GENERAL PLOTTING THREAD

[gottaknockhard]

General plotting ideas in this thread!

Re: GENERAL PLOTTING THREAD

[schrodingersghost]

So with the last plot over, I'm thinking of using it as a reason to get Danny to start up a Paradisa branch of Fentonworks. Basically just an excuse to get together any of the supernatural experts together in case something like that happens again. Would anyone be interested? Are there any other supernatural experts sticking around?

Spike Spiegel

[gottaknockhard]

Spike Spiegel | gottaknockhard
Canon: Cowboy Bebop
Current status in game: Spike was involved with some search party shenanigans, but my plans fell through for the ending. Originally he was going to be injured in the fight, but I was a failure at playing that out. If anyone wants to plot out what can be handwaved, I'm up for that! Otherwise, he's living in the headspace of watching people leave and having deep reflections about all this, as one does.
Any current or future plans: I've been really reluctant to say in the community, but he won't be here next month. The reason I've been reluctant, is because I'd really like to play with you all until the end! I have plans on taking full advantage of the plot that I put up, and would absolutely love to do all of the closure possible. I'm up for everything you'd like to do this month and will not drop a thread if I can help it.
Recent open threads or posts: Spike's post about his missing dog is still around, for anyone who would like to do ghost stuff during last plot or whatever!

[lord_wizard]

While nothing is final, given everything, Andy and I are likely to find a new game for Gren and Vicious. If they're all going to disappear at once, we might find a way to have a final blowout, possibly involving something revealed during the plot. On a related note, Gren and Spike were both supposed to be injured, but since we all floundered there, I was wondering if you wanted to handwave that happened (and have Gren and Spike stuck in the clinic with each other), or decide against it and do something new?

[gottaknockhard]

I'm sure I can work with whatever you all want to do! I'll start linking relevant conversations in the plot post and maybe that will help with ideas.

As far as the last plot, I'd be up for either way! I had a little bit of a hard time working with the end of it and how to jump in, but if something can be logically handwaved I'm very happy to have Spike visit his good friend the Clinic one more time.

[putuporshutup]

Meg | putuporshutup
Canon: Supernatural
Current status in game: She's just done. Cas is gone again, a lot of her other CR has dropped and she just isn't a happy camper all around. Plus with so many people disappearing and the knowledge that she's dead back home, she's pretty much terrified that her days are legitimately numbered.
Any current or future plans: Nope.
Recent open threads or posts: N/A
Desired CR: Wrapping things up
Shipping Preferences: Nay. She's a wreck.
Additional Comments: Unfortunately this will be my last month in Paradisa. Even if the drop train wasn't a thing, I got bumped to full time at work and I'm starting training to be a department lead which boils down to me spending a lot more time and energy on work than when I initially got hired for part time sales. It's definitely Good Thing and I'm really excited - I just don't have as much time left for RP and I think Meg has really run her course in this setting. I'll stick around to wrap up Paranatural NPC stuff for those who want it and do September event things/current threads and some selective backtagging, but I will be about as slow as I have been. If you wanna hash out/handwave anything rather than putting up with my glacial pace, I totally understand. ♥

[lord_wizard]

Felix Harrowgate | lord_wizard
Canon: The Doctrine of Labyrinths
Current status in game: Felix, like most people in game, had a rough month, especially since he bled to death during the plot after being ridden the guilt of what he did to his brother, spent a day as a ghost, and then hallucinated his worst fear for a week. He's bottling most of this up, like usual.
Any current or future plans: He'll probably be suffering from persistent nightmares from his past for a few weeks.

On the longer game end of things, assuming the game lasts that long, he's going to head out to Mineas Well in November to investigate.
Recent open threads or posts: He has a log for anyone that might want to run into him as a ghost or be witness to the beginning of his death loss, right here.
Desired CR: Seriously anything.
Shipping Preferences: All the non-serious hooking up. If you want try for more than that, you'll have to fight off Ashura.


