Plot post for July 30!

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 I 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.




Events occurring currently;
• The Vermini swarms have disappeared for the most part, and there's no sign of Vermedi either. Some characters may glimpse hairy figures in dark alleys or in sewers, but the creatures always disappear as soon as they are spotted.

• There are an unusual amount of police patrols out and about in the city. Any suspicious activity will be noticed, though there are no immediate IC consequences.

• We also have two super secret event opportunities that have not been claimed. Two commenters to the thread below will be randomly selected for this plot.




Events occurring in the immediate future;
Beginning Friday, August 2, there will be something in the water. Drinking any tap water will result in occasional, uncontrollable fits of laughter, along with re-experiencing previous Echoes, especially memory Echoes. One Echo per 8oz glass of water, and the beginning of its effects can be delayed for up to an hour. Within six hours it'll be out of the character's system completely.




Events potentially occurring;
• If PCs wish to investigate Thunder Corp this week, comment to the thread below with a general idea of how you plan to get in and what you plan to do once you're there. Details will be forthcoming on a case-by-case basis.





Potential Echo Opportunities:
• Drinking the tainted water will grant one new Echo (and only one, no matter how much water is drunk) in addition to any re-experienced ones. Uncovering any secret information about Thunder Corp will also grant an Echo. Canon parallels are a constant.

Cool, cool! At some point Julien will likely post about it.

FOR ALEX, I think it's inevitable that Alex will be drinking some tap water and gettin' the giggles, probably at... home...

BUT I AM REALLY OPEN TO HAVING THIS HAPPEN ELSEWHERE IF WE CAN SWING IT. I definitely want to get him out more, he's been kind of closed off this month because of "oh shit heart stopped, oh shit need blood" dramas. (EDIT: maybe at Starbucks (they use tap water, right?) or a convenience store?!)

Sadly, I'm not very good at making up general open posts, though I'm still working on one... But yeah!! I am open to pre-existing and new CR alike!

--

FOR FRAN, not sure if I'll be keeping her. This was a busy month for Alex, so she got shafted. I will likely incorporate the tainted water in an effort to get into a groove with her and I am definitely open to CR, as well!

--

Sadly, neither are really really into INVESTIGATING!! Thunder Corp right now, though Alex is leaning more towards finally taking a pro-active stance on all this crazy stuff. So if he does get involved with the current investigation, it'll be because he's tagging along, not instigating.

Hajime's still stuck as a giant bug, going to go stir crazy and make a really ill-advised jaunt outside for a little bit, and probably be a strange occurrence in and of himself. But at least he'll be able to turn human again after drinking the water. |D

Arthur will be drinking the water, and he'll be getting some water-related power back, probably breathing underwater because nothing could go wrong under these circumstances.

I'm not sure what Mort will be doing. He's still a little mopey now that his brother's gone, and he'd probably have one doozy of a memory flashback if anyone were to be near him if he drinks the water.

Signing up Arthur for this month's mystery plot, since Mort got to do it last time and Hajime's been busy being a giant bug.

Lyall is going on vacation come next week Tuesday, and then will be gone for a week and a half/two weeks/something like that, but I'll have to get him in on the giggle shenanigans at some point before that, because hilarity.

I... am going to go officially drop Arhu now, so no plot for him.

Aaron is going to get hit with the water, and hard. Does anyone want to see him laughing his head off, or possibly re-experiencing some of the awful memories I've given him? 8D

So what would happen if someone were to breathe the tainted water? Because Arthur's probably going to get that ability back for his water-drinking Echo.

If some is boiled off or otherwise allowed to evaporate, does it vaporize with the water or become more concentrated/visible?

do you honestly believe I would say anything else?

Are police officers told anything about why the increased need to monitor suspicious activity, or what to do if someone is showing really suspicious behavior? What would they be told if asked?

ok you have giggledibs

but someone else gets the awful flashbacks b/c you already did that

and it'd be too easy to get through if you were there
argents: that bind us together, forever. (why are you my clarity?)

[personal profile] argents 2013-07-31 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
awww yes, gigglefits for this kid, most definitely. as for re-experiencing echoes, i'm thinking i'll go with his initial one, except he might try to remember the speech more in depth this time, since it was sort of a secondary thing he still struggles with. anyone want to try and help him write it down in between laughter?

[personal profile] hopediesalone 2013-07-31 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Raul here will be all over this. He'll be down for direct investigation and infiltration.

So timing is a wonderful thing and I sort of joined right before the finals for my summer courses. LUCKILY, I will be finished with those on Thursday. SO I'LL BE AROUND TO DO MORE THINGS.

Logan here will definitely be drinking the water. He doesn't really laugh a lot .... at all. So it'll be incredibly unsettling! I found a video reference with his voice actor and everything. It might happen at work so if anyone wants to deal with that.... yeah have at it. No previous memory echoes to re-experience, but he will be getting a new one! Not quite sure what yet, but IT WILL PROBABLY BE USELESS. Like his "British" accent.

Also, he's doing that YA book cover photoshoot thing, so there's that. He'll also probably realize at some point that oh hey he sort of knows how to use swords there, since that was his first echo and it hadn't been relevant enough to notice before. So that's a noteworthy thing.

Other than that, he works at Pizza Hut on a regular basis so that's always an option I guess! O:

Anyway, I am always open to most things. I'd love some new CR of all sorts and to get him more involved yeah!

Nick is definitely going to be drinking the water and having giggle fits, as well as reliving canon memories - not that he has anything all that traumatic yet.

He'll hopefully be getting back his ability to tell when people aren't human, if that gets approved, so if that happens, anyone interested in doing something with that?

Aside from that, Nick is still new-ish but is definitely poking around, so I'd love more CR opportunities! He's a police officer, but he's doing his best to hide that (aside from the three or so people who know). If anyone wants to run into him while he's on the job or anything involving that, I'm more than game!

Wouldn't want those things to become routine! "When having awful memories, apply one Jules". Some other time perhaps.

Aaron laughing like that would probably scare him more anyway. |D

If we can swing a scenario that isn't too convoluted, I would defs be down for some Alex and Banagher.
