DECEMBER 2021 EVENT
WINTER MOURNING
RUN, RABBIT, RUN
LOCKJOINT
CODING
Hello! We are trying a new style of event this December with archival-like entries that characters can ICly find in the Archives. This should allow characters to be able to plan against certain events that occur in-game and do research ahead of time, during the event, or after the fact.
The idea is that these prompts will provide you with all the possibilities characters could theoretically face from the prompt. We hope this leaves more open-ended opportunities for people to engage with. Anything mentioned in the excerpts could be an experience characters encounter. You can always ask for clarification on any prompt on the plotting page.
This is a way to keep all event prompts relevant since new characters would be able to "read up" on these events/excerpts by visiting the Archives or other such resources for information about past events and what they can anticipate from the setting.
We hope this new style makes sense and is fun for players to work with! They will rely on players creating more of the atmosphere than the prompts, but we think that the prompts will provide the perfect guidance as to what the atmosphere should feel like. Enjoy!
IMAGE DESCRIPTORS IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE
Prompt One
[Image One: Holiday themed antler decoration.]
[Image Two: White stag with perfect, circular antlers with bits of ice attached.]
Prompt Two
[Image One: Sculpture of white rabbit with neck caught in a snare. Non-graphic.]
[Image Two: Person in red cloak and wolf mask turning around.]
Prompt Three
[Image One: Puppet making bloody snow angel in snow.]
[Image Two: Bloodied hands wrapped in bandages clenching.]

[A passage from Rituals of Trench: Remembering Our Pasts reads the following:]
"A long-standing tradition to celebrate Bone Season is for Deerians to collect antlers and bones salvaged from natural resources and create decorative home accents. These antler-bone decors are known formally as Winter Mournings and can be found in almost every residential home throughout Deer Country. Winter Mournings can be made to look like wreaths, candle holders, or simply an antler with a bow hung up on a wall.
Winter Mournings is seen as a way to honor one's past tribulations and how one has managed to survive and overcome hardships during their life. Winter Mournings serves as a testament to survival and a willingness to keep surviving even when things look bleak and dismal.
Creating Winter Mournings is considered a blessing to the Pthumerians Dorothea, Remina, and Argonaut. You will know if the blessing was accepted once your Winter Mourning begins to glow like the moon. Touch your Winter Mourning and you will be pulled back in time to a memory of a specific time when you or someone else had to survive something physically or mentally challenging. For some, it is merely a memory that cannot hurt, but for others, you may want to proceed with caution as it has been known to pull people physically back to times of war.
One cannot choose which memory they wind up in if it is their own, a friend's, or a complete stranger's. Winter Mournings was designed to create a sense of union and empathy among residents and is meant to open your mind and heart to those who have suffered around you. It is time you explore your past, or someone else's past, with an open mind and see how the other side has lived through hard times. These memories are known to be from adolescence, adulthood, or sometimes even futures that have not yet happened or timelines you have never known. After all, Remina sees all past and all history. That means they see all of your past and history too.
No memory lasts forever though. Once the memory has been concluded, you shall be brought back to the present by the Winter Mourning Stag: a great white beast with a circle of frozen antlers. It will come to you when the time is ready, and you will return to the present like waking from a dazzling dream.
Experiencing Winter Mournings can stabilize one's mood and provide restful sleep after, even if the memories may be difficult to swallow. It truly is a tribute to honor past horrors and traumas. Some memories are painful to remember, but forgetting them will never do anyone any good either. So hang your Winter Mournings and remember what matters.
Survive another day. You are worth it."

FAQ
1. Winter Mournings can produce new memories every time you touch them or the same memory.
2. Characters cannot choose what the memory is.
3. Characters can arrive in each other's memories regardless of if they already know each other. Multiple people can experience the same memory.
4. You can either experience the memory as a memory you can't touch or experience - or you can physically be in the memory and have to survive the situation as well. If you die in memory, your body will die wherever you had been touching the Winter Mourning.
5. Palebloods are capable of altering memories or how they or others experience memories.
6. Characters can be pulled into memories at random - as long as one of the characters in the memory share is touching a Winter Mourning at first.

[An excerpt from Legends of Trench: Curses and Causations reads the following:]
"One of the most notorious legends of Trench is without a doubt the tale of The Huntress and the Hare. Most Trenchies have been told this tale since they were children, but for those unfamiliar, settle in.
