Territory Update!
Aaah I'm a few days late to post this, but hello!
This is a quick heads-up regarding Dai's territory grab. For a start, the air from beyond the gate will begin to feel a lot hotter - like sitting close to a fire, it'll be a kind of clinging, unavoidable warmth. Above the clouds on clear days, the rift to the Fire Plane will be visible in the sky, like a crack in the earth. It'll be a narrow slit through which an inferno can be seen, and that means that when the sky is clear, it'll always be especially warm and bright beneath that rift. All the plants and tree life and greenery beneath the rift will begin to yellow, slightly. The grass, as well, will yellow. This will reveal the 'path' one takes through the woods to avoid all the red zones.
So those are the visual aspects!
Two of Dai's 'pets' will be stationed in the Watch Tower overlooking the area. If you pass into Dai's territory, a piercingly shrill horn will be blown, so people on both sides will be aware of any border-crossing, but there's no kind of direct deterrence or aggression, yet. There'll be a far greater density of Ogres and Prometheuses crawling the forest area, but they are all cowed easily and, inexplicably, completely non-aggressive. In many ways, this place should be even safer than any non-green zone in the city.
Regarding a ball-type event - I hope you guys would be up for a big mass open log of some type! It'll mostly be fun and games and mingling, but there'll likely be some hideous event within the thread that I need to plan up. At present I imagine Dai will act as nothing but a deterrent - but hopefully there'll be something he can do to compel people over. :') Something I'll need to think about.
That's all! Thanks guys.
