This post is for coordination to prevent the IC Event Log from being overrun by OOC mod and player communications. Forms and instructions are available in this post.

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)

day 1

[philancer]

[ Sylvain's just relieved someone is trying to organize this mess.

After Steve finishes speaking, he moves forward to speak to the other man, offering him a half-hearted grin that doesn't quite hide the strain of the anxiety he's still struggling with for just being down here. ]

I can do just about any of those things, so what do we need the most priority of help on? Weapons or supplies?

[assembles]

[ Sylvain looks like he's had better days, and given that Steve once spent the better part of a day with him, searching under rubble for survivors (and sometimes finding corpses instead), that's saying something.

He moves toward him, reaching out to give his shoulder a firm grip. It feels like Sylvain might react well to that sort of tactility, the physical reminder that he's not alone here. ]

Right now, I'd say weapons. [ He's had a few people step up about food and water already. ] I think it's a safe bet that we're gonna have to fight our way out of here.

[philancer]

[ Sylvain shoots him a faint but grateful smile at the touch. It reminds him so much of Byleth for a moment that it ends up more comforting than Steve probably anticipated, even though the man was about as opposite from his old Professor as he could be.

But he just nods in agreement, because he'd come to the same conclusion. ] Yeah, all the trouble they took to get us here, I have a feeling they're not going to be all that keen on just talking it out or letting us go.

Although there's not a lot. Bones. Rocks. Some vines, maybe? I can poke into some of the tunnels, maybe. See what I can find.

[ At least if he can focus on what he's doing, it might hold back the panic a while longer. ]

[assembles]

Not the sort of situation where you negotiate, no.

[ There's a time when words are enough. Steve doesn't know that this situation counts at that, not when they've been taken prisoners by force. He's worried about why they've been brought here too. Is it to arrange some sort of ransom with the three factions? Or is there more to it?

He's not going to bring that up to Sylvain now, not when he can see that he's full of nervous energy and working to keep it tamped down. ]

Bones can be good bludgeoning weapons, but you could also break off the ends to give them a sharp point. If vines were weaved together enough, you could turn them into a garrote. [ Something used to strangle someone, in other words. Steve keeps his tone calm and focused, like he isn't implying that they might have to kill people to get out of here. ] Let me know what you find.

[ Then they can worry about distribution. ]

[philancer]

[ Sylvain just gives a curt nod. He, unfortunately, knows too much about makeshift weapons in a dangerous situation.

But he just offers Steve a playful salute and takes a step back. ]

I'll be back when I find something.

[assembles]

[ Steve gives a quick nod instead of returning the salute. He's way past those days, for the most part, but he knows Sylvain is just trying to keep his own spirits up. ]

Take someone with you, if you can. I don't want anyone wandering around on their own if we can avoid it.

[ Especially with the potential of winding, confusing tunnels. ]
