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.

Hi there! Just to be clear--before the cure is disseminated on W4D3, remedies against general inflammation/fever would help soften (but not halt) the symptoms?

Character: Julius Visconti
Location: Leith
Primary Faction Goals: Going Around Being Useful. He'll be assigned under SF at some point early in the chapter so what happens after that will depend on her directive, but I'm aiming to keep him on Leith but not have him infected because he needs to retain his sanity for part 2 of the chapter. Other than that I'm going to go free and easy since it's my first month here

Secondary Faction Goals: Have him set some bodies on fire. It's a pretty symbolic thread that I would like to have. Other than that I'm keeping my options open so I can adjust to the pace here!

Desired CR: Friends and allies, mostly - but I'm also up for negative CR. He's a lineface type so he won't really care until someone crosses moral boundaries, then it's instant mode change and it's something I would like to play out. It might get dangerous though so LET'S STICK TO WORKING TOGETHER FOR NOW.

Offered CR: Lineface Central CR, Loyal Company Dog CR. He's the type to just follow orders without questioning/or even judging the people with him, so he's oddly indifferent despite his stickler for rules. Do question him though so he has to be put on edge and defend his actions... it's not something he's used to???

Also he's been working for the Company for 5 years so I'm always up for pre-established CR!

Anything else? Nah hit me with what you've got

Character: Damian Wayne
Location: ALL OVER #ractrash
Primary Faction Goals: RAC - he gonna take the warrants and slam them in the garbage so he can become the One True Level Six King
Secondary Faction Goals: RESISTANCE PEEPS!! Help hIM REIGN. Ok but, Damian is going to be trying to see who he can recruit into the Resistance as well as help Resistance organization. He's mostly running Resistance through Scarbacks and RAC, but he really wants to see who he can get from the Company on their side.
Desired CR: Resistance folks, Company moles, RACmates + warrant work, people with animals, Scarbacks, babysitters
Offered CR: An overly serious ten year old that thinks he can take on the world.
Anything else? I plan to have him get sick so he can have some fever memory dreams; also I plan to have his fake Bruce Wayne dad on Leith get sick, too, so he'll have an excuse to be on Leith.

Character: giorno giovanna

Location: westerley, but he's also doing rac stuff, he's a killjoy level 1

Primary Faction Goals: taking on some level 1 warrants - i'm looking at the quad atm, but i'm also a-ok for the j-star system warrant. for w4d3, he'll be delivering med supplies and cures

Secondary Faction Goals: i've got nothing set in stone beyond checking in on his brother, friends and making sure they're not dying, if there's anything specific you'd like him for, hit me up!!

Desired CR: RACs just so he's got work cr is what i'm looking for, beyond that i'm up for anything!

Offered CR:quiet reckless-type, will make you drink his blood if it gets the job done. see here for his abilities, plot-wise they might be useful ....

giorno's alliances are with his friend(s?) and his shit lil brother, and he has sympathies for westies, but otoh his goal is to level up as a killjoy. in terms of loyalties i'll say that it's split 70-30 between RAC and his fam, which is lumped under the westie category because that's where they're from.

Anything else? i'm new don't eat me!!!

Character: keith
Location: westerley!
Primary Faction Goals: the j-star item recovery warrant, probably. . . i.e. the week that keith finally convinces one of the local dealers to rent a ship to him, only to crash it in a chase that isn't technically part of the warrant, so he can't even attempt to expense it.

he'll also badly want in on the zan nikora warrant, but that's up to the rng gods and anybody willing to partner with him.

Secondary Faction Goals: n/a, too complex for dumb boys.

Desired CR: infobrokers -- specifically, someone who can (i) pass him information on a seedy shipdealer's business so that he can finally convince someone to rent something that'll get him off-planet; (ii) tell him about zan nikora, because fuck if keith listens to info on a regular basis. look, he'll pay for info and he'll ask very nicely.*

mechanics -- given his Extremely Real Westerley Backstory (TM), keith ttttends towards occasionally hotwiring vehicles to get around the city. that + the item recovery warrant means that he will probably . . . need someone who'll let him open up a tab. or maybe just hassle him for the increasing amount of money he'll come to owe them over time. i'm really good for either.

level four agents -- as a reminder, keith is a useless shounen wannabe with a passion for the right thing!!11 . . . which means he's perfectly happy to corner agents of the right level and demand to be taken along. if you're into getting yowled at by an angry spacecat, we should chat. ♥

??? -- i am always perfectly happy to make up hijinks if you're remotely interested in tagging. the item recovery warrant could be for a contested shipment of fertiliser on leith that keith accidentally upends on your character while towing it back to the owner! it could be a particularly rich and elderly nine-knockoff who's weirdly convinced that you're a prime suspect in the theft of the century: his cat's missing collar! etc etc. i am really all about making stuff up gratuitously.

val-my-val -- I CAN SEE YOU THINKING ABOUT SKIPPING OVER MY COMMENT AND AM CALLING YOU OUT.

( * he will say "please" once after five minutes' silence while glowering. )

Offered CR: in general — stupid, angry boy who shouts way too much not to be enjoying it at least a little. for this specific round: keith won't be getting sick! so if you wanted someone to hold your delirious character on a leash, i am here for you.

