[purifier]

Who: Zahliya, Luca, Joshua, Wolfwood, Dipper, Mamika, Siffrin, Loop, & Kiera
What: A gargoyle needs task-doers for character development
When: Mid-August, yes during the rainstorms, good luck
Where: ??? :)
Warnings: Typical Sticks trigger warnings apply, suicide, time loops resulting in multiple character deaths, Wolfwood just shot someone executioner style, more to be added


OOC notes, here is a rehash of your rules:

• Mod tags will come either a) after everyone involved has tagged in or b) after 24 hours have passed since the last mod tag. This means if you are absent for any reason, the thread WILL move on without you.
• Interaction in this log will be redeemable for MAIN AC, not just Bonus AC like most of our NPC threads.
• This questline will shape Zahliya's outcome for the rest of the game, and may or may not result in an almost-full Corruption cure and therefore gamewide impact. I will let people know midway through the quest if he's currently aimed at aggression/confidence/staying in the Grove, or if he's on passive/indecisive/leaving the Grove.
• The old OOC plotting post for this is here!

I'd prefer not to refer to it as a God, since that'll give that— what's the human word, fuckass? That fuckass more power. [We are teaching the Guardians bad words.] "Fallen Sun" or "the Creature" or something derogatory works just fine. But yes, as far as I know, you're kept here due to that thing.

It's the thing that also took you all and stuffed you into the ocean last month. If that helps.

[ please, "fuck" isn't a swear word where he comes from, he has no idea what that even means...

The aloof, almost dissociative look on Siffrin's face finally sharpens a bit at that, focusing in.]

And how likely are we to run into it?

[Please say "very".]

[Hearing this, Wolfwood sees that look and huffs a little under his breath.]

Careful what you wish for.

[Then he taps the metallic ankle of his prosthetic against the bottom edge of his gun.]

For your sakes, I would hope "not at all". [Echoing Wolfwood's thoughts.] Don't take this the wrong way, but you're all mortals, and I still can't fix most of the Corruption.

Wolfwood lost his leg due to the bastard taking over another Corrupted person's body some time ago. We need a failsafe against that first and foremost before we start making battle plans.

[Just kind of. Shrinking back a little bit as these two are talking about this. Guess who still blames himself? Yippee!!!]
