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.

[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
[So… yes? But also no.
He draws his eyebrows together, looking over to her. How does he ask this? It could be another one of his memories, but in his experience he's not gone through two of his own with these winter mourning things.]
Did… something happen to you back then?
no subject
[Luz doesn't memorize quotes not from comics and books, Lance. She's still a geek].
What, when Deerington was falling apart? I was mostly flying from monsters then. Now granted, it was also during a time where I was just sort of living. I wasn't seeing Margot much, Eda and Miss Hardbroom had woken up, and soon after I'd had that encounter with the cave guys.
The month during Deerington died I was....just keeping it together. Barely.
no subject
Uh, yeah. A famous speech… don't worry about it.
[Ultimately it's not as important as what she's telling him now. In their first conversation, he has vague memories of her alluding to some bad things that happened to her. He was going through so much at the time though, there's holes in his memory.]
That… sounds about right for back then. The cave guys ate me, but I don't think this thing shows two memories of the same person…
[He looks at her in questioning concern.]
no subject
[Well that was worrying. Certainly Luz didn't plan on reliving these times in Deerington. Once it had started to make its turn, every day seemed to be a thing where she was just doing her best to deal].
They ATE you?! Seriously?! Ok, you know what, now I'm kinda glad that I...
[Luz trailed off. No, she still wasn't glad she killed them, even if they were evil and cruel and would certainly have eaten her piece by piece once she'd gotten weak enough. Life was still life, and the fire and smells that night was enough to give her nightmares she'd rather not think about].
If this is what they have to throw at me, I can take it. I don't know why it'd go here though.
[Luz had something of an idea, and it wasn't something she was especially happy to think about].
Unless this place just really likes making us relieve low points like this.
no subject
[Then he cringes, and shakes his head raising a calming hand to show it's not as bad as she thinks.] They ate me uh, after I was dead. Maul made sure of that.
[Then he frowns slightly when she cuts off like that. At this point since he had his own recompense, he still has conflict about it. But he doesn't believe it's as simple as killing is wrong in all circumstances. But he's not in a place to say anything on it right now.]
…I'd prepare for the worst.
no subject
Maul did WHAT?! After you DIED?! Ok, maybe he and I have to have a talk...again!
[What the HECK was Maul on when she wasn't looking? Jeez, his rap sheet tended to get much bigger the more she went down that hole.
And as for the killing, well. It was less about what was wrong and right, more about what it did to the person who did the killing. Specifically, it was what Luz was concerned about what it had done to HER].
I think that's becoming a rule of thumb, whether we're in Deerington OR Trench.
cw: mild mention of suicidal ideation
Oh, it's not like that. They had me in this trap and he was just sort of watching so I said if he's not gonna come get me out, maybe he can kill me before they eat me alive. So he did. Uh, with the force… after he made me ask him nicely. It was probably the quickest death I've had, at least. I was fine with it.
[He emphasizes how fine he was with a shrug and the detached matter of fact way he explains it. And he was. Not to say that he doesn't think Maul should have gotten off his ass and prevented him from dying at all. Like, obviously, that's the ideal thing to do just objectively speaking, but at the time he was not in a good place. A large part of him wanted to die, just not by being slowly eaten alive by cannibals. After a beat, he adds:] Please don't talk to him about it.
[Then he lets out a breath and nods in agreement, waiting for the memory to come with apprehension.]
It do be like that…
Re: cw: mild mention of suicidal ideation
It will be really REALLY hard NOT to talk with him about it! He could have just freed you instead of making you ask him to kill you! Sometimes it is REALLY hard to put myself into his head!
[Which was, of course, something that Luz understood by now was the point. There was clearly a lot going on in Darth Maul's head, with his powers and his vendettas, that Luz was pretty sure she was NEVER going to understand].
Granted, considering how they wanted to kill you, I get that. If I didn't have a choice, I might have thought the same thing.
[Especially with how long they'd been entertained by her cries and all. No, she would definitely have rather died than be slowly eaten alive, piece by piece.
