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!

Smurf | Louis and Phoenix Wright

Phoenix is going to Solvunn with Kay. He doesn't understand the Singularity, and trying to control it AND trying to destroy it both sound like bad ideas... plus he just wants Kay out of the way of people who think it's okay to imprison and/or disappear innocent teenage girls. And look at that! All of his clients are free now, so looks like he's out of the job and he'd best go elsewhere now.

He'll try to help anyone he can, but his priority will be minors who look lost or afraid.

Louis has absolutely no stake in this conflict and doesn't really understand the whole Singularity thing (and no one's led him into the Horizon yet), but he knows that he's been lumped in with all the other off-worlders and they're all breaking every law on the books. He thinks it's best to get out of dodge, and will basically take a gamble and go to the Free Cities and see if Thorne's greatest enemy has more information for him to either get back home or build a life here. He'll likely settle in Libertas or Aquila, and he'll likely start gaining influence in its underworld within the week.

On his way out, Louis is on a temporary prosthetic, so he's not exactly good for running. He'll be damned before he asks anyone for help, though, so he's going to hobble as gracefully as he can to the library to pack up a few really good spell books, grab essentials from a few frozen natives (like a bag, cash, and a change of clothes), and then haul out. He's going to get a really cool tech-y prosthetic in the Free Cities later, after he's suitably gathered some clout.

Okay if Jon contacts Phoenix to ask him to shepherd Martin into the Horizon? Martin's going to Solvunn and Jon's going to FC.

Okay by me! Phoenix is going to be checking in on everyone he knows in the Horizon and gladly will guide Martin in if Jon asks.

I'm realizing how glad I am that they both had the same destination in mind because after reuniting with Himeka and Estinien and Relena and finding out they're also going to Solvunn, she's going to be very gung-ho about following them to their destination. Congrats defense attorney dad, you're now an honorary member of dungeon cell 1 team, LET'S GOOOOO
