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.

Bring it on!

Luckily for Suzaku, Regina hasn't regained her extremist tendencies a.k.a the willingness to kill for the sake of Japan and people she loves, so he should be okay, all things considered. She's less scary than the furry monsters of doom!

(It's totally a poltergeist, John doesn't know what he's talking about.) But yeah, if he ends up bringing it up, Nick will be more than happy to try to help figure it out!

Loose planning works for me! I doubt Nick would be willing to reveal too much about himself, just to be safe, so maybe something along the lines of vague discussions about the network and echoes? He'd probably tell John that he could come to him in an emergency, especially if it was law related, but he wouldn't give any personal contact info like a lameo.

Lucky for him indeed.

One of these days, he's gonna remember this girl kicking his ass in a ballgown and wonder "Why the hell did I just stand there and take that!?" It's gonna be beautiful.

Meantime they're pretty well matched for sparring. Suzaku's got his running back but doesn't have the insane coordination to go with, and I don't think he's gonna run at Regina...funny as it'd be.

If it helps, I think Danny's going to make a post on friday or saturday or something about how HE WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG ABOUT THE WATER HAHA SEE so. That's one way things could happen!

...Or, for a less crazy approach to things, they can meet each other in slightly less outrageous circumstances some other time.
carolinesays: (g: where you belong)

SCIENCE!

[personal profile] carolinesays 2013-07-31 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
So! Caroline's brand new to the numbers club! And aside from doing some competitor profiling, she's also very interested in how the club works.

1. Club members can perceive the network.
2. Club members can perceive each other using it, evidenced by dual video logs.
3. Normal people cannot.
4. Normal people cannot even perceive club members using it.

So (probably gonna suggest this in her first post) she wants to conduct an experiment.

Make an audio/video recording of someone making a voice/video post, or listening to a voice/video post.
Make a control tape of them sitting in a room in silence.
Optional, but ideally: Do this test twice, using both digital and analog methods of recording.

Have club members view the tapes, and, if possible, normal people (come up with some excuse, idk).

Can either of these groups tell a difference between the tapes?

SO WITH THIS IN MIND

1. Who's up for helping run this experiment and participating in it? The person being recorded, getting together recording equipment, viewing the tapes, all that stuff.

2. For the mods - so... what are the test results going to show, exactly?

Well, that sounds like fun. Maybe they can hang out or something and both have a laughing contest?

[personal profile] acequeen 2013-07-31 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
It's gonna be a beautiful trainwreck with these two. Oh God, if he does run at Regina and pin her down, just you watch, she'll suddenly remember him on top of her while she's butt naked outside near the waterfalls. "WHY ARE YOU A SICK PERVERT GET OFF GET OFF"

For physical echoes, she only has 50% of her trained soldier stamina and strength. No super quick reflexes or crazy gymnastics for this girl, so she's normal for the most part.

Former vampires unite? Since they sort of are Starbucks buddies and they should run into each other again :3

This needs to happen. Totally. And then Toushirou will scold Danny for acting suspicious. While still giggling. It's totally sensible, shut up!

[personal profile] scramasax 2013-07-31 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
I was indeed actually wondering about hitting Teal up for that - but ahww~ XD Depending on the orders of events and how matters come to play out ICly and/or in the interim he would be grateful for and even give in and take that option. And agreed on keeping a new subject out of current logs, but if 'twere to come up indeed but of course I'd be interested indeed!

[personal profile] ex_elude798 2013-07-31 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that may have to happen sometime just for that. Because Suzaku not knowing what the hell is going on? Always priceless. Then again he's just so fun to inconvenience and baffle. He's sort of trying to teach himself to not slam into things when he tries to stop running, so we could mess with that at some point.

Suzaku's reasonably normal too. He's a trained soldier, but he's in training to be a pilot, so he's not like a Marine or anything. And of course he's a nerd for kendo always, but that doesn't matter for hand-to-hand.

Fantastic! That will definitely be a thing for the future then.

What? Nick, you don't want to share your intimate information with John? How could you!? Haha, but yeah, that's sounds good! John will probably tell him where he works, even if he doubts that Nick's going to be need to be set up with any social services in the near future. Will he get to know what station Nick works at at least? :|a

How about talking religious viewpoints with someone who is primarily into other things and trying to understand this whole Christian stuff people toss at him. He still thinks that Santa has a lot to do with religion despite knowing people who talk about Jesus.

ARE THOSE FOUR PEOPLE PEDOPHILES, RICH DICKS AND CREEPS? IF SO, REGINA APPROVES DON'T WORRY.

Starring Banagher Links and Regina Akamine! It'll be 10x better than anything by Sunrise.

There seriously needs to be a vampire club or something once everyone starts turning. It'll be awesome. 8D

But yes! I am totally up for them hanging out, either at Starbucks or... elsewhere!

SMASHING!

And for goodness's sake if only Anthony had easier means of getting around at will if not stay over he'd probably paying people visits on a regular basis. X_X In any case it seems that monster solidarity moments are constantly in the cards. XD
ursoreckless: (guess who)

[personal profile] ursoreckless 2013-07-31 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
There does! They can compare their vamp skills and make notes about how things work for them for science!

Shou does a lot of gym stuff, and he does a lot of driving his sleek car around and sometimes he might actually be at work filing things and fetching things.

Morgan's going to drink the tainted water and have an Echo about being, well. Being crushed by water pressure and possibly doing a less comical spittake. It'll all probably be jittery and out of control in her head, but she'll only get the memory of it without knowing the clear context of why.

In this case, she might forego investigating the Thunder Corp in the meantime. Bad memory is bad.

[personal profile] detectivetroll 2013-07-31 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome!

Probably not, but hey, Nick could always sends the people he meets during his line of work there! But yeah, he'd tell him that much. Nick'd just assume that if John really needed him, he couldn't find him pretty easily with that.
toobig: BTW THERE ARE SPOILERS HERE (Default)

[personal profile] toobig 2013-07-31 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
This'll definitely be Bertholdt's first in-game memory haha... But he'll be drinking the water probably! Unsure about the memory right now, but it'll probably include Reiner considering there isn't a panel in the entire series where he's not with baby bara. It's like they ship themselves.

[personal profile] acequeen 2013-07-31 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, Suzy. 8( You should always learn how to steer your feet in the right direction so you don't bump into fiery tsunderes. But yes, I'm up for this!

In Regina's case, her older brother was the one who taught her how to fight, so she's not really classically trained like Suzaku is. It'd be interesting to see how these two duke it out in non-epic war circumstances.
acequeen: (and the sky turns gray)

[personal profile] acequeen 2013-07-31 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
What kind of Things do you have in mind for Hajime? I know these two have spoken to each other a few times already, so I'm up for all kinds of stuff.

[personal profile] doomedtheworld 2013-07-31 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yep. Though I figure it'll be bad for her either way since she doesn't even have the excuse of it being a Numbers thing to fall back on for it. It really was just her committing a crime and totally ducking any responsibility for it.

But, yeah, I'd still love to get these two to meet. If only for the inevitable times where they're, I dunno, investigating somebody and Nick starts wondering if he can get a warrant or whatever to search his place and meanwhile Vanessa is already climbing in through a window.
