Nano Day 6

So I am not updating daily or even close. I’ll update when stuff happens or when I’m procrastinating on studying. Anyway. I cannot believe how much of this is just dialogue and characters being ridiculous. Action scenes should start tomorrow or so, hopefully.

Word count: 23,162/50,000 

Goals: Get to the action already holy shit (...soon...)

Snippet:

“Aza.” She gets up from the chair without even realizing she’s doing it, kneeling beside the bed and automatically taking Aza’s hands--cold, not just cool but cold--in hers. “What is it?” 

She’s pushed too hard, she thinks. She hasn’t even brought it up yet but somehow Aza must know, must be trying to figure out how to tell her no, she doesn’t want to do that, so sorry—

“They don’t believe me,” says Aza quietly. She’s staring at the bedspread now, eyes damp but mouth steady. “I told them what I saw, and because it isn’t what they want to hear they don’t believe me. They won’t listen. I have to--I have to contact the Visionaries myself, I have to reach out, because they won’t do anything and if they don’t do anything people will die—���

She cuts herself off and turns, those deep green eyes now focused on Ebony, and they are ancient and just a little feral. Terrifying. Beautiful. “You said you would help me leave.”

“I will,” Ebony promises, breathless and trying to find her balance. “I can. I have a plan, I just--we have to talk about it, we have to decide what to do—”

“I have to intercept the Visionaries,” says Aza. “Before they can come here. Tell me your plan.” 

So Ebony takes another breath, and tells her. She goes through it in careful, conscientious detail, even more so than she had with Petranna--this is Aza’s entire life they’re talking about. “And then Sparrow will be waiting for us outside the basement entrance,” she finishes. “She’ll take us...well, I was gonna say anywhere you want to go, but if you want to go to the Visionaries…” She trails off.

The Visionaries live, have always lived, in protected seclusion. Ebony thinks it might be somewhere in the mountains, but that’s as close as she can guess. She has no idea where to take Aza, if that’s where she wants to go.

“They’ll be on their way soon,” says Aza. “If they aren’t already. We can just meet them on the way. They’ll believe me.” A soft glow of red lights the room and her hand closes tightly around the shard of crystal that appears in front of her. “This will speak for me, if nothing else.” 

“And…” Ebony’s almost sorry to bring it up, but it has to be said. “And after?”

Aza turns, looks at her, frightening in her focus. “After?”

“After you warn them. After we get out. You—” she fumbles, hesitates, blurts out, “you don’t have to come back here. If you don’t want to. I was going to leave, I was going to get away years ago but I’ve just kept waiting all this time and I think I was waiting for you. In six months I’ll be twenty and no one can tell us what to do after that, you could be free forever if you wanted--I was going to go to Novus Aevum, it’s big, it’s a good place to hide. You could--if you want--you could come with me? We could go together.” The words trail off and her cheeks are already burning.

Aza stares at her for a long time.

Tagging: @falling--in--place, @writekaywrite, @tinbramble, @toboldlywrite, @lady-redshield-writes. I know there used to be others who were on this list but then I died for months. Remind me if that’s you! (Or let me know if you want to be untagged!)

Breaking News - Explosion at AIPD Leaves Casualties, Many Without Power

Shortly after midnight, a large explosion went off in the Clearview District. Analysts say that the exact cause of the explosion is unknown, but that it was primarily triggered by a large quantity of high-voltage electrical power. The AIPD headquarters, where the blast is deemed likely to have originated, was completely destroyed, and surrounding buildings suffered significant damage, with many now deemed unsafe. Reports have come in from all throughout the district of residents experiencing power outages and electrical surges, and all electrical equipment within radius of the blast has stopped working.

Though exact casualty numbers are yet unknown, a source within the AIPD confirms that two Echoes who were currently confined within the jail appear to have been killed in the blast.

The AIPD will continue to investigate the cause of the explosion, and requests that all citizens keep their distance beyond the designated police line. There does not seem to be any further threat to the city at this time.

Further details of this story will be released as it develops. For more information, see HERE.

Breaking News - Battle Between Echos Leaves One Dead And Many Without Power

The AIPD reports the blackout in East Clearview was caused by a fight between two Echoes that resulted in property damage, several injuries, and the death of one Echo. Witnesses report a young man with white hair and dark clothes was seen manipulating electricity and throwing several metal poles at the victim, identified as the Echo Legato Bluesummers. 

The AIPD suspects this may be the same young man responsible for the death of the Echo Lilith Elysian, and ask that both Echoes and residents be aware that he is dangerous and unpredictable. Authorities request that anyone with further information come forward, and are continuing their investigation into both the previous murder and this one. Repair crews are hard at work to restore the damaged buildings and return power to affected residents.

Aevum Daily will continue to follow the story as it unfolds. For further details, see here.

NIGHTMARE MOSS CONSUMES CRYSTAL HEIGHTS

A mass outbreak of Nightmare Moss inside of the Crystal Heights Mall this past Monday left 18 encased, and 13 more in critical condition.

The outbreak has been marked as one of the most dense so far, while smaller outbreaks have been noted in the following districts:

Downtown Arcanus

Clearview District

Rosewood District

and most likely, more.

The AIPD has closed Crystal Heights for quarantine, and droid units have been sent in for further investigation of the moss' origin point.

Citizens are urged to avoid any and all sightings of the Nightmare Moss, as there is no confirmed safe way to retrieve a consumed individual from the moss.

