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

— june 12 + 13

i've asked for peter's cell to be RNGed, peter's in cell six, and i'll be super happy to do threads with cellmates once we know who's (un)fortunate enough to have landed up with peter! ditto for courtyard rec threads/between bars for anyone that's not his cellmate. visits from welcomed characters is also cool too! i don't have anything super specific i want to thread here — i know meet + greets can get a bit tedious, so am willing to handwave if anyone wants to say that our characters met in the dungeons.

peter will be keen to Meet People and Make Friends (or rather: get the lay of the land), but without his powers he's not going to be immediately rushing into any escape attempts. that'll ... come.


— june 14—19

again with the RNGing! (unless anyone specifically wants to buddy up with peter).

since peter won't have his powers at this point, he's not exactly going to be the finest physical specimen, so — soz, yeah. he'll firmly be in camp 'don't kill the worm' with a side of 'is this exploitation?'

whilst he's not, like, intrinsically opposed to escape attempts, he won't be convinced that this is necessarily the right time and moment for attempting it, but will 100% go along with whatever his groupmates go with just to make sure no-one gets hurt/dies/etcetera etcetera. as an overall, he's going to be very unimpressed with the whole situation, tbh, and hate it a whole lot, and given the number of prisoners he will want to be involved in some...thing.... that lends itself towards them all not being prisoners anymore.

hallucinations and dealing with cave-ins are totes cool too!


as a by-the-by for tagging speed — i'm based in the uk and am generally available early or for a period in the evening. i try to tag back at least once a day, and i absolutely tag more/faster on days off!

hello roomie! i don't mind handwaving some cell chatter introductions (in short: alina is a dumb teenager, a little sarcastic, self-deprecating, but being in the dungeons does not seem to be the worst thing in the world that has ever happened to her. also she has deer antler points sticking out at her collar but she doesn't really want to talk about it). maybe they can debrief after if anything interesting happens in the tunnels though.
webshoots: (( face ) peter parker's so nice they say)

peter is a dumb, somewhat sarcastic and occasionally self-deprecating full grown adult, so 👌🏻

but being in the dungeons does not seem to be the worst thing in the world that has ever happened to her

i mean, peter shares that opinion but he wishes he didn't. worse things having happened doesn't make it okay, alina?? but also: yes! debriefing sounds rad.