But speaking of piece by piece, there was nothing for a moment and then Luz was walking out, staring at the barrenness of everything around her. The look on her face was hard to place, but it was somewhere between acceptance and grim determination. Luz stared at her past self, and for that moment, it came flooding back: exactly what she was thinking at that moment].
I remember this. It's nowhere as traumatic as your memory. Honestly, it isn't traumatic at all.
no subject
[Not that he told Maul he was wrong, but they did talk… he's just going to let Luz fill in the blanks on that. Hopefully. Then he hums when she acknowledges the harsh logic in the choices he had with the cannibals. He's gotten quite good at making hard choices when it comes to survival, both staying alive and protecting what little sanity he has left.
When Luz's past self appears, he leaves that topic behind then and then looks back to her when she says that. His brows draw together, not seeing how the way it compares to his trauma matters. He decides to gently rib her to try and release some of the tension.]
Man, what is it with kids and comparing trauma points? I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be here if it wasn't traumatic.
no subject
It's not that.
[Look, she knew that it was fruitless to say it, but she had to say something because being here, where it felt like it was the end of the world, she didn't know where to begin to describe this particular moment].
It's not flashy or anything, and it would normally just look like I'm staring at a barren landscape. But the reason we're here is because this was important.
It's the day I decided that I'd make my future in the next town.
[And as it was a decision she was still thinking about now, it never stopped replaying in her mind. Past her half awake, staring out into what felt like an endless void, hoping that she'd at least find a way to make things better in the next world, no matter what it would bring].
no subject
His brows draw together at the sight of her memory self and her explanation… okay, that's… huh.]
Did… something happen to make you start thinking about it, or…?
no subject
It's hard to say. Once the dream started to fall apart, every single moment at Deerington was a fight to stay alive. I somehow managed to not die in Deerington, can you believe that? But this day, I was looking around, seeing how quiet and desolate everything was. I thought of all the people I met here, and how they made me feel. I thought of my mentor and my teacher leaving at the same time, and then I thought of all the people that helped me cope.
And I said to myself, "If I make it out of this, I want to see where we go next, and I want to be able to laugh with everyone. For real."
[So it sort of manifested itself, with the caveat that the place they'd be in would be a lot like Deerington].
no subject
That's… super anime protagonist of you.
[There's other things he can ask about in a second probably, but for now, that's what he's drawing attention to. Because it feels like the moment requires it, especially after all they endured in his nightmare of a memory.]
no subject
I really should be mad about that, but with all the anime I've seen I can't deny the truth.
[And it honestly helped to joke about it a little].
no subject
Why didn't you take the lighthouses?
no subject
I did. One. I found out I was still THERE, in my world. I guess for me, it's important some sort of "me" is back there. Somehow I'm going to have an effect on the Isles. If I decided to stay, I'm pretty sure I would have forgotten everything about Deerington.
Not everything about that place is a good memory, but there ARE good memories. I didn't want to give those up.
no subject
That's kinda different from what I heard from other people. When they went, or "woke up" they went back to their lives like normal, no other them was there.
no subject
I heard that too. I guess it really depends on how important you are to the timeline? I'm still not sure how that works.
no subject
So… why were you so sure you'd forget Deerington if you stayed?
no subject
I didn't want that to happen to me. Some of those memories are super traumatic and damaging, but I wouldn't give up my GOOD memories for anything.
no subject
[He probably has more trauma than positive memories, and there are things he would like to get rid of… like the mental problems he has. And he wants to see home and his family again like crazy… but he wouldn't want to forget the things he found there either.]
no subject
[She didn't even want to MENTION how being suspended caused her to hyperventilate. She seemed weak enough as it was].
no subject
[Then he heaves a breath.] Feeling like that after something bad happens to you is normal. And if you… need to talk about it…
no subject
[Certainly Luz knew that she had a lot of inner angst that tended to stop her from living to her full potential].
Oh really? [Luz playfully gave Lance a surprised look]. You really sure that you want to hear about my baggage? First of all, I wasn't even born as an otter, so that's one big disappointment right out...
[She was kidding. Mostly].
Thanks, Lance. I appreciate that.
