Mission: So Familiar a Gleam Ongoing

[voidtreckermods]

The next part of the missions is here. Since characters are beginning to break out of their AUs and beginning to try and solve the problem they have found themselves in here is another plotting post! The other one was pretty crowded!

Please continue to ask any questions here and if there are any shenanigans you want to run past mods in terms of investigating let us know here

Happy plotting!

Details of the environment going forward:

For those who can read energy/see through illusions, they will find borders between the different sections of the city. They will be able to gauge it looks more like this.

They will see people 'trapped' in these border parts - specifically, those walking by foot to another section of the city, or those taking air taxis. They can be taken out, but would need to be done so by people who won't be pulled into the strength of the illusion/hypnotism.

While most areas are starting to fall apart, the political/educational sector (the centre of the city) is doing better. People may be taken around there in spare buildings.

Food: It will still be around, but some people will realise - who can see through illusions - that everything has a viscous quality. Shaped to be what it's mimicking, watery if it's a drink. This will become more obvious to everyone by Day 8. It's safe to consume.

Cue dramatic cliffhanger notes!

With Tidus facilitating the connection it'll be easy enough to get in contact with Elidi-Olivia. (Elidibus wouldn't go out of his way to point out that he is possessing a person but he also isn't hiding it either and it'll be easy to confirm, especially as Olivia doesn't match anyone on the train roster BUT does have an SCA. Also like, tons of people can say 'yup that's possession'.)

I'm sure there would be some basic exchange on how aether work in the FFXIV canon sense (if you need a basic rundown of this OOCly let me know) and would be pleased to exchange notes with someone who has some basic idea of how to sense/see/etc its equivalent in some interpretation.

The communication effort thread will be happening post Moonlight Cafe (Well Elidibus, Masumi, Roland visit anyway) but prior to Senku's effort to rouse an assault effort. The caveat here is that Elidibus will not be at all mentioning that this is an attempt to communicate with the entity. But looping Wei Wuxian in to a group 'investigation' team is still viable at this point. Just waiting to make sure the other two involved are kosher with the notion. But Wei's insight would certainly make him a good candidate.

Elidibus probably also remembers the man's efforts at organizing teachers who can cast illusions to help people train. He was busy with other stuff at the time and didn't comment but he did notice it! :D ...wait that was you wasn't it? I'm fairly sure it was the you-Wei Wuxian. Sorry, so many Wei!

You've got the right Wuxian, yes! Also thumbsing up here though we're chatting on discord now lmf, and yeah, Wei Wuxian has mixed feelings on possession but not to a point of doing anything here about it, the circumstances are beyond... the ones he's familiar with, and also. He's the guy who was accused of possessing someone else lkasjdf recently, and ouch? No bro he did not!

I could use a brush up on FFXIV aether because my FFXIV is not in depth (stares at my one lalafell and my crippling blah with dungeons) but that can certainly be at your leisure! He'd get it either way, his likewise explanation would be about energies that everything has (not strictly spirit, but... also spirit) and if you want me to do a rundown of how Untamed's cultivation seems to shake out, lmk!
