September 2015 Plotting Post

[undergroundmods]

September 2015
Here is your September plotting post! You can make use of the information here to plot what your character will be doing in the next month. Check out the calendar for a quick summary of when things are happening.

In the last month there have been a number of game updates which are hopefully useful to refer to! Here's a quick list:

• New guidelines for territory claims – clarifying the process for territory claims and how to take part.
• How to bribe a Night Council member and make a petition! – because all politicians are corrupt and you've gotta play the game to change the game.
• Information on Night Council elections and representatives – the current shape of the Night Council.
• Night Council Guardians and what they do – criteria for becoming a Guardian and what the role involves.

Factions
The East End Pack is in need of a new leader following the departure of their previous alpha Derek Hale at the end of August. While they fight amongst themselves to decide the new alpha, they must also contend with the upcoming blood moon that will render every werewolf powerless. These are dangerous times for the pack.

The power of the Seelie Court is also waning as the Unseelie Court prepares for war. It will be in this month at the autumn equinox that the balance is finally tipped and the Unseelie Court take their rightful place as rulers north of the river.

The Islington Nest will react to what it sees as hostile forces surrounding its territories, embarking on a recruitment drive. Are the vampires gearing up for war with the werewolves or with the fae?

Finally, even the most urban of witches always feel a strong connection to nature. This month, they will be celebrating all things related to the harvest.

Territories
The Seelie and Unseelie Court now have control of Lewisham, which was previously a lawless territory. Circle Daybreak is the most powerful faction in the city, with six territories. Current disputes include Greenwich and Haringey, which are both claimed by vampires and werewolves. Meanwhile, Lambeth remains a lawless territory, dangerous for anyone to enter. See the Territories page for more information.

Please note that new guidelines for territory claims have now been added to the Territories page. Make sure you're familiar with them before taking part in a claim, and let me know if you have any questions.

If your faction would like to claim a new territory, please comment to the appropriate thread. Players will then have three days from the date and time of the initial claim to sign up for the conflict. Anyone can sign up, but please only volunteer your character if they are a member of a faction involved in the conflict or they have IC reasons to actively help out. Please do not volunteer if you won't be able to participate in the plot.

If the outcome of the conflict is not already guaranteed, I will then look at the sign-ups list to calculate which faction will emerge victorious. It is up to players to plan and play out the actual conflict itself. If you comment to claim a territory, then you should also take the lead in planning and organizing it.

Minions
The following lucky minions will be promoted this month:

Ume | Fae, Seelie Court | Level 1
‣ A reserved kitsune who likes peace and quiet. The most likely to have a tart remark.

Michê | Fae, Unseelie Court | Level 1
‣ A Yeti from the Himalayas. Huge, at least nine feet tall but not very bright. Mostly acts as muscle. Doesn't do well in heat so he can only visit for short periods of time on hot days unless a winter fae is around to keep him cool.

These minions will decide to leave town this month:

Laura Hendricks | Witch, Circle Midnight | Level 1
‣ A woman of sixty who belonged to a scattered Midnight coven in her youth. She gives good advice, but it's usually buried in long, boring stories.

Kiku | Fae, Seelie Court | Level 1
‣ A polite kitsune who struggles to be ladylike. The most likely to sneak sweets.

Onmoraki | Fae, Seelie Court | Level 1
‣ A fork-tongued black crane. Ill-tempered, with a propensity to breathe fire.

Apsi | Fae, Unseelie Court | Level 1
‣ A quiet bee-like fae who prefers to keep to herself. Twin sister of Mellifera.

Astarte | Fae, Unseelie Court | Level 1
‣ A Muse with a fondness for art. Can hide among paintings.

And these less fortunate minions will sadly die this month:

Danil | Fae, Seelie Court | Level 1
‣ A quiet, intense individual who spent most of his life as a changeling before discovering his true nature. Still adjusting to his new identity.

Karakasa Kozou | Fae, Seelie Court | Level 1
‣ A neglected old umbrella spirit. Resentful at its treatment in human hands.

Phobos | Fae, Seelie Court | Level 1
‣ A karasu tengu that likes shiny objects. Fierce and prideful.

Deimos | Fae, Seelie Court | Level 1
‣ A karasu tengu that likes to play in the snow. Inquisitive and clever.

Wanyuudo | Fae, Seelie Court | Level 1
‣ A vengeful creature resembling a man's head bound to a fiery wheel of fate.

Factions may decide how and when their minions die, leave town or receive a promotion. Feel free to work these developments into any of this month's plots.

