overjoyed_ooc | 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.

Stage	Time (Days)	Symptoms
0 (Incubation)	2-3	Exposure without symptoms.
1 (Prodromal)	1-2	Nonspecific symptoms begin to appear: fatigue, muscle pain, auditory hallucinations, mild fever, dizziness, fainting, difficulty breathing, loss of appetite.
2 (Acute)	3-4	High fevers, multimodal hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, intense fatigue, mania, difficulty concentrating, neuropathic pain, coma, brain death.
3 (Convalescence)	2-3	Symptoms 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.

CR Meme Template

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Character: koon ( aguero agnis, but that's too long )
Location: leith!! westerley!! as always being a killjoy means being all over the place
Primary Faction Goals: being a killjoy as usual, until he gets sick. he was one of the killjoys that got to rescue the derrish heir so his ego is probably HUGE, but i plan to take that down multiple pegs by getting him sick pretty much right away 8) bye forever koon
Secondary Faction Goals: he's been working on gathering information, and gently feeding that over to the resistance side!! now that he's helped out the derrish it's time to make sure they don't actually... win...
Desired CR:

— more resistance cr!! he's a resistance member by name but he hasn't done anything because i've been slow... so help me fix it!!
— info brokers!! he loves gathering information more than being a killjoy so chances are he'll happily approach info brokers...
— someone to find out he's sick with the plague in his apartment, actually taking care of him ( very ) optional
— he's really hard to get genuinely positive cr with but!! if anyone's interested tbh he's sorely lacking people who don't want him dead at least a little

Offered CR:

— a shady jerk who manipulates people
— a shady jerk with a soft spot for nice people
— will teach people he likes how to steal/cheat/con/etc, but people he likes tend to be nice people so you can see there's a problem here
— a level 4 killjoy which means he can take people on level 4 warrants ( and will take people along if they don't mind getting bossed around!! ), though he'll be sick during the zan nikora one
— because he's sick: if you need an excuse to get your character infected, he's your guy
— really good at getting neg cr with just about anyone

Anything else?: as always i'm sorry for him & i love hashing out pre-game cr!! his app is here, if you feel like reading up on his backstory.

"he'll happily approach info brokers..." im so glad they're friends jay

best friends now 8)

no but their cr is so dumb I LOVE IT let's do something fun this time too eheh

LMAO HOW SICK IS KOON GONNA BE have u already gotten an angel of mercy to help him out

cause i mean itsuki... would feel bad for him?? and get him a beer + carry him to a clinic (but first, the beer)

PRETTY SICK....... actually we were gonna have keith bust down koon's door for warrant stuff only to find out koon's delirious...... so keith panics and randomly inboxes a bunch of people on koon's contact list until someone comes and helps him

would itsuki like to volunteer

oh my god... pls sign me up pronto

IM STILL CRACKING UP AT KEITH MESSAGING AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE... just take him to the hospital?? KEITH???

LMFAO look he's just a kid what does... he know.....??!?!? idk, this is already a mess and i love it

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...

LMFAO WOW????? he's his own person excuse ( nah this is perfect i'm so happy, koon Hates this one guy who's super serious with HONOR and stuff this fits great )

i'd love to do warrant things earlier this month?? before he gets sick basically, if that's okay....

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.

LMAO SAME.... wait does kanda use swords because swords are a huge thing for his kanda replacement...

ye!! day 3's more than fine me with me c:

As soon as he remembers Mugen, he'll start using that as his primary his again. But he is very adept at all types of Asian swords, regardless.

Sweet! I'll check with Ari to see if she's game for the three of them. Preference for a warrant? In the quad or having to travel together across the J for max effect of being stuck on a ship together?

oh god these comparisons get BETTER AND BETTER i'm so happy

OH HMMM oh god if they actually have to go to the J i'd laugh... lavi trying to reconcile the two as they sit on the opposite ends of the ship

(no subject)
