Possession Plot Sign Ups!

[centralfiction]

Hi, Hello, it's me I'm Bon. And I am here to cause problems on purpose.

Okay but anyway, context:

For the past ten years or so Ragna's been possessed by a very powerful Onryo, whose name was revealed to be Aoko Juusan through the Black Order's files. She caused him trouble, despising when anyone got close to him throughout this time because his price is full control over his power of the Azure (think, primordial chaos, shadow magic on bath salts). Since learning people would bother to remember her and even make a memorial for her, she was calm for a little while even after Ragna formed a pact with Venti.

Venti is starting to dive into dodgy territory to figure out how to get a back door into spirit realms of the possessed safely. Demon's are gonna start coming after his ass. And Aoko's gonna get mad at Venti for putting Ragna in danger.

Meanwhile throughout January and February, Aoko has been getting more and more paranoid about things that will hurt Ragna or destroy her memorial and it won't be long until everything is perceived a threat again and she'll pull the big guns out of Ragna by force: Activating the Azure Grimoire and pulling him away.

The Azure Grimoire, or the BlazBlue (THAT'S THE TITLE OF THE GAME O: !!) has a troublesome little trait in that it drains the souls and lifeforce of anyone and anything near it for too long, and that effect will bleed out from the Spirit Realm they'll be in. To prevent unauthorized people from getting close and to monitor how it's affecting Venti's spirit realm, an Observation team will need to be posted outside as well. Not to mention, the infiltration team may need back up.

As for said Infiltration team, your goal is two-fold: Defeat Aoko and Preserve the Central Fiction. Images of Ragna will be seen throughout that you have to essentially "play a script" to prevent the images from dying which will reset you and make the encounters harder (this one's for my buds who aren't fighters/don't like doing fight threads). At the end, you'll need to find and defeat Aoko, and to do this you're gonna need to get rid of the BlazBlue aka Ragna's whole ass right arm. From there, you may weaken her enough to the point her spirit can finally move onto the next life.


Because of Ragna's both canon and AU stories as well as the fact that some of Aoko's memories will be mixed in as well, this log may turn quite heavy. Potential CW's are the following:

• Death (of Children and Adults), Blood, Gore
• Distortions in Reality (like active Gaslighting)
• Body Horror (Degradation)
• Slow Air Poisoning
• Krusnik and all that that implies (Human experimentation, torture, medical facilities, etc.)

If you remember ol' Takame-kun's Persona log from a while back, it'll be structured similarly: Combat heavy with ways around if you'd prefer not to engage in a fight thread besides the last one, the aforementioned images.

He is from a fighting game, though, so it's highly advised to go the fight routes. We'll use the standard Kaisou dice system for them!
