Plot Post for October 23rd!

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.







Events occurring currently:

• As of this morning (October 23rd, between the hours of 3:00-4:00 A.M., a large portion of the Thunder Corp.-owned Dead District has been bombed. Any living or working late in the run-down part of town or, alternatively, possessed of supernatural hearing may have been disturbed by the noise - though they’d not have been harmed by default; inhabited areas and locations such as the LSR Clinic are not within the area affected and, by now, no casualties have been reported. Entire blocks of buildings have, however, been effectively brought to the ground - and no evidence of parties involved or responsible has, as it appears, been found.


• Any snake statues left standing until today are now no longer anywhere to be found in the Dead District.






Events occurring in the immediate future:

• Thunder Corp. deny any knowledge as to the motivation or perpetrators of the bombing as they’d done in response to the rumors against them in September - officials are, however, beginning to voice suspicions to the media "putting two and two together" culminating in announcement in a formal press conference at soonest possible convenience. In line with and supporting their statements, the police department will be investing time and effort in the investigation, identification, and any necessary subsequent incarceration of “eco-terrorists” at work in Locke City.

And you can imagine what this means for you, our reincarnated heroes!

Police presence will now be increasing in all public places - in the form of increased patrols and watch over not only business and industrial areas but such populous everyday locations as Locke City High School and LCU, claimed to be in concurrent increase in drug investigations begun in August, although mercifully enough those with dogs will be few and far between.


• ...Or they will be on all days forecastable except for October 31st - Halloween. It’s a night that invites mischief and with what mischief appears to be afoot in the city nowadays, the police department will apparently see fit to keep watch over most areas in which citizen traffic is expected - shadowing residential and recreational areas as the sun goes down, with not bulbous-snouted beagles but some very ornery-looking red-eyed German Shepherds. Hopefully you’ve arranged such plans as to avoid a Halloween with hellhounds!






Events potentially occurring in the immediate future:

• Under pretense and/or motivation of current eco-terrorism and drug scares, from here on out until any further notice, depending on past actions, reincarnates will be at risk of active approach by unfriendly or dubiously-desirable parties - police and potentially otherwise.

Players of characters at the HIGHEST RISK of confrontation, investigation, or similar trouble are marked down to be contacted via surprise PM or Private Plurk within the near future to begin plotting accordingly.

If you are unsure if your character would be at high risk - or if they’ve simply done commendably at laying low and you’re open to seeing who or what they may run afoul of by happenstance - please, sign them up in the appropriate thread below this post to know to let us know you’re open to them receiving trouble, preferably with a run-down of what they’ve been involved in, where they’re visible, and/or where they might have invited or run the risk of inviting attention so we can tell you exactly what’s in store for them if chosen!


If you receive a PM or Plurk, you may opt out!







Potential Echo Opportunities

Visits to Tuning Towers will, again, continue to grant Echoes indefinitely - for anyone willing to get that close to the police! Echo opportunities are also likely to present themselves in instances of trouble that characters may wind up in in the weeks to come.


Please direct questions regarding these plot points to the thread below and not the post in general.

Thanks x3! Follow-up question: would Alex overhear/learn of any information that has not been made public (IC-wise) while he was at the scene?

Funny thing is, she'll probably give them both a run for their money, if she can tap into some muscle memory.

this is definitely what i was planning on, he's no where near real newtype-reflex level yet so the playing field will depend on skill and willpower!
argents: (right back to you)

[personal profile] argents 2013-10-26 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
YOU'RE ON.
argents: that bind us together, forever. (you let it fall)

[personal profile] argents 2013-10-26 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
that works for me! since i'm tagging you in a million places anyway below i mentioned an open post maybe once the bombing aftermath clears up, if there's any place you'd want me to include where they could meet up?

I don't mind waiting at all! I did a bit of question bombardment, it's understandable.

Excellent! What sort of information would he be able to get from them? Type of bomb used, if they'd seen anything like it, potential for chemical/radiation type stuff, any leads, etc.?

I suspected it would have a very high chance of not ending terribly well, as well as him not actually getting much information! Obviously I'd hope he could eventually get something of use, but I'm absolutely in favor of the heightened risk. :D

So the second stage of that question! Would it be possible for him to be the arresting officer for some of the characters who've been volunteered for incidents? Either as something he was assigned to do, or arresting them on his own initiative? (Though I imagine the second would require plotting between myself and the player, so I would definitely be hitting people up for volunteers there!)

Apologies, another question! How long is the restriction of traffic into and out of the city going to last?
detectivetroll: (Default)

[personal profile] detectivetroll 2013-10-27 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome! You guys are rockstars <3

I'm up for him to be involved with any surprise or incident sign-up arrests, then!

Nick here has come up with a brilliant plan that is 100% foolproof and can in no way backfire at all: he's going to try to infiltrate the corrupt officers by making himself seem like someone who'd be a good candidate to be one of them, in the hopes that he'll be able to find out what they know and what they're up to. yeah it's probably going to end terribly

WHICH MEANS that even though he'd been starting to show obvious signs of siding with the network, he's now going to go completely in the opposite direction. He's going to try to remain anonymous on the network and help however he can, but he's going to withdraw a lot from it. He'll probably try to contact anyone who already knows he's a cop to warn them about it, especially people he's friends with.

It's highly likely that he'll be involved in the arrests of network members, either by being assigned to it or by catching someone who's being dumb and... being a jerk and bringing them in. Or if, by some miracle, someone wants to volunteer to be arrested, which he'd prefer but doubts would happen.

SO YES. Anyone who wants to get their character arrested interested in having Nick bring them in, either because Nick's a jackass or because they volunteered?
