a show of lights

When characters wake on the "morning" of the 23rd, they'll find all of Beacon is lit up beautifully. Spirits have carefully placed candles all around the town, lighting up the familiar buildings and streets with a warm, comforting glow. If others wish to help, they're more than welcome, but it won't take too long: they've clearly spent all night getting things ready. If asked, Rastus will explain the spirits do this every few years, and yes, those candles are lit from the bonfire, but he'll get them back before the end of the event.

Once the spirits finish their task, it's time to hand out dreidels! While the four-sided toy has the usual Hebrew letters on it, characters will soon realize that they've little correlation to the typical rules. Instead: each side offers a certain kind of prize (listed below). Characters can play against the spirits or among themselves, but either way, they'll find a personal dreidel in their possession for the duration of the event.

Of course, the spirits aren't the only ones in a holiday mood. Thanks to the tireless (and secretive) efforts of Eleven, quite a number of people wake up to find a present nearby. The wrappings vary from elegant to, well, an effort, and the gifts range form big to small, but there's no doubt each was given with at least a little thoughtfulness in mind.

The body came back. The soul did not.

( so, imagine a body that had nothing inside of it. )

It was...not good.

[unpredict]

[ let's just be clear about one thing: kol's very, very, very glad that that was not the case with him.

eyebrows shooting up, he's definitely hooked. ] How did they come back?

[ he has a feeling he knows the answer. they returned as a shell, perhaps even as a monster. ]

[necromantiae]

Wrong.

( that's really the only way to describe it. )

Empty.

[unpredict]

Empty?

[ his brows crease so far down his face almost drops to the ground. how can someone fuck up a resurrection that badly? except he can believe it. imagine if davina hadn't done his right and he'd come back all… not himself. ]

How the hell—What was inside of the body? A spirit? A demon? Anything?

[necromantiae]

The body was there. But, I don't know how he was living. There was nothing in there that makes a person...human. Or alive.

( he shakes his head. )

It was really quite horrifying. My cousin was devastated that it didn't work.

[unpredict]

[ wow.

in all of his years… he's heard of a few resurrection cases go wrong, but perhaps he had to be there to really experience the true horror. ]

I have a feeling this story doesn't have a happy, soul-returned-to-body kind of ending. What happened to the thing brought back?

[necromantiae]

It wasn't a happy ending. I don't know exactly what it was that came back but we were able to send it back to where it belonged. And the body died again.

( harvey shouldn't have had to deal with all that. )

And my cousin knows not to try something like that again.
