Plot Information: 12/12/12 NORMPOCALYPSE NOW!

At 12:12am on 12/12/12 (That's shortly after midnight, going into Wednesday), Siren's Port is about to be struck by a disaster it is completely unprepared for.

All superpowers and special abilities will abruptly and without warning disappear, citywide, no exceptions. (If you have any questions about how this will work for your character, please ask here, otherwise use your best "powered-down" discretion.) Everyone, everywhere, will get to have a day of numbing normalcy.

Of course, as popular as the new hit tabletop roleplaying game "Nulls & Norms" has been this year, Siren's Port is completely unprepared to deal with an unpowered city. The people of Siren's Port have long prided themselves on being an eclectic bunch of supernatural diversity. Everyday, people rely on their special abilities as a source of income, as a habitual defense mechanism, as a way of life. Mass panic and hysteria is sure to ensue as the public finds itself suddenly "powerless".

Many will instinctively blame The Core, the source of usual haywire- though it's never quite betrayed the unusual citizens of Siren's Port this badly. A noonday march on the Sector 4 Baseball Diamond will break out the SPPD and AGI/SERO Special Unit Forces in full riot gear and tear gas, street violence getting ugly to break up the crowd and defend entry to the core.

So in addition to the riots and doomsayers in the streets, and special abilities sputtering out of their usefulness, you have these following normpocalyptic inconveniences to look forward to shortly:

All electric power grids in the city will be down from 12:12am until 10pm. Limited generator power will be available at City Hospitals, City Hall, and most commercial buildings in Sectors 1 & 2.

All running tap water will run dirty from Darkness pollutants in the morning, and continue to be untreated throughout the day. (Meaning, expect salty sea water from all faucets, sinks and showerheads!) Clean water will return on the morning of the 13th.

Public Transportation (City Buses & The Subway) are down for the count from 12:12am until 10pm. Traffic Lights are also out, so getting anywhere by car may prove hazardous.

The Underground Mall will run on a limited emergency generator until morning sirens on the 12th, then shut down for the remainder of the day and following evening.

Residential and Commercial darkness proofing which relies on additional powered shielding may fail.

The NetVice Newcomer Network will be up and running, under a few limitations:
- Open Network Text & Audio functions only. Holograms & Video are down.
- Private Contact Box messages will not be received until 9pm.
- Electronic NVs which haven't been recently charged may run out of battery power.

Hunker down and prepare for the worst!

Any questions or additional plotting talk can go below!

Plot reminder!

Hello everyone! Just a quite note that the plot I'm running will be starting in a week. There's still plenty of time to get in on it if you feel like, and all the details are here. This is a long running plot, so feel free to come into it after it's already started, also.

I hope everyone enjoys it. :3

Plotting stuff for Halloween!

So, like Raul said in his last post on the network, there will be a Newcomer Political Party sponsored masquerade this coming Saturday, October 27th. After some intense debate and discussions, this ball will definitely be a Halloween costume party; catch is you need to have some kind of mask on. Pretty simple, right? The party will start at 7:00pm on Saturday, at the Newcomer Community Center, which will be dressed for the occasion, and it will go on for as long as you want. Aka, until morning siren, which is when last calls will be.

We're currently looking for a few things, though! If anyplace wants to cater this event, we'd love to have a newcomer place for that. We could also use anyone who might want to help decorate the place? If anyone feels up to playing bartender, or several bartenders. I know we have Sephiroth for security, so if your character wants to help with security, check with the mun on that.

Any comments, questions, or concerns? Let me know! I've got a sign up sheet right here:

Catering:
Security: Sephiroth, Deadpool, Scathach
Music: Dave Strider
Bartender(s):
Decorations: Larry Butz, Ino Yamanaka

If your character wants to help with any part of that, please let me know! And this post can also be used for plotting with costumes, things that might take place, whatever it is you might want to do during this dance! All that we ask is that any damage take place near the end of the dance, not during it. And in that regard, there might be a surprise at the end of the night. We shall see. But, here is an easy sheet for costume stuff:

This is going to be fun, guys!

NEWCOMER HUNT WHIPLASH PLOT UPDATE/WRAP-UP

Hey, guys; it's RW again! Just popping in to say the Newcomer Hunt Whiplash Plot is very nearly over! There's just one more victim to go, and Dani Baptiste will be the one to silence the monster as well as its reign of terror.

But first, a RECAP:

( Plot Timeline Goes Here )

I may have missed a few things along the way, but these are the highlights I've managed to track down! If you'd like something added, just let me know. Which brings me to...

A Few Points of Interest Regarding the AFTERMATH:

- Tomorrow, as I said, will be the last day of the plot! Dani Baptiste will be attacked and manage to kill off the Heartless. She will then encounter Xigbar, in his black coat and hood, which will result in a bit of a nasty scuffle between the two. A post from Dani will be forthcoming after the fact.

