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

Now is the time to make or break alliances. Hopefully you'll choose wisely. Do you work with the Killjoys to save the heir, organize mercenaries to kill the welp(s), or use this distraction to start setting your own political traps on the field?


The Company

Company Enforcers are having quite a hectic week. Some may have the ignoble task of staking criminals in the rain, while others get to conduct the genetic ID verification checks - either in between rainfalls or while they're holing up during. Some may be sent to Eulogy with a fabricated criminal history to try to barter back the claimant papers, others sent to Leith to investigate the True Leithian leaders responsible for the attack, and still others to track down the actual thieves.


Leithians

Running a secret Jakk production facility in the woods near your farm? Has someone offered you some extra work 'off the books' if you outstay your visa? Are you a Killjoy out to apprehend one of the first, or a Company Enforcer there to punish them?


True Leithians

The True Leithians had a truly nefarious plot - ingenious in its simplicity to their eyes. Go to Westerley, break into the Family Registry Bureau, and steal the records of those eligible to claim lands on Leith. What they didn't anticipate was the Black Rain lasting for so long, how to get off moon without being caught by the tenacious Company, or in some cases... how to make it back to their ship with angry Westies at their heels. Help them for a tidy sum of joy or hang them?


Westies

Sinew to bone - bodies staked in the rain are dissolved to nothing within a few short hours. Momentary exposure is still enough to provide one with deep chemical burns. Wherever you are on Westerley - Old Town, Eulogy, a fortified safehouse in the Badlands - expect to be stuck there for the duration. Unless, of course, you're one of the few that have access to the underground tunnels in Old Town.

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

You're all rebels... let's find ways to rebel. The bunker hasn't been used in generations. There's scarcely more than enough food to last a week and medical supplies are all but nonexistent. You have a place to grow your resistance, but you'll need to put in a lot of elbow grease to give it a fighting shot.


The RAC

Busy season for Killjoys! Here are some of the potential warrants that can be taken from the prompts, but feel free to add in your own (level 3 and below).


LevelPrompt
1Recover stolen claimant papers. Intel may indicate Eulogy.
2Transporting people through the Black Rains via the undercity.
3Individuals caught forging their genetic identity to circumvent their visas on Leith will have automatic live arrest warrants.
4Members 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

This is a competitive warrant open to all killjoy teams or individuals ranked level 4 or higher. Teams do not have to be permanent, they can be formed purely for the pursuit of this warrant and dissolved thereafter. To sign your team up for this assignment, please reply to this top comment with the names of your team members.

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
If the heir is successfully delivered to Qresh in time, the Nine will remain whole and relative stability will continue in the Quad. Lady Derrish will make a slow recovery and an investigation into her poisoning will begin. The investigation will turn its eyes first to the other members of the Nine, but soon spread into Leith and Westerley, becoming the focus for this faction in Chapter 2.

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
If the heir is not successfully delivered to Qresh in time, the Nine will be temporarily broken and Chapter 2 will open with a Quad-wide lockdown on all travel. Characters will be grounded in whatever location they ended Chapter 1 in for at least three game days. Following that, the Nine will announce that Lady Derrish has been successfully saved by the top medical doctors on Qresh and name her assailants.

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.

Character: Itsuki Kagami
Location: Westerley!!! Old Town!! WHY IS THERE ACID RAIN!!
Primary Faction Goals: INFORMATION BROKER TIME: Itsuki will be as confused as the rest as to where the surrogate and the heir are, but he'll definitely have been keeping an ear out, so he could possibly tell people of all the places the surrogate + heir AREN'T at. He also knows about the underground tunnels, so he could very well pass that information on to people who are interested! (less so for company enforcers though, unless they prove their good intentions.... maybe itsuki can like overlook the... tying people to stakes thing sweats. or maybe he can send them on a goose chase in attempt to see them get killed!!! )

He'll also definitely have helped spread the word about the Family Registry Bureau being blown to bits, and could tell anyone who's interested about the details (that someone shouted FOR LEITH, that gunfire was involved, that now everyone's hyped for NEW GENETIC IDENTITIES)

ALSO IN TURN, i'm definitely interested in Itsuki getting information FROM people as well and they're totally welcome to charge him!! OTHERWISE, his only real goal will be making money and keeping tabs on everything going on with the surrogate and heir
Secondary Faction Goals: being sketchy means inevitably being involved in sketchy things, so!! Itsuki might help True Leithians in exchange for JOY because MONEY, but he might also totally betray them to angry Westies or Company enforcers/killjoys too. so if u want to wrangle low-ranking True Leithian nationalist members then maybe we could play something out!!

overall, I don't have any real preference for how the outcome turns out! Itsuki would icly prefer the heir surviving since that would be MUCH better for his drug trade but who cares what itsuki wants tbh
Desired CR: do u need sketchy information brokering, itsuki is ur man. if the end goal is finding out the real location of the surrogate + heir, then we can hash something out after i ask the mods the feasible length of time Itsuki would find out!!
-- anyone who'll know things that Itsuki can buy off of
-- fellow westies shrieking about the rain who Itsuki can be sympathetic to and tell them about the tunnels
-- people who need reasons to go after low-level true leithian underlings!!!
-- basically anyone itsuki can kick back with and drink and complain about the Situation
-- if we have preestablished cr then itsuki is definitely gonna check if U R STILL ALIVE
-- cute girls i guess sweats
Anything else? IM SURE I HAVE MORE but that's all i can think of atm, i will hit plotting posts up in return!!

