Mod Announcements / PLOT POST

Heya guys, this is pretty long overdue but here we go...!

First off, thank you thank you thank you to everyone who threw in a mod application over the last week. I know it's cheesy, but it really warms my heart to see people so invested and interested in the future of this game; above everything else, it's our full intention as the mods to continue making this as enjoyable as possible for all of you, and I can't even begin to express my gratitude for the patience you've shown us. THANK YOU.

With that said, we have brought on two more peeps as full mods- Blue and Krystal, who will be now be helping on everything from the plot to... well, basically everything. :D They will soon be available to answer questions and will before long begin such things as processing apps and Echoes as well. WISH THEM LUCK.

And now, what many of you have been waiting for more information on I know-

Current happenings and info on the upcoming plot.

• For now, everything listed on the last plot post remains pertinent, including what little info can be dug up on David Proud. Where he lives and currently works from are a mystery, any past addresses for either a dead end, with people who have never heard of him living where he used to - and employees who haven't seen him in years, respectively.

• Some time during the last few days, the forum where "No One" first put forward the idea of negotiating has gone down after the replies tapered off. How odd.

• There is also a new addition to what can be seen at the museum. Nearby the suspicious wolf statue, there is a cage behind a roped barrier, and in the cage is one of these things, a Galah. While odd enough on its own, should any of the reincarnated characters get near it, it will promptly begin to Freak Out, which will quickly be noted by at least one of the security guards stationed in the area.

For those who have a very keen eye, they may notice that the bird seems to have tiny humanlike thumbs where a wing's alula would be, and its eyes are a little... off. Similar to touching both statues, setting off the bird will cause suspicion to rise, albeit far more sharply. Exactly when it begins settling down (in other words, when whoever is making it agitated leaves) will be noted as well.

• Up until now, entering the mine has not proven to give participants anything interesting, but starting the twelfth, Wednesday, is when anyone who happens to wander in may meet the Sage of Earth. As mentioned before, he will only be willing to give answers once more people have gathered within the mines. He's also fully willing to wait a few days for people to be informed and gathered.

THIS IS A TRAP. Sorry.

All of those who are physically present for the Sage's speech - aside from an automatic Echo - will be subject to a yet to be seen unhappy time of things during their visit, whereas they will be in danger of losing their lives. Please keep this in mind when planning whether or not your character will attend.

I know many of you have already been laying out plans, so I'll let you continue on with that with this new kink thrown into the mix too. I strongly suggest that things be forward-dated here by at least a few days, so we don't run into as many continuity snags like with the hunting and fighting the werewolf/dog police- and so that anyone who might be connected to the network at the same time things are happening in the mines may have a chance to react in real time as well.

As always, please direct questions for the mods regarding these plot points to the thread below and not the post in general. Thank you!

Oh man. I was planning on not having Sam attend since Joshua would be buuuuut if Tamara goes...particularly if that log of ours goes a certain way, he'll probably want to tag along just to be her knight keep an eye on her.

(Or we could have Sam not go, find out later how dangerous it was and be EXTREMELY UPSET and clingy toward Tamara, lol.)

That's up to you really! If he goes it's leaning my choice for appropriately traumatic echo to be that one scene though and being really mean and making it look like both of them have a horrible fate.

[personal profile] wordsgate 2013-06-11 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
...That's really, really tempting. Like, super tempting. And also possibly fitting for an idea I had for when that echo comes up, maybe.

FFFF if we do that I'll probably want Sam to actually get badly injured, though.

[personal profile] formermagicalgirl 2013-06-11 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? What sort of idea? And yes, it's tempting indeed, especially with them both ending up thinking that their other selves come to a bad end and not a happy ending.

Of course, if he gets badly injured enough, could end up being a canon recurrence as well.
wordsgate: Looking scuffed up and worried. (♪ Injured)

[personal profile] wordsgate 2013-06-11 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Well, this is melodramatic like whoa, but even before I knew I had a Takako around here I thought to myself "If I get a Takako and Sam ends up getting an Echo of his death scene, I kinda want it to happen as a canon reoccurance where he gets injured protecting her and, between the Echo and being dazed from his injury, gets confused and thinks for a moment that he is Sasame and says something like "I missed you, Takako.""

but, uh, yeah, melodramatic like whoa. Plus maybe a little too much since they've only known each other for a few months. And I am a little concerned that maybe too many of his echoes have him focusing on Tamara...hmm. :|a

Aww, but that is kinda cute! I would kind of like it to end up being a canon recurrence myself, just you know, not with him getting killed of course!

Maybe we could do it that way and then the meeting the Sage echo is something else entirely, like an ability or a memory not related to her. See, originally I was going to go for something silly and useless, probably from when she was acting as Mikage, either the chat with Himeno where it's assumed she has boy problems or Mikage being ready with a replacement chair when Himeno fell through it thanks to Mayune's prank or something because I'm lacking in useless ones myself.

LOL yeah, definitely want to avoid the death part! Particularly this early in the game.

Oh, yeah, I wasn't thinking about the fact that he'd get a separate Echo if it's a canon reoccurance! There we go, I could give him a useful ability, or a memory unrelated to Takako, and we can still have the slightly overdramatic near-death Echo. Yay!

[personal profile] formermagicalgirl 2013-06-11 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
And I guess I'll go for useless and overdramatic myself since I am lacking in random useless ones.

And have an idea now that will be funny. I think I'll go with Mikage's maid outfit.
wordsgate: Smiling, his eyes scrunched up in amusement. (♪ LOL)

Ooh, nice one! XD Sam will probably tease her about that when he's not wounded.
