soddersays | May Event #1 Plotting Post

Character Name: Max Mayfield
CR Wanted: Any!
CR Not Wanted: N/A
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event: I'm definitely interested in Before the Storm aspect of things, and Take Cover and dealing with the fog and then I'm game for stuff in And All Was Quiet. She will be hiding in her house for most of the giant spider/insect stuff. Like, boarding up windows and shit. Anyone want to help her board up every window in the house? Fuck giant flying bugs.

Character Name: Fushi
CR Wanted: For this event? Fighting spiders, sheltering from the rain, finding the body of someone that's just full of bugs and being presented with the prospect of mercy killing them. Fushi will... probably not be able to, but I'd like to play with the moral struggle if anyone's interested. He'll be very distressed by the whole situation tbh.
CR Not Wanted: ?
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event:
-Getting partially burned by the fire and oily rain
-Rescuing people
-Hiding out in one of the non-occupied farmhouses and dealing with bits progressively being destroyed
-Totally trying to go to the mountain

Oh man, let's totally do before the storm and have them run back to the house as things start getting weird? He'll totally help her board up!

Yeah, maybe they can hear the sirens and venture outside to see wtf is going on?

And then the birds what

Fushi's wolf senses will be pinging like crazy :')

She's going to be alternately fascinated and horrified by all of this.

Character Name: Arya Stark
CR Wanted:I would love to have something happen to Arya in this event and someone save her? Perhaps one of the spiders snatches her, cocoons her up, and someone manages to stop them? Also would be fun if she could have some people holed up in her home and they can do battle against the bugs trying to get in the house, everyone holding makeshift weapons. Arya's got dibs on the frying pan!
CR Not Wanted: I don't think I want her dying herself this time (eventually, but just not yet!), but that's really the only thing I'm not looking to thread out for this particular event.
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event:
See above. Cocooned Arya, bug battle with household appliances, snarking the entire time between Arya and whomever is with her trying to survive the various goings on in this crazy town?

Character Name: Elliot Richards
CR Wanted: People to save? Fight alongside? Bicker with? idk??? anything??? F.E.A.R. CR.
CR Not Wanted: I don't wanna kill El so anything wrt that.
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event:
El pretty quickly found out about F.E.A.R. since he's a huge conspiracy nut and stuff like that is right in his realm. Because of his suspicion and his want to help people and be on top of things, he immediately signed up as a Soldier. So he'll be out and about helping people in cool gear, I guess. He doesn't exactly trust the place yet at all, but if it gives him cool goodies to help, then he'll help (Even if he'll mostly use his magic instead). This means if you want to experience a F.E.A.R. soldier that doesn't really know what the heck he's doing it and is basically winging it as badly as Shrek when saving Princess Fiona, he's your guy. Also he will 100% be complaining about how much he hates spiders the entire time.

Character Name: Newt
CR Wanted: Someone please save him. He's going to be running so much. His leg hurts. Please. But also, if someone needs help from Newt, he can certainly try to help.
CR Not Wanted: Don't wanna kill Newt either, sorry.
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event: He'll probably be accompanying Tommy to try to see what's up with that weird Mountain because we all know Thomas can't leave well enough alone. He's also just generally going to be trying to survive... He doesn't think anybody asked for this, go away tiny evil grievers. I'm totally down for making friendships through this event for him. He doesn't really know anyone yet.

Character Name: Elena Gilbert (The Vampire Diaries)

CR Wanted:

✦ F.E.A.R. things! This seems like the absolute perfect time to get things started with the others involved.
✦ Elena rescuing someone from a situation, trying to heal them with her blood, and things going horribly wrong. (See her permissions for info on her healing blood.)
✦ Someone pointing out that she's insane for whatever ridiculous Elena thing she's doing.
✦ Elena lives in quite a large house with rooms to spare, so if anyone needs a place to bunk down for safety in numbers, they'd be more than welcome.

