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.

Hm... Sadly, John isn't much for the gym, but he'd probably be pretty envious of Shou's car!

oh god I'm not even sure, and therein lies my problem. I think I just need to get him out and interacting with more people, because he hasn't been doing all that much lately and I don't want to let the inertia kill him. He desperately needs to just...talk to people more, especially, maybe get comfy with actually having talking about the crazy stuff as an outlet with some new friends, because the couple of people who he was getting all that out with are...gone now. /o\

Tamara would also be up for trying to hack their systems, especially seeing if she can gain access to the emails of any of the bigwigs. Considering that she's especially experienced with going after accounts, she knows how to use social engineering techniques to try and gain passwords if she can't use her virus. Of course, she'd also be more than happy to try and infect all the computers as well.

He can take a ride with Shou. He's proud of his bby.

Awesome, that's gonna be a blast. Want to save that for after this giggle-water event has passed? Any timing is fine by me really but I do like planning.

It will definitely be interesting. Because their styles differ in that way, they might even learn from each other, which'd be cool. All the better to give each other really suspicious looks someday down the line.

Aw! That would be awesome! He'll probably ask if anyone's interested over the network pretty soon here.

HMMM so as far as re-experiencing echoes, how would physical ones work?

in my case there's just the burn scar on his shoulder and being in better physical shape with better reflexes, so i'm not sure how exactly that would be re-experienced :|a

EDIT: Does the echo from drinking the water come before the re-experienced echoes or does it happen at the end?

Anthony's also naturally more than willing to be involved in training, if short-sword versus tail-blade would make for sufficiently acceptable sparring. XD

Woohoo! Everything sounds good. I look forward to seeing all of this unfold. :D

we should have them embarrassingly gigglefitting together >.> idk how to do this but i want it <A< also kotetsu is pretty open about being a cop on the network so idk they might have a conversation about that sometime???

[personal profile] scramasax 2013-07-31 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
I've been imagining so - he'll much more likely than not finally be getting himself out of the way next month, if that's soon enough. XD Annnd ahh, my, I was wondering if that'd be so in that case. I s'pose Bakura would've refrained the whole time from alluding to what exactly the matter is.

[personal profile] ursoreckless 2013-07-31 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yup it is. He gets so mad when he found out that someone shot his jacket, he actually made Kei join in the gun battle.

[personal profile] scramasax 2013-07-31 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
If that is indeed an anyone-anyone, I would say that Anthony would definitely be interested, but with how rotted he's going to get I'm unsure if it'd be an excellent arrangement over an extended period of time, especially what with all of Maya's pets.

THERE WAS A HIGH PROBABILITY THAT ONE WAS INDEED EITHER A RICH DICK OR A CREEP but this is canon, he would have zero stomach for murdering someone as a reincarnate.

sorry sensei.

WATCH OUT SUNRISE THERE ARE NEW TOP DOGS COMING YOUR WAY

[personal profile] scramasax 2013-07-31 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
Still having trouble devising exact scenarios but I do want more John. Bah I meant to tag his last post as well but was stalling on coming up with something sufficiently not-cheap! X_X

Kotetsu's definitely drinking the water /o/ He'll re-experience his first echo about Heroes and companies and buyouts and be confused and troubled about it all over again v.v I think the echo he'll get from it is a scene where someone was trying to give him drugged tea (he didn't realize it was drugged at the time though) and things kept getting in the way of him drinking it.

ALSO the crapsuit will ride again, if anyone wants to be there to watch it reappear on his body and laugh at him for reasons unrelated to tainted water :X

He's a cop too, and pretty open about it on the network, sooo yeah if anyone wants to do anything with that or help getting out of ~~~SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR~~~ trouble with other cops???

hmmmmm idk if he'd be interested in investigating thunder corp, someone would have to suggest it and he'd be glad to tag along as a Dude With A Gun if anyone wanted.

Sweet! :D I'll have Nick jump on that.
argents: remedy? (why are you my)

[personal profile] argents 2013-07-31 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
he'll giggle enough for both of them. sadly.

anyway he's more or less useless as a legitimate sparring partner, but if she's willing to bear with him he definitely wants to get to know the scope of his heightened reflexes that he's gotten back via echoes! maybe as part of a self defense thing since he has no clue about any of that either, but he's realizing it's becoming a necessity.

[personal profile] detectivetroll 2013-07-31 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yeeaah that'd definitely be pretty bad for her. Eventually Nick might get over it, since his canon best friend used to kill people, but that probably won't be for a while.

I'd love for that, too! He has no idea on anything about Thunder Corp, so I don't think he'll be involved in that, but next time Vanessa makes an open post, I can have Nick jump on it? I'll also probably be throwing one up for Nick in the next week or so!

After the giggle-water event sounds good to me! I was originally planning a post with Regina announcing the need for sparring partners, but I'm not sure how long the event would last so I didn't want it to conflict with the incoming posts, you know?

Regina could stand to learn something new from a politician's son, I think! It might make her change her mind a little if they don't give each other suspicious looks first.

...dude I want this too. Maybe on a lunch break, or when they're out for a drink after work? Also yes I totally vote for a conversation about that.
