PLOT POST FOR APRIL 16TH

[theearth]

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 I 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;

• The Thunder Corporation's Snake Statue remains up in the Dead District. The statue exudes a pseudo-Echo effect, which is undetectable to ordinary humans, trying to convince people to leave the area.

• In the same area, starting now, a large number of the huge homeless community within the Dead District will instead be found seeking new shelter. Should anyone question them, they will reveal they are being driven away by 'werewolves.' It is possible to encounter a 'werewolf' by coincidence by visiting the Dead District after dark.

---

Events occurring in the immediate future:

• Suspiciously quiet for now. The invasion forces are currently evaluating their opposition and making preparations. It won't last. Enjoy the quiet before the storm.

---

Events potentially occurring in the immediate future:

• Destroying the statue is a possibility. Doing so will shoot a pink light into the sky that will last a few seconds and set in motion a chain of events.

• Players may wish to put together a plan to investigate and potentially deal with the 'werewolves.'

---

Potential Echo Opportunities

The snake statue in the Dead District, and in police HQ, still offer one Echo at a touch. An encounter with a 'werewolf' will result in an Echo and successfully killing one will net one for everyone involved. Destroying the statue won't grant an Echo, but the events it will set in motion will. Canon parallels remain the constant option.

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

WEREWOLF HUNTERS COME TO ME

[secondcomingof]

So now that Casval is no longer in full on paranoia mode... he's got some huntin' to do. Because fuck no not letting this invasion happening in any shape or form.

Who's up for some werewolf slaying? He's got the guns if you've got the 'nads, kids.

[professorwolf]

As soon as Lyall hears the word "werewolf" he's going to want to investigate :| Not necessarily hunt... but investigate. Because, y'know. Canon.

He's absolutely useless in an actual hunt, though >.< Biology teacher and all.

[secondcomingof]

Yeah I'd certainly hope so. Since Casval's very much the leader type because... military, I'd like to wrangle a group together ideally to assess the threat and deal with. And since he's got access to cough questionably legal cough amounts of weaponry, no better man for the job, right?

COME ON, ERRBODY, FOLLOW THE ALCOHOLIC DRUG ADDICT TO VICTORY.

Maybe there can be separate teams? One that's not as close to the action and one that's more heavily armed? Because Casval definitely wants to be part of the latter crew, no bones about it. He's ansty and out for some "furry" blood.

[professorwolf]

At the very least, Lyall has the sniffer. He may not be good for killing, but he's good for FINDING. That may make him useful?

You've seen Jack's nads, Cap. Literally if briefly. I think you know what this means.

[secondcomingof]

More homoerotic CR?

[twopercent]

...that too my friend. That too.

[dorkytracksuit]

teabagging?

[shiromadoushi]

BAKURA WANTS TO HELP!

Buuuut lol what skills. Someone teach him some so he can be more helpful~

[secondcomingof]

ROLL FOR INITIATIVE Bakura you can beat 'em with your mad D&D skills!

Do you even know how to fire a gun kid. Seriously.

[professorwolf]

If Lyall is involved in this and finds out Bakura is he will NOT let him engage with any werewolves, thanks :|

Re: WEREWOLF HUNTERS COME TO ME

[angelskills]

Thanks to Legretta's recent echo that's made her pretty angry/resentful for no understandable reason, she'd probably be game to shoot werewolves in the face if a group pulled together for that!

[secondcomingof]

I'll be making a post with Casval Soon(tm) calling out all you gun slinging types, so Legretta would make an awesome addition! And as they have yet to meet, a good way to get some CR going, too.

As noted, if she doesn't have any weapons of her own, Casval is happy to provide. He's got guns a plenty and all the itchy trigger fingers in the world to back 'em up.

[chalicejoker]

Hajime now has memories of FIGHTING ACTUAL MONSTERS even if he was kind of an even worse monster himself at the time and few skills other than schoolyard brawling to back them up, so he'd be very, very interested in this...and would just kind of quietly hope that it doesn't go quite like the other monster-fighting he remembers.

[secondcomingof]

MISDIRECTED ANGER? Sounds good enough for me. Honestly, unlike some of you Casval doesn't particularly care if a younger crowd gets involved so longer as they prove themselves competent in some way or another, so. There's that.

[scramasax]

Kazuma-Kenji-mun and I had planned for Kenji and Anthony to have a first run-in with the werewolf some night, which I hope wouldn't be getting in the way of anything. But even after that, I think Anthony will want to get in on helping with more proper, prepared investigation!

[secondcomingof]

I must've missed this thread? I don't want to get in the way of anything either so more clarification would be appreciated on what you guys are planning exactly.

[professorwolf]

Lyall disapproves D= HE DISAPPROVES. He will be so very upset that his students got into a tangle, seriously ;.;

(But don't let this stop you :D He's just overprotective)

[icy_heavens]

I WANT MY KID INVOLVED WITH THIS but I have no idea how to have him get away with it.

Re: WEREWOLF HUNTERS COME TO ME

[elfstoned]

Aaron will come along if asked, intending to help with injuries. It'll trigger a canon-recurrance Echo, though. Giant wolves suck.

[reapsthewind]

Chris has no idea how to shoot a gun but BOY HOWDY DOES SHE WANNA LEARN

[northless]

werewolf slaying huh let's do this shit

...by which I mean Robb will tag along even if all he has is a baseball bat or something.

[espigeonage]

I don't think Julien would be up for hunting or slaying, but I'd certainly not mind him having a run in with one and someone chasing it off/killing it.

[formermagicalgirl]

Tamara would be rather useless for fighting them, but I'd be happy to have her have a run in with them and someone chase one off or kill it as well. At least that will help her become less useless!

[exloserspromise]

I felt like I should actually mention plans somewhere in this post, so Captain Late to the Party isn't actually joining the hunt because why would you ever but he'll definitely be wandering the Dead District expecting bullshit of the scientifically explainable variety.
