▶ PLOTTING.011


On the evening of 24th, the twilight sky of Lunatia turns blood red. What looks like a star shines so brightly in the horizon that you avert your eyes. Familiar trumpets resound all over the city, but you don't need to look up to know who is here. Looming over the citizens of Lunatia is the masked seraphim, King Majestas.

Television channels and communication devices all over the planet are magically tuned in to his arrival whether they like it or not, and cutting off the power supply does nothing to prevent you from gazing upon his heavenly visage. Though his face is hidden behind his lion mask, his presence commands all to look upon him.


King Majestas

Twelve moons ago, the gods blessed my feeble form once again with the energy I thought I would never have again: Chroma. Every day, I savored it with the delight of a starving man. But a king does not crawl on all fours for scraps. I searched for a land that would satisfy my — nay, our hunger.

I found a most succulent feast in Port Sylvel. Yes, their Chroma was exquisite. Rejoice, for their lives have finally served a most noble purpose!

Our hearts beat once again with the vigor of ages past! It is with great honor that I resume what was left unfinished all those centuries ago. Lunatia, no, all of Prismatica will pay for their sin of pride. Prismals think themselves gods but I, the Prideful King Majestas, shall put them in their rightful place!



I Can't Get Used To Living Without, Living Without, Living Without You
03/24 | Lunatia | top

Majestas removes his lion mask to reveal a face full of eyes, which his magic broadcasts all throughout the city. Making eye contact with Majestas directly for five seconds or more results in either of the following:

 A  Victims see an illusion created from their memories, which Majestas twists to fit his own needs. The victims are forced to gaze at their past sins and mistakes that no one else can see, showing them how small and pitiful they are. They will feel that there is no point in their struggle. They will always be tainted. The only way to salvation is through Her.

Those who succumb to the despair fall into a trance-like state, their eyes as bright and hollow as the starry night sky. As their bodies stand still, they repeat the words:

EVERY EYE SHALL SEE THEM.

Conversation is impossible. All they will say is,

EVERY EYE SHALL SEE THEM. EVERY EYE SHALL SEE THEM EVERY EYE SHALL SEE THEM EVERY EYE SHALL SEE THEM EVERYEYESHALLSEETHEMEvERYeYESHaLLSeeTHeM

Nothing you can say or do will ever reach them.

If you are unaffected, touching the victims will instantly overwhelm you with a barrage of voices in your head. You are forced into a shared trance with the victim to witness how foolish they are.

 B  Victims see a dream created from their desires, which Majestas twists to fit his own needs. In this dream, the victims are showered with compliments and exalted for their achievements (however paltry), filling them with a sense of (perhaps unfounded) pride. They feel it is because of Her that they are so blessed. Everyone who does not worship Her is beneath them.

Once the victims awake from their sudden slumber, their hair grows as thick and long as a lion’s mane as they begin to act with what one can call confidence at best, arrogance at worst. They will do anything to feel superior to others and step all over them. They might also, in their arrogance, begin to be more reckless in their endeavors. Crimes grow rampant as many believe themselves to be above the law.

Those with this particular affliction are beyond hope, for stupidity is impossible to cure.

Questions about who She is are always deflected and left unanswered, if not met with contempt. How could you forget your Goddess?





You’re So Self-Satisfied, I Don’t Need You
03/25 | Lunatia | top

A blindfolded Magister Scientiae Alcmene manages to intercept Majestas’s broadcast by midnight. A heavily wounded Captain Natela of the Moon Knights reports that Majestas has breached the royal palace. True enough, Majestas himself soon emerges from the castle with what seems to be a young woman struggling and slowly crystallizing away as Majestas drains her of her Chroma...

It is Queen Elara. As the Moon Knights pursue her, Majestas brings her to the top of Caelus Tower, where all the Chroma of the city has converged, and commands the captured queen to revive his beloved with her power. It is time for the Beasts of the Calamity to show the planet their glory. Together, they shall claim Lunatia and its Chroma for their Goddess. Though Elara protests, she relents out of fear for the safety of the Moonblessed and her people, especially as more of the Moon Knights fall. Using the tower's orb of light, she begins the reviving ritual, ignoring the crystallization that has already encased her limbs...

The race to the tower won’t be easy. The trumpets sound once more, and all those affected from Part I grow wings like their seraphic master, a familiar sight to those who witnessed the king’s revival. With their superhuman strength and otherworldly fire magic, they attack both Prismals and Moonblessed. Joining them are Majestas’s army of winged lions and crystal lion golems. Their numbers overwhelm the Moon Knights and even the most powerful Moonblessed.

When Lunatia’s chances of winning look slim, the Lunar Scientia finishes analyzing Majestas’s magic and releases protective seals. After the tragedy of Port Sylvel, the Lunar Scientia has since collaborated with the Lyestellus Kingdom to defeat Majestas. The seals are carefully crafted from a Dracofoot leaf and able to be imbued with a fragment of the user’s humility using their Chroma.

Slap these seals on those affected and they will be freed from Majestas’s spell, no matter the stage of their control. The seals can also be worn as protection against any possession. Moonlacing is the easiest and fastest way to enchant the seals with Chroma. Channeling your own Chroma alone is possible, but will significantly drain you afterward. Use the seals to counter the Prideful King’s magic! That big ole birdbrain hates it when you do that.

As more and more Prismals and Moonblessed are reclaimed from Majestas’s possession, the Prideful King grows weaker and weaker as a result of the countering Chroma influx. The defensive magic that protects his minions weakens along with him. Moonlace with your fellow Moonblessed to power up and give him and his army a piece of your mind!





