Player Plot: A Spark of Something

A Spark of Something

Once upon a time, a wizard had his magic temporarily removed. When it returned a week or so later, he thought little of the longterm effects that this might have had on him. Little did he realise, there would be some changes he was unaware of.

---

All around the City, though most prominently in Leisurebrook, the Tower, and the Coliseum Districts, citizens and Chosen might notice a variety of changes. It all starts with the crackle of electricity in the air and the heightened chance to spark yourself; everyone hates static build-up in the air, after all. And maybe someone’s noticed a bit of ivy growing up the side of a building, or little flowers popping up through the cracks in the sidewalks. It’s hardly the time of year for that, after all.

As time goes on, these little signs seem to get larger and more demanding of attention. The odd bit of frizz in someone’s hair turns into a painful jolt when they get too near a building, or a small fire breaking out because the air is simply too dry. Those small flowers grow more and more, until they’re nipping at the ankles of people who pass - literally nipping. And that door that once led to the staff room is now nothing but a wall. But do try the door-shaped hole a few feet away, perhaps that’ll do it. Or maybe it’ll bring someone a block and a half away, out into the street.

Suffice to say, though: there’s definitely something odd going on.

Edit: Additionally, there will continue to be shadows lingering just outside of everyone's peripheral vision, creeping ever closer.

Mini Player run Plot~ In search of Vibrainium

Hi all~

So now that life has settled down, I can do this plot. I have gotten Mod permission for Steve to get his shield back off the Black market within the city. It will be costly (to him) and not easy, but he wants it make. I would like to do this before May 5th. Would anyone be interested in helping Steve find his shield?

The Darkness Arrives

Event: The Darkness Arrives

For the last little while, things in the City have been even. Ish. The curfew provided most individuals a vexing time, particularly those who wanted to partake in the nightlife for whatever reason. But as of late, the reason for exactly why the curfew was placed became slightly more obvious.

Whether you’ve noticed or not, the fog creeping into the City every evening, growing more and more thick until the City’s streets are hard to navigate thanks to the inability to see five feet in front of you, has brought with it some nasty little creatures. Some citizens may remember the influential demons that reside in dark corners of the City. These are not them. These are demons all their own, and they’re out for blood.

It’s true that they’re a little easier to kill than the influential demons, requiring only a well-placed blow, but they’re also a lot more determined to take chunks out of people. The murder rate is up lately, and this is why.

But that isn’t the only thing the fog’s bringing in.

The smaller demons are just a precursor, a way of easing citizens into what Big Bad is coming. And there is indeed something more coming.

In the late hours of September 27 (OOC: May 5), a rather large demonic creature (think this sort of thing) will crawl out from the depths of the waters next to the City and set about casually making itself at home. The citizens whisper hushed warnings about the Darkness; its goal is the Tower, and though it’s not making true attempts to kill anyone living in the City, it certainly doesn’t seem bothered by a little death. It seems to have another purpose in mind, though what that is, no one knows.

This is a two-part event, and players are not obligated to participate in any part of it. The first part is the smaller demon attacks, taking place from now until May 4, OOCly. The second part is the large-scale battle, wherein a handful of characters will be needed to take the attacking demon out. Anyone keen on fighting back is able to sign up and coordinate with other players to figure out what’s going to happen. There will be a log for the second half of the plot, but involvement in the first half is up to players.

This is a mod-run plot, taking place from September 24 - 28 in game, and April 24 - May 8 OOCly. There will be reminders in the State of the Game, and a log will go up for players to fight the Darkness on May 4.

Harvest Festival

Event: Harvest Festival

In the few days before August 31st, inhabitants of the City might notice a little activity in the Gardens of Pleasure. One city block has been blocked off from traffic and over the days, stalls have been constructed on the sidewalk. Your favorite restaurant or cafe in the District? Busy little beavers, carting in extra goods and stocking up. What’s going on, you ask?

We’ll tell you.

The Moon would like to thank the Chosen for going and dealing with the Magistrates' little ‘problem’ on the island, and he’s doing it with a Festival. Set in something akin to a Japanese Summer Festival, there will be food, games and a few rides to express one Magistrate's gratitude for a job ...done.

The Moon will also be giving out small gifts to those who participated in the actual clearing of the island. Earthen, nature style jewelry, small trinkets, oils: that sort of thing. These gifts will arrive via animal, without prior Character knowledge, and Players will be able to request the items they want to receive in this post.

As such, we ask that all characters who participated in the Island Plot (ie: went to the island and spoke to or fought with demons in some regard) fill in the following form with their desired gift. Keep in mind that it does need to be a relatively small object.The Moon wants to show his gratitude for their help, but isn’t in the business of giving people massive, useful things, unfortunately.

Keep in mind that the mods may ask to tweak a gift if it doesn’t seem appropriate for whatever reason.

The festival will span two days, August 31st and September 1st (OOCly February 12th - 17th), and there will be a party style log posted for your RP pleasure.

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.

Welcome to the Coliseum

Event: Welcome to the Coliseum

Shortly after the City-wide flooding, in the wake of the now-infamous Tower break-in, and just after a new City influence comes into play comes a rather odd little invitation: just as citizens were starting to feel as though things were tapering off, it’s obvious that they are not.

For the Chosen, at least.

