#;;plot: eclipsed

[nerditudes]

If you'd like to join in the ECLIPSED plot you are MORE than welcome! This plot will not impact any current threads unless otherwise requested-- and is just here to be a fun thing to flesh out my oft-sidelined OC, Darkside, a bit more.

Interest can be expressed by hitting the LIKE button-- at which point I'll prod you in DMs/IMs about how you'd like to participate! All my ROTG/GOC muses [save Katherine] will be involved in this, but doubles are more than welcome. It's a big multiverse out there.

All I ask is that we be mutuals if you wish to be directly involved. Any characters are more than welcome to commentate and even try to handle the outcome in their own way, but the only characters that will impact the story will be those who plot with me and share that mutual status.

Any ROTG/Epic/GoC adjacent muses are welcome to participate!

Not good. Bunnymund would be cranky about this one, especially so close to Easter. But this had to be the work of the Boogeyman. Instinct would spur him to action. The leaver pulled, the Northern Lights released-- their message rang out to those who could hear.

CALLING ALL GUARDIANS.

They'd know where to go-- the North Pole. His workshop-- where the globe began to flicker as it had over a decade prior.

Oh boy does he have plans tonight. He's been working on this little plot of his for months now-- and soon, they'd come to fruition.

Nini sent me this. It's been so long since I saw this reaction image.

"...on a scale of one to 'every single light almost goes out again', how bad do you think this is gonna be, Koz?"

The bloody sphere sitting in the sky above paints the joyous trickster and the faithful soldier in its ugly glow.

"....Jack, the man has my tenacity, my methodical and logistical approach, and, consciously, very little of my guilt. I'm....quite concerned."

The Boogeyman flicks a wrist and shadows draw Jack down to his eye level. He smirks.

"But don't get all nervous on me now, kiddo. You've gotta keep up the spirits of those weirdos."

"Three. Two. One."

The moon above was burnt orange-- a Lunar Eclipse. But totality seemed-- a fair bit longer than predicted. The eclipse remained, hanging in the air-- immobile.

"Between the tick and tock."

[nerditudes]

"Alright-- this thing's about to kick off. Lunar's nestled all snug in his bed, the ship's on standby mode-- we can totally get through this without incident."
