October Plotting Post : Part 2

OCTOBER PART 2 PLOT PLOTTING POST

All those who have signed up for the second part to the October Event may plot here! Sign-ups have since been closed and you can find all group listings here as well as some important information pertaining the event. The event is here.

Only characters who have been signed up may interact directly with this event. However, characters can still bring attention to what's going on to the rest of Deerington. That means you can still have a character make a network post about something they have discovered and characters who are not signed up may interact with it. But as far as the actual investigation and obtaining items go, make sure to stick to just those who have been signed up!

If you have any problems or questions, let us know!

Please make sure to plot thoroughly with your group here and make sure that no one gets left out and everyone is on the same page to have a good time!

It will be assumed that all items have been obtained and sacrificed by November 1st at the latest. Your characters do not need to do this exactly IC, but for the sake of game-wide consistency, it will be figured that they have accomplished the task by this date at the latest.

Have fun everyone!

[discerp]

Character Name: Mikan Tsumiki
Character's Group: 3
Involvement in that group: If anyone has a character that would be too squicked out to do the actual cutting someone open for an organ or whatever, Mikan is known in her world by the title of Ultimate Nurse, so she's perfectly suited for this sort of thing and wouldn't mind doing so.

Ideas for the Group: The closer to falling into a despair-like state Mikan gets, the more giddy she'll become. So instead of becoming despondent or woe-is-me, she might start randomly giggling more or looking dazed in a way that, er, might seem sexual, and she'll become more hyper-focused. She probably won't sink at all and may say really off-the-wall things.

("We're going to die here."
"(dreamy voice) Wouldn't that just be terrible?")

Also if anyone gets sick/injured/etc. Mikan is scarily accurate at diagnosing at a glance and always carries around bandages with her, and some other minor first-aid sort of things in her apron so.

thumbs up.

yall in good hands maybe sorta.

Character Name: North
Character's Group: Chapter 3: The Remains
Involvement in that group: So like, does anyone have strong objections to their character not losing an organ? Because for Reasons otherwise it can be North. Unless someone else really, really wants to come back with 50% fewer eyeballs or kidneys or whatever.

GROUP 1

[barmherzig]

Character Name: Angela Ziegler
Character's Group: Chapter 1: Hospital
Involvement in that group: I am game for whatever. I just wanted to offer a good lead in to maybe getting a team together. I have a post that I was going to put up with Angela one way or another because it talks about the F.E.A.R. medical bay and the hospital since that's where she works and has been keeping a close eye on things. I had her make a post that could be a good starter to getting things together for the plot if anyone is interested in using that as an IC plotting devise? Either way, let me know what your thoughts are on doing this thing!

Angela Post

[discerp]

live your dreams, north. mikan certainly wouldn't be volunteering as tribute at least (normally she might but under these circumstances she'd be way more interested in observing/doing the surgery as opposed to being on the receiving end)

[azurestar]

Character Name: Lance
Character's Group: chapter 3
Involvement in that group: Lance is new here and he's become really concerned about the affect Deerington has had on his friends, so he's gonna be as active a participant as he can be with his skillsets to try and figure out what's happening. However, his skillsets are more suited to protecting and saving others, usually by putting himself in danger, being a really good shot and being really compassionate. He's... not an intellectual, though he'll try his hardest.

Ideas for the Group: Generally, I'd just love to see everyone get a chance to shine and participate and get nice CR with everyone else. I'm a fucking hippy like that. If I think of something actually useful, I'll edit or add a comment to this thread.

EDIT: lance could totally succumb to the despair by around like day 2-3, and he's also accident and danger prone, so if anyone wants to rescue him at any point, he is good for that. On the other side of things, he's also the kind of dude to throw himself in harm's way to save others. So if you need saving, he is also good for that! And lastly, if you need emotional support and someone to talk to, he'll do his best to lift your spirits somehow if he's not otherwise falling apart himself.

EDIT: I wanna try to have lance befriend one of the stilt creatures somehow. And idk, ride one? if that's possible. Maybe they can get one to carry someone who is hurt at some point.

[azurestar]

Dude, I would love to have some interactions with Mikan, I'm so happy we got put in the same group! Lance would be totally freaked out by her, but also feel strangely like he should make sure she doesn't fall into a death trap while she's looking dazed.

He will also likely get sick/injured at some point in some way for some reason or another. He's prone to danger.

[sanzensekai]

Character Name: zoro
Character's Group: 3
Involvement in that group: zoro is really forthcoming in his Group Activities with his crew, so he'd both be a team player and involved with getting people through alive. or alive-ish. he can try.

Ideas for the Group: i'm honestly really flexible, and zoro has been brought to his knees before (in a sort of jokey/gimmicky lighthearted way) in despair, saying he was worthless and wanting to die.

that being said, i'm open to him being one of the ones to get sucked into the bog in a similar vein. it would probably be easyish to get him back out though.

injury is fine with me and death is ok too!

Shiro | 4

[shiro2hero]

Character Name: Shiro
Character's Group: Group 4
Involvement in that group: Shiro's going to be dead tired during this event, but he's also going to be employed as a Guardian for the duration. He's got a handy dandy metal arm that glows and is a handy-dandy weapon.