CR Not Wanted:

✦ Things with the spider-creatures nesting. This is one of the things I cannot handle personally, so I'll be avoiding this part of the plot with Elena. Happy to have her battling those spider-things though, or getting stung / rescuing someone who's been stung, or even things to do with their feeding on people.
✦ I'd prefer not to have her first death happen this early in the game, but I'm not ruling it out entirely, since it could potentially happen if she does something too Elena.

Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event:

✦ Before the Storm - Elena is a Park Ranger and could be out in the forest when everything starts to get eerie and the siren begins to wail. This would be a great chance to run into someone else who's equally WTF about things, and head back to town together.

✦ Take Cover - While Elena might start off being smart and taking shelter when the black rain starts (either in the Parks & Rec Department, her house, or somewhere around town), she is most definitely the sort of person to run out into the run and hail to help someone else. She's a vampire with superspeed and accelerated healing, so she's not concerned with any injuries she receives, but she will be worried about anyone she sees out in that mess. Does your character need a rescue attempt? We've got you covered. Does your character need healing? Elena would certainly try giving them her blood to heal them, but unfortunately it would have the exact opposite result.

✦ The Mountain Sighs - Again, Elena will absolutely be out in the fog for at least a little while to protect someone or get somewhere to help. She'll grab whatever she can find to physically fend off those flying spiders (yay superstrength) and will help anyone who needs it to board up and secure their homes. And since she is a vampire, if anyone needs poison sucked out of their blood... Well.

✦ And All was Quiet - I have no ideas for this but I definitely want things.

Do you realize that apping facetwins makes it exponentially harder to figure out who I want to tag with

But yeah uh... if Newt wants a wolf/bear ride or alternatively if you want to kill some fog monsters, points to you points to me

Character Name: Randall Flagg
CR Wanted: Everything, honestly. I'd love to have him rescue someone, because I'd love to start getting some positive CR that will become complicated later when his true nature starts to come out. My OOC intro may give a better idea for what I want in general.
CR Not Wanted: N/A
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event: The sense of doom and an incoming apocalypse canonically makes him feel kind of giddy even if there's immediate danger present so people can wonder why the hell this guy's so happy. He'll also be interested in collecting samples of anything to study. I'd also love if he ended up using some of his more demonic/frightening powers to help others during this event, for a good mix of 'he helped me but also he's creepy'.

I'm up for playing all parts of this event!

oh hey elena. ur prettier in person uh you should probably follow me

... okay yeah, let's go.

Character Name: Beverly Marsh
CR Wanted: Any, all. She doesn't trust adults necessarily so other kids are gonna have better luck with being her friend. She's also more wary of girls because the girls she knows really freaking suck.
CR Not Wanted: n/a
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event: Before the Storm is gonna find Bev running around town on her bike trying to stock up on things.
Take Cover Bev caught in the storm on her way home after doing a supply run would be a lot of fun. During the storm itself, she's gonna hole up in her home. Once the power goes out, expect blanket forts and candles. If anyone wants to find themselves stuck in Loser House, just know that you will be expected to participate in fort building.

The Mountain Sighs Spider vs. Slingshot. Spiders gonna lose.

thomas doesn't deserve to be called out like this

Character Name: Scarlett Harker
Useful Links: Info Post + Permissions + IC Inbox +

brooklyn2181

CR Wanted:

F.E.A.R. things. Be it fellow team members, people who might want to get involved with F.E.A.R.but their character needs an IC excuse.

Partners in crime: With hell (literally) raining down on them, Scarlett will definitely try and partner up with anyone who isn't completely freaking out.

People who could use a rescue.

Scarlett will probably spend most of her time when not out there being crazy, at F.E.A.R. H.Q. There's plenty of room to take people in if they need a safe place to bed down.

IC Inbox things. I'm such a big fan of these. Anyone who Scarlett might help - even briefly - she will tell them to call/message her if they need anything else before heading back out into the fray.

