METAPLOT VOLUNTEERS CONCLUSION:

[ironwood]

REMINDER: THIS EVENT WILL RUN FROM FEBRUARY 17th TO APPROXIMATELY FEBRUARY 28th, ALTHOUGH MORE TIME WILL BE GRANTED IF NECESSARY.


Okay, Turtleites! Alex and I have shaken a magical eightball and our volunteers have fallen out of it and into our laps. Below the cut you'll find details about not only about the event but the groups and their various functions within this plot.



I'M ALL SHOOK UP

These characters are going to be the ones getting their hands dirty down in the sewers, and finding some gameplay hints while they're at it! There are three teams involved here, who will each be given their own objectives.

TEAM ALPHA:

 DOMINICK COBB
 MOLLY CARPENTER
 LOIS LANE
 ELENA FISHER (dropped) ORORO MUNROE


TEAM BRAVO:

 COMMANDER SHEPARD
 IORVETH
 HAMATO LEONARDO
 VICTOR BORKOWSKI


TEAM CHARLIE:

 NATASHA ROMANOFF
 JASON BOURNE
 MIAKIS
 KON-EL


Now in terms of objectives:

TEAM ALPHA is finding architectural schematics of the palace itself. This will include a couple of 'secret' entrances and exits. This information is best saved for a rainy day.

TEAM BRAVO is finding a grouping of blood slides; each one is neatly labelled in sequence. As for where they might have come from, who knows? They do look a little old, though... Also: they're going to be finding a Mysterious Book. This book, written in an ancient form of the kedan language, is filled with diagrams, dates, passages of information, but is completely indecipherable. That isn't to say it will remain so, however, so your characters should keep an eye on the Network for the next few weeks in case an NPC happens to crop up there with an interesting proposition.

TEAM CHARLIE is finding an examination room. This room is going to be a little... shall we say 'occupied'. Three dropped characters are going to be in this room in various capacity, but the exact extent of that capacity might surprise you.


The Event Log for 'I'm All Shook Up' is going to be going live on the 17th. It SHOULD BE NOTED: anyone is going to be permitted to participate in the log itself, but only the above groups will be able to find anything. If you are a member of the above group and you are not certain of how to ICly hook up with your teammates, please remember that the sewers are a twisted, convoluted maze and that your characters will/can be chased by NPCs at your discretion.



JAILHOUSE ROCK

Due to receiving more interest than we initially expected in this portion of the event, we decided to go with SIX final participants rather than the initially projected FIVE. Those six are as follows:


TEAM DELTA:

 BANE
 SANTO VACARRO
 BILLY COSTIGAN
 LEO VALDEZ
 KARA THRACE
 CLARK KENT


Keep in mind that anyone in the jail is going to be affected by the Turtle's calming influence, but due to the injuries the Turtle has sustained, that influence is not going to be consistent or as powerful as before. Your characters will experience flashes of anxiety and stress as well as the intermittent calming effect. ALSO: As with the above plot, anyone can be thrown in jail, but only the above six characters are going to have an NPC interaction for plot purposes. That NPC will be played by Roy, so if any details are needed please contact her via PM or her plurk/aim contact at vonnerdyce.

ALSO: if any of the above characters are accustomed to having powers or abilities of some sort, please note that they will find that these abilities don't work at all...


THANKS TO THE ROLLING SEA;

Thank you to our intrepid underwater volunteers, we've got our teams ready and arranged! They are as follows:

TEAM ECHO:

 PERCY JACKSON
 NAMORITA PRENTISS
 KARA ZOR-EL
 NOH-VARR


TEAM FOXTROT:

 LINA INVERSE
 RAPHAEL
 STEPHANIE BROWN
 DAMIAN WAYNE

Now, these teams were chosen and divided according to the depths the characters can themselves endure. Team One will be our designated 'Finder Team', with the Secrets Below The Turtle being made available to them, and Team Two will be our designated 'Fight Team'. As they can't go as far below the surface as those in Team One, they will be encountering an NPC-driven fight (with one of the mods playing the NPC antagonists in that scenario).

Everyone playing a character on TEAM ONE is going to find themselves getting a PM from our mod account with details about what they'll be finding. We are requesting that those details remain secret until such time as it comes up in the log itself. The PMs will be sent approximately on the 22nd, and the details will become ICly relevant when the Underwater Log goes up. The Underwater Log is going to be the last Event Log in this particular sequence of events, and is expected to be put up around the 24th.


FEEL FREE TO PLOT AMONGST YOURSELVES IN THE COMMENT HEADERS WE WILL BE PROVIDING.

Kara could also literally accidentally destroy the place when she freaks out. She sort of solar-flares, she blew up a street once. And she has a sonic scream apparently that... does... stuff? Kara can definitely initiate mass destruction.

And she probably would because she's (mostly) irrationally terrified of clones.

[littlecousin]

Nita could survive that, and Noh too, probably (maybe not his SCUBA gear), but I'm not sure about Percy. It does seem like a good way to blow up the facility if that's what the plot calls for. :|9

[notdreaming]

I can avoid it by having her fly/swim off first, since it's not an instantaneous thing. She would be 100% on board with rampaging, tho.

[littlecousin]

CLONES ARE PEOPLE TOO

[notdreaming]

NO THEY AREN'T YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND

but really you have permission to hit her really really hard

[littlecousin]

WOULD THIS BE A BAD TIME TO POINT OUT THAT THIS DISCOVERY STRONGLY SUGGESTS THAT YOU YOURSELF ARE A CLONE

she would feel bad about it later :(

[notdreaming]

WHY DO YOU THINK I'M SCREAMING

don't feel bad Kara should feel bad for being bigoted :C

[littlecousin]

IT'S NOT THAT BAD TRUST ME

but you're supposed to have Very Special Episodes for that, not punching

[notdreaming]

So what you're saying is, post-total-mental-breakdown they should have ice cream and an after school special?

[littlecousin]

That's, uh. Basically canon for Nita.

[notdreaming]

I support this plan.

[kelpful]

Percy can survive it! The water'll protect him, it's basically impossible for him to be hurt too bad when he's in the ocean

[notdreaming]

Shall I count this as a vote in favor of mass destruction?

[kelpful]

Sure thing!

[littlecousin]

Regardless of the final decision, I'm gonna start up a thread where Nita recruits Kara to follow one of the sneaky kedan teams so we can get this rolling, is that cool?

[notdreaming]

Fine by me! I added you all on Plurk too :)

[littlecousin]

She's gonna be so irrationally annoyed with him for not mentioning any of this.

YOU KNOW HOW LONG SHE'S WANTED SWIM BUDDIES?

[kelpful]

LMAO he will apologise when they're not busy trying not to explode.

Should we kick this thing off?

[littlecousin]

TOO LATE YOU ARE IN THE DOGFISHHOUSE

Kara and Nita will be ready to meet up with the other two soon.

[kelpful]

Sweet, just punch me over here when you're ready to have him slam in.

[littlecousin]

It's that time!

[nohsatsu]

I was completely late to this, harghlegarble.

Okay, so it looks like the posting order is Nita -> Kara -> Percy?

Should I just hop in with Noh after Percy's next post, then?
