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.

see, this is why pets are never worth the trouble. who even trusts a suspicious pen of adorable woodland creatures?


oh who are we kidding nearly everyone does don't they 8|

Caesar won't want anything to do with them and will question the sanity of those who do.

Caesar of course everyone is suspicious of them



but totally how about hanging out with another person who can turn int a bunch of pets you don't have to care for and helping map out part of the coast
for reasons
involving the UE


...maybe

WELL so long as they don't need to be told to not be suspicious



wait how did this go from owing her lunch sometime to helping her map a coast? :|a But he's good with maps, so... he can probably be convinced.

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2012-12-10 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
she can so keep it natural is that what he's worried about goodness

.... also yes she's not touching courtyard zoos




I'm going with persistence and powers of persuasion achieved only through persistence
little did he know that owing her lunch would turn into some sort of picnic camping map-making expedition but think of all the knowledge gained!

it's also kind of hilariously sad to me she can offer to be their ride out, she's done this with mystique, it's totally in her capacity of manageable deals

so instead of turning into zombies they'll be out on a cold coastline. that's an awful picnic idea. are they even equipped for this.

how many horse jokes is he going to be putting up with here

does anyone know how to drive
whatsupcroc: (☇ ask: something you're thinking on?)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2012-12-10 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
hey she totally has equipment! the patched up sleeping bag... sing...ular............

okay so they can get ANOTHER bag but then she has a tent! that she can't put up. so hey, caesar... B) and she has a water container, and iodine, and a lighter. and lots of jerky and dried fruit.

............. so she may not have ever really gone camping before but caesar you're a guy clearly you know more about it???

there will probably be way too many jokes at the start
how they're hoofing it
she's taking him for a ride
she's a real stud isn't she
does he like being on top

no
commentboxtroll: (it is not an adventure)