- Heartless are multiplying in the Port. The population has been self-sustaining for a while now, but they'll be showing themselves more often now. If you'd like an encounter with any of these, let me know! Just remember, Heartless can only be harmed by magic of some kind. Purely physical attacks and regular weapons do not affect them.

- For you investigator types. If your character has been investigating AGI and keeping up with the newsfeeds, if you'd like to have them note the connection between the Heartless symbol and Xino E. Mao's insignia, let me know here!

- At some point, I fully expect Xigbar to be implicated in these attacks. Since there's no actual proof that he made the creature, however, he's unlikely to own it unless it suits his purposes. If you'd like CR with him or otherwise try to call him out for his terribleness, hit me up!

AND I THINK THAT'S IT. As always, feel free to ping me with any questions you might have.

Thanks for making this AMAZING, you guys. It's been awesome!!!

NEWCOMER HUNT WHIPLASH PLOT UPDATE

THE LOG IS UP!

I've made threads for the three different categories: AGI's Naughty List, Investigators, and Random Encounters. Please check in on this plotting post if you want your character to be an Investigator or have a Random Encounter.

Random Encounters will span the length of the plot, and Investigators can begin tracking the creature after October 18th.

Dani Baptiste is slated for the Takedown, since she's going to be the last one attacked.

If you have any further questions, feel free to hit me up here or on AIM (ReadingWhiz89)!

So I heard you like Eldritch abominations...

So I'll be bringing you some. Sort of. The SPN version anyway.

This is a plotting post! This event won't be starting until late November (yes, I know, great timing with finals and all) but it is totally opt-in and will be spread out a bit, and threads can be back/forward dated easily enough, so NEVER FEAR.

Massive tl;dr worth of plot details are as follows:

NEWCOMER HUNT WHIPLASH PLOT UPDATE

Hey there, everyone. It's RW, checking in with some shiny new details regarding the Newcomer Hunt Whiplash Plot!

The plot will begin on Tuesday, October 9th, and it will run until Thursday, October 25th. I will be tossing up an open log for this event and threading out any encounters people might want to have to with nasty critter Xigbar's unleashing. There will be a thread for random encounters so anyone who has a tendency to roam around Siren's Port after evening sirens will be able to run into the creature as well. I will also have a thread open for investigators in case anyone wants to try and catch the thing.

If you do planned on tagging into either the random encounters/investigator threads, I ask that you fill out the following form so I have a general idea of how you'd like it go:

And now, for our participants thus far!

AGI's Naughty List
- Mary Winchester (October 21st)
- Bruce Banner (October 15th)
- Ino Yamanaka (October 11th)
- Aurican (October 13th)
- Gilbert Nightray (October 17th)
- Nill (October 18th)
- Seras Victoria (October 24th)
- Dani Baptiste (October 25th)
- Castiel (October 9th)
- Loki (October 22nd)
- Alice Cullen (October 12th)

Those of you who signed up in the last post, please check in here and let me know which day you'd like your character to get attacked. The only thing I ask is that you NOT sign up for a day someone else has already chosen.

Random Encounters
-
-
-

Investigators
- Lisbeth Salander

Check out the threads below for a bit more info on sign-ups and general plotting.

And now for something totally unrelated to sign-ups...

Since Xigbar will be targeting NPCs as well as PCs, at some point during the plot, there's going to be a few nasty consequences in response to AGI's little vendetta. More on this will be coming later, but in the meantime...happy hunting! ;)

Rule 63 event info post!

Hi guys, you probably saw something about a rule 63 event on the game calendar- here are some actual details, because I rule at organizing.

Prue Halliwell is casting a spell that will go absolutely haywire and accidentally impact the whole city. What she means is to experiment with a glamouring spell.

What will happen is city-wide genderbending. Enjoy waking up as the opposite sex, guys!

To clarify: this is an optional Rule 63 event impacting anyone in the city, human or non, great and small, lasting for one week from 12:01 am on 10/01 to 12:01 am 10/08, Monday to Monday. It's only a physical change, not a mental one, because SHENANIGANS. The event will end when Prue figures out how to reverse the spell.

If your character is super strong or traditionally immune to magic but you still want to participate, never fear! Magics from different words can do such strange things, you know. :)

BTW if your character can sense that sort of thing, feel free to realize that this is witchcraft or caused by magic. I'm cool with angry mobs.

NEWCOMER HUNT WHIPLASH PLOT

Hey there, everyone! It’s RW again, this time with a plot that may hit a little bit closer to home than hostile kitchen appliances.

As some of you may recall, two Newcomer Hunts took place at Spencer’s Hunting Grounds before a group of self-styled vigilantes invaded the grounds, torn them up, and sent Spencer off to the hospital. Well, now it’s payback time, and Xigbar’s going to be the one to do it.