Towards the end of the week, on July 3, every Chosen in the City will receive the same message: a video from Justice inviting everyone to come to the Coliseum in two days time for some kind of competition. He won’t tell anyone what the prize is, but it’s pretty obvious from the tone of his voice that he thinks it’s pretty good. Everyone will be strongly encouraged to come by, if they want to know what exactly it is they have a shot at.

All Chosen who show up at the appointed time and place will be met by Justice himself, and only at that point is he willing to divulge what it is he’s offering: the chance to go home, providing they’re willing to fight. Not just anyone, though - he expects them to fight each other in an all-out, Hunger Games-style brawl. The thing is that Justice isn’t exactly willing to let anyone who showed up go if they suddenly don’t want to participate. They’re stuck, for all intents and purposes.

Now, some Chosen may remember that Justice hasn’t exactly been a presence the last few weeks, and that rumours had been flying about his disappearance. Unfortunately, he’s not going to answer anything in regards to that, but it does seem like he’s just slightly pissed about things.

Of course, maybe that’s why he wants the Chosen to fight to what looks like it could be the death.

This is a mod-run plot, taking place from July 5 - 6 in game, and August 28 - September 2 OOCly. There will be an announcement in the State of the City to remind players, an official network from Justice that characters may respond to, and a log for all involved players.

A Wild Player Plot Appears!

Hello there, fellow City of Sinners! Friendly neighbourhood Momo here, bringing you a ~~player plot~~ event-type-thing featuring everyone’s favourite troublemaker, Devi D, and the Nancy Drew Crew! Also known as Draco and Margaery.

For those unaware of what’s been going on, Devi’s been nosing around in the Magistrates’ business for a while now, and the three of them have been looking into trying to figure out what’s what in the City. What makes it tick, what brought them there, et cetera. It’s not going so well.

Thus: they decide to break into the Tower. Yeah. Good plan. The Magistrates love when people do that.

The long and the short of it is that what they’re doing isn’t strictly legal - despite loopholes, courtesy of magic - and that sort of reflects poorly on a number of parties, particularly since Devi’s dating the Chief of Police, Draco’s an officer (and dating the Deputy Chief), and Margaery’s dating a Magistrate. At some point during the break-in, Draco will be triggering a security alarm, and the police will be notified, so by the time they go to leave, things won’t be going precisely as planned. Basically, they’ll be getting arrested.

Now we would love to have some PC police interaction with everyone here, but mostly in the interrogations after the fact. The arrests will likely be done by NPCs, and then, after the Nancy Drew Crew are taken in, we’d love to have others involved. So we’re taking volunteers for who wants to interrogate each of them, and deal with them after the fact!

Additionally, if someone wants to grow a little CR with the Crew, we would be open to a PC being there for the arrest as well, but we’d prefer those who don’t have a lot of CR with them. Oh, and all of this is taking place late this IC Sunday, June 22, and early morning on Monday.

FYI for characters who are in the police or know these two mutant jerks.

Erik is going to go missing early on the morning of April 9th, as seen in this post. Feel free to react to his disappearance, but nobody will be able to find out much about it. He'll be back at some point on April 10th with Charles, who will have to blow his cover to save Erik.

A Wild Event Appears!

Hello, players! Friendly neighbourhood Momo here on important mod business, announcing an event you never knew you wanted. This is a complex and intricate plot, so make sure to read this entire post. As you likely all know, I'm the mod of this game you call home, City of Sin, and as quite a few of you know, I also play in a lovely game called Throne of Shadows, where my dear friend Wizera mods.

Anyway, Momo and Wizera have decided to throw a loop in both games by having a crossover event! That's right! From roughly March 15 to March 18 (in game-time), the Egime is going to be docking in the City of Sin itself. The Egime is an airship - and the current setting of Throne of Shadows - and has a lovely tendency to float around in transit until it finds a good place to dock. Further information on it can be found over here.

Of course, a docking event is more than just landing in a new place. It's an event. So what's going to be happening? Well, the City of Sin normally causes certain emotions (lust, wrath, greed, you get the idea) to manifest in people, and amplifies what they already feel. The Egime's arrival, however, is going to throw an interesting kink into this problem. Because there are so many people on the Egime who also live in the City of Sin, these emotions are going to manifest themselves in the form of seven different kinds of deadly demons. Full descriptions of these demons can be found here, and they are, naturally, quite dark in nature. (Be warned: there are minor trigger warnings for discussions of water and spiders; these are found in the last two demons, so if this bothers you, please feel free to skip over those sections.)

As if fighting demons wasn't going to complicate the candidates' lives enough, they'll also be given the opportunity to interact with the PCs and perhaps some of the NPCs from the City of Sin. NPCs will likely be limited to one or two threads. Please talk to Momo if you want to request someone.

One last note before we get going: players from both games are more than welcome to plot with each other in these plotting posts! Mingle around! Meet someone new! The plotting post for Throne of Shadows can be found here!

But first, some FAQs. Since this is a complex plot, please, please, please read these thoroughly and ask questions in the appropriate sub-threads...

Player Plot!

Hello, lovelies! Tis Aria, with bad ideas ahoy.

Because Momo and I are terrible, we have decided that her delightful sociopath is going to get his hands on enough Lust to kill someone in the space of two weeks by spiking their food and drink. That someone is Narcissa, because why not.

So! We have a timeline of how things will go down, and there are a couple of you we definitely need for plot purposes (who know who they are), but if anyone else would like to be involved - especially in the aftermath - we'd love to have you along! More details below.