Drops
The following characters will be leaving this month:

Apollo Justice | Redbright Institute | apolly | Left town 17/8/15
Malia Tate | East End Pack | tippytoes | Left town 22/8/15
Derek Hale | East End Pack | viduation | Left town 25/8/15
Stiles Stilinski | East End Pack | mensrea | Left town 26/8/15

Their faction may decide the exact details of how characters leave and incorporate their exit into their plots if they wish.

Events

1st September – SCHOOL YEAR BEGINS. Sorry, kids, the holidays are over. New year, new term... maybe even new teachers or classmates. Have fun.

4th-25th September – RECRUITMENT DRIVE. This is Islington Nest speak for turning new vampires. Concerned in particular by the rise of the fae, Millicent's orders are for every earl and countess to bring new lackeys into the nest, and to turn the most promising into vampires. She will also be encouraging violent scare tactics around the borders of Islington Nest territory, to make sure that everyone knows the vampires are not to be messed with. Expect increasing numbers of vampire attacks, missing people and intimidation in general.

5th September – STRAW JACK IN THE GREEN. In Carshalton, Sutton, a straw man will be set on fire as part of a traditional harvest ritual. That's after you've spent the whole day in the local pubs, of course. Witches love all the tree hugging, but beware of the Unseelie who may try to sneak in as one of the characters.

19th September – HARVEST FESTIVAL.* The biggest harvest-themed event of the month is the traditional Harvest Festival which is held by the witches. Sponsored by Sylvia Redbright, it takes place in Elthorne Park. There are market stalls, a harvest altar where charitable donations can be made, and numerous witches selling trinkets, potions and low-level spells. In addition, one character from every supernatural species except ghosts may volunteer to take part in a blood ritual, designed to promote supernatural unity. This will be a mingling event designed to welcome new players! Everyone is invited.

23rd September – MABON (AUTUMN EQUINOX). The autumn equinox represents the balance between summer and winter, and thus the Seelie and Unseelie Courts find themselves equally matched. As darkness falls, the Unseelie will muster their forces to drive out the Seelie north of the river. They will succeed and the balance of power in the Other Realm will be reversed – a sign that winter will soon take hold. This is also an important time for witches who are giving thanks for the harvest. It is traditional to invite guests into one's home for a celebratory meal. However, witches who perform dark magic may find a different occupation: the changeover of seasons is the perfect time to summon the fae from either Court, whose power is at an equal but manageable ebb.

28th September – BLOOD MOON (TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE). A rare event and one that has a significant impact on the werewolf population. Instead of transforming, werewolves temporarily lose all of their supernatural powers during a total lunar eclipse. The sun's shadow will begin passing over the moon at 02:07. Wolves will begin to feel their powers waning and may experience a strange lethargy. Between 03:11 and 04:23 the eclipse will be total and the moon will appear blood red. During this time, werewolves will be completely powerless. Finally, the sun's shadow will leave the moon at 05:27. By this time, werewolves will begin to recover their normal strength.

*There will be a mod-posted log for this event.

Plots
The following prompts are up for grabs this month:

1) Missing person alert. A hunter has gone missing. They were last seen almost a month ago, travelling to the outskirts of London to hunt down a werewolf. Reward: £500 – Claimed by Jack
2) You discover a coffin containing a sleeping vampire. Upon waking, it becomes apparent that the vampire is in fact a fae, and they put you in the coffin instead. The coffin is under a spell that means it must always be occupied.
3) (Warning: Child death.) A child is in hospital. You save the child's life with vampire blood, but the next day the child is killed in an accident and wakes up in transition to becoming a vampire. Child vampires have no concept of controlling their blood lust and it is forbidden to turn them. What do you do? – Claimed by Katy
4) Travellers over a bridge are being stopped by a fae demanding that they answer a riddle. Everyone who gets the riddle wrong is turned into a goose. – Claimed by Violet

