Plot post for July 30!

[theearth]

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.

Both Anthony and Cinderella are going to be getting dosed with tainted water!

In Anthony's case, what with his physical systems dying off, he isn't likely going to be one of the ones hit with the worst of it - but he is going to be drinking enough water for an Echo that'll cause him to go a tad more zombie, and involuntarily re-experiencing visions he knows he shouldn't be experiencing may produce another Echo. As he still isn't getting out especially much, both the turning and the outburst of "This can't - be - HAPPENIIIIING!! D8" are likely going to be happening out of sight unless anyone might for whatever reason be interested in having their character bear witness. XD I'd also certainly be willing for an excuse to have him lured out to succumb to a giggle-fit within earshot of others - and also he'll be taking turning further, whether or not anyone else notices (the difference to his outward appearance will be quite minor, so he'll stay vague about it) will have him look into sorting out some more stable general living arrangement.

Cinderella, meanwhile, I still lack more elaborate plans for, but I still owe thee a log, Airdra, if you'll not mind backdating it! Not a clue yet on what Echo she'll receive from her drinking water, either - but, well, she drinks like a horse! Expect her to make a network post sometime this week very giggly wearing a pair of red glasses with a song stuck in her head.

iirc Teal mentioned that Maya would be opening her home to the number folk who might need a place to stay BUT if the topic of where to stay ever comes up between Anthony and Alex, Alex would offer his place, too.

Actually, if you're interested in that being a thing -- oh, hm. I was going to say that it could be set up in the lsr log, but that might not jive with the logs set after it... WELL we can def work something out if you're interested!

[scramasax]

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!

I'm perfectly willing to backdate the log, so no worries there! /o/ And Arthur will be forever ready to sing songs with giggly horses.

And hey, Anthony can come crash at Hajime's place for a while, if he needs to. Hajime knows that needing a place to stay because you're not human feel.

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

[chalicejoker]

EPIC SINGING PONY TIMES because if he gets an Echo from that encounter, it will so be the whale song thing. 8D

Monster solidarity forever! XD

Tom?

If only there was a way to "Discord" her additionally I would at once say flawless.

...Come to think of it though on the other hand I think I might just go with the geode!
