Day 437 ( Apr. 22/23 )

After giving some consideration to the nature of their bonds with their patron deities, Sam Winchester posts to the network supposing a theory: if the gods can feed magic into the Travellers to give them their House Powers, perhaps, then, the Travellers can feed magic back into the gods. They have been under great duress both with Odin's collapse and the most recent disasters in the kingdom, even the smallest bit of a boost may make a difference.

Using the same runes from Draco's magic expansion plot, Travellers will be advised to draw the personalised god runes for their patron deity somewhere on their bodies in runic ink, anywhere it might not be disrupted or broken. For the duration of this day, every time the Travellers use any form of magic - be it House Powers or other runic magic - the god rune will glow faintly in the colour of their patron. The energy they pour into their magic will travel along the bond to their god and give them something of an energy shot, just the slightest lift in their strength and energy.

However, performing this transfer comes at a cost. The more magic performed, the more the Travellers will be drained of their own energy in a nearly euphoric way. The exhaustion will come in a vague sense of warmth and affection ( as it is, after all, the spirit of the Mother that gives the gods their magic ), as the need for a nice cup of their favourite cocoa, or perhaps a comfortable nap in the sunlight, or maybe even a profession of love.

Yes, we're giving you an aphrodesiac curse. As the Travellers grow more and more tired, they will grow more and more inclined to cuddle up with someone or something they care about and sleep off the exhaustion. This is generally harmless and will not be an extreme; it will not create feelings of love where there are none and it will not encourage them to do the nasty or anything like that. It's more simplistic than that, a base sort of love that comes in simple touches or a spoken word of love.

Anyone participating in this event is more than welcome to vary up the way this manifests in their characters, but by the end of the day, all Travellers using the transfer will be taking a collective nap for a few hours. When they wake, the euphoric effects will be gone and the god runes will no longer be active. Fingers crossed no one came across them cuddling with their best friend!

[ OOC NOTES: This is the mingle log for the Almost Useful special event! Remember that your character can only use the rune for their patron god. Please put [OPEN/CLOSED] along with the time/location of your character in the title of your comment. Let us know if you have any questions! ]

[When Hamel notices the shadow puppet show, he stops to watch. It's pretty cool and since he's in a fairly good mood, he whistles appreciatively.]

Nice. Why don't you make a dragon?

[runtothesunlight]

[Oh it's this guy...Hamel, right? One of those who apparently knew him from before.]

Okay.

[He then has his shadow form into that of a dragon. This dragon exactly, though a bit on the small side to accommodate.]

[abhero]

[Another whistle.]

Cool. You shadow people can make them like real animals, right?

[runtothesunlight]

Yep. Say hello.

[The dragon will start nuzzling Hamel like a dog. Even his shadow is affectionate today.]

[abhero]

[Well, that makes it seem a little less badass... but still cool. Hamel tries to touch it, becasue come on, you don't get to pet a dragon every day.]

[runtothesunlight]

[Hey now, there's nothing more badass than getting to pet a dragon. Eventually though, the tiredness starts getting to him again.]

Sorry, I have to call him back now.

[The shadow dragon disappears back into his normal shadow again. Short show, but it was cool, right?]

[abhero]

[Very cool. Hamel's eyes follow the dragon shrinking back into Minato's shadow.]

Oh man that was awesome. People in Hel get all the good stuff.

[He's serious. Shadow control is awesome and body control is even better.]

You could totally make a show of that, ask people for money.

[runtothesunlight]

[Wow, first Ryoji, now this guy thinks he should show off more.]

It's just a hobby. I'm not interested in that.

[abhero]

[Hamel can't comprehend that. Why on earth wouldn't you be interested in money or attention?]

All the more reason to, if it's a hobby. It's more fun.

[runtothesunlight]

[Because he's a shy recluse who doesn't like to show off...at least on the surface.]

Eh. If I went that route, I'd rather be a rap artist.

[abhero]

[He raises an eyebrow.]

Is that like special gift wrapping or something?

[Hamel is more of a classical music guy.]