CR Not Wanted:

Given Scarlett's abilities (noted below) it's actually pretty difficult for her to die right now. Not impossible, but death would need to be pretty quick for it to happen, or she'll simply heal from it (and then power warping). It's less 'not wanted' and more, unlikely.

Anything else is on the cards. We can hammer out boundaries in terms of graphic content before we jump in.

Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event:
N.B. If you'd like to handwave shorter interactions for the purpose of establishing a jumping point for future CR, or for using her IC Inbox, just hit me up. There's a solid chance that Scarlett won't remember everyone she picks up + drops off.

Before The Storm + Take Cover

Scarlett will be out on her Motorcycle when the black rain starts to come. She will be ferrying those in need to cover. She can take one adult or a couple of kids at a time.

Why yes, Scarlett is stupid enough to still be out there when things start catching on fire. Her bike can at least get her in and out of places a regular car cannot so there's potential for some hairier escapes.

The Mountain Sighs

Search and Rescue - particularly if somebody manages to send her an SOS text of sorts, Scarlett will head out to try and find people who have been taken by the spiders.

Weapons, even at F.E.A.R. are fairly limited, but if she's out there doing search and rescue, she'd at least take something other than her Katana with her so there's the potential for her offering you a weapon if you two are working together.

Her medical training is fairly limited but she'll do what she can to at least stabilize people before getting them to safety.

And All Was Quiet

Recon group to the mountain anyone? I'm really eager to explore this option as Scarlett can't go and heal away hallucinations.

Important Note On Abilities

Scarlett has Rapid Cellular Regeneration, this allows her to heal almost instantly from almost any injury. With power warping, this means that anyone within ten feet of Scarlett will get her injuries when she heals. The problem with this... Scarlett doesn't know this yet.

Ngl, I kind of want Max and Arya doing battle against spiders with household weapons.

Character Name: Chloe Price
CR Wanted: All of it
CR Not Wanted: did i stutter
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event: I'll probably definitely have Chloe get some burns from the oil rain/fire. I'm gonna have her hiding out during the insect shit for the most part, but I'd be down for plotting some things with the fog for sure. Basically if you got ideas, hmu, I'm open to them.

Character Name: Rei Kurosawa
CR Wanted: People taking shelter, people rescuing one another, finding out they're in trouble, anything goes!
CR Not Wanted: I'd rather she didn't die so soon, but I'm cool with her getting rescued, maybe risking pain or scarring from mist attacks!
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event: anyone want to take shelter together, figure out food supplies, not die via fire, things of that nature? I don't have any particular ideas atm, but I'm inclined towards the first two parts of the event!

slides in to christen your comment

Elena's going to be trying to rescue people herself, but those attempts usually lead to her being the one in need of rescuing, so we could definitely go that route if you're interested.

Character Name: Ellie
CR Wanted: Come at me
CR Not Wanted: COME AT ME
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event: Ellie is goign to probably try to kill the shit out of some spiders because wow no. If that doesn't work she is going to hide it out i guess. Anyone who decides to hide out with Ellie please feel free to make her shut up because she has her joke book and she is going to use it.

/slides in here.

F.E.A.R. recon mission to the mountains?! I imagine they'll both be pretty busy trying to help everyone else this event but the tail end seems like a good time for them to slow down and work together?

Oh wow, yes please, that sounds perfect!

Character Name: Bucky Barnes
CR Wanted: open to just about anything. I wouldn't mind people who need help, mutual helping or even people helping Bucky out. He's super strong and resilient, but he's also currently sporting only one arm and he's very much not used to fighting without his currently missing metal prosthetic arm, so he's at less of an advantage than he might normally be, but he's not helpless, either.
CR Not Wanted: Not looking to kill Bucky this time around, but just about anything else goes.
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event:
I am mostly interested in playing with the rain and other aspects of the storm, as well as the fog/insect things.

Sweet! And then I figure we can either backtag a thread with Elena meeting Scarlett and Vanessa or handwave introductions as being brief but happened, and go from there (I can't remember off the top of my head which one you were keen for - I'm good either way).
