Plot digest for August/September and setting interactions for September/October

PLOT DIGEST AND SETTING INTERACTIONS POST

---

Plotting posts are here to

• serve as 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
  
• 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.

Please direct all questions, suggestions and anything else addressed to the mods to 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:

• We'll be experimenting with RNG-ing plot encounters. Please give us feedback on this approach!

Events that occurred recently:

• The Summer Fête took place. Rafe (fracturedbeauty), Chi (darkmagiciangirl) and Sadie (dragoonrouge) spoke to a little lady who sold Dormouse inspired items, and at least Sadie bought some of her goods. Chi, Jim (tobodlygo) and Kitty (runs) stole a cake from the contest while Nanny (grainneog) entered Chad (channingchanningchanning) into the pet contest. Rafe and Russell (spaghettimonster) were active at the theatre booth.
  
• Backdated to July 1st, Sam (scarsolderthanyou) and Walter (iamnotgod) publicly figured out the echo boundary.
  
• Jacob (brofistsforall) made it official that memories and other things are happening to the Numbered.
  
• Many characters went on guided tours of the tunnels. Jim found a fresh breeze in the tunnels. Sadie and Ben (warped_replica) found some very damp tunnels. [Potentially tbc.]
  
• Pride took place, and a mysterious cake appeared in the path of the parade. Various characters ate from it and got high.

Events (potentially) occurring in the immediate future:

• A bomb from the war is found during building works and the area has to be evacuated. People may be affected through their school, the shop they work at, their home, or whatever else being located in the evacuation zone. They may also be affected through volunteering to help with keeping people out of the area, evacuate seniors from a care home, host evacuees, help with the emergency shelters in school gyms, or other such efforts. They could also just be bystanders that get interviewed or whatever else, really. Hit us up if you have an idea and want to doublecheck it, but also just feel free to go ahead with whatever you can come up with!
  
  During this event, characters may have an interesting encounter. It's not dangerous and accessible to all ages and abilities, the only requirement is that they can be on the High Street after dark. If you are interested, please sign up here; if there are more than two people interested, we'll RNG the results. You can also sign up as a group!
  
  
• The controlled detonation from the bomb damaged the roof of the town museum, and a fundraiser is started to foot the repairs. The museum also uses this fundraiser as a chance for general outreach and puts out the word that really, almost anyone can volunteer there and work as a guide or ticket seller or... don't you want to volunteer?
  
  
• Summer is finally ending, the temperatures are dropping into the tens and there are sensible amounts of rain again though it isn't properly sunny yet. The sea is growing stormier.
  
  
• Pinewood Studios is looking for extras for some seafront scenes of a 19th century drama they're going to film in front of the white cliffs. They've put out a casting call and will be casting locals throughout October.

General plotting for Kitty and Chad

[runs]

Bomb: Chad's house will be in the evacuation zone during the bomb threat. At least some of his Family will be needing a place, so if anyone is interested in hosting or bunking down next to a rather colourful family of three adults, a gaggle of children and one dog, let's plot! Kitty's family will be accepting displaced people as they have a few free beds right now, and she's probably going to feel crowded by strangers and spend much time hitting up her usual hang-outs so Sky, Ben, and Nanny can look forward to lots of visits if they aren't evacuated themselves.

Fundraiser: Kitty will be trying to make them train her into a museum guide and be very unimpressed that they tell her that she's too young, but wouldn't she like to participate in the children's program... She's still going to be out and about trying to raise money on the High Street.

[warped_replica]

I will definitely be tagging Kitty here shortly. Thank you for including Ben.

[runs]

I feel like they might have gotten closer since Ben let her in on his project back after the northern lights? Not terribly much closer maybe, but spent more time together than before?

[warped_replica]

Oh for sure! Ben will probably give the drone to Kitty as soon as she has mastered flying it. Could happen in the mingle thread.

[channingchanningchanning]

that sounds like an excellent idea!

what have you wrought, Ben

[warped_replica]

Shenanigans.

Re: General plotting for Kitty and Chad

[iamnotgod]

I know Walter's getting roped into the Dog In The House thing, but aside from that... Kitty's likely going to have options to bug Walter as well.

They can also run across each other while fundraising. =P

[runs]

Anything specific that you'd like to do with Walter and Kitty?

[iamnotgod]

She can try and rope him into the "Why can't I be a museum guide?" discussion? Such as how that's going... XD

Alternatively, he can cross paths with her foster family during the moving ruckus.

[channingchanningchanning]

Hm, would he be helping to relocate people? He could help carry stuff for someone who is housed in the foster family's place.

And lmao what a good discussion to rope him into <.

[iamnotgod]

Yeah, he's helping for that. :> I can make a toplevel for that log, or tag one of yours?

XD Exactly.

[channingchanningchanning]

The first prompt here should work!
