Is That an Island?

Event: Is That an Island?

Of late, things have been relatively quiet for the Chosen and the citizens of the City. (Somewhere, there’s a sign reading 3 Days since last accident!.) The Magistrates have been keeping things going steady, there has been no additional news in regards to Justice’s latest mental break, and generally, things are all right.

With any luck, things will continue to be all right in the City. Outside the City, however - and there is an outside of the City - might be a different story.

On July 26, the Moon will take to the network in a rare appearance and invite all those willing to hop on a ferry to a nearby island. The citizens of the City don’t seem terribly surprised by said island, though it may be a surprise to the Chosen, who have believed, until now, that the City is a very isolated entity. Apparently, though, this island is being overrun by low- and mid-level demons, and that’s making it a not very nice place.

Suffice to say, he wants a little help.

This is a mod-run plot, taking place from July 26 to July 28 in game, and October 30 to November 7 OOCly. There will be a network post to announce the official invitation, and a log for characters to participate in.

FAQ

- How long is this plot taking place?
The official timeline for characters heading out to clear the demons off the island will be from July 26 - 28: basically a weekend. At that point, the characters will be ferried back to the City.

- What’s the island like?
The island is a relatively small little thing - think of a small island resort - that can probably be crossed in around half an hour to an hour, depending on how fast you walk. There are gorgeous beaches and a forested area towards one end, as well as a little town set up. Most notably, it appears to be free from the City’s influence. Instead, when characters get there, they feel a little more relaxed than they might be used to.

- By what means do we have to get rid of the demons?
Whatever means possible. If that means killing them in a massive spree and leaving the bodies to get washed out to sea, so be it. If that means chatting with them and asking them to maybe stop it, then that’s fine too! Basically, it’s up to each character how they want to deal with the problem.

- What are the demons going to do?
The demons are effectively trying to set up a little area for themselves, separate from the rest of the City. Think of them as a tiny separatist culture who aren’t happy and wanted to get away. Some of the mid-level demons can be negotiated with, though there are those who refuse to listen and prefer to fight. The low-level demons - ie, the shadow demons typically seen in town - are a little less open to talk, but can usually be taken care of pretty easily. For some reason, most of the demons here are of a lower strength than those in town, so the problem shouldn’t be too hard to deal with.

- What happens if my character gets injured?
They’ll probably need medical attention. Though there’s very much the possibility for death, these demons aren’t really of the homicidal variety, and probably won’t try to kill someone except in self-defence.

- What if I don’t want to participate at all? Will I miss my opportunity to play with the island?
Participation is 100% optional, don’t worry, and you won’t miss anything. There will definitely be more fun to be had at the island if your character isn’t the fighting type.

It's been a while since Kate has played Super Action Whack-A-Demon but she's willing to try it again.
