( october 2017 plot write-up and ooc plotting post pt. 1 )

[natha]

October's plot progression will be posted in THREE parts. Only the last part will be a formal event log, so players are free to take the information provided in these plot write-ups and plan their own threads. Characters will also have a choice to make. What will they do after learning about or experiencing these events? Please note that you YOU MAY ONLY SIGN UP FOR ONE CHOICE. This post will also function as a plotting post! THE ATTACK     Nobody, not even those most in tune with Olympia's underground, could have predicted the attack that will befall Olympia on the morning of the 1st of October. It's a busy time in the Market district, and that is likely why this group strikes when it does. A loud, thundering BOOM can be heard from the center of the district, and panic ensues. What was a pleasant morning in Olympia becomes one rife with confusion and fear. It's a bomb of some sort, and within a split seconds, the immediate area surrounding the point of explosion is covered with a thick, bright purple fog. There are no injuries. The explosion merely releases this unknown purple chemical into the air. Panic turns into confusion. Natives close to the attack site report beginning to feel unwell about an hour after exposure. Their memories of the attack are hazy. The following characters were unfortunate enough to be close to the site of explosion, and will now suffer the effects: Matt Murdock Bucky Barnes (Marvel 616) Junpei Tenmyouji Cheryl Blossom Allura Juvia Lockser Gaelio Bauduin Jean-Jacques Leroy Clary Fray Wrathion Athena Cykes Sansa Stark Rocket Lucy Pevensie Sirius Black Ariadne Rose Lalonde Percival de Rolo III Riza Hawkeye They have been infected with an unknown disease, simply referred to from here on out as VIOLET2710. At the moment, there is no call for a quarantine, as Empress Simwe cannot be reached. Although authorities are concerned, there seem to be no other symptoms other than those of the common flu. Characters will experience headaches, body aches, an elevated temperature, congestion, and cough. They are advised to get rest. The illness is determined contagious, but only through bodily fluids. Whether airborne infection is possible is still undetermined. Those feeling the effects of VIOLET2710 are advised to keep a close eye on their symptoms, avoid contact with others, and alert health officials of worsening symptoms. Infected characters may sign up for a choice as outlined below, but due their compromised physical state, will not be successful in completing CHOICE 1 or CHOICE 2. THE CULPRITS     The reckless terrorist is quickly caught mere minutes after setting off the biological weapons. She is a young woman, and has protected herself from the chemical accordingly. It appears that she did not anticipate being caught, and under threat of death, even she crumbles to a hearty dose of truth serum administered by Evras. The confession tape is sent as a city-wide broadcast to every citizen's phone. Remember the Carriage Quest? The Shady Man offered quite a large sum of money to those willing to do his bidding, didn't he? That's because someone intercepted his plan, and now, thanks to the help of certain people, he was able to get back on track. That carriage driver you killed? That was not his original cargo. The carriage driver knew that these were biological weapons meant to be set off in Olympia, hijacked the cargo, and raced to find a safe place to dispose of them. With the carriage driver killed and the cargo safely delivered to the South Outpost, the original plan was set to continue. After much resistance, she is willing to give up names. Soldier: 76. Ana Amari. Jesse McCree. Rocket. Peter Quill. Archer. Giovanni Rammsteiner. Leanne. Genjo Sanzo. Norba Shino. Those are the people who delivered the weapons to us. Thanks to them, your people will suffer. This is just the beginning, assholes. The feed cuts off. Unfortunately, despite having what you may have thought were good intentions, these characters are now Wanted Fugitives within the Kingdom of Olympia for the act of treason. They will be stripped of their job title, and will now have to wear disguises around the public parts of Olympia. Multiple postings around the city will show their face, and a 10,000 silver reward to anyone who hunts them down, captures them, and brings them to Ashti. MOD NOTE: There are ways for the above characters to re-gain their job title, Olympia REP, and clear your name, but you must allow your character to be captured first. Please PM us to discuss terms! WHAT NEXT?     What will your character do, if anything at all? Please note that these choices affect the next part of this event, and may have character consequences. Sign up for ONE CHOICE in the comments below. CHOICE 1. My character will dedicate themselves to hunting down the Shady Man and his associates, and will bring anyone caught to Ashti. CHOICE 2. My character will dedicate themselves to hunting down the Shady Man and his associates, and will kill anyone caught. CHOICE 3. My character will try to find a cure for this disease at The Sanctuary or Simwe Institute and/or care for affected PCs. Please note that characters who are not employees of either business are expected to work with a current employee(s). CHOICE 4. My character will be getting infected through close contact with one of the "Patient Zero"s. CHOICE 5. My character will be assisting affected npcs and uncovering rumors surrounding the incident. You have until OCTOBER 7TH to submit your choice. You may thread and plot with people outside of your own choice. For example, Character A who signs up to help find a cure for the disease may also thread with Character B in helping them track down an associate, as well as Character C in speculating on a rumor, but for OOC purposes, only their official choice will count towards affecting the plot. Please feel free to use this post for plotting!

juvia lockser + rick sanchez

[lacuscular]

Hello everyone! Juvia is one of the people infected! For the most part, she'll try and help other people like herself despite her condition. So if anyone, seeing the sick lady physically boiling out in public, wants to stop her or if you have previous CR, want to try and keep her bedridden/talk sense into her, then I'm open for either!

