EVENT #3 OOC POST

EVENT #3/JAILBREAK OOC PLOTTING
As of this thread, Relena has been returned to the dungeons to reunite with the other prisoners! However, she will have little time to do so, because immediately following her return, JAILBREAK WILL COMMENCE.

Things to note:

  • There will be no NPC interaction with Ambrose, Oliver or Elizabeth. Ambrose is frozen and cannot speak. Oliver and Elizabeth are enemies of Thorne who only wished to open the portals. As of the end of the post, they have left and will not return for the time being.
  • Everyone's powers have been restored, but powers cannot be used to force other characters to stay in Thorne or make a different decision. IC, this is due to the massive amounts of magic currently in use. Characters have to use their words to figure out where they're going to go and convince their friends to join them.
  • When the hour is up, the portals will close and the natives will be unfrozen. If your character is still in Thorne at that time, then they are stuck in Thorne.
  • The three cities do not like each other, and your characters will not be able to travel between cities yet. However, this does not mean that communications between characters who are separated will cease! All characters still have access to the Horizon and may visit each other there. If your character has not yet visited the Horizon, they will first need to join another character who has gone there (via physical contact), and they will then have access to their own Horizon.
    • But characters who begin spending too much time in the Horizon may become suspicious to natives, who will worry that secrets are being shared with their enemies!
  • Any prisoners who choose to stay in Thorne will be rearrested. Thornean authorities will be treating all characters with great suspicion and distrust, but previously welcomed guests may be able to establish their loyalty via information sharing and acts of service.
    • If you would like for your character to remain in Thorne but not be rearrested, they can use this opportunity to flee Thorne proper for the neighboring town of Nott. This will allow them to remain close enough to keep tabs on Thorne while also not being at risk of imprisonment.
  • Thornean authorities will not chase escapees. To do so would necessitate sending their armies against those of Solvunn and the Free Cities, and they do not yet see the need for all-out war.
  • More information about Solvunn and the Free Cities can be found here, but this is not information that characters will have during their hour of decision-making. Oliver's advice to choose based on each locations' relationship to the Singularity is all they really have to go on.
  • Individual posts for Solvunn and the Free Cities will be going up within the next few days. These posts will have more information about each location, as well as the opportunity for NPC interaction in each.
  • Please use this post to plot with each other where your characters will go, how they will decide to group together, and how they will attempt to convince each other to stay or leave!

Ralston + OC + Thorne

[personal profile] brittlest 2021-08-24 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Ralston is going to be sticking around in Thorne. Hit me up if you desire "Better the devil you know" type conversations. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY—

Ralston is going to be making an effort to note who goes where and in what proportion so he has intel to hand the Thorne authorities in his back pocket.

If you want your character to specifically be mentioned if/when he makes his report, please opt in by commenting here. Optional: Let me know if it's cool if we do some handwaved observation of your character so Ralston can provide additional ability specs or opinions (particularly if your character showed up on the information swap mingle log). I'd also be down to backtag these interactions if you're interested—I just know 'guy creeps in the bg' threads aren't necessarily very hook-y.

Otherwise I'll be keeping Ralston's observstions to #s and general impressions that I can scope by skimming the log.

Alternatively, if someone wants to figure out that he's taking a tally and distract him, I'd be down for that too! I still want him to get some info collection done, but I'm fine with making that complicated if someone wants to metaphorically or literally tackle that.

geralt is hard to miss, visually, so i'm totally fine if you want him to be identified in some way. he'll be popping into the free cities.

if you were interested in a little potential cr kickstarted in the background, geralt would notice him tallying and just not do anything about it, but he would certainly remember this if they ever see each other in the future. but i can also just as easily have him not notice if you don't want this!

Hell yeah let's do it! I'm all for planting a weird little cr seed for the future.

I'd be up for a 'better the devil you know' conversation! It's almost certainly not going to convince Emet to stay given that I've got other plans for him already and he's new enough that he doesn't really know Thorne all that well either.

Since Emet is also pretty noticeable, he's free to have noticed him lurking around at the info swap - while he wouldn't have offered a whole lot about his own abilities, it wouldn't be to hard to notice he spoke up most in regards to magic and related.

Local lizard/dragon-looking person who is a prisoner and running about trying to be a little helpful before they all jump ship off to Solvunn.

I'm not sure if descriptions were release but she is one of the previous escapees who made it to Hayle. She is also noticeably going to be casting some healing magics now that her powers have returned.

Estinien is going to Solvunn, and I'd say the most notable things about him is that he spontaneously grew horns, claws, a tails etc in a draconic way and is running around with Relena.

Also, he's going to be making an attempt on Ambrose's life before leaving, which sounds notable to Ralston's interests. The Darkling is going to intervene so he probably can't get a clean hit on him (and while time is frozen it wouldn't have any effect anyway) but the murderous intent will clearly be there to anyone watching

Ultimately he won't persist super long, both because of Darkling making it difficult and because Relena will urge him that they don't have time for this right now.

so yen isn't leaving thorne but she is going to be spending some time sending off a few people through the portal to the free cities (there might be a smooch??? with one who leaves??? who knows). and then after things settle be pretty loose with her info on who went through the Solvunn portal.

with her whole next step in her plan to get into the good graces of Ambrose/work her way up in that inner court, I feel like Ralston and Yen could have some interesting cr going forward, especially if he notes that she had people go to the free cities and how she's drawing attention Away from the free cities and/or might have other interests than what she claims around court.

THIS IS JUST A RANDOM IDEA but I think it could potentially open up some interesting cr moving forward so I wanted to offer up the chance!! c:

Extremely love this!! Sounds like great blackmail material that Ralston can give her a hard time over in the future. 8')

Thank you!/I will definitely keep an eye out for opportunitues when we can use this as a cr springboard.

she will absolutely despise him but also have to admit she fucked up and now has to live with it. c: we love hard times with people trying to hold up a particular image in a court setting don't we!!!! who doesn't love complicated antagonistic cr??? who have to pretend to be civil for the sake of reputations until they don't.

Feel free to note Amos heading off to Solvunn! He's a big dude (well, 5'11, but also built like a tank so noticeable that way) without much in the way of facial expressions who has been kinda radiating very aggressive energy lately but is going to be surprisingly non-violent through all of this and just quietly peace out.

But also, extremely down for a "better the devil you know" conversation with Brad, who is perfectly happy to stay in Thorne. Thorne's great, he doesn't know what everyone else's problem is.

checks 'giant guy to Solvunn' box. Thank you!!

RE: Brad and Ralston - Hell yeah let's do it. I'm coming off some crunchy work assignments that have slowed me down, but am still planning to toplevel and/or will find you on the log and throw something your way.

Awesome! And definitely no worries on the timing, I'm moving in a couple of days so I'm gonna be sloooow for the next week at minimum. I'll keep an eye out for your top level!
