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

soldier: 76
I'm up for threads where people manage to track him down, assuming they have a feasible way to find him (we can discuss possibilities here!), and for it to either just be a tense conversation or some sort of chase scene. Not sure what is going to happen with capture just yet, that's pending on the mods. Still, I know a lot of people want to hear the other side of the story, and 76 will probably be most easily found in the red light district for the moment.

But yes, this would be great! I can toss a starter up for us in my closed log that I'm planning, if that works? Where would you like them to meet up?
no subject
i figure she's going to try to investigate all the districts for information, so while she wouldn't ordinarily go there out of choice Allura would likely go to the red light district since she likely knows rumours spread more easily in those sorts of areas.
either that or in the market district but i figure 76 would be avoiding that as much as he can.
no subject
i will get something up for us then, and toss you the link when it's ready!

no subject
but um DEPENDING on mod response, Ocelot would definitely be up for planning some shady stuff where they can both look good in the long run.
no subject
and ooo okay! did you want to wait to hear back from the mods before we start anything, or should we just go for it
no subject
and whichever works best for you! I'm good to start and wing it until you get a mod reply or whatever!
no subject
okay i'll get something going and we'll figure it out as we go along \o\

So Haru here is going to be going after the Shady Man and his associates, but she's very interested in getting the other side of the story from the fugitives, too. Particularly in 76's case, since she's only heard good things about him from their mutual CR, she wants to get his perspective on the matter.
Of course since they've never met that might be difficult to manage, but would you be interested in plotting out a teamup where she gets his side of the story and helps him track down the Shady Man to try and clear his name, since she's not one of the fugitives and might be able to move around more freely?
no subject
And yes, then she can hear his side of things and they can try to track some people down. 8) I'm all for it!
no subject
Thank you, I'm really looking forward to threading with you!
