EVENT LOG:
TURN THE LIGHTS OFF

characters: everyone.
location: around town.
date/time: january 20-29.
content: the lanterns begin to malfunction.
warnings: body horror and psychological horror. please cw tags appropriately.

you'll become one

January 20th arrives the same as all the days before it. There's no great pulse of warning that throbs through the air, no ominous wind that causes the bonfire to shudder. The spirits are neither agitated nor do they hide. You could almost miss the change, if the lanterns weren't always by your side. There's no explanation that comes with the way that it's changed, but it's impossible not to worry when it's happened so suddenly.

Maybe it takes a few days, or maybe it only takes a few hours, but suddenly it isn't just the lanterns that have changed. You, yourself, have become somehow different. It's possible that you won't even have the right state of mind to wonder how long it will last. At the very least, it appears you aren't alone. All across Beacon, lanterns are changing, and changing the people with them.

Out in the distance, the lighthouse's beam has turned green.

[ she frowns. even in her confusion she knows that adventuring onto the ice alone isn't a good plan, but she still finds her attention captured by the lighthouse. she glances toward him and notices his lantern giving off the same green glow as hers.

how strange. ]

We mustn't sit idle. Everything is changing. There will be no where safe to go.

Nothing is attacking us out here. Believe me, the easiest way to get hurt is walking around while you can't see right.

[The mushrooms on Tanetane Island wouldn't kill them directly, but the mental stress and inability to tell reality from hallucinations would have left them for dead if they hadn't found help when they did. At least someone can run into them while they sit.]

Unless...you think Robin might find out what's going on?

[sweetwater]

[ he makes a good point. Cheryl's not even sure what object are stationary. it's not the best time to be wandering around.

but that common sense doesn't change how she feels. ]

Robin knows nearly everything. [ finding Robin hadn't been her intention but maybe it explains her feeling drawn to the green light in the distance. part of her knows where to go. ] Wouldn't you like to know how we can resolve this terrible waking nightmare?

[mindofathief]

[A cross between a sigh and groan.]

Isn't it dangerous to go near the lighthouse? [He's mostly worried for Cheryl. He doesn't know if she knows how to defend herself. Plus neither of them are feeling great.]
