Event #17 - Coordination

OOC Plotting Post ⦁ IC Event Log ⦁ Nocwich

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:

◎ Contact the mods
◎ Submit your suspected culprit
◎ Investigate the crime or track ongoing investigations
◎ Submit noticeable actions
◎ Write rapid IC exchanges

Available Forms

For details on each form, see the sections below.
Be sure to reply under the applicable category as required.

Mod Communications

If you have any questions about the limits or scope of what you can do before you formalize it in an investigation, you can go over the details with us here. You can also submit the suspect to Celeste under the appropriate heading. Submitting the name of the suspect is not required to complete the mystery, but doing so may contribute to whether the suspect is caught or escapes.

If you have questions about non-investigative aspects of the event, see the Questions thread on the OOC Plotting Post.

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Submission:</b> (Describe your question OR write the name of the Witness your character will accuse as the suspect)

Investigations

To leave opportunities for others, please limit the scope of your actions per submission. For example, if you'd like to test a key, you must specify a narrow set of locks in a particular section. Additionally, while there are no strict limits on how many investigations you can be involved in, we do ask that you try to stagger them a little to help us keep pace.

You can investigate something multiple times as long as it makes sense for your character to try again. This includes following up with witnesses if characters learn new information. To investigate, fill out the form, then comment under the item you're investigating.

Investigate a witness, scene, or evidence

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Other characters involved:</b> <b>Witness/Scene/Evidence:</b> (What is the witness, scene, or evidence your character is exploring?) <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> (If applicable. Linking a thread is NOT required, but can help us tailor our responses) <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 a piece of evidence, you might want to do an IC exchange. IC exchanges can take place in the real world or the Horizon.

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.)

BLOOD SIGNATURE

[abraxasmods]

[techmaturgy]

Player Name: Whit
Character Name: Viktor
Other characters involved: Hilda

Witness/Scene/Evidence: Babis (and backwash)
Action: Viktor and Hilda have secured a sample of Babis' spit via one of his mostly-empty drinking glasses, and will turn it into the authorities.
Thread: Thread
Notes: N/A

[abraxasmods]

This sample will clear Babis of any wrongdoing! The Sentinels will thank them for ruling out a suspect.

[wiedzminka]

Player Name: Lena
Character Name: Ciri
Other characters involved: Jaskier

Witness/Scene/Evidence: Retha's hair
Action: Ciri grabbed the hairbrush from Cassia's dressing room and is delivering it for sampling.
Notes: Since Soraya will ask how Jaskier and Ciri obtained the hairbrush, Ciri will tell her they found out about Cassia possibly being poisoned and her close friendship with Retha. As a bard, Jaskier was moved to help in the name of love... or "being very good friends." Ciri looked in Cassia's dressing room to see if there was evidence of poisoning and found this hairbrush. She took it to help get to the bottom of the investigation as soon as possible. (Ciri won't directly say she stole it or broke in, but she's not really pretending anyone let her in either...)

[abraxasmods]

Given the importance of the case and because Ikorr technically has no jurisdiction over the Summoned, Soraya will accept that explanation without further questions.

The test will not be a match and will clear Retha as a suspect.

[cointosser]

Player Name: Hannah
Character Name: Jaskier
Other characters involved: Kyle

Witness/Scene/Evidence: Marcellus Ver
Action: Jaskier obtained a sample pour of Dusk Rose from Marcellus himself. He's offering the sample for testing of whether Marcellus's blood is in it.
Thread: Thread
Notes: It's a shame because it's a pretty good wine.

[abraxasmods]

The sample is a match.

Please note this is not the end of the mystery! Additional pieces of evidence will only serve to build a stronger case against the suspect and may also help uncover his motivations, which is equally important.

While the Sentinels are holding onto all evidence gathered and are requesting everything be brought to them, they will allow the Summoned who've been working on the case thus far to review any evidence they wish.
