Event: Worldhop #1 | Part II
Who: EVERYONE
When: Day 54, sunset
Where: all around Origin Star
At first, when all the totems have been deactivated and everyone has returned to the Aurora, it seems like the dire situation has still not been resolved. The sky is still dark, the miasma still floating through the air.
But then, after an hour or two, you hear the clear ringing of a bell-tone, as you've heard every time Origin Star's Prism has reached a new level of purification. If you happen to be on the beach, you'll see it too -- glowing a paler and brighter green and sending off waves of white light.
Out on the Final Island, another scream resounds. In the distance you see tendrils rising, massive vines lifting and curling into the air like tentacles. They grow, and grow, and grow, into monster of unimaginable size, screeching all along, the concentrated remains of Malice on this Star. They lash out, bridges across the sea coming right at all of you!
But before they reach the shore, the Prism shifts fully to white, and light explodes from it, bright and warm and full of square-shaped sparkle. The darkness in the sky recedes, and as the pink-and-golden beams of the setting sun touch the island, the monster screams one more time, and then... dissipates, leaving behind it a picturesque scenery, white stone ruins surrounded by jungle and dotted in colourful flowers.
On your island, equally wonderful things are happening. Any remaining emotional effects you may be under fade, and the monsters in the jungle transform back to their original shapes as normal flora and fauna. The jungle blooms in front of you, becoming a visual feast of flowers, birds, and butterflies, and off towards the remains of the town you hear the sounds of people.
In fact, some of those people are appearing right around the train -- showers of sparkles coalesce into the forms of living people, some with many wings and some with a deer's body. They're confused and alarmed at the moment, but alive and whole. Even the girl that was brought back from the far island is waking up, and within the magic bottle you found on the third mission, echoes of a soul can be sensed by those with the power to do so.
You receive a message on your Chain:
As of now, you may earn sparks via your new team bonds, which are displayed in the lounge with all the others. For the evening, there'll be free sweets and champagne in the lounge car. It has no special effects and is just good plain fun! You'll also hear cheerful electronic pop playing from the intercoms all over the train, because your patron is Like This.
Speaking of... after a bit, Cardamom will be hanging out in the town handing out food and supplies to the people and explaining the situation to them, if you wish to join him. You may also speak to Lily, the girl brought back from session 2. Thyme will be around as well, but he'll be busy helping the townsfolk settle, so won't have a toplevel in this post.
Additionally, after a bit, the next train upgrade suggestions gathering will appear, so make your wishes known!

You receive a message on your Chain:
☆: Hey, look at that! You did it!
☆: That's one Star down, nine or so to go!
☆: As a reward, we've programmed in a new Bond for each of your teams, so check the board in the lounge to see those. We'll also be giving you a new train car, so keep an eye out for that announcement!
☆: Unfortunately, you can't rest on your laurels too much. Take tonight to get some rest and take in the fruits of your labour, and tomorrow morning we'll head to the next location.
☆: And, to be more formal... Congratulations, Heroes of Distant Stars. Through your efforts and your bonds, you've restored love and peace to this sector of the universe. I, Cardamom, Prince of Stars, my Circle of Knights, and all the people living in this sector, thank you with all our hearts.
☆: Now, let's party!

Solar Flare: Could even make him artifical fur and everything.
Solar Flare: In theory I could help you speed up construction though it does mean doing something....weird.

Solar Flare: It's been a fun time discovering that on accident, snake game was not my first experience with cannibalism and it was terrible.
Solar Flare: But I do seem able to direct it to specific things if I'm focused on that and if you have mental barriers then it should be possible for me to just get the dollcraft information without anything else on accident.
Solar Flare: Telekinesis is a great tool for real fast construction.

Lorelei: That will not be necessary, if you can transmute the shell. It would save me time with forging and carving.
no subject
Solar Flare: Transmuting a shell should be no problem.

[she wanted to keep the body for something else, but oh well. this is fine, too.]

Though perhaps for the sake of comfort, I could use some parts of the original body. It is not for me, at any rate.
no subject
Solar Flare: How well does a doll accept a soul?
no subject
If a doll body is a piece of white, undyed fabric, and the soul is dye, it will only spread its pigment until the fabric is something new.
no subject
Solar Flare: Eliza says to talk to the Prince so I'll see what he has to say, but at least a torso is a human shape.
Solar Flare: He's a deer boy.
Solar Flare: But at least I should have the solid option before you're done with the torso for what we need to do, and you'd still be able to use it for other projects.
Solar Flare: But this means you're good with soul transference stuff too?
no subject
Lorelei: That is to say, I do have horns from elsewhere, but I would rather these be perfectly suitable.
Lorelei: A free-floating soul is easy to do. Souls need to be anchored if they are not leaving the Coil.
no subject
Solar Flare: I think he was trapped there for a while.
Solare Flare: Which just makes me want to buck Lily's father because what even was he doing.
Solar Flare: But I thought he was gone before, I think he's trying to stick around.
