Goddess Plot

[shadowmods]

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!

Re: Questions/Comments for the mods

If the book is given to a woman (who isn't the first one), is there any compulsion to read it or do something with it?

Kally's Girls

[advancedbosoms]

Cordelia and Pepper will both be affected.

The key difference being that Cordy actually knows how to fight. Both are available for plotting on Day 130/131 and kissage. Cordy is also available for some fighting on Day 132 and to get her kissed, you're going to need to be able to actually defeated.

[advancedbosoms]

Answering from a non-mod journal because switching journals on my phone is hard.

The spell won't affect your character until they open the book. Once they read a word, they will then be compelled to keep looking through.

So if your character just opens the book out of curiosity or to satisfy someone who is insisting they do, then the spell affects them. If they don't open it and just move on then they're fine.

[notmeantforthis]

Samantha is totally going to be affected. Fair warning menfolk, she's surprisingly better in a fight than she appears. Be ready to defend and seriously for the love of god learn some sweet restraining moves before you try to kiss her or she'' kick your butt all over again.

CALENDAR QUESTION o: not really the plot

[notmeantforthis]

On the calendar on the mod journal day 129 is skipped - so does this event start 4/20 or 4/23?

Diana and Garmay

[diana_abel]

Diana and Garmay will both be hit by the spell.

Diana is extremely good with a sword and she has vampire powers. She'll also be decidedly more careless about biting menfolk. And as many of you are aware, her bite does cause an orgasmic side-effect. I really want her to fight with some of the boys. And obviously, someone needs to get kissy-face with her so she can deal with ALL THE GUILT later.

Garmay is a ninety pound waif Hylian. She's decent with a quarterstaff, but on the whole, not much of a fighter. She can light someone on fire, but it's not terribly impressive. More like throwing a match at someone than a blazing inferno. She'll be easy to take down. Kissing her will definitely open up doors for future CR since she doesn't know a lot of people and ain't much for kissing in general.

[shadowmods]

Oh goodness! Thanks for catching that.

Day 129 no longer exists, due to Niflheim Leap Year.

The plot will start on Day 131, April 23.

[afallenstar]

....This is actually the best response ever. WHOOPS LEAP YEAR.

[hypospraying]

If I'm understanding this correctly, this spell only makes them feel like Amazonian warriors who will fight all men, but it doesn't give them added strength or make them better fighters?

[shadowmods]

That's correct.

However, one could argue that the psychological change makes them feel more "empowered." And their minds could trick their bodies (think about a little old lady lifting a car to get a baby out because it's just so important).

Basically, we have nothing like that planned, but it can definitely happen, if you want it to happen.

[hypospraying]

I definitely like the idea of it! Chell and Ruby are my warrior women, but Christine isn't very strong. I could say she's eluding the guys well enough, but I like the idea of her charging after them swinging a weapon even more.

[hypospraying]

Putting all my ladies into this!

Chell will take to this like a duck to water and will fight any guy who she even sees. One the last day she needs kissed, but the guy won't get to her easily and even after he kisses her, there's a high chance she'll punch or shove him for kissing her, spell broken or not.

Christine already doesn't trust any of you tricky people, so this will only change in regards to her fellow goddesses. They'll be like sisters, and no menfolk are allowed in their garden! She'll fight guys with whatever she can find, including her bare fists and long kicking legs, and when taken down with a kiss, I'd prefer it to be someone she knows somewhat well.

Ruby is available for anyone who wants their male character absolutely wrecked (and not in the fun way). She has werewolf speed, strength, and sense of hearing and smell. Basically, she will hear or sniff out your guy, chase him down, and throw him into walls for fun while shouting about how men ruin everything. IDK how anyone's going to sneak in a kiss with all that, but good luck! She'll be very apologetic afterwards and bring flowers to your character's bedside while he's in traction.

[shadowmods]

Then go for it!

And if you want to get wilder, Christine could always find a magical glove or something in one of the random rooms that makes her Hulk out.

We want to make this as open as possible for you.

Blaine Anderson

[mediumdrip]

Blaine is open to being snapped at by the female folk! I also think it would be hilarious if he kissed someone, but that's because I like making things awkward for him.

Hey, at least there's no mistake of him thinking the kiss should be mean more?

[hypospraying]

I'll keep that in mind! Thanks!

First guy to find the book...???

[huge_egomd]

House is available for use as a punching bag. He might not even notice there's something wrong at first given most people want to punch him under normal circumstance ;p

ETA I volunteer House to be the one to find the book and figure out the cure...at which point he'll tell everyone else how to go fix the problem while he finds someplace safe to hide

Re: Questions/Comments for the mods

[itwasrhetorical]

Does it have to be a man that kisses a woman to snap her out of it?

Kally here

[(Anonymous)]

Nope! Just anyone who Isn't also under the spell (at that moment)

[ishouldcarewhyexactly]

Perfect. Thanks!

Re: Plotting

[ishouldcarewhyexactly]

Mary will be affected only if another woman is really pushy with the book. In other words, please someone decide to be pushy with Mary. :)

As for someone to rescue her, it would probably need to be someone relatively talented at getting around traps or sneaking around. You'd be up against a US Marshal after all.

Re: Plotting

[freebitchbaby]

Gaila, Glinda and Pasha are all going to be affected.

Gaila is the most dangerous. On Orion slavegirls are known as 'animal women' and known for being downright vicious. When her 'goddessness' is released she will be vicious and unrelenting and unafraid to hurt anyone who comes near her.

Glinda is obviously dangerous because of her magic. She will lash out with magic and make a big fuss out of every man in her path. She also has her wooden staff that she's rather adept at using to whack people. She's also fond of tackling people.

Pasha's the least physically threatening but the most likely to actively go out and try to fight males and set traps to capture them for her fellow Amazons. She's tiny and good at hiding so good luck trying to find her to kiss her >:| IF YOU DARE.

The three of them might well be ganging up for three times the fun.

Plotting

[mini_dean]

I highly doubt Ben is going to make it out of this unscathed. Please line up now for opportunities to give him reasons to never trust women again

Zoey

[cordelisse]

Still trying to figure out if Zoey's going to be affected. She probably will be, though.

If she is... well, Zoey can be vicious if she feels it's called for. And she's a damn good fighter, at least with a weapon. Which she has, and can improvise if needed. Have fun trying to get close enough to her to kiss her and break the spell!
