event 03 plotting
Another month comes and goes.
This month, Strangers arrive peacefully and are expected when they arrive. Alas, the Queen's Residence is still in chaos, and there's much afoot. The Strangers have arrived just in time for a six day festival that coincides with the spring equinox and the beginning of the planting season around Draega.
You can read the full event here. The post is currently locked for responses and will open at 8PM EST on the 21st. Take this time to talk to each other about what you're interested in doing and accomplishing in this event.
Questions should be asked here. For this event, Strangers have the chance to run into all major NPCs except for Queen Fayura. As such, please use the top-levels below to hash out plans with the NPCs. You don't need to do this, however! NPCs may crash your threads just because. As always, you may drive the cityfolk as you please.
Some additional information…
► The Guilds have a significantly stronger presence in the city than they have had in previous months. The landens are far more raucous and belligerent with the Blood. Should you wish for a little more conflict, you are welcome to work confrontations between landen and Blood into your threads. Bear in mind, the landens will be the instigators here.
► The Blood and the Ebon Council's presence has been weakened. The Blood are quieter and wary, avoiding confrontation as much as they can. Landens are far more obvious in their use of Muters and their carrying of Breakers.
► While Strangers won't be able to interact with Fayura during this event, she is out and about in the city. Strangers will find her helping decorate and actively participating in the celebrations during the first three days.

After this event…
► New players can assume that characters know all the information given in the info pages. Whether you handwave a conversation with random NPCs or assume that Loren answered your characters' questions, as of the end of the event all PCs have been informed of the landen Guilds, the Ebon Council, and the state of the world.
► Characters may move out of the Queen's Residence and establish their homes elsewhere. Many buildings in the city are empty and in need of repairs, but no one will stop Strangers from moving in.
► Any one who remains at the Queen's Residence will receive a modest stipend, enough to cover food and drink. Loren will make clear that Strangers who do not live at the residence will not be afforded this money but also that Strangers who do stay are considered part of the Queen's court in as much as actions they take will reflect back on the court.
► Allairavar reminds everyone who chooses to stay at the residence that if you live with the court, you practice with the court. He expects all the Strangers who stay to be on the practice fields with everyone else at dawn. To those who are reticent, he explains that no one needs to learn how to fight only how to defend long enough for help (he seems to imply himself) to arrive.

Lucas Baker | Resident Evil
• He is going to actively avoid helping set up for the festival. Come on, he's a guest here! Why a guest gotta help decorate? He could potentially get roped in by someone getting a little... "playful" with their duties (e.x. "putting their own spin on things" while the staff aren't looking; Lucas is always here for setting up pranks, surprises, and "you'll shit bricks"-style Easter eggs in a display), but failing that, he's going to likely stay divvied between being a bratty ass or simply blowing off housekeeping and wandering the city until things quiet down.
• As for the festival itself, on the other hand, whoa, he loves a bit of festivity and ceremony, and it's been a very long time since he's been to anything like this! He's going to be running around like a fusion dance between an elementary schooler and a rat playing games (probably showing off or trying to one-up anyone also playing, though spoilers, he's not very physically-coordinated - even apart from that, though, he'll be playing to win; he likes winning, and also novelty items!) and lookin' for food to grab 'n sample!
• He's going to attend the ceremony with definite interest re: whatever magic-that-apparently-exists-in-this-world is in play at it... but once again, try to skip out on doing any actual work. If anyone happens to be able to engage him in conversation he finds interesting enough that giving them even just the minimum of a hand would be worth keeping it going, well... it may have been some years now, but he's not a stranger to farm chores.
• He'll be stickin' around in the Court for as long as he can - namely, likely, until the "your actions reflect on the Court as a whole" comes around to bite him or even just try his patience, or when mandatory training for residence does the same, especially considering it looks like he is nnnnot going to get along with Allairavar!

Would you like for them to meet in the festival if you're interested in them interacting? Daylight will be going in as himself so he'll definitely stand out in the crowd thanks to his height and appearance.
no subject
I am definitely interested, and pff, that will indeed catch Lucas's eye! If you wind up putting up a toplevel, one of us shall definitely need to hit the other up, and if not, feel free to hit Lucas once everything kicks off however/wherever you like!
no subject
And I'll definitely be putting up a toplevel for the event! I'll link to it back here for you to tag, if you want to do that. I'm just super excited for them to meet! This is going to be fun. \ o /