This story begins with a mischievous god and an ambitious huntress. The Pthumerian Dorothea loved to play tricks on hunters trying to survive the Bone Season, setting animals free from traps and remaking the traps to catch the hunters instead. One day, a darkblood Huntress was fed up with Dorothea preventing her from catching food for her family and decided to settle the score. The Huntress began to hunt for Dorothea specifically, but it is no small feat hunting the god of trickery and survival.
The Huntress started to rely on her darkblood powers to alter reality to make the perfect traps. Innocuous trees turned into glue traps that anyone would stick to until they were freed by a darkblood or death took their pain from them. Walking through bushes would snag legs and necks, effectively trapping whatever creatures were unfortunate enough to wander for food. Magical snares and beartraps lock around victims with unrelenting force, leaving people and animals to try for help until they cry no more. While this took many innocent lives in the woods, animals, and people alike, it never seemed to work on Dorothea.
Dorothea continued to outwit the Huntress until she eventually drove the Huntress insane. The Huntress died without ever catching Dorothea, but they say her vengeful spirit awakens in winter and begins to set her traps yet again. The Huntress sends her traps and her dead animals after vilebloods and warmbloods to spite Dorothea and hope to maybe catch the god's attention. But Dorothea is no passive god. Dorothea spurs vilebloods and warmbloods to defend themselves against darkbloods and coldbloods.
Infamously, this has created enormous tension between the blood types during December some years, and it is said that the blood lust has caused the types to begin hunting one another regardless of old friendships and alliances. Beware the Huntress's curse. Some believe darkbloods and coldbloods can still hear her haunting commands and cries from the Trenchwood.
They say there is no ease for the tension between the bloodtypes until December has passed, but some believe palebloods may provide relief if they are willing."

FAQ
1. Characters will increasingly feel the urge to actively hunt one another using traps/etc.
2. The Huntress's curse includes undead animals/beasts chasing after warmbloods and vilebloods and magical traps. Players can invent unique traps for their characters.
3. There will be an innate urge to chase/hide from one another.
4. The curse can be broken by paleblood intervention, character death, or a gradual wearing off by the end of the month.
WHEN: All of Bone Season
WHERE: On Sleeper bodies
CONTENT WARNINGS: Mild body horror, blood magic curses, physical curses, cures through blood ministration/blood letting, possible skin removal, injuries, possible death via starvation/exposure.

[An passage from The Sleeper Condition; Chapter 13: Bodily Aches and More. Found exclusively at the Lumenarium:]
"Generally speaking, Sleeper blood allows Sleepers to navigate this world without the fear of illness and disease. However, no organic body is perfect, and Sleeper blood has its own set of ailments to fret over. Blood Ministers have studied the phenomena of Lockjoint for years now and believe that it is linked to the crystalization found in Sleeper death, though the exact connection remains unknown.
Lockjoint tends to begin and last throughout Bone Season. Some Sleepers may never experience it, but for many, it becomes a reoccurring issue to dread each season. This condition forces blood magic to gather at the joints and effectively lock up. Sleepers find it difficult to move their bodies at the bends, fingers, knees, shoulders, etc without some form of discomfort. Minimal lockjoint can be painful and annoyance, but critical lockjoint can be fatal.
The most severe cases of lockjoint documented have shown Sleepers to have crystalization form over their joints, rendering parts of their bodies completely immobile. Some Sleepers have been found dead in this condition, all their joints crystallized, and it is believed most died from natural causes thereafter.
One can determine they are experiencing lockjoint when the coloration around the joints begins to darken in color, typically looking like a bruise. Calcification may occur rapidly the more magic a Sleeper uses or the more they expose themselves to outside elements. It is imperative that Sleepers remain properly clothed during Bone Season, even if they are coldbloods, and to invest in enchanted clothes that can lock in heat.
A known cure for lockjoint is the art of bloodletting. Puncturing the joints with small incisions seems to allow a release of the built-up magic and can provide immediate relief to the Sleeper. Catching lockjoint early is imperative. Alternative methods are soaking in hot springs and salted water.
Those who are in a more severe state will have to carefully have the crystals removed. This will likely remove the skin as well. Local anesthesia is highly recommended for the procedure. This process is known to leave scarring. The crystals can be saved and used as bloodstones from whoever they were harvested from. If you find a Sleeper dead from lockjoint, make sure to harvest the crystals as they are incredibly valuable.
