December Plotting Post

[prince_of_nymphs]

 As mentioned in slack, the plot for December is going to be something new! Every pup (who wishes to play) will be transported to an important event in their life. It can be from their past, or their future, whatever you think will be the most rewarding to play with. There they will be forced to live through the event before being hauled back to the mainland.

Sometime during the last week of November a gathering post will go up, from there each top level will be your pup and their event. Multiple players can then tag that event/TL, allowing it to play out several different ways. While this is happening our pups will have no idea that multiple versions of events are playing out, but after the plot is over, they will remember all of them.

The optimal execution of this event involves many threads and multiple people tagging the top level events, this will take quite some time. For that reason it will run from November 24th until sometime in early January. Hopefully such a wide time-frame will make it possible for us all to take on multiple threads with multiple players.

This post can be used to lay out what you intend to do with your pup, to plot with other players, or even ask for advice if you're not sure what event you'd like to drag your pup through!

Okay, I'm going to post my plotty stuff one pup at a time. I'll start with Fin since that's who I'm logged in as.

I have two very different ideas for Fin, and I genuinely don't know which to do. The first is to throw him into a fae battle in his future, preying on his fears of returning to the real world now that he knows how the other Fin died. He and whoever tags in would have to fight and then escape the other side to get back to London. I like this idea because it leaves a lot of options open for different ways it can play out.

The other would be to send him back to before he had his fae powers, back to his lowest point in London. This appeals because Fin is slowly coming to terms with the fact that he suffers from depression, and taking him back to a time when he was contemplating ending it all could be eye-opening for him now. That said, I don't know how exciting that would be.

What do you guys think?

FAERIE WAR

[winter_wisp]

For Winter I'm thinking he'll find himself back in his cage at Aspid's home, and whoever tags in will be shrunk down to pixie size and trapped with him! Winter has changed a lot since those days and would be ready to fight to free himself. I feel like this might be a good prison break type plot. :D

Q will find himself smack dab in the centre of spy stuff. I'm already working on a scenario where he finds himself in the field and maybe even has to face the possibility of dying for his work (something he's far less keen on than Bond). Anyone who tags in will be dragged into the chaos, and maybe even discussions of when one should or shouldn't put their life on the line for what's 'right'.

Prometheus gets to go all the way back to the days before he found himself pecked by birds. Anyone who goes along will get to see Olympus and lovely godly politics in play. I'm excited for this because I think being taken back will bring out a Prometheus no one has seen before, but also provoke a lot of anger from the titan. I might even let him see what would happen if he hadn't crossed Zeus again (and again). Also yay, plenty of debauchery and pretty clothes.

I'm tempted to throw Shannon at this one for the ability to think "felix would love to see this" and the pretty clothes. Lol

Would you like a pretty blond with a politically inclined family who doesn't care for politics?

[pecked_by_birds]

Totally. :D That could be fun.

This is tough because Felix never experienced any of his 4 books' worth of canon, so there is a LOT to choose from.

The most significant experience of Felix's life would be learning he has a half-brother, Mildmay. While I would love to do this, unless the accompanying PC is very close to Felix, it wouldn't be terribly exciting for the other person.

However... in canon, Felix isn't in his right mind when that happens, and Mildmay almost immediately takes him on a daring escape, so there's that? Everything else I can think of is either really dark, or I've done it before in this game, so this is all I've got!

I can't decide who I'd tag into this, but I'm super excited to read all the threads that come from it. :D
