Even though there isn't going to be an endgame plot here, I want to let everyone know how I'm choosing to wrap up my characters' storylines in game since I had things in motion that I don't want to leave hanging. CoS AU posts are up on Wanda's journal and Sara's journal for anyone who wants an AU psl or five.

- Wanda ([personal profile] divaricate) is staying dead in game-canon proper and will not be active in this new PSL-toned setting, so any of her 'new' CoS-verse canon will be strictly AU. I was obviously going to bring her back in the original plot in the game, but change of plans. She's died before in canon, so what's new tbh.

- With the relaxation of the full-game mechanics here in light of shifting to a PSL tone, Sara ([personal profile] canaria) will be taking this chance to move to the desert planet. She'll visit the City limits and whatnot as needed if anyone wants to PSL with her here in the CoS comms again, but homebase is elsewhere for her.

Hello Sinners! I've got a winter/holiday city-wide event for you and your characters to enjoy and/or suffer through! Looks like the City is hungry for some Christmas Cheer this year and NO ONE CAN ESCAPE. (Just kidding you can opt out if you really want to.)

Starting a week before Christmas day, (December 18th IC, January 6th OOC) enchanted mistletoe will appear in random places around the city, hung in doorways, hallways, under traffic lights, anywhere high enough that people can easily walk under. This mistletoe can be destroyed or removed, but will grow back in the same or nearby spot within 4-8 hours, and it seems the more that is destroyed the more comes back in the general vicinity. Like a Hydra you cut off a head, two grow in its place. Have fun playing with that mechanic!

When two people stand under this mistletoe at the same time, even if just passing through at the same time, each character will get the unavoidable urge to either kiss or hug the other character. What kind of kiss or hug is up to each character and player but it can’t be resisted. Hooray!

There will also be new snowfall starting the same day the mistletoe appears. This snow will also be enchanted and perfect for snowballs and snowman making. When exposed (by touch) to this enchanted snow, characters will feel a sense of playfulness and wonder as well as a warmth that brings good memories of past holidays or traditions of family and friends to their mind. How characters react or respond to this is up to you and them, but the purpose is to give them something that makes them generally happy (even if bittersweet) and festive.

Everything is back to normal come Christmas morning, except each character upon waking will find a wrapped present addressed to them nearby containing an item from home. This will be an item that should bring generally positive feelings to your character, even if complex. It shouldn’t be something that brings too much angst. Good will and cheer and all that jazz.

Any questions, ask below in the comments!

Please also reply to the gift request thread to clear said gifts with our mod!

Hihi, everyone! This is for anyone who wants to do some OOC coordinating regarding the most recent installment of Wanda's alien bullshit plot (here is a closed log that elaborates more on that video post).

→ For our new players in game, this is the first plot we've had in game that's starting to delve into the alien origins of the three new planets, and I hope there's many more proposed by people who want their characters to explore some alien lore! Wanda's has been focusing on the jungle planet. It's not too late to jump in on this one, either.

Hey Sinners! Lily here bringing you another player plot. This one is an oldie but a goodie and much fun can be hand with it. It's called the Dreamscape event and it's open to everyone who wishes to participate.

For those of you who aren't familiar, it's pretty easy. Your character falls asleep and begins to dreams. Pretty normal, right? Well, not exactly. Within the Dreamscape plot, there's someone else that's been pulled into the dream, as well, and remembers it when the dream is over.

This event is scheduled for November 2 - 10th, OOC / November 26th-28th, in game.

OOC Info

- Can I opt-out? Yes! If this isn't your kind of plot then no worries! Participation is not mandatory.

- Who can dreamwalk on my characters dream? Whoever you like! It can be someone close to your character or a person they don't know very well or even at all. We suggest taking the time to plot things out. This kind of event is also great for establishing new CR!

- What should my character dream? Whatever you want them to! Is there a person or place that your character loves that's only in their homeworld? What about a certain event that took place in their life? Maybe a secret you (as the player) want to come out that your character won't talk about or divulge to those they are close to in the City? The possibilities are endless and can range from heartwarming to terrifying. And you don't have to limit it to one dream. This event spans three in-game days!

Any other questions? Drop it down below!