This curse is believed to stem from Sleeper blood magic congealing within the body in contrast with the atmospheric magic of Bone Season. There is no known prevention for lockjoint. Lockjoint can impact all Sleepers regardless of bloodtype or the material their bodies are made from."

FAQ
1. This impacts characters regardless of blood type or their body - meaning it can impact characters with metal/plastic/plant/wood/etc bodies.
2. Players can choose how rapid or severe this gets and how quickly they can be healed.
no subject
[He looks delighted, almost childishly so, at the idea. He knows that humans take trips to hot springs resorts and it's a big event. So of course, he wants to be part of that.]
no subject
[ riz is pleased to hear the excitement, finding that it likewise heartens him in looking forward to it. his smile broadens. ]
[ he lifts a paw to gesture somewhere to the west of them. ]
One's that way, I think. [ he has a pretty fair understanding of trench's layout - not to say he's explored all of it... ] It's not too far from here.
[ he has very little concept if that would be far for a human-like being, actually... ]
no subject
[He starts to walk off the in the direction that Riz pointed! He has no idea where he's going!]
no subject
That sounds like something animals from my world would do, too. ... It's not as nice as that, though. No ping pong or special meals. [ a sigh. ]
[ the bear likewise strides along; he matches whatever pace kaworu is most comfortable with ambling steps (while he's also somewhat stiff and bruised, he's not so to the extent that his companion is) - moving just slightly ahead as a guide. ]
Achelliac may be more like that, but... [ he trails off. yup. ] This place is just called the Rocks. It's a bunch of cliffs.
[ talk about lowering expectations. ]
no subject
[Going to turn to him and look so BETRAYED. HOW COULD RIZ DO THIS. DO HIM SO DIRTY LIKE THIS???]
Then we should go to the other one.
no subject
[ -- ah. riz is surprised for a second, and then laughs. it's a deep sound, but sincere in how he hadn't expected that suggestion (demand?). while his pace slows, he doesn't yet stop. ]
Not sure 'bout that... I could probably get in, no problem, but you'd probably look too young to fool anyone.
[ he's evidently thought about this, ok!! even if admittedly he isn't entirely certain how it's restricted, hm. ]
no subject
Okay, he's quite tiny and barely passes for 12, let alone 15. So Riz has a point. Or would have a point if Kaworu understood the point being made.]
Why does our age matter?
no subject
[ riz has to pause as he thinks on how to best explains this. ]
[ while also considering his target audience - it feels awkward to assume someone doesn't know things, but simultaneously, he suspects kaworu might appreciate a more frank description. ]
[ he will keep looking ahead. ]
Kinda like a club where males go to do stuff -- [ he is nailing this. ] -- ... intimate stuff, with each other. They probably wouldn't appreciate guys our age trying to hang around, much.
no subject
[Okay, he knows about sex. But only in the most clinical way possible. It's how humans create more humans. It sounds sticky and rather vile. But kissing... now that's where it's at.]
I've already done that so we're old enough.
no subject
[ like kaworu had just said something unbelievable, in suddenly that has them old enough!! riz continues to trudge through their cold terrain. ]
We could go in a few years. [ or else he figures out what even is considered adulthood in trench? is there a non-sexy area of achelliac? ] And you aren't freezing over from Lockjoint.
no subject
[IS HE BEING SERIOUS. It's possible he is serious. Or joking. But after that he promptly sneezes so hard that it seems to take him a few moments to recover and remember what planet he's on.
He sniffs (and probably wipes his nose on the jacket sleeve, sorry Riz).]
Ugh. I hate this. Let's just get warm.
1/2
riz expression slips, and he's grateful he's walking on just a bit ahead. (who told him that? that he's not a wholly vegetarian bear?) maybe it is a joke. he hopes it's a joke. he can't tell. would it look suspicious if he overreacted? he'll respond like it is one, with a worse joke of his own. ]
Hah... Well, humans aren't really on the menu...
[ while not ideal, this is also a lie. they are pretty tasty. ]
[ he will be thinking of this exchange for the next three business days, thanks. ]
no subject
[ it may not be a full-fledged resort, but riz appears nonetheless excited for the find. besides - even in just closer proximity to the water, does the air feel warmer, with ice and snow visibly lessened. ]
... It actually looks pretty comfy.
no subject
Thankfully, he doesn't make any more comments as they walk towards the Rocks. Mostly just sniffling and sighing as he climbs over things. He's not... particularly athletic, apparently.