I'm not filling this out for Gren and Wade because I'm fairly certain I'll be letting both of them go before or at the end of September. Gren's departure depends on other prospects but is about 80% certain. Wade's is closer to 60%. If anyone who is sticking around would like to continue CR with her, I'll consider having her stay.

[schrodingersghost]

Danny Fenton | schrodingersghost
Canon: Danny Phantom
Current status in game: Helped out with fighting during the Paranatural plot, offered completely unhelpful advice to to temporary ghosts
Any current or future plans: Nothing right now. Maybe working towards getting him to set up a Paradisa branch of Fentonworks in reaction to the last plot to get all the supernatural experts together.
Desired CR: All kinds! Danny probably has the least CR of any of my characters right now.

Conan Edogawa | deductiongeek
Canon: Detective Conan
Current status in game: In the clinic. Again. After being kidnapped and held for several days be the Wendigo. Hes probably going to be stuck there for a while.
Any current or future plans: Consequences from the last plot. I would love it if this created an opportunity to get it into his head that other people worry when hes reckless.
Recent open threads or posts: here
Desired CR: Everything. Conan has lost two of his closest CR this month.

Will Stanton | lightbranded
Canon: Dark is Rising
Current status in game: Tired and upset. Will went through a lot this month, thanks to most of his CR either dying or going mad. All of the adults he speaks to most often were unavailable for different reasons, at the same time as an attack that felt far too much like the Dark was coming in. SO Will had to take it on himself to fight. Showing off a lot more of what he actually is to the castle in the process.
Any current or future plans: Consequences! Whether thats talking to his CR about the last few weeks, or people asking about what it was he was doing in the plot.


I may be considering dropping someone soon, if the game keeps shrinking. Not because I want to drop, but because we might reach a point where reaching AC with three characters becomes too difficult.

[lord_wizard]

I'd be happy to have Felix get a little bit nosier where Will in concerned. Questions will have definitely been raised.

Also Danny should bother him more about ghosts

Wade will certainly mother hen Conan a little. I'm not sure you'd want to continue CR with her, but she'll at least be around for this month.

And, as a mod, I wanted to let you know that assuming you guys want the game to continue, AC will absolutely be reduced or gotten rid of entirely by the end of September, though I recognize that it's hard to spread out three people within a small group of players, thus my own decision to pare down. But I wanted you to know that was a thing.

[schrodingersghost]

Yes for both things with Felix! Sorry Felix, both of those characters from from weird worlds.

I would definitely be interested in that, for as long as you keep her in. Conan doesn't have enough CR that still tries to treat him like a normal kid.

Oh! That is good news. Yeah, I think it depends on what the total drop for this month ends up being.

[therealrisette]

I did like... nothing for that last plot, but I'd love to rekindle some CR with Conan, since we haven't done a whole lot with these two in a while! And especially now that Rise has a suspicion that he and "Shinichi" are the same person... she might try and get him to admit it somehow...

As for Danny I'm going to backtag that log thread as long as possible, and I'd love for there to be some awkward CR beginnings branching from that encounter somehow. xD

[schrodingersghost]

Oh yes, definitely! Its been forever since they've talked.

Hahaha, hes probably going to try and avoid her for a while. Because most awkward moment ever.

[fearbringer]

PITCH BLACK | fearbringer
Canon: Rise of the Guardians
Current status in game: ~*Being the Boogeyman*~. I'm always up for plotting in regards to that-- all his nightmare- and fear-related plotting posts are in his journal.
Any current or future plans: Nothing in particular, really!
Recent open threads or posts: A post from yesterday!
Desired CR: Negative CR is pretty easy to get with him and I'm always up for that, but I'm fine with positive stuff too! Right now he doesn't really have any strong relationships either way (at least not from his side), which is par for the course for him as far as mortals go.
Shipping Preferences: I'm open to trying it if something develops, but he very likely wouldn't ICly go for most people.
Additional Comments: My own tagging speed varies wildly, and I'm fine with all tagging speeds from everyone else!

