EVENT 003: INAUSPICIOUS TIDES

I. Swap til you drop With the abundance brought forth by the influx of Eros energy in the world, the Augur has blessed the world's new organic inhabitants - past and recent arrivals both - with personalized welcome packages. Overnight, these goody bags have been quietly delivered to the doorsteps (or dirty hovel floors, Gundams, tree branches, etc.) of each Island resident. Open them up to find a supply of basic hygiene necessities perfectly suited to your tastes, as well as a small selection of fun extras: good quality clothing, beachwear, fancy soaps, "necessities" to complete an Auspicious Act, and maybe even a surprise from home. Unfortunately, not every item is yours. In their haste to please their guests, the robots might have mixed a few items up, switching up favorite colors, smells, lingerie sizes, and preferred condom flavors - among other things - for someone else's. What’s more, a tiny glitch in the Augur has also beamed some inventory items directly from their owners' homes and placed them right in a stranger's welcome bag! The robots catch on quickly to the problem. By afternoon, they have hastily set up a swap meet on the beach for residents to trade, sell, or barter their unwanted items. "̷T̶r̷a̷d̴e̵ ̷a̴u̸s̷p̸i̶c̸e̴s̶ ̵a̴n̷d̴ ̶b̵e̶ ̷t̶w̸i̴c̵e̴-̴b̸l̷e̸s̷s̸e̸d̵!̴"̶ As a special event, the robots on site are also facilitating square swaps for consenting parties, and will upload the appropriate app to the devices of interested residents. Use your wrist device to project your A5 card for all to see and get swapping! Simply by tapping each other's card displays, you can easily switch squares between yourselves. The robots have authorized one square swap per person. II. Treasure Island i̶n̴o̶r̷g̷a̷n̷i̵c̷ ̸m̷a̶t̵t̴e̶r̴ ̶d̵e̵t̵e̶c̷t̵e̶d̶.̶.̷.̴ All of the activity on the beach has kicked up something beneath the sands, and as you make your wait through the festivities you may notice something glittering and gold on the sands. Mysterious treasure has begun to wash up from the seas - from large chests (ahem) to small statues, from ornate jewelry to faceless coins of indeterminate origin. You may not be the materialistic sort, but the treasure almost compels you to pick it up. Once you find something, you'll be hungry to unearth more. When questioned about the treasure's source, the robots appear stumped. Jewels and gold have no worth to them, they explain. h̶o̸l̷d̶ ̴o̵n̵ ̷t̶o̶ ̴w̶h̶a̶t̸'̸s̷ ̵p̸r̶e̶c̸i̶o̶u̴s̶.̴.̶.̴ Time will reveal that this is cursed treasure. The treasures on the beach inspire feelings of not only jealousy, but also the desire to flaunt what you do have. You find yourself craving what belongs to others - be it food, items... or even lovers. Those under the treasure’s spell are attracted to even more treasure; a flash of shiny new gemstones may be all it takes to entice even the most loyal to your side. Anyone who can sense magic will notice a faint green aura around a cursed item, but little else can be determined. Incorporating an item into your Auspicious Acts - be it coin to trade for the pleasure of their company, or if you'd prefer to be taken wearing nothing but decadent pearls - seems to lift the aura and alleviate those strange feelings of envy and vanity. Inauspicious Tides The lucky few who discover how to cleanse the treasure of its aura are not enough to stop the rightful owners from coming to claim what’s theirs. From the deep, they rise. A flash of lightning illuminates the dark sea. A horde of bodies begin to walk out from beneath the waves. They range from monstrous to humanoid, but a commonality they all have is decay. "Our treasure..." Some are completely inhuman, covered in bone and debris, flailing slimy limbs or tentacles at anything that moves. Others seem half-person, half-shipwreck, with bodies mutating around pieces of driftwood. While the largest of them threaten to wreak havoc on the beaches from the shallows, their long tentacles reaching for any buildings within their grasp with destructive intent, the smaller and more human-looking of the invaders march in droves towards land. The robots rally to defend the Island, but it soon becomes apparent that they are no match for this threat. "Give it back..." When the horde makes it ashore, they may attempt to fight the residents of the Island - but they seem far more agitated by the appearance of any native 'bots, attacking them maliciously. They are impervious to gunfire, they feel no pain, and their waterlogged bodies make them resistant to flame. They spill over all corners of the city as they make their way to the hospital. Should any of these creatures make it inside, they will head for the Augur first and foremost. And though the sun's rays will peek through the windows and turn them to ash come daybreak, their damage is done. The Augur will go offline for repairs; the robots will dedicate themselves to tending to it for the next month. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● N A V I G A T I O N

Kol Mikaelson | The Vampire Diaries

[gradual]

SWAP TIL YOU DROP

open to kol having random things belonging to others in his goody bag. totally up for ridiculousness! as for his own stuff, there's nothing specific except blood bags are going to end up in some welcome packages. kol's not going to be able to claim those since he's keeping the fact he's a vampire a secret, but! — if anyone wants their character to be fed on, let me know. it will have to involve memory wipe/compulsion so they won’t actually remember being bit, but we can find ways to make it interesting!

as for his card, he won't mind swapping out any of the following:

humiliation, degradation // coercion, blackmail // gags, silence

INAUSPICIOUS TIDES

kol’s not going to hide the fact he has speed and strengh on the island so 100% up for fighting monsters and rescuing anyone if needed!

BINGO THINGIES

his squares are available for clearing! permissions post and the link to his A5 card is here.

feel free to leave a comment or pm me if you want to plot stuff out. ♥

[tombom]

I have no idea if these two will get along or not but they absolutely need to meet each other at some point. he's heard davina briefly talk about kol (without using his name). I would love him to be a bad influence on bellamy!