But he perks up once they get close and the air starts warming up. He already feels happier about that and it's inspiration enough to peak over the edge and check out the runes and algae.]
It's warm.
[So, he ducks down and unties his shoes, kicking them off, and then unbuttoning his collared shirt and then pulling off that and his t-shirt in one go. He's pretty skinny, every bone seemingly visible underneath his pale skin. No wonder the Lockjoint got him good.
Anyway, yes, he is just going to strip down right there and go into the water with zero shame.]
no subject
[ he likewise peels off his clothing, draping them neatly on the edge of some rock. then he dips in, fur appearing to fluff and darken beneath the water as it's submerged. there's a soft glow with the movement beneath the water. he sits to sink in about mid-level to his chest, feeling immediate relief wash over any sore joints and muscles. ]
I could stay here for a few days...
[ if only. ]
[ sighing and leaning back, he peeks over to his companion. his coat may have been discarded, and now has snot smeared onto it, but riz has enough experience with getting, uh, much worse out of his clothing, so - ]
You do have warmer outfits are your home [ a pause - considering what's been said, he's inclined to doubt this ], yeah? Who knows how bad this winter will get, or how long it'll last...
no subject
His fingers flex more easily, like he could get up play piano right now.]
Ah, I've been staying at the orphanage. I'll have to see what they have. ...How long does winter last? It's so quiet.
no subject
[ it is quiet, and a little strange because of that. and because like back home, not many animals see fit any longer to hide away during the winter. they usually still have lives to lead... ]
[ his ears twitch with the sound of rippling water. he looks up from being distracted by the glow and back to kaworu, appearing somewhat surprised at that admission. ]
The orphanage? ... Do you like it there? [ --he must, right? if he chooses to stay there? hm. ]
no subject
[He shrugs.]
Someone told me I should go there. It's where aimless and unwanted things go.
[That person probably mistook him for much younger than he actually is but it's not like that matters. Everything had always been provided to him, even if it was out of necessity and not indulgence, he had no way to understand how people find places to live.]
no subject
riz eyes widen; it's shocking to hear something like that pointblank. and he sinks further into the water, watching kaworu intently - like he might focus on a prey animal, even if there's no intent behind the incidental look. ]
... I think they were wrong about that.
[ it's rare he speaks with others like this. it's unpracticed and awkward.
cautiously, ] That's not something you believe, is it?
no subject
He shrugs thin shoulders, a gesture between being unsure and also unconcerned.]
Well, I don't matter like I did back home. There's no one watching over me. So perhaps, in that way, I'm more unwanted than I was before.
no subject
bearlybarely aware of how hugely freaking bad he is at this. the eye contact surprises him for a moment, met with a rounding of his own - indeed, prey animals, let alone many other carnivores, would look so directly. ]I don't know much about that...
[ that's sincere, anyway. riz certainly matters a whole lot less here, he thinks - let alone an angel meant for humanity's undoing. he's tempted to sink his muzzle halfway in the water. ]
But.. you helped me a lot, back at that farm. [ this is embarrassing and weird, isn't it? ] I like you, and it mattered to me, so...
[ while he doesn't shrug, uncertain as he may be in this moment, he's more certain that he can't be the only one that thinks similarly of kaworu!! ]
no subject
[At first, there's natural pushback. He can't even explain why. Like it's easier to give a logical reason than to indulge the feelings that surface.
Then he coughs, turning a little red.]
I like you too. So... we're friends?
no subject
Yeah... I'd like that.
[ so he would, anyway. he lets his mind stray for a moment - how would kaworu react, if he knew of everything that he did back home? how much would he care, being who he is? ]
[ but that's not for not now - maybe another time. ]
By the way... If you ever wanted to move, I'm sure you could find somewhere you like. There are a lot of places around here that could use more inhabitants.
no subject
We could have a sleepover! If we're friends, friends have sleepovers.
no subject
[ it sounds childish, and he wonders what sort of media kaworu's been indulging in to latch onto that. his eyes widen as the other boy moves closer, clearly pleased with himself and the resulting idea, and then he looks contemplative. ]
[ going back to the dorms every night had been... sort of like a sleepover, anyway. kinda. ]
We could. [ he nods agreement. it sounds nice...! ] You'd have to bring pajamas, though. And tell me what sorta snacks you like, so I can make 'em for us.
