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

Estinien Wyrmblood | Final Fantasy XIV | Tunnel Jail
Estinien will be in prison as he was in the TDM and getting to know his cellmates/canonizing TDM threads where applicable. Not much to report here, but I'm open to meeting any other prisoners or curious guests during this time.
June 14th-19th:
Estinien experiences the faintest trace of freedom and immediately goes full tunnel vision with trying to find a way to escape. His time in the tunnels is going to be spent on the following:
➔ Gathering just enough crystal to keep guards off his ass. (Most of this will be done by Himeka because she's a tryhard and is going to give him crystals to turn in.)
➔ Experiencing a close call with a cave-in early on, deciding he needs to get out of this place before Thorne kills them, and going full escape plan. (Let me know if you want to be there for the cave-in.) He'll dig out a small path to squeeze through in the cave-in rubble and use that as a place to hide out at the end of the mission and pretend to be lost/dead in the tunnels.
➔ Tracing the same steps repeatedly to ensure he remembers the way out for when he tries to escape later. Collecting the sharpest crystals he can find to hopefully use as a weapon later. Requesting a shovel to deal with the cave in and stashing it in his hidey-hole.
➔ At some point, Himeka will distract him with trying to find the frostwurm which he will uncertainly follow along with.
➔ If you want to see his many dragon-related hallucinations, he can make that happen!
➔ When the mission is close to over and things seem to be wrapping up, he will get "lost" with Himeka and Eponine and hide in his designated hidey-hole. Then they get to wait two days or so in the dark for the coast to be clear and escape out into the wilderness and rough it until they approach the nearby town of Hayle and get CAPTURED AGAIN LIKE PUNKS. (Mod details here.)
Estinien is going to be on a team with Eponine, Majima, and their supervisor Kiryu. Only Majima and Kiryu will be coming back in the end, so feel free to note that he and his escape team are seemingly Dead From Mining for multiple days before they are captured again.
I'm going to be trying to make a top-level to contain some of this but also have a list of people I want to tag out to instead if they have their own top-levels.

but also sign her up for a dragon-related hallucination, please

Do you want scary attack dragons or dragons that talk like people? (All dragons are sapient in FFXIV but he has a lot of memories where they don't bother trying to communicate.)
