It Feeds On The Blood, It Feeds On The Heat

[itstillhurt]

Who: Azula and various CR
Which: Noctaere Plot Log (Closed)
Where: Various locations in Reverein, the Wastelands and Interactive Dreamscapes
What: On the night of the 21st, the heat becomes unbearable. A thunderstorm rolls over Reverein, but there's no rain- posing its own problems when lightning strikes the dry earth. The shape of a bird made of blue flame can be seen fleeing from the village, but the weather disturbances remain, as does the damage it's causing. Fires are a serious concern. The unnatural storms will last until the end of the 22nd. After that, the unnatural dry and intense thunderstorm will subside into a normal heavy rainfall.

Warnings: A lot of violence, possibly including arson and burns. Also some examination of a backstory including abuse, neglect, war crimes, and themes of genocide.

Noctaere Encounters

[itstillhurt]

[Against the dark and heavy clouds, it's hard to miss the massive birdlike shape made of fire. If one gets close enough, one might notice the form of the actual human girl in the center of the flames.

She's keeping to the skies, heading toward the wildlands. Which would probably be fine, if the unnatural weather wasn't sparking off random fires- particularly in the places she travels.]

Dreamscape Encounters

[itstillhurt]

[As soon as you enter Azula's dreamscape, you're greeted by chaotic images- fragments of memories, words, scenes, jumbling together without context. Individual sentences and scenes might be recognizable amongst the din, but nothing coherent. Faces, as well, might be recognizable among the chaotic maelstrom of visuals- Her own face, hair butchered and limp, glaring in a mirror. A sad-looking woman who resembles an older, gentler Azula with darker eyes. A severe man with long, immaculately styled hair and a carefully-groomed goatee. Her own brother, as a child, face still unscarred. A girl Azula's own age with a dour face, glaring in resentment. Another girl, cheerful and sunny expression marred by fear. A massive wild man with hair and beard like overgrown plants, eyes glowing with malicious glee. An earnest, smiling boy with death-pale skin.

Finally, the chaotic mesh of words and faces subsides, and you find yourself in the dream.]
