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.

Danny will be shouting about HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE WATER THIS WHOLE TIME, HE KNEW IT, HE'S NOT JUST A CRAZY LUNATIC!!!!!

And then he will offer people bottled water from the like 20 year supply his family has stockpiled. So if you want free, conspiracy-less-guaranteed water, Danny will be more than happy to supply it.

He might drink tap water by accident anyway, like from a water fountain or something. I don't know yet. If he does, then uh pretty much the only echo he has to re-experience is getting his intangibility so I guess he'd be clumsier than usual, feet going through the floor and arms through the wall constantly.

Otherwise I don't have anything strictly planned, Thunder Corp investigation related or otherwise, but if anyone wants to do anything with him then I am all for planning that out here too!!

Danny and Aria haven't talked, but they're about the same age - Aria's 16, so she could have seen him around school. Enough to accept water? Especially after she drinks the actual conspiracy water. :T I want to get her talking to more of the high school students and stuff, sooo.

Yeah, I can definitely imagine them being familiar with each other from just passing by in the hallway at school!

I don't know if this would make her more likely or less likely to take Danny's water, but he's got a rep in town/at school for being the son of the town conspiracy kooks, so. Aria can make of that what she will, ahaha.

AT THIS POINT it looks like conspiracy kook kid probably was right about more stuff than non-conspiracy kook people. Maybe she should listen to the crazy ideas more often? IN ANY CASE she would accept it!

I imagine she didn't really have much to do with him before numbers simply because she is semi-independent and hangs out with a different crowd over anything else - she's more prone to tolerating weird talk than she is to mocking it. ...At least outright, since she might go along with it just in an "lol are you serious" way.

Sounds pretty good to me then!

He'll probably make a post over the network about the bottled water once it starts up and then they can meet up in person so that he can actually give it to her. And then they realize that oh shit, they actually go to the same school.

That sounds absolutely fantastic!!

Aria wants more people her age with weird numbers in their head to talk to. ...People to talk to, not numbers, idk how to reword that clearly right now.

...uhhhh

it's been like, what, a week??? it's probably gone by now, yeah

he hasn't really tried to do anything with his power since, though, he's scared he's going to get trapped in his door next and spend the rest of his life using his butt as a door stop.

(it's pretentious european for bathroom, yes)