About plots and events
• You may claim one plot prompt per month.
• You can also run your own plots based on the events listed above, or create your own.
• If you claim a plot, then you also volunteer to take the lead OOCly i.e. planning and organizing with other players, deciding on the outcome, setting a timeline etc.
• Once you have claimed a plot, you should introduce it ICly within the next month.
• Plots may not be entirely handwaved. You may handwave some of the plot, but you should play out at least part of it.
• Some plots will require NPCs as well as player characters to fill different roles. Please feel free to make up and play the NPCs yourselves.
• Plots are generally open-ended enough that you can make them big or small. It is up to the player who claims the plot to decide how they would like to handle it. You may want to do open sign-ups for your plot and specify whether there is a limit on how many characters can participate.
• Plots can also be self-contained or form part of an ongoing storyline. Again, it is your choice on how you would like to handle it.
• Please feel free to integrate plots and events or join plots up where appropriate. For example, if you claim a plot that involves a murder, why not choose an event during which the murder could happen? As long as the mod and other players are aware of your plans, I'm happy to accommodate.
• Do not ask the mod to explain what the plot is and what your character should do or discover. That is up to you. These plot ideas are just that, ideas, and it is up to you to run with them and decide how and why these events are happening, what your characters are going to do about it, and what the consequences will be.
• You may ask the mod questions pertaining to game mythology, to check that what you are planning to do makes sense within the game world.
• This list is not meant to be limiting in any way! Player plots are also very welcome.
• If you have an idea for a player plot, please feel free to comment here and see if there is any interest. Run it by the mod first if you're unsure of anything.

QUESTIONS

[undergroundmods]

[youronlylaw]

During the Blood Moon, do werewolves lose their blood toxicity towards vampires?

[vampiracy]

Is it required the child be euthanized? Or could he find some kind of home for him/her outside of London? I think he has connections and maybe could give the child to a vampire that would want to raise them. Is that possible?

[warmheartedly]

Quick question! From what I understand of the multiple disputes part of the territory claims, if Character A is already defending a territory then Character A cannot claim a territory since they'll be too busy with one event as it is.

Plot lead(s): Lynn

Making Alliances!

[youronlylaw]

There's a void of power in the East End Pack and it could not be coming at a worse time - the Blood Moon is coming in September and it'll leave all werewolves vulnerable to attack. James is a beta and an ambitious one at that, and frankly he doesn't want to end up vampire-chow.

So he'll be asking for help from Fae and Witches! If you want to aid the East End Pack in defending themselves, let's get started figuring it out! He will be covertly approaching the Circle Midnight group and Fae in the weeks before the Harvest Festival - just to cover all his bases.

On the 19th he'll formally ask Sylvia Redbright for assistance. He'll do anything he can to keep werewolves safe.

And, as an added bonus, advance himself as well.

[detectiveofthewest]

Barring James building a machine that runs on the souls of forsaken children or anything, Heiji will volunteer himself/his minions to help for free. He'll also probably suggest a more formalized alliance if James wants organized aid -- since the fae as a general rule don't bloody their noses for free 8').

Croyden: Territory Claim around the 5th

[rules_winter]

Heiji has talked Mab into doing another territory claim this month! This is the post for the plotting for that claim. Obviously we're going to run into resistance since this is actually Daybreak territory. (Should I add that resistance is futile here?) Some people will obviously want to stay available to defend current territories if needed but for the rest of you, let me know what you'd like to do, if you have any specific things you want to happen.

And anyone defending as well, let us know what kind of confrontations you'd be interested in!

[detectiveofthewest]

Since we have some fae minions dying this month, I'd like to throw them in to be killed! I'd like to save Phobos and Deimos's deaths for something a bit later on, but yeah. Happy to NPC any others.

Since they're co-running this, would Mab prefer to run her things her way and Heiji will run his things his? Or would she rather work together?

Heiji's preferred method would focus on minimizing casualties on both sides through extensive intel beforehand (sort of like how he helped out with Lewisham) -- under the understanding that by mounting a surprise attack as quickly as possible and disrupting spell preparations (since witches need those for magic), they can try and end things before they get too bloody. Decoy attacks would probably be a thing to misdirect attention and target organization/morale. And of course plenty of illusion spells and confuzzling vulnerable witches to start attacking each other. Fight smart, not hard B)

Barnet: territory claim

[acrookedchild]

Okay. So. Abigail's decided to make a definite strike against Redbright. By taking back what she feels is the territory Sylvia forced her presence into. Barnet.

So, she's going to be trying to rally the Midnight allies to take Barnet for Circle Midnight.

Melly and I have discussed this, and the Redbright claim that will be going on for Haringey will correspond with this territory claim.

[youronlylaw]

You've got James' support! (Though that really isn't much rn but it will be?)

And his law firms. Because he can.

HARINGEY CLAIM PLOTTING

[warmheartedly]

Hi everyone! I'm Melly and I play this little ghost lady here, Clara Seville. This month, she'll be trying to arrange and help in an attempt to claim territory in the name of Redbright Institute following the death of a meta human and the superiors of the school deciding it'll be best in their interests to get another territory so there's another safe zone for people to be in.

