Season 1 End and Inter-Season Interlude Announcement!
Season 1: END
As of the rampage in Wise Snake on March 9th, 2014, Save the Earth: Season 1 has officially ended - and so has the reincarnates' secrecy.
The catastrophe and the scenes surrounding it are lighting up the news, on not only a state or national but global level - footage of raging snakes the size of live-and-moving stone dinosaurs, giant robots, exotic weapons and superhero costumes, displays of apparent magic, and live interviews with some of the unreal people who've presented themselves have appeared on screens on every continent, and at the center of it all is Locke City.
The F.B.I. have moved in to identify and investigate whichever strange people they can get a lead on, including but not at all limited to those caught on camera - and, in wake of certain (*ahem*) allegations against the L.C.P.D., local law enforcement on a level that isn't strictly cooperative. Thunder Corp. are taking advantage of the current state of things (i.e. SHAMBLES!) to expedite the improvement of their public image, offering their engineering technology - the technology that allowed that as-of-yet still closed fortress in the Dead District to be completed in less than two months - toward rebuilding of Locke's ruined business district.
The Enemy are cleaning up after themselves further from the publicized disaster zone as well: the alien is gone, and so is its base. One may return to the farmhouse if they wish; they will be met with no retaliation or danger. They will find the grounds looking cleaner than ever, and inside, absolutely nothing - no electronic doors, no high-tech security, no sterile rooms or cages in the basement - but the interior of an utterly innocent farmhouse.
As for the general public, they've got nothing to clean and no duties to cover - but nearly everyone is reacting. Theories are popping up with minimal evidence to go on running a gamut - some are staunchly insisting (a safe distance away from Locke) that the entire thing's an elaborate hoax, while others, with a particularly wild set of groups in the Western half of the United States, are spinning ambitious theories with what little the news has given them. Who or what are these people? Where are they coming from? Why now? Who or what "gives" them their powers - and how does a person get them?
For its duration, no brand-new pieces of plot which demand player reaction - or will likewise react in an non-easy-to-avoid manner to player action - will be introduced. You are free and highly encouraged to backtag, wrap-up, and play out a last few plots as you will before the scale of everything dials up!
For players (and characters) who would like a bit more work to do, however, remember that Locke City's superheroes (or monsters, or mutants, or aliens, or what have you) are hot news - would you care to get some reincarnate voices doing Numbers Club public relations in the between-season stretch?
We will un-sticky the Wise Snake attack log on March 16th - if you still have anything to begin or complete on it, please save the post if you must!
In its place, a Catch-All Media Outlet post will go up, in which you can and may specify exactly what your character might have contributed to the news or watercooler and how. You're all free to tag each other on this post - and may receive NPC tags with notes of potential responses or prompts for interim "discussion" and drumming-up of specific buzz on the reveal of the paranormal!
This isn't limited to painting a favorable (or at least not terribly sinister) image of the reincarnates - controversy's abound on a number of subjects, and by taking advantage of it, character actions can pay off in directly affecting the statuses of those subjects within these two weeks. One of the most glaring and vulnerable targets is the corrupt L.C.P.D. - if anyone might be able to really give the press confirmation or quelling of scandal, it would surely be the Numbers Club.
However, in preparation for that post, to both plan and to ensure that no character's contribution goes un-taken into account, please post what your character might do and/or how they might speak out regarding the current state of affairs to the appropriate header comment below this post!
Thank you so much, everyone, for all of your interest and enthusiasm - we couldn't have possibly gone this far without a glorious playerbase, and we can't wait to see how Season 2 unfolds with your participation. May you, likewise, find where we're going to be well worth your while, and well worth the wait!
CHARACTER MEDIA/PUBLICITY ACTIVITY?

At some point, he may also have mentioned that he has two poorly-behaved dogs in order to cover for the many times in which he found himself chasing werewolves.

My boys will be avoiding the press like the plague.
Re: CHARACTER MEDIA/PUBLICITY ACTIVITY?
Granted, he'll need to prove himself trustworthy of it (ha ha ha vampire, blood), but that's not as immediate a concern right now. Right now, he needs to get his ass protected somehow from an attempt by the corrupt faction of Locke PD to shut him up permanently. I imagine the sex scandal hubbaloo, while baseless, will help in keeping Locke PD from making any risky moves.
He won't mention Nick as the one who helped him out of his grave, nor will he mention's Nick's ability to turn monster-people into regular-people.

he'll also call the aliens "Gardeners", after he's explained that the police/Thunder think they're aliens.

Also she was responsible for any and all footage of a giant red robot body-slamming the big snake. The most interesting thing to come out of the FBI investigation into that thing is that it's mostly biological.

Re: CHARACTER MEDIA/PUBLICITY ACTIVITY?
As such he kind of got popular on youtube as "a real life anime guy". He never showed his face on video thanks to his mask so his secret is still somewhat safe. But if someone asks, he won't deny it anymore. He can't because of his voice.

Anais got caught on camera. Um. A lot. She was being pretty open about protecting people and healing them so I can only imagine she can only hide so long.
no subject
He is on the police force, and apparently one of the front-runners (among the police) in being tied to the sex scandal given his history, so.
Re: CHARACTER MEDIA/PUBLICITY ACTIVITY?
Teagan's company (Rain Enterprises) owned quite a few buildings in the area that was destroyed, and he was on the news talking about a rebuilding effort and the hope to rebuild what was destroyed better and more sustainability by before. The company is also calling for volunteers for the effort, though he won't be managing/hiring them himself. He will be spending some time being hands-on during the rebuilding effort but for most people all this really means is another big company CEO on the news, who in this case just happens to also be on the network.
When asked about the 'superheroes' he's been rather short with the reporters and saying that has nothing to do with him and he'd rather stay on topic. Even when it was brought up that he was seen with a shotgun. Woops.
As an aside, there is also a bush of Athalas now growing in one of the destroyed areas, because its a fast growing weed and he had a plant in his destroyed office.
Unsure if this really affects anyone outside my direct CR but I hope it's useful to someone.
EDIT: So if there is anyone numbered who works for a big company but you never specified what company, the position of the person responsible for organizing volunteers for the repair effort is totally open. Having that person be numbered would be lots of fun.
EDIT2: MODLIES. I know I brought this up to you before and it was okay, but now that I'm reading this I'm realizing that this means that Rain Enterprises will be working directly with Thundercorp. I just wanted to run that by you too before I hit send on my saved draft of a post.

He tried to flee Locke but turned back after being recognized. After that he's kind of in a bad state for a while. Might see about going out, though, at some point. Julien's ill-suited to lying low for very long.

LAAAAAATE

This is pretty much consequence-free, it's just a bunch of kooks coming up with wacky reincarnate 'headcanons' more or less that I'll be doing a post about in a few days.
no subject
Which also begs an additional question: Are the FBI going to look at these mechas and give them anything they can or can't say in regards to them in order to keep the peace on their end?
PC COPS
That means PC cops who have wormed their way into Sherman's good graces are on their radar: Karl, Melissa, and Nick.
Sherman will instruct his officers to act cooperative without actually giving anything away.
The FBI will question them.
With that in mind, what will your character do?
---
PC cops that are not in Sherman's circle (Keith, Kotetsu, Maxwell, and Yuji) have the option of being interviewed by an FBI agent or not. If your character was interviewed, please let us know what information, if any, they shared with the FBI.
Thank you!

Re: PC COPS
ILLEGAL ARRESTS
Unfortunately, in the case of Alan and Octavia, they will still maintain their trespassing and vandalism charges on their records. They will not have to pay any fines or do any community service.
And Ray still has unpaid parking tickets to attend to if he hasn't already.
