Plot post for November 16
PLOTTING POST
This format of plot post is designed for players to ask questions and find ways to influence the plot. Be bold and ask what you can or can't do; the worst that can happen is that we will say no. As plots in Save the Earth are not self resolving nor on a time limit they can evolve in many ways. Although some potential outcomes are given, they are little more than suggestion and can be changed by character action. What role you take is up to you.
The post is also open for players to plot and coordinate between one another.
General/OOC notes:
• We haven't forgotten the people who signed their characters up as contact persons; you'll be approached by us as the chance for a first encounter/the need for an announcement comes up.
• We now have a New Player Guide! It is intended for prospective players, applicants, or everyone who desires a quick run-down of the basics of STE. So if someone is interested in the game, this would be a good place to link them.
Events that occurred recently or are occurring currently:
• Media: There is a clear divide between different localities now in how the media treat reincarnates. In Locke, media remain as hostile as the population in general, which means that with the recent developments it has gotten worse. In Las Vegas, the numbered are not really interesting to the media anymore - there will be all kinds of mentions every once in a while, but they're not the topic of the day anymore. In Germany/Austria, the media are cautiously interested.
Locke City
• The mafia have been striking back in full force. Many of the numbered have been victimised in a series of brutal attacks - and others have found themselves taking the blame for them. A few reincarnates have contacted the authorities, requesting help or offering information on the mafia's activities: the police force are now beginning to realise that letting the numbered and the mafia sort each other out simply isn't working.
• As a direct consequence of the mafia's media-baiting, long-term numbered Anthony Janvier was cornered at Espresso Yourself and murdered by a vigilante mob. As a safety precaution, Project Jump (the teleporter) has been moved to the Willow Ridge Boarding Academy which belongs to Lazarus (deadblackeyes). As this is a reincarnate-owned building, it is still fully accessible to the Numbered.
• In more positive news, Alistair Freeman, a reporter formerly based in Locke City, has started to help the numbered publicity a bit.
Las Vegas
• There was a Halloween Party at Arthur's (italktofish) wedding chapel in Las Vegas, organized by the alien Badri. Meredith also showed, while Geoff was absent.
• Rebuilding is continuing. Many casinos are still runing despite the construction work, and the fountain on top of the mountain is set to be working again by the 20th.
Neuschwanstein Area
• After the exploring of the orbital tower, the bottom level of it has been opened to the public, while the upper levels have gotten firmly closed off. The reasons given are along the lines of legal insecurities about property and international consideration, but there is another reason: Lily (alilyinthemoonslight) and Winter (peacefulwinter) as well as Eugen (buildyourworld) encountered three familiar faces up there Lily and Winter informed the German and Austrian authorities about this. They have since been on the look-out for these "so-called aliens", though they're doing their best to keep it under wraps.
• Between the 8th and the 14th, the wolpertinger have started acting strangely, seeking the presence of the numbered and some of them even having become tame enough to adopt them. After the 14th, ghosts of wolpertinger could and still can be found in the ghost zone. These wolpertinger are very aggressive and will attack on sight. For more information consult the last mini plot post.
Events occurring in the immediate future:
• Ghost wolpertinger will show up in all three locations, please refer to the mini plot post for information.
Locke City
• Direct attacks on the Numbered are slowing, perhaps in response to the handful of failed murder attempts on certain reincarnates. However: from the 16th onwards, more businesses and public places will be hiring Albero'stotally legitimate security team to watch over their property. The guards seem to be human, but they're accompanied by odd-looking dogs: they look like beagles with a large, bulbous nose. Reincarnates who've been around a while might recognise them as being the sniffer dogs that Thunder Corp and the corrupt police used to utilise - the ones that can sniff out reincarnates...
• This weekend (22/23 Nov), the mafia will unleash a second attack on Espresso Yourself with the intent of burning the building down and murdering anyone inside. As the proprietor, Lazarus will be proposing the Numbered work together to do something about it. Stay tuned!
• Sometime after the above, Nick Burkhardt (detectivetroll) will be using information he has gathered to lead the way on actively striking out at the mafia. Anyone up for busting up a meeting or two?
Neuschwanstein Area
• On the 29th of November, Rose Bonbright will organize a bus tour to the Christmas Market in Nuremberg, aka the largest and most famous one in Germany. The tour is free for all numbered. Note that it will take them out of the echo boundaries, so only 10% of each of their echoes will remain.
• Starting on the 20th, all members of the numbered special commission group (that is still open to new members) as well as all members of the FBI will be allowed on the second level of the Orbital Tower every day between sunrise and sunset. They have order to immediately report if anyone not a numbered is trespassing there.
• Slowly but surely, Vermini start to show up in the Alpsee Lake, Schwansee Lake, the Pöllat river and all other waterways in the vicinity of the castles.
Events potentially occurring in the immediate future:
Locke City
• The unrest in Locke is growing - if it is left unchecked, riots are bound to follow. Rumour has it that the people at the nearby military base are already preparing for this eventuality.
Las Vegas
• If one was to venture deeper down into the mountain, they would find a lot of gold, gemstones and precious objects. If someone wishes to do this, please contact Kira-mod for more information.
Neuschwanstein Area
• In the near future, there will be an exploration of Neuschwanstein Castle for reasons. Date and reasoning are dependent on player actions that have not yet happened, but information about it will go out to every member of the numbered special commission group and to those whose contact information Kaufmann and Rose Bonbright have.
Potential Echo Opportunities
• Encountering a ghost-like presence, a Vermini, a Vermedi, a Vermaxi for the first time grants one plot echo each.
• Using the teleporter for the first time will grant one plot echo.
Locke City
• Encounters with an altered Mafia subordinate grants one plot echo if the character never received an echo from encountering an altered Blood Key.
Neuschwanstein Area
• Encountering a wolpertinger or a ghost wolpertinger for the first time will grant one plot echo.

Mafia Meeting/Modification Location Attack Plotting!
Right now, he has the location of where the mafia members are being modified, as well as the details on a meeting where a large number of higher up mafia members will be meeting. (Possibly Albero himself, but I'll have to doublecheck on that one!) He also has a number of recorded conversations that implicate the mafia in various kidnappings and attacks on the Numbered.
He'll be making mention that he has this info on L's post about the Espresso Yourself situation.
Sometime after the situation with Espresso Yourself (whenever works for people, basically), Nick'll be making an IC network post with more details, and asking for anyone who wants to launch an attack against the place the modifications are being made and the meeting with the high ranked mafia members. (He'll mention that the last time they attacked a modification location, it was where the alien was hiding, for any characters who weren't there ICly for that.)
I'll put up an OOC plotting post at the same time, to hammer out details and for anyone who'd like to go (or have their character argue against going, or whatever) but would prefer to handwave IC signups.
He'll also be looking to hand over his recordings to someone - but not until after the attack against the meeting takes place, because they'll pretty obviously blow his cover.
I posted some of this on the tail-end of the previous plot post, and had some takers, but I'd love to get more people involved! Either in coming along, attempting to stop any attacks, or even ICly taking over and doing more of a leadership role, I'm a-okay with all of the above! For personal reasons, Nick's focus will be on the meeting itself, but the modification location may end up being more productive plot-wise, idk.

almost as though they're the same person. Torin's more concerned with the Espresso Yourself side of things and protecting people, while Hajime's a little readier just to get in there and make with the fighting.no subject
