PLOT POST FOR APRIL 26th

[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;

• Following the conflict with the 'werewolves' in the Dead District they have vanished, ordered to withdraw. Why? Who can fathom. However, the snake statue remains up in the area.

---

Events occurring in the immediate future:

• Nothing detectable for a period. A short breather period before the inevitable reactions come along. Perhaps now is the time to organise and speculate on the situation, as that is surely what the enemy are doing.

---

Events potentially occurring in the immediate future:

• Once the snake statue is destroyed... Nothing detectable for a period, but there will be a response. A slight change of the situation has occurred due to the fact the 'werewolves' were encountered first, however. The statue is now under observation by a few enemy agents posing as homeless people. Preemptively, they don't smell unusual or act unusually. Also... characters are pretty likely to get their asses kicked if they do start a fight.

---

Potential Echo Opportunities

Until the snake statue is destroyed, it can still be used to receive an Echo if anyone hasn't already. Although unlikely, if characters do enter conflict with the enemy agents they will receive an Echo.

---

Another note;

If you want to run through assumptions of what occurred during the 'werewolf' encounters, feel free to do so here.

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

Audrey's been closed up in her room for the past bit since her initial post on the network, re-reading former posts and noting down events and such. I'm planning to have her come forward with a few questions to ask once I've finished with the notes and such. I'm up for doing something with those notes eventually, since I haven't decided how she'll keep them so no one on the network may read them.

Also, I'm still very interested in getting in on the snake statue action. The werewolves were a little much for a rich girl like Audrey but she would be quite curious about the snake statue itself. Have I missed it being mentioned on the network or anywhere else perhaps that would give her a reason to go investigating it?

[shiromadoushi]

It was mentioned a few times, most recently this post about tearing it down that might be a good spot for her to get in on it?

[searchforpeace]

Yesss, that's perfect, thank you!

[formermagicalgirl]

If you aren't up for destroying it maybe we could have a group go look. Maybe like around 4 or so of the college students who could easily fake that they got lost or they needed to find an interesting piece of art in the city for a school project or something. In a group they could likely get in and out safely as long as they don't try to hurt anyone here.

I know I'd like to have Tamara check it out as well but she's not wanting to risk it without at least safety in numbers.

[searchforpeace]

I like this idea. She offered to go tear it down as well but I'd really like her to get a chance to have a look at it as well.

[formermagicalgirl]

Sounds like a plan and looks like Colette would want to come as well. So sounds like we'd be set with maybe one or two more students.

[searchforpeace]

I love this idea!

[formermagicalgirl]

Great! And considering the timeframe, probably want to run with Friday afternoon so we can ensure that they get in before the statue gets destroyed and since that could be Friday or Saturday still.

If needed, we can handwave gathering folks via a post since we can get volunteers here and put up a log for it, or one of us can write one real quick backdated to yesterday. I can do one with no problem, Tamara was likely to post offering fake student IDs as well for a nominal fee to cover materials since that is likely to become useful soon enough.

[searchforpeace]

You're just full of good ideas. This would work out very nicely, particularly those fake student IDs.

[formermagicalgirl]

Yeah, I had a feeling fake student IDs will be useful for the college students in the future. I remember when I was in school we never carried a license unless we had a car or were buying alcohol.

But I'll go ahead and get a post set up to gather folks and then post a log later today, all backdated.

[angelskills]

Colette would probably go! Girl's day out?

[formermagicalgirl]

That could definitely work as well! They go and fake like they are looking at it for a project for an art class and then go somewhere to discuss findings. That excuse also would work to give them a reason to sketch it as well.

[angelskills]

Perfect! I like this plan.

[formermagicalgirl]

All right, so just a matter of getting maybe 1-2 more girls along and setting some specifics. I'm guessing Colette would offer the tea parlor her family owns as a place to meet up afterwards to talk things over?

And we likely want to look at Friday afternoon since the statue may be gone Friday night.

[angelskills]

Yeah, she'd be more than happy to bring them back there so they can have privacy while talking about the statue.

Friday afternoon makes sense to me!

[formermagicalgirl]

Sounds good. I'll be making a backdated post to gather folks and then post a log later today.
