State of the Cycle - SECOND WAVE

AUGUST RECAP!


While there weren't any ground-breaking revelations in August, there was a meeting with all the initial arrivals, where they were introduced to their new "fearless leader"! They were informed that, while no one really knows exactly how they've been brought to this world, they're working on it, and that the accommodations provided were to make the comfortable in the meantime. They were further informed that, in order to leave HQ, they need to visit the hospital wing for a physical, you know, so they don't introduce any weird foreign diseases to an unwitting New York populous! The timeline has been updated to reflect this information.

The event log can be perused here if anyone would like to see the information revealed during those meetings!

Going forward, the physical can be handwaved by players OR Rachel, the NPC in charge of the hospital, can be threaded with here if you'd like to play out the physical.

It was also revealed that NPCs can be asked for certain accommodations if they were not already provided, here, and also that characters can take jobs both inside and outside HQ to supplement their income!

FIRST CHECK IN/ADMINISTRATION DETAILS


As stated in the FAQ, Activity Check-In is held bi-monthly! What does that mean exactly? NOTHING MAJOR! Really, just reply to this thread below stating that you're sticking around with whatever characters you'd like to stick around with! Check-in will run through the 27th!

Reservations are currently open through the 26th. Joins will open on the 25th and run through the 31st! Reminders will be posted about these dates as well!

See, the Admin stuff wasn't too bad, right? Cool! On to the fun stuff!!

SEPTEMBER EVENT: Dreams Gone Awry


Near the middle of the month, something strange will begin to happen around HQ, and it seems to be restricted to HQ as well. If anyone leaves, they'll notice beyond the protections around HQ, nothing seems to be going wrong. They'll also notice, inexplicably, that nothing strange seems to be happening as long as they're in the cafeteria. What exactly is strange, you ask? Please, read the brief timeline below!

September 14, 7:43 PM; A scream sound from within the forest and the Creator, Airy, crumples to the floor. Her fingers press to her head as tears begin to gather in her eyes. She trembles violently before passing out on the forest floor.

Day 1: Sept 15th
Buzz and whispers can be heard about the incident the night before. No one knows the cause but there is a private room set up for the happy brunette who greeted the new arrivals.

The event starts at midnight on the 15th and through the rest of that day. You will begin to hear whispers, see things out of the corner of your eyes. There is no saying what's there and you're the only one who notices these changes. Whatever they are, they appear to be tapping on your strongest feelings: desires, fears, hopes. Whenever you think you see them, hear them; they are always just out of reach.

Day 2: Sept 16th
Nothing has changed but people begin to talk about the new arrivals as if they are the CAUSE to Airy's plight. There are whispers, pointed figures and characters will receive more prickly welcomes... except, perhaps, from Gus.

Once again at midnight the effects worsen. Now you see them, figures from your past. Now you can hear them as they talk to you and try to guide or convince you of truths and lies. No one else can hear them. Items: posters, furniture, keepsakes can be found in your path. You can pick them up and they feel real but no one else can see them. Should someone walk through it the illusion fades. The people you see can also touch you (lets hope you aren't having a nightmare)

Day 3: Sept 17th
Panic...

Airy's condition worsens and her heartbeat begins to slow. Everything you've been seeing is now visible by everyone else and worse. Hallways change shape, rooms open up into old houses or memories or thoughts that you often catch yourself thinking of. Those in HQ will now see what you see and experience what you experience. Everything feels real and while it's contained to HQ what happens is up to your character. Be it happy, sad, or scary...or any combination thereof.

This is a player run event based around characters' most intense emotions, be it fear, anxiety, love, regret, and the list goes on. There will be no event log for this, and players are free to post network posts, actions, and logs for the event.

Please use the thread below for plotting among yourselves and enjoy our first big event!

Re: DREAMS GONE AWRY - EVENT PLOTTING

Rough ideas for my two!

Kristen will be reliving the GCPD shooting from canon (can offer a clip for this if needed) during the first stage. Once people start getting nasty to the newbies she'll be living at the NYPD thanks to her favorite word at the moment,"Backlog!"

Alexis will be reliving her kidnapping from her canon point. As for things going nasty she'll find excuses to not be in HQ unless she has to be, thankfully she'll have a job in the city by that point.

If anyone wants to find one of them in the aftermath of someone (thinking an NPC going nasty) punching them I'm all for that, otherwise I'm open to ideas!

I'd be game with one of mine running into either of yours after the fact. Elena replied to Alexis and I know she'd be worried about the younger girl. More so if she doesn't come back at night because New York is dangerous at night. So we can have trouble during the event outside in the city or in HQ afterwards.

I think what happens in HQ depends on how the event goes and how crazy peoples ideas are. Though I see someone punching Kristen (not because she's unlikable but she's sorta prickly so I can see it lol) Just noting cuz I like her lol but yeah. >.

Maybe Alexis is late returning from giving a night tour (I applied for her to work as a tour guide) and cue Elena being worried? Things can go from there otherwise?

As for Kristen I can totally see her being the target of some random NPC (she's working on the whole being prickly thing). She splits for the office soon after unless someone finds her first (then she takes the overtime just to escape the tempers)?

Yeah! That'd be cool. More so with weird stuff happening at HQ she wouldn't know if it was just them or if it was the city or just the arrivals so she'd want to check on her.

I image for Kristen, like if she gets hit and Grace is there and she tells the person that it isn't nice and they should apologize and go think about what they did lol. IDK why but it makes me laugh.

EVENT PLOTTING: GRACE & ELENA & HANNA

[personal profile] stressshopping 2016-09-03 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Grace will be hearing her father call to her. I'm not making a post for her but she'll run into others during the three days and entertain what they see while asking if they've seen her father.

Elena might have a post. I've yet to decide. She'll most likely wrestle with parts of herself that she hides or doesn't like. If I put up a post it might be her accidentally shifting when she doesn't want too or I might save that for another time. She has a lot of her past that she doesn't like, doesn't accept and runs from. She simply doesn't talk about the things haunting her so if you want to learn about them this is probably the best way to do it. So anyone interested please let me know and we can plan something out.

Hanna THIS IS MY BIG SORTA PLOT IDEA!!!! I want to have people receive texts from A. It'll have some teasing remark about something from their past that they are ashamed off or hiding and then tell them to do something COMPLETELY HORRIBLE to those that they have met or care about here. All of them will be signed -A and no one will know who it is but if someone where to follow the texts (Like Caleb or anyone good with computers) they will find that the texts came from Hanna's phone though she'll have no memories of this.

It'll happen on the third day so like an added part of the crazy and it can even have something to do about the crazy like if you see someone from your past and the text tells you that you have to help them do something horrible or whatever. I'm happy to think of things and plot this out. I think it'll be an interesting layer and of course its up to you what you want it to be.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU'R INTERESTED IN BEING EVIL TO YOUR MUSE!
Thank you <3

Well if you're going to put up a post I can tag it with Grace or if you'd rather interact with 'A' or Hanna. I'm unsure which things I'm having posts for since I want to see everyone else's plans too. Grace is the only one I'm not having a post for.

Remy - Event plotting

(Yeah, I know this is the wrong journal)

So, Gambit has had a few run-ins with the Brood, and that's what his dreams are going to manifest in HQ thank God it's only one day. So, on the 17th, people can be attacked by the brood. They're an evil race of insectoids with a sort of hive-mind mentality that enjoy, among other things, eating people and trying to lay their eggs inside them. HAVE FUN WITH THAT EVERYONE!