[personal profile] valr 2016-12-11 11:44 am (UTC)(link)
heyo Kara is definitely gonna want that info on the true leithians and will pay for it if she has to

but she is also free to kick back for a bit and complain about the situation tbh
nightchild: (KAWINK)

[personal profile] nightchild 2016-12-11 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
SPREADS ARMS WIDE FOR KARA for her itsuki will tell her anything!! puts itsuki underground... aka IM LAUGHING she will for sure not have to pay for anything honestly. ugh she's pretty so, it's time for itsuki to give her a discount + hit on her

I looked over your plotting thread and saw the info-trading bit so we could totally do an inbox thread where they exchange info + ITSUKI HITS ON KARA + ASKS HER OUT FOR A DRINK and then complains 5ever!! that or i can hit u up on the log instead. (I still haven't figured out if I'll toplevel, but I should find out soon after getting everything in order)
valr: (like a monster)

[personal profile] valr 2016-12-11 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
being hit on seems like a fair trade for getting to murder a dude tbh

wweeeee could blend the two - start with an inbox thread and move the actual drinks to a log, since Kara would want to know those details in person + the drinks could be the price for the info :la
nightchild: (it's time)

[personal profile] nightchild 2016-12-11 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
praise kara for the sacrifices she makes

that def works for me!! i put up itsuki's inbox post finally so u can hit me up anytime OR i could have itsuki hit kara up instead (handwaving that he heard that she needed to talk to?? an info broker???) if ur busy atm!! IM FINE WITH EITHER
valr: (cutting your hair)

[personal profile] valr 2016-12-11 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
takes one for the team tbh

i'm cool to hit you up! i figure it makes sense for them to have some past cr and to know each other vaguely, so kara could definitely ask him if he has any info on the true leithians
nightchild: (it's time)

[personal profile] nightchild 2016-12-12 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
i'm definitely good with them having past cr!! itsuki's history of trying to score a date with kara and getting rejected erry time

(i just asked the mods about the info he would have so it might come down to a either kara finding someone low-ranking or getting info about a higher-up and having to either FIGHT JACK OR KANDA FOR IT or collaborate with them HAHA i will let u know for sure tho)
valr: (to your own devices)

[personal profile] valr 2016-12-12 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
maybe she'll cave eventually (unlikely tbh)

oh no i'm crying i just read that comment to the mods this will be GREAT
nightchild: (it's time)

[personal profile] nightchild 2016-12-12 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
no don't cave KARA CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER

OKAY SO the mods basically said that itsuki will at the most get three low-level grunts, but they said that grabbing the grunts could potentially lead to getting a higher-ranked member/general hiding out on Leith if everyone/the majority collaborates. basically this

BASICALLY KARA IS DEFINITELY GETTING A TRUE LEITHIAN EITHER WAY
valr: (a fugitive driving away from)

[personal profile] valr 2016-12-12 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
in another game she was sleeping with jesse pinkman so like

her standards aren't amazing

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL

kanda and kara have worked together before but throwing jack into the mix will be hilarious

she's gonna come to itsuki later like "u fucking shithead"

would itsuki like to tell the world koon is of derrish blood so he gets a bunch of dudes chasing him while he's trying to do his warrant in peace




aka gently bugs for neg cr hi yaywon!!
nightchild: (im laughing but also crying inside prob)

[personal profile] nightchild 2016-12-11 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
SDLKFJDS im screaming and laughing at the same time THAT WOULD BE TERRIBLE let's do it

itsuki could totally tell random killjoys/mercs that koon is of derrish blood LMFAO... esp if they seem extra bloodthirsty, since clearly koon would be able to handle it and that poor surrogate mother!!! she's just a lady!! she needs less creeps after her!!

then koon can come back and go ITSUKI U FCKER and beat him up
deceptions: (Default)

[personal profile] deceptions 2016-12-13 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
real canon quotes

LMFAO YES PLEASE i'd love this a lot, esp if they have neg ish cr koon would probably .... actually go after him

but if it's more like their entire cr is trying to rile each other up maybe this will not end in a complete disaster idk

HELLO MR INFO BROKER

Takasugi would absolutely be pursuing any tips about the heir, so gathering info as to where the baby is NOT would be very helpful! His intentions are to kill the baby, but he'll be keeping that to himself hs;uajks

He'd probably be willing to sell other information in return for that stuff ^, so what is it that Itsuki would consider an appropriate trade? Joy is also always an option ahha

