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.

!! Hello and welcome!

I would absolutely love more Resistance CR with Takasugi, so yes bring her on! He's absolutely not only willing, but pretty damn determined to take the most violent routes possible, so I'm sure there's some ideological disagreement potential, but that doesn't mean they can't help each other out when it's convenient.

And her running what's basically an 'odd jobs' business will strike a chord with him. Good? Bad? He doesn't know, but he's feelin something lmao

Would she have any reason to be traveling around space? I can figure something out for them to meet up in that way, or, if she's just on Westerley, maybe we can do some pre-established CR since he does travel through it regularly!

LMAO FUCK NO he likes festivals a lot, but this isn't a fair its more like a god damned festering pit so he'll abstain...

unless he gets a chance to blow something up THEN HE WILL COME

I want to keep backtagging our thread, but I'd also be up for setting up some drug trade stuff! Do you want to go back and do their initial pre-established CR, or would you like to say that maybe Itsuki wants to show Takasugi a new strain, or discuss an expanding market?

Seriously. No wonder he (unofficially) reminds him of Allen. Shady, cheating, bastard. There should be warrant things. I don't even care which one!

Maybe we can talk Ari into having Lavi there to mediate...

PERFECT

Meliodas is on Westerley, so any CR would have had to take place before this Harvest Week thing, since Takasugi is avoiding it, BUT that's good with me if it's good with you!

What sort of methods of lashing out does Meliodas fantasize about? Takasugi's here to enable it all, tbh, but a little OOC guidance would be A+ so I can make sure he does maximum damage LOL

[personal profile] sin_of_wrath 2017-01-11 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
...negl, I'd love Past-CR with Hijikata and Meliodas from BACK IN THE DAY as RAC agents.

okay, i'm home but i need like ten naps, so you do not get the infinite wellspring of options that i'd dreamt, only what i was able to scrounge up on the bus:

- cruella de vil: the acid rain was shit for meat deliveries to the seedier businesses, which have received several spoiled shipments. some freewheeling dealers have taken it upon themselves to snap up straying dogs for Nefarious Purposes. (the purpose is that the dogs get eaten.) keith takes a warrant for a missing dog, because (i) it pays well and (ii) that's how fucking low he is on the totem pole; but guess who's the next target on the puppynapping agenda.
- semi plot-related bullshit: keith listens to the public broadcast, as opposed to just the local shitposts, and tries to find a company contact who won't be such a shit, so's he can find out what's likely to be coming down the pipeline. this mostly consists of lurking outside some company outpost once he's finished a warrant.
- actual plot-related bullshit: rounding up sick folk together while trying to figure out how not to catch it themselves?? i'm picturing them, like, driving a flock of wild-eyed fevered zombies down a narrow street -- surely the company must have some thoughts for dealing with contagion en masse.
- the grudge (tm): some npc's developed weak, petty spite against the all-powerful company after the events of chapter 1, and basically sets up an item retrieval warrant that very thinly sets riza up as the supposed culprit, for no other reason than because they know where she lives and that she works for the company. unfortunately, keith's not a detective and it's a long fucking week, meaning he breaks into riza's apartment without asking too many questions.

??? I CAN INVENT MORE IF THESE DON'T WORK, but first, naps are in order. ):

Meliodas is actually actively trying to NOT lash out

But, I'll constantly be looking for ways for Meliodas to relapse into his evil af mentality...

|D Is Takasugi into drug trading for revenue at all?

/parks here

Once/if he's ready to jump to Westerley, Kanda and Lavi can prolly take him... along with his cargo... whatever it may be...

Kate is super broke, so I'm leaning towards saying she's stuck on Westerley at the moment! I'm also all for them arguing once in a while, because Kate is stubborn but would absolutely be willing to help him out regardless.

[personal profile] sin_of_wrath 2017-01-11 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
A mixture of two things, not gonna lie. I like the idea of Meliodas meeting with 'old contacts' who would hate him now because of his criminal background and his father's betrayal of the Company and offhandedly, I'd love for someone to get their hands on his dad's old research...

BACK IN THE DAY IS GOOD - did Meliodas also work for the Company? Hijikata has never been a RAC agent, but I'm sure he's done some jobs alongside some if you'd like to go that way!

Otherwise, Company all the way ;u;b

well, icly keith stands 0% odds of getting the warrant unless he finds the level four who accepts it, so there's always the option where he just barges into koon's apartment, assuming that he'd at least be contemplating it!! . . .only to find him in the early stages of delirium.

and promptly just stands there like, fuck. i've never taken care of anyone in my life. can i just tie him down and leave. fuck.







i mean, i can give you a laundry list of options too, but the image struck me as hilarious.

he can totally do this. He's loyal to the bone to he'd definitely be actively hateful towards someone who betrayed his masters. And do tell, what does this research entail?
