Chapter 2 OOC Information + Plotting

Chapter 2 Launch



Chapter 2 Event Log is up for your review. Please feel free to post there or your own logs for the event - whichever works best for you.

Chapter 2 Calendar / Timeline is available here for the expected timeline of the month.

Note that for the public broadcasts (noted in the above timeline), we'll be putting up the new posts as they get closer to real-time. As such, the first broadcast is available here.

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

Delle Seyah Kendry has requested the RAC conduct an 'impartial' investigation to determine who is behind the attack on Land Derrish - after, of course, planting a difficult to find and subtle trail leading those investigators directly to her enemy's doorstep. Which team, or teams, is going to have the dubious honor of giving the Lady what she wants?

Other members of the Nine have also decided that they need their own verification, so this is an opportunity for characters that are members of the Nine to step in and either help or hinder Land Kendry's ambitions.


The Company

Mid-to-Upper level Company officials will be tasked with the duty to either clean house (someone had to have given information to the True Leithians for them to strike and acquire all those papers so quickly), assess loyalties within, or attempt to maintain order during Harvest week. The question through it all is, for you Company gals and guys, will you be the one interrogated - or the interrogator?

Maybe even both?

After the pandemic starts on Leith, however, priorities will shift a bit. Some will be needed to provide security around the quarantine zones while others will be needed to guard the medical teams as they struggle with a rapidly declining population across not just one moon, but two.


Westies

Party like it's 1999, and wake up with that New Year's psychotic break!


True Leithians

Thought they were exterminators this round, imprisoning and framing Westie scientist Zan Nikora for the pandemic.


Leithians

Will be falling to the pandemic in droves, once the initial incubation period has passed. Once the hospitals on Leith make the call, the moon will go into quarantine for all cities that have either been affected or have had commerce to. The only location on the moon that might be free of the stop-movement will be the Monastery.


Resistance

A lot to do for those already set to plot the Company's downfall! Coordinate with info brokers to find a new cell or contacts within the movement, Find new safe and storage houses, coordinate with Scarbacks to funnel in supplies and weaponry, seek out those Company employees that seem sympathetic to the Resistance's cause...


The RAC


Our first warrant posting is available here, with listings for both general warrants and plot specific ones, so glance them over, plot it out here, and then sign up there!


Major Plot Points


P43X - Bio Attack

The infection will spread in the following stages. Note that time frames provided are for a normal, plain-jane metabolism -- characters who are enhanced or augmented can expect to experience the stages at a different rate. The rate is up to you, whether it's faster or slower, as it will vary between individuals. Not all symptoms will be experienced by an individual and as they progress through the stages, some of their previous symptoms are likely to become exacerbated while others may disappear entirely.

Note that participation is optional; you can sidestep the infection itself as long as your character isn't in the direct line of exposure (Leithian bazaar, W2D6) and have them participate in the form of relief work, trying to escape the paranoid and manic NPCs (or PCs), and etc! This is a great opportunity to start messing with their memory regains in the form of fevered-delirium, although whether or not those regains are fully accurate is up to you -- they're ill, after all!

Additionally, since death is permanent here, we recommend leaving the brain death to NPCs.


StageTime (Days)Symptoms
0
(Incubation)
2-3Exposure without symptoms.
1
(Prodromal)
1-2Nonspecific symptoms begin to appear: fatigue, muscle pain, auditory hallucinations, mild fever, dizziness, fainting, difficulty breathing, loss of appetite.
2
(Acute)
3-4High fevers, multimodal hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, intense fatigue, mania, difficulty concentrating, neuropathic pain, coma, brain death.
3
(Convalescence)
2-3Symptoms begin to dissipate as the individual recovers, though the pathogen may remain present and put others at risk of infection.


A cure will be developed and disseminated through Company, RAC, and volunteer hands between W4D3-W4D5, halting the progression of whatever stage your character happens to be in during that time and putting them into Stage 3.


Emergency Meeting of the Nine

On the last day of the chapter, an emergency meeting will be called with the Nine to discuss recent events and their response. Note that the failure of the Seventh Generation Accords is a fixed plot point, so this month we'll be taking an OOC vote on the result and using IC actions to support either end in the narrative, while returning to the cooperative style plotting seen in Chapter 1 hereafter.

Please vote, OOC, on which scenario you would prefer to see with a +1 in either the abolish or delay threads here.


Scenario: Delay
The Council will vote to delay Claimant Day until the True Leithian and Resistance threat can be eradicated, auspiciously under the guise of system stability. As such, the system will retain relative stability while focusing its efforts on quashing both the Resistance and True Leithian terrorists during Chapter 3. Land Kendry will continue to manipulate the political arena within the Nine in order to amass support and ultimately strike down the Seventh Generation Accord at the beginning of Chapter 4.


Scenario: Abolish
The Council will vote to abolish the Accords immediately, citing the actions of Zan Nikora and the True Leithians as evidence of civil rebellion. Martial law will be imposed on Westerley and any disobedience will be met with immediate punishment at the hands of Company agents. The Resistance, still a fledgling organization, will rally support amongst the Westie population and launch its first true counterattack at Company forces, starting our faction war in Chapter 3.

omg that's terrifying. meliodas is the worst millenial ever

i'm imagining her slowly hovering to match height while irritated

Anything she added to the water would probably make it healthier for the patrons

Municipal standards for water safety in Old Town probably just involve a sliding scale of shades of the color brown with a little arrow pointing to 'sandy brown' as a safe level...