ICly this means the school will be sending out agents to scout for new places so feel free to notice a sudden increase of Redbright students/teachers/agents in areas adjacent to Redbright territories. They'll then bring in their suggested ares and Haringey is simply Clara's successful suggestion since it's close to not only their territory but still close to the Night Council. Plus her part of the cemetery is resting there in the location so that helps. Yaaaay.

Since this is disputed territory between two existing factions, they'll be trying to get the werewolves and/or the vampires to agree to the idea of handing the school the area since they'll try to do their best to be a neutral party and the safe zone will at least secure a promise of no violence of befalling on them unlike the current state. The school will try to do this peacefully and diplomatically as possible since they have no interests in starting fight with anyone/everyone so they'll try to use flattery and promise as their main weapons here. They'll probably lose in a fullblown faction fight let's be real. This will be broken down into threeish parts:

[ PLANNING ]
To coordinate the eventual claiming by scouting the area and taking down notes of who is who, where is where, and what is what. This will also involve talking to needed faction leaders and members to smooth out tensions and get them to agree to the idea of Redbright having it by either promising things/support or presenting gifts/tributes to the leaders/important members.

There'll be a small post up for this on the 1st or 2nd of September where there'll be threads to choose an adventure -- scouting, negotiating, -- and play out stuff with people if they're interested in doing that.

As part of some planning of mine, Clara will be claiming a FAVOUR from the Redbright Institute superiors so she'll be able to promise the guaranteed support of the school to ONE (1) faction for an event of theirs in the future if they agree to help out with this. Clara will also be claiming a GRANT too so she and the group can buy favours/good will from people. They'll probably buy blood for vampires and... extra clothes for the werewolves? Whatever will make the groups happy enough to agree.

[ CLAIMING ]
To attempt and claim Haringey for the school. They'll be sending in agents around the area, turning it into a safe zone by informing parties of interest that they'll be taking over thanks to agreement between the werewolves and vampires.

They'll give those who are not interested in the arrangement -- vampires who drain people dry, witches who perform dark magic -- a chance to leave after taking note of their identities for future reference/reporting to the school and the Council. If the person refuses or attempts to fight that's when they'll use force.

There'll be a post for this occurring around the mid of September, around the 15th or 16th since we'll say the school wants to get all in a row and be prepared for anything.

[ DEFENDING ]
To protect the currently claimed territories of the school.

This is due to the fact that not only is Redbright attempting to claim territory against both vampires and werewolves but also because Circle Midnight will be attempting to claim territory from Redbright Institute.

To let you guys know noooow -- Lynn and I discussed this and agreed to the arrangement here. We thought it'll be fun to make territory claims become more messy. \ o /

Any concerns, questions, or suggestions you have for this? If you want me to NPC anyone or thread anything in particular with you, let me know and I'll see what I can do! Please feel free to use this claiming territory plot to further a plot of your own if you want. I'm totally down with anything happening. My plurk is prognostic so feel free to add me at the moment so we can keep in contact with each other if you want. Thanks for reading this!

[livelongenough]

Henry is definitely going to be helping in the claiming part, since he has worked with vampires before, helping stop someone who was draining them. So... not a great in, but he's at least willing to offer his assistance to Clara. Especially in the name of peace.

Part One: Silver and Silk

[divinerighttorule]

So!

This is a very small beginning to a four-part plot with Azula. Starting around the middle of August and thorough September, Azula has made a deal with Kenzi and will be looking to make minor ones with other non-fae. All she wants in return for small favors? Bits of silver and iron in containers she can touch.

She won't reveal what she wants them for, and she's storing them in the mortal world so they can't interfere/be noticed by her fellow fae in the Other Realm.

Anyone care to unwittingly help her collect said materials?

[veratrum]

...You have his attention.

Liam wants some sun protection, but he can help her out.

Plot #3: Whither Shall I Wander?

[takemeinyourdream]

Travellers over a bridge are being stopped by a fae demanding that they answer a riddle. Everyone who gets the riddle wrong is turned into a goose.

What the plot says! With a little addition: Ariadne here is going to be the first one who's turned into a goose - right before her first day of work. This is going to be her less than stunning introduction to the supernatural world that is London, and she's going to be one pissed chick. hahaha get it i'm not funny

I'm thinking there'll be at least a couple other people turned into geese, and they can band together as birds of a feather? Find a cure for themselves? Peck the eyes out of this rude fae? Sign up here and we can figure something out!

And - if you're not big on your character turning into a goose, these birds will probably need a human to help them out at some point. That would be nice. o/

[falsify]

picks up all the geese and puts them in a pond

can Eames even help? Who knows. But he'll totally punch an annoying fae, he doesn't give a fuck.

