PLAYER PLOTS

Please fill out the following short form ahead of murders, serious public violence, and setting destruction committed on the ship. Information about setting destruction and public, difficult-to-miss violence must also be posted on the OOC comm (you can just link to your comment here, if you'd like).


<b>Who:</b> What characters are going to be involved, either as perpetrators or victims? If an inmate is going to be either the perpetrator or the victim, please make sure to loop in the player of their warden. <b>What:</b> Briefly summarize what's going to happen. Please be sure to include information about noise level, evidence left behind, etc., where relevant. <b>Where:</b> Where is this going to happen? If it's going to take place in a public space that has warden supervisors, please loop them in. <b>When:</b> When is this going to happen? <b>Outcome:</b> If all the details aren't set in stone yet, that's okay! The most important points here are 1) making sure that if any characters end up in Zero, at least one Zero warden is notified, and 2) making sure that if any characters end up in the infirmary, at least one infirmary supervisor is notified.
Additionally, if your warden provided powers or weaponry to an inmate who went on to use them to wreak havoc, please also fill out the following form!

<b>Warden in question:</b> [who did the weapon-giving/power restoration?] <b>Inmate in question:</b> [who caused the trouble?] <b>Are the above warden and inmate paired?:</b> [yes/no/temps] <b>What did the Warden give them?:</b> [specific powers/weapons] <b>What was the damage?:</b> <b>Any extenuating circumstances?:</b> [please also include OOC extenuating circumstances, such as - for example - the desire for an inmate troublemaker to go uncaught for a bit] <b>Proposed/preferred punishment for the warden?:</b> If you have no preferences and you'd like us to surprise you, let us know!

If you're looking to suggest or run a Barge-driven event such as a port, breach, or flood, the page for that is here!

[brutallyefficient]

This is sort of a player plot, but also sort of me asking what all I can do. Then I can define the plot further!

Who: Connor, thus far. It may include others depending on what I can do.

What: Connor has found while digging through network archives that interfacing with the Barge is possible for more "technologically inclined" individuals. (Here are his notes, if you'd like!) He wants to give it a try here in the next couple of months to see if there is anything of use to find that can help the Bargizens now or in the future.

I think he would want to prioritize either A.) How to control some Barge functions in case of emergency (evacuation procedures, climate control) and B.) See if there's any stored information about the Admiral/Authority/The Barge in its systems that could be potentially helpful. (Admiral abilities/history, anything about the Authority, and maybe some internal schematics on the Barge?)

He'd also be on the lookout for anything about the Heart of the Barge or the Map that was mentioned to him a while ago.

Of course, if you have any ideas I would be up for that.

Where: Currently, my plan is that I'm going to have him try and get as close as he can to the mechanical centers of the Barge and use those as potential access points.

(He would *want* change his job from the kennel to one with the ship functions temporarily for easy regular access, but It looks like the Inmate positions are currently full, so maybe he would just hang around them a lot or something of that nature as he looks over them more closely in the next month or so?) Up for suggestions on this, too.

When: I'd say maybe January or February.
Outcome: I'd like to discuss that further with mods! Mostly: If this is possible/what information he could get/and what would be the results of him doing this.

[bargemods]

Hey, Crim! Fully interfacing with the Barge won't be possible, nor will gaining complete control over any Barge functions, but we'd like to give Connor some extra things to play with during the January event stuff we have on the books so that his efforts won't be completely in vain! As stated here, all characters will be kicked off the ship for the entire month of February, so January does like the best time for this unless you'd rather wait until March.

Would you be up for chatting specifics with us via pp later today?

