EVENT #1 OOC PLOTTING POST

EVENT #1 OOC PLOTTING
Hello and welcome to our very first event! This is where you can OOCly ask us questions and plot with other players.

We'd also like to give a quick rundown of both this event and the events that will follow in the next few months, just so you're all prepared!

June 12th and 13th will be the same as what was on our TDM, so you can make individual logs for these days or decide that some of your TDM threads were canon for them. During this time, honored guests will be told about the Singularity and Thorne's goals regarding it (anything you see about that on the FAQ is something they're allowed to know). They will not be told why they specifically are here and why they're honored while others are imprisoned, but they can tell prisoners about the Singularity if they like.

If you haven't already, please sign up for room and cell assignments in this post! RNG assignments will be given at the end of the day.

This event, which takes place from June 14th-19th, will be divided into two smaller groups. The honored guest event primarily focuses on politics and worldbuilding, while the prisoner event has more horror and mystery. We wrote these events based on what we hoped each group would enjoy, but there is some opportunity to go with the other group if you'd like!

The downtime between this event and July's will involve basically the same setting as the TDM, except honored guests will have their powers back, they can now venture out into the town instead of being stuck in the castle, and an honored guest will be able to sign a prisoner out for a trip to the town if they say they need help with something and have them back in a few hours. Escape will still not be possible during this time, but hold tight!

July's event will be a longer one and will involve every character together without being split into groups. This event will involve war, more information about the other factions, and a better look at the Singularity.

August will begin by introducing our second group of characters (please note that we have a player cap, not a character cap, if you would like to app a second) and will then be followed up with two NPC logs that will wrap up the honored guest and prisoner arc and allow everyone to explore more individual goals and plot arcs from then on. If these first two events feel more linear than what you were expecting, they are intended to be a slow introduction to the game and a chance to build CR and start coming up with arc ideas before we throw you right into individual plotting.

There will be an opportunity for prisoners to be released before the NPC logs in August. More on that will be posted after this event.

Lastly, we'd like to thank you all for your involvement in the game! These first few months are going to involve a lot of us getting our footing here, mods included, so we thank you for your patience with us and with each other.

Some questions everyone might want to know the answers to:

1. Equipment and lighting in the tunnels

2. Clothes in the tunnels

3. How fast powers return for welcomed characters

4. Where to post top levels

Kay Faraday | 10 years in the abandoned worm mines

Kay is going into the tunnels as a prisoner, ssssort of by choice? She could've gotten someone to vouch for her to stay behind but she's too curious for her own good and a frosty mine with a weird monster in it sounds wayyyy more interesting than a festival.

(She will regret this decision once they get there and the reality sets in. RIP.)

She's in a prisoner group w/ Geralt and Alucard being overseen by Sam Wilson, but she'll be just, around, in general... Prrrrobably kind of working but also not really? She has attention span issues.

She has reason to want to go back to Thorne so escape attempts are a no-go for her, BUT ALSO she's no narc so if you want to try and get her involved she'll just politely turn you down and wish you good luck.

The most interesting hallucinations from her side of things are mostly going to have to do with investigating grisly murder scenes? She also has some ~personal trauma~ she can hallucinate about if that's more your speed. But also a lot of her life has been pretty chill and normal so if your character would just like to see some positive stuff she's got plenty of that to go around too!

ALSO I am absolutely down to thread stuff out from around the prison setting for the first two days before everyone leaves for the mines, so if none of the above appeals to you that's also an option 8]
