EVENT #6: PEACE ON THE HORIZON (OOC)

Event #6 - PLOTTING POST

After pitting their Summoned against one another in an attempt to vie for the greatest control over the caskets and the Singularity, and being further spurred on by Goro's march on Solvunn, the three factions have finally made their stance...and invited all to a Summit! Tensions are high and with the outcome of the Dimming being so even, it only makes sense that everyone would extend a hand in peace and understanding.

There is nothing to worry about.

All the Summoned will be given the opportunity to travel to a remote location near the Singularity for the weekend. The event will take place ICly from February 18th through February 21st. Participation is voluntary but the respected faction leaders highly encourage their Summoned to make their presence known. After all, whoever has the highest representation likely has the most loyal open-minded Summoned.

A key purpose of this event, in addition to allowing inter-faction mingling between all characters, is that CHARACTERS MAY CHANGE FACTIONS AT THIS STAGE IF THEY WISH and no one will (overtly) stop them. During the Summit, every faction will be trying to win over the Summoned to either join their side or keep them from switching sides. This is not explicitly stated nor will anyone admit to it being the case, but there is a sense that the Summoned are being wooed.

If you want to switch factions, please reply to this comment over on the IC event post.
Plotting Form
Feel free to use this short form to make plans for this event, including whether or not you're interested in helping others switch factions, if you plan on switching factions, or if you just want buddies for the bathing pool.

Questions and Answers

If after reading these you're still unsure about anything, or your question wasn't covered, please feel free to hit up our Questions thread below!

Can my character leave the event early?
Absolutely! Characters can leave through their designated faction exits whenever they like. However, once they leave, they cannot return to the event. Those who want to stay for the duration of the Summit must remain in the area and use the tents as their temporary quarters.
What will my character be told if they ask to leave the boundaries?
Characters will be told that it's for their own safety that they can't leave the area. They are out in the open wilderness, so there's no telling what dangers might lurk.
How many raffle tickets can my character purchase?
ICly, characters can purchase as many as they can afford. OOCly, we ask players to submit just one raffle entry per player (not per character) for the prizes, in order to keep things fair!
Can the faction pin be removed? What happens if characters try?
The faction pin cannot be removed. It's magically attached to characters and will only dislodge once they step through the portal to return home. Attempting to remove it before then will yield no results.
How are characters assigned tents/sleeping quarters?
Characters are not assigned to any tent, nor are they required to stay in a single tent. As long as they are welcome by those already inside, they can come and go between tents as they please! Players are encouraged to do the same and to work out their tentmates with each other for CR purposes if they so choose. There are enough tents for everyone to sleep comfortably.
My character was a prisoner of Thorne. Will they be imprisoned if they want to return to Thorne?
Characters who were originally imprisoned by Thorne may switch factions back to Thorne without risk of punishment. They will be granted amnesty and will be offered the same treatment as any of the current welcomed Summoned.

Character Name: aerith gainsborough
Current Faction: solvunn
Are you switching factions? most likely not!

Do you want others to sway your character to another faction? i think it's totally fair for anyone to try, and i'm happy to really play this by ear, or make plans for something. aerith is a pretty stubborn person, but she always wants to listen to other people - especially if they feel really strongly about something. so i think she would both listen and be interested if anyone had anything in particular to try to sway her towards somewhere else.

Is your character open to convincing others to join them or to leave a faction? i don't think she would be pushy about it, but she would happily talk about her experiences in solvunn to anyone who seemed keen on listening (and even occasionally to people who do not seem keen on listening....)

Are you looking for tentmates? absolutely! hit me!

General Plans: aerith in general will be wandering around, looking at and experiencing everything she can, as much as she can. in particular, i think she would be interested in the thorne mages and the magicks there, the guns in the free cities section, and would absolutely be happy to weave ribbons or flowers into people's hair at the solvunn section. (she's helping!) other than that, she would definitely visit the communal baths and maybe even hang out at the tavern.

i'm really open to anything that might sound fun or interesting, even if it's just a meet-cute situation, or something to start building up cr! i'm happy to collaborate on ideas and come up with something that interests both of us and is fun to write.

aerith would have the power to convince geralt to let her weave flowers in his hair. she's got a decent amount to work with if you wanted!

So a while back I'd meant to do a thing where Aerith and Emet could meet up in the aftermath of that brief text conversation they had, and then life promptly kicked my ass for a while and I never quite got around to it. Do you want to pick that plot thread back up? Either as "they kept missing each other until right now" or as something backtagged/handwaved and also something new here?

[personal profile] bloomly 2022-02-19 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
no worries at all! i think we all got kicked in the ass by life for awhile, i know i definitely did... i think we could handwave that they met briefly before, in the aftermath of the texting thread, but maybe haven't been able to spend a great deal of time together until now? that way it's like a good combination of both without having to handwave like, a great deal, if that sounds chill to you! is there anything in particular that you wanna do re: the summit that we could rope the both of them into?
unnecessaryflourishes: (carefully listening in)

[personal profile] unnecessaryflourishes 2022-02-20 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
That works perfectly, with their previous meeting! I'd imagine they'd at least have managed to exchange names and probably a couple of other like. surface-level pleasantries?

As far as the summit goes, the magic on display at Thorne would definitely catch Emet's attention, so they could easily run into each other there! Or if not that, the Free Cities display, since guns are also a thing that would catch his interest.

yesss i think that's a good assumption! and that way like, they can have a bit more time with this thread to get to know each other better.

and awesome, i can write us up a starter with my top level if you're okay with that? i'll choose between the magic and the guns, and shoot you a link when it's ready!
unnecessaryflourishes: (I do see you there)

[personal profile] unnecessaryflourishes 2022-02-20 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah!

And that works for me! I'll keep an eye out for whenever it goes up.
