BAD COMPANY: plotting post 2 + voting for the conclusion
● ● ● FEBRUARY PLOTTING POST: MISSION LOG 2
The time has come to reveal some things about the second log. It will ICly follow the NPC thread with Welford Branson, the events in the second log taking place immediately after the end of the thread. We highly recommend that everyone give the thread a read.
Before you get into planning, here is a quick recap of what has been found out so far:
• The inhabitants of the town don't seem to have any thoughts or feelings.
• Something keeps the team from finding out more about the deaths in the town. The bodies of people who die also seem to vanish into nothing, as if they've never been there at all.
• None of the food served in the town contains any nutrients, but the water in there is real. This has led many of the Orbers to suspect nothing in the town is real at all, both the food and the people.
• Something that is real is the embera, the snakes found in the mines. Contrary to what the townspeople say, they are actually not venomous at all. Furthermore, there is evidence in the mines of these non-native snakes heading towards the town, even though they are not seen there. The snakes are also known to feed on ash.
• The mines around the region supply ore that can be made into pulsefire, a dangerous fire that only burns living things in its path.
• Traces of the orb can be felt around a family called the Bransons. The family consists of Welford and Amabella Branson, their sons Welford Junior and Chesper, Junior's wife Poppy and son Jeb, and Ches' wife Chastity and their baby Lory.
• A bandit group called the Bouldersnakes is feared in the town and are known for being ruthless. One of the miners in the town made a deal with them to sell them some ore in the past.
• Following Lan Xichen's talk with Welford Branson, Welford runs away from the town, distraught by what Lan Xichen has made him remember, and a voice speaks to all the Orbers.

· THE LOG + THE VOTE
The second log will include aspects of survival in the town and outside of it as well as another bandit encounter. Along with plotting for what to do in the log, this post will be used to suggest ideas for how the team can get the orb.
About the second log in more detail: it will be divided into a survival section as the Orbers will have to live in the town that, following the NPC thread, will look very different from what they are used to; and furthermore, as the orb is no longer in the town, leaving it will be possible — but conversely, it will also be possible for outsiders to come in, both animals (remember the sand whales?) and people.
Speaking of people, the other part of the log will be another bandit encounter... this time with, well, maybe you can guess who. The Bouldersnakes will finally make an appearance, so be prepared the same fate that befell the town doesn't happen to you!
As for the vote: we will open the vote at the same time as the log goes live, on February 2. After reading the log, please respond HERE with an idea for how the team wants to proceed with getting the orb from Welford Branson. The conclusion will be written based on what the team decides to do.
We ask that you do this by Monday, February 7, 6PM GMT.
As with missions one and two, the conclusion of the mission and the return to the station will come later on February 13. As before, that will not be a separate log, so for the latter half of the month when characters are on the station, players are encouraged to make their own logs.

Contact:
Character: Peter Quill
General plans: Peter is not having a very good time, that with having noticed that his girlfriend Gamora has gone MIA and the whole pulsefire business being waaaaay to close to the traumatic event that was Thanos' snap in his world.
And thus, he's going to be fucking feral and wreck bandits left and right, maybe ride some sand whales if that's and option. Who wants to kick ass? He brought his blasters, booms, the jetpack and some other gadgets with him. Also, his birthday is the 4th of February, it's going to be just ~wonderful~.
So, in short:
Info sharing: Nothing worth mentioning.

no subject
But also. Birthday buddies since headcanon is Ed is early Feb too! They can both just ignore that and focus on the mission it's Fine. They totally Got This. Not that Ed would be killing anyone but he will def step in to help out fighting and not bother hiding his alchemy eventually.
no subject
But yeeeeh. They will have so many b-day to celebrate once they're back at the station, roflmao. Not like Peter wants a reminder that he's getting old, but still.Aww, ed so helpful. \o/ they can kick bandits' asses together.
no subject
Ed can be helpful sometimes! Honest. But yeah he would prob be ??? do birthdays count with this? Space and all? Time might be different? Will this count once they get back home and all? He has no clue. But he def got your back, Peter!
no subject
He is helpful plenty of times! the downside is that they will all be feeling the effects of the lack of food + the town harsher conditions now that the orb's magic isn't sugar coating things.
And Peter says b-day always count. When you go back home you can just celebrate them twice.
no subject
But this is true. Ed only went without food for a bit that one time on Yock Island with their training so this is. Not gonna be fun. Especially when he is used to more with sustaining Al too.
Peter logic, love it haha.
no subject
They have more animals around now so peter will be hunting vultures and the like. They can eat those. or...try.
