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.

I'm seriously torn between them dancing and an accident happening because it must happen Daylight is dancing or them just cavorting around the festival excitedly. (Will Takame ride the carousel with Day? Will he?)

And excellent - Zita and Takame can seek refuge from the nosy excitement together. She may have come from a carnival but there's a reason Zita took up handling a booth and not, like, the main acts or something. (Also - Zita dragged Takame into party planning? That can also be a thing that happens and she's hanging out with him out of him being a friend + wanting to say thanks for giving a hand.)

if day asks takame to he will ride the carousel. dancing sounds like a fucking mess waiting to happen though even moreso because takame is actually quite good at it.

for party planning though he'll be doing it regardless just because miss npc was like hey do this but i'm happy to have him working w zita on that too!! :>

Oh my gosh - Daylight is going to ride the carousel and there's a 99% chance he's going to break it under his weight. Help him with this, Takame. He thought this would be safer than dancing. (And, also, press F for the poor ride that was only trying to bring joy to others.)

Poor Takame... I hope he's ready to get directed and asked to put things up and carry things around and stuff like that from Zita's end. :'> This is a poor sunshine man who needs to get treated to a food both or something after this. It's only fair.
