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.

Contact Us

<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.)

Player Name: Dee & Andie
Character Name: Julia Wicker
Other characters involved: Wrench

Witness/Scene/Evidence: Marcellus Ver
Action: Julia and Wrench approach Marcellus since he seems to know the food and wine stalls well. They'll introduce themselves as being Summoned and Julia will mention that she talked to the botanist vendor and he said there were several plants known only to Ikorr. She wants to know if that's true of wine vines and if that's why there are some unique flavors specific to them. She'll ask more about wine production in Ikorr. She's friendly and cheerful and seems at ease.

She'll mention she's from a place that was famous for its food and wine, called New York City, so she's fascinated by the lands here. She will say that it's weird she's seen so many more guards in the past hour or so, she wonders if everything's okay.

While this conversation is happening, Wrench is keeping an eye out for anything that would set off his god powers again and if the glow shows up again in the food and wine stall area around Marcellus.

Thread: Thread
Notes: A continuation of here.

Marcellus answers that yes, Ikorr is an innovator of breeding new plants due to the area's lack of sun. Using magic and many years of study, they've accomplished what otherwise couldn't be possible.

He's surprised she hasn't heard about the theft by now. He'll tell her that it occurred, but not the details, adding that he isn't privy to confidential information.

The glow does show up around Marcellus. It doesn't point to him precisely, but it does appear to have some contact or presence in his vicinity. They can try to determine if it's related to him by asking where he's been throughout the night, though he may become suspicious if they're too forceful.

Julia says she's impressed, that she's managed to bring flowers back to life during the winter in Solvunn, but there is still sunlight there. If she wasn't only here one night, she'd love to see the vines and plants for herself, unless there's any here.

She says they did hear something was up, but not the details. She and Wrench exchange a concerned look and she asks who would do such a thing? He's from here so does he know anyone who would want to break in? It seems a shocking thing to do with Ikorr being so safe and this being a big night with visitors.

[abraxasmods]

While there are plants available in Ikorr, none are currently in the area marked off for the carnivale.

Marcellus is also surprised since Ikorr takes its security very seriously. He says he suspects the Feywilds may be involved. They're the only ones with magic to rival Ikorr, but he adds he doesn't know why they would risk starting a war now. He adds he's no expert, however, he's just a chef.

[divinityfrompain]

Julia's surprised to hear the Fey brought into this, and expresses she thought that they mostly kept out of the dealings of people now. Is there a reason he would think that they'd want whatever was stolen? She also wonders if there's any concern about Luna, given that they are in more direct conflict?

[abraxasmods]

The Fey keep out of dealings with the humans in the other main territories, but conflict has always existed between them and Nocwich.

He agrees Luna is another possibility, but Ikorr and Luna have been working together lately. He's not sure any of them would want that peace disrupted...though one never knows with the werewolves.
