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.

RESISTANCE IN THE HOUSE, READY TO BREAK IT DOWN

yeah, steinbeck needs all the resistance buddies he can get, and would definitely update her whenever possible about the situation on leith - he might be traveling to westerley when things start to die down, so they can meet up there if you want!
impulsors: (Default)

[personal profile] impulsors 2017-01-11 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
sure. i mean, hookers have to be hot by profession, right. ):

LITERALLY ALL KEITH WOULD ASK WOULD BE (I) WHO TO BLAME FOR THE VIRUS AND (II) THE ZAN NIKORA BACKSTORY . . . he's deathly out of the loop when it comes to things like these, possibly because you have to walk up to him and ask him what he likes to get his attention. if it helps!
graftage: (in dubious battle)

[personal profile] graftage 2017-01-11 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
gently wipes away tear....they're so helpful

anyways, yes, steinbeck will need all the help he can get, so this is like +100 in the CR department for the both of them if they pitch in and transport him

refactor: (manboobs or dingledonger?)

[personal profile] refactor 2017-01-11 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
I mean technically Jack can help "solve" crime. He just also solves it through murder?? that counts???

nah I'm just kidding I'm here for cr especially since I don't have anything big planned for this event!! so if anything jumps out to you for jack and kate I'm so there or if not jack can just generally be his obnoxious self and that's like. trying enough.

or actually hilariously jack could probably help with the trick arrows now that I think about it bc he's a fuckin engineer so there's also that
fledges: (022)

[personal profile] fledges 2017-01-11 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
OH MY GOD can you imagine jack making trick arrows for kate and kate trying very hard not to punch him in the face? amazing tbh

ride together, die together...do you want to do anything pre-established (i have a log where i could throw up a prompt for pre-game stuff) or just let them get to know each other through their resistance efforts?
lotusmesenpai: (broke communication)

[personal profile] lotusmesenpai 2017-01-11 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Don't get emotional! He's going to throw you at Lavi to deal with if you do!

Well, it's not like he's going to ask what the hell the guy is transporting.

[personal profile] sin_of_wrath 2017-01-11 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
yeah i know how to read poorly what about it

The Company might be better!

Meliodas is about 25, so would Hijikata remember a very angry adorable teenager who was a son of one of the leading Company tech division heads that would constantly berate and mock Company staff when he was around???
homonka: (and your face on the floor)

[personal profile] homonka 2017-01-11 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Sure! She tends to stick to Company personnel but could take over if he's being interrogated badly and she's just. /rolls eyes

"i specialize in killing people and even i can do a better job than that"

alternatively she can just be one of the company people who periodically looms at him from the shadows like i got my eye on you and then disappears again
graftage: (cannery row)

[personal profile] graftage 2017-01-11 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
steinbeck sadly has no emotions besides constant anger and salt so don't worry kanda, he's not going to cry all over you

GOOD ask no questions, don't look behind the curtain, this is just casual scarback business YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING
homonka: (I wouldn't put my money on the other guy)

[personal profile] homonka 2017-01-11 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
I AM ALSO HERE FOR THIS

she has a pet doge (gio) ?? so they're probably gonna see each other too much uuugh.

sidebar is she old enough for him to hit on now (she's 30??!)

either way he can be one of her first interrogations. just tell me a good ic date for you!
lotusmesenpai: (can't let you fade)

[personal profile] lotusmesenpai 2017-01-11 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
He's even got the right color hair, almost... It's good that they can accept being substitutes!

I'm game! they have THINGS that put them out of commission for the 1st and Second day of the week, so maybe a warrant on day 3? Before shit gets R E A L.

ITS ALL GOOD ;u;b

Hijikata is 27, and has been working for the Company for 9 years, so YES PROBABLY he would, so long as the timelines match up ahahah Please needle him directly he's in dire need of not being taken seriously

[personal profile] sin_of_wrath 2017-01-11 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
By now, the jukebox is just an employee he can't get rid of(it's shaped like a giant pig)

but it takes orders so he can't completely get rid of it

is it a punishment if the pig jukebox plays every top ten hit song in succession near endlessly every night?

yes send help
