go to the OOC Plotting Post or IC Event Log

---

This post is for coordination while the event is ongoing, to prevent the IC Event Log from being overrun by OOC mod and player communications. The comments section will contain applicable comments and forms for you to reply to as needed.

Use this post to:

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

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 / Randomization

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

You can also use this section to request a randomized mod roll.

Contact Us

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Request:</b> (Describe what you'd like to do. Provide links if applicable.)

Interactions

Several interactions are available. For Part 2, there are fewer mysteries to uncover, but plenty to interact with to see what happens. You can interact with something as many times as you want, as long as there's a reasonable explanation for your character making their second attempt. Note that interactions might carry IC consequences, though we'll try to telegraph when characters are at high risk of triggering something. To interact, fill out the form, then comment under the corresponding item.

Interact

<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)

IC Exchanges

Use this option if you have an interaction you'd like to play out, but setting up a standard IC thread would be impracticable. For example, 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)

Notable Actions

Submit any 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, for example if your character snores loudly every night.)

[ cas does, usually, have some baseline level of recklessness, yes, but the pit's exasperated that over the last several weeks. the ritual's effects have been more than a little crazy-making, but the shock of the last 24 hours have been enough to reel him back in. now, it's getting all he can done before the sickness can drag him back under.

steve joins in on holding the vines, and the angel nods to him, a clear understanding of what they're agreeing to. castiel's response is quick, the answer seems pretty straight forward to him. if the risk gets even some of them free, it's worth it. ]

Yes. [ resolute, certain. there's no question for him. ] We'll find another way.

[ he doesn't know that for sure, none of them can, but castiel's clearly decided it. There's no point fretting otherwise until they're completely out of options. ]

[frontlinetitties]

[So maybe doesn't want to stay here for even a moment longer than she has to-- but like hell is she leaving at the expense of anyone else. Other Dude sounds pretty certain that they can find some other way out, but even if they can't, even if they're fucking themselves over so that everyone else can get the fuck out of here--

(She thinks of Jeannemary and Issac, her efforts and her failure to keep them both safe)

--her hands don't falter on the vines and she gives both men a resolute nod.]

I'm all in.

[wiedzminka]

[ Having seen the pulsing, glowing lacework of whatever the fuck that webbing is connected to the boulder while they were investigating the wall, Ciri has come to a very similar conclusion now that the bulbous, disgusting mass has been revealed.

Amidst the commotion, she knows this is their best -- possibly only -- chance to push for escape while their captors are distracted. The dizzyingly enormous, lumbering beast has left the wall crumbling, the webbing nakedly visible. When an opening parts, and Ciri realizes why, she delays her plans to just shove through the webbing with some sort of weapon and instead runs to the group of Summoned pulling at the vines. ]

I have an idea!

[ No time for preamble. Ciri wrestles with the pouches on her belt, yanking free a small, dented metal box that Castiel will find familiar. ]

If this blob is what's holding the web up, destroy it.

[assembles]

[ So all of them are in agreement, then. Steve nods and he won't question either of them any further than that. The types to go for the sacrifice play — he's not surprised that he's far from the only one here.

Ciri appears out of the chaos not long after that, and Steve eyes the metal box that she's holding, failing to understand its importance for a moment. But whatever it is, it seems like it'll be able to cause some damage and maybe even destroy the bars of this magical cage. ]

Destroy it? [ He pulls one arm out of the bulb to take the box from her, knowing that they can't lose any more time. ] This can do that?

[ What is it, some kind of magical grenade? ]

[wiedzminka]

Castiel said it's an explosive powder.

[ She glances over at him for confirmation. He's the one who could actually tell what it was, and she's just kept it safe, and dry as possible. ]

I think you just need to ignite it.

But if you're holding back those vines to keep the webbing open, then destroying it should stall the web reforming longer... theoretically. So you can make a run for it.

[frontlinetitties]

[Explosive powder. Gideon glances back over her shoulder, forehead beaded with sweat with the strain of keeping her hold on the gross webbing for so long. She knows fuck all about using something like that, but if these guys do--]

It's worth a shot, isn't it? If it blows a big fucking hole through the thing we can get everyone else out faster, too.

[unwings]

[ Castiel nods - yes, explosive powder. He knows, he sniffed it. very unhappy molecules bouncing around in that there powder. ]

Ideally, we'd wait until everyone else is out, but I don't know how long these will hold. [ either their collective strength is waning or the tension on the vines seems to be growing as the minutes pass, they may not hold long enough for everyone. ]

Put it in place, and go, Ciri.

[ there's not a lot of time left, and Cas won't be responsible for her being left behind. ]

[assembles]

Do we have a way to actually ignite it?

[ Castiel seems to think so, with how he orders Ciri to move on. Steve has no protest there. If she wants to try and get the hell out of here, she should, and he gives her a firm nod and a brief thanks before turning his attention to the task at hand: not losing his grip on webbing that wants very badly to close in on itself again. ]

If we do this, we need to all get as far back as we can after we light that up that powder.

[ He doubts the fuse is going to be particularly long, and while he's willing to stay back to let others find an escape, he doesn't want the three of them to get blown up in the process. ]