[personal profile] sin_of_wrath 2017-01-11 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
this reminds me i got an alchemist jug in my d&d campaign and it lets you summon gallons of mayonnaise daily it's literally my favorite magic item

but actually meliodas didn't work directly for the company--officially. he was his dad's enforcer in secret--but meliodas would be around like 'i can obviously afford babysitters but my son would punch them all in the dick'

so maybe he could have had hijikata look after meliodas at work a few times... despite only being 2 years younger

I'll have to ask the mods for clarity on how we can handle a drug implemented into the game itself--so, I'll get back to you on this!

That said negl having Takasugi assume some control over Mel...

Rhys | Borderlands

[personal profile] rhygret 2017-01-11 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Rhys
Location: Qresh/Leith
Primary Faction Goals:
As a member of The Nine Rhys will be doing his best to save face and act like Land Kendry is really doing a Good Job and not totally suspicious in any way, shape, or form which is to say that fuck his life why is his family conniving assholes he doesn't trust them. He'll be on Leith long enough between work and such to get infected, whereupon he will hallucinate his former Handsome Jack shrine (he has a lot of posters and merch, it's as weird as it sounds).

If your character is involved with the Resistance feel free to hmu!!! Because Rhys is being blackmailed into helping/assisting them when he can and I'd love to do more with that. Similarly If your character dislikes/trusts the Kendrys come hither, Rhys is one of them and he's a great punching bag if you need it.
Secondary Faction Goals:
LEITH PEOPLE. Whether you're Comapny or RAC or anything, Rhys is going to be here!! So let's get some CR going. Rhys is going to start hallucinating while he's there so let's have some fun with that 8')

QRESH PEOPLE let's be rich and miserable together??
Desired CR: People he can hateflirt with, people he can try to impress, people who Hate The Nine, Resistance members, people who know Jack and who don't like him so Rhys can complain about Jack with them
Offered CR: Wanna meet a rich boy who doesn't understand why people don't Like Him? RHSY IS YOUR GUY. He's also great for intimidating, blackmailing, hitting in general, beign socially awkward, and needy as fuq for positive attention. Like seriously if you make this guy think you like him he's yours. It's sad.
Anything else?

WOW she'd never try to push someone into doing her dirty work, ok...!! (seriously though if kate's not into it she would back down immediately/try to find an alternate solution, she's not the type to push unless she has to)

other prompts include: 'hold down this drunk asshole while I disinfect his seventeen cuts', 'have you seen my dog???', and 'that guy just ran off with my walking-stick, get it back for me please'

[personal profile] tropism 2017-01-11 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
gently sinks my claws into you .... lovingly ....

- also he's prob getting sick at some point and having terrible auditory hallucinations of Mark Hamill Joker Laughing in the bg for a while or smth, what is his life. does anyone even want to deal with that. he'll be fine, probably.

i'm interested in this, gio's ability means that he can do this to people until the cure comes, if you wanna play with that!! >8Ia

[personal profile] uncrownings 2017-01-11 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
nice but blunt is an a+ combination tbh

as someone who also comes and goes from westerley&leith, he could have seen her a few times doing her singing thing and they could slowly and awkwardly try for slow and awkward friendship?

Noctis does part of his business in the bazaar and is def likely to be visiting his cafe, though he isn't all that interested in info brokering about The Man and is instead more interested in people coming/going/looking for things- idk if that's something Leo might trade in!

He's also going to be getting ill on Leith so if you're short on people to lend a hand, Noctis is also a soft-hearted dude with a tough exterior (Noctis is more try than succeed tbh) so there's that as well???

Character: ravus nox fleuret
Location: westerly at first! then probably going to move to leith for Crisis Control
Primary Faction Goals: on westerly he's probably going to be hanging out in the slums for a bit with lunafreya making sure that she's alright, and glaring at people who get too close to her ;; and when he ends up picking up and going to leith he's going to... be bossing people around, occasionally helping the afflicted, and dealing with everyone's favorite part of a pandemic... body disposal.
Secondary Faction Goals: since he's a mid-high range company officer he's going to be involved with cleaning house!!
Desired CR:
✔ negative cr!! ravus is a company rat ;; i fully support people being mean to him
✔ other company people, to take coffee breaks with, and burn bodies with on leith!
✔ people afflicted with the plague so he can awkwardly help them and pat them with his metal hand
✔ i'm going to be wild here... a friend... just one maybe


Offered CR:
✔ unsociable, line-face at the ready!

Anything else? i'm new here and kind of nervous, but i aggressively want to plot!!

rhygret: (oh don't I?)

WOW THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY

i hope you realize that noct will be permanently salty for 10,000 years as a result!!!

i'm actually totally fine with this incredible hot mess

how do you feel about noct blackmailing rhys with the job he'll be getting hired for in exchange for not mouthing off to authorities? somehow i'm not sure that shouting they're nanites!!! into the void would do him much good if rhys is looking for someone to blame.

Hey there here's technically a Company Mole. An unwilling one but he's being blackmailed so that helps. I'm not sure how far Akemi goes back game-time wise as modding memories, but with the whole neuroscience thing we could work out some pregame CR if you'd like?? Since Rhys got shoved in with the Kendrys and has over the legal limit of hack modding
