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.

Mara will be drinking the tap water because Why Not + it's probably her main water source anyway, because bottle water is pricy and gross. And submitted a request for echo, of knowledge of the 12 troll blood colors. Not Super cool or anything, but she will likely bring it up on the network and also it will appeal to her artistic side. BEYOND THAT she is still new and just whatever. /boring

So I know I was going to do something else, but uh.

Who wants to see Kari's soul get ripped out?

See, her canon's magical girls have their souls in pearls that are passed down between generations, and she'd need to Echo that in long before becoming remotely useful, and... yeaaaaaaaah.

Oh, man, I'd love to have Nick see this. He has a fairly traumatic experience in canon with watching someone's soul get ripped out, so it'd be really fun to torment him with that.

Fun for everyone! How should we go about this.

Exactly! :D And I'm down with anything! If you wanted to post an open log to give multiple people the chance to see it, I'm good with tagging in, or with something closed if that'd be easier.

Open log sounds awesome, though I'm not sure where or how this would take place, considering that Kari usually just creeps on people in the background.

As per this plurk, planning to put up a log for "Kari stalks obvious reincarnates (possibly under the influence of gigglewater, confronts them, and promptly gets derailed by gigglewater herself". That sound good?

[personal profile] detectivetroll 2013-08-04 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds great! I'll keep an eye out it. :D

(Also do you mind if I add you on plurk?)

I wasn't able to tag much yesterday, and it seems like the log's pretty far underway now - is it still okay to tag in, or should I just bow out?

Course you can! It's still definitely open. ^^ He could have seen the whole pearl regain thing -- neither of them was exactly paying attention to anything else at the time -- and we can go from there.

Sweet! I'll go hit it now.

Suzaku's doubtless going to drink some water. Guy with a stick up his ass having gigglefits, what can go wrong? I don't have a ton of ideas for this particular plot, but if I can hassle this guy, so much the better. Same goes for [personal profile] purity, actually.

In Suzaku's case he's going to remember killing a certain Emperor while in horrible cosplay. Why? Because he recently got an Echo about someone in that same suit shooting a girl with pink hair. And it was despair-ridden. And he's going to wonder why he'd be in the damned thing...and why there's more despair.

He needed more confusion in his life, right? Right.

Miles may be drinking that water! Not so sure yet, but if he does... he'll be busting out Water element spells. Because clearly drinking tainted water lets a person start casting funky element spells /nodnod
depolarized: (Hah!)

Because I needed time to think >.>

[personal profile] depolarized 2013-08-01 10:50 am (UTC)(link)
Ok, so Riku. Iiiii am planning on:

    Nightmares - he just got echoed back stabbing Maleficent in the back to unlock her heart + creeping on corpsegirl!Kairi with a sleezy pirate and Sora-shaped heartless.

    Isomnia - He may take to running around/about or being up at odd hours. He will be tired and may be a little snappy.

    Gigglewater - Because he's learned to spend on better things than bottled water. Though he does boil it first. >.> This of course, feeds into Nightmares.


I'm thinking this can go two ways- giggle-hiccups which will probably be hilarious in most situations, him being mildly linefaise, annnnnd it's like a drug, making him think he's been drugged/fell off the wagon and deeply upset. @@

So yes, for those of you still checking this, ALL DA CR welcome! o7

HELLO I literally just got here but Mac will probably end up at least drinking the water because he's dumb. He'll be re-experiencing PIANO TUNES and probably get his blue eyes back when I put them in.

I might also have him do some weird investigating into Thunder Corp stuff, not sure yet, but basically I am about twenty minutes away from hot dropping Mac into this hot mess AND I WANT ALL THE SHENANIGANS
peacefulwinter: (Thanks for letting me know.)

[personal profile] peacefulwinter 2013-08-01 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Winter is probably going to end up lost in giggles for some time, because she probably won't make the connection right away. As for the Echo attached... I dunno what I'll give her. Maybe a memory of Mana declaring Rikka her waifu (and Raquel agreeing), to start setting up for horrible things later.

Aside from that... gentlemen, I like plots. Raquel now speaks, for anyone that might want to know and didn't see the post. That's the only new thing on my radar, so if anyone wants to do something, I'm all for shenanigans. Come at me!

Bruce will be drinking some of that water, for science. What scientist in their right mind wouldn't test a thesis on this stuff? He'll just have to excuse himself from a seminar with fits of laughter. No new echo, he'll just experience his first one for now.
