Plot Post for November 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 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.







State of current events:

• The Numbered's own Octavia Serket ([personal profile] drama8om8) and Alan Hunter ([personal profile] wirsinddiejager) began an unorthodox vigilante investigation of Thunder Corp.'s business in Tuning Towers with a break-in to and diversionary attack on the upper floors on the night of November 11th and have as the night of the 14th been rescued from detention by their fellows; a hunt is now announced as on for a pair of young vandals and the suspected terrorist organization - so the authorities say - that they represent.

Serket and Hunter's names and photographs are on the news as the perpetrators of the break-in who escaped holding in the raid on the police station on the 14th - and where the police are at work identifying and locating the rest on what leads they have (notably at the identified vandals' school of attendance Locke City High), one may notice that spells of civilian space-out - semi-regularly, for less than thirty-second periods - follow them.


• For better or for worse, current events are doing nothing to relieve the atmosphere of panic and paranoia in Locke City or do a thing for the city's evolving reputation - current events coverage of all forms is buzzing with talk of all the inexplicable and bizarre goings-on. Rumors and speculation circulate and bend through independent sources and features on exactly what is going on in the city; there is no shortage of conspiracy theories that can be dug up attempting to explain the connections between any and all currently-controversial local or federal parties on the so-called eco-terrorism scare. Fueled by the internet, new urban legends abound, from the peculiarly-isolated rash of lethal disease afflicting the city's pigeons to rumors of cockroach men in the sewers and a brilliant explosion in the sky over the city outskirts the night of November 1st.

More general news media has, meanwhile, in addition to the predictable, begun calling attention to a somewhat particular handful of missing persons cases - out of which the most publicized and likely outstanding by far are those of Mikasa Bito ([personal profile] erenplz), fifteen-year-old daughter of a Thunder Corp. employee and suspected innocent victim of hostility toward the company; and the reclusive local sculptor David Proud, whose work was previously so prominently displayed in the local museum.


• Access to the bombed areas is still restricted - however, as thorough examination and cleanup ends so Thunder Corp.'s rebuilding can begin, despite any effort to keep it entirely quiet to avoid causing further scene, some word has leaked out that the bombings have proven to be disturbingly odd, with reincarnates affiliated with the police able to catch wind of the factual details: whatever method used hasn't left a trace of evidence of conventional bombing, no radiation, chemical traces, and even minimal fire - with nothing brought to light pointing to some alternative method.


• The mission headed by Ravindra Savarna ([personal profile] healspec) in the city's undergroung did not result in accomplishment of its participants' declared goal: to find the producer of and stop that mysterious buzzing noise. Thus, its presence in reincarnates' heads goes on - at least for any of the newly-numbered it ought to be easy to tune out! Also remaining in place are the likelihood of witnessing groups of citizens falling under a "zone-out" effect and the amount and degree of presence by the police (both as described on October's plot post).






Events occurring in the immediate future:

• No obvious changes in the state of things to occur presently are apparent. If the silence - or rather the buzzing - is too deadly for you, either keep your head low as long as it lasts or take advantage of the room in which you've still got to move!






Events potentially occurring in the immediate future:

• As it looks as if their opposition is getting more restless - and, as it would seem, more reckless - the Enemy will be likewise getting bolder and more intent in bringing them under control.

Any player-run plots and events that would run the risk of drawing attention to player characters will run the risk of being "crashed" - participants and/or organizers of any, know that you may be contacted before or in the early stages of any such plot to approve/opt out and plot outcomes and developments accordingly.

On the other hand, just as before, feel free to leave and/or update a comment for your character(s) to the sign-up thread under our previous plot post if you're interested in trouble finding them on its own!

In either case, if you receive an event PM or Private Plurk, you may opt out!






Potential Echo Opportunities

Visits to Tuning Towers for the first time after October 23rd will continue to grant Echoes indefinitely - for anyone willing to get that close to the police! Unique incidents, investigations, and other current and forthcoming events are also liable to yield Echoes for reincarnates involved.


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

Soooo... there may be a group going down to talk to the guy in the subway that Bakura found. Chris is going to be working out some spy stuff and Bakura will be having Diabound do surveillance periodically. He still down there? Any details they'll find in the surveillance phase?

I know Julien and Aaron are going to try and investigate the bombed out parts of the DD! Ranger and spy with complimentary abilities, what fun. |D I'd rather that was just those two and anything they find, if they find anything, though.

Julien's likely to be injured late this month or early the next. That is also the time when his hearing changes and he starts hearing storms and oceans and mountains and things, and needs people talking to him.

