, and this will cause the fountain's water to leak out into Folkmore: the water will spread out, form streams, puddles and seep into people's houses (this may include drinking wells).
🦊 The water
Whoever touches or drinks these waters will have their age altered: they become young, or old, or perhaps they are constantly changing their age at every breath they take. Their mind can follow the age-change or not, which means characters can become actual kids, or simply children with an adult's mind - and vice-versa.
🦊 Mermaids
The Fountain is protected by little mermaid-like creatures. Mermaids are said to give eternal life to those who eat one, however, that won't really happen. You are still welcome to try.
These mermaids will try to retrieve the water and bring it back to the Fountain of Youth, and that includes the water that Star Children touched or drunk. They are able to take back the water from Star Children through a gentle touch like holding hands or maybe even a small kiss. Because not everyone will want a kiss from a mermaid, this means Star Children might be harassed by these mermaids until they give back the water they accidentally (or not) stole. Taking the water back will revert the Star Children back to their original age.
These mermaids are small at first, but they'd be able to change their size and become larger. If someone tries to fight them, they will just fade away and reappear back near the water. They are 100% peaceful.

Who to blame & the Fountain itself
The Fountain of Youth is located in Cruel Summer, near Kaneki's and Dirk's ranch, throughout the whole event. Kaneki was the one that summoned it through spoons without really having seen the building before, or being very specific about what he wanted, which is what made it go wrong. Please do blame Kaneki for this.
He will however still think he can fix it somehow. If anyone tries to destroy the fountain will probably have to deal with a tiny angry ghoul because Kaneki believes he can fix things without destroying his chance at becoming immortal.
But even if convinced to destroy it, the Fountain is actually kind of indestructible until all the water is returned: after it is destroyed, it will just rebuild itself again. Kaneki will not be able to actually stop anything, and the plot will have to run its course. Sorry guys!

Opt-Out
Characters would only be affected if they touch the water from the fountain. Players can simply state that the waters did not reach the characters, allowing them to stay away from the event. Since the mermaids will only be near the waters and those who took some of the water, as long the characters avoid the water, they will not be bothered by a mermaid.
The End
Eventually, the mermaids will return all the water to the Fountain of Youth. Doing so will cause the magical properties of the waters to disappear and the Mermaids to vanish, and it's assumed that they returned to their world.
The fountain will remain behind with mild anti-aging properties. Nothing drastic and nothing permanent, but good enough to keep the skin clear!
Kaneki will not become immortal )= (there are other ways for him to become immortal actually. Potions, requesting a new power through spoons, etc. He is just very extra and goes for the most complicated options).
