LUNAR FESTIVAL | DAY FIVE | ELDERS & OMEN

[paradisamods]

[It's the final day of the festival. Now is definitely the time to stock up on any fireworks or exotic gifts found in the market. It seems the vendors are practically giving them away, as will all last minute sales.

By now, residents have received five red envelopes containing gifts. Perhaps they now have a considerable amount of caisos to spend in town? Children might have a nice pile of candy. Or maybe residents received an Elune Stone to use for the future?

The final two elders have appeared in the courtyard, waiting patiently for any who would approach them and pay respect.

Out by the duck pond, however, a sense of unease has settled. The waters have been stirring all day, and the wolf spirits from the day prior are gathering by the waters, waiting expectantly.

It isn't long before something begins to emerge from the water. Something very large, and very hostile in appearance.



What will you do?]

ELDER | GIL-GALAD

[paradisamods]

[An elven man stands dressed in fine armor of blue and decorative gold. Long hair hangs past his shoulders, and he wears a stern, determined expression. In one hand he holds a spear, the other a shield. From appearance one can gather he is a warrior, and perhaps a noble one at that.]

[inafadingcrown]

[Galadriel has paid attention to all the shades that have visited the castle these past few days, but this one strikes much closer to home.

She approaches the figure and gives a small bow.]

Le suilannon, Gil-Galad.

[She knows by now that he will not speak, of course, but it seems proper. Formalities done, she will just linger near the figure, more than willing to explain to any who may ask of him.]

[kamenriderdecade]

[The lunar festival was a fantastic chance to take some photos and he's hardly going to miss the opportunity, so he may have just snapped a photograph of you two without warning. Same world figures tend to have really good synchronization together, he'd noticed.]

Sindarin, right? It's a nice language.

[He'll take a few steps forward, stopping beside Galadriel and bowing a little to Gil-galad.]

Ni veren...an...gi ngovaned. Did I say that right?

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine is going for an outdoors stroll when she notices this scene. It's not often you see Galadriel bow to anyone.

So Dairine walks over to stand next to Galadriel.]

A friend?

[lord_wizard]

[Felix approaches silently, gazing at the figure]

I take it you're acquainted.

[lordofrivendell]

[While Elrond has briefly come to see what has been going on throughout the days, this time he's stayed throughout the day.

So while he's learned he can't speak, it doesn't stop him from lingering about himself, looking a bit more thoughtful then normal but he is also willing to share what he knows, if prompted of course.]

[inafadingcrown]

[She approaches quietly and stands beside him, gently laying a hand on his arm.]

[heloise]

[ An exceedingly beautiful warrior. She approaches cautiously, glancing at the tall man with a small smile. Beautiful as well. ]

He is familiar to you?

Is this too late?

[wizard_redfive]

[There is a young wizard standing nearby, paying her respects to the apparition. Once she is done however, she notices Elrond. Dairine watches him curiously and rather openly.]

ELDER | YULIA JUE

[paradisamods]

[Beneath the other light stands a woman wearing simple yet elegant robes. Her delicate features allow for a soft smile on her face. Eyes hint that they know far more than others would, but she cannot share what she knows herself. Her knowledge now rests in the tales passed on to others.]

[melodist]

[There are few things of Yulia's that have survived the past two thousand years. In a way, she can hardly believe she's descended from such a renowned and well-known figure... but the hymns she passed down are the proof, and she has felt the love Yulia placed in those hymns.

There are a few statues of Yulia, of course, and the resemblance between Tear and her ancestor is somewhat obvious. It's enough to make her stop and stare. The other people appearing in the light the other days were silent, so she expects no miracles.

But still. It's...]

... Yulia.

[She's not sure what to feel. To be truthful, she only feels overwhelmed and anxious. Maybe this means very little, like the curious festival of lights; only a few people would have any idea of who she was. Still, Tear should pay some respect.

She bows her head, hands resting lightly on her collarbone. And then she begins to sing the Grand Fonic Hymn, the symbol of Yulia's love for the world, her pact with Lorelei, and her hope for a better future.]

Tue lei tze kuloa ryo tue tze...

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade ever had mixed feelings about Yulia Jue. The Score was always a benevolent, yet oddly twisted subject in the world until recently. Part of him wondered how she'd feel about their destroying it, or his part in throwing it off-track.