I'll get up a post about changing behavior in the pigeons in the next week or so; basically some are growing to corvid-level (or dolphin-level, elephant-level, orangutan-level, toddler-level...) intelligence, and deviating a little from standard pigeon behaviors. Not by much, or not right away, but it's there if you look.

When Luke echos back items that are refillable, (his wallet, the bomb bag, the bow), will he be able to find rupees/bombs/arrows in pots or by cutting grass? Or would that have to be a separate echo? In the game itself simply having the item causes the possibility for items to spawn, so I'd prefer to not have to echo them separately, but if that's too over powered I'm more than willing to heavily limit the frequency of the item spawns.

Assuming he also takes nap breaks and the like?

And does he resemble any photos of David Proud?

thanks to plurk i wanna do this Hey hey hey, wanna write for the internet?

Miles got an idea. Just a dumb little idea. See, things are pretty crazy in the city right now, and Miles is thinking of commenting on it in such a sarcastic and snarky way that only a highly intelligent teenager can muster, like a Cracked.com article.

"[insert number here] Ways That Locke City is the Site of the Future Apocalypse"

^ working title

Who wants to co-author with him? He doesn't have an account yet, but if he'd make one it'd definitely not be in his name. If your character has one though, we could work that out! We could handwave him privately contacting your character with the offer, if you'd like.

OOCly, I would also appreciate a co-author or a bunch because I don't think I'd be at the cracked.com level juuuust yet =n=;;

WHEATLEY IS KIND OF STRESSED OUT. This is stressing him out. He's been laying low and hasn't been doing much with regards to the infiltrations and rescues because I have been really busy at work he is kind of scared shitless of the repercussions. Rest assured that when people start coming back with results/information he'll probably...berate them and tell them what a terrible idea it all was and continue to be super unhelpful as far as actually accomplishing things goes. That's just how he do. He is pretty sure all the zoning out is actually mind control.

THAT SAID with all the current happenings I think I'd like to start having him put himself out there for computer/hacking/info mining help, perhaps with regards to all that missing persons stuff if any other technologically inclined guys are interested.

And, of course, I am always open to more adventurous types dragging him into trouble if a whiny liability sounds like fun. HE HASN'T HAD AN ECHO IN A WHILE this is a thing that should probably change.
shiromadoushi: (Side smile happy happy)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-11-17 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Probably~

Will he need someone to sit on him so he doesn't make the bad idea the worst idea? :D

Lyall is in on this okay. Bakura can't shake his worrywort teacher :| ... just don't do it Sunday night >.> Cuz that's full moon night.
shiromadoushi: (Small smile)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-11-17 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe he can be down with them in network? Bakura can keep an open video connection for him.

(because he's pretty sure this is going to end badly. Anthony is mission control, not groundlings no matter how badly he wants to be cannon fodder, far as Bakura is concerned.)

i think he probably is going to try and drag davin into it for that purpose but yeah really he needs people to watch his back so he doesn't do something completely idiotic and end up with more than a broken arm this time around.
shiromadoushi: (Anime: Awesome Awkward Face)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-11-17 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
... VERY GOOD POINT, THIS.

How soon is he going to be recovered? I have nooo idea when this is going down at this stage, so...

...hi I'm back again with more police questions, I swear you guys are fabulous for putting up with me.

What are the police being told about Serket and Hunter's escape? What were the two charged with, why were they being held in jail, what are they suspected of, are there any rumors going around the station about who they're involved with or who may have broken them out?

Are the cases of Mikasa and David Proud being pushed to be solved? Homicide departments are usually also responsible for missing persons (or so says my police research, in any case, which may or may not actually be correct), so is pressure involving those two cases coming on Nick and whatever detectives are in charge of those cases, or were they officially assigned by the sheriff or someone in higher power, given their high profile?

And finally (although I figure this question may be dependent on how Nick and Sherman's chat goes, so no worries if the answer needs to be held off until that goes further along), is Nick being told anything different re: all of the above than the rest of the police are?

I have nothing planned really with Audrey, besides practicing duets with some people and such. If your character is interested, you can feel free to hit up her inbox and just say you heard about it on the network.
shiromadoushi: (Yo!)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-11-17 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Lyall's also on tap for being the Adult of the group. Bakura would be totally good with Davin being in the group if he wanted to come. Wonder Twin powers!

He recovers within about an hour from the bone-breaking, and give him a full night's (day's) sleep and he's good as new otherwise. Doing it on a school night might not be best, anyhow, though. Since there's at least one student and teacher going... hrm.
