The Aftermath
Solo or RP Format
Counts as 5 RP growth Points
Solo word minimum is 750, RP post minimum is 7
After the Aishan trees had suddenly and furiously bloomed, pollen had started to fall from the sky in never before seen quantities. The sun seemed choked by its presence and the breeze currents seemed to carry it across all of Tendaji.
Curiously enough, the impact of the pollen could be seen in earthlings...
Random earthlings across Tendaji saw cracks and fissures in their skin, shedding as if they had a sunburn. New skin tones shone through from underneath. Almost as if by magic new eye colors and crystal colors emerged with a night's rest. Earthlings changed overnight without regard to their family lineage. Brothers and sisters now sported new colors; mothers and daughters that once looked like spitting images captured the eyes of many with their sudden differences.
What could be made of these changes? The world was in upset, some overjoyed and thrilled at the new colors, others in despair as their self views shifted beneath their feet.
[ Earthlings (and those with earthling blood) have started to suddenly change colors! What does your character make of the changes? Did they change too, or do they just witness the new looks of someone close? Are they fascinated in this sudden new change, or are they in the throws of woe? Let us know how your character handles the change in the world! ]
Color Change Instructions
|| Either at the very beginning of the WE or at the very end, the owner(s) should create a post dedicated to the new colors chosen if they choose to update their palette.
|| Owners do not have to change all of the character's colors, they can opt to change just one, a few, or all.
|| Owners should specifically post which new swatch they would like (no CC, this event is for owners who specifically want new colors for their characters).
|| Characters can only choose new swatches in the race that is already established. (A hybrid with fire skin can ONLY choose fire skin, just a new shade. A hybrid with leaf crystals can ONLY choose leaf crystals, etc.)
|| Aishan hybrids that have earthling colored skin can choose to update their skin tone and the staff will decide whether their fade needs to be updated as well (if applicable). We will pick the fade color best suited to the character, owners only have to pick the base skin tone.
|| ONLY earthling colors can be updated. Aishan and Kahikinan colors are not affected by this event.
|| All updates will be made during the next growth of the character!
|| Characters can update their swatches individually of their families (colors chosen will not affect any other character in the shop).
|| Any breeding moving forward will use these new colors (consider these new swatches new genetics).
|| If you have any questions feel free to reach out to the mule, Ely, or Kana and we can help with anything individual that hasn't been addressed here!

[No changes for Linnea] Linnea had been training the poscuta to fetch when she spotted her brother coming across the yard. This weird pollen stuff had been floating around for days, and while she didn't like it hadn't bothered her really to badly. The poscuta had been a little cranky, but sometimes she wondered if they were always cranky. Especially Rawn since he was the oldest! She was curious to see what Layn thought of the weirdness, so she dropped some treats for the three poscuta and instead wandered over to her brother. He looked a little weird when she got closer, like he'd roasted in the sun too long. He wasn't as dark as mama was, but definitely darker than she and papa now! "Hey!! Where'd you sleep to get so roasted, Layn?" She teased, bumping into him with her full weight as she got close.

[Layn will now have █████ skin.] "I didn't," he said with a wide yawn. Layn rocked back and forth to regain his balance, the side Linnea had bumped twinging a little. It reminded him of last night when his skin had itched so much he thought it would fall off. Maybe it had. "I was up all night scratching. I mean, I fell asleep at some time along the way, but when I woke up I was just like this. Did anything else change?" He leaned in, looking into her eyes. Linnea looked the same to him.

Linnea leaned in close, staring her brother down as she inspected him for any sudden change or new appendages growing. She stared for a solid minute unblinking until she leaned back and shook her head, tapping him on the arm.
"Nope! Looks like just your weird sunburn! Scratching all night sounds reeeeally uncomfortable though. Maybe you're allergic to this stuff in the air?" Linnea suggested, dusting some of it off of the two of them. "Or maybe you're just turning more like mama?"Either way she wasn't itchy, so definitely just a Layn issue. "Should we get help?" The last thing she wanted was for Layn to be not feeling well. She had to have her brother around!

"Yeah." He didn't really know what an allergy was like, but what he was feeling could have been compared to a sneeze on his skin, so it was probably similar. "But I don't think I need help, just a bath or something. Not now though." Now he wanted to figure out what was going on. "Maybe if we find the tree it's coming from, we can take all the pollen and make potions that change everybody purple!"He only let that sit for a second before asking, "You really think I look more like mama?" Not that he would mind looking like papa too, but Layn couldn't imagine a world where he ever grew that tall.

"Mmmmm, yep!" Linnea nodded, standing proudly with her hands on her hips. "Because obviously I look like papa! So it makes sense that you look like mama. Now even more! If we find the tree we could maybe bully it to tell us its secrets." She could send the poscuta army after the tree, definitely tell it not to bully her brother. No one bullied him! It wasn't allowed! She tilted her head at Layn, licking her thumb before sticking it to his forehead and trying to scrub off the color. "Nope, still there!"

