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

I'll be keeping the majority of my TDM threads and I'm willing to continue any or handwave how they ended. Since Mal was welcomed, he's been mostly trying to figure out how to get Alina and Jesper out of the dungeons. That's pretty much his priority before he thinks about doing anything else. Anyone who also has friends they want to break out of the dungeons, let's be friends!

Mal will be joining the prisoners for their fun little outing! He will be supervising Alina, Amos and Susan. I'm very interested in shared hallucinations, let me know if you'd like your character to see the following:

- Mal's dead friends, Mikhael and Dubrov, probably as zombies? He feels responsible for their deaths back home because they only accompanied him on a dangerous mission to support him.
- Volcra (link goes to youtube clip from the show), creatures in his world that live in the Fold that feast on human flesh. They used to be human before the Fold changed them into monsters and Mal very nearly got killed by one.

Or if you want to interact with Mal without the hallucinations within the tunnels, that's cool too!

Hey there Bucky's roomie! Let me know if you'd like to do anything before Mal heads out, as Bucky will be staying behind for the festival, or handwaving any room-sharing stuff. Bucky's not trying to break out any friends currently, but he's definitely on board with potentially helping others break their friends out.

Ooh did you have a top level that's pre-event? If not we can handwave that they've interacted. Mal has gotten pretty friendly with Sam since arriving so maybe he would have mentioned keeping an eye on Mal.

I just have an event toplevel with festival prompts, but I am super down to handwave some light pre-event interactions and then have them do something after the event if that sounds good to you.

Sounds good to me! Mal is trying to escape the tunnels with his bestie and I'm waiting to hear from the mods what punishment he'd get for that. If he ends up imprisoned I'll let you know (and possibly do an open log for visits).

That sounds most excellent! Bucky would definitely visit if that were the case.
