MINE EXPLORATION OOC ORGANIZATION POST

[reapsthewind]

Okay, so, the post in the plot post got to be something of a clusterfuck to the point that I don't think ANYBODY knows what the hell is going on anymore. SO. OOC POST OFFICIALE ish

As related in this plot post, it has come to light that the artist who carves the freaky snake statues gets his rock from an old coal mine outside of town. A number of groups want to explore this mine!

However, inside the mine is the Sage of Earth, who has answers to our questions... which he'll only say once, inside the mine. While he's going to consent to video recording, there still has to be a critical mass of people there in the flesh before he'll speak.

THIS POST! Is for organizing groups to

1. Explore the mine area

2. Find the Sage

3. Go see the Sage for his speech

There will be subthreads for this

also if someone can find the Gdoc we had about this and keep it updated that'd be great

THE GOOGLE DOC

*e2* RE: DATES. According to Our Lovely Mods, FINDING THE SAGE CANNOT HAPPEN UNTIL FRIDAY AT THE EARLIEST. Derping/other exploration stuff can happen whenever.

THE SAGE'S SPEECH

[reapsthewind]

This is for people who SPECIFICALLY WANT TO BE THERE IN PERSON TO HEAR THE SAGE SPEAK. That is to say, this isn't finding the sage initially or exploring the area, this is IF YOU WANT TO MEET THE SAGE

Some things:

> Even if your character wasn't there for exploration, a call WILL go out to the network to the effect of ERRYBODY GET UR BUTTS IN HERE so if your character isn't inclined to explore abandoned mines but IS inclined to hear strange old men talk about things, get in here

> Please answer this thread EVEN IF you are on Team Find The Guy, so that we have an accurate headcount of everyone who wants to LISTEN to the Sage, since we need a critical mass for him to speak at all.

ERRYBODY GET IN HERE

[reapsthewind]

Chris will want to be here because she likes information :V

[iaijutsu]

Hajime is showing up for this, but I plan to only have him answer the network call rather than be part of the initial exploration.

I also don't expect that he'd actually look for a group to head down there with or anything, he'd probably just grab Souji and waltz in on his own because that's how rolls. (And also because June is graduation/traveling for funerals bonanza, and I don't want to bite off more than I can chew RPwise.)

So unless someone specifically wants him for something on the way down, no group-sorting of any kind necessary for him, he's just going to ninja in and ninja out.

[scramasax]

Anthony is definitely going to do all he can to go back on the Sage's summons, whether Lyall likes it considering the planned preceding mess or not.

[searchforpeace]

Yes, definitely for Audrey.

Re: THE SAGE'S SPEECH

[hollowleg]

Shiro has no interest in clambering around in a dank cave but he really wants to see this crazy cave hobo in person SO he will be answering the call to COME SEE THE CRAZY CAVE HOBO

[visionarykitten]

Lyall is going to this, because info is important and he wants to make sure the guy smells okay :| (Arhu/Gomez is not, despite the name I'm on right now...)

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura's totally in! THIS IS THE MAIN QUEST, GUYS. No way he's not going to want to be there for the most RPG moment of everything so far :)

[ursoreckless]

Shou is too curious for his own good and will try to see the Sage because old men living in caves giving out advice is sort of a thing that happens in legends all the time.

[formermagicalgirl]

Both of mine are inclined to hear strange old men talk about things because they like info. So you can count Tamara and Leonhardt in, though Tamara will arrive with the call over the network.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Marisa wants to get her hands on some answers. That, and possibly slander the sage with wild, baseless accusations of being behind everything.

I'm still working out the details

[reckless_fire]

Yep, Kenji will definitely want to be there.

Re: THE SAGE'S SPEECH

[elfstoned]

Aaron won't be exploring, but if he heard the call on the network, he would come. He wants answers.

[seriallylucky]

Fred yes!

Re: THE SAGE'S SPEECH

[odd_jobs]

I'm all for that!

Re: THE SAGE'S SPEECH

[testsonseashells]

Mordin will be in on this - there's no way he'd miss it.

[unfearing]

Elizabeth wouldn't miss this for the world, and Toshi might get dragged along by his people? Guys?

And if there's any way Ayden could stumble into the mine on his own or something, I could really use excuses to get him involved in anything plot related ever.

[earnedmystripes]

HI I WANT KOTETSU TO HEAR THE SAGE

/plants self in hurr

[jests]

luke would want to hear what the sage had to say personally.

Re: THE SAGE'S SPEECH

[espigeonage]

Jules has a kind of minor claustrophobia thing going on, but hearing that some of these others were coming, he'd decide he might as well.

[caosgo]

I'd like Emmanuel to get off his butt and answer the network call so he can meet some people in person, too. So count him in!

FINDING THE SAGE

[reapsthewind]

this is for team ENTER THE MINE, FIND THE GUY IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I would like a volunteer for TEAM LEADER. PLEASE NOTE THAT IIRC, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE FIND THE SAGE GROUP. I suppose it's possible that multiple teams find him at the same time, but even so, for purposes of organization we should count that as one supergroup.

THIS TEAM will post to the network upon finding the Sage with a general ERRYBODY GET IN HURR post.

[reapsthewind]

Chris, despite being scared off of the Dead District temporarily, IS a fan of urban exploration, so she'll be in this group. I WILL NOT BE LEADING THIS GROUP HOWEVER KTHX and Chris isn't Starscreamy enough to backstab for the privilege yet :V

[thepiisatruth]

The doc is right here, now reflective of current plans!

The spellchecker on my computer has marked a few names in the document. It has not marked the word "derpery".

GENERAL EXPLORATION/DERPING

[reapsthewind]

THIS is for people who don't really want to find the sage (and might not even want to meet him) but generally want to explore the surrounding area and maybe even parts of the mine that do not have Sages in them.

[italktofish]

DERPING, YOU SAY?

Arthur wants in on these exploration shenanigans, and I am perfectly willing to have him miss out on seeing the Sage entirely in favor of making NEW FRIENDS.

RE: DATE

[theearth]

Just a note, it would be best if finding and then meeting the Sage does not occur until the end of this week at the very earliest. Therefore, you've got some time to organize and maybe even do a little preliminary exploration, talking about the mines on the network and getting others interested, etc., but the real deal finding the Sage and subsequent gathering for speeches cannot happen until then or later.

Re: DATE

[reapsthewind]

NOTED, BOSS, GOING IN THE TOP POST
