June Event: What's Yours is Now Mine
Jun. 2nd, 2016 04:51 pm
You all know the trope in some form or another. An individual that has grown up more or less "normal" (in the sense of lacking anything special about them one way or another) is suddenly gifted strange, exciting and terrifying powers. Be it by birthright, accident, or even an inexplicable change in their life they now have something about them that they must grow in to, learn to control and contend with all the strangeness and unexpected responsibility that it comes with.
But what if the power that you held was suddenly not the one you had grown accustomed to. Your flight is replaced with control of fire, your telepathy instead teleportation, and so on and so forth.
Power Swapping is another commonly used trope especially in spaces where diversity of said abilities exists, and the castle is no different.
The heroes of the castle have gone relatively radio silent since the music event, and as such it seems that the Queen has done the same. The truth of the matter is that Ozuma's sphere of influence in the castle has gotten much stronger and larger, but the Queen's hasn't just gone away in all of this. It's still there, and she's waiting, watching, preparing to make her move once again.
There is a push to begin exploring the castle once more, to take advantage of the multiple directions now in front of the heroes and cover more ground. For the first two weeks of the month the only thing anyone will have to worry about will be the presence of the shadows. However beginning on June 13th, any people in even numbers larger than two that venture beyond the safety of the cleared zones will find themselves effected by something all together new - their powers exchanged for the powers of another individual. Rin Okumura's Satanic fire and inhuman strength will suddenly belong to Maka Albarn, and in turn Rin will have the ability to see the souls inside of other individuals is one example of how this might work.
Keep in mind this is only powers, not physical traits (like Rin's tail), personality quirks or anything of that nature. The entire event is optional, of course, meaning no one has to make their characters swap powers with someone else if they don't want to. Those that do swap will be affected until the month rolls over on the 30th, and the swap will remain in affect regardless of where in the castle they are once it has occurred.