APRIL LUDGATE | nooooo
Canon: Parks & Recreation
Current status in game: Hating her loss and dealing with having died.
Any current or future plans: She was violently killed during the last plot, and is currently hiding in her room and freaking the fuck out over that. Eventually she'll emerge, but it's going to affect her for a long, long time.
Recent open threads or posts: n/a
Desired CR: Both positive and negative are good! She doesn't hate people nearly as much as she claims to, which lends itself to positive CR-- but she's also a lazy pain in the ass, which lends itself to negative CR.
Shipping Preferences: If it comes up, sure.
Additional Comments: My own tagging speed varies wildly, and I'm fine with all tagging speeds from everyone else!

[therealrisette]

Fair warning, Rise has developed a weird soft spot for characters like April and will be all over being friends with her at the slightest opportunity.

I don't even know why this became a pattern with her, but it is. She will do her absolute best to befriend her, and if it doesn't work, they could still end up with some kind of CR...

[nooooo]

I'm definitely up for this! Rise's plan might even work; April has some bubbly friends at home. :P

[radiantwingedone]

Duke Pantarei | radiantwingedone
Canon: Tales of Vesperia
Current status in game: More upset about nearly missing the "final boss" and the whole nature of being a ghost (jeez castle, its not like he can see-) than that he died at all like a dork.
Any current or future plans: Duke's going to get his sight back in late september, so if people want to watch his coordination go down again for a bit have fun with Duke staring at random things for oddly long periods of time, that will be a thing.

Also if anyone wants ghost shenanigans - Duke was a ghost from late Day 6 until mid Last Day (8?), I'm good with either trowing up backdated stuff or just plotting it out-
Recent open threads or posts: There's just his grumpy plot-post about how magic isn't a cure all (and then he died-) for recent stuff
Desired CR: Anything!
Shipping Preferences: Go for it? try to plot it out w/ me? IDK, he's slow about that.
Additional Comments: I got myself a job, which is great for life and all, but i work at 3am, which is not great for rp braining later in the day. I have slowed a lot :x

Rise Kujikawa

[therealrisette]

Rise Kujikawa | therealrisette
Canon: Persona 4
Current status in game: Spent the entirety of the last plot keeping Sugar safely enclosed inside their turned-crappy room. Will be gradually coming out and doing more things soon now that creepy things are over.
Any current or future plans: She's kind of drifting without purpose at this point... every direction she's tried to go has been cut off for various reasons, and she still feels pretty useless for when things really get bad. Still, she tries to be there for her friends and make new ones, so I'm working on getting her out there again! Even just for silly/dumb slice-of-life things!
Recent open threads or posts: N/A
Desired CR: Everything! She's lost so many friends and people close to her and has recently started to fail at making new friends that actually stick around for long, so she really needs some CR. Any CR!
Shipping Preferences: She's still kind of hurting from the last time she got close to someone, but I'm open if something develops.
Additional Comments: Rise's in a tough spot right now, but I'm holding out for an upcoming canon update that'll give her a lot more to work with in a setting like this! OOCly, it was really hard for me to get motivated last month, but I'm determined to be part of the solution to keeping this game going. The September events really interest me too, so if anyone wants to plot anything for that, I'm game!

Meowkitty's Girls

[wizard_redfive]

Dairine Callahan | wizard_redfive
Canon: Young Wizards
Current status in game: Dair is exhausted after the last plot, not to mention emotionally ragged from many of her friends being directly impacted
Any current or future plans: Dairine will be staging a group Intervention for Conan after the risks he pulled in the Supernatural Plot. Her main goals are to address his reckless behavior and increased avoidance. His CR is welcome to join in.
Desired CR: All CR is welcome
Shipping Preferences: No shipping

Sugar | sugarwaffo
Canon: A Little Snow Fairy Sugar
Current status in game: Sugar was hiding in her room with Rise until things calmed down, so she'll be coming out soon.
Any current or future plans: Not too many, other than checking Sugar's progress with her Magic Flower.
Desired CR: All CR is welcome
Shipping Preferences: No shipping
Additional Comments: My speed is slowish because of rl, but I'm hoping it'll be stronger once I have a proper schedule.
