"Love Fool" Player Plot Log
Characters: Diarmuid Ua Duibhne and anyone affected by his curse or who wants to get caught up in the chaos!
Setting: March 29th-April 4th. Anywhere in the tower during the beginning of the event, primarily in and around Room 4-16 later in the event.
Format: Any!
Summary: Instead of being mostly inactive, Diarmuid's curse starts being active most of the time and it's affecting both men and women! Chaos ensues! An OOC plotting and sign up post is here.
Warnings: Death, violence, blood, worms (X.x Kariya...), psychological torture, swearing, shenanigans of a romantic nature, and ANGST! I will update as it is needed!
Notes: Being affected by Diarmuid's curse requires a tag on his permissions post here so please make sure to stop by! If the log gets too big, I will make a second, overflow log and link it here. While most sections have dates on them, they are only references for the time of the week that the events are going on and not when the section is available for posting. All sections are open for posting just as soon as the log goes up and will stay open throughout the event.
Notice: The log is open! Have fun everyone and feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
Background Information:
One of Diarmuid's most defining traits is his curse, actually a gift given to him by a spirit of love, beauty, and youth as repayment for something he did for her. Unfortunately, while something like that might be an actual gift to a fellow spirit or god, giving it to a human doesn't work quite so well. Being a honorable man, though, Diarmuid has never taken advantage of those affected by his curse. Instead, he has done his best to let them down gently and guide them through the pain caused by it. Sometimes this has worked and sometimes it hasn't. In either event, he remembers vividly every person he's ever hurt because of it.
That approach works well until the woman who falls in love with him is his Lord's fiancee and a princess who won't take no for an answer. She places a geis on him that forces him to run away with her. Many things end that night and a great many more begin. At least, that's how the legends go.
In the tower, his curse has been weakened somewhat so that it is only rarely active. However, when it activates and for how long is random, and he doesn't know when it is happening until those affected start acting oddly toward him. Those so affected seem to remain that way for a week or two and often have some success controlling their reactions to him if they have a strong will or know that they are under the curse's spell.
Event Information:
During the event instead of activating only once and a while, Diarmuid's curse will almost constantly be active. It will also affect men and women meaning that almost everyone he runs into in the tower has the chance of being affected. He will not know this right away and will continue going about his normal patrol routes, meetings, and so on until he finally realizes what is going on. Once he does, he will start hiding in his room to limit the number of people affected. However, this won't work out so well because with him staying in one place, anyone who is under the curse's spell and trying to find him isn't going to have to look very hard.
Every day he will be spending at least a little time out of his room so that a character can be hit by the curse whenever they wish to be during the event. Anyone is welcome to have their character affected whether or not they actually have CR already with Diarmuid. This is actually a good time to start up CR if you have wanted to, but not been sure how since he will be checking in with people to make sure they are okay once the effects of the curse have passed. New players are also welcome!
How strongly and how long a character is affected by the curse is totally up to that character's mun. And remember, your character doesn't have to be affected by the curse to participate! Do they want to troll Diarmuid by acting like they are affected when they aren't? Do they want to slip him a gift or thank you but have been too shy to until they have the chance to do it under the guise of something else? Might they just be passing by Room 4-16 and get caught up in a fight? Do they have a friend who is affected and are trying to 'help' them out? Anything is possible and creativity is encouraged!
Below I have set up several locations and times to have things going on, but feel free to start something elsewhere if you wish! Private meetings between characters working together or other similar posts are welcome. Just be sure to mark what is going on. In an effort to try and keep everything to one log, I have made sub-headings for his Mailbox and for Network posts should characters wish to use those things as well to show their feelings. Because people are competing for his attention to the point of fighting in some cases, please be aware that I am encouraging threadjacking and sneaky tricks like stealing gifts out of his mailbox or from his room. If you want to make sure that a thread isn't interrupted by others or a gift stolen, please mark the thread's subject line with the word "Locked." Any thread marked in such a way should only have Diarmuid and the thread starter replying in it unless other arrangements have been made. All other threads are considered open for interruption, but please remember to be polite.
Important Note: To help keep things organized, please make sure to put either "Open" or "Locked" in the subject line of all newly started threads so that people know if it is okay to jump in or not. It is all right if you decide to change the status later in the thread--just adjust the comment title in the next post.
Diarmuid will not respond to threads that aren't marked until they are marked, and I would ask others not to either since once replied to, comments can't be edited. Once the thread is marked, it is fair game to be replied to.
During the end of the event players will find it harder to get into Diarmuid's room because the way will be blocked. Master Kariya Matou (vermicompost ) will have ordered his Servant Berserker (chevalier_mal_fet ) to guard the door. Far from what it looks like on the outside, both men aren't trying to help protect their friend from those affected. Instead, they have also been affected and are tying to keep away all other potential suitors! Can anyone say Boss Fight? Will those affected team up to take them down or maybe just sit back and let them take out a few rivals to thin the competition? It's all up to you guys and how nuts you want to get!
Important Note: When tagging the 'Boss Fight' section, in addition to marking your post "locked" or "open" in the subject line, please also state if your character is meeting Lancelot in his true form--which will mean having to deal with him in some way so your character can get through to the room--or in Diarmuid's form--which will mean he will greet your character and act like Diarmuid in an attempt to lead your character away from the room. Your character is free to be fooled or see through his deception as the thread progresses. Just be aware that Lancelot's mimic ability is high level and will take either knowing Diarmuid and his quirks well or having a lot of magical knowledge to see through.
