PLOT POST FOR APRIL 16TH

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.

Yuuya's birthday is the 25th! which I realize is next week, not this one. Thinking about what I could get him. It sounds like things might get exciting by then...

I want to decide. On one hand, pigeon color vision, which is obscene and would be useful. (Was there blood here? A palm? Various cleansers? A week ago? They all left their own fading colors.) Also he'd sound like he's tripping when he talks about the colors, man.

On the other hand, pigeon lungs (small and no diaphragm) so he's unable to take a deep breath and has to get someone to come to the apartment and have his niece let them in and if you hurt or scare her, and then the next echo (...very soon. For his birthday? Before it?) is of pigeon air sacs and then hey, basically never out of breath and always more oxygenated than you. Force some CR and foreshadow a later thing, though he'll forget about it.

ETA: I wonder if he could get little lungs from a "werewolf" encounter, they don't shrink completely until he gets home, and the air sacs from DnD or something.
