▶ PLOTTING.006
Bright autumn stars shine across the harvest sky, constellations of rabbits and maidens signaling the coming of Geistnacht, bringing with it tidings from the great beyond all month long. Celebrations increase towards the end of the month with everyone being encouraged to host their own masquerades, bonfires, and communal seances to honor the dead. Young and old don elaborate costumes of all colors and shapes during the celebrations. Excitable children rush for the countdown on their A-FEAST app for Ainfeil’s Feast. At every doorstep, they carol a familiar tune:
Ainfeil eats,
Ainfeil blesses
Ainfeil’s treats~♫”
▶ It Was a Graveyard Smash
10/25 - 10/26 | Outside Lunatia, Solemn Grounds | top
Many Prismals across the planet take the time to visit the treasured Solemn Grounds located quite a distance away from Lunatia. Every year, access to this holy site is granted to the public, and the Prismals make the trip to pay homage to their relatives and ancestors. Known as the nexus between life and the dead, the Solemn Grounds is a popular destination for large processions and pilgrimage stops every year. Votive items such as flowers, candles, and crystal spheres that project the likeness of the dead can be seen lining beautiful sepulchers, filled with fully crystallized bodies posed in restful slumber. These items, as well as food, drinks and Geistnacht costumes, are sold at the several seasonal mobile stalls outside the Grounds.
During this time, any curious Moonblessed are allowed to venture past the cemetery gates before the Grounds close for the year. It’s a rare opportunity to peer into a gravity-defying emerald water stream that swirls around the cemetery, known as the Spring of the Ascended.
▶ Death Becomes You
10/27 - 10/29 | City of Lunatia | top
As the days barrel close to the month’s end, perhaps a few items in your apartment surreptitiously shift themselves around. You think you hear a strange howling that comes and goes in the evenings. Sudden drops in temperature bite your skin with a frost that vanishes all too quickly. But maybe it’s just the wind. Everything is fine.
Then, you see it.
An eye etched in crimson.
It is on the walls. It is on the ground. It is here. It is there. It never moves. It never blinks.
It only watches.
The Prismals don’t know what you’re talking about. They don’t see anything.
Everything is fine.
▶ Unchained Melody Plays
10/30 - 10/31 | City of Lunatia | top
Those lucky enough to avoid death’s touch will notice the growing number of disappearances among the Moonblessed. They’ve left their belongings behind, it isn’t all that strange. Moonblessed come and go all the time. Maybe you can rest knowing that they’ve finally returned to their world.
But at night, you swear you hear their whispers in your sleep. You can even feel their cold fingers across your cheeks and bones...
Desperate to return to the world of the living, the affected Moonblessed are doing everything in their power to reach anybody who will listen. They leave text messages on the device, write words in fogged glass, tamper with the music player, urge you to get a haircut like young Patrick Swayze’s—okay, maybe that last one won’t happen. Unless...?

10/25 - 10/26 | Outside Lunatia, Solemn Grounds | top
Many Prismals across the planet take the time to visit the treasured Solemn Grounds located quite a distance away from Lunatia. Every year, access to this holy site is granted to the public, and the Prismals make the trip to pay homage to their relatives and ancestors. Known as the nexus between life and the dead, the Solemn Grounds is a popular destination for large processions and pilgrimage stops every year. Votive items such as flowers, candles, and crystal spheres that project the likeness of the dead can be seen lining beautiful sepulchers, filled with fully crystallized bodies posed in restful slumber. These items, as well as food, drinks and Geistnacht costumes, are sold at the several seasonal mobile stalls outside the Grounds.
During this time, any curious Moonblessed are allowed to venture past the cemetery gates before the Grounds close for the year. It’s a rare opportunity to peer into a gravity-defying emerald water stream that swirls around the cemetery, known as the Spring of the Ascended.
