I see you driving round town with the Bil I love and I'm like...

So, you guys have seen a few hints of what's going down. A promise for a draft, a vague threat from the Malnosso, and some really nasty weather. Well here's where it all comes together. First, let's talk about the Draft.

No, scratch that. First GO DO YOUR ACTIVITY CHECK! In fact, you're not allowed to look at the rest of this post until you do. I'm serious. You'll be in so much trouble if you try and skip it!

--

The draft starts on the 19th. It will end on the 23rd. We'll have more details for you later, but here's some highlights of what to expect:

-The General returns!

-Shifters will have a new type of attack that involves attacking the subconscious.

-The Scanning Devices return

-The Malnosso Security Forces will be participating in the battle

-Draftees from other enclosures will also be present.

-Oh yeah and the battle? IT'S IN SPACE.

Sounds like something you wanna do? Well you just need to sign up here, in the appropriate thread listed below. Remember, characters are drafted against their will, but only if you the player want them to be. Feel free to draft as few or as many characters as you like. Use the copypasta below:



And use it here.

When the NPC post goes up to announce the draft, the character names signed up will appear in that list for character in-game. For now, refer here to brush up on details

--

So that leaves the vague threat. That six day window ends on the 18th. So what will happen? Well if Bil isn't turned over, then nothing.

Not immediately. Why start a search if the town is full of ornery Lucetians eager to cause them to slip up? From the evening of the 21st to the early hours of the 22nd, in the middle of some incredibly severe and destructive weather, the Malnosso will be starting their search. This will include a great many droids and tamed Shift Hunters to track down Mr. Bil. This is where you guys come in. What goes down is going to be purely reactive to whatever you guys do. There's talk of presenting decoys, fighting them off, or whatever. There's several scenarios we have planned depending on what you guys ultimately choose to do. So once we have a firm idea of what Luceti's response will be, we'll provide more details of how things will play out.

For now, here's a write up of what to expect from the weather, courtesy of Cata, during this Malnosso raid:

19th: Typical rainy day, light drizzles on and off in the morning through the afternoon. Steady rain through the evening.

20th: Steady rain through the morning and afternoon, thunderstorm at night (between 7 and 8 PM), heavy rain and high winds through the rest of the night.

21st and 22nd: Torrential rain, heavy wind (between 34 knots (39 mph) and 64 knots (74 mph)), thunderstorms throughout the day. Winds and rain will die down toward 11 PM on the 22nd.

23rd: Steady rain, clearing up into drizzles by the afternoon and stopping by night.

Things to consider

-If your character is capable of sensing or knows how to read weather patterns, they are free to do so. If your character has visions or future-sensing abilities and wants to see something relating to the weather, go ahead.

-Flooding is a possibility. Because there are no drainage systems in Luceti and much of the area is dirt and/or grass, expect the area to get very muddy and saturated with water fast. The sudden increase in rain will also cause the river to rise a few inches. All that said, this is still optional. If you want to play with water damage, feel free to. If you're not interested in the idea, no need to go with it.

-Due to high winds, expect fallen branches and debris around. As for any structural damage, I'll leave that up to you guys (though it'd be cool seeing trees and fallen branches blocking off paths and people working together to clear them).

-The ocean will be suffering high winds, choppy waters, and dangerous conditions. So it's probably not a good idea to go sailing!

Remember, during this time most of the village will likely be on the battlefield. So if you want to participate in what's going on in the village, your character will need to stay out of the draft. Choose carefully!

Ask questions and discuss here! Remember to keep all your questions for the mods in the MOD QUESTIONS thread. Thanks!

Guy will be sticking to the village, probably focusing on defense as well as helping with any of the weather-crazy disasters if he has to. He knows his way around water rescue, so he can always be pulled for that if need be.

He'll have some other stuff on his mind (like keeping his best friend inside and not prematurely killing himself out in the crazy weather, s-sob), but I'm more than open for plotting.

It'll be a fun learning experience!

She'll promise not to do anything dangerous that she doesn't already know the outcome to, honest.

Yeah, sure. And because he has this horrible tendency to risk himself for the sake of others, I see this not ending well.

Though they do have enough CR that he would be willing to give her a quick crash course and access to the arts in his world. He's already got it set up so anyone can get it, but would need some lessons in use, and learning the low level stuff isn't too hard if someone has any skill with magic at all. If you'd like that, it can definitely be arranged!

Leonhardt, no more dying. >8[

And she wouldn't be opposed to learning other kinds of magic! She likely has a lot of potential for picking up magic, she just never had much of a chance to before. Of course, she plans on requesting a bunch of rune scrolls from home, too, so she isn't going into this entirely defenseless.

He won't be dying, mostly because I'm not allowed to kill him again quite yet. Getting injured protecting people he cares about is very likely though. Thankfully he's a lot more durable than most people are! That which doesn't kill him will heal quickly enough, after all.

And sounds good, I'll try and get you a writeup of what I did with Caesar since that setup would likely work well for her, and it will give her some stat boosts as well, the biggest thing is that she'll be less squishy.

Now that I know what's going on...

Scully is being drafted, she'll be facepalming as Mulder goes SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE! SPAAAAAAAAAAAACE! I'M IN SPACE! at her and beating down some crazy cultists.

Cloche will be staying behind. She'll be angry with the Malnosso and the droids and everything else. She'll be singing and will need protection (though I do believe Doji said Roy will be helping that) though anyone else is welcome to keep her safe from incoming attacks. She'll be helping to clean up later on.

Maron is largely a non-combatant and will be helping people out as best she can, though the thunderstorm might not sit well with her.

Cecilia will be helping out at home, most likely using some Crest Magic on some droids/hunters, tag-teaming with Rudy most likely. She'll also be running around helping non-combatants and anyone who might be scurred of those things (though not likely.)

Reimu will be releasing the true power of the Hakurei lineage Normal Mode style on the big bads, definitely welcoming any tag team antics. She'll be using her powers of flight to look for anyone stuck and in need of help as well.

COME AT ME BROS.

But but Scully hasn't it always been your DREAM since you were a kid to go into SPACE!?!?!

...oh wait, that was Mulder's dream.

They'll kick some ass together, eeeeee!

Yes! They need to get stuck teaming up at some point. I always find it amusing to make Kain have to admit that there's some MUTUAL ENEMY they have to work together to defeat.

He's going to get scolded if he gets himself hurt for her all the same.

And cool cool. Stat boosts are always awesome for little not-quite-mage types.
eyesofstrength: (004)

[personal profile] eyesofstrength 2012-06-17 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Then I likely shall prepare for a scolding, because he's not going to let her get hurt. He's not as squishy as Yun is dang it!

And I'll get that to you in a PM so you have it easily handy.

But she can totally redeem herself by kicking said bomb and making it explode in a cultist's face.
