❛ Gather 'round for tidings! And good work, my Friends! ❜

❛  'Tis no small task we've undertaken this day! To pack and move as one gives us strength - solidarity! And 'tis but a bond that binds us, is it not? As is the norm we must take root, strengthen our hold on this dell 'til the next turn of the moon. There is work to be done yet.  ❜

❛  Our supplies wane -- HUNTERS, GATHERERS: we must procure new sustenance and supplies by any means. Kill, steal, earn -- 'tis no matter, should we feed our growing number. TO ANY WHO ARE WILLING, my honor'd counterpart may also require your attention for a short quest, of sorts. See her, take instruction from her and do swiftly as she asks. Remember that we must move as one - that we must come like the storm to the cliffs of the sea - suddenly, and all at once. Such is where our true power lies. ❜

WAYS TO COMPLETE:

DRABBLE - TAGGED CT!DRABBLE & CT!REBELQUEST. 1000+ WORDS. REWARD: 500 GIL.

THREAD - TAGGED CT!REBELQUEST. 10+ POSTS. REWARD: 1000 GIL.

REQUIREMENTS/GUIDELINES:

The HUNTER/GATHERER option may be either a thread or a drabble that consists of your rebel gathering food and/or supplies by whatever means suit them best. They may hunt in the wilds or enter the nearest town to steal or do odd jobs for cash. Remember that the goal is to try to feed as many people as possible, but also consider things like your character's carrying capacity, etc. BASICALLY THEY PROBABLY AINT GONNA BE ROLLING SIX BARRELS OF WINE BACK TO THE ENCAMPMENT ON THEIR OWN. You may plot threads with other rebels, or with members or quartiers of any town-- but keep in mind that they will not receive credit & gil for completing the quest if they are not of the rebel faction.

The DEMI QUEST option will be a randomly generated starter, most likely to be threaded with the rebel leader herself. Once the quest is given, should you choose you may contact dani with a request to drabble the mission instead of thread it-- it's all up to you! 

This quest may be performed by any REBEL. All Shards earned from this quest in the next plot activity check will be counted towards REBELS only. Please don’t forget to check in with Eris or Demi after completing your quest (drabble / thread) for your reward. You will be awarded Gil, and the Mods will keep track of for you! (Your character’s money will come in handy in the next big blog update we do, so stay tuned!)

                                                ... They would have none of this... this treachery!

               ❛ TO AAAAARMS ---!!                     ENEMIES be at our throats--                     Waste no time in mute surpise!                     Let not this villainy be the end of us, not this day!                     Friends, W e  c a n  b e  a s  S H E E P  no longer --                     TO ARMS; HANG the truce -  you must defend at any cost !  ❜

"I can handle the cold."

He approached anyway. “…What might we talk about?”

[moorokei]

         ❛ I believe you. Your heart, I think, can take the cold. Though your skin will blister and blacken, your muscles stiffen and freeze and rot; you, your consciousness, your sanity will persevere without the use of ANY of your extremities, for you are brave. As for me, I would rather keep my fingers and toes; I would rather the dexterity to hold my weapons, and I will gather gloves like the rest. Would you accompany me anyways?❜

         ❛ ... What we talk of is up to you. We may talk of you, or me, or us -- but I would like to know you better, friend, and for that we must talk. ❜

[moorokei]

                    There have been a good many people coming to us who have had some trouble understanding the 'questing' element of the plot. && I realize that we rebels ( who are a bit of a mixed-ideal faction with NO CLEAR, SET STEPS TO TAKE TOWARD OUR GOAL AT THE MOMENT ) might have a hard time finding direction. So here are a few nifty guidelines to help y'all along--

The quest objectives are listed at the bottom of the quest -- as long as you meet the objectives, you are free to complete the quest however you want. What does this mean? You can write a drabble, interact with an/other character/s, or even simply post a thread returning to the questgiver with the items desired/goal completed.

You are completely free to speculate on quests as long as your responses are reasonable ( I.G. for my 'speak to a Quartier' quest, the Quartier would not have commented on the Gods' uselessness, but there are some generic lines that you may have returned to Eris with ).

Even then, even had your character returned to Eris with unbelievable / out of character information from the Quartier, that's still a plot opportunity! THEY LIED! They didn't do what she asked, and they will be reprimanded. There are such things as lazy heroes. Or perhaps your character was under the weather or for some reason couldn't complete the quest in a reasonable amount of time / before the rebels were due to move camp. The possibilities are limitless, and all up to you. 

If your partner becomes busy or the thread grows stale / is dropped, you may discuss events OOC with them ( or with the questgiver ) and return to questgiver with this information. That said, quests are generally designed to promote character interaction and relationship building ( ESPECIALLY right now, with our plot && group so young and fresh ), so please don't opt to skip the thread altogether every time!

