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

[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.

I thought you loved working. That isn't the face of a guy who loves his job!
no subject
along the way, he passes through...Manabu. current-Manabu, who is watching slack-jawed until that phasing-through registers and makes him jolt.]
Holy-! Wh-! I--what? [he looks over his shoulder as the door closes, then back at Wu, looking baffled.]
Wait. Wait, what's...what's going on? Wu? What're you doing here?
no subject
He twists around at that classic Manabu sputtering ]
Manabu! [ The Manabu he knows, at least. He takes a few quick steps over to him ] Buddy! Who knows, I was decorating the Room and poof! Here I was. You doing okay? Anything awful we're about to experience?
[ Not his first rodeo, it's pretty obvious to Wu that he's in one of Manabu's memories ]
no subject
he doesn't. that's a relief.
until it's not, because he's still confused.]
Ye-yeah, I'm...I mean, I think I'm fine? Kind of thought I was dreaming, but... [but his dreams aren't usually this lucid. or...coherent.
he looks around.]
But this sure does...look like Big One...
no subject
[ Wu watches him, and is also grateful that Manabu doesn't just phase right through him. He doesn't much like being alone, especially not in an unknown place, even if it's a memory. ]
This is where you worked, right? You looked so young!
[ Not that he looks all that old, but that little Manabu? Just a little guy! ]
no subject
So this is a dream, huh... [he moves over to one of the seats, poking at it. still feels like a cushioned seat!] Of one of my first shifts? Seems like...
no subject
[ To prepare himself, and Manabu. He peers around the train car. It doesn't really look like the trains back home at all. ]
Where's it going? The Big One?
no subject
of...flower eyeballs. Manabu grimaces, starting to crouch and peer around and under the rows of seats. any freaky eyeball-flowers hiding in here?]
This one? I mean...if Big One is deployed, it's because something's happened. The one Bruce made me go tune up the turrets... [what was that one again?] Aa, I think we're meeting up with a stalled train. [he straightens back up, looking bewildered.]
What the...heck was I doing before this anyway? I can't remember...
no subject
[ He remembers the thing with the harmonica, and looks around as if Bruce will be right here. He reaches out to grab Manabu's wrist, and pulls him to follow the younger Manabu. If he's here, he's going to see what of Manabu's life he can ]
Did everything go okay? With the stalled train?
no subject
Bruce...
he clears his throat and refocuses on Wu.]
Ye-yeah, it should be alright. It's just kind of a slog, but that beats anyone getting hurt, so...you should be good until we can figure out what's going on.
no subject
[ He grabs Manabu's hand and pulls him toward the door that the younger ]
no subject
Wait, hang on! [he halts, grimacing.] E-even if this is just...just some weird Trench-stuff... [...] It's...weird Trench-stuff. What if--what, what if, I don't know...they, they turn into monsters or something when we interact?
[is it possible? yes. is Manabu digging his heels in because he's kind of scared to see his crew more potently than he has in a long time? also yes.]
no subject
[ The sheer power of a Wu who wants something is hard to restrain ]
no subject
Okay! Okay, okay, just--let me! Let me be in front, okay? So I can explain? Especially if things get hairy. Civilians aren't supposed to be on the Big One unless there's an emergency, you know!
[he wriggles his hand free and scoots past Wu, out in front, facing the engine door. after gulping his heart down his throat, he draws in a breath...exhales...and then, finger hovering over the door button, shoots a wincing look over his shoulder. is he...really sure about this?]
no subject
[ Because they're in SPACE and that's thrilling ]
no subject
[no real escaping it. Wu's pretty hyped up about this! and...and if it's not really...real it's...fine, right?
man.
he presses the button. the doors open. and...
...and no one reacts. it's like they're not even there, like the door never opened. and because this place is informed by his own memories, Manabu is there with them - the younger him, at his station next to a girl his age who is peeling the foil off a chocolate candy and popping it into her mouth.
on the opposite side of them, facing their own terminals, are two other men in the same SDF uniforms.
Hey, Bruce, one says, elbowing the other. How many ables do you want to bet we'll show up, and the stall is entirely fixable by the conductor?
Bruce scoffs, not looking away from his screen. Put some faith in the staff, David.
Enough chitchat, the captain calls from the front, handing a tablet back to a woman with impossibly long hair, who takes it back to her seat. We reach the target in three hours. Finish your prep. Manabu?
both the boy in the chair and Manabu himself straighten reflexively.
Sir?
I need you to move down to the cosmo jet car and do another check.
Eehh? But--
it's easy to see this is where the memory loops, where Bruce gets out of his seat, picking Manabu up by his collar and hoisting him up and out the door - through both Manabu-proper and Wu.]
no subject
Why is he having your check again? Does he not trust you? Did he just pick you up?!
[ Wu is indignant on Manabu's behalf, turning back around and stalking after Bruce and Manabu ]
no subject
[he relaxes a little, frowning around at the sight of everyone at their stations, just as they always used to be.]
He didn't trust me at first, no. I was just a rookie, after all...
no subject
Come on, Manabu! [ He tugs on Manabu's arm, wanting to follow them even if he's already seen it ]
no subject
all the more reason he's worried something's going to go amiss: how long do they have until this turns into a nightmare? he can't let Wu get caught up in that; god forbid it wind up like that hell James had wound up in with him.
he hesitates in front of the captain, whose arms are crossed and gaze is distant, unseeing the two interlopers. it feels weird, not being able to address him, not being noticed. and the terminal with their heading is just behind him...]
Erh...okay, just...let me look here... [the last thing he wants to do is phase through the captain the way his own ghost had done moments ago, so he awkwardly scoots past him, back to the metal piping in the wall, and bends so he can peer at the screen without having to get too close.]
This date... 2221...okay, so that...that was my first year. That lines up with Bruce still trying to get me to quit, at least.
[he straightens back up out of impulse before realizing he's standing partly in the captain. he jolts a bit and hops back, nearly stepping on Wu's toes.]
Urh, sorry! Sorry--uh, ye-yeah. Everything's tracking so far. I just don't know why this particular moment, you know?
no subject
[ Wu is starting to really not like Bruce, crossing his arms as he his gaze skips from Manabu to the captain to the other people on the bridge. At least Manabu is still Manabu, awkward and not totally aware of where his body is in space. That's familiar and comforting. ]
I don't know, maybe it's supposed to be mundane? Or maybe you're forgetting something?
no subject
But either way, Bruce had his reasons. I know it looks bad, but...but he was just scared of me getting killed. [he looks over to that figment of Bruce, feeling a tightening in his chest.] Because...he'd lost his last partner while they were on duty together. I guess...I kind of reminded him of that guy.
[a beat.]
...Though he might've actually hated me at first, I don't know. We didn't talk about it in that much depth, even after he warmed up to me, when I didn't wind up killed.
[it was Bruce who died instead. Manabu wasn't even around to help him. that guilt still sticks in his gut, and it's not going away for a while.]
Guess...I'm glad he'll never know how messed up I got...killed over and over and stuff.
no subject
Well, you proved him wrong! That's great. And rude of him for assuming you'd get yourself killed. You're perfectly capable! Honestly.
You know, Mako didn't like me when we first met, either. But look at us, now! But not for any reasons like that, I was just really annoying.
no subject
he double-blinks before looking back to Wu.]
Huh? [sorry, what was he saying? he's annoying?] You're not annoying...
[...well. not...not consistently. or intentionally!]
no subject
[ Well... then maybe Manabu wasn't as competent back then. They learn stuff, don't they ]
How long ago was this? How did you prove to Bruce that you weren't going to, y'know, die?