A As you leave a few offerings of your own for the deceased, you overhear the warnings of a Prismal: don't blink. Nearby, you may notice the eyes of disturbing statues following you, their limbs moving slightly from where they were last. A few statues may appear to step away from where they were last standing, yet every time your head whips back, the statue remains still. And yet each time you look away, their presence feels even closer and more unsettling than before. Soon, a strange sensation prickles your back, as if crystals have begun to form down your spine…
There is nothing on your back, of course, but it does make you wonder. Although you may discover that moonlacing staves off the paranoia, you can’t hold a Moonblessed’s hand forever, at least not here. It’s best not to stay in one place for too long; there’s a reason they close the Grounds to the public.
B After wandering the Grounds long enough, you begin to hear a faint melody echoing from the Spring. Locals speak of beautiful merpeople that swim in its waters, responsible for ferrying the souls of the dead to the afterlife. As you approach in the hopes of seeing one, a pair of lovely eyes peers up at you from beneath the emerald stream, with hair like blue ink spilling across the surface. Lean in too close, and their slender arms will tug you inside. Open your eyes in the water and you will see images of deceased loved ones from your world and this one, aimlessly floating in the depths and always out of reach.
Nothing in the Spring compels you to swim toward them, but the longer you stay in the water, the more Chroma it drains from you until you are nothing but a crystal husk. It isn’t rare for grieving Prismals to meet their end here, so hope that you can be snapped out of it in time. Once you leave and look back, the only thing that remains is silence.
▶ Death Becomes You
10/27 - 10/29 | City of Lunatia | top
As the days barrel close to the month’s end, perhaps a few items in your apartment surreptitiously shift themselves around. You think you hear a strange howling that comes and goes in the evenings. Sudden drops in temperature bite your skin with a frost that vanishes all too quickly. But maybe it’s just the wind. Everything is fine.
Then, you see it.
An eye etched in crimson.
It is on the walls. It is on the ground. It is here. It is there. It never moves. It never blinks.
It only watches.
The Prismals don’t know what you’re talking about. They don’t see anything.
Everything is fine.
A On the 29th, an app will appear on your phone. Try as you may, it is impossible to delete. Upon opening the app, your device’s screen goes black. A large distorted eye appears.
Your device emits a strange white noise you can’t mute — especially when a strange song starts to play in a language you can’t understand. However, the slow and eerie melody is familiar... Sped up, it is the song of Ainfeil’s Feast, backwards.
What Ainfeil wants, Ainfeil eats.
The song stops. The screen shows a video feed of another Moonblessed. They seem to have opened the app, just like you. Something flashes on the screen — a question about something no one else should know: an embarrassing story, a dark secret, a painful truth. Although the question is for you to read, it is not for you to answer.
As you end your last sentence, hands spring from the nearest surface and seize your limbs.
The Moonblessed the app has connected you to must answer the question truthfully. The longer they refuse to cooperate, the deeper you are pulled into the floor or walls. Once the Moonblessed has answered, the hands will disappear.
It's your turn to answer.
Cooperate to escape, and a final giggle from the app signals the end of Ainfell's game. The threat is gone. Your device goes back to normal.
But the app remains.
B Those who failed to escape and are caught by the hands grow colder and colder as they get drawn into the darkness. You feel your arms about to freeze off. You look down.
You can’t see them.
The hands are gone, you are back where you were, but the damage has been done. Your other body parts continue to vanish until you are nothing but a soul, but you can sense traces of your essence — the last vestiges of your Chroma — where everything used to be.
You won’t be able to physically hold your device, but you will be able to possess your phone to use it. If you try to audibly speak to other solid Moonblessed, they may only hear you faintly, if at all. However, a solid Moonblessed may be able to feel your touch if they are relaxed and willing. Attempting to possess other items or other Moonblessed will not work.
Your voice grows fainter against the ambiance of your surroundings. Soon, only silence comes out of what you think is your mouth. However, your new form has granted you access to another plane. You can see now see the planet’s spirits of the damned. Ghosts from all eras and places gather in Lunatia every Geistnacht, from the ancients of Queen Tempeste’s time to the deaths in today's newspaper. Some jeer at you, play tricks, and tease, while others are possessed by their own anger, sorrow, or madness.
“You murderer! It’s all your fault! Give me back my son!”
“I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you! A thousand curses on your family!”
“Mommy, I’m so hungry...”