Anything else? i was extremely slow last month and am slowly revving back to speed! let's tag, overjoyed. ♥

Lunafreya - Westerley - Scarback

[personal profile] munia 2017-01-11 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Lunafreya
Location: Westerley

Primary Faction Goals: healing!! DOES ANYONE NEED A DOCTOR, this girl will fix you up (more or less, she's running a half-baked operation in the slums, not a privately funded clinic) right quick after your bar brawl/intoxication/bad trip/etc. Happy Harvest Week!

Secondary Faction Goals: MORE HEALING. as reports of the infection spread from Leith she'll be conflicted on whether to stay with the needy or go to the infected. if you have news from Leith, she'll want to hear it.

Desired CR: people to help/volunteer at her teeny-tiny shitty """clinic"""/soup kitchen/shelter during HW; people to help dispose of the inevitable bodies; people to take care of her when she inevitably catches death; someone who wants to donate (or broker, but she doesn't have much to give...you could always try to pressure her into acts of subversion/resistance/etc) SUPPLIES, she needs supplies always

Offered CR: A DOCTOR; someone to remind you that drinking twelve successive shots was not a good idea; someone who won't ask how that got stuck up there

Anything else? Lunafreya has no love lost for the RAC or the Company, but she won't let you die no matter who you're allied with or working for. she'll be getting infected once the disease hits wetserley (late week 3/early week 4), so someone might need to give her a hand...

[personal profile] slotted 2017-01-11 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Leo Elster

Location: Leith (probably Westerley?! He'll go there if someone tells him to.)

Primary Faction Goals: Iiii kind of want him to get sick! But just up to stage 1. I also want him to regain a memory some time during this chapter. ANYWAY—his main goal (despite being ill) would be to help as many people as possible. He's a bleeding heart that way!

Secondary Faction Goals: Have more stupid interactions (why this)

Desired CR: Positive CR for now. He's... a bit difficult when it comes to that, but he's a very nice person despite his tough hobo exterior. And maybe someone who can help him out while he's sick, too. BUT I'M OPEN TO ANYTHING!

Offered CR: He works at one of the cafes at the bazaar, so his workplace is busy. If your character is the type who visits cafes frequently, then HE'S ALL YOURS. He's also an info broker but there's not much to get from him at the moment. But if you want to start building a relationship with him now...!

Aside from that, he's part robot so he is here for all your digital needs!

Anything else? Hi!

Character: John Steinbeck

Location: Leith like 90% of the time

Primary Faction Goals: Steinbeck is going to be putting in all his efforts to help the Resistance out using his status as a Scarback and will be coordinating secret supply efforts, pressing Company people for passcodes, and other Resistance stuff. He will probably get infected at some point, but thanks to his bio enhancements it will progress slower for him than usual. If you want him to infect your character by accident LET ME KNOW.

Secondary Faction Goals: He'll be looking out for the few friends he has and just making sure they're safe and sound during the whole chaos of the thing!

Desired CR: PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING...Company people he can try to stab in the back/antagonize, fellow Resistance people he can coordinate and help, just anyone who would be interested in him as a Scarback, I'm up for all I can get.

Offered CR: John Steinbeck can be ur angle...or ur devil...seriously though, while he's very sweet and nice to people he's close to, he can be quite the ruthless and cunning individual who will hurt and kill people in the name of the Resistance. He doesn't mind people in the RAC and otherwise, but if you're Company stuff he'll hate your guts. For this event, he'll be mostly ignoring people for the sake of his own goals, but if you need help and you're not on his bad list, he'll lend a hand where he can.

Anything else? i'm super new meat so I'M HYPE, HELLO ALL

Character: Sui Feng
Location: Quad-wide!
Primary Faction Goals: So SF is actually Nine first, Company second (though that's a pretty circular relationship), so her goal is going to be to safeguard Kendry's secrets and protect the Nine's shady af operations between ..
Secondary Faction Goals: .. WHO WANTS INTERROGATIONS? Disloyal or just insubordinate or sleepy Company people, I am here to make your life more difficult.
Desired CR:
- That like 0.3% of the population that doesn't irritate her
- The 99.7% of the population that does
- Company hijinks
- INTERROGATION can I just keep saying this
- Burning bodies at some point as you do
- Backhanding manic/sick people like uuugh you're all so Not-Nine
Offered CR:
- Negative
- Super negative



- Like really negative tbh
- Competent coworker with few social skills
- Lower royal who is also an assassin
- 4'11" made of murder
- Make RAC life difficult.
- Make everyone's life difficult tbh.

Anything else? SF is one of those shonen-anime types so she won't actually get sick despite hanging out with all you sick people, but she can DEFINITELY carry it and act as delivery.

Character: Takasugi Shinsuke
Location: Spaa~*~*ce
Primary Faction Goals: Resistance -
Long term: destabilize the oligarchy and cause destructive chaos throughout the Quad
Short term: gather funds, resources, and alliances as he avoids the mess of Harvest Week
Desired CR: Nobility with agendas, Less than loyal Company members, Angry people who want to lash out
Offered CR: A manipulative, scheming Resistance leader with a good amount of weapons and drugs to sell. He's the first to inspire people to make destructive bad decisions, so if anyone needs an extra push...
Anything else? December got way busier than I expected it to, so I sort of dropped the ball on my threads! I'd love to get back to all of them, and keep them going/wrap them up, BUT, if anyone who I was threading with would rather handwave and move on, that's fine too - just let me know ovo7
