Goddess Plot
The problem with having libraries full of books from all over the world is that you can’t be sure what information is contained within them. It’s even harder when the building shifts around and you can’t always keep track of how many libraries there even are.
Enter our latest plot.
One of the books in the libraries is entitled You are the Goddess. It is a beautiful book, bound in leather with gold leafing and intricate hand drawn illustrations.
The idea presented in the book is that all women are part of the goddess. Each goddess has her own garden where their strength and beauty and individuality grow. But then the men (the “fire bringers”) try to enter a goddess’ garden. If they’re allowed to do so, they’ll begin setting the garden ablaze.
All nice and symbolic and metaphorical and gender stereotyping, right? Except the book is also enchanted. When a woman reads it, she will then feel the urge to pass it on to other women, encouraging them to also read through it with fanatical praise (basically preteen girls first discovering Twilight). On and on it goes. The more women who read it, the stronger the spell is.
The first person reads it, and it seems like a good point. A few more people read it and they begin to snap at men and quote the book a lot. A few more and the women are warrior goddess, shutting themselves away and trying to attack any men who come close.
If a guy can get a hold of the book, the key to the spell is clear. A kiss is all you need to lift the spell. The problem? How do you get close enough to kiss one of them?
A few notes:
1. This is open to anyone who wants to play. You don’t have to, though! Your character can happily avoid the whole fiasco.
2. This is not related to metaplot. It’s just for funsies.
3. If your character identifies as female and reads the book, the spell will affect them. If they identify as male, the spell will not.
4. The kiss does not have to come from someone your character loves or even knows. Just someone who isn’t affected. Feel free to mack on a stranger for the sake of breaking her free from the spell (with mun permission, of course).
5. The mods obviously do not endorse any ideas presented within this plot. It’s just for funsies.
The currently proposed timeline is as follows:
Day 131 (starting April 23): The book is discovered and begins to get passed around.
Day 132 (starting April 26): The women begin to get snappish and are distancing themselves from the menfolk.
Day 133 (starting April 29): The women are basically Amazonian warriors.
Feel free to use this spot to ask questions, volunteer to be the first person to find the book, or just plot stuff out!
