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

Hello here is the darkling.

12-13
  • confined to Cell 3, along with Randall Flagg, Éponine Thénardier and Jesper Fahey
  • this means only my TDM thread with Flagg is going to survive, alas, but there is plenty of time to make friends here
  • definitely flipped out on arrival, inspiring Thornean attendants to gently knock his ass out, and was brought to the cell unconscious; upon waking and realizing his powers were taken, he did a real mad yell that maybe you heard

  • 14-19
  • Babes in Wurmland, party consisting of Randall Flagg (he's everywhere) and Ezra Bridger, and their very responsible and emotionally stable supervisor Kylo Ren
  • somebody will make an escape attempt, in which Kirigan will participate somehow
  • feast? maybe? will he get in trouble before then, let's find out

  • likely to...
  • hate this
  • be terrible at mining on purpose because he hates this
  • look and feel ill due to suppressed powers
  • encounter other people while trying to find a place to sulk by himself
  • potentially become involved in escape attempts, hallucinations or cave-ins (results may vary)
  • use conversation to sow seeds for future endeavours (don't worry about it)

  • Probably not posting a top-level comment, and will instead flit around the post, so if you desire and/or require this ancient dillhole anywhere specific please let me know directly so that I may inflict him upon you.

    how about they mysteriously managed to not encounter each other in the rec yard so he can have a tender (naturally) reunion with the keramzin orphans and no one is totally sure isn't a hallucination.

    Now that's what I call a worm date. Yes please. He's not going to look much the same as usual without the intentionally imposing silhouette and all, and will be keeping to himself mostly, so easy to overlook... and maybe they're let out in shifts or something. We'll just say it happened that way.

    she didn't recognize him without his 345439534 layers. whatever convenient handwavy reason works. i'll get a top level up and ping you for worm dates.

    Definitely up for some cell mate things? She's definitely socially awkward enough to be looming over him when he wakes up, or making asinine comments about his lack of powers.

    Bless. If we can work that dynamic into a scene at the event, that would suit me best, I think—maybe handwave the earlier celly bits and get in those tunnels, if you're up for that?

    Yes most definitely! I’m going to post a tunnel one for her when I’m in from work later!
