EVENT: The Great BREW Malfunction Pt 1 [OPEN]

[soul_mods]

Characters: Everyone and anyone
Location: Anywhere in Death City!
Rating: PG-13
Time: Starting July 14 after 11am to July 15
Description: ...something strange is going on here.

At some point, something strange begins to happen. People start randomly disappearing. Sometimes they reappear immediately after and they may not even notice, but sometimes there's a noticeable lag between their disappearance and their reappearance.

Sometimes, they don't even reappear in the same place!

At least it doesn't seem to be dangerous. Unless you disappeared from your kitchen and reappeared at the other end of the city. In which case, you might want to start running.

Either everything sort of points at this being BREW related (after all, if it were Witches, there would be a lot more danger).

"Well, there is also a tumble down the stairs as they all say. Which would be simpler?" He asked with a small grin.

"Currently, yes. But the original Demon Weapons were created by the spider witch, Arachne. Through human sacrifice and the harvested soul of a witch who could change the shape of her body at will, the very first few were born. The gene, as it were, was passed onto their offspring through the millennia."

He rubbed his chin. "Which leads me to wonder of Meister genes as well. Should a Meister and Weapon pair, have children together... what would become of such a union?"

Lily just rolled her eyes at the stairs comment. She'd prefer to transform without tripping again when the time came!

The door closed for a minute and there was a trace of horror on her face when she emerged again in a plain black dress.

"...Human sacrifice and transforming witches? You mean Weapons came about because of some twisted genetic engineering?" There was so much strange in this world, she'd never given much thought to the possibility that even Weapons weren't natural for this place.

"And that sounds more like a question for those folks at the school." A pause as a thought occurred to her. "...You don't think that's what's gotten us into this mess, do you? Would a child like that inherit both and be able to switch between the two?"

His heart swelled with the opportunity to divulge his knowledge, and the grin spread across his face quickly enough.

"That is precisely the spark that ignited the flames of war. When Arachne sacrificed a human, her fellow witch, and placed their souls within an inanimate object, such an act not only angered her fellow witches, but caught the attention of the Shinigami as well... the one who had passed. Arachne fled 800 years ago, her soul divided into small spiders to hide and lie in wait. In the interim, the weapons made families, continued the bloodline and spread, using their power to defeat the witches that swore allegiance to Arachne, hoping to drive her out if not eliminate her completely. ...For she, and her family, are not only influential to other witches seeking to spread chaos, but they are fond of human experimentation as well."

"Arachne was defeated a year ago. Her soul created the Deathscythe 'Soul Eater' Evans. But the war is far from over. Her dear sister, Medusa, the witch of snakes... she is Shibusen's current target. She created the Black Blood of Madness in hopes to make 'perfect weapons' in her sister's stead. The witches we fight now work directly beneath Medusa, testing the black blood's effects on the world while capturing humans and driving them to madness, feeding them to each other to create new kishin eggs. As for the remaining witches, the ones who feel no love for Arachne or her wicked sister... they exist, but have presumably gone into hiding. I suppose when a witch and her forces are able to kill the Shinigami, death itself... it pays to be cautious, hm?"

[vintage_magic]

As he explained, she sat in a kitchen chair, pulled her Keds on and tied the laces. Her brow furrowed as she tried to take it all in.

"This all sounds rather difficult to believe. Are you telling me one single witch started this whole mess? And why make Weapons if they're capable of killing their own kind? That seems like playing with fire."

Okay, she's ready to leave now...

[lezard_valeth]

"My suspicions speak of the possibility of using the humans for her own ends. To have humans under her thrall that can change forms to something she can use herself, perhaps... but such a theory is far-fetched."

He tipped his head.

"...Shall we be off?"

[vintage_magic]

"So, an army of minions? That still sounds like a risky way of doing things." But then, it was kind of like people who tried to summon and control demons, wasn't it?

She nodded as she stood up.

"All right. Let's go find this Baba Yaga and put an end to her troublemaking."