( time to pay the piper )

more on the Siren's Port City Slamfest

OKAY GUYS so this is the current (hilariously inept looking I am not good graph) line-up for how the tournament is likely to play out.

( another one bites the dust )

I tried to base it around who was most likely to actually win their fights, but there’s always room for mixing things up and switching people around, especially in terms of NPCs- who, incidentally, all have short descriptions right over here. If you’d rather have a different NPC, just let me know so I can jiggle things around. This is also where I’d like to know if you want to play out or hand-wave your NPC fight! Since I’m likely to be the one doing it, I’d really appreciate a heads up before we get started. Go ahead and use this post to plan out how you want your fights to go between yourselves!

Just as a reminder, the log for the tournament itself will go up on or a little earlier than the 27th and will be set from the 27th to the 29th, with each 'stage' set on a different day. As always, we'd love to see friends, family and spectators come and watch!

On a fluffier note! This is going to go up on the news feed at some point over the next few days as a televised draw where the first round of fights are publically announced. I’ll be writing up an article/ short description of the proceedings for it, and I’d love it if anyone wanted to pitch in interview quotes or Things That Happened on the show- for example, if you want your character to be miraculously voted Most Popular With Male Fans or accidentally get into a slanging match with another competitor. This isn’t compulsory at all, and also feel free to be as serious or silly as you want. ♥

TECHNOMANCY MAYHEM PLOT

Hello, all! This is RW-mod, bringing you a bit a plot to spice up your characters’ lives some this week. The Body-Swap Plot wrapped up nicely a few weeks ago, but as you all know, the Port isn’t lacking in colorful characters.

Thus, I bring to you...iMax.

I bring you plot things, old people and new people alike!

Hey everyone, Amy here! Player of Raul Creed from Ergo Proxy, Doctor Kenzo Tenma from Monster, Tim Drake from DC Comics, and Mr. Gold from Once Upon A Time. First I wanted to say hello to all the new people! I'm always up for plotting something, and I've got characters on different ends of the spectrum, so if you ever want to do something with medical things, politics, the black market of the port, or a group of teenage superheroes, please let me know, I'd love to do something with you and your characters. Raul here is head of the Newcomer Political Party, so he's always on the lookout for people who could help with that, and Tim is running the Teen Titans, so anyone who's kid/teenager and wants to help out? A lot of helping out with different things, Mr. Gold is creating a villain network of some kind, so he could use more bad guys to recruit for that.

Onto the plot! After not doing much of anything for the past month, I bring you some hopefully interesting plot. And by interesting I mean could be hysterical for some people, or make a lot more really, really mad. The deal is this:

( Crazy Siren's Port plot for this coming Sunday, September 9th! )

And that's it! If anyone has any questions, I can answer them here, and if you guys want to plot anything out, you can do so here as well. Just remember, this isn't something that will hurt your character, but it'll definitely be scary for a little bit when they first realize what's going on. The log will go up on Sunday, and we'll figure out which sector Raul will happen upon your character, and if you want it to be on the street or inside a building. Can't wait for this to happen, I hope everyone has fun with it!

-Amy

Siren's Port City Slamfest is go!

SO. Given that we’ve got a few newcomer entrants in the tournament, I thought it would be a good idea to get the details sorted out in a little plot post. Only one character can actually win, after all, and I figured we should hash this all out before we get started on any actual logging.

The tournament itself will be composed of eight quarter-finalists. If you haven’t already told me you want in but would like to take part, please let me know before Friday! I need to know how many NPCs to come up with for the tournament. Currently signed up are:

Warsman
Claire Stanfield
Bolin (tentative?)
KOS-MOS
( get srs!! )

On another note! Anyone at all is free to come and watch the fights! The qualifiers will be aired on TV on the following Wednesday and the tournament will be aired live, but tickets to see all fights in person are also available. Please do turn up and say hi! ♥

SO WHO WANTS TO GET SHITKICKED BY AN ANGEL?

Anna is on her way out, because I've ... just played her too long here. I've canon updated her three times, and now that she's basically at the end of her run, I'd kind of like to have her go out with a mini-bang. And I know most of you love getting your characters beat up. It's like crack for you silly things.

So here's an angel, just this side of fucking cray, and she's gonna go on a bit of a shitfest in the next week or so. She's gonna go full villain, and probably try and wipe out a few select people before she goes. That said, she's also going to be avoiding the fuck out of certain other people. Namely, her older brothers. Nasty archangels. Michael and Lucifer especially.

She can do just about any type of damage, from physical, to mental, to physically mental. Meaning she could feasibly burn your mind until your a dribbling potato. Unlikely that she'd try, since that's a lot of mojo usage, but still. She's going to be very, very touchy. Any sort of threat or sense that she's being cornered, lied to or tricked, will set her off.

