Mini Hiatus!

[bibliofilo]

I will be visiting a friend in a different state from Jan 15-19 so I will probably not be able to get to tags. I'll be bringing my 3DS with me so I will still have access to plurk and my email to chat through there, if anyone would want me for something, but otherwise I just wanted to let people know it might be a bit before I can get to our threads! I'll try to squeeze in as many tags as I can before I leave.

If anyone would like to add me on plurk, I'm at CalledVertigo

And quiet as stealthy mice, the adventurers forged on ahead.

Good evening, everyone!

This is Blue of Anthony (scramasax) and Cinderella/Rarity (destinedforrock) for a pair of reasons putting an initial plan for a third character slot on the backburner - but, through serendipitous arrangements, instead bringing in an ol' favorite character of in the form of Sir Walter Beck from the Fable video games.

Walter was the mentor figure in Fable III and is a royal advisor and former knight, is possessed of a friendly but feisty attitude, and a bit of a neurotic bent exacerbated by his sizable aversion to caves, the dark, and enclosed spaces. Reincarnated he's been renamed to William "Bill" Black, currently a security guard at a not-currently-named open-air shopping area and former prison guard, had his first Echo decades ago granting him that aforementioned knot of aversions, is married, and is the grandfather of the numbered's very own Phillip Santorini.

His info post is right here - and I am most definitely open and thrilled for any pre-existing CR or on-the-spot plotting/openness to interactions you might have! Even if no one's got a proposition I mind I'm looking forward a load to having him in the game - and hope you all likewise enjoy having him around!

Thank you!

Plotting post: Tuning Towers redux!

[healspec]

Zelos (thewinningside) and Ravi have previously discussed going back to the Tuning Towers basements and sabotaging the excavation equipment to prevent Thunder Corp from reaching Wise Snake.

Here's the thing tho: OOCly, if another Tuning Towers mission happens and they do succeed in sabotaging the equipment, it will delay season 2. Would everyone be okay with this?
And, if people in general do NOT want season 2 to be delayed, would you be okay with a mission that fails catastrophically instead?

The general idea here is that Ravi actually wants to check out that building Thunder erected in the Dead District and he thinks it might be more important than sabotaging the excavation equipment at Tuning Towers. And he is TOTALLY willing to let Zelos run a decoy expedition to the TT basements while he is secretly running one to the DD. Which means he's also intentionally setting Zelos up as the fall-guy if something goes wrong with the TT mission (Zelos-mun has said they are okay w/this).

The TT mission would be publicly planned and open to whoever wanted to sign up, but the DD mission would be on the down-low and probably planned over Chris's Darknet instead (OOCly I will find a way around this if your char isn't on Darknet but you still want them involved). Ravi doesn't want any risk of cops/Blood Keys/general idiots ruining that plan, since it's essentially another recon mission.

How do y'all feel about this? Succeed with the sabotage or fail, and if fail, how catastrophically do you want it to fail?

ETA: To be clear, Zelos is NOT going to be informed that his group is a decoy for Ravi's group. Ravi's intent is that very few people outside of the DD-mission group even know it's happening.

ETA2: Chart of sign-ups so far is here, including a second sheet for votes for a delay on season 2. I used char names to track the votes because I don't know everyone's aliases. If you want to weigh in with a vote, feel free to add it to the list.

I am going to have to say sign-ups for DD are closed. 2 MC + 10 people and a ferret is about as large as a recon mission should get.

TT sign-ups however remain open, so anybody can still get involved there.

+1 deceiver!

Hello STE! This is freshmeat Jessica speaking, bringing in Shuuya Nakano (Shuuya Kano) from that one canon with timeloops, snake grandmas, dead kids, and rad songs... aka Kagerou Project!

In canon he's a compulsive liar (and jerk) with self-confidence issues, painting it all over with a cheery facade and jokes. Reincarnated, he's a massive momma's boy, MMO addict, and... much more honest but still a huge jerk. Sorry about that. He'll be attending high school and will be making his (embarrassing) entrance on the network soon enough!

His profile is here! And because I'm a loser info about the MMO he plays is also here in case you wanna bump into him online there too.

I look forward to playing with you all!!
