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.

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!!
no subject
but she is also free to kick back for a bit and complain about the situation tbh
no subject
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)
no subject
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
no subject
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
no subject
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
no subject
(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)
no subject
oh no i'm crying i just read that comment to the mods this will be GREAT
no subject
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
no subject
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"

aka gently bugs for neg cr hi yaywon!!
no subject
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
no subject
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
no subject
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 ;)
no subject
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
no subject
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
no subject
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!!)
no subject
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

OKAY I'LL BE ON THE LOOK-OUT FOR YOUR STUFF!! finger guns

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...
no subject
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...
no subject
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!
no subject
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"
no subject
AND JESUS i want this... i want this...
