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!
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.