I'm gonna have a sign up of 5 people that I'll be able to rp things out with (not including the end-game), but feel free to leave mention here if you'd like to handwave her doing something!

Fame: who wants to live forever?

THIS IS THE PLOT OF A KILLER, BELLA. B|

Welcome to the Fame mini-plot, children. It all starts with one man and ten thousand ~~bottles of vodka~~ visions.

You see, the Core going cattywompus turned Chuck's prophetic dreams backwards. He started seeing the past- of people in the Port.

What does this mean for you? Why, it means you get to be famous, my friends. You see, Chuck tends to write his visions and sell them as novels. The book he's writing now is called Darkness People and will be a book of short stories about Newcomers.

If you sign up for this, Chuck will have had a vision about a snippet of their lives here in Siren's Port, and write a short story about it. It doesn't have to be something recent- it could be from years back, or only a few months, so long as it's interesting or poignant enough to merit being included. The whole point of Chuck writing the book is that he wants to humanize the Newcomer image to the general public, so I'd like the stories to stick to kind of universal things- moments and vignettes the natives could at least partially relate to.

The list of available slots is under the cut, as well as more information for anyone interested in being involved!

Goonies Plot

With summer rolling onwards I'm bringing a plot specifically aimed at the younger members of the Port, an adventure to explore the myth of Crow's Head beach inspired by the classic Goonies movie.

Here's the rundown for you and yours to participate!

In the next few days Rue will spot a seeming thief and be compelled to investigate them (she's Teen Titan after all!), tracking the thief to the cave at Crow's Head Beach. After learning of the urban legend of the cave Rue will come to the conclusion that this must be the Crow-man, and the thief should be apprehended.

Obviously this task can only be accomplished by a group of plucky youngsters.

This team of kids will venture into the Crow-man's cave and have to find their way through natural dangers, traps, puzzles and face the Crow-man himself as well human enemies.

( The details of character participation! )

Depending on the number of participants I receive for the plot characters may be split into groups, there will be another plot post shortly before the log goes up on Aug 5th to confirm the details. Please comment here if you do intend to join in so I can get an idea of how big a group it will be.

BUT WAIT. Don't play a youngster and still want to be part of this?

( NPC volunteers needed! )

If you have any questions please leave a comment and I'll do my best to answer <3

Newcomer Hunt Round 2 Sign Ups

Hey guys, here are the Newcomer Hunt Round 2 Sign-ups! In the interest of fairness, and letting new faces and players in all timezones have a fair shot at playing, we're going to be running signups a little differently this time, so please read carefully!

If you have a character that either participated in the last hunt, or in the Freaky Friday event, you may sign up to participate as a NPC Hunter only. You must pass July's Activity Check to Participate.

Sign-up Comments will be screened, (Questions will be unscreened and answered) and sign ups will be OPEN till Midnight PST on Thursday, July 26th. If additional slots are still free, we may open these to people who have participated before.

There will be 12 spots for The Hunted and 6 spots for NPC'd Hunters. you may sign up for (1) Hunted Character and (1) Hunter. We'll be drawing the Hunted pool first, using a random number generator.

Selected Characters & Hunters will be announced on the Plotting Meme, which will go up Friday.

The hunt is scheduled for Monday, July 30th. A closed log will be put up for the hunt.

Freaky Friday Event & Bounty Hunting Update

Good evening, SP! RW-mod here, bringing you a couple updates!

- As stated in the original plot post, the Freaky Friday Event begins...today! Or the morning of July 18th, rather, so be on the lookout for the kick-off of some whacky shenanigans!

I'd also like to announce that, starting with the Second Newcomer Hunt (which is slated to happen at the end of this month), we will be changing the way we do sign-ups for plots with limited space. Due to player concerns about the limited time frame during which sign-ups occur, we will be changing over to a randomized system. Sign-ups will be open to everyone for a certain period of time (likely a day or so, perhaps more), and after they close, participants will be chosen at random with something like RNG. The reason for this is we want to open up these "slot plots" to as much as the player base as possible and try to be fair to those who operate on a timezone outside the US.

Also, out of consideration for this very issue, I may either extend the plot itself or add a few slots, depending on how things go. If not, rest assured that there will be another Freaky Friday-esque event in the future, so anyone who didn't get to participate this time around will have the chance to at a later date.

- On another note, I'm happy to announce that the Bounty Hunting Page is now up-to-date! I've also tweaked Deathstroke's IC Contact Page so things should be a little clearer on that front as well.

In addition, since the NPC "mugshots" on the bounty hunting page are a little sparse at the moment, I would like to encourage everyone to submit NPC bounties if you have the time or inclination! The form for submissions is here; if you need an example to look at, the mugshots already up on the bounty hunting page are a good frame of reference. Also, if your character is a bounty hunter, please do make a note of it!

- ...and that'll be all she wrote.
