rysligparasites | Here's what happened

So what happened to your character?

They were taken by surprise by very sneaky (almost ninja-like) insect creatures, paralyzed and carried off to the sleepy town of Kulen. Why?

Congratulations! They've been invited to the party of the year!

By that, we mean that your character has been paralyzed and spirited off to Kulen by creatures they may or may not recognize as the Kulen Parasites. They're taking them to their nest so they can join in celebrating their Queen's first ever ascension day on February 22nd!

Until the party starts, they will be housed in the parasite hive and treated as honoured guests. If your character tries to leave they will be firmly and enthusiastically herded back to their temporary home.

Unfortunately, the parasites don't have a very good idea of a monster's physical limitations. During their stay, your character will be subjected to parasite art and poetry and asked to sample Human Cooking by parasites. Their interpretations of human cooking and recreation will range from nonsensical to dangerous and they will be very offended if you don't partake. They have recently discovered the art of deep frying and they're particularly proud of that.

They would also like to learn about the wonderful ways creatures like YOU choose to celebrate. If you have anything your character would try to teach the parasites (a game/dish/song/dance ect.) let us know and it just might come up later! We cannot guarantee that they will interpret it well or safely.

The parasites have been farming humans like livestock and have a pretty efficient operation going on, so your character won't have to worry about going hungry! If they need to feed, the parasites will just bring someone up from the tunnels.

Your character will be given free run of the hive during their stay and they will be released or allowed to leave by the end of the event.

How do I play my doppelganger?

The doppelganger has been sneakily observing them for quite some time now, so they’ll be able to make an earnest attempt at impersonating them. They've learned your character's mannerisms and verbal tics, but they don't really understand them.

Additionally, they will be very pleasant, obedient, inquisitive and eager to please. They're used to being part of a hive mind, so disagreements and conflict are strange and unfamiliar to them.

If anyone tries to take a blood sample, the needle will break on the doppelganger’s hard, chitinous skin.

If anyone asks them where they went when they disappeared, they will respond with, “Traffic was terrible!” No exceptions.

The doppelgangers cannot mimic monster abilities or fog forms. If anyone questions this, draw on the petty things you've seen your monster complain about and make up an excuse in the vein of “I haven't had my coffee.”

The doppelgangers have a very hard time remembering names. They have no need for individual names and now they have to learn all of these new names at once? That is just too much.

Around February 20th, your doppelganger will realize that it's time to go home or else they're going to be late for the party. They'll get more energetic and excitable and may start chattering about how IT'S TIME. The disguise may gradually ooze off around this time, exposing the parasite beneath

If someone kills or seriously injured your doppelganger, they will spray a foul smelling pheromone all over their attacker. This will mark that person as dangerous. Please comment here if it happens and identify the attacker so the rest of the dopplegangers know to avoid them. Additionally, if anyone turns up at the party after harming a doppelganger, they're getting SUPER KILLED.

Have fun! And feel free to use this post to plot out what your characters get up to in the hive.

So Reira's been here before, and she will very eagerly encourage people to play nice and 'have fun'. The bugs are cool and they're their friends, she'll say, possibly with her arm around the shoulder of her cool wendigo-parasite buddy from back in the last bug event.

One thing that also means is she'll probably actively be trying to keep anyone who'll cause trouble from...well! Causing trouble!

Also anyone who knows she can connect to the network with her mind is in for a nasty response if they tell her to send word out.

And the response is No, that will ruin their surprise, Don't be Rude >:[

Thanks for encouraging Zack to not end up like Bill.

Zack's also gonna argue with her about the network thing.

Keep doing that and she'll tell someone youre a party pooper and need a time out :[

Yuuya might take a minute to get used to this but hey, Reira's fine with it and the parasites do sure seem friendly. So... he's dealing with it surprisingly well (that and he really doesn't want to make them mad. Reira's parasite child-friend is cool though).

Wonder what these two will get up to aside from getting into trouble.

Presumably a lot of freezing time to do things so it doesn't look like Yuuya is being rude to bugs when he just can't lift as much as they can or something like that lmao
