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.

BEFORE I ASK, are characters involved in incidents necessarily going to be arrested?

Not sure if it's enough but Audrey has been working quietly at her little organization of numbered individuals, all under the pretense of a gaming club. She's fairly well known as the daughter of the Zenith publishing tycoon as well.

What's the atmosphere like at Thunder Corp after this, for those working there? Particularly for those working security? 83

ALRIGHT. So... SAY.... Shiro accidentally cut himself while doing stuff in cooking class and someone yelled OH MY GOD HIS BLOOD IS BLUE.

that's.... all I've got so far on my idea, sorry about me.

I'm all up for Derek getting into more trouble. Due to his little red eye incident.

Although he probably got caught out by the police dogs while I was on hiatus. I imagine he's probably done something stupid in the meantime like, accidentally mentioned something about murder. Oops.

Asuka and several other people were involved in an incident where gunshots were fired at an Echo-generated monster, so someone might have noticed that.

Other than that she hasn't had the guts to go out and do anything suspicious, but she might now that everything's so chaotic. She'll also be seeing cops regularly as an LCU student who walks everywhere and she has the shortest temper known to mankind, so a routine stop might escalate if the cops are rude.

Also the Lutece twins ([personal profile] throughtears) have probably been suspiciously nosy about things they have no business in snooping around in.

Walter here has probably not been very good about not making it obvious that he's watching his back at work, if the cops going after one of their own would work.

I meant to ask on the last plot post, but of course, hiatus. in terms of the "large groups of people spacing out" thing, if a normal person is outside the effect radius but sees it happen, will they notice anything wrong?

maybe slowly dehiatusing, sob, so much happening but i will try. ;;

Anyone up to plot? RIKU and TONY here.

What's the 'word on the street', so to speak? Especially in the Dead District or places where small gangs or troublemakers/delinquents would hang out. Mac would probably be tapping into past connections with delinquent/troublemaking characters, and would probably try to see how they've been feeling about all this.

Re: INCIDENT SIGN-UPS

[personal profile] hawaiianheir 2013-10-23 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Mac has stayed decently good at keeping a low profile except he was totally around when a giant fire chicken sprang out of someone's Echo-having, and no one (aside from Ellie who has threatened him with all the murder if he spills she was the guard) has figured out it was him raiding the warehouse a couple months back.

However, Mac's past is littered with troublemaking offenses - nothing super majorly serious, but all the classic delinquent signs. Graffiti tagging, out past curfew, the occasional street brawl. He ran with a group called The Tunnel Snakes, which was a decently troublesome if low-threat gang that officers would have on file (since it's been brought up ICly by former officer Raul and current officer Kotetsu). Said gang has not been active for about two years now, but were active for two to three years before that.

So while he hasn't done anything major in terms of sticking his head out, he's got enough past that bringing him in in some capacity wouldn't be unreasonable.

Bombings... would that potentially be an echo for Tony if he happens to remotely witness or see the remnants of it? From Iron Man 3 and the human bombs/test subjects of AIM.

Also: if they investigated the ruins of dead man's after what would they encounter or be able to find?
deviceful: (Default)

eco terrorist here- I mean.

[personal profile] deviceful 2013-10-23 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Tony hasn't done anything but whaat are the chances of Riku getting in the crosshairs of this perhaps? I think he was actually pretty careful for the whole water event, but there's the mines if they watched that and the warehouse-- he probably practices his flashy parkour thing from time to time, too. >>

Walter hasn't been doing anything particularly noticeworthy until Sunday, when he took part in the ill-advised snake hunt with Octavia and Alan. It involved a whole lot of failure, fairyshit and tentacles, so it was probably pretty noticeable!

[personal profile] hopediesalone 2013-10-23 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Raul here left the police very visibly and on poor terms after the Occupy shutdown two years ago. He's been operating as a private investigator (occasionally bringing him back in contact with the cops), and he has a history of involvement with left-wing organizations in the city. Nothing mainly environmentalist, but certainly radical and in that general direction.

If police were to follow his movements, his involvement with the martial arts classes for the Network would probably be uncovered.

Nothing really comes to mind at the moment for Cain and Rachel.

LCU Police

[personal profile] purplepants 2013-10-23 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Since police are going to be hanging around campus, does anyone at LCU- teachers and some students, want to hash something out? Bruce would probably just make idle conversation with them in a very fidgety way, but still I can't see the increased presence of the cops in the Uni without having some kind of big discussion.

Re: GENERAL QUESTIONS

[personal profile] purplepants 2013-10-23 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
If the police presence were approached in LCU, how would they react? I don't mean like "HEY GUYS WHAT YOU UP TO?" but in an idle, almost casual, I'm-a-teacher-making-conversation way. Or would that ping suspicion? Would they also be watching close enough to notice people noticing others spacing out?

Next Monday after school is the After School Numbers Club meetup. Would it be likely for those police and/or dogs to show up there, or will they be under the radar enough? And are any particular teachers being singled out at the school for special attention (such as Lyall or Richard, the two off the top of my head who are reincarnates) or is it a more general "everybody being watched" kind of thing?

[personal profile] espigeonage 2013-10-23 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I assume it wouldn't be possible until investigators left, but, you knew it was coming: going into the bombed areas, is there anything to see? Was it bombs that were set? How many? What kind of formation, was it to destroy the buildings themselves, how thorough? Is it possible to find the sites? Can the bombs used be identified by smell/finding little bits of them in the rubble?

...Yuuya knows the smell of explosives and has surveyed recently leveled buildings before.

Danny's got a few problems that I imagine would pick him out easily for the cops:

1) Eye and hair color. The hair could be bleached, but eyes that shade of green (and eyes that are luminescent) are definitely unnatural.
2) He fucking glows.
3) He tries to wear things to cover this up--big hat, sunglasses, lots of sweaters and scarves to hide the glow, but even that looks pretty suspicious.
4) Unpredictable intangibility issues that cause him to nearly vanish from sight at some times and get him stuck in things at others. The police might find him with an arm halfway through a traffic light pole on his way home from school or something.

(or they could see him bleeding green goop, which I imagine would definitely be cause for concern, but he does a lot less of that in public than the other stuff above.)

Also he is the son of the local conspiracy theorists who did accurately predict the water poisoning weeks before it actually happened, which might also make him more of a target.