Fanalean leader, Theodore Watson is working closely with Chief Victoria Stalwart and Lady Larkin of the Padedeu Temple to designate safe havens for those still safe from the moss. The first of which is designated by the temple in Silverbrook Hollow.

More updates on the way.

Stay safe, everybody.

Arcanus Archives Entries.

AN ALCHEMICAL ACCOUNT OF MODERN MEDICINES, by Lois Settara

(This historical document, found on the second floor of the Arcanus Archives, is mostly intact. It is, however, very old, and shows its wear and tear in water damage that renders some areas of the passage unreadable.)

Hypnum Insomnis Cupressiforme (otherwise known as Nightmare Moss) was a species of plant that was once used as a sleep-inducing medicine, due to the flowers of and leaves of this plant producing powerful narcotic properties. This medicine was known as MintWhiler’s Sopite.

However, historians now know that Nightmare Moss was a direct cause of various tragedies throughout the history of Arcanus Isle. Including ——— —— . At the time, those who ingested MintWhiler’s Sopite did find that they were more quickly able to sleep soundly, but soon thereafter, it was clear for all to see that this new medicine was actually —— ——. Those who took the draught to help their insomnia progressively failed to gain the very sleep they had once gone to this medicine for. They reported an increase in nightmares and night terrors, and progressively acted more and more erratically the longer they took their required dose. 

Those who doubled their doses in the hopes of rectifying their newfound inability to sleep would later report vivid hallucinations that afflicted their sight, hearing, and state of mind. While some would continue to only grow progressively more and more drowsy (reportedly sleeping in later and later despite outside interference), others grew despondent, showing a sharp increase in depressive moods, while others still became violent with strangers on the street, allegedly being followed and ‘attacked’ by the very people they themselves assaulted. 

It quickly became apparent that the cause of these widespread afflictions was none other than the petals and pollen used in MintWhiler’s Sopite, But although the narcotic was swiftly discontinued and removed from alchemists shelves, the consequences of using MintWhiler’s Sopite would continue to become more and more apparent in rapid succession, making the medicine and the Nightmare Moss a direct, leading cause of —– ——— – terrors.

HISTORY OF THE ARCANUS ISLE, VOL. 1

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE MASKED PILGRIMAGE.

During the earliest years of Arcanus Isle, fear and uncertainty ran rampant. Order was hard to come by as the Aercon of Arcanus Isle struggled to come together as one people. Chaos spread, and from this unrest, the Aether found itself thrust into the throes of one of its first cycles. This disquiet manifested as a ground-crawling plant that embedded itself deep into the earth of the isle, just as fear and unrest had embedded itself deep into the hearts of those who lived there.

This plant, soon to be known as Nightmare Moss, was first thought to be a blessing. Something to ease the nerves of those lucky enough to craft from its leaves and flowers, and put to slumber the uncertainties of the ‘morrow. This was quickly learned to not be the case, as sleeplessness led to the people of Arcanus Isle being subjected to horrific visions. These visions led to more violence, fear, and distrust among the Aercon, and all the while, the plant continued to spread, threatening to consume the Isle. 

At the peak of the moss’ infestation came the appearance of The Sleep Crawler. What was once thought to simply be figments of addled minds soon proved to be very real, and very deadly creatures. The Sleep Crawler was a terrible creature that could almost always be spotted around the moss. 

 It would hunt its prey by targeting those afflicted by the moss. With the spread of the moss, which sprouted even in the skin and bones of those who consumed its leaves, flowers or pollen-spread, the Aercon were easily made prey for the Sleep Crawlers. Once consumed by the very nightmares that the moss wrought upon the mind, victims would indeed become consumed by the moss’ overgrowth. Paralyzed and drowsy from the moss’ effects, the Sleep Crawlers would then consume the spirit of any captured creature, leaving behind only a husk of flesh and blood for the moss to take.

The Guardians Four gathered the people of Arcanus and ushered them through the Whispering Highlands through the Pass. They hoped to harbor those who remained sane in the safety of the Murkwood Forest. However, it did not take long for the Nightmare Moss to follow them there as well.

Faced with great turmoil and the threat of extinction, it was then that the Aercon of old were called to look deeply within themselves. To fight fear is to know fear, and to choose courage. And so although those many dangers surrounded them, they were able to overcome the nightmares that threatened to consume them whole. It was this resolve that allowed the Guardians to stabilize the Aether, and drive back the moss and the Sleep Crawlers so that neither organism would traverse the earth of the Isle ever again.

Thus concludes the history of the Pilgrimage through the Passage of Masks.

NIGHTMARE MOSS: A LIVING NIGHTMARE? 

Kaden Alfonz, a Professor of Botanical Studies at Arcanus University was found encased in Nightmare Moss this morning. Students reported his disappearance, having first noticed that Professor Alfonz was more tired than usual during his lectures. The man was found in his office by AIPD droid units, which were subsequently infected by the moss’ roots. 

Kristina Umbera, the chancellor of Arcanus University, has issued an evacuation statement across the campus, urging students and staff to access their nearest moss shelter. As of reporting, five more AIU staff members, and twelve students who were in contact with Professor Alfonz have also reported symptoms of the Nightmare Moss.

Professor Alfonz’s symptoms included: sleeplessness, lightheadedness, forgetfulness, and for some: an overly cheerful disposition.

Deep infection of the Nightmare Moss may also result in the moss growing on and around one’s person. Students who worked alongside the professor noticed that he had also entered hallucinogenic states, where his eyes would turn magenta as he would discuss the moss’ properties with an inappropriate amount of glee.
