Plot post for (late) July 11th

[theearth]

It's been quiet, hasn't it? That's about to change.

Everyone who signed up here will be getting a super-special PM from us soon- PLEASE CHECK YOUR MESSAGES ON THE ACCOUNT YOU REPLIED WITH.

PMs status: All sent. If you signed up and did not receive a PM, please check first doubly, then contact us.

Basically, the next week or two is not going to be directly outlined this time, given there's about fifteen different things that chosen characters will experience or run into over the next while; how things are handled from here depends on how the characters react.

Some of you may have special instructions about plotting, but for those of you who are free to share, you're welcome to discuss here. As a side note, we won't be ruthlessly hunting down anyone who accidentally spills the beans on something or whatever, but the "please" does stay in place.

General plotting is encouraged as well, and as always, please direct questions for the mods to the specified thread below and not the post in general.

Meanwhile, bear in mind that from the time this month's strange experiences start onwards, the Locke City police department will be on the active lookout for suspicious public behavior! (Feel free to have characters in law enforcement pick up on this fact, by the way!)

Would you like to pursue the tool deal with Alex? Or maybe have them run into Home Depot, if there would be something to give either of them away?

I'm open to other ideas, too, those are just the first to come to mind.

Sure! I was going to handwave her getting her metals as finding a place on the internet or making do with what she can get her hands on, but if she can get a source nearby she'll definitely prefer to get them from there.

Recognizing each other is a problem though. Vanessa's still being all stubborn about using video, unless Alex spots her being clueless around metal stuff at Home Depot and figures it out?

If she's looking clueless, he can offer to help her (well, actually he'd offer to help or get a sale's associate, but eh) -- if she asked the same thing she did on the network (the 99/1 ratio) or something very similar, then that would be enough for him to get the ball rolling.

Does that work?

[doomedtheworld]

She'd probably be brushing off most sales associates that try to come her way but if she's frustrated she might say something that could give him a hint. So, yeah, that should work.

Did you want to set up a log or would you like me to?

[amberhearted]

Go ahead! I'd say Thursday and on is fair game.

Okay, post is up. Let me know if anything needs changing.

Looks perfect! I will tag it in the morning!!