PLOT #3 (trigger warning for child death!)

[vampiracy]

SO, I thought I'd get plotting started now, even though I'm planning on doing this plot a little later on in the month when my computer situation is a little steadier. Who wants to go on this horribly depressing journey with me?

Some ideas for how people could get involved:

HOSPITAL CONNECTION. Hook really doesn't go there often (smell of blood is still not good for even old vampires), but he might go to visit somebody he cares about. he's a sucker for children, and he could make the foolish choice to heal a child with his blood and pay for it severely. Alternatively, it could be someone that icly knows him and wants his help saving a kid. A neighbor, a friend, a family member... I'm very flexible!
WITNESS TO THE TURN. I am thinking that the poor baby is gonna go absolutely crazy and devour a few people when they turn. Someone who sees the damage, connects the dots, etc? Hook can also find the kid on his own, he'd keep an eye on it.
MAGICAL ASSISTANCE. He'd probably try and find some kind of magical way to help the little slugger with control after he's changed. I am thinking either a witch or a fae. Even if it's not icly possible, he'd ask anyway.
HUNTER INTERFERENCE. I'd think that a child vampire would be a little harder to reconcile with than an adult, so if there's a hunter that wants to deal with this, lemme know! I don't think Hook would be keen to let the kid die twice, but we can talk about it. Otherwise I have plans for him to find a foster vampire to take the boy on.
VAMPIRE INTERFERENCE. It is strongly against the rules for a kid to get turned, so Hook is not really going to reveal what is going on to any of his kind if he could help it. If they learned about it, well, they could probably get him to promise them a favor or something of the like to keep quiet about it...

I will take other ideas and thoughts, too, so please let me know if you have something in mind! Also, if you want to write something out with me or not. I know I need at least one thread involving the plot but I will try to do as many as I can.

[detectiveofthewest]

I can offer up either of my characters (Heiji or Faust) for Witness to the Turn or Magical Assistance! Though of course it's doubtful either of them could help come up with a way to keep a child vampire under control that would be both satisfactory and ethical 8(.

The Oak King

[detectiveofthewest]

So during the month of September, Heiji is going to get himself into some serious hot water with the Seelie Court, partly due to his squishier stance on the various human factions, but mostly because he'll be Making Great Decisions and mouthing off to his boss. He'll end up crashing on a few couches and avoiding/laying low from Faery so as to avoid trigger-happy fellow fae.

I'm mostly just arranging this as an ongoing condition that will show up in the background in interactions with other characters as the month wears on.

However, it could also be a good time to try and get some deets on the fae, what they're doing, and why, as Heiji's loyalty to his faction will be in conflict. Let me know if your character would be interested or if you have any other stuff you'd like to tackle, and we'll figure something out!

Grabbing Power

[emotioneater]

This is going to be the start of a long-term plot that will, hopefully, end with Millicent ending up dead and someone new in charge of the Islington Nest.

Cooper is going to be be advancing a level and he's going to notice something interesting as he does so. There's rumors flying about that a high-ranking NPC from the Nest has gone missing. He won't think too much of it until he advances another rank in a month or two and sees the same pattern happen again. Indeed, as the members of Islington keep advancing in rank, it's noticed that quite a few members have started to go missing. There's a pattern in that they were all vocal objectors to the way Millicent has been running things.

While that's all that will be occurring this particular month, I figure I'll lay the rest of it out here. Millicent has gone a bit insane and obsessive with power. She's quietly getting rid of anyone who objects to the way she runs things. This will be a good incentive for the Nest to want to get rid of her. Cooper, once he realizes the pattern, will be going to allies, and even Hillingdon, searching for a way to kill a vampire who is so old and powerful that she's in the four digits. If he's successful, there will then be an opportunity for a new vampire to take over.

I figure this is a good way to get at least half the game involved since getting rid of the Islington Nest head is going to have huge repercussions and send out a lot of ripples throughout the other factions. Any questions, comments, concerns, confirmations, complaints, lay them out here and we'll work them out!

Re: Grabbing Power

[veratrum]

My thoughts on this, since Liam is mostly involved for protecting what matters to him in all things, is that maybe if cooper mentions the first one in a 'huh, poor sucker', Liam might start snooping? Because he is a paranoid bastard. I think it'd be an interesting direction for their CR for Liam to be trying to warn cooper without actually warning cooper.

He'd also be a proponent of a young vampire leader for the clan, and will throw cooper under the bus suggest Cooper take it, if it comes to that.