“Those loans…”
The wailing and lamentations do not stop, and the voices soon overlap, words turning into noise as they drown you in their endless agony.

Unless...?
A For the brave or sensitive to the paranormal, if you can follow the presence of a determined Moonblessed ghosts or somehow sense their scant traces of Chroma, try reaching out to them. You may notice vestiges of their skin becoming all the more visible. You might even feel their eyelashes against your fingers or their lips against your cheek. The more you moonlace with these Moonblessed on the other side, the more they will start to materialize. The deeper and more passionate your embrace, the faster their bodies of the Moonblessed will be restored.
B It’s not only your friends and other ghost Moonblessed that will seek to make contact. The damned will also be doing what they can to seduce you into their embrace. They may mimic a loved or trusted one’s habits: a song they used to sing, a phrase they used to say, or little things like leaving flowers on your desk or unwashed dishes in the sink. If you help them materialize with your Chroma, you may find yourself unwittingly giving form to great horrors. Until the end of Geistnacht, they will creep into the world of the living to try and terrorize both Prismals and Moonblessed.
The damned, the app, and the crimson eye will not go away until the end of the 31st, so be prepared to endure long evenings with ghouls, criminals and creatures such as one of those angry cerberus beasts, or masked fox cultists that were felled several months ago, or even a mutant parasitic plant making its home on your bed. They are not happy to see you, and they’re going to do more than just chew up your slippers and eat your socks!

KLJSKJLD i have to save my next spark for himbo lucio.. he's calling my name but maybe we'll get a christmas sandalphon just for you.. ugh he can be festive? it's alright, that one skin is kind of alterish but all she gotta do is bring sanchan to the dark side and he can be alter too? y/y!
p.s. x4: why does he do this to her when he knows she can't reject it.. she can't even leave it sitting there. how dare he do that? she is never troubled how dare he come to these conclusions! she's just sensitive bc she loves her crew so much thats all... but that's adorable wtf.. teamwork... pushes it off the table djeeta will be WeakTM
no subject
I'm saving for the eventuality of Lucifer getting revived, myself. His merch train has only continued to ramp up, so I know it's coming. Especially since they keep reminding us that these two Supreme Primarchs are pining for each other forever. I really hope next summer they release himbo, friends wanted him so much. But also, I'd go nuts for a dark Sandalphon, because that's my element... Do it, make him a dark alt...
P.S. x5 Sorry Djeeta, a Singularity friended him and now you must pay the price. Eat this chocolate cake with coffee in it that he might or might not have made himself, or don't, it can just sit there staring her down. Possibly from the floor. Wow Danchou.
no subject
i'm cheering for you, who knows they might drop them on vday.. as a dual unit imagine. oh moo same, dark is my element i say with 5 gislas and only one fs and no vday clarisse i am just so deranged. i hope they make him dark.. i'll do anything to have him. i'll reduce all my grand weaps all over again.
p.s. x6 i'm going to ground you too. listen don't wow me! you were just too kind to me and i got spooked!! i'm the only ball of sunshine around here that should be cheering you up!! this isn't your job!
no subject
Lucifer and Sandalphon dual unit would be so cute... I wish we'd get male vday characters, c'mon Cygames. I'm dark dagger spec and allergic to enmity, so I've headed down the stanmity route. One more fallen sword to go, rip me. Dark Sandalphon would be a gift for us both. Maybe he'll be the next Vira and gradually spread across elements.
P.S. x7 Wow watch your mouth who said he's nice? Nobody that's who, he's just clearing some inventory here, don't read into it. Tsuns into next week, because he can't just be honest about feelings, that's too much.
no subject
kmr shaking: male vday chara?i have to laugh. ugh you are so ugly helloooooo, i do staminity too because i can't stand seeing myself in red. ugh darktor.. thank you parazonium. just need more fs and i'll be ready. my hades is quaking "but dark gw is soon, it has to unquake" stop it doesn't have to. omg i hate we had the same thought because i type and read at the same time.. bad habit of mine but yes.. that would be good. christmas sandalphon has to be dark, i take no constructive criticism.
p.s. x8 hello... so you're telling me you're doing this out the darkness of your heart? looks at you with big eyes. so you're telling me if i dumped this coffee out you wouldn't care sanchan... after everything you've done with those delicate fingers of yours.............
no subject
Well then we're two of a kind. I'm also darktor and call it that, and Parazonium-chan is my best pal. Tear it from my cold, dead hands... Because of his Christmas dialogue, I fully believe in the potential of Santaphon one day. Let us have him, Cygames. Dark would be a dream.
