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!)

sounds like a lot of push and pull which (amusingly enough) is really similar to a canon relationship he has with another tough lady who's also not that bad. in the moment he can get pretty moral high-horse hah but he's very much influenced by those he can bounce opinions off of even if it ends up as an argument, so he's pretty likely to listen, all the same.

god when she gets those echoes... banagher's echoes will be the exact opposite. he refuses to think of himself as a weapon no matter what.

and i'll head over to take a peek! the long and short of it though is that she's free to do whatever with him.

Sounds great! There will likely be many arguments between them in the future, pragmatism versus morality and all that. Vin's outlook on being a "weapon" is that it isn't necessarily a bad thing, since a weapon can be used for a good purpose as well as a bad one. Then again, she also used her powers first to overthrow a brutal, tyrannical empire and later to protect a freer, democratic society. Vanessa, on the other hand, isn't going to grow under the same conditions so she has the potential to be a much darker character which is why I'm trying to get her to have some actual friendships to balance that out.

In other words, hopefully Banagher might end up being a good influence on her as well.

And, cool! It isn't that big a deal but I figured some people might take issue with a character being able to affect their characters' emotions like that so I made that post to be on the safe side.
