Good evening Luceti! I have in the works a rather dastardly plot for people to partake in. Since the Moriarity plot has been cancelled ya'll can have this instead! Basically you know that god that's affixed to Helios' soul? The one by the name of Apep that gives Helios his cold skin. Well that god is going to be awoken in such a way so that he'll be able to possess Helios for a short amount of time. Either by running into Katie or a mallynap. More specifically August 6th-9th is when it'll happen. Also during that time frame the area around House 44, 46, and possibly 43 (if the Hunger Game's muns would want to play around with this) will be enshrouded in silence as the spell on Helios' ring, the sound canceling spell, will go haywire.

After that Helios is going to be hurting people, a lot. Mostly I'm trying to keep it to close CR but friends of said CR can get involved too. Apep will also be visible so anyone who comes across Helios when he's like this will see a giant phantom like snake behind him, and Helios' eyes will be freaky looking. Black sclera, red iris. TOTALLY NORMAL AMIRITE!? And if that gets a person to react then that's fine too! Apep for the most part wouldn't particularly care about who he hurts while he's out. He's a god of chaos and destruction so you know he's pretty much going to cause as much as possible. He is a formidable foe and he'll likely injure your character quite severely if given the chance.

On the last day Apep is going to be sealed by Harry, Saori, and possibly Molly. So the timeline if anyone is curious is basically this:

1) Apep gets woken up. Either by Katie or a mallynap.
2) Apep takes over Helios and breaks Helios' silence spell on his ring making a big area with no sound for a while. Taking advantage of this he'll attack people in the surrounding area, possibly brainwashing Sabriel in the process so she turns into one of his minions to help him cause all sorts of chaos! And then he'll continue to attack people Helios is close to.
3) Apep gets sealed up, again, after struggling against all three of those people. Helios returns back to normal and feels terribad about everything /shot

I'd rather not have anyone die either unless you really, really, want them to. Aside from that? If anyone wants to participate in this feel free to comment here and we can work something out~

/breaks hiatus for this

[lostinmyway]

Well, obviously Grune will be getting involved. :Db I'd like to avoid anything more than moderate injuries for her, although--how would Apep respond to her, anyway? I'm assuming he'll be able to sense her true nature, which ought to complicate matters a wee bit.

[childofthefullmoon]

Hm. Well I don't think I count for close CR.. but I know that Helios knew the past Estelle? If you'd like to have her there, I'm cool with it. If not, that's okay too. XD

Regardless, Estelle needs to talk to Helios at some point... when he's.. uh.. not getting possessed by things.

[thebellthatbinds]

For anybody who's familiar enough with Sabriel or who has a strong magical sense, they'd probably feel the corruption coming off of her from the brainwashing. In other words, she's going full Necromancer/Free magic user but she'll be working subtly so long as it's needed of her.

ALSO! This means that for the finale when Apep gets bound and suppressed by the magical people, somebody...or a group of somebodies, will similarly need to bind Sabriel. Or otherwise force the evil influence out of her.

[cougarmom]

I... might involve myself? Might. Mostly I'd like to get Haruhi in deeper with Helios given she's still studying his world's material.

[no_compromise]

Am I gonna need to lay a smackdown again?

[thebellthatbinds]

You could try. Evil Sabriel would be very curious to see what she could do with Viral's blood...and his immortal body. >_>

[no_compromise]

...

Plum. I'm just vicious enough to play along.

[thebellthatbinds]

Only problem for her is she'd need someone's spirit to make the thing she wants...which would be an immortal beastman blood Mordicant.

So either someone would have to die or she'd have to be interrupted before she could get to that point.

[no_compromise]

Oh. Oh.

That...is WONDERFUL!

[echotaker]

Offering Michael. He's got a very good resistance to most mental-attacks due to his training, but I'm more than willing to have him get his ass handed to him or to use him as a shield for others who need saving.

[echotaker]

...that wasn't the icon i picked. michael. stop being so afraid. i just want to beat you up a bit.

[thebellthatbinds]

ISN'T IT JUST?


Ooooh so Viral could confront her to try and keep his promise and she just...wipes the floor with him. And then get her curious little idea~

[no_compromise]

He's all ready wounded right now anyway--and he loses so often in canon...

Pardon me, I'm squeeing.

[thebellthatbinds]

Then it's barely going to be a challenge for her. What a pity.

...you know what. Viral's hut is close to the western lake...there's bound to be bog clay in the area.

HOW'D YOU LIKE THAT, BEASTMAN? TORMENTED IN YOUR OWN SAFE HOUSE!

[mikangirl]

I'm up for Katie being both the catalyst and involved some other way! I'd be tempted to sign her up for being injured, honestly-- especially if she's responsible for Apep being awakened and thus she's kind of at ground zero at the time? 8|a I don't know if that would work/how that would work, so.

[no_compromise]

WELP.

He'd probably live in the mountains for a while--or, if any magical inflicted injuries are too hard to heal quickly, be stuck in house 44.

Since his safe house is compromised.

...THAT'S VICIOUS AND I LIKE IT.

[thebellthatbinds]

MUAHAHA!

So yeah, she'd bleed him, gather the clay and attempt to sever his wings to use his spirit to fuel the Mordicant.

...yeah, someone will definitely need to stop her before she got to that. <_<

[relictusdeus]

When you say 'force the evil influence out of her', I wonder if Isaac could draw it or some of it from her ala Hector gathering the dark energies of the curse after Drac's death and dispelling it. There's also the issue of WHY he'd even feckin' bother, but... I don't know. There's a small chance Julia could somehow rope him into it. More so if she were somehow affected. :C

[thebellthatbinds]

That's a possibility...but isn't Isaac susceptible to mind control stuff? Because she'd totally try and mind control him.

[no_compromise]

Yea, let's get...

I dunno. Most of the people he knows are involved. Except Billy, but Billy doesn't deserve this kind of angst.

[relictusdeus]

Oops. :Ic Sure, we don't exactly know if he gave into the curse willingly to any degree (embraced it, even!) or just fell prey to it unwittingly, but it just makes things fairer in the end to say he's susceptible to the assault of any sort of MIND TAKER. Why not? 'sides, Luke tinkered with him way back. X3

[thebellthatbinds]

Yeah, Viral's going to have enough angsty people around him by the time this is done.

Aside from someone attacking her during the preparation, she could be distracted by another strong source of magic.

[no_compromise]

Hmm...

Should we get Rei and/or Usagi involved?

[thebellthatbinds]

Way to help, Isaac. XP At this point though, Sabriel will need somebody to stand up to her and stop her from murdering Viral.

If Isaac and Julia worked together though, would that make any difference?

[thebellthatbinds]

That would probably be a good idea...although Mon might be able to toss Isaac in but I need to be sure he wouldn't just get mind controlled by her in the attempt since he's bad with mental attacks.