Feel free to create top levels in this post for your character(s) for plotting purposes!

Just an OOC plotting spot for anyone that I might not have on my plurk.

So Angel & Wanda have over the last few months been investigating the Jungle more extensively, as well as beginning to build a base and weapons testing area for some of Angel's more ridiculous weapons. In that time they've learned a few things like the aliens are running experiments to build human-animal hybrids, and the last time they were there - they were joined by Steve it's almost like he remembers what happens last time Wanda was on the planet and found a trap door.

Which they then investigated.

Turns out that the trap door leads to a secret meeting room of a cult! Who are very upset that there are strangers in their meeting!

Also, their God is there too. Apparently Cthulu isn't the only Eldritch being lurking around, oops. At which point, Wanda is going to accidentally knock herself out, leaving Angel and Steve pinned down and in need of some help!

The plan is roughly, an IC network post for people to react to and do any planning icly they might want to. Then a log for the rescue a day later and so on.

A-YO City of Sin, Lily here to bring you some information about an ongoing plot that some of our computer savvy characters are involved in that will, inevitably affect the City, by and large. For those who don't have me on Plurk, let me give you the rundown.

Over the past month, Elliot here has been quietly working on why exactly the City network can't be hacked. So, after talking to some people, came to learn that the Magistrates do not take kindly to the Chosen poking around where their noses don't belong and tend to make the Chosen's business their business. What does this mean? Well, it means they are listening and watching everything your character does.

And what do we say? OH HELL NO.

In an effort to gain some control, Elliot (along with his secondary personality, Mr Robot) are assembling a group of people to design a power source and server that will allow them to effectively switch out the Magistrate network for a Chosen run network, which will be, you guessed it, completely secure and off-limits to any poking around done by the Higher Ups.

What changes? Not much. In fact, not only will the Chosen network include secure text, audio and video with privacy filters, but also game and music apps that will allow anyone that comes to the City with their own device the option to share their music with other Chosen (think Spotify) and other possible options that are similar to other features you'd find on a mobile phone.

OOC Info

* Is there an opt-out? Seeing as the plot has been approved by our rad moderator and effects the entire City, no. But honestly, you'll want the new network. It's going to be WAY better.

* When's this all taking place? Things are low-key happening right now, however, it will all conclude on November 9th, in-game (September 13th, 14th and 15th, OOCly), the Magistrate network will go dark for approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour (look, we have professionals on this ahem) and bam, a network by one of the group will inform the Chosen of the changes.

* Is it too late to get my character involved in this? They're computer/tech savvy! Not at all! Just let me know in the comments section below and we can get them on board.

* Can my character make a request for specific features or options? As long as our fearless mod leader doesn't object, yes they can! If you think your character would make a suggestion/request, post it down below and I can doublecheck.

Any other questions? Ask down yonder :)

Happy almost (IC) Halloween, players!
🎃💀☠️

Courtesy of these shenanigans are thanks to Team Connor, for being bold, brave, and accidentally poking at things under the sea. Here’s a follow up post by The High Priestess on the matter.

Starting late on the IC date of NOVEMBER 1st and lasting until the early hours of NOVEMBER 3rd (be sure to check the game calendar for corresponding OOC dates), the City will be, um, “treated” to a presence breaking out of the ocean depths -- Cthulhu is going to come say hi to the Chosen -- and wreaking havoc on the City with some of its friends.

👾



These friends will not be nearly as big as Cthulhu, nor quite as formidable, but will resemble versions of things found in the deep sea -- gnarly teeth, worm-like bodies, bioluminescent attachments, et cetera. Players may be as free as they want in their imaginations of these minions, but, as always: if you have any questions, please ask in the mod question thread of this entry.

I will be posting an event log for this when the event starts, so please wait for that to go up before doing any IC threading -- this is your plotting post, for all your plans, questions, and getting ducks in rows.

*drumrolls*...


OTHER BITS OF INFORMATION:

➤ Players on hiatus or who want to opt out of this event can have their characters take relative shelter on one of the other planets, or the Magistrates left will be securing some underground shelters for natives and Chosen who don’t want to or can’t deliver asskickings to cosmic gods.

