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.

inksplashes: (Truth is that it was always going to end)

[personal profile] inksplashes 2017-01-11 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Lavi
Location: Kanda's hip probably. But mostly Leith.
Primary Faction Goals: Warrants until he can't ignore the fact he's seeing weird af things from a fever, then softly almost dying, then more warrants. He's interested in The Nine but also Hates Them, so. Might pursue some of the Nine angles?
Secondary Faction Goals: Lavi isn't overly invested in anything that isn't related to his position as a bookman (weird history keeper) but he also sucks at actually being impartial and with memory regains he's gonna start to really suck. Feelings will happen, I'm sorry.
Desired CR:
- Continuing old CR!
- More killjoys.
- Someone he can actually, truly hate.
- Scarbacks!! He loves all of you and also works p closely with them.
- Women to hit on.
- Men to hit on if he gets sick enough or you're Kanda.
- Light-hearted stuff prior to illness.
- People to accidentally infect himself because he's gonna just quietly ignore that fatigue, he sleeps like a cat anyway...
- People who can kind of remind him / emulate his canon attachments and friendships so he stops being cold af inside.
Offered CR:
- Killjoy with social skills.
- Cute.
- But also mildly terrifying and slightly sociopathic.
- But still cute because it's in the name of history.
- Random cultural observations.
- Trends towards more light-hearted.
- Being mildly psychotic due to illness (shhhh ignore the order of this)
Anything else? ?? I'm good with anything here and don't plan to toplevel this time 'round so I'm gonna harass others instead!

3 days later, a reply arrives with 'don't die' written on plain card

LMAO but jokes aside!! As long as Itsuki does his job right and doesn't kill children or commit other atrocities they can be friends o/ Julius really doesn't judge other than judging your competency so the flirting will be disregarded


probably

good luck getting confidential information from him though... he'd give you nonconfidential ones but not the supersecret stuff or 5 people will kill him


also he's a prettyboy does that count

[personal profile] ofobedience 2017-01-11 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Ahah I honestly still have no idea and no real plans as of yet, having just arrived in game too!! Anything with violence is always good for Giovanni, but outside of that I'm still unsure. Anything in particular you were planning to have Julius do on Leith?
nightchild: (HAH????)

[personal profile] nightchild 2017-01-11 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
oh my god

itsuki ends up letting sion crash over his place bc he doesn't know where he lives so i guess that means it's time for accidental drunk cuddling

deceptions: (Default)

[personal profile] deceptions 2017-01-11 03:05 am (UTC)(link)

homonka: (killed by an angel)

[personal profile] homonka 2017-01-11 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
yes pls

tho maybe not ending in violence between them since that'd just be a lot of medical supplies wasted lbr

were you thinking tag-team or somewhat else?
deceptions: (Default)

[personal profile] deceptions 2017-01-11 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
volunteers "someone to get him sick in the first place"
nightchild: (blushu)

[personal profile] nightchild 2017-01-11 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
LKSDJFSD im so glad that itsuki meets all the requirements... HE DOES SELL DRUGS but it's not a widely known thing since he has a stupid alias he has when selling them (and the drugs themselves aren't.... bAD??? COMPARED TO JAKK... i mean they're still bad because they're drugs but he doesn't sell them to children at least!!!)

it's okay itsuki loves nonconfidential information too he can totally sell that anyday

NO!!!! ITSUKI DOESN'T HIT ON PRETTY BOYS!! ONLY BY ACCIDENT!!!
tousei: (he has a sad life)

[personal profile] tousei 2017-01-11 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
> anything with violence

THAT'S EASY FOR THEM

Hmm I was thinking maybe a meeting (short) before they move on to their duties as quarantine holders for a while? Maybe have them fight someone together, #justcompanydogthings, stuff like that. They don't seem like people to settle for non-mission idle threads, if that makes sense.