Remember that your character is free to decline the quest IN CHARACTER AND TO YOUR LEADER'S FACE!! Disagree with them! Challenge them! Disrespect them! Do the polar opposite of what they say! Eris and Demi are in positions of authority, but they are not omniscient; for someone to call either of them out on their flaws would be a SERIOUSLY FUN PLOT TBH LET'S DO IT.

Remember that REBELS MOVE. WE'RE ALL OVER THE DANG PLACE. As a rebel you can thread with any person in any city without worrying if it's 'true to plot': you see an open that looks fun -- GO FOR IT. DO IT. GET ALL UP IN THAT SUCKER AND BATHE IN PLOTTY GOODNESS.

Don't be afraid to plot and thread with multiple people! Multi-chara plots are the BEST THING ahkladg and some of the absolute best development comes out of them fo srs. Get together and message people about it -- get out of your comfort zone a little and play with some new people! We're all friendly here!

LASTLY, AND MAYBE MOST IMPORTANTLY: If you have questions -- if your character has questions -- ask them!! That's what we ( as mods ), and they ( as leaders ) are there for ! That's our collective job! You can ask IC or OOC!

[moorokei]

                    ❛ Ah -- strange it be that my heart is lightened so at the sight of an unfamiar face! Welcome! If you follow me, I would see you outfitted for the coming winter... And we may talk as well, ayy? ❜

                    Hey-o rebels! Illustrious leader #1/2 here! If any of you want a specific plotted thread, come and talk to me! Otherwise there's a basic rebel quest in the tag already (and one that lets you speak to a Quartier owoo!), AND there's a few-day-old non-quest open that I dun mind if people reply to.                     Keep in mind that as a group we travel, so it'd be cool for you to interact with literally anyone, no matter the faction. And the same goes for CT members who want to interact with rebels --AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH, AIN'T NO RIVER WIDE ENOUGH~!!

                    Also, I'll be using the tags ct!rebelquest and ct!rebelopen, which are totally optional to track but help with organization.

                    ❛ My friends! While I indeed be more than small elated to see you stand here at my side, I fear that your strong hearts (those same called by the wretched Godly crystal) may strong will make, and that you should align yourselves too quickly, too effortlessly: I wish that you may see the information raw, choose only then whether your heart's compass does yet point true North.                    Now, while we make rest near town --take this coin and buy there a map of the world, then speak fast there to the presiding Quartier. Hear what wisdom they possess, and return to me with this item, this knowledge, and this assurance of fealty. ❜

Goals: - Enter the nearest town (of your choice) - Speak (IC) to the Quartier there - Purchase a map of the wilds

Rewards: 250gil, a map, some IC familiarity with that town. Return to: Eris, rebel encampment.

power series — fire manipulation [fīr məˌnipyəˈlāSHən] 

the ability to generate, manipulate and/or absorb fire. the user’s capabilities are unlocked by training their mutation to grow more powerful; for example, they may develop their ability so as to be able to light their body on fire without being burned themselves, though this requires a high skill level and natural tolerance. those gifted with fire manipulation are naturally resistant to fire damage—however, should they push past their developed power limit, they may begin to suffer damage from their flames, risking serious injury and possible fatality.

A breath of fresh air. That was all she had really wanted in the end, and yet here she was, one of the leaders of the rebels, wandering around by herself near the edge of town. But honestly, she could care less. She really hadn’t wanted to be here in the first place, and when she had been pulled from her own home to come serve in some battle for these stupid crystals.

She had given it a month, but in the end, she had abandoned the cause, finding another who was of like mind. And now they have something to show for it, a group that was willing to follow them to change the way this world was run. No one needed the gods that presided over those stupid crystals.

"Alright, now that I’m here, what in the hell should I do? I could do recon on the heroes in the city, though that might take a while." She leaned up against a nearby tree, watching the small dots running around the town. She had heard the other approach, trained ears picking up the sound of their footsteps, along with the sound of their shifting equipment.

"Need something?"

[moorokei]

                    Blazing sapphires descend upon her dark-haired mirror from above, deft hands curled: one to encircle the crimson surface of a taut, ripe apple, one to grasp the branch of a shrunken, ashy birch. Perhaps her placement had taken her counterpart by surprise, but she would make no apologies - after such a time in the wilds she had grown wary enough of the hustle and bustle of an active town. Serenity amidst turmoil was difficult to achieve --a lesson she had quickly been reminded of.

                    ❛ Hmmm? I had only intended to inquire as to whether you'd like a fruit, though I as well am curious as to contemplate our next move. have we lately been too lax? We give the enemy much opportunity to take action while we idle in preparation. Perhaps a bit of reconnaissance would do some good, if only to assess the extent their successes in the meantime. ❜

                    She'll draw a knife from her pocket and cut a slice from the pregnant fruit, slip it 'twixt pale lips with a crunch that frankly would not satisfy her desire for definitive action. 'Knowing is half the battle', or so they said. But doing is the rest, and her all had never been her limit.

                    ❛ Although, given the time it takes it may well be beneficial to employ a cell in each town permanently, as to give continual intelligence? I'd have your thoughts. ❜
