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.

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!
no subject
Even if that's still awhile off, she's always breaking some kind of law so that could still make for some interesting interactions when it comes to Numbers Club stuff, if you're interested.
no subject
Later on after an echo or two, he's going to be a little more uncertain, so it'd be more "SHOULD I TURN HER IN MAYBE I SHOULD JUST INVESTIGATE IT MORE."
But yes either way I'm one hundred percent down for him starting to suspect her involvement in illegal actitivies.
no subject
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.
no subject
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!
no subject
Yeah, Vanessa's kind sidelined with injuries for a bit so depending on what happens with Thunder and how fast she might not be able to jump in. Feel free to jump in on any open posts though (her next one will probably be a "hey, guys, I'm not dead" thing) and I'll keep an eye out for Nick as well.
no subject
Sounds good! Nick will probably chime in one something like that if only to say something along the lines of "...what dead was an option?" so I can definitely make that work.

BUT if it's cool with you, I was planning on tagging John's post with the black eyes? I wasn't sure you'd want to have another thread while we still had one going, but Nick saw John's black eyes and got an echo of something with similar eyes in his canon called a Geier.
no subject
And by all means, tag away! :D I certainly don't mind having two threads going on at the same time. I guess to be safe we could just do some loose planning as to what they talk about in the library?
no subject
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.
no subject
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
no subject
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.
