agentleooc | 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.

Regarding event things...

Bucky is not the decorating sort, but if booths need physical labor, he'd be more inclined to that than hanging flags or flowers
Likewise for planting; he'll be in the fields where the strong arms and legs are needed and I'm willing to work out team ups for the labor
He'll be escorting Sansa to some of the festivities and generally looking like a grumpy grump who grumps; please help give her a hand getting him to lighten up and wear the damn flower crown already
The idea of keeping the peace will be appealing to him; if fights break out he's a pretty good choice for breaking them up so I'm down for both breaking up a scuffle or rescuing your character from one
Morning training is an excellent idea and Bucky's all for it; he'll be willingly on those practice fields and is a good partner especially for anyone who can do a lot of damage because it takes a lot of damage to bring him down. Eventually I'd like to work up to him working with people who need some help with their training because again, pretty resilient.

I had some other ideas but it's late and I'm tired and what are words?!? I'm open to anything, seriously, and you can feel free to hit me up on

sometimesamuse if that's easier than plotting via comments here!

You're welcome.

I cannot express how much this is making me laugh like you have no idea

phase one, complete.

This doesn't need to be event-specific, but these two are in the same daily training parade and will eventually have to say hi to each other.

They also have matching metal arms

That's a great way to handwave the "hi I'm new what's your name" thing too, to be quite honest! Training buddies are always welcome, especially those who are a bit, shall we say, durable?

That tickles me pink because honestly, when someone says "the guy with the metal arm" people have to ask "which one?"

tbh it’s probably more thematically appropriate for these two to say hi by punching each other

Also, lmao yes. People will have to specify if it’s the bionic arm guy or the cannon arm guy... amazing

but isn't that the normal way to greet people? have i been doing it wrong this entire time?!?

this seriously could not have worked out any better i'm so pleased

OH MY GOD THATS RIGHT.

Are you serious that Sansa managed to collect two grumpy ass dudes with metal arms like I can't even

Sansa is good at herding cats

Lmao right

Hi I saw something about training and needing a lot of damage and I'm here because who doesn't love a fight?

There's also some really fun stuff running around in his veins just saying............

Hey if you happen to bleed during the fighting he won't say no...

o m g jon put the straw away already geez

~~the same hat meme, except it's same live to fight habit~~

so Jewel-wise takame here is super out-matched by Bucky (purple dusk vs red lol) but he is also constantly, willingly on them practice fields. He's also an idiot who likes fighting people stronger than him so there's another option for sparring partners for bucky if he wants to fight a dergun person with a sword 👀

~~the only way to live tbh~~

enthusiasm is more key than strength!!! because honestly anyone who wants to be out on those fields is his kind of person and something to learn from everyone and fighty people are the only ones who really get other fighty people like that

also, swords are just awesome and somewhat outside Bucky's experiences so that in and of itself will be a great reason to work together

he's only enthusiastic when the stars align and the seven lights of the light combine their powers to form voltron. but he is very fighty, and very willing and interested in learning how bucky does it.

oh man it's gonna be great bucky wait till you see the anime bullshit that comes out of this. ... except he's from MCU which is almost as wild as anime bullshit.

a match made in the ridiculous special effects department, clearly. i see your event toplevel and i will tag it sometime today or tomorrow, whenever i finish this project

explosions and metal clashing and ice and moons and goddamn cherry blossoms. *chef's kiss*

take your time though o/