➤ Cthulhu will do most of its damage mentally (see below point), but also because of its sheer size (yes, we're using the scale size in the linked picture of it above wHOOPS), will also fuck up some structures. Cthulhu's minions, however, will be doing most of the physical damage, especially if they get a person surrounded and overwhelmed.

➤ Prolonged contact or direct near presence with Cthulhu induces insanity. You won't go from 0 to 100 in a half-second, but it'll definitely be a steady medium-to-slow climb, depending on one's mental fortitude. The only people who are 100% immune to the insanity effects are Magistrates, however.

➤ By November 3rd (IC date), the combined efforts to beat back Cthulhu And Friends will have them driven back to the sea to hopefully stay there this time.

➤ If you have plans to kill your character off during this event, run it by the plot post before the event post goes up so we can keep a headcount.

Hi, players! For a small mod-run event/thing coming up, characters will be receiving one item from their home worlds or if they're an AU/CRAU, then they can make a request for something from their AU/CRAU worlds. Not both — AU/CRAU characters can choose where the item comes from, but in the interest of fairness, they can't pick one from each.

A few things of note:

▶ No one is forced to participate; you don't have to make a request if you don't want to.

▶ Fill out the form request for an item; this is so I have a list of who wants what and to make sure it's not too game-breaking. If your item is approved, you will get a comment reply saying so. If it isn't, I'll let you know that too, and you can certainly think of something else.

▶ Players have until the OOC date of AUGUST 15th, 2019 to make a request.

▶ Characters will NOT receive their approved items immediately. More on dates of the 'when' later.

▶ These are OOC requests, not IC ones. Meaning, you pick the item but your character doesn't ICly know about it yet, nor are you to assume has a request for the item been handwaved.

▶ The items can be magical/supernatural in nature, but please explain fully how they are. That is because these items may have to be nerfed some.

▶ The items are to be reasonably sized in nature. AKA: Don't ask for a Death Star.

▶ These requests are open to Chosen characters only. No NPCs/Magistrates.

▶ If you play more than one character, you may make one request per character.

▶ Comments are screened; any questions may be asked in the comments.

Hello, friends!

I've been talking about this for a while and I'm finally gonna actually do the thing! For those of you who don't know what thing I've been talking about, let me explain.

Connor here has a ship. It's an 18th century brig, but it's a good ship, Brent. It's the Jackdaw from Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, left in his hands after his grandpa Edward Kenway left the City. And now he's gonna take it out into the sea! Or, you know, on the surface of the sea.

He made an IC network post a while back about it, but in case anyone didn't reply to it or wasn't even in the game when it went up and you still want in on it, please let me know! We can either thread out a thing or handwave that your character was invited. Most of the crew are gonna be NPCs that I'm just gonna decide Connor has befriended around Shantytown and the docks, bc he works there.

ANYWAY. So towards the end of May OOCly I'm gonna make the first log for it. This actually isn't going to be all that exciting, bc they'll basically just sail out there to see how far they can get, and somewhere along the line get turned around and end up back in the City.

Then comes the fun part! I've been told by the dear mods that there is something under the water. I have no idea what it is, but we're gonna check it out. So after their first failed trip of finding nothing of value, Connor's going to spend some time practicing diving with the diving bell on the ship. It's gonna be a little cold, but that's fine.

And another few IC days after the first trip, he's gonna head out with the ship again! If you'd also like to get in on the diving, you're very welcome to do so, especially if you have any kind of magic or abilities that makes the whole thing easier.

TL;DR we're taking an 18th century brig out to sea to explore. Who wants in?

The OOC plotting post for these shenanigans should anyone need or want it.

As stated in the linked post, characters can steal weapons and/or intel from this. If your character is inclined to want to do either — or both! — of these things, PM the mod account ([personal profile] sinfulmods) stating if you want weapons/intel/both, and the mod will tell you what your character can find. This is so you can get things that your character would find interesting to them (or not if you wanna make a special request for them to get something stupid) to poke at for plot, and to keep track of who has what.

Any questions regarding can be brought up in the first top level to this entry.

Seeing as there's an influx of people who want to work for the police force — in various positions — and since somehow, my little weirdo has been tasked with running the police, I have a proposal for some fun potential CR.

