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.

A group wants to go and look at the statue on Friday during the day. Considering the presence of agents there, what is likely to happen?

Mostly they want to get a sketch (and also possibly some pictures) and then also look at it to see materials and such. They will definitely look obviously like students and if asked claim to be doing research for a project for their art class.

And random question not related to current plots, but may as well ask. How easy or hard would it be to make a fake student ID for the university for someone with pretty good photoshopping skills? Just something that looks legit since I know she'd not have the skill yet to fake the magnetic strip on the back to gain access to places with it.

Extensive observation will be taken of anyone who shows up. The point is that the agents are undercover, so they're not going to confront anyone in the interest of getting as much information about who is hanging around a statue specifically designed to drive people away as possible.

As for the IDs, if she has the means to print on plastic, probably not very hard? What is she intending to use it for?

You know that reminds me, was there anywhere where a picture was given of this statue? I looked on the old plot posts and other info posts and couldn't find one.

And she's intending to use them more if she has to provide ID for any reason to people. Basically, better safe than sorry and it's likely to take some time before she can fake government issued IDs.

I know that ICly it's been shown and described a couple of times; the first visual-based instance that comes to mind at least is Bakura's post about his camera being stolen. If you mean OOCly as in like an actual picture... no, it's made up.

In that case, yeah, she's free to try if she has the means!
