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!

geralt of rivia | the witcher | free cities

[gynvael]

Geralt will be going to the free cities and in terms of jailbreak, his path is pretty set. he'll be focused on his witcher family. he's in the free cities exclusively to keep an eye on what they're doing, and currently holds no strong opinion about the Singularity either way (it all sounds bad to him TBH)

However, afterwards:

+ for anyone in the free cities who might have trouble meditating to see their friends, geralt can show them because he's been meditating...most of his life as it is. I'm good with handwaving this as well! Just drop me a line if you wanted to say it's a thing that occurred

+ always up for sparring, especially since geralt is looking to find his groove again. he hasn't gotten to hold his sword in 3 months

+ he's still pretty on edge because of Yennefer remaining behind and other things, so drinking times etc is to be had. Feel free to join him

beyond that, if you're on good terms with geralt, he'll be peeking in on everyone eventually both in and out of the horizon, once he's settled a bit with the fam.

Kay's going to be a bit sad they're not going to the same place, but she'll want to say goodbye and wish him luck and promise to check in w/ him in the Horizon now and then.

I also kind of wonder if we can handwave some meditation lessons having happened during one of their jail visits, because this girl is RESTLESS and probably needed to learn how to do that lol.

[gynvael]

Yes! Since she's going with Estinien and Himeka into neutral territory, he won't be too worried about her, but he'll let her know she's welcome to find his mountain again.

I'm also totally fine with that! She can walk away with lessons on navigation and meditation from him haha

Mal would like a drink with you, wolf man.

[gynvael]

yes come drink with him on the full moon

[princessvegas]

julie is staying in nott but once she learns how to get to the horizon, she would like to meet geralt there and have a drink with him




among other things

[gynvael]

yes excellent come have a drink with him and maybe show him some modern cocktails, he only knows like mead and wine. And vodka.



other things can be arranged

[princessvegas]

just wait until you try tequila, geralt

[productid4]

Louis is very interested. He sucks at keeping his head blank and will need help learning to meditate, and he'll want to drink with someone else from another world. He's very comfortable around people who seem like they could easily kill anyone around them and it'll be a nice change of pace from the people who seem determined to be nice.

[gynvael]

Excellent, I'm here for this! Geralt has never met a talking deer before but at this point he's not asking questions. He's always up for a drink.

Also it's only fitting Louis acquaint himself with a wolf of some kind.

[productid4]

The second Louis realizes what Geralt's moniker is, he's just going to stare in the middle distance for a while

His life is just a series of wolf encounters.