[power_of_yes]

Who: Carol and John Seed will be murdering Fitz. All warden players have been notified.
What: Carol and John are going to stab Fitz. It’s not going to be particularly loud.
Where: This will be a public murder in the level 6 common room at night during quiet times, but they will be caught in the act by Warren and/or Tess so there’s no need for an all out manhunt/investigation.
When: December 28 or December 29 evening (depending on when the log gets up)
Outcome: Fitz will be dead. AT MINIMUM: John will get searched/lectured/likely thrown in Zero, and Carol will get searched/possible Zero time (at the opposite end of the room). Zero warden will be notified if Zero is used for sure. Possible injuries from apprehension?

cw; fire, burning

[atowncalledtreffy]

Who: Trevor Belmont (Perpetrator)
Father John aka Paul Hill (Victim)
Godric (Bystander)
What: Trevor is going to light John on fire. He's going to go to the chapel where Godric and John are scrubbing the floor / overseeing the punishment Using a bottle of alcohol (obtained from either Alucard or the inmate speakeasy) and the lighter he got from Anita for Christmas, Trevor is going to ignite John who is going to burn to death. He will be angling to do this with minimal damage.
Where: Chapel, with Godric as a supervisor
When: Pretty close to present
Outcome: Godric will likely apprehend Trevor who won't resist going to Zero; John will die. The chapel floor and surrounding area might get a bit scorched but John as a Midnight Mass vampire is far more flammable than his surroundings so unlikely to be a big collateral damage event.

[fuckaround_findout]

Who: Callisto and Archer
What: Callisto gets her powers back during the metaplot, immediately chooses violence and attacks Archer
Where: Fifth floor hallway
When: Now
Outcome: Some scorched and damaged decor in the hallway. No deaths, TBD fallout

[fuckaround_findout]

Who: Callisto + anyone
What: Callisto throws a smol tantrum and does some setting damage, starting with pulling a door off its frame and throwing it into a wall, ending with trashing cabin 7-6 and successfully campaigning to leave it trashed.
Where: Seventh floor hallway, doorway open to negotiation
When: Present-dated, a few days after takeoff from Flotilla
Outcome: Ongoing. She'll resort to violence with people if anyone sets her off but she's not currently murderous, just frustrated.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

Who: Daniel, Elias Bouchard, Jonathan Sims
What: Daniel drugs a drunk Elias and kidnaps him to do a hecking good ritual to keep everyone (himself) safe from The Shadow. This involves some torture and knives and along the way there is a whoopsie and Elias dies. Oh how terrible. Jon arrives to the aftermath.
Where: Daniel's cabin. Someone *could* have noticed Daniel and Elias going to Daniel's cabin, but it was very late at night.
When: just before new warden positions
Outcome: not yet decided, it depends how Jon Sims reacts, but we'll make sure the Zero warden is notified!

getting this in now; OOC post to come

[citizendetective]

Who: Chou Gonou, Misty Quigley (their temps' players have been pinged)
What: A brief scuffle with cleaning supplies, followed by Misty Q ending up with a mop handle through the gut. It'll be fairly quick (probably like thirty seconds or less of actual fighting), and not too noisy - no screaming, shouting, etc.
Where: An empty hallway on level 2
When: Mid-March
Outcome: Not set in stone yet, but infirmary and/or Zero wardens will be notified if anyone ends up there!

lol...........

[citizendetective]

Who: Misty Quigley, Petronilla de Vilers (the player of Misty's temp has been notified; Petronilla has no warden)
What: Misty and Petronilla chat on the deck, Petronilla shoves Misty, Misty impulsively but very deliberately shoves Petronilla over the rail. It'll be very fast and very quiet, with no witnesses or evidence left behind.
Where: The deck.
When: Wibbly-wobbly mid March! After Misty's own death (see comment above) but before the flood.
Outcome: Misty will make a network post tattling on herself. Petronilla's corpse will wash up in the infirmary, as per the standard for off-the-deck deaths; I'll alert the infirmary wardens when the post goes up. Misty-related aftermath is TBD, but if she ends up in Zero I'll be sure to let those folks know as well!

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

Who: Elias, librarians, other Bargians.
What: Trying to set the library on fire, maybe with someone in it? Elias is mad. He's also going to be looking into doing murders or violence on people because why not.
Where: The library for the fire. TBD for any murders or violence.
When: tbd, late April probably. I'll put up an ooc post closer to the time if I run with the idea.
Outcome: Elias will definitely end up in Zero, thanks April tempwarden.

This is still in the plot workshop phase, but I'd like to know what steps Elias would have to take to temporarily disable or sabotage any anti-fire measures in the library? Are there sprinklers? Are the doorways easily blocked, etc. He'd want to look into this before going at it.

[bargemods]

Due to the books (paper, etc.), the fire suppression system uses extinguishers rather than sprinklers! In terms of pathways, the library itself is a bit of a maze, as described on the settings page. From a mod perspective, we're okay with him successfully blocking exits, damaging extinguishers, etc.; however, as the library is an area that staffs many characters, please do plot judiciously with all of them and make sure your plans work for them, as we don't want anyone to feel that their characters are godmoded into complacency or inattention.

[therebedragons]

Who: Flint (therebedragons) and Fitz (everythinglost)
What: Flint and Fitz got pretty heated on the network Here and Flint has since then took to staking out that floor for Fitz's comings and goings to learn his routine and where he lives. He'll be jumping him when he feels like it, making Fitz squirm for a few days before grabbing him. This will likely end up in a tussle, but will ultimately end near the rail where Flint will hold him over the rail with the intent of just scaring the piss out of him to teach him a lesson. Fitz will escalate the situation, get under his skin enough to make him drop him into space.

Raylan will be somewhere nearby see this happening, attempt to de-escalate but get there too late. Flint'll get popped in the jaw for good measure and thrown into Zero for a few days while Raylan reaches out to Franky, Flint's warden to determine what to do.

Where: Level 6 then out onto the deck proper and over a rail, definitely out in public. It'll be a loud scuffle.

When: Mid/before the end of March, backdated a bit, I meant to move this along faster but RL is a thing. It’ll be mid aura stuff.

Outcome: Fitz will die. Flint’s punishment is to be determined but I’m letting all the parties know that need to know (aka, both wardens, folks at the infirmary and a Zero warden)! I will edit this and/or add onto it once we determine his punishment. What we do know is he'll be spending a few days in Zero and he's getting his sword taken away.

Outcome: Additional deets on his consequences.

[therebedragons]

Raylan will suggest to Franky that murder should warrant more than a 3 night's stay in Zero and recommend some kind of repercussions if he tries to physically hurt, maim or kill anyone. AKA if he gets violent something will stop him. We've all decided on varying degrees of something happening to his offending limbs. From annoying half-asleep pins and needles to full out losing motor function in an arm. This way it will prevent him from physically hurting anyone. This is triggered by any angry lashing out or violent thought. Almost like a shock collar. And yes, this includes if he would try and get into a friendly spar, he is not allowed to cause pain.

This will last about 4-5 days after he's released from Zero. So the start of April.

I assume this will be brought to the Admiral? I don't actually know how this works, but I am 100% on board with whatever. I figured we'd leave it to the mods to accept or decline this idea.

[power_of_yes]

Who: John Seed and Trixie and Dorian and Iris
What: John is going to kill Trixie. It will be quiet - no noise except maybe their argument? But they're not shouting or anything. John's going to skedaddle pretty quickly out of there, but I don't anticipate him getting far.
Where: Level 3 Common Room.
When: The 10th!
Outcome: Zero wardens will be notified if anyone goes to Zero and Infirmary staff will be notified if Trixie goes there to recover! Otherwise, this is very much up in the air!

[cobbledtogetherenvy]

Plotting comment

[neverwaitslong]

Who: Ulla (perpetrator), Trevor, Warren, possibly Eiffel and Raylan, maybe also Taylor because I know she's keeping an eye on Ulla when it happens???
What: Ulla summons up a storm on deck as part of a post-breach temper tantrum. Possible minor property damage, though she likes the greenhouse and music room and will be careful of those. Will be dealt with fairly quickly.
-Raylan and/or Eiffel may be injured (or possibly killed)
-Warren will get hurt coming between Trevor and Ulla
-Ulla will stop what she's doing to heal him
Where: Deck
When: After the Elsewhere University breach
Outcome: Unsure of exact outcome, will definitely ping players of Zero wardens or infirmary staff if applicable!

[dog_lover]

Who: Power [VIP stand in for Makima] (and anyone else if they come to fuss about it to her)
What: A section of the deck is going to be smashed and also bloodied because it's being smashed by a hammer made out of blood. Because Power... is a loud, violent, idiot.
Where: Deck
When: Beginning of the VIP flood
Outcome: Depending on how it's treated, she'll either just walk off, or fight with someone over it, or decide that fighting is dumb and she wants to go find a cat or something. She has the attention span of a gnat.

[atowncalledtreffy]

Who: Varney/Death as Trevor's flood VIP, Hunter, open to whoever else wants to clean up/rescue
What/Where: Varney and Hunter are fighting on the staircase leading up to the deck. The handrails have been ripped off and the staircase collapsed on top of Varney. He's going to transform into a big skeleton up on deck and start trying to murder Hunter.
Where: One of the deck staircases, the deck itself
When: During the tail end of the VIP flood
Outcome: Death is insanely OP, so if he gets to be too much and no one thinks in-character about limiting his ability to transform into a giant monster, Trevor is just going to reappear before he can destroy anything really important to life support

[citizendetective]

Who: Misty Quigley, Pagan Min's flood visitor, and (eventually) Pagan Min
What: Misty is going to stab Pagan's flood visitor (Min Gang) to death on the deck at the tail end of the flood (5/14). He'll swap back to being Pagan post-death, so she won't be leaving the body behind, but there will very likely be something of a mess to clean up. Once I'm sure how much mess that will be, I'll alert everybody via the OOC comm!
Where: The main deck
When: Tomorrow, towards the end of the day
Outcome: Misty will probably be bringing Pagan back to his cabin to recover from his death toll, and will probably not be sent to Zero; if either of those things change, I'll be sure to keep the relevant players in the loop.

[citizendetective]

ETA - Iris will be coming along and making sure the mess is sorted, so nothing will be left behind after all and no OOC post will be needed!

[no_innocents]

Who: just Dracula
What: soundless fireworks going off, lighting up the sky
Where: on deck
When: May 21st
Outcome: no real outcome! Mostly figured I'd put it here just in case as it is very visible!

[sefirot]

Who: Sephiroth and Trixie
What: Trixie is in the wrong place at the wrong time and Sephiroth kills her. Jon and some others pop up to get the body and take Sephiroth to Zero.
Where: the deck
When: Not long after Sephiroth's 'don't touch my things' post
Outcome: Trixie dies and Sephiroth ends up in Zero. I believe everyone who should be involved has been notified.

[mycitynow]

Who: Kyoko & whoever
What: Shortly after being paired, a combination of Kyoko not taking proper care of her magic + falling into despair that Zack has her file and knows things she doesn't want to talk about means that she will turn into a witch. Witches are basically giant fuckoff monsters that warp reality slightly when created, changing their location into a surreal labyrinth and try to attack anyone who enters said labyrinth. They create a visible barrier into their labyrinth, so characters don't have to enter and fight her if they don't want to. Characters can also enter and leave said labyrinth.

When witched out, Kyoko will be fighting whoever comes to face her. Her witch form is very strong, very durable, and can use the illusion magic that Kyoko has repressed, but it is definitely killable. When killed, the labyrinth drops, the witch form drops, and everything goes back to normal, you just have one dead Kyoko.

Where: At Kyoko's room.
When: In the future, shortly after being paired.
Outcome: There won't be any Barge damage due to the nature of witches warping reality slightly, but there is potential for character death should people try and confront Kyoko. Kyoko herself will also be dead at the end of the fight.

Putting this up now despite the fact that this event'll happen in the future to say that if there are any mod questions, please hit me up! As a note, there are safeguards to keep Kyoko from turning into a witch that will probably be used in the future, she's just a big dummy who hasn't asked for them because that involves doing loser things like 'asking people for help.' I'll also definitely put up an ooc post for anybody who wants to get into the fight + a log for the fight in general.

[perfectly_average]

Who: Jamil, Hunter, and anyone at the gym
What: Jamil picked a fight with Hunter, whoops. The air is turning prickly, heavy, dark... Some really bad energy is starting to build up, basically!
Where: The gym
When: ~7/22
Outcome: It's still going as of this comment! I'm gonna be pinging relevant folks, and an opening for interference will be hashed out/discussed with warden players.

My main goal is getting Jamil knocked out, while aiming to avoid retcon territory.

[dog_lover]

Who: Nadja, Gonou, Eiffel, Makima
What: Sariss died on the Galley, and left Makima a deeply sad letter. She was considering what she wanted to do about it when Eiffel, being chased by Nadja who's still upset about the Triumverate situation, started mentioning God and other holy things near Nadja as a defense. This made her start burning in pain from it. Makima, being very defensive of her warden, reacted in anger and used her contract power to pay with her life to kill Eiffel, which made him splat-explode into basically a blood stain with clothes. Gonou saw Nadja chasing Eiffel, saw the splat, assumed Nadja did it despite Nadja's confusion about what happened and dismay at being covered in Eiffel's blood, and attacked, as he is very defensive of his friend. This will end in a disengage.
Noise: Nadja was screaming 'I'm going to kill you!', Eiffel made a loud splat.
Where:random hallway in the vines
When: early September
Outcome: Nadja burned by holy words, Eiffel a large blood spatter of clothes in the hallway, Gonou injured.

[damesuccubus]

Who: Petronilla and all the volunteers from the OOC post here.
What: Petronilla's going on a poisoning spree! She's been drying and grinding all sorts of plants and flowers, and she's going to be sneaking the powder into the drinks and food of everyone she comes across. Some folks will get really, really sick, some might just get a little (or a lot) stoned. Leaving it up to players to decide!
Where: All over the Barge
When: The 14th of September thereabouts (I may throw something up tonight so everyone on an earlier time zone can play)
Outcome: Oh, she's probably gonna get her ass thrown into Zero, and everyone's going to have a hangover. c:

[brotherblack]

Who: Shen Wei, Sephiroth, Taylor and Shen Jiye/Ye Zun.
What: Shen Wei will be attacking and trying to kill Sephiroth in a pretty irrational homicidal rage when he finds out about the geostigma. Taylor and Ye Zun will be stopping him.
Where: Deck.
When: IC probably yesterday, sorry for being late getting this up?
Outcome: Attacking Sephiroth in public and trying to kill him, getting stopped by Taylor and his brother, probably immediately going after this brother, though that part may or may not be in private. Ulla will be notified, as he has no warden, and also ZYL is Sephiroth's warden and knows SW's gone on a Sephiroth hunt. I'm assuming he'll end up depowered and in Zero, Sephiroth may or may not end up injured to an undetermined degree

[weboftime]

Who: Henry, Trixie, and whoever wants to be involved
What: Henry's going to use his powers to launch silverware around in a gory way and not a funny way.
Where: Dining hall. The dining hall warden has been notified!
When: Saturday night, October 1
Outcome: He's going to get apprehended and then Trixie's throwing him in Zero.

[absolutetwatmonger]

Who: Izzy Hands and Kiryu Kazuma
What: Izzy demanded that Kiryu prove he's worth listening to so they're gonna fucking duke it out on deck.
Where: On deck!
When: Mid-afternoon 15/11, pairings day
Outcome: Kiryu will kick Izzy's ass and drag him to the infirmary. Largely we're putting this here 'cos it's in a public space, so anyone who wants to witness it can say they did.
