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.)

I would like it on record that Heather wrote this and has coerced me into posting it. If this is too late, absolutely no worries lmao.

Player Name: Em
Character Name: Jack Townsend
Other characters involved: Lucifer, Nikolai

Witness/Scene/Evidence: Marcellus Ver
Action:
No one is here on purpose. Nikolai is an innocent bystander, Lucifer is an asshole who wanted to actually sabotage all this, Jack is trying so hard not to get involved with this whole Thing.

In the domino effect of Lucifer being near Nikolai and seeing a handful of guards, Lucifer oh-so-helpfully bats Nikolai down some stairs ("think fast") in order to cause a commotion? A distraction? Chaos? Who knows.

Nikolai, as gracefully as possible, in his descent causes Jack to scramble back and end up bumping into a crowd before landing into Marcellus, activating his postcognition ability on him (allowing Jack to see the memories of people around him in first-person perspective as though he lived them).


Thread: N/A
Notes: The only way Jack gets involved is accidental chaos.

Marcellus happens to be carrying a glass of one which may either spill on Jack or on an unfortunate bystander nearby.

Jack will receive a memory through Marcellus's eyes. He's in an opulent lounge with other similarly wealthy-seeming individuals. They're discussing the problems that Oleuni Square has caused their businesses and are displeased with the tenuous peace developed between Ikorr and Luna, which is what's allowed Oleuni Square to thrive.

A few subtly blame Marcellus for this, stating that his relationship with "the deputy" has prevented him from taking the necessary steps to protect their commercial interests. Marcellus insists this isn't true and says they just have to be patient.
