June plot digest and setting interactions + this month: General intro post!
PLOT DIGEST AND SETTING INTERACTIONS POST
Plotting posts are here to
Please direct all questions, suggestions and anything else addressed to the mods to the toplevel titled "Talk to a mod" and not to the post in general.
The post is also open for players to plot and coordinate between one another.
General/OOC notes:
Events that are occurring currently:
Events (potentially) occurring in the future:
We will start gameplay with a few SoL events to let players get a feeling for the setting and to give characters time to figure out their new situation, though some pieces of plot will already be present (in form of NPCs, for example) and can be encountered if someone prods the right bits. The intervals at which those SoL events happen will depend on the general speed of the game.
Potential Plot Echo Opportunities
Plotting posts are here to
serve as monthly digests, to get everyone back up to speed with what is going on in the game by providing up-to-date information on plot and setting(this function will start next month)- provide a space to ask questions about interactions with the setting and plot
- offer a venue where players can plot with the mods so that together we can make Save Our Earth as interactive as possible. Plot that has not yet happened is malleable; if player characters interact with it, it may just steer in a different direction from what the mods expected.
- this month, please also use this post as a means of introducing yourselves, say hi to one another, and do last-minute relationship plotting.
Please direct all questions, suggestions and anything else addressed to the mods to the toplevel titled "Talk to a mod" and not to the post in general.
The post is also open for players to plot and coordinate between one another.
General/OOC notes:
- Please make sure that you have completed all steps detailed in the acceptance note, including making an info post, getting on the Taken list and the Player contact, and requesting membership in the two comms.
- (Quite obviously) there will be no AC this month. The first AC will be July AC, which will run through the end of July.
Events that are occurring currently:
- The game will open with a music-and-fireworks open-air event crowned by the rare sight of Northern Lights over Mossgate. This event will cause a plot echo in every Numbered present within the echo boundary at the time. Keep an eye out for the opening mingle, which will officially start gameplay!

- An artist over in France releases thousands of little yellow ducks into the Channel, choosing the location and time so as to make sure that most of them will be carried to England by currents and tides. A large portion of them end up in Mossgate, and media presence, clean-up, and anything else that follows from it causes some excitement.
- The menagerie at Moss Manor is having a situation as all the petting zoo animals have broken out, and player characters can be dragged into helping with fixing the situation. Hit us up if your character would be volunteering/working at this zoo or otherwise be already present when this happens!
- And all throughout that, preparations for Pride (scheduled for August) are intensifying. Most local companies and institutions are going to participate in one way or the other, so it is likely that characters will be involved through school, work, volunteering - Boots is preparing a make-up workshop for trans women, the local cinema will be showing LGBTQ+ films, the city museum is going to put up its yearly exhibit additions about queer history in Mossgate, and so on and so forth.
Potential Plot Echo Opportunities
- The Northern Lights over Mossgate.
Talk to a mod
Introductions ahoy!
a very, VERY obscure series of books.Walter's 27, trans (yes, he WILL be participating in Pride week... probably not by doing anything too showy, though, that's not his Reincarnation self's style. Volunteering IS on the table, however), and an Independent IT Contractor, so if anyone needs him around to be that sort of Helpful, he's available!
He'll definitely be at that opening mingle, not sure about the zoo.
Echo mechanic question!
and realizes he needs to be a lot faster to get his latest job done on time, for example)?no subject
I will be playing this little brat here, Lilo "Kitty" Singh, who originally was a cat shapeshifter and professional criminal and this life 'round is a 9 year old foster child. She likes wandering the town and visiting people, and doesn't spend nearly as much time at school as she should.
I'll also briefly be apping Channing, who used to be a fearsome aristocratic Victorian werewolf and got reincarnated as a Pomeranian named Chad who lives in a household that runs a pizza restaurant which actually is a mafia front, and Marja, a urban fantasy mage, who in this life works as a GP at a surgery in Mossgate, is married and with her wife has a few children.
Intro time!
For the events, he will probably not be much into the Pride stuff, though he'll likely get an interesting echo or two from it since his former self basically comes from a society where there is no static sexualities and so he's probably had sex with all sorts. I will probably toss him at the zoo to help out instead!

So no to a delayed trigger for physical regains, but that doesn't mean that it has to be immediate in its entirety and thus might not feel immediate to the person experiencing it.

I just have the image of Walter logging in+out... fifteen times in about five minutes, as he tries to figure out what his Number means/if it's a hallucination. Using all kinds of material. And then trying to figure out how secure the Network is once he's back on his computer.no subject
DoomfistProfessor Jacob Petty, who is a 6th Form Bio Teacher at Mossgate. He's here to be the awesome teacher you wish you had growing up, and/or remind you of the one you did have.Seeing as he's based on a couple of my own, dohohoho.Right now he's got a bad arm after a car accident
aka his Very First Echo, but he'll be echoing back full utility of it from the Northern Lights. Other than that, I don't have too much planned, other than a slowly dawning horror as he remembers more and more of his past life as, essentially, a supervillain. 8)I'm also finalizing a concept for Retsuko, who'll be a real estate agent in Mossgate and far more confident than her previous self. I just need to canon review and figure out her first echo.
no subject
Despite his lack of an extroverted personality, his great aunts will make sure he does not miss out on opportunities. He is very likely to be involved in all three events, especially the last to hang out with his aunts. As far as the menagerie goes, he’ll be best suited to assisting with any damage repair, not rounding up animals. The nerd is very helpful and loves to fix things....but not so good with animals.
Echo-wise, he has superhuman reflexes and will be regaining his first
clear memoryninja skill at the opening event.
