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: Freya
Character Name: Himeka Sui
Other characters involved: Dion Lesage

Witness/Scene/Evidence: Marcellus Ver
Action: Himeka has been meaning to try and track down Marcellus for a while, regardless of all the shenanigans. If they can corner him in the Feasting Quarter, she's going to drag(on) Dion with her to have a lengthy chat about the local cuisine. She wants to learn about his techniques and preferences and poke a bit about his secret ingredient. (Though, chef to chef, she will understand that he likely won't be able to share with her what it is.) If need be, her clout as a chef is something she's happy to throw around...even if most of it was from her own universe.

All this included, she probably wouldn't be able to resist trying to challenge him to a friendly cook-off if he's up for it and nominate Dion as the judge because of his "unassuming palate" which gives them "even footing".

Dion will be mostly quiet and may be clearly (affectionately) bullied into this whole thing, but he will remark that all of Marcellus' food has been very tasty.

Thread: TBD
Notes: I honestly have no idea if this will bring up anything useful, but there's no way that Himeka won't find the local Gordon Ramsay and try to talk to them. I'm sorry for myself and her

Marcellus is highly secretive about his recipes and waves off her questions coyly. However, he's happy to cook a quick dish with her. He explains that because of tonight's disturbances, he can't spend time with Soraya like he hoped and thus is simply occupying himself around the Feasting Quarter.

As the challenger, Himeka can choose the dish as long as it can be finished within twenty minutes and contains ingredients they have on hand.
