ENDGAME Info, Part 1: Yogurt Zombies and more!

Hey everyone! Ni here.

As explained here, Star Swirl has indeed awakened, and is spreading chaos in his wake. Incidentally, he's also spreading a zombie plague! So characters throughout this first week are being exposed to the possibility of becoming yogurt zombies!

There are three stages of zombification with this particular plague, with each stage being worse than the last. Characters who become zombies can become any stage of zombie, or progress into a stronger stage of zombification, so long as they don't go backwards. The stages and symptoms are as follows:


  • Stage 1: Character starts to get very hungry, but can only think of eating dairy products. Green dots start to appear on their face and flanks, like freckles. Character is still able to speak normally and think rationally.

  • Stage 2: Character's hunger becomes more acute and more specified towards curdled dairy products. Alongside the green freckles, characters' skin starts to take a more green tone. Characters can still think rationally, but their speech is limited to the word "yogurt".

  • Stage 3: Character's hunger becomes so intense its literally the only thing they can think of, and only for yogurt. Characters look sickly alongside the green tint and freckles, and no longer can think rationally, save that they really, really want some yogurt, ya'll. They also tend to shamble and groan like the yogurt zombies that were in the Basement.


Like any good zombie plague, it can be passed through bite (though honestly, most of the yogurt zombies won't bother because your characters are very clearly not yogurt); the most likely means of catching it is through the mist in the air, or through Star Swirl blasting your characters into a Level 3 mess of Oikos-eating mostrosities. For those whose characters won't be facing Star Swirl, for whatever reason, turning them into yogurt zombies is a great way to still have them be involved in the plot - and have a little fin while you're at it!

Speaking of Star Swirl, and regarding the Part 1 log, if you have any questions, comments, or anything regarding either yogurt zombies, confronting Star Swirl, or...somehow...confronting a yogurt zombie Star Swirl, ask them here! And, GOOD LUCK with the start of Endgame!

Nephenee will be taking this route herself, trying to get him to stand down. Because that's the right thing to do! Princess of Compassion, dammit!

So have an ally for standing him down.
chatwithdeath: (So that's it...)

Well, right answer might be getting him to stop without telling him to stand down... vital magic and all, but we'll see what actually develops.

Well, I meant stand down in the sense of 'don't attack us'. Sorry, stuck in muse's military mindset.

What vital magic we talking about?

Incidentally, since Nephenee's got a thread with Shanks about this, she might have called up Naomi and seen if they could exchange notes. Wanna do that backdated or off-screen? Might help them out a lot.

No problem.

Vital Magic as in he's been studying magics they probably don't know which might help if they have to confront Calice.

Sure, that can be off-screen.

Makes sense.

Want me to make a thing on Neph's journal with them talking, or do you just want to send me a thing about what Naomi knows?
chatwithdeath: (Hmm... How did you die?)

[personal profile] chatwithdeath 2015-09-28 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Hm... sure, I'll send a PM. It isn't much, but it should be a fair amount.

Okie dokie, I'll send back what Neph finds out
