Event: The Leopard's Spots (Update #6)

With the shapeshifter captured, we have reached the home stretch! Please check out the new Part 4 starter for speaking with a very angry (but currently cooperative) cat. Time to clear up what's been going on!

Additionally, once your character has had a chance to get answers to their burning questions, please use this post for discussion of how your character(s) would like to resolve this situation. The two main questions to keep in mind are:

1. What does your character think should be done with the totem?

2. What does your character think should be done with the captured shapeshifter?


Please take your time finding out all the information you need to know in order to make those decisions. I'll keep an eye on this post and answer any logistical questions that come up. Thank you!


General Status Updates, July 25:

After the people of the Meadous have talked with Okota and the other NPCs, the general attitude of the NPCs is as follows:

1. Okota is becoming grudgingly willing to at least consider foregoing their attempt to revert their people to total savagery in favor of influencing the world in smaller ways, but they're clearly not thrilled about it and there's a clear risk that they'll go back to their old ways if left to their own devices.

2. Tawnya and Mitch are willing to take guardianship of Okota, but only if they have some way to keep a god in check. Summer is on board with a rehabilitation effort and will also assist. They acknowledge that a few of the points Okota has made about the negative effects of conformity and a move away from instinctive behavior are true, but on the whole they find her views extreme and are strongly opposed to her original plan.

3. Wyatt just wants to hide the totem, and can be persuaded to leave it in the Meadous.

4. Several players have suggested devices to help Mitch and Tawnya keep Okota in check. Currently those suggestions include a cage that can contain Okota in any form and a tracking device Okota can't remove. Each device would cost 1,000 wishing points; there will be another update on Saturday to gather points from any characters who want to contribute to one or more wishes.


The deadline for voting on solutions is Sunday, July 28, at 11:59 PST.

Update, July 29: Voting is now closed. Thank you all for your input!

1. House wants the Meadous to keep the totem so they can study it.

2. He doesn't care what happens to the shapeshifter as long as she gets shoved back in to her world.

1. Most of the NPCs except Okota are pretty okay with this idea, but at present Wyatt is very concerned the totem will be misused somehow if he leaves it with Meadous folks. No one actually has to listen to him, though, and he doesn't have a safer hiding place to suggest.

2. All the NPCs except Okota are a bit alarmed at the suggestion of just putting her back. Okota gets dramatic about how they might as well just kill her and eat her already if they're not going to give the totem back.

1. He'd tell Wyatt that there's not much that thee thing can do once Okota's cut off from it, probably. They're all human and they have their own god and bullshit magical powers to cure people if they need to.

2. House will suggest she turns into something tastier than a big cat. Make yourself a cow, Okota. He'll polish up the cleaver. House will not actually want to kill her, but he'll be dramatic right back at her.

1. Wyatt will reluctantly agree without losing his state of perpetual worriedness.

2. Okota will transform into a very dramatic little rabbit instead. Look how easy she's making it. Tasty enough for you, House?

Nope. He wants more meat than that. He's not wasting the energy on that much of a pipsqueak. He is unmoved by adorable bunny faces.

For reasons she doesn't want to explain, Okota will not turn into a cow even in the name of drama. She does, however, turn into a deer. So meaty, House. So very meaty.

House will tell her this is a load of bull and she's an udder coward. Because he clearly wants everyone to kill him for the puns.

Okota volunteers to kill House for his puns.
