PLOT POST FOR MAY 19TH

[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;

• The three statues as detailed in the previous plot post remain up and adored by the public. The huge buzz surrounding David Proud has resulted in some information regarding the mysterious fellow entering public knowledge, even if he himself has yet to appear or be interviewed or ...well, anything visible. The art gallery in which he has exhibited his works, however has caved to demand and revealed a little, alongside media investigation.

David Proud is a twenty seven year old man who has lived his entire life in the Locke region. He is, due to a tragic heart defect common in his family, the only surviving member of what was once the Native American tribe that lived primarily in the Locke Region. An uneventful childhood resulted in becoming a car mechanic for several years until late last year when his art career began. Remaining in obscurity until recently, he remains reclusive and has not appeared in public often. His work was noticed by chance by Jimmy Won of Thunder Corp. and he found it inspiring enough to bring the artist to the popular eye. Proud gets all of the stone for his statues from a now closed coal mine, a place he played at as a child.

Said coal mine can be visited and for details, see the potentially occurring segment.

Events occurring in the immediate future:

• Following the 'negotiations', the enemy has had its suspicions confirmed. Instead of facing up against a complicated organization with its own agendas and resources they're facing up against a bunch of idiot yahoos who have no idea what they're doing or even why they're doing it. This, alongside the fact that interference in their operations did not cease as the Whatever on the other end of the internet requested means a change of plans.

So basically they're swapping from cautious, potential deal making to 'just kill 'em.' It's way simpler all around. To that end, a Vermedi will soon be released into Locke and will be the source of Monster Of the Week style troubles (in case you didn't feel enough like a bunch of Magical Girls) for some time. From May 23rd until May 30th, two sightings of the Vermedi per day will be allowed. One per character and it will always escape the scene once noticed. As with the 'werewolf ghosts', arranging a schedule for these and keeping in mind those who may need them more is appreciated.

On top of that some individuals whose identities are already known will be directly targeted soon.

Events potentially occurring in the immediate future:

• Visiting the long abandoned coal mine will show that security is nothing more than a rusted chain link fence with a big hole in it. It's pretty remote and nothing suspicious leaps to mind unless someone chooses to enter the mine itself instead of just the clearing it inhabits. Inside the mine, characters will be able to find a little old man who will claim to be a Sage of Earth who has been awaiting their arrival for a long time and has answers to their questions. Answers he can only give once and can only be given in the confines of the mine.

Looks like we got ourselves an underground party, although when will depend on when characters wish to do so.

Potential Echo Opportunities

As previously, the statues in the art gallery represent the potential for two Echoes by touch and one by hanging around them long enough. Meeting the Sage of Earth gets one, so anyone who wants to attend the underground party will get one. From May 23rd onwards, Vermedi nonsense will commence and from that there will be numerous Echo chances. Just seeing the Vermedi is enough to trigger an Echo. Canon parallels are a constant.

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

Given what she learned through the 'negotiations' and what she already was thinking of doing, I'd like for Audrey to come out and ask for people to organize together. Shou spoke of a conference meeting in one of his posts and so she's going to contact him directly on that then perhaps push for one.

Basically what I'd like to do here is begin gathering individuals interested in forming this 'organization' the invaders don't believe we have. Those interested in working together, sharing information with one another, building up a collective pool in order to prepare for the coming invasion.

I'm also planning for this to start triggering Audrey's memories. Mineva was the last living member of the Zabi family and so inherited leadership of the Neo Zeon group. Attempting to organize something like this will likely begin a cascade of Echoes for her.

[sinningsaint]

Sam would DEFINITELY be interested in joining any such organization. He's been thinking they need a good leader, but he's not the leader-type at all, more the "supportive type", so...yeah. Once someone competent looks like they're stepping up, Sam would be quick to want to help.

Joshua would maybe join, too. Not as sure about him.

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura's in. Even if at this stage he's preeetty useless.

[edhwierfan]

Aeron/ Arthur here has been trying to do the same, so he'd definitely be interested in helping out with this.

He made a post fairly recently so if she wants to contact him about it, we could probably work something out?

[scramasax]

Anthony and Cinderella, I think, would both be very much for this as well - even if Cinderella's motivation for it will probably begin with her thinking she's people! and pushing her way further into the dubious community the reincarnates have.

[formermagicalgirl]

You can count Tamara in on it.

[warewolf]

Wrong account, but Aragorn's player here to say that Dr. Strider's in.

[masterofbling]

Elle will probs try and team up with her down the line once she's gathered her resources. :> Trying to assemble enough funds and intel to acquire heavy-grade weaponry. They won't have it in their hands until August though? And Elle mostly stays off the network. It'd be nice to meet Audrey in person. Get an echo of Mariemaia from seeing her. 8|

[professorwolf]

Lyall's always up for sharing info, so he's in, for sure. Especially since his students already are getting in no it.

Arhu's not as likely, given he's a kitten :B

[abidan]

Em's super interested in forming something more organised - he was actually discussing something like it with Rue the other day! Let's do this thing. 8')

[iaijutsu]

Hajime is interested for sure in sharing information, although he's also likely to take cues from Toshi which may or may not wind up affecting how involved he gets.

Lucy will probably want in on that too. I suspect she'd get some great echoes about Cloche from it all.

[ursoreckless]

Shou probably will also lend what kind of hand he can with organization though ATM he doesn't have the same focus and drive as he did in his previous life. However that doesn't t mean he can't have some good ideas but it'll be just him rambling until something sounds right.

[reckless_fire]

Now that he's got at least a little control over his power, Kenji will definitely be interested.

[reapsthewind]

Chris won't like the idea of someone else being in charge, but on the other hand, having someone who isn't Casval in charge is probably a good idea. SO YEAH.

[comparative_insanity]

Fay answered Aeron's post on the matter, and he definitely is interested in getting a bit more organized \o/

[shut_up_idiot]

Youou is all for them trying to organize themselves a bit, so he will definitely join.

[twopercent]

Jack is always interested in these attempts at organization, even if he isn't really free to come and meet people in-person out in public.

[icy_heavens]

Toushirou is all for organization. Organization is awesome. He would be in for this.

[kingside]

Would like to get Lulu in on this if at all possible. I have been awful at getting him involved, augh. Uh, but yes, I swear he'll be a valuable asset even if he doesn't have too much in the way of info. He has other talents, promise.

[entertainaplanb]

Becky may not be much use in a fight for now, but she's definitely interested in helping info-coordinate, at least. She doesn't want this stuff hurting any of her students.

[steelettos]

i'd actually like for lina to get in on this. i'm just not sure how.

probably if she gets involved in the data gathering thing lulu is doing, she might jump in and offer/help out with the info gathering. making coffee is fine too!!

[argents]

well you know this isn't even really a legitimate question. count him in even if he's useless at the moment. he will white knight eventually. soon.

[exloserspromise]

Sandy will be more than happy to help with documentation-type stuff! Documentation is safe, right? :D And of course he'll lend his accountant skills if they need to start moving money around, provided there's no laundering involved because that's kind of why he wound up here in the first place.

[flamberge]

Karl/Kratos wasn't around for the initial post, but he'd definitely be interesting in joining the organization and sharing information and all that. A way to get and share information easily? Definitely worth joining.

[earnedmystripes]

Kotetsu would totally be up for organizing with Audrey and whoever joins her group :|b
