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.

Wade is not big into cute animals

He is however really big into shooting zombies, so this event is going to make his Christmas special

Swann cannot resist cute fuzzy animals.
Swann lives part-time in the 8th doctor's TARDIS.
NOTHING can go wrong with this at all, aye?

You know, Blaine's going to ask Gordon if he knows how to skin an animal. Because the deer look pretty tasty.

we're gonna have to make a friendship pact in this game too!!!

and sure, she can do that! i think sophie will be reluctant, but if they're attacking kougyoku, she'll also try to save her right back. sophie's gotta protect all the things.

Whelp. Small cute animals that die in three days and turn into monsters. Sonic might have a slight bit of trouble dealing with this. Even Eggman's robotization way back when wasn't endemic to this magnitude.

I'm considering zombifying him, since he'd certainly be dumb caring enough to keep trying to help the little guys even after people tell him to stop.

Funny, as Johnny was just talking about how he really wanted some zombies to fight. Thank you, Santa Arthas!

This is where I hop in to say that some of the fuzzy woodland creatures happen to be hedgehogs.

[personal profile] keep_smiling 2012-12-10 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh and as far as this guy, he's immortal so zombification won't work on him. So he'll probably spend this time getting the hell out of the way.

Bring them over here! And then turn away when the really horrifying beatdown happens.

Haha. She'll get to see Priad use his actual specialty weapon, which is his lightning claw, which makes him into a close combat nightmare.

Heh even better, getting sideways looks and asked if he's afraid of cooties or something. "It's not communicable, I promise." She's much more accommodating for people's comfort levels, however. Sucks to be made uncomfortable for no good reason!

yes goo GONNA WIPE 'EM ALL OUT!

[personal profile] chargethesebatteries 2012-12-10 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
LMAO oh god yes can this please happen? someone needs to give Axel as much sass as he doles out and i think Sakura is an excellent candidate. and he gets over his girlphobia fairly quickly once Xion enters the picture, it's just that up to this point in canon Larxene was about the only girl he had any constant exposure to, and that'd be enough to make anybody scared of girls. XD

speaking of girls, if you wanna catch me on AIM or Plurk to discuss these two being badass together that would be keen. i'm kawreee with three e's on AIM or [plurk.com profile] kawree on Plurk.

Does it have to be magic? If the Doctor's not too busy being Zagreus, he's going to bust his Time Lord ass to beat this thing with science.

...Well, he's tracked something down ONCE. And while Nihilanth would have been impressive stuffed and mounted, that was sort of the LAST thing on his mind at that point.
