Opening Event Plotting Meme!
Today is the day!
The Quad welcomes you, so time to let you all loose to wreak bloody havoc upon the unsuspecting masses.
Chapter 1 Event Log is up for your review, with each of the faction prompts set as a top-level. Please feel free to post threads either under each top-level or create your own logs for the event - whichever works best for you.
To help you get started, here are some potential quick notes for things you could do with these prompts--but feel free to expand or come up with something entirely on your own!
Prompt Notes
The Nine
The Company
Leithians
True Leithians
Westies
Those caught in space or elsewhere in the Quad cannot access Old Town until the storms subside - any attempts to approach even the outer edges of the stormfront will result in significant damage to the vessel, either through electrical interference or chemical damages to the outer hull.
But for those whose dealings are less than legal, now is a time of profit. Some want to sell (or bet against) claimant papers in Eulogy. Others just want to find a buyer to get the things out of their hands. Either way comes at a great cost - especially if a Killjoy or Enforcer gets to you first.
For the Westie natives, however, there's another problem. Someone tried to steal your meal ticket off this toxic moon. Maybe you should think on getting it back...or do you trust the system to do the work for you?
Resistance
The RAC
Level | Prompt |
1 | Recover stolen claimant papers. Intel may indicate Eulogy. |
2 | Transporting people through the Black Rains via the undercity. |
3 | Individuals caught forging their genetic identity to circumvent their visas on Leith will have automatic live arrest warrants. |
4 | Members of nationalist group suspected of planning the attack on the FRB. Hunt down leaders responsible and return to the Company. This is a live or dead warrant. |
Major Plot Points
Black Warrant
Should the result of player plotting be that the black warrant is completed, the team responsible will be decided via RNG.
Fate of the Heir
The fate of the heir will have significant effects on the unfolding story. For transparency's sake, please review each result below before beginning your planning:
Scenario: Success |
Land Derrish will reward the individuals responsible for returning its heir with a hefty sum of joy and docking privileges on their private lands in Qresh. The organization those individuals belong to will in turn see a blind eye turned to their more illicit affairs for a while and a few political favors thrown their way, tipping the balance of power ever so slightly. |
Scenario: Failure |
The Resistance. Westerlerns will take the fall for her poisoning, the results of which will be a brutal increase in security measures and moon-wide totalitarian rule. Travel to and from Westerley will become extremely limited as the Nine seek out members of the Resistance. Neighbors will turn on neighbors and anyone with known Resistance leanings will be forced to go deep underground. |
We encourage everyone to engage in cooperative OOC plotting to come to a consensus on what exactly the outcome will be. While we understand that every character involved in this plot will have their own agenda, we wish to foster an environment in Overjoyed where players can all plot together to reach developments that are satisfying to everyone - whether their characters 'win' or 'lose'.
The mods will keep an eye on the pace of the plotting on the meme, and once it slows significantly, or after 5 days - whichever comes first - a post will be made for all players to respond with their desired outcomes. In this case, majority rules, so it benefits everyone to cooperate and compromise rather than try to approach things independently.
Doing things this way is very much a trial, and we will be open to feedback and change should this method prove too difficult, too frustrating, or ineffective.

Black Warrant Mass Plotting
True Leithian Man Hunt
no subject
Location: All of them!
Primary Faction Goals: He'll be a team lead for one of the teams going after the black warrant (current partner is Lavi, but we're both open to having others join their team!). He'll also work on chasing a few of the other warrants on Westerley and Leith.
I'm game for teaming up to look for the true leithian leaders or chasing down visa jumpers on Leith as well.
Some things I'd like to do with him is to chase a warrant to Eulogy - maybe as hired muscle for an enforcer tracking down the claimant papers? - and either escorting people through the tunnels or possibly running into resistance peoples while using the tunnels to travel during the rains? He could help them or find himself at a crossed-purpose... I'M GAME FOR IT ALL!
Secondary Faction Goals: He has no secondary faction at this time - he does hate the Company though, so it's possible that he'd help non-company people with the right motivation.
Desired CR: Is ALL OF IT too broad?
No, but really. I'd love for him to meet people that challenge his very narrow view of the worlds, of humanity in general. He's pretty antagonistic, so I'd imagine setting that kind of CR would be easy with this jerk. He's been in the 'verse for three years, so if anyone wants to hash out pre-game CR, I'm still game for that too - maybe friendly...ish... competition with other killoys or something?
Anything else?
Sadly, he doesn't remember he actually fights with his sword, or else this would all be so much easier...
no subject
But if you wanna keep to the thread we have for now that's fine too! I imagine some conflict will arise between Takasugi and the Killjoys in general as the heir stuff reaches a climax, so we might end up with a thread out of that, too!

Win/Win

pay him off with tips about the baby that's all he wants :Dc
no subject
Kanda doesn't give a fuck about the brat... after he finds it to get the warrant.
no subject
That's plan B
Wanna get in on it? Are you THAT dastardly, Kanda?
no subject
If he's even the one that gets to find the surrogate. Lots of good teams on this one...
no subject
What sort of compensation would Kanda take for a job like that? V DANGEROUS V RISKY
no subject
I'll have to think on that one for a bit. BUT I'M SURE WE CAN FIGURE SOMETHING OUT.

is it bad that when i thought of pre-game cr i thought of itsuki hitting on kanda bc he's ~beautiful~ and getting beaten up in return LMFAO WHICH I AM DOWN FOR honestly. itsuki doesn't really hate people (besides the rich and elite and privileged), even if he does lose his temper a lot, so he'd probably think of kanda as lavi's extremely pretty and angry partner who beat him up once!!
he could have given kanda info about various misc warrants too if kanda ever needed info beyond his warrant broker!! and kanda could have punched him instead of paying or something. I'M SURE I'LL THINK OF MORE I do want to involve Itsuki in the True Leithian plot, in that he'll eventually have information about where some of them are (because he's trying to help them escape in exchange for cash smh) and he could easily be convinced to hand that info over!! since... it's kanda??? kanda's intimidating as hell?? and plus itsuki doesn't even like true leithians anyway smh
no subject
LMFAO. He's perfect, and it'd be hilarious to have him hit on Kanda - who would totally punch his lights out once he realized what Itsuki meant. He would probably leave it at Itsuki being down for the count though and not a bloody pulp since he's not actually in the habit of beating weaker people to a bloody pulp
beansprouts don't count, but it would definitely set an ANNOYING trend for all future dealings, y/y?Bonus points if he continues the damnable flirting every time he and Lavi show up to get info.
Kanda will probably be a part of the team that's going to go after the true leithian leaders, so he'll probably leave the other losers long enough to find Itsuki and get the info. SO MUCH PLOTTING, I forget... is he going to be based out of the Leith Bazaar, or on Westerley?
no subject
YES THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME he'll be on westerley!! (thank god for kanda tbh that he doesn't have to see this guy in leith eVERY DAY) i plotted with ari and we figured that lavi would hit isuki up for info when he's on westerley so kanda COULD BE THERE TOO!!
no subject
What would you say to two threads? One with Kanda and Lavi to share misinformation about the heirs and one about the True Leithian attack, since Kanda's going to be involved on that investigation...
no subject
itsuki will immediately prove his worth by giving him good stuff on the true leithians tho!! HE'LL BE HELPFUl!!
