curiosity killed the cat, not the wolf [descent]

[rotwhyler]

Taboo was, as any wolf might be here, lost. This was not her usual romping grounds by any means, but she ended up here anyways after a couple days of adventuring. Now, the adventure was almost all out of her and she was ready to return to her homelands, but there was something she needed to attend to first. A voice had sounded in her head, a divine voice, and the purpose of her journey was to seek it out. Well, the time has come. This feels right -- her fur bristled not from fear but from some other mystical power, and she knew this was the right place. Stopping in her tracks, Taboo placed her rump on the ground and looked to and fro. Nothing seemed out of place, yet, this feeling...making sure nobody was around to see her potentially talk at nothing but the air, she opened her maw and spoke: "Hello? Were you the one who spoke to me? I have so many questions! I'm so curious!"

The air was beginning to feel heavy, charged, even in Xaoc Forest - even to a creature whose experience with the mortal realm was admittedly brief. Something was coming, something strong, but Chaos believed it was something the mortals would be able to handle. She had a suspicion that her very presence was likely to cause some of these things to occur, but that's what happened when you shook a petri dish: the lid might pop off. The immortal sighed as a voice rang out across her domain, breaking the stillness, and she drifted in that direction. It was most comfortable for her to remain incorporeal a majority of the time, but not because it was hard to take form - rather, she had to compress her power into a tiny little shell, kind of like squeezing feet into shoes that were too small. The female was nattering on, even as Chaos took form before her. A small fox, seemingly harmless, daintily sat and eyes sagely closed. "Yes, yes, it was me. It's really quite simple, child. If you want power, speak it. Then take it back with you and cause some havoc." Always the same advice, though these silly mortals hardly ever heeded it. They seemed a bit timid about bending the laws of nature, and hadn't yet realized the type of subjugation they could inflict on their fellow creatures. But soon, the dam would break. Soon, it would all crumble. ------------------------------------------------------- You can either pick a power you have in mind or the old lady can get creative ;) rotwhyler

A charge of energy swept down Taboo's spine and suddenly, there she was: the one who called to Taboo. Though she took the form of a rather serene looking fox, Taboo knew she was so much more than that. Her heart swelled and she had so many questions, but something told her to shut up just this once. And then the goddess spoke.

"Power...? I can have power? Any sort of power?" Ideas rushed through her mind and her tail thumped the ground in response to her unsatiated curiosity and the potential for power. But, after moments of deliberation, she ultimately decided on something. "Goddess, what do you see fit for me? I trust you know what's best for someone like me."

(Give her any power, I'm leaving it up to you! c: also posted from mobile sorry about any coding mistakes.)

Well, alright, perhaps the female wasn't quite as nattering as initially thought. She was energetic, to be sure, but she wasn't disrespectful. So many of these mortals came to her with things in mind, blurting out the first thing that came to mind, instead of allowing her to exercise her creative muscles. Ah, but the possibilities were endless! So, something special for this child. "Very well, I will give you something that may greatly aide you in the coming months and years, if you can become strong. The weather will be your domain, though it will not be an easy thing to tame. Good luck, child." ------------------------------------------------------- Taboo has been given the beginner level of weather manipulation. At this level, she won't be able to consciously do much - however, she will find the weather responding to her emotions and moods. Not on an extreme level, but perhaps rain falls on a cloudy day if she is sad or the wind picks up if she is upset. If she is happy, the sun is most likely to be shining. At this level, severe weather will not be affected by her, nor can she create it. If she does manage to force one of these minor weather changes, it will take a lot of focus and effort and will likely leave her exhausted. Tasks to Intermediate • Have a thread where Taboo somehow affects the weather through strong emotion (this would probably be easiest if something makes her very angry or very sad). With her upbeat nature, you'll likely want to find a jerkish wolf in the plot board that can make her upset! But it's up to you how you'd like to go about this. • Visit the Rainforest and kill an anaconda - bring it to Chaos (she wants to revive it and have a giant pet snake -eyeroll-). This can be done solo or with help. When you're ready, request a modded hunt here. • Have a thread where Taboo does manage to make it rain or cause the wind to blow or the sun to come out through her own will. This can be a single-post thread, and be as long or as short as you'd like. When you're finished, post the links in this thread! rotwhyler
