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.

I don't think Julius will leave Leith this chapter but... text? mails? spam mails??

SLAMS LONG COMMENT DOWN

HELLO I have a company man here who I'd love to get CR with Itsuki!

I have an idea, let me know what you think! Maybe Itsuki could be party rocking TOO HARD and gets intercepted with the most petty of charges - yes he really is going to arrest someone for public intoxication you won bad luck bingo - which could probably result in an amusing back and forth, really, as no one should take Hijikata seriously ever

A thread like that ^, even if Itsuki manages to slip away, I think could be a lot of fun and a good way to start CR ;u;

But! You mentioned getting him in deeper waters, so maybe his attempted arrest could lead into the dots connecting and the realization that Itsuki has some shady connections, thus an interrogation? It doesn't have to be Hijikata who drills him, but it could be a good segue into having serious Company side-eye

Character: Alice Liddell
Location: Leith
Primary Faction Goals: This will make her lean really to Leith, but that's a big MAYBE.
Secondary Faction Goals: Have her not go neutral, probably
Desired CR: Any pre-established CR here! Definitely people who could be her friend because she's gonna need it. Definitely find people to help calm her down.
Offered CR: While she's super skittish, Alice can be a very good friend and be pretty loyal? Also, if you're looking to really set her off, I'm down for that. I'm new, so anything goes!
Anything else? So Alice is a pretty shaken person, it takes some time to get her to open up, I guess this is just a warning if she gets to be too standoffish with some people.

kate!!! screams quietly... and loudly but mostly quietly in an effort not to overwhelm you

i only have an infobroker who's pretty useless in everything physical ever, but im totally down for pre-existing cr between them!! he would have totally hired her P.I. services now and again too (for menial stuff like "KATE!! SOMEONE STOLE THE SATELLITE TV AGAIN!!" and "KATE!! I'VE GOT A CLIENT WHO'S LOOKING FOR A MURDERER AND I CAN'T DO THAT, CAN YOU"

also bc itsuki is itsuki he will most definitely have hit on her at some point im sorry

Time to set this moon on fire

Character: Kanda Yu
Location: Leith and Old Town, primarily
Primary Faction Goals: Neutral as fuck, except when it comes to the Nine. They can die. The warrant is all, and all that BS.
Secondary Faction Goals: Company can burn too. But still neutral.
Desired CR: ALL THE THINGS. People to run warrants with, current/established CR to keep pushing against his stubborn self to build more complex bonds. New CR to test his patience or ability to regenerate... Seee? I just want it all.
Offered CR: All I've got to give you is this bastard. Somehow, it seems like I'm giving you the short end of the stick...

But no, seriously. He and Lavi are a team, but I definitely want to get him more CR with other killjoys, and he's already been to the Scarback monastery, so much as he thinks the religion is BS, he likes their pad. Locals in both Leith and Westerley that can challenge his very black and white Company & Nine vs Him worldview would be amazing. He also moonlites at a couple of bars in old town playing bouncer and ass-kicker to drunk and annoying locals in exchange for the good hokk, so there can be bar brawl shenanigans! He's a jerk, true, but he's from current canon so he's a slightly more considering one that is already having significant (if unclear as of yet) bleed-through of his real memories. I'd like to use this pandemic to bring a few of those memories to the front and leave him thinking they were brought on by the sickness.

Anything else? Seriously, this is 75% of his CR. This is why they need a Lena...

"I'll set the Dog on you, and the Dog isn't even the worst part."

It could be like a reprise of a performance that they did back in the day??? Giovanni, of course, is free to notice that Sion is emotionally distraught afterward.

Spoilers: he's the kind of villain who kills while crying. He's great at murder, but hates doing it.

sunderings: (please don't wake me now)

[personal profile] sunderings 2017-01-11 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Sure! It could even be a case where Sion, who decides Hijikata needs an 'outing', entirely fabricates a false lead so that they can tour Old Town (on a wild goose chase???) during the festivities and it really just ends up like an episode of Hijikata's day off..............

Whoops.....
