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.)

Marcellus has no concept of angels, but says that Summoned blood hasn't been experimented with. He suggests it would be possible as long as it's voluntary, of course.

They can snag a strand of hair from Marcellus, but as others have discovered, Marcellus is not using his real hair and is wearing a wig. Castiel might be able to use his senses to tell that the sample doesn't belong to Marcellus. While the wig itself is made from real hair, it lacks the natural oils that would come from being someone's authentic growing hair.

That Marcellus is wearing a wig is strange by itself. Most guests have chosen costume-like wigs using bright and unnatural colors, but Marcellus's wig doesn't seem to be a part of his costume.

Oh I see, got it, thank you!

Would Cas be able to see any glass Marcellus is drinking from or any utensils he might’ve used to eat with that Koby might be able to swap out for an identical looking glass/utensil, so they can get a saliva sample?

Also, Cas could we willing to volunteer his blood if Marcellus is interested in it, if it could get him closer to sneaking a sample from him, either as a distraction or a way to take some dna on the sly. Like if it’s a mouth to neck situation, where he might end up with some saliva from Marcellus on his skin, he’d go for that? Not sure how likely that is, or if experimenting with it would be more of a clinical blood draw thing.

They can follow Marcellus, but because of their initial run-in with him, Marcellus will be quite wary and cautious of what they're up to. However, the two of them can take note that Marcellus appears to be extremely careful about where he leaves his drinking and eating utensils. In fact, he only ever samples using items that he keeps on his person and does not accept glassware from the stalls like everyone else.

If they report this to the Sentinels, the Sentinels will find this compelling evidence and will inform Castiel and Koby that there has been enough suspicious behavior from Marcellus combined that they are willing to allow the Summoned into his private vault.

[unwings]

AWESOME!! Should we put in a separate investigation request if we want to have them look into his private vault, or can that be continued on this thread?

[abraxasmods]

You can return to the Vault header to submit it there. You may also have your characters inform others over the Network if you wish.

[unwings]

Got it! I've put it up on the ic interactions, and we'll put in a submission on the vault header - thank you!