But if you want to get infected, Juvia is 100% bodily fluids because of her water body.... she's your gal.

As for Rick, a lot of what he can do is up in the air. He's more than likely going to remain in the background unless someone wants to directly involve him in the process of creating a cure or prompt him to investigate. If anyone sick runs into him, he's probably going to shove them off him instead of... actively being helpful. But he will be willing to help transport fugitives out of the city, or get them from point A to point B safely with his portal gun, for a fee... : ^)

[strictdiscipline]

Please let me thread with Juvia more....she's so cute.

Riza is also a patient zero so they can hang and be sick together.

[lacuscular]

Yes.. I've been meaning to pm you about the thread where they go to the pods but I've been busy-!! Them going around and being sick is just as ideal though tbh

Would Riza be going around investigating?? Or would she, perhaps, want to hang out at Juvia's house while she has the common sense to stay inside and rest..

[strictdiscipline]

no worries! i haven't been able to do much by way of tags anyway so this works out! we can handwave their cute (not cute) pod date and do current stuff instead.

i think riza will be investigating the first few days until she gets notably sick and then probably lock herself up so she could totes hang with juvia then. i'm game for doing whatever you'd have the most fun with!

[lacuscular]

I'm a-okay with handwaving their pod date! We can both conclude it was sad and heartwarming at the same time..

Juvia would probably want to investigate and see who had done it since they were both there when the blast happened so maybe she can join her in lurking for info? either from random people or from the wanted refugees themselves!

She can buy some food to bring with them too so they can have a lunch break

[strictdiscipline]

juvia you're such a mom.....

but okok investigation sounds perfect to me!

[lacuscular]

Sometimes you gotta be ok...

and I can write up the starter for us! c: Since I'll be throwing up a log sometime later today and I can pm you the link

[strictdiscipline]

that sounds excellent! i will lurk in the shadows until then c:

[respired]

juvia, do you need some help cooling off ...

[lacuscular]

Honestly.... yes. Put some ice on her forehead to keep her from boiling levels of hot in public

[respired]

she helped him, so he would gladly do this for her!!

[lacuscular]

She'd appreciate it aaaah!! There's only so much you can do when you're 100% made of water and you got a fever

Juvia will repay him somehow..!

[worldlyafflictions]

HELLO hi, I don't know if I expressed interest in tagging you already, but I figure there's a decent excuse to run into each other this time since Juvia and Rin are roommates and Shima probably will show up to bug him if he doesn't see him around for a few days due to them being sick. Would you like to thread??

[lacuscular]

Howdy!! I would love to thread! c: The both of them are probably going to be hauled up in their house since Juvia is inevitably going to get Rin sick, so he can maybe come and visit to check up on em and end up stuck with Juvia? 0v:

[worldlyafflictions]

Sound perfect! I'll tag into your log hopefully by the weekend if not sooner!

Re: juvia lockser + rick sanchez

[bentbloodline]

A waterbender totally needs to meet a water mage so they can have a more fun chat about abilities when Juvia is feeling better. Tarrlok is going to be investigating rumours, so perhaps he can run into her while she's sick in public.

[lacuscular]

Juvia hasn't run into anyone with powers similar to hers in game yet so she would be thrilled to meet Tarrlok! Definitely, though!! Juvia's been trying to help out with the locals as much she can and overheard a rumor, herself, so if he wants to hear hers or do some rumor exchanging, I'd be down!

Re: juvia lockser + rick sanchez

[tricksune]

i am the absolute latest, but hello there...! i was hoping to tag juvia's log, but i know it's been like a week and the second wave of symptoms already went out -- would you possibly mind another tag in, or if it's more convenient, a stage 2 thread? if it's too late or you've got enough going on as-is i totally understand!

[lacuscular]

howdy!! i wouldn't mind another tag in at all ;w; i'm alright with a stage 1 or 2 tag in! but if you want to do stage 2, then we could go ahead and kind of plot out what to do, and i could write up the starter on my log!

[tricksune]

oh, that'd be wonderful!! by that point yusuke will also be sick too but maybe they could run into each other at the clinic, or on the way there...? or anything like that, i can find an excuse for him to be anywhere thanks to the hallucinations, haha. thank you so much either way for putting up with my late butt, i really appreciate it ;n;

[lacuscular]

ooooo juvia will be heading over to look at the clinic, so she can maybe run into him along the way? while he's going through one of his hallucinations. and it's no problem! i'm a little slow myself so I totally understand ;u;

if you're cool with that I should be able to get everything set up by friday!

[tricksune]

and then i was out of town all weekend 💀💀💀 BUT YES.. BELATEDLY, that sounds great to me! i can absolutely have him out and about for a run-in, thank you so much for being willing to work with me!

[lacuscular]

I'm so sorry this is late ah!!!!!!! here's the starter! and if you want them to do like.. an extra thread to stay updated or to do smth small for phase 3 of the event since I lagged a lot.. I'd be down! ;__>;

[tricksune]

oh god no worries, i've been all over the place lately, thank you so much for setting it up still!! i'd love to follow up with something else as well; my stage 3 plans are super nebulous too, so if nothing else i can always drop a quick tag in her ic inbox after a bit :>b

[lacuscular]

it's no problem!! and thank you for waiting for so long..! my stage 3 plans are the same way so if you want to do that inbox thread where they just be sick together and complain about Life after the move, that'd be awesome! c:
