Plot Post for September 17th!
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;
• As of mid-September, the Locke City water supply is clean! It’ll read as back to its previous normal by any analysis or enhanced senses, and no more several-hour giggle fits after consumption. This means as well that drinking tap water will no longer induce Echoes.
• Public unease and scrutiny of Thunder Corp. is high with the rumors leaked to the media having hit mainstream awareness, as result of the operation headed by Riku Nakatsuki (depolarized) and Nick Burkhardt (detectivetroll). Thunder Corp., of course, are persistently denying everything - while those with connections in the company may also hear that they plan to get to the bottom of just who could be trying to sabotage their reputation.
Events occurring in the immediate future;
• Thunder Corp. will be holding a press conference to address the allegations of environmental irresponsibility by the company - in short, they deny everything. The information is fudged, the images are fake, and they have no idea who is responsible or what provoked them.
• On the evening of September 21st, the pink lights in the sky will appear again - accompanied by - what d’you know! - a low buzzing sound in the heads of PCs who see it, very much like that sensed by those who ventured into the lower regions of the mines on the trip organized by Kanti Singh (vetala). Look away from the lights and the sound will fade to nothing. The lights will not appear the next day.
The buzzing, however, isn’t going anywhere - in fact, it’s still there without looking at the lights, much too faint to be detected without actively focusing, and will intensify over the rest of September and into October. The intensity also depends on the listener’s location - the buzzing grows louder and stronger as you approach Tuning Towers (see the Locations post). Once you arrive at the Towers themselves, in addition to the buzzing you’re likely to sense tremors in the ground below you - which isn’t actually shaking, or otherwise eliciting a reaction from the non-numbered around.
• By next week, there will be periodic and brief cases of civilians within small public areas (coffee shops, mall stores, parks, etc.) going simultaneously... out of it. Catch a non-Numbers Club acquaintance in conversation when they’re hit and they’ll suddenly go much more relaxed, zoned-out, and docile. Take the chance while you can to get a loan - it’ll only last about five minutes before they rise back up to their senses.
Depending on the company you keep, however, you might notice that whatever phenomenon is acting up when it does will have little to no effect on those who steer clear of tap water.
Events potentially occurring;
• The police have been on their guard and taking their notes since late July, and Thunder Corp. don’t intend to let the drawing of suspicion to them pass. PCs will be at risk of investigation and/or arrest in the near future.
Potential Echo Opportunities:
• Witnessing the lights in the sky will - as it has in the past - grant one Echo. In the days afterward until further notice otherwise, picking up on and following the buzzing sound to their strongest point - right at Tuning Towers - will grant an additional Echo.
• Following the appearance of the lights on September 21st, some reincarnates may find that their Echoes are getting... stronger. OOCly, we're now allowing Tier 2 Echoes, as reflected on the Echoes request page- essentially two (connected) Echoes in one, once a month per character.

Maybe.
Possibly.
...Hajime thinks he's an adult and that's all that's needed for supervision, this will end very well.
no subject
Man, someday they're just going to power up and level something :D It'll be kinda epic.
no subject
Hajime's due in for some more of Joker's power, since I'm delaying his Rider form a bit longer just to be terrible, hehe. It'll be fun! At least until Joker's instincts start manifesting, too. |D
no subject
SEE LYALL. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LEAVE.
Hooou? What kinda power we talking here?
no subject
Attacking with green energy, basically. Blasts/pulses from his belt and scythe-shaped projectiles from his wrist blades. 8D And the blasts from his belt canonically hit the point that it's like "welp, so much for that house," or "you have upset me so now I am uncontrollably taking this wall out with me so I can leave." (He's not getting the full range of that back quite yet, though, because, uh, world destroyer.)
no subject
Bakura wouldn't want anything to do with the van, though. Now, get him a motorcycle of his own... >D
WHICH REMINDS ME. BIKE STUFF. Because Bakura could manage a bike because it's open air :D
no subject
for nowand the engine will be running more smoothly.)no subject
...Though if there's ever a case where Bakura winds up slung over the back of one...
But yeah. I need to check when you can get a motorcycle licence, but it would be epic if he got one :D
no subject
I think at his age, he'd need a regular license and parental permission, but he'd be able to get one! (Also I just looked at my state, Locke may vary...)
no subject
I thiiink you can get your motorcycle licence without your regular? I may be wrong. Because if he has to get a normal drivers licence first, it'll never happen.
He might be able to get some sort of exemption since PTSD documentation. CARS ARE A BIG NO. NO NO NO NO. But if he can do lessons and take the test on a motorcycle? He'll be fine. Because it's all open air.
And I will let you know! He won't like it if he gets it, though :D
