Just your friendly neighborhood Lich King

Its that time of year, Exsilium.

ITS THE FEAST WINTER VEIL

Which is really just Christmas in Warcraft shh.

It also means its PLOT TIME YAY.


So here's the scoop, ladies and gents. On Tuesday, December 11th, an inconspicuous pen will appear in the center of initiate hold, housing all types of adorable little woodland critters (rabbits, squirrels, sparrows, etc) with a sign posted that they are to be adopted and cared for by transports. They're all motherfucking adorable and disturbingly well behaved -- obviously used to awkward interactions. They don't even shy away from you undead types.

Sadly, its not meant to be. On the eve of December 13th, each critter will simultaneously begin to succumb to a strange disease. It will start with lethargy in the early afternoon, passing onward to refusing food and irritation (will will result in biting this is important for the next part) and finally will end in death.

What a nice Winter Veil gift. 3 days just long enough for people to get attached to them.

Within 5 minutes of dying, each creature will resurrect into a flesh-hungry undead creature. They will flee from all hostile movement and will attract hordes of undead that Arthas has been raising and stockpiling since his arrival. Good on you, Exsilium, for dragging the Lord of the Undead on top of a battlefield full of bodies, eh?

That log will go up Friday, December 14th.

Now, if you opt to be bitten by your furry little friend, CONGRATULATIONS. You have now contracted the plague of undeath and will succumb to the same fate as your companion if you are not cured by some form of holy magic within 24 hours time. Undeath takes different forms for every species, so have fun with that if that's something you want to do. If you would like general guidelines, please note that your character will be shifting into a form of lesser undead.

What that means for you is that your character will:

- Lose most/all sense of self
- Gain an insatiable hunger for flesh and blood
- Be compelled to obey Arthas' commands
- Probably be very ugly for the duration of their unlife


Your character will remain this way until killed by another, at which point they will go through the normal resurrection process outlined by the game rules.

There will also be a minor hostage situation as Arthas will be locking down Jaina Proudmoore to prevent her from spilling the beans early.

I will put a general mingle log up on tuesday for people to use to pick up the animals and another on friday for when they all turn and start attacking people.

QUESTIONS? Ask below. B) Feel free to plot fight groups and such amongst yourselves in the comments below as well. I'm not going to organize a formal march on Arthas as he won't be present for most of the attack inside of Initiate Hold, but if someone else wants to head that, I will happily oblige.

Saber loves cute animals. Unfortunately, she also has Avalon which like REGENERATES HER BODY LIKE WHOA. If Shirou gets hurt himself, she's definitely going to force him to keep Avalon on his person. Somehow. I guess shoving it back in him is always an option...

Maiev is a grouchy night elf and will just go around killing the undead and looting them for cloth I GUESS

Buffy believes herself incapable of caring for small critters (seriously one time in canon she actually says 'I KILLED MY GOLDFISH 8(' ) so she'll be unaffected by the undeadness. However, she'll probably try to rally the troops for fighting and killing of zombies!!! SO UH. ANYBODY.. wanna... be in her troupe of killing undead folks?

Woooould you prefer if I place Thrall primarily if I need him for anything or would you rather I seek out alternatives? I don't mind either way (knowing how busy you are), but we can handwave something if you want Thrall to be all up in Jaina's business.

Once Jaina's business is known, that is :D

Loki sometimes uses his scrying to watch the Hold like it's a reality TV show, does he have your permission to realize Arthas is involved?

Also, if he is feeling generous, he might come down from his lair and try to help cure the plague. IDK if his magic is "holy" in the "connected to the Light" sense but it is godly in origin. Not sure how that would go over with WoW-style Scourge, honestly. It's like druid healing vs priest healing. If the druid is a deity.

Just be aware that if he tries to heal your character he might poke around in their soul a bit. He's a sketchy bastard.

How do people feel about this? I am completely okay with not doing any of these things.

Glen will adopt a bird or something because that's what she thinks a decent, normal person would do, but she's going to hate the thing after spending three days with it chirping and whatever. When it turns it'll be a huge surprise but c'mon that thing ain't right...

I might have her get nicked by its beak before she ends up killing it herself. Likely she'll suspect what's going on, that all the animals from the pen might be infected with this weirdness, and warn everyone using the network...

Happy first post! Here's a dead bird? Hmm.

SHE TOTALLY WANTS A CUTE CRITTER AND WILL TOTALLY BE REALLY UPSET WHEN IT GETS SICK AND DIES. :C

She'll be around to fend off the undead even if it means acting as bait for people to get away. So come at me bros. Come at me with your plots. Claire is a gore queen. Let her smash your heads in.

I'm doubtful Eiki would pick up a critter (and she's not alive to die in the first place), but she might try and help in some way. Maybe curing people, though no fighting.

The most likely action she would take is investigating the source, she has a very accurate method of discovering answers. However she would never bring any sort of group with her or go for a smack down since she is very adamant about keeping her neutrality.

Anyway, he can PROBABLY be convinced to help either as a healer or a fighter, both of which he'd probably pretty helpful since holy/light magic yay.
