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 14: Prior to arriving in Abraxas, Amos literally just left a nuclear winter wasteland, so actually, what the fuck. He can deal with the cold and thin air just fine but what the fuck. He'll be quietly annoyed about the whole thing but open enough to conversation.
June 15-18: He's in a mining party with Susan and Alina, and they'll be supervised by Mal. Even though being forced to mine for shit while imprisoned is basically one of the last things he ever wanted to happen to him, he's not going to try to escape just yet because... uh... where are you going to be escaping to, exactly. So he'll work (while being greatly annoyed) and bide his time. At least there's an end date for this nonsense.
And I'm extremely interested in doing hallucination stuff! The Expanse has some horror elements involving a glowy blue thing called the protomolecule that basically assimilates you/breaks you down into your core components if you touch it (i.e., you're very much dead), and there's some human/protomolecule hybrid stuff, so that's fun.
