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.

Sweet~ I can't guarantee he won't try to punch or slap Kaneki away at first tkjsahdks sorry.

Uhmmm...how about his shoulder? Plenty of room for Kaneki to take a bite there. Or Any part of his arm. Does Kaneki need to eat his flesh, or just biting/the blood calms his urges?

It would have to be a proper bite, blood isn't enough I'm afraid. However, I'm actually not like super picky on this, so whatever is most comfortable with you, Lylith (= i can just say kaneki snaps out of it for a while but in a day or two he will lose his mind again!

also please slap him it will be hilarious
spacedisaster: (No it's much worse)

[personal profile] spacedisaster 2022-01-28 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it's cool, I figured he was going to need actual meat. In that case, Kaneki can bite his shoulder and take a chunk of it, it's all good. I'm not sure into gore, so if we can't be super descriptive about it, however, that would be nice.

Ahahah then he will try that first, wondering what has gotten onto the kid. 8( then shoot him non lethally.

Oh! Since Peter isn't fully human either, he's half celestial even if he has no powers now, maybe Kaneki can notice that 'this guy tastes weird'.

I can certainly avoid detailed description on that, it's no problem (=

lmao kaneki bites him and then goes "ewwww" before he gets zapped
spacedisaster: (I mustache you a question)

[personal profile] spacedisaster 2022-01-29 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I'm fine with blood being mentioned and the like, of course.

Oh, roflmao. Rude, Kaneki :/

Here it is the top-level for this! Let me know if it works out, or if'd rather I changed something!
spacedisaster: (Don't worry I've got this)

[personal profile] spacedisaster 2022-02-05 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
That's perfect, thank you! I'll hit him asap. Just a question, time wise, when is this happening? Mid month or...?
anthropophagite: (Normal - smile 23)

[personal profile] anthropophagite 2022-02-05 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
honestly, i'm pretty flexible with the timeline, so you can pick what fits best for you!
spacedisaster: (Ey baby listen)

[personal profile] spacedisaster 2022-02-05 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah thanks, it's just to organize stuff with the bandits attack and all. Let's say mid-month :3