Ideas for the Group: He's literally willing to be thrown anywhere, and will fight anything like a big, dorito-shaped ballerina of death. Sort of. He's best suited to either 1 vs 1 combat, or directly protecting someone. He is absolutely the type to throw himself into a situation where he'd take a hit for someone else, too.

I'm up for any kind of plotting!

[sanzensekai]

hey same group! i feel like if mikan gets sucked into the swamp zoro will probably seem a little irate and actively try to get her to Snap Out Of It because it's weird and morbid and also it's dangerous lol

[azurestar]

I know I would find Mikan performing surgery on an android super interesting if it's possible haha.

[discerp]

mikan's going to come out the other side of this profoundly embarrassed about how she acted and just be like I'M SO SORRY to everyone in her group. which, lbr, is that going to be more or less weird/freaky than high-on-despair!Mikan?? time will tell

i'm so sorry lance u don't deserve this but it'll be great entertainment for the rest of us

[discerp]

being weirded out and irritated by mikan is the right response tbh she'll probably swing back and forth between her 'normal' state and this weird despair-high of her's so it'll def. be interesting.

I'M SORRY IN ADVANCE FOR MIKAN'S.... EVERYTHING...

Group 1

[rosydisposition]

Character Name: Kurama/Shuichi Minamino
Character's Group: Chapter 1
Involvement in that group: Kurama is a very good advisor and a great fighter. He can puzzle things out, help keep the group calm. And, if necessary, he can offer some on-site healing to keep people alive. He's going to be very business-like with a group of people, and drop the normal human teenager act. He's good in a role of advisor or wise-man and will definitely help piece things together/guard the rear.

He can be nurturing, but he has to care or want to help.

Ideas for the Group: I don't have any particular plans, really! Honestly, I'm willing to fill any role necessary, but Kurama's going to want to go and explore, try and learn what he can.

[rosydisposition]

I like this! Kurama's a pretty decent healer and very knowledgeable in herbs and plants and tends to make his own medicines. I'll hit up your post soon!

Rei Kurosawa | 4

[shuttersense]

Character Name:
Character's Group:
Involvement in that group: I'm thinking Rei will be the Seer! Seeing how she is not great at combat, but she does have a lot of compassion. She's also quick on the research and thinking on her feet!

She'll also try her best with soothing Trico.

Ideas for the Group: I'm thinking that we'll all have to think of how to get the items sacrificed to wake Sodder up, but I'm sure the Seers can try to keep Trico calm via their various abilities while the Guardians pull them out?

Rei can take photographs of all three items, but I'm not sure it'll do anything. I'll have to ask.

ALL THE PLOTTING

[incandescentfaith]

Character Name: Rei Hino
Character's Group: 3
Involvement in that group: Rei can and will likely be actively trying to help? Especially for people who start to sink into the mud. She isn't likely to start falling into despair or anything. That's not really in her vocabulary. She may become Mars if things get hairy but I'd rather keep her human as a part of this adventure due to some events.

Also she has this crazy glitter pen sword that can instill hope and love in people?

Finally, she can purify the water with some of her magic so they won't, like, die of thirst.

Ideas for the Group: So I'd very much like for Rei to talk someone out of staying and drowning. I'd also be highly amused if she hands off one copy of the glitter pen sword to someone who's struggling.

Beyond that, I'm up for her involvement in most things? Maybe giving or receiving mouth to mouth.

[shuttersense]

Looks like Shiro can help with keeping with the defense in the end for certain! And he can lift and carry people to certain locations when things get a little bumpy.

I'm mostly just shooting out random ideas and saying hi, you ready to go on an adventure

[shiro2hero]

I'm just picturing him picking up and hauling people over his shoulders like they're sentient bags of flour honestly

Which is hilarious.

Hi, let's do this.

[azurestar]

Hey there! I have gone back and forth on whether Lance would succumb to the despair, and I feel like he might by like the third day? So if you wanted him to be who Rei passes off a glitter pen sword to... I would also find that really amusing.

I'm also down to do any of the other stuff you listed or other stuff not listed, I'm very flexible :3

[incandescentfaith]

Let's do it. I'm completely good with Lance and the glitter pen sword. I'm willing to do that prompt more than once event.

We'll see about other prompts! and I'm sorry I haven't hit your tag-in back yet. Today/tonight have been hectic IRL but it's coming soon.

[azurestar]

OH GOOD, my brain didn't catch the part where she had copies haha.

no need to apologize! I've been a little overloaded myself so I understand.

[incandescentfaith]

Oh no! the sword can make a copy of itself once every 5 hours! It's a COMPLETELY ridiculous gift

[shuttersense]

I feel like he'd do this because it's a little rocky or they're about to get into trouble

make them punishment shoulders Shiro

[azurestar]

oh. my. god. that's incredible. Lance will come to treasure it im sure.

[shiro2hero]

LMFAO

"You can't be trusted not to die, time out shoulder for you!"
