May Event

something new inside & the storm something new inside may 11th-13th ↴ something new inside It's been a few days since the kite festival ended, and Wanderers and locals alike seem pleased to have passed time together in such a lovely festival. The weather is mild and the smell of flowers on the air sweet, and it seems that for once, Asgard might enjoy a spell of peace. On the morning of the 11th, some of you wake with a new itch beneath your skin. It's a sensation not unlike the one you felt when your god first granted you powers, and indeed, those of you who flew a runed kite during the festival discover that you have new abilities at your disposal! These new abilities start small, but each time a you use your power you find that your abilities grow in strength. Soon you can do more, and for longer before growing tired. In fact, you soon find that using your power is so fascinating that you don't want to stop. As you use them more and more, you might even find you can't stop, not for food, for sleep, or even to see the dear faces of your friends. And, hidden away in the clutches of the children who found them, the rune stones begin to pulse with a strange, blue light, one that grows in intensity the longer each of you uses your newfound powers. More information about the runes and their associated powers can be found in the infopost here! the storm may 14th-20th ↴ the storm As each of you use your rune granted powers more and more, the stones glow brighter and brighter, until at last they're nearly blinding to look at, and the air around them crackles with new energy that spreads outward and up. The children who found the runes grow fearful and hide them in the woods, but the damage is done. The storm summoned by all who used the runes has begun. With the storm now born, you no longer feel compelled to use your new power, but it sure would be helpful of you to use it to combat the intensity of the storm! Like the rune powers themselves, the storm starts small, with rain and occasional thunder, but it's clearly growing in strength. Wanders and locals like take shelter indoors, hoping for it to pass, but it soon becomes clear that the storm isn't going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, after several days, strange weather events begin taking place. Rain suddenly seems to flow upward, snowflakes begin to fall in otherwise warm air, and lightning springs up from the ground. As each day passes, the storm grows more violent, sending the local wildlife into a frenzy as the animals try to shelter from the sudden and unpredictable storm. Though you no longer feel the runes' pull, many of you soon realize that not only can your powers aid in weathering the storm, even those without powers can help to stop it. If runes brought the storm about, then destroying the runes will surely end it. Now where did those children put those stones, and how can they be convinced to show you for the good of all? It will surely take someone skilled in coaxing unwilling individuals - perhaps one of Tyr's ambassadors is up to the task...

"We don't know what this was," Lan Zhan rasps, voice shaking and desperate as Wei Ying seems to shrink into himself. He kisses across Wei Ying's temple and then his face, pushing his wet hair out of his pale face.

"Wei Ying, we don't know what this was. You're good, you're so good. We will figure out what has happened to you. I will figure out what has happened, I promise," he whispers, eyes stinging at how small and miserable and sunken Wei Ying's perfect face is. "Love you."

Wei Wuxian swallows, looking up at Lan Zhan's soaked face through the rain. His face is one of agony, an expression Wei Wuxian has sworn never to put there again, yet here it is. He looks as he had done in those few but endless moments as Wei Wuxian fell from the cliff, frightened and in pain.

The rain stops.

Wei Wuxian gazes at him seriously. "You might need to tie me up."

"Will do no such thing," Lan Zhan vows, looking at as the rain suddenly stops and placing another gentle to kiss to Wei Ying's furrowed brow. He can stop Wei Ying, physically, if he can. He can keep him inside by strength alone, keep him in his arms.

He carefully moves to pick Wei Ying up, movements deliberate and slow in case he does not want it. "Let me take care of you. Let me feed you and put you to bed with me."
