NOVEMBER PLOTTING MEME
EVENT WORKSHOP & PLOTTING MEME
In this brave new world there are a great number of changes for the Starfallen to explore and embrace. While some are hard to miss - the Meta population has exploded in both size and strength - others are more… subtle. The growth of the Dreamers of the Willow Maiden is hard to notice, as most of the Dreamers are quiet, unassuming sorts who merely wish you sweet dreams.
The only time they come out of the proverbial woodwork is for the Willow Bough Harvest Festival in Sunset Falls. There are a great number of regular humans in attendance as well, but to them this is more a fun celebration. For metahumans, it seems to be something… more. Deeper. Strengthening their connection with each other, with the world, and the Goddess who grants them all strength.
While one might think that a celebration of a sleeping Goddess would involve the sharing of dreams, this harvest is one meant to prepare yourselves for the winter. It’s meant to share the richness of all you experienced throughout the fall, spring, and summer and like the Magna Cucurbita it’s meant to strengthen the honesty and connection metahumans share with one another.
➢ Welcome to the fall event!
This might be the only festival in Sunset Falls that isn’t vaguely associated with ancient murders. In fact, it’s guaranteed you won’t be killed here. Today, Sunset Falls is under the protection of the Willow Maiden. And just this once, for this one week of the year in the town of Sunset Falls - everybody lives.
This is the only time any travelling carnival feels safe setting up in the most cursed city in all the country. The carnival is filled to the brim with things to do. Festival booths sell sugary sweets, savory goods, and some locals are selling something they call ethically sourced zombie fingers... it's not recommended to eat those. There are sneakily rigged carnival games as far as the eye can see, and tricky metas are rewarded for their cleverness in discovering the games.
There are also rides, rides, and more rides! Ferris Wheels, Gravitons, fun houses, impossible roller coasters that run the length of the whole town - if you can think of it, it’s here. Including a small inflatable pool filled with balls. The rides are magically imbued and the carnies can be convinced into creating new ones to match whatever you may need, though they're taking some... interesting short cuts. A Tunnel of Love can go through a sewer, right?
These rides are perfectly safe. Seriously. Thoroughly magicked against destruction and tampering for as long as the festival is active... you might want to get off of them as things come to a close, though. Things will start to fall apart as the Willow Maiden drifts into a deep slumber.
The festival offers a whole host of other attractions for metas and humans alike, however the Starfallen are treated to some.. extras in these festivities.
Attempting to speak with the Willow Maiden will be met with silence. Her Dream Guard will tell any Starfallen who ask that she expended a great amount of power recently to aid them. She will wake in the New Year and will be ready to guide them on what comes next then.
There are three mod comments on this entry:
One for player questions and requests for assistance in generating ideas for this event.
One to request random partners for the Willow Maiden's Vine prompt.
And a final one for suggestions for upcoming events and/or pitches for your own player run event. On our non-mod plot months, we would like to open things up for players to run their own impactful plots that can help shape the world. If you have an idea of an event you would like to run this would be the space to share it.
We can work with you to make it something viable and/or provide consequences if you just want to poke things and see what happens.
Things are going to be nice and relaxed through the holiday season, and the new arc of the game will begin in the new year. Keep your eyes on the stars, Heroes!

➢ EMPATHY LINKSEvery attendee is given a small stone pendant called the Willow Seed. These pendants prevent any attendee from using their abilities to cause harm to any other wearing a pendant, a holdover from the days where metahuman conflict ran rampant. These are magical items meant to help you commune with the Willow Maiden. Wearing it will make you feel stronger than you ever had - both literally and figuratively - and ready to face anything. You will also feel your connection to the Willow Maiden, her deep and genuine love for you and all you are, all you aren't, and all you could be. It will also connect you to your fellow Starfallen. While metahumans native to this world are unaffected, the Starfallen will find themselves suddenly feeling each other’s, well, feelings. ➢ MEMORY SHAREAlong with emotions, you may be able to send memories through the link as well. Given the positive energy, positive memories are easier to call forth than negative ones. ➢ THE WILLOW VINES
As this festival is all about connection, the chaotic energies of Sunset Falls try to get involved in the form of trying to force people to form new connections.. in the form of vines snapping two people together by the wrist as they walk by. If you co-operate and get to know this new person the vines will let go on their own after about thirty minutes.Attempting to resist the connection will make them last longer... much.. much longer. These will not let go until you connect with this other person - but luckily for you, you recluse, it doesn't require the connection to be positive. A fight - physical or verbal - is as much a connection as a candid conversation. All the vines ask for is some emotional honesty. The easiest way to get free is to make a new friend... or enemy. Connections don't have to be positive.
Attempting to speak with the Willow Maiden will be met with silence. Her Dream Guard will tell any Starfallen who ask that she expended a great amount of power recently to aid them. She will wake in the New Year and will be ready to guide them on what comes next then.
