Use this post to:

◎ Coordinate event plots with the mods
◎ Request a mod dice roll
◎ Submit noticeable actions
◎ Write rapid IC exchanges
◎ Investigate a plot point or track ongoing investigations

If you have any questions, see the Questions thread on the OOC Plotting Post.

Available Forms

For details on each form, see the sections below.
Be sure to reply under your assigned category if applicable.

Mod Communications

If you have an idea related to the event plot, communicate and coordinate with us here. This includes NPC meetings, requesting resources, destroying the environment, or anything else that may require mod permission. If we can't accommodate a request for any reason, we'll do our best to offer an alternative!

Contact Us

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Request:</b> (Describe what you'd like to do)

Randomization Request

Request a mod dice roll at any time for outcomes and consequences. Some actions require a dice roll to proceed, such as attacking an acolyte NPC or attempting to break anything major in the environment (chains, doors, walls). If you aren't sure, you can check with us.

Request here

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Action:</b> (Describe what your character is attempting to do and how) <b>Thread:</b> <a href="urlhere">Thread</a> (Link to the thread where this is taking place) <b>Notes:</b> (Anything else)

Notable Actions

Submit notable actions that are likely to gain attention from other players, such as fights or disturbances.

Submit a notable action

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>When:</b> (Approximately when is this incident taking place?) <b>Where:</b> (Where is this incident taking place?) <b>What:</b> (Describe the incident) <b>Link:</b> <a href="urlhere">Thread</a> (If applicable. Actions can be submitted without a thread if they're minor, such as if your character snores loudly every night.)

IC Exchanges

Use this option for interactions you'd like to play out, but setting up a standard IC thread would be impracticable. For instance, if your character wants to speak to several people about an event they witnessed together, you might want to do an IC exchange.

Treat this like an informal IC network thread done in person, where character reactions, snippets of dialogue, and other details can be quickly played out and concluded in-game without committing to a full log thread. Exchanges are game canon and can count towards Activity Check under the category of a Network thread.

Start an IC exchange

Using the provided form is optional. Begin a thread freeform if you prefer.

<b>Where & when:</b> (Where and when is this exchange taking place?) <b>Purpose:</b> (What's the reason for this exchange?) <b>THREAD START</b> (Write the scenario, your character's actions, and any dialogue as usual)

Investigations

Several investigation paths are available for characters to interact with. Each assignment group will have their own set of investigation paths. You can investigate something as many times as you want, as long as there's a reasonable explanation for your character making their second attempt. Interacting with investigations might carry IC consequences. We'll try to telegraph when characters are at high risk of triggering something major. To investigate, fill out the form, then comment under the item you're investigating.

Interact with an Investigation

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Other characters involved:</b> <b>Action:</b> (Describe what your character is attempting to do and how. If multiple characters are taking action, include their actions.) <b>Thread:</b> <a href="urlhere">Thread</a> (Link to a top level or any other relevant threads. This is so we can review what the characters involved have been doing to best flavor the investigation outcome for you!) <b>Notes:</b> (Anything else)

Request: hello mods! i am here with a few requests/comments/questions! c:

- sam would definitely want to bring the issue of the missing people to marlo directly; he would be pushing the fact that this isn't normal, that it's a problem that is happening to both summoned and locals, and that they should communicate about next steps and what the cities wants to do. this can be threaded or just handwaved, as sam is looking for a point of contact and to open up communication more than anything!

- he's then going to, in that meeting, offer to work some shifts on patrol if needed and such but is basically going to tell her that he is asking her officially for him to have access to his wings until they can get this all solved. happy to RP this out, but he would definitely push the fact she is super busy, has plenty on her plate, and he already knows he's going to want to use them quite often.

- also less to do with direct NPC interaction, but around week 2, sam will be working with jaskier to spread the word around the city. specifically, they will be moving around heavily populated areas and making it known that they are working with the officials, and they are looking for everyone missing, and that includes the local abraxans too. if anyone (of the locals) has information they want to share, or a name of someone missing they want to make extra sure is recorded, sam and jaskier are both keeping lists alongside the government. (this is done more out of the fact that they are looking to bridge the gaps between the locals and summoned and make sure it's not just 'summoned are only looking for summoned' - plus, sam and jaskier know that with curfews and higher military presence, especially with the amount of immigrants in the city, tensions are going to run high and they are trying to bridge that gap)

- this is for part 2 but i want to state here that sam is going to be working towards that creation of a kind of search-and-rescue team across factions to go in and actually bring out some of the lost. this, of course, deals heavily with having a location to get to as well as use of portals to get there, but wanted to put it out here that it's going to be the first thing he jumps on!

Marlo would be willing to meet with Sam. She will remember him from previous meetings, naturally. She'll agree that it's vital to maintain open communications. She will also offer a firm but honest apology that this has happened under her watch and assures Sam the Free Cities is doing whatever it takes to bring the Summoned home safely.

After some consideration, Marlo will agree to give Sam full access to his wings if in return, Sam operates as a temporary contractor of the military until the Summoned are safely rescued (effectively, the duration of the event). He will not be required to report to anyone nor be assigned any military business, but he will have to submit a formal written report following each flight mission. This is only in regards to operations that involve the use of his wings. His contract will state clearly that this is an emergency situation and that once the Summoned are brought home safe, the agreement will revert to its previous conditions for both parties.

Regarding keeping lists and records, Sam is welcome to organize as he sees fit. The Free Cities will accept any help to keep the population calm and orderly.

When Part 2 arrives, Sam is certainly welcome to take the lead alongside other high ranking Summoned to form rescue and search operations. Once a plan is put into place, the Free Cities will support it and will provide necessary resources.

If you have any particular questions or interactions you'd like from Marlo, we can offer you an NPC thread, which you may start beneath the IC Exchange section. You can also let us know if Sam would have terms of his own or suggest an alternate proposal for having access to his wings. Otherwise, you may presume his meeting with Marlo went smoothly.

At the moment I don't think a full thread is necessary, but thank you so much for everything mods, this is all SO GOOD AHHHH.

During their conversation, especially after Marlo has apologized for this happening and commented on how she agrees about the open communication, Sam will also mention to her that they have reason to believe this is not an issue of the Singularity, but rather a separate group acting on their own, separate from any of the factions, and also pass along the information about the masked figures with the keyhole design.

He will also agree to work as a temporary contractor for the Cities, as well as submit reports of his missions after the fact, but he will make a comment about how when all the Summoned are returned safely, he would like to have another discussion about the conditions. But as of right now, he's willing to agree to the terms.

He'll end the conversation that he's glad that they can all work together to bring everyone home, and that he may be seeing more of her in the coming weeks if more comes up, but he knows that they're going to do more good working together.
