Weeper: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:57, 4 April 2024

Weepers are a known phenomena of the Weeping Hollow, though some think of them as actual creatures. They are invisible and manifest when an individual with especially repressed memories and emotions passes through the valley.

A weeper will sometimes attach itself to a traveler passing through the Hollow, following the individual wherever they go. The weeper causes the individual to be burdened by the repressed emotions it manifested from - the memories will invade their mind in various ways, both in dreams and waking thought.

Once a weeper has attached itself to an individual, the intrusive memories and emotions will persist as long the individual actively resists them. When the experience is properly processed, the weeper is said to disappear.

-As travelers move through the hollow a weeper will sometimes attach itself to them, following the individual wherever they go. The weeper causes the individual to be smothered by the repressed emotions it manifested from as the memories invade their dreams in fragments and broken whispers play at the edge of their senses at all hours of the day and night.

-Some who have a weeper attached will return to the valley to try to rid themselves of it through repression but run the risk of having a weeper with even worse memories or emotions take its place.
-Once a weeper has attached to an individual the memories and emotions persist indefinitely so long as the individual actively resists them. Those who take the time to experience and process the emotions and memories tend to find the weeper's presence lessen and, eventually, disappear entirely. A few citizens in Nodd specialize in guiding other citizens through this experience to better enable them to rid themselves of particularly clingy weepers.