P.S. x9 Dumping coffee on the floor is a sin, don't be a philistine, wow.
no subject
ME i reduced my para once but she came back she knew i was a fool so here we are, trying all over again but please give me ur luck so i can draw more fs.. didn't get one on shiva release.:/ TRUE santaphon would be so cute but watch him be a skin with uno.
p.s. x10 listen, i'm going to do more than drop coffee because we really are fighting in your working place, i hope this is good!
no subject
Oh no, Parazonium-chan... I pulled two and went heck okay I'll uncap, and a year later I got another. Waiting for the dagger equivalent of Chrysaor I guess, so I can dual wield my Parazonium-chans. I'm not sure about luck on FS since I sacrificed my annitix to acquire one of them and another was on the way to sparking a grudging Lucio. Next one may also be annitix unless Cygames turns out something I simply must have. I'm on a mission. But Santaphon skin would be cute, although I really want the cafe outfit.
P.S. x11 He's so offended right now who is this uncouth woman why is she bleeding everywhere, she's already spilled his coffee because I said so...
no subject
that's so ugly you know kmr hates dark now he would never do that for us. ugh.. GOD my anni tix went to s grea bc i sparked vajra looks out window.. but i need another fs so bad that or ixaba. what is my alanaan and shiva supposed to DO just sit there and look sexy? NO! lucio is so sexy its ok i would have done the same. kmr needs a cafe event for all of them bc those were cute skins, i'll spend 90 dollars for them GIVE THEM KMR.
p.s. x12 WHY do you put djeeta in this position of having to bleed on his coffee beans but they may give excellent flavor... is this what you're into now, sanchan???
no subject
Vajra came home for me, and the very first annitix went to S.Diantha. S.Grea has refused but that's fine, Diantha feeds and heals and I accept that this was meant to be. I just need the FS, and I guess Chevira for light. Take my Ixabas, my fire's not ever going to get use out of them. If I remember right I sparked Lucio back when people though he was Lucifer in some really terribad disguise, but lo, we've learned he is actually just Poopie. But that's fine, I can always use more wings. Cafe skins though, yes please. They'd make bank.
P.S. x13 Because I need to offend Sandalphon's sensibilities thoroughly so he doesn't immediately get pinged by Danchou Energy. Gotta pace this out for maximum effect...or something.
no subject
NOOO thats so cute s. diantha is so cute so i'll let you have this. i was a slave for the meta for kengonito so i needed grea but now i'm trying to play staff on my shoddy water team. sighs, never have i met europa. i haven't met chevira either, only the lucky people bring her home. takes all your ixabas.. soon alanaan will feed you're too good to me! i remember getting lucio when he was released (reduced his weap like 2 weeks after) and hated him SO bad because he was so stupid but now maybe poopie has rights. they need to just give us the mcds skin with the cafe skins and kmr would be living the dream with all the money he'd get over night why does he play us like fools!
p.s. x14 i hate i have to play the cool and mysterious danchou because i have to make this problematic for sandalphon, just count me in!
no subject
S.Grea hadn't happened yet when I got S.Dia, but since I'm a nut and want to still be alive on kengonito, it's fine. Europa's never come home for me, but Varoom has, so I guess I'll accept my fate. Eventually. After Hades. And more crying over Fimbuls. I think the summer event did more for my impression of Poopio than the end of 000 did, simply because here's this singular ancient entity second to only the gods
then why does he get knocked out so easily dangbeing chill with being called Poopie. Well that, and anyone who casually trolls Sandalphon without even trying is good in my book. Maybe one day we'll get all the skins...one day...P.S. x15 Give him all the problems, his life's been far too easy. I'm glad we're finally getting some horror too.
