ooc: Blackout Repercussions

[neriumoleander]

Hi Everyone!

This is just a post to plot out potential repercussions between your characters and Nerium from the blackout. I'm open to anything, particularly if this calls from some use of the Magical Regulations/SCPD/Coven of Twelve as it would help move those plots forward all around :)

Or anything else at all!

For the sake of context, it is Grimhilde tradition to create utter havoc on Halloween, and the blackout is tame in comparison to most. Nerium would also not likely recognize any attempt at enforcement by authorities, should they try to assert it. 

Additionally, to answer a few inquiries, the shadow creatures that will be coming from the dark are just that - shadow creatures. Shadows come to life in illusion - from unicorns to skeletons to spirits, to whatever fantastical thing you want. They will believe they are alive and act as such, but they cannot cause harm to your character (besides scaring them, or maybe even delighting them, its your call).

Contextually, would those who've always lived in Siren Cove be pretty used to things going anywhere from awry to possibly serious-damage-caused on Halloween then, in a Devil's Night sort of way and also pretty much assume it's the Grimhildes? Might affect how Mira reacts, but also good to know in general.

(Wren otoh is naturally anti-authoritarian, not particularly into capitalism, and not attached to his cell phone, so he's just legit gonna be delighted.)

Those who live in Siren Cove would likely have experienced curses and bewitching on Halloween by the Grimhildes (likely much more cruel spells by Nerium's grandmother). I'm going to say it only happens on random Halloweens of their choosing, to add to the chaos and unexpected nature, but they would definitely know it came from her.

And Wren can be as delighted as he wants :) Nerium isn't actually seeing this as a bad thing. To her, the town should be utterly delighted to be removed from technology and plunged into magic. And don't people want to be scared on Halloween?
