Player Plot: Murder Prom

Prom. It's gonna be killer.

Hello fellow Deerlings! Cheryl here with a player plot for you all! I bring to you: Murder Prom.

Over the last month or so, flyers have been going up about Prom Night for the Seniors of Deerington High. All high school students can attend, with the younger ones welcome as guests. The thing is: people will feel compelled to go, despite the shifting climate of the town as March shifts into April. Of course, this is Opt-Out, you can have your characters not be compelled.

This plot is open for all: high school students and staff, Sleepers who might sign up as chaperones, or people who witness the carnage once the attack kicks off and come running to help Sleepers caught up inside.

And the surprising thing is: it's a pretty regular prom, maybe a little dated. But very normal and somewhat fun? Man, there's even some pretty cool crowns for the Prom Queen and King, too. They look a little weird but don't worry about them. It's going to be a pretty nice night! People can actually have a little fun! In Deerington? Wild.

That's until she appears. The Ghost of the Prom Queen is an entity of a long-dead student killed on Prom Night due to 'mysterious circumstances' and she is pissed. Pissed at being forgotten, pissed at her death, pissed they're going to give her crown away. She's lured students, staff and other Sleepers alike to attend the Prom to enact her revenge. The ghost will unleash an attack on the party, in a Carrie style haunting: flinging attendees across the room, crushing them with decorations, electrocuting them, setting fires. It's a blood-bath, really, with plenty of opportunities for characters to be killed.

I encourage everyone to go wild with this: be as creative as you like with how you want to go with this. Harm your characters, kill them, traumatise them, whatever you want! And cause as much destruction to the High School as you like — I've been given mod approval!

Characters can try to escape, try to help each other, or try to fight the Prom Queen. She can be temporary halted by usual anti-ghost methods (ie. iron, salt, that sort of thing) or if your character has some kind of special power that is useful against ghosts, but the only way to truly stop the her is to destroy the Queen's crown, the object she's haunting/source of power. She's been very protective of the object during her attack, allowing players to work out it's importance, and once destroyed — she's defeated.

Essentially it'll be open for some nice party fun-times and ghost attack. It's pretty flexible in terms with what you can do with it. I'll be planning on putting the plot up on April 1st with an in-game date of April 2nd.

Overthrow The Queen.

While the Prom Queen is free to be halted by multiple characters in threads if they choose to go up against her, I'll post a comment for those who want to sign up to killing the Prom Queen as some teamwork will be required in keeping her distracted for someone to destroy her crown. Basically, it's something to players to work out amongst themselves. I'd like to limit it this to 3 players, but if more sign up / there's a lot of interest, I'll RNG it for who'll be playing it!