[gradual]

i want this cr! he can be a total bad influence on him. get bellamy to trade his squares for ridiculous selfish requests. no need to upgrade the island with useful things. how about a nightclub instead?

[tombom]

yes, be the devil on bellamy's shoulder so he can go back to his chaotic ways.

[gradual]

time to be self-indulgent. they can have all the fun and games.

[earps]

I would love to toss Wynonna at Kol for something!

mmmaybe the two of them eventually crossing off a mutual square (she has bloodplay on hers and I'd be open for a potential feeding/mind-wipe if we want to work up to that, maybe after she gets injured fighting some monsters)?

[gradual]

wynonna! she’s <3. bloodplay would work for them! if she’s injured, he can heal her with his blood… feed on her… heal her again. rinse, recycle, repeat. they can get up to no good. :3 he’ll just have to make her forget the feeding after. totally up for this if you are!

[earps]

granted, she doesn't have the BEST opinion of vampires but if he heals her, feeds on her and compels her to forget it all then she'll never know the difference! what could go wrong! ;)

[gradual]

i am so looking forward to seeing where this cr goes. locking bloodplay on kol's card for wynonna. win! if you're planning to do a tl for the event post later, i'll be sure to tag it!

[earps]

if I can't come up with something open I'll definitely at least write a closed starter for us!

[aeroll]

i'd love for kol and reno to meet! but also he can always feed from this redhead if he wants nbd

also i'm trying to get rid of an orgy card for vincent (lapses), so he can take gags, silence off of his hands if he's interested

[gradual]

reno! yes. let him feed and play with reno, pls. if you want to kol to eventually clear a square with him, lemme know. :3

and a-okay to this swap! kol will happily take that orgy card and help poor vincent out. tsk, tsk.

[aeroll]

reno would love it if kol can help him out with his squares
he has a fam to feed, so he is just gunning for it
pls feel free to feed on him while you fuck him
he's like more than down for that

also you are the hero that vincent needs, kol
ty for helping this old man out

[gradual]

wow, reno. what a hero to his fam. i was thinking i could clear out rough sex for kol if you're okay with that? maybe hair pulling or hands, fingers for reno? or if you have something else in mind, feel free to suggest!

old... pls. he's still a baby compared to kol.

[aeroll]

we can definitely knock out rough sex for kol. let's do hands, fingers for reno, but i don't mind playing around with more than one option.
feel free to yank away at that long ass rat tail of his.

look,
vincent might actually appreciate knowing more people who're immortal and older than him negl

[vampirella]

i would love carmilla to know there's another vampire kicking around, i feel like they'd be catty besties immediately

also, Peter needs to meet Kol, maaaaaaybe he can find something of his? he's a good boy and would return it for sure!

[gradual]

fellow vampires unite! aw, kol having a bff for the first time ever...! it's gonna be magical.

hm. maybe peter can get the white oak ash dagger (bottle of ash included). kol wouldn't want that in anyone else's possession. it's the one thing that can neutralize him! the package will likely have kol's full name on it so... peter. be a good boy, mate. and who knows? it might just help him to keep his head on in the event kol gets canon updated in the future. 😘

[vampirella]

As long as she's not expected to be a good influence this should go swimmingly. She's never been a good influence to anybody a day in her life.

that sounds very ic for peter to inadvertently hand something super powerful to someone without knowing what it is. and this time kol probably won't even use it to turn Manhattan into lizards so that's cool too. He'd be like this is weird and scary but maybe it's some hobby I don't know about? Here you go dude

[gradual]

nope! he wouldn't be looking for that at all. they can be the worst together.

look, peter. it's just a fancy letter opener. no biggie.

[vampirella]

Delightful!! they can have snack parties with an unsuspecting .... friend 😄

Oh well that seems reasonable! He must get a lot of letters!!!!

[steadfasters]

would be glad to continue cr building/kol trying and failing to take leslie under his suspiciously bat-like wing and make him more adventurous. a blood bag could easily be discreetly claimed as leslie looks for someone with a fridge to keep it in so it doesn't go bad (while, uh, also discreetly wondering who needed blood bags and whether they're okay because vampires are not a thing that would occur to him before a medical condition--okay, so technically being dead is a medical condition but you know what i mean).

probably not up for feeding at this time, although that's a door i'm willing to leave open for the future! and tbh even though you're offering it for trade, leslie would probably be a good match for a coercion stamp considering their initial conversation. as long as he got to stamp one of his own as well.

[gradual]

i'm loving their cr already. leslie needs to crawl out of his man cave and go on an adventure with kol someday. it'll probably end in a disaster, but YOLO! and good! find those blood bags. what a waste. :( silly bots and their inability to deliver things to the right person! how tough is their job. c'mon!

totally up for having that coercion stamp cleared with leslie! they can discuss their a5 cards all businesslike which would be hilarious.

[steadfasters]

leslie needs a good friendly bully in his life. he likes fun, honestly, he's just got a lot he's processing. their burgeoning trainwreck friendship may or may not help with processing but it'll definitely distract him with said disasters! sorry about all the blood bags though, kol. hopefully he finds a few more people to feed on. leslie knew he couldn't trust those bots, man.

honestly leslie is all business about his a5 so far, so this absolutely works. they can just have a sit in the shade and negotiate.

[gradual]

poor leslie. so young and so troubled. kol's 1000+ but he's still mostly all about the fun and games for now. if/when he gets canon updated post his first death later on though... dude's gonna be :|

well, these two discussing their cards is going to be fun to thread out. can't wait!

[steadfasters]

in his defense, i think we'd all be a little :| after our first death.

i'll be putting up a catch-all/top-level for leslie once the event goes live so they can dive right into things soon~ it's definitely going to be fun!
