[Event] Pumpkiller

[npcsofmana]

Who: A very big and magical Jack-O-Lantern and you
What: A giant pumpkin is trying to take over Domina... or something like that.
Where: West Domina, past the residential area
When: Day 33
Other: Likely some violence. Check the post for more info and ask any questions here.




At least, that's what the usual mail pelican is frantically squawking about on the front steps of home with her feathers going everywhere as she flaps her wings.

And.... there are some very disconcerting dark clouds gathering around Domina that haven't yet started intruding on the sky around Home. Perhaps this merits some checking out.

To those that venture forth, they'll notice that Domina is eerily quiet as they step into it from the road. Both Domina's tavern and inn seem empty, which is a strange thing in itself. Anyone who's visited the town regularly will have noticed that those two places, for good reason, are often the most lively places in town.

Just where has everyone gone....?

Aftermath

[npcsofmana]

After a while, the constant efforts of everyone seems to wear down the pumpkin. Bruised and battered and a little sliced up in some places, it practically oozes in its place as though it might turn to mush. With all the chaos, it's hard to tell who exactly gets the final strike... but the Giant Pumpkin soon starts to churn and swell...

And two bright objects shoot out from its gaping maw, heading straight for Sam Winchester and Ken Joshima. As the light eases up, it becomes clear that they're a broom and a frying pan, respectively.

With the expulsion of those two things... The giant pumpkin and all its tiny pumpkin minions begin to lose their strength. As the vegetable goliath sinks into itself, the tiny pumpkins all begin to lose their strength and light one by one, no longer moving. As for the strange pumpkins near the giant with their odd lights? They all burst, some shooting off into the sky or earth while others make their way to those who have helped with the pumpkin problem to bestow gifts or give back that which was lost.

However, they all seem to give a decent berth to the broom and the frying pan...

In only minutes, the elemental spirits are all gone, disappearing into the rest of the world. That leaves only those who have gathered around... surrounded by pumpkins.

Lots of pumpkins.

So many pumpkins.

What does everyone do now?

NPCs

[npcsofmana]

Duelle the Onion Warrior is the first to speak up, apparently not finding anything odd about what's just happened at all. "Glad that's all cleared up!" he announces, flicking his spear a few times to get rid of pumpkin goo. Hefting his weapon against his shoulder, he starts to casually head back to the path into town. It's not a fast pace, so anyone who wants to talk to him could easily catch up.

In contrast, Reverend Nouvelle can be seen running and huffing up the path to the clearing with his feathers puffed out. Coming to a stop at the edge of the clearing, he presses one taloned hand to his chest and tries to catch his breath while talking at the same time. "Oof... Those... The siblings... Ooh... I was telling Miss Kurokawa...." He trails off, still breathing heavily.

Skyfire

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

Getting his toolbox was a real surprise. It was strange to him that it would appear as it had, but he wasn't going to deny that it made things a lot easier on him to have them.

Skyfire found a space out of the way, put his toolbox within easy reach, then parked himself on the ground and tried to clean the pumpkin goo out of his feathers and hair... It's not going well, but he's too tired to try and find water that he can clean up in. The look on his face is one of clear discomfort, finding being covered in orange ick is disgusting.

Still, he's glad that at least whatever caused this seemed to be gone and he hadn't taken much damage. Though he noted that he would need to start getting metal from somewhere. Either mining it himself or finding something to do to trade for it, because he needed to eat something eventually...

Hisame

[devoursgods]

After the strange golden figure had disappeared, Hisame was left standing there in confusion and curiosity as to what had just happened. His partners on the other hand were quiet for three beats before Tatara began to bounce in excitement.

"Hisame! Hisame, it came back!"

"What did?"

Just as he turned to look at them both, there was a brief flash in his pocket where he kept his digivice stored. The screen had lit up and with it Tatara and Mao began to change. Their mochi-like forms stretched and changed until they were once again in the forms he had come to know so well during his stay in the Digital World.

Tatara was once again Hagurumon, and Mao was once again Goblimon.

"You can digivolve again?"