Also tell me more about this drug trade because Takasugi dabbles in it too maybe we can work something out ;)
nightchild: (KAWINK)

[personal profile] nightchild 2016-12-12 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
OOH MR TAKASUGI OOH

lskjfSLDF TAKASUGI?? but yes itsuki can totally tell him what he knows since he doesn't know he's aiding takasugi's disney villain intentions with the baby smh

HMMM i feel like itsuki would just ask for the standard joy U GOTTA HAVE MONEY tho he might also ask for updates on the locations that haven't been confirmed yet (if takasugi makes it clear that he's going to head to those places slkdjfsd) if takasugi's willing to spill??? otherwise joy. joy is good

YES PLEASE im so excited to get any drug trade cr... that sounds terrible HAHA basically itsuki's a dealer primarily in his own made-up drug aka Norn (i have more info on it over here) but a summary would be like jakk but less potent in effects and side-effects and also cheaper. (and only around in old town/tunnels/utopia). ultimately the drug is really just a way for me to play around with Itsuki's dream-giving ability, but we can totally have drug shenanigans... it's a small business so he's always looking for influential/charismatic ppl who can help him spread it around!! the only thing is that he operates under another identity when he's selling/doing drug stuff, so we could thread to a point where takasugi connects the dots!!

and he could like totally hold that information over itsuki in the future maybe

DISNEY VILLAIN HEUEUEUEUEU

Takasugi can pay a Joy fee, and will give Itsuki a few updates on where the kid isn't, since he'll have his own feelers out just to round out the deal - though he'll probably be pretty general about it, since he'd rather avoid Killjoy interaction (not gonna work buddy)

IM HERE FOR UR DRUGS..!! Takasugi occasionally indulges in opiates himself, and smokes them, but he's got his own stash from back home (Leith, he assumes). Which isn't to say he wouldn't try this stuff personally, but more-so than that he'd be interested in spreading the market and splitting the profits.

He has a pretty good presence with both Leithan and Westie artsy crowds, so he can totally get it out there. If you'd like, we can assume some pre-established CR to this effect, and just have them keep in contact (with their pseudonyms ofc) about how the whole thing is going

BLACKMAIL? DONT MIND IF HE DOES
nightchild: (i swear this was a cute cg)

[personal profile] nightchild 2016-12-13 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
COOL GENERAL INFO'S FINE!!! i'm just imagining itsuki going 'what a good guy that takasugi, paying instead of beating me up!!" no itsuki

omg that sounds great though LMFAO being casual drug friends but not realizing at first since thEY JUST USE PSEUDONYMS

I CAN'T WAIT THOUGH OMG im excited for drug shenanigans... as soon as things cool down (BABY WISE!!!) we should do a drug thing (I can totally hit u up with an info starter if ur topleveling in the event log too!! otherwise i should throw up a toplevel relatively soon!!)
shikomizue: (pic#10797497)

[personal profile] shikomizue 2016-12-14 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Should I just hit your inbox with a network feeler for info then :DDD? Or would you rather thread it out?

LOL WHAT A GOOD GUY. V TRUSTWORTHY. SLDK:Jgklsejta

Drug things will be very fun I love playing with that element of Takasugi GUILTY PLEASURE kljs;flfaf I'll have Eulogy top level, and a Hotel top level ;u;7

HI YAYWON WE MEET AGAIN

leo is an information broker in leith, but he's actually a westie!! would you like them to be acquainted with each other and like... if one of them doesn't know any info, they can refer their client to the other? and they can cry about the acid rain together because leo would hate anyone's suffering askdlgjg cries gently...
nightchild: (blushu)

[personal profile] nightchild 2016-12-12 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
SWEEPS U UP!! MONICA!!! im so glad i still get to play with leo... even if lenalee is vastly superior to itsuki in every way LMFAO

i love this idea though omg yes. they should definitely be broker buddies, just casually going "MMM I HAVE NO IDEA, GO ASK LEO HE SHOULD KNOW!!" and leo staring at the camera like he's at the office HAHA

omg no leo don't cry... they should definitely commiserate over the black rain though. is leo going to get stuck in westerley and experience the Black Rain or will he be safe in leith...

EMBRACES YOU ahhh!!! it's okay... at least leo won't get slapped this time because he WILL NOT BE TAKING ITSUKI TO A BROTHEL TYVM

but yes!! they can be broker buddies... and yes, he will be safe in leith! but he'd have gotten a heads up from riza regarding the acid rain so he may have informed itsuki of that. what he'll do with it is up to him!

LMFAO LEO look he's free too itsuki is totally legal this time. though now i feel like itsuki would totally take leo to a red-light district this is terrible

omg get ready for lots of bored texts from itsuki since he'll be stuck indoors leo... "THE WEATHER'S SHITTY, I CAN'T GO OUTDOORS OR I'LL DIE!! I HAD A DATE PLANNED THIS WEEKEND!! THIS SUCKS!!! btw how's leith"
