towerofanimus | [OPEN] let's become tangle buddies... [backdated to 10/18]

Characters: Jade Harley and you!
Setting: Anywhere, any time from October 18th to the end of the event.
Format: Action brackets!
Summary: Jade's come back as an Eldritch horror, and she's trying to give her candy to other people who actually need it. Unbeknownst to her, her mere presence can lead to some unpleasant side effects...
Warnings: Possible violence and character death (with discussion and permission, of course) depending on how characters react to her new form. Also, some body horror as far as Jade's appearance is concerned.

[For the first week, Jade was able to collect enough candy. Then came the 18th. She'd slipped up, and she ended up dying because of it. When she woke up, she was... different. Not the cute, harmless-looking magical girl she was dressed as before. No, now there was a live Squiddle on her head, one impaled on her wand, and her arms and legs seemed to have turned invisible. In general, everything about her body was just... off. It didn't even seem to obey normal Euclidean geometry anymore, though that wasn't really something that was readily visible.

Jade wasn't going to let this stop her from trying to help people, though! It wasn't much, but she still had some candy, and since she didn't need it anymore, she wanted to give it to other people. With that in mind, she took her plastic pumpkin full of candy and began to wander the tower, looking for people who needed some... She's going to try to get the attention of everyone else she sees in her wanderings.]

Hi! This is probably going to sound kind of weird, but... do you need any candy?

[Unfortunately, anyone who isn't used to Eldritch horrors is going to experience some... side effects. Their heads might start to hurt if they look at her for too long, they might start to feel a little woozy, and tendrils of madness might reach out and try to entangle themselves in their minds. Not only that- it will also look like she's warping around, so there will be times when they just plain aren't able to see her.

Jade will be watching everyone's reactions to her very closely. If they seem to be okay with her, she won't have any problem with them. If they look like they're scared of her ("don't look at me like that, I just want to help you, why won't you let me help you"), a mental switch will flip and she might start to get violent. If that happens... well, running is probably the best course of action. Of course, she will try to follow...

Should she actually manage to get rid of all that candy, she can be found fighting monsters and looking for prize pods... until those stop dropping candy, at least. She'll look around for people to give this loot to as well. Despite some of the reactions to her appearance, there's still an underlying desire to help other people out and show them that she's still her.]

((Gonna warn ahead of time that tags may be returned slowly since I'm not feeling very well today. Also, if you need/want to get in touch with me to plot stuff out, feel free to hit me up via PM or Plurk (at

cautionings)! I've made sure I can get private plurks from people I don't have added.

Also, if you could put a rough date/time for when the thread is taking place in the subject line, I'd really appreciate it!))