Finally, while the tone for the event is mostly fun and humorous, if you want there can be more serious consequences. If any character is involved in a serious incident or dies because of something related to the event, please make sure you put a comment in this section with your character's name, journal, a quick blurb about what happened and, most importantly, if you want Diarmuid to know what happened. Obviously, because of his nature, he is going to want to contact anyone who is seriously impacted by or killed because of his curse.
That's it! Go forth and cause chaos! If there are questions or problems at any time, please feel free to contact me via pm though Diarmuid's journal (oathshackledbird ) or on Plurk at ![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

IC Event Introducton:
The day starts off like any other for Diarmuid and for that he is glad. After all that had happened at the end of the month in February, quiet and routine days are something he is not going to argue against. Besides, with so many people who are from some version of the world he knows having arrived this month, he would really like them to have a chance to settle in before things get too chaotic again. There are those he would also like to spend as much time with as possible before anything else happens. So many people, himself included, need as much time as they can get to just sort out the things going on in their heads.
The problem is, will the tower give that time to them? Diarmuid knows each quiet day is one more step forward so that they can all be prepared for whatever the administrators throw at them next.
A small smile crosses his face as he takes off to make his first patrol of the tower. After that, he will probably have something to eat at the cafeteria, before taking some time to visit friends. Sometime before nightfall, he will make another patrol of the floors before retiring to his room for the night. It's a simple day and considering how quickly things can go bad in the tower when things get too complex, he's not bothered at all by that simplicity.
It's just a shame that he doesn't realize, as he leaves his room, that things won't stay simple for long. Not with his curse suddenly becoming active in a way it never has before...

no subject
[He seemed to be less concerned with finding a way through them and more focused on getting rid of the group entirely, judging by the 'if looks could kill' critical stare.]
no subject
's hairwould be in flames by now.Kariya, on the other hand, just looks a little bemused. Gives a bit of a wave.]
Ah, are you trying to visit? I could clear you a path, probably.
[Unlike Waver, apparently he has no compunctions about worming his way through the crowd.]
no subject
[As it is, he's debating pulling out the mercury.]
no subject
[He's still wary of calling Servants by their real names in any kind of public situation, even if this seems more like a very elbow-liberal festival than anything else.
It's only somewhat disconcerting for him, but he can see why Waver might be a bit peeved.]
no subject
Something about him seems to be going a bit haywire, shall we say.
no subject
Considering the crowd is composed of both sexes and he'd only learned of Diarmuid's pseudo-curse in passing almost a month ago, it might be more understandable that Kariya just isn't catching on right now.]
... I'm afraid you know him better than me, so I'm not sure what you mean.
no subject
Diarmuid's kind of a magical magnet for girls, literally speaking. But this...this is different. There's not just women here--something weird's going on.
no subject
[Or at least, it shouldn't usually be this big a problem? He would have heard a lot more about it if it had been, right? Considering the nature of the thing and how enclosed the Tower is. News travels faster than light some days.
He looks around again.]
This is a little worrying, now that you mention it.
no subject
[Waver crossed his arms, eyes narrowed suspiciously at the group nearby.]
Something's wrong here. If that's why everyone's here, this is on a scale beyond anything I expected. And like hell I'll let some damned curse make him miserable again.
no subject
[It seems strange for the so-called administrators to go so far just to play with the powers of one individual, but if the (still-growing) crowd is any kind of indication, they're just hitting every other bird with the same magical stone.
It sounds like a bad romance novel, if he's honest, but the emerging trainwreck isn't especially funny. Actually, it would do a pretty good number on Kariya's temper if he let it. He's only half-sure as to why.
(He tries not to think about what would happen if they ever interested themselves in the power living in the Matous.)]
You seem to have your work cut out for you. It's a little hard to tell which of you is the knight sometimes, you know? [A little wryly. He's silent for moment, looking at the crowd himself.] It might be a little harder to keep them from hurting themselves than anything.
no subject
[Waver seemed to be caught off guard by the 'knight' remark, but he shrugged it off quickly.]
I can break up a fight or several if I need to.
no subject
[He reaches up with a casual gesture and the Blade Wing Worms over his shoulder spread out a little over the crowd. There's probably a bit of commotion and complaining, because most of them have no idea where the sudden insects are coming from.
At least it breaks up the shoving and mean looks a little, though.]
If it keeps going long enough.
no subject
There's far too much potential for an utter catastrophe. While I'd rather avoid getting my hands dirty, so to speak, this is a bomb just waiting to detonate.
What we need is something to get them to disperse, even if only a little.
no subject
[He regards the mercury with a mix of curiosity and anticipation. He does want to see what Waver has in mind with that, but maybe they should try something simpler, first?]
Has Lancer tried moving around? That might help a little with the mobbing.
no subject
no subject
no subject
no subject
[Part amusement, part genuine curiosity, not morbid in any way, shape or form. He hums thoughtfully.]
At that rate, it would be more effective for my Worms to herd them.
[And that is in some part a serious offer. He'd rather not use the Worms too forcefully when it comes down to it -- the situation doesn't warrant it yet.]