However, she was one who deserved respect, if only for her part in creating the world as it had been and wielding a power that had yet to be known or acknowled. The creation and splitting of the fonstones that bore the Score of Prosperity, the Key and Jewel of Lorelei, everything with Doctor Southern-Cross and her follower, Francis Daath's betrayal..

Maybe he was driven by remorse for what he'd done to Nebilim, or the creation of the replicas and what came of that, maybe it was just an apology. Whether or not he owed her anything personally, he was half responsible for what happened eventually, and for that and everything that came with it, he offered her a bow at the waist.]

OMEN

[paradisamods]

[The wolf spirits from the day prior now act as guards from the newly emerged Omen. The great beast stands at least three times taller than the average resident, easily towering above the other spirits with him. The beasts now seem more corporeal, tangible.

Unlike yesterday, they seem far more hostile, and now react to those that dare approach.

Those that can sense spirits may be able to find that Omen is tormented and in a constant state of unrest and madness. His spirit begs for a peace he has yet to find on his own.

What can be done?]

OMEN

[teds_out]

[w o w what happened while he was asleep? he is just going to be.... way...... over here.... and edge back toward the castle now.]

[paradisamods]

[One of Omen's minions senses Ted's fear and slowly approaches him, eyes narrowed and growling low.]

[kamenriderdecade]

[Catching sight of the scene, a wild Tsukasa appears.

He falls beneath the category of spirit-sensing, so stares in the general direction of the great beast in silence, arms folded loosely.

He's looking pretty much fearless, too. What now wolfbro.]

[paradisamods]

[A curious minion slowly approaches, but makes no hostile movement toward him. It will circle slowly, as if sizing him up somehow.]

[cantacquityou]

[Once again, Edgeworth was out, escorting a certain friend who still happened to be in recovery, along with his 'pet' of questionable species. Leaving the other man to his own devices by the vendors, Edgeworth walked alongside his 'dog' to curiously inspect the Elders. At a safe distance, of course, as, he put nothing past the castle's temperamental nature.

For some reason, his 'dog' had left his side, running towards the Wolf Spirits, yapping frantically at them. She, however, kept a good distance, somehow having the feeling that, even by her powers, this was not a force to be reckoned with.

Edgeworth followed, calling after her, beseeching her to keep quiet and to come along. This was rather odd behavior for her, he thought. It was not long until he, himself, could feel something rather ominous about those...'statues'...or so he initially thought.]

[paradisamods]

[The minions don't seem to take well to the "pet's" display of disrespect. They move forward aggressively, snarling at the pet and paying no mind to the human approaching. Yet.]

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine is going for a walk when she sees some of those wolf spirits from yesterday. They seem a little... different. And not just physically.

She frowns a little but keeps going, walking forward in a confident manner.]

[paradisamods]

[Could this one sense their pain? A few minions turn their heads to watch as she passes by.]

OMEN

[ex_augmentation792]

[Adam has been here almost a full day and has yet to sleep, he's still at the try-not-to-panic stage of arriving here and everything he sees he assumes is another part of this elaborate hallucination, or dream. He has yet to talk to anyone except himself in an attempt to contact someone real from home through his Infolink. None of this or any of the strange people here can be real, it's just too much and too far out of the scope of anything he knows.

Right now his best guess is someone has hacked into his cranial augments, maybe through the Infolink, and is causing him to view an alternate reality. The ghosts in the kitchens, weird looking people, the castle itself, now these spirit ghosts and now this.

When Adam sees the largest yet of the incorporeal animals he has to stop and stare at the size of it.]

No way this is happening.

[He had to hand it to the hacker responsible for all this, he or she had a very active imagination.]

[paradisamods]

[Oh it's happening alright. And he now has the attention of a rather large beast just staring in his direction. Two sets of eyes appear to size him up.]

[cricketycricket]

[Five will just come out to see what today's offerings are ... and see this ... and look up ... and up ... and UP ...]

Oh, dear.

[he can pick up vaguely on that unrest, being a psychic Time Lord and all, and he tilts his head, curiously] ... What brought you here?

Jumping in with permission! YAY BAT AND DOCTOR TEAM UP

[detectivegenius]

[Tim's also curious what's going on today and his reaction to what he finds outside is mostly the same. He's pretty close to the other man so he calls out to him cautiously.] Maybe... it's best if we move away, sir...? [That thing is really big, after all.]