Layn squinted at her hair and eyes as if he had never seen them before, pressing his lips together in a performative display of deep thought. He tapped his chin like he was digging for some profound truth, then chirped, "You do! It's pretty cool."He rubbed his hands together as Linnea scrubbed, examining his skin's new hue. "And so's this." Layn held them up. He had been a little, tiny bit wary of changing colors overnight, but his sister's approval made everything better. "So, should we look for the tree now, or some other time?" He wiped at his forehead in case she left any spit.

"Where do you think we'd find the tree? Do you think Rawn would like to go see it? Or maybe I can take Princess Bubbles? They'd get to see how cool her cape is then," Linnea wondered aloud, holding her arm up to Layn's again before nodding in approval. Whatever they did she thought it was important to make sure they were prepared! "So if we're going to the tree we should get some travel things! Like sticks and stuff. To build shelter and adventure." Obviously this was the most logical step.

"Yeah! We need snacks and definitely the sticks to fight with, in case bad things happen." Layn wasn't clear on what those 'bad things' were, but he knew all about Mama and Papa's weapons and had concluded that even if he didn't know everything about the bad things, they were still there and they still needed to be hit. "But also to build with." He nodded. Obviously. They would need a place to stay. "Rawn and Princess Bubbles should both come! We can bring the cart. I think it's proooobably north?"

Linnea nodded, determined to keep her brother safe with her plan of tree bullying. No one messed with Layn after all, especially not some silly tree meant for tall ladies like mama had said. Linnea grabbed Layn's hand and pulled him along, searching for the aforementioned animals as they went. "We gotta get them both into the cart if we're going to take them! They can both see the world with us on the adventure. I'm sure mama and papa won't mind too much as long as we're safe. And Rawn can help be a guard!" The old poscuta was definitely a seasoned adventurer. He'd been on so many journeys with papa after all! "Is there anything else you want to bring? Some of your explodey bottles or something? Or a knife from mama?"

Layn's lips made a little 'o' at the mention of mama's knives, but after considering it for all of a second, he decided he shouldn't be interested. He was going to be good. "I can get some of my bottles, yeah. The knives kinda scare me a little," he admitted, "But everything else sounds good! Bottles, Bubbles, Rawn. I'll grab my stuff and the cart and some food. And you can get everyone else!" They could probably find sticks on the way, but maybe he would bring a couple of those too.

Linnea clapped her hands together and then wandered to quickly wrangle up her pets, hands full of them as she continued to go look for more. Their first adventure would be so very exciting! All on their own! She was positive her brother was the best at planning and would get them super tasty food. "Princess Bubbles and Rawn are here! Also me!" Linnea called, laughing as Rawn squirmed his tiny little legs in her arms and she tried to calm him. "Let our adventure begin, Layn! Surely mama and papa will support our goal!"

He hurried to grab the little pouch where he stored the most exciting of his bottles, then swung past the kitchen to get some bread and juice. Layn smiled when he heard his sister's announcement, and he was about to head back outside when he had a thought that stopped him in his tracks. Hm. What if they did need a knife? Maybe he should grab one, just in case. He doubted he could get one of mama's fancy ones before her super sneak senses alerted her to what he was up to, so he would have to make do with something from in here. Their parents did a good job of storing this kind of stuff out of the way and they had been told not to play with them, but this wouldn't be playing. It would be self-defense. He had been tall enough to see into the drawers without standing on a chair for a while now, so he didn't even look suspicious as he pulled open the one with the knives and peered inside. There was one for meat and one for bigger meat, a bunch for spreading things on bread and a couple that looked more like cleavers than knives. He and Linnea were small. Surely, they would only need a small one? Layn stuck his hand waaaaay into the back where he had seen a couple of littler knives that he'd imagined would be good for throwing. There! He closed his hand, and for a moment he thought he had grabbed nothing until he felt a sharp pain across his palm. When he brought his hand back out, he had indeed grabbed the knife he was aiming for, but he had also cut himself with it. But that wasn't going to stop him! Layn wiped the knife on his pants and pushed his palm into the fabric, hoping it would stop the bleeding. He rejoined Linnea with a grin and a bounce in his step. "I've got everything! Let's go."

Linnea bounced more upon Layn's arrival, frowning when she noticed the odd press of his hand against his pants. She grabbed hold of the knife and held it up to inspect it, nodding approvingly before sticking it gently into a patch. It'd definitely be safe there! "Did something happen inside?" Maybe he'd been bullied by one of the animals running around? Or maybe his condition was getting a lot worse and he was going to sprout another hand!! That would be the scariest thing, she thought. Or maybe it'd be cool? One more hand to do nifty tasks with.
"Why is your hand like that?"

He almost said it was nothing just so they could get going, but the cut was kind of throbbing a bit and he was a little worried. If they ended up doing anything muddy or even touching the tree once they found it, his palm would probably hurt even more. Layn sighed. "I cut it." He held up his hand. "We should still go though!"
