There's Something In The Water Plot Post
[obligatory]
Word of Mods:
There is a reservoir out in the country, which is the primary water source for Locke City. There are several aquifers that supplement this, but 75% of the water comes from the reservoir.
The water is contaminated before it goes into the treatment plants, which fail to detect/remove the contamination. The source of the contamination is the part of the reservoir where the water is taken: Julien will see that the water is cloudy, like something's just been dumped into the lake.
If they keep watch on the area, they might be able to catch a tanker coming up to the water and dumping its payload of glowing pink goop into the water. They are also welcome to attempt to stop the tanker.
A few days ago Julien posted about tracking down the source of the contamination, and several characters expressed interest in helping out. Some volunteered to find out whatever they could. We could handwave those discoveries and some of the planning setup, maybe even finding the dumping site and keeping watch on it, and go right to shortly before the tanker shows up.
Julien wants two groups - one small sneaky group to investigate, which will include him, one more combat-oriented group hanging back a little to try and help the stealth team if they're caught. He's not a leader and no leader's come up to take charge, though. Whether the fighters stay too close or too far, whether people in or between groups work well together is entirely up to them. Julien would prefer to just mark the tanker's plates/follow it, but he won't be able to stop someone from going and interfering.
So, plot with me! Questions? Thoughts? Do you have a character who'd come along? It's okay if they haven't responded to his post. What group would they prefer? Would they care to lie in wait around the bushes and try to stop the tanker? Combat-oriented characters could do that too, Julien can't stop them.

I'm mostly handwaving that he's going and meeting some of these people before going out there but there's at least one person I think that could be worth playing out. You interested?
no subject
I'm definitely interested! The more CR the better, and I'd love to mess with Nick's head about having this newfound ability.

Julien's irises have a pebbled texture and a pale inner ring, though otherwise they are still blue. His pupils are usually small but can dilate or contract extremely far very very fast, most noticeably if he's excited or experiencing strong emotions. Since the whites of his eyes are unchanged it's normally hard to tell without being very close. He's often slightly dazed and distracted, but it's hard to tell what he's staring at because he doesn't have to look directly at it.
He has mostly clear inner eyelids where those little pink inner-corner lumps used to be. Sometimes they're very briefly visible while blinking.
When he breathes he does so more slowly and deeply than humans can and his chest expands somewhat more than it should. There's a slightly unusual resonant quality to his voice and he can speak and sound almost the same whether inhaling or exhaling, mouth open or closed; he normally does his best not to speak abnormally but may slip if relaxed. Julien's voice is generated and manipulated down in his ribcage, his lips and tongue are kind of superfluous to speech now.
Nick is welcome to notice any or all of that! But it'd be difficult to draw the conclusion "bird" from it, I think.
no subject
Nick'll definitely be able to see both eye things and the voice bit - his ability lets him pick up on that stuff even if the person's trying to hide it - but yeah, he'll have no idea what it is. He's not versed enough in bird knowledge to be able to figure it out, so he'll just be like '...okay not human, great.'
I'll run over and tag that! :D