God Knows, Got To Make It On My Own
03/25 - 03/27 | Lunatia | top

As the sun sets, a resounding roar of rage and agony shakes Lunatia. It is Majestas in his final moments, his sorrow hidden behind his lion mask. Perhaps he should have waited until he could use Basti’s power, but he couldn’t let the Beast take all the glory twice. He laughs to himself. In the end, his arrogance was his downfall. But that doesn’t matter anymore.

The ritual is complete. His beloved can live once again, and she will soon fulfill their duty to the Goddess in his place… Majestas has dissipated into Chroma, which now powers the business-as-usual Lunatia.

A day after the invasion, Lunatia redirects their efforts toward clean up duties and recovery. Hospitals and the local government are currently recruiting volunteers! Like many other Prismals and Moon Knights injured during the invasion, Queen Elara is currently hospitalized. Until her condition stabilizes, no one is able to reach her at this time. Until she wakes up, there are wounds to tend to, gardens to be replanted, debris to be cleared away, and buildings to be repaired.

Although the Moonblessed were essential in the fight against Majestas, some extremists feel that the Moonblessed caused more harm than good by inadvertently reviving Majestas in the first place. Anti-Moonblessed sentiments fill hashtags on social media (some by trolls and some by spam accounts) and graffiti in Level 3 and 4. However, the majority of the population and the government continues to support the Moonblessed, sending them messages of encouragement and continuing to reward them for their efforts.

A certain Moon Knight also remains by their side!


Officer Fahrouk

We went to Port Sylvel to assess its situation after King Majestas passed. The crystal lions are gone, so it’s safe for civilians to visit again. My daughter and I were able to visit the grave of my wife.

Hala was crying because she thought the Sylbelian flowers were gone, but the fields weren’t crystallized! Praise the Moons, the lands around the port seem to have normalized. But I’ll leave the detailed explanation to Lunar Scientia.

You’ll stay safe, won’t you Moonblessed? Don’t listen to those trolls online. My colleagues and I don’t blame any of you for what happened. After all that you’ve done for us, Lunatia has many to thank you for. No matter what anyone else says, I will be by your side!



NOTES
KING MAJESTAS ▶ Aside from mind control and illusion magic, the Prideful King is able to conjure razor-sharp halos and wings. The color of his and his minions’s fire magic is blue.

PART I ▶ As indicated in the log, the effects in Prompt I-A and I-B can only be healed by the protective seal. Nothing else will work. Moonlacing and/or attempting to overwrite the magic will not work.

SINFUL TRANCE ▶ The victim must remember the memories playing out. It can be anything as long as they will feel ashamed of their past sins and mistakes.

SHARED TRANCE ▶ The duration can be as long as you desire while the trance is in effect. You are free to witness multiple victims’s different memories.

POSSESSION ▶ As always, customization and depth of possession is up to you. Minor details such as wing appearance and color can be freely decided by players.

PROTECTIVE SEALS ▶ As stated in the log, moonlacing is the easiest and fastest way to enchant the seals with Chroma. Channeling your own Chroma alone is possible, but will significantly drain you afterward.

OPT IN AND OUT ▶ There will be safe areas in Lunatia to evacuate to. Wearing protective seals will allow players to avoid possession effects on their characters.

Moonblessing: Sanguis
Smut Preferences: Always open, though without some aphro she's going to require build up because lol... walls and stuff. BUT! If you hit me up we can definitely work something out, no problem!

Log Plans:

☾ I definitely plan to have Re-L affected by the illusions. She... has a lot of regrets and terrible things she's seen / done / not acted on that would be primo to haunt her about once I have the chance, so why not. I'm also thinking I might do the arrogance prompt if only because Re-L with a huge thick mane of hair being an asshole to the point of child her amuses me a lot.

☾ Since wings are also very valid to the lore around Ergo Proxy and Re-L, I'm absolutely thinking she will sprout wings and will need to be slapped with a seal. Let me know if you're in particular interested in having your char seal her or anything! She's also pretty inhumanly strong despite looking as thin and reedy as she is.. and won't be thinking about watching it or holding back. So I'm open to her being injured in the struggle for a seal or something. Just discuss with me if possible beforehand!

☾ The good news is she's got good-ol' Amrita cells, so she'll heal quickly. If anyone is so inclined she even might be willing to share to help out, though she'd be a terrible, impatient nurse otherwise.

☾ If there's something you can think of that I haven't laid out (even kinda-sorta) here, let me know! I'm always willing to plot anything and everything.

Just saw your plotting comment, I'd LOVE for them to fight each other! We can hash out how that'll go down since... it sounds like they'll both be pretty tough, but I'm hoping for Itachi to have a difficult time of it anyway. So maybe they fight, he's able to get a seal on her, they both come out of it with some of their own injuries/damage? He'll probably leave quickly to go lick his own wounds alone as soon as she's no longer possessed.

It'll be a great introduction to adult Re-L either way 8)

Smut Preferences: He's not really one for sex most of the time, is currently in the 'gay/asexual stammering' stage of sort of being with Martin.
Log Plans:
This event seems designed to screw Jon up!

Jon is going to have a very very bad reaction to the Eye chanting, and spend a lot of time wondering what he did to cause this; in canon, Jon is an avatar and servant of an eldritch fear monster from outside reality known as Beholding/The Eye. So yeah, he's going to be blaming himself a *lot*.

He's not going to get dragged into a trance, but Martin likely is; this means Jon is going to be very frantic, and will do basically anything to get him back. Including moonlacing to charge up seals to help him do that. And probably breaking out Archivist powers to help fight Majestas and the people possessed by him.

Jon is generally good against illusions and weirdness, and this isn't his first apocalypse!