There are at least 4 PCs, and maybe even 5 or 6 PCs who all are talking to Gabriel about jobs right now.

1. Once you all pass your interviews, Gabriel is going to want to start partnering you up, because that's what he's seen on TV, but also because that's how the paramilitary organization he spent a little time with did things. If you're interested in this, can you let me know here? And if any of you have preferences for who you're paired with b/c you want to build CR with that person, I can just make up a random reason why Gabriel would put you two together.

2. Once you're partnered (or not) — he's going to be interested in giving you missions. Now, usually these won't conflict with our crime-committing PCs, but sometimes they will, depending on what's happening. He has a few things in mind, but if there's something you specifically want to play, let me know too, and I'll just magically have Gabe be on the same page.

For reference, here are all the PCs I know about so far who have explicitly expressed interest in joining the force and are in the process of getting a job here:

- Homicide: Mystique (aka Raven) + Chloe Decker (+ Lucifer)
- Drugs: Jill Valentine + Felicity Smoak
- Robberies: James Norrington
- Fetch Walker?

If I should add you to this list, even if our tags haven't gotten your character to an explicit ask yet, please let me know!

----- updates! ------

1. Gabriel is also looking for an assistant. Someone who isn't trying to be an officer or a detective, but who just wants a job and is real organized. Kate may take this job???

2. He may be asking Erik to come back to the force soon. So if that makes your characters want to work there more, feel free to factor that in. But that isn't going to go well. Erik won't be able to have that job.

Magneto's move on the City is imminent. Here is what involved parties will be doing so far. If you want to be involved or you would like to position your character somewhere in all this but NOT with Erik or you want your character to do something other than what Erik has determined, please let me know below.

Erik's Plan

Physically Infiltrating the Tower
Erik
Devi
Eliot
Wanda
Zach
Ace
Kurt
Handy

Eliot and Wanda will be tasked with magically binding the Heart once they reach its chamber.
Zach will be cutting off the guards' access to their location with walls of ice.
Devi and Erik are the point attack in getting through resistance (guards etc) and getting them to the Heart's chamber. So is Ace if he wants to be in this part. He has also been involved in Support, below, getting info on weapons that work on natives like the guards and on Magistrates.
Kurt will be their backup escape plan and also help get them in.

Devi (and possibly Ace) may also break away to accomplish something else...?

Devi and Zach are getting an outfit from Wanda. Ace does NOT want one. Does Eliot want a team outfit?? Does Kurt?? Does Handy??? (See Erik's armour above; they come with swag capes.)

Support
Charles
Sylar
Rhys
Diana
Airy

Charles will be positioned in an abandoned shop not far from the Tower. He's on surveillance and will keep an eye on security and also on what's going on outside the Tower and communicate with Erik's team inside. Airy will be assigned to protect Charles while he's vulnerable, with his mind not really focused on where his body is at.

Sylar will be creating a violent distraction elsewhere in town right before the main attack happens in order to draw attention away from the team infiltrating the Tower.

Diana will be holding an outdoor concert on the other side of the City and use her vampire hypnotism to draw as large an audience as possible as a distraction.

Rhys gave Erik quite a bit of intel on the Heart and Tower security.

Miscellaneous
Sarah

Sarah will be making sure everyone is well fed and coffee'd before the mission. And that Charles and Airy have sandwiches to eat while hanging out in the dark shop.

Need More Info
Diana
Handy
Kurt

Do they want to be involved? What capacity do they want to be involved in?

Other
Steve
Kate
Airy

Steve is getting involved with Rhys' shelter and helping civilians. Airy has joined the cause. Kate is also going to help with the shelter and any casualties and hang out with people who enjoy shit talking Erik. It's the right thing to do.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? Please let me know.

Or, as I call this plot, "Erik, No."

Hey peeps, let's talk about where this is going. Has everyone who wanted to talk to Erik before making a decision on whether they are pro Erik's plan, anti Erik's plan or Plan Lay Low And Mind Their Own Business had a chance to talk to Erik on the Island yet?

If you haven't and you'd like to, please feel free to still tag in.

If you HAVE decided where you'd like your character to be, please comment below and let me know so I can plan out what Erik will do next, based on who is helping him.

