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.

Oh, man, I'd love to have Nick see this. He has a fairly traumatic experience in canon with watching someone's soul get ripped out, so it'd be really fun to torment him with that.

Fun for everyone! How should we go about this.

[detectivetroll]

Exactly! :D And I'm down with anything! If you wanted to post an open log to give multiple people the chance to see it, I'm good with tagging in, or with something closed if that'd be easier.

[lackinginfaith]

Open log sounds awesome, though I'm not sure where or how this would take place, considering that Kari usually just creeps on people in the background.

[lackinginfaith]

As per this plurk, planning to put up a log for "Kari stalks obvious reincarnates (possibly under the influence of gigglewater, confronts them, and promptly gets derailed by gigglewater herself". That sound good?

[detectivetroll]

Sounds great! I'll keep an eye out it. :D

(Also do you mind if I add you on plurk?)

[lackinginfaith]

Here you go!

(Sure!)

[detectivetroll]

I wasn't able to tag much yesterday, and it seems like the log's pretty far underway now - is it still okay to tag in, or should I just bow out?

[lackinginfaith]

Course you can! It's still definitely open. ^^ He could have seen the whole pearl regain thing -- neither of them was exactly paying attention to anything else at the time -- and we can go from there.

[detectivetroll]

Sweet! I'll go hit it now.
