arcanarumlogs | [EVENT] The Visitations

Who: All Characters
When: November 29-December 19
Where: Your Home
What: The Visits
Warnings: For language and other dark elements.

This is going to go a certain way! Each time there is a visitation by a ghost, we will post a thread. Then, we will respond to that thread, if you indicate you want us to do so, or if you will have other characters in the thread. Remember, the Ghost of Christmas Past will have all your characters in the same moment of time, so if you want to be able to interact with each other, go ahead. Additionally, you will be viewing the moment in time that your denizen was killed from a third person perspective, so you can meet up with anyone during that time, but you cannot talk to your denizen. Once your denizen is dead, you are free to move around the island.

During the viewing with the Ghost of Christmas Present, you will be in the same situation, but only able to view things within your own canon. This means you can’t really speak to anyone but the NPC of the Ghost, which will be played by the mods.

For when The World shows up, we will have a separate thread for her and Kuma will be responding to you with her. You can freely talk to anyone here as well, in the game.

If there are any questions please respond to the thread provided below.

Like--y'know. Sideburns, lack of eyebrows, really sharp teeth. Still bipedal. The normal one. [He makes a round gesture at his face, trying to get his meaning across. It's important knowledge; there's a huge difference between stopping a 90 pound, four legged wolf, and a 147 pound pile of bones and skin and teeth and rage. He'd rather not have them find out which is which too late.

At Derek's last question, he shakes his head, trying to remember. That conversation felt so long ago...] It's a guy, and apparently he's not very friendly. I guess that's kind of par for the course, I don't know what I was expecting. There's no such thing as Casper the Friendly Werewolf.

That's typically called the Beta form, even when an Omega takes it. Largely because Omegas are still, technically, Betas. All they lack is a pack. [ Though the fact that he doesn't know whether Stiles would take the form or not is a worrisome one. There is a difference, especially when all of them are human. Derek could take him either way, but not without a fight and some injuries with the deal. ] I don't know, though. Things are different here.

[ The fact that apparently the non-pack werewolf isn't friendly doesn't surprise him, nor does Stiles' comment regarding the information. ] Scott tends to count towards 'Friendly Werewolf.' But we can see if we can get any information out of him.

That's what I'm concerned about. There's this scale of werewolf, like--Werewolves in London, Big Wolf on Campus, the Wolfman, and then there's you guys. How are we supposed to know if this is constant---see, this is why I told Scott he needed to get up on his werewolf lore. Just because she died the same way you guys can doesn't mean she can't be killed by silver, or god only knows what else. And for that matter, how are we supposed to find information on her?! I've been back ages in that log thing, and I haven't found a thing about her.

[He sighs.]

Yeah, I guess so. Getting information by asking nicely, or getting information by punching him in the face until he acquiesces? Because that kind of decides who exactly does the talking.

[ He takes the references in stride calmly, crossing his arms and focusing his attention away from the hide and Stiles, out through the gates. ] Maybe there's someone here who could answer you. Someone that's a native to the island. We'd have to find them, but that's not exactly going to stop us. [ It's a better alternative to finding out through experience, that's for sure. If the pack remains human, he's not exactly enthused about the prospect of Stiles wolfing out around them. ]

Start by asking nicely. If he doesn't answer, then we can go my route. [ A dry joke, but they sort of need it right now. ]

[For a moment he purses his lips, thinking it over. Derek's right, as much as it, as per usual, pains him to admit, but it's going to be harder than anything to find someone who'd actually lived here for long enough to know who Red actually was.]

There's just one problem with that--no one we've met here so far's exactly friendly. Who's to say they're actually going to talk? Especially about potential plan-ruining information. I don't know about you, but I don't want to share anything that's potentially plan ruining of mine, even if they're not nefarious.

[At the dry joke, he raises his eyebrows, exhaling noisily.] Well...guess we'll have to apply that to whatever Arcanarumzen we happen to find, too.

I'd rather not anyone know anything that the pack does. It's in our best interest to play things as close to the chest as we possibly can, and only include those we trust most with information that's relevant to them. Case-by-case basis. That makes investigating off the... network just as difficult, but we need to be careful.

[ As much as he'd like to think he doesn't need to remind anyone, Derek sometimes thinks that even they forget. Stiles sharing information with Waver still irritates him, but the man reminds him in a way of Deaton. Much as he doesn't trust him, he could provide information.

Not about Red, though. ]

If they don't cooperate, it's not as if we have a choice.

[He can practically feel Derek judging him for talking to Waver. But to be fair, Stiles wasn't exactly expecting them all to show up. Besides, he wasn't dumb enough to betray his information to just anyone. There was an uneasy sort of trust between them, but the pack needed people who were outside, too.]

Yeah, yeah, understood. We'd not know half the crap we do already if it wasn't for those archives. [It shouldn't be a problem withholding what they learned...as much as he doesn't want to.]

I guess we need to find out the wolf's name. When this--this is over with, I'll look through the network and try to get it figured out. And then...[And then, how the hell were they going to find someone who lived here.]

[ Though he judges, Derek's starting to actually recognize the fact that not everyone is so distrusting as he is, instead of disregarding it and enforcing his secrecy as heavily as he does. If they can find people that are worth giving some amount of trust outside of the pack, then he's... well, he's willing to ease into it. Or try, anyways. ]

No, we wouldn't. That's a case where it's... fine. [ It's a grudging acceptance, but he offers it nonetheless.

He lets out a heavy sigh, rolling his head to crack his neck as he thinks on how they could find this non-pack wolf. ]

See if you can find a video or audio entry. We can't track by sound as easily as before, but it's still something if we know what he looks or sounds like.