If your character is still undecided and needs convincing one way or another by Erik or someone else, let me know that too. Erik is sending Sylar to talk to some of the undecideds :D And also some of the 'no's. You're welcome.

Also anything else you want to know or want to discuss about this whole thing, let me know below.

Thank you everyone for your engagement; I've enjoyed every single thread I've done for this plot so far and look forward to whatever comes next. Remember, I'm not married to any particular outcome, so however you want your characters to react, this is choose your own adventure.

Hey Sinners - you ready?

There are always times where people wish they were something that is in their past. Be it being a child, being a better person, being a different person, regression is an idle wish for some and a nightmare for others. On June 20th (In Game), chosen will wake up to find themselves and their partners... Different. Be that by age, by power, by mental stability or evolution - this event's effects will be left vague for you and your characters interpretation.

This event will last 3 IC days, from the 20th, to the 22nd.

Feel free to use this as a plotting post or ask questions of the mods!

Event: A Walk in Someone Else’s Shoes

Sometimes things in the City happen for a reason. Sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they occur naturally - or as naturally as anything does, around those parts - and blow in with the weather. During the morning of January 16, a strange looking storm rolls in, complete with dark purple clouds that seem to crackle with lightning, lighting the clouds up into lavender and royal purple tones. It’s probably abundantly clear to everyone that it’s definitely not a normal storm with normal lightning. Far from.

In fact, there’s no real explanation for it, and it doesn’t seem to bring any rain - which is nice - but it does bring other oddities with it. And those oddities culminate in a very nice pop.

Around noon, every Chosen in the City will hear that gentle pop, and it’s at that time that something very strange is going to happen: they’re going to swap powers.

---


This is a mod-driven event and players are not obligated to participate in it. The event will take place from April 1 to April 18, OOCly, or from January 16 to January 21 in game time. There will be a narrative announcement when the event kicks in, and another to signal its close, though players are free to backdate and/or backtag to their heart’s content.

Event: This is Halloween



There comes a time once every year when the veil is thinner between the realms, and in a place like the City of Sin - already vexed by the ability to draw people in from every place imaginable - that isn’t always a good thing.

Though the City has been seeming very even of late - the sun’s been shining and nothing’s come to visit since the Darkness - there’s always a hint that maybe it’s all luring the City’s populace into a false sense of security. Few seem truly worried about the coming holiday, but there have been things that give people pause. The shadows, for example, creeping around just outside of one’s vision.

But no one can quite prove that those are actually the City’s doing. Still, it doesn’t seem to stop things from happening.

Regardless of everything that’s been going on - or perhaps because of it - the City goes on as normal, just as it always has. In fact, the Emperor seems to have something special under wraps. Word has it there’s a party being planned for the holiday, and that’s exactly what’s going to happen. Instead of setting it up at the Tower, though, it’s a much more down to earth bash, set up at OHM with the help of a few Chosen.

Sometime on October 27 (OOC: August 1 - 3), every citizen and Chosen in the City will receive a rather modern-looking invitation outlining the details of said event.



As with any Halloween party, costumes are highly encouraged. On the lower level of the club, there will be a more raucous party for those who care to take part in club-style partying, while the VIP area is reserved for those who’d rather celebrate the party with class.

---


Starting on the 27th as well, unbeknownst to the City, the shadows lurking around everyone’s peripheral vision will begin to solidify. Creatures rather like Dementors seem to creep out of the shadows, looming ever closer. Perhaps they even get close enough to touch; in that event, the air will feel cold and full of dread, though the shadowy creatures don’t attack any more than that. Yet.

As of the 31st, things will shift around a little more. Instead of appearing as Dementors, the shadows will start to appear as nightmares from characters’ own worlds: dead lovers, family, friends; some kind of thing that goes bump in the night; you name it. It’s as though all those fears from the past suddenly came back to say hello, just for a night.

As of November 1st, things will start to ease back to normal. The shadows will return to simply being shadows, though the paranoia that comes along with them may not fade so easily.

This is a mod-run event spanning from August 1 - 15 OOCly (October 27 - 31 in-game). There will be a log for the main event as well as reminders in the coming State of the Game.
