Plot post for December 14th
PLOTTING POST
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 we 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.
General/OOC notes:
• As noted below, there will be a Fourth Wall this round. Tell yo friends!
Events that occurred recently or are occurring currently:
• Media: The media in most of the world are unchanged: Between neutral and positive. The media in Las Vegas and the US as a whole have seen a huge shift, though: Since word has gotten out about the mafia's dealings in the city and the general corruption, pity with the numbered victims of such discrimination has risen, but people are also concerned about the violent counteractions. The public is starting to see the numbered as two groups: Victims of the situation who try to resolve things peacefully that it sees positively, and violent numbered that it sees negatively - though there are few numbered that they have slotted into either category. In Locke City, the situation is less clear, but things are shifting heavily; nobody is reporting on much yet because the political and power situation is so unclear right now that nobody knows how to step right or wrong, and what will endanger whom, but the negative reporting on the numbered has ceased and reporters are starting to gather material for when they will be able to air it. Some are sending such material to affiliated outlets outside of the city who can air it; one such person on the outside is Sophia Grace Turner.
Locke City
• The mafia's smear campaign and attacks continued, yet the numbered also continued to do their best to counteract them, through the media but also more and more through violence. Among other happenings, this included a successfully thwarted attack on the Espresso Yourself.
• A good number of reincarnates attacked a mafia meeting that many higher up mafia members attended, among them Albero. Though some collateral damage and many casualties (on the mafia side, including a goon that looked familiar) made the attack a very violent PR disaster, the numbered succeeded in their main objective: Killing Albero.
Following this, there were five days of eerie quiet over the city; though everything seemed to work as normal, everyone who is connected to the mafia (including the many businesses that had paid "protection fees") remained in a state of panicked shock, while behind the scenes people were scrambling to figure out what to do with the sudden immense vacuum of power.
Las Vegas
• The mountain colony now has all modern conveniences.
Neuschwanstein Area
• Lily (alilyinthemoonlight) informed the network about encountering Geoff and Badri on top of the Orbital Tower.
• A monster was on the loose and got taken care of by the numbered.
Events occurring in the immediate future:
• The information which was given to the media by Nick/Lyall and Saretha will soon resurface.
• On the 28th of December, Saretha (purestambition) and two other, as of yet unnamed, numbered persons will meet up with the US Secretary of Defense.
• FOURTH WALL! As per popular vote, this will happen between the 2nd and 5th of January.
Locke City
• The tense calm will suddenly collapse on the 14th of December and make way to open warfare in the streets. It's not a constant issue, but the streets won't be safe anymore due to a number of the groups that wish to replace Albero or at least get some of his power fight each other through assassinations and open shootings. A number of unrelated people will use this violence for looting and unrelated criminal actions. Police and FBI will both show a lot of presence in an attempt to combat this, but to little avail, as too many groups are involved.
This will last until the 17th, when the mayor of Locke City will declare the city to be in a state of war and request help from the military stationed at Fort Turner. Following this, the military under Terrence Miller will move into the city. For the residents, this will mean two things: An end of the violence in the streets; heavy military presence everywhere, though they for the most part are only present - there are raids, yet they are very firmly aimed at hides of Albero ....and, strangely enough, Thunder Corp property; a curfew that disallows everyone from being outside in the streets between sunset and sunrise. The curfew will be lifted between the 24th and the 26th.
• On the 18th of December, there will be the annual Christmas charity run in Locke. Characters will be aware of this happening or not having been heavily disputed, considering the general situation, yet that the spirit of "we'll not give in to violence" having prevailed. Local businesses will donate a set amount for every participant, so showing up there might not be bad PR...
Neuschwanstein Area
• The third and uppermost level of the Orbital Tower is now free for all numbered to check it out. If they do so, they will find four gundams parked there along with maintenance and military facilities and storage and surveillance rooms.
• The wolpertinger have ceased being scared, but they seem to carefully keep away from the castle.
Lapland and Christmas Island
• On the 24th, a pink light will go up over the entirety of Finnish Lapland. Very soon after this, David Graibiger and Monika Hallbach will call all members of the Numbered Special Comission Group for a trip there to check out a few things. (Sign ups for this group are still open!)
• On the 25th, a pink light will go up over an Australian territory near Indonesia: Christmas Island. For the moment, that is everything that will happen there: It's nothing but a tropical paradise! Just that some of the people who go there... well.
The thing is, there is something in the woods there that will give people that by accident come into contact with it odd behavioural patterns or habits. If your character goes there and you would like them to be impacted by this, please either comment to the general questions thread, pp Kira-mod or request an oddity on the mod contact post. None of the changes will be dangerous or even particularly dark, unless the player specifically wishes for it; they're mostly going to be strange or silly.
[edit:] And there's the crab migration going on! Clearly you've not seen enough of these in Vegas?
• [edit:] The Pink Lights all look a bit like aurorae borealis. While the one over Locke only lasted for 4 seconds, they have grown longer since; the one over Lapland lasts for almost an hour (it differs from a normal aurora by it's size - covering all of Lapland and being visible over its entirety, statically, for the whole time - and the pink colour) and the one over Christmas Island a bit over an hour.
Events potentially occurring in the immediate future:
Neuschwanstein Area
• Weird things are happening in Neuschwanstein Castle, and the mayor of Füssen would like the numbered to check this out. She will let the network know about this through one of her contacts sometimes soon.
Potential Echo Opportunities
• Encountering a ghost-like presence, a Vermini, a Vermedi, a Vermaxi, a wolpertinger, or a ghost wolpertinger for the first time grants one plot echo each.
• Using the teleporter for the first time will grant one plot echo.
• Seeing the pink light over the Christmas Island or Lapland grants one tier 2 plot echo each. It suffices if the light is seen on TV, as long as it happens reasonably close to the time of them going up and the person is within an existing echo boundary at the time.
Please direct questions regarding these plot points to the thread below and not the post in general.
