october 20 - november 2 / 'seven' scenes

[kai]

Oh, Kenna. Before I even got to the end of your post where you said you hoped it wasn't obnoxious, I was already going to just respond and say:

[Damon]

Okay Kenna's idea was way better. I'm just gonna list my open(ish) days though:

Oct 13 - whenever til 8pm
Oct 15 - might be around ~6pm - 12amish
Oct 25 - after ~6pm til whenever
Oct 26 - whenever til whenever
Oct 27 - whenever til 10pm

Oct 28th onward is uncertain for now! But at least weekends should be free-ish.

Finally getting to this. Sorry, I spent half a week sleeping and am still catching up to all the things.

Thomas is most interested in disrupting that ritual (who wouldn't be after meeting Jeremiah). He's happy to help interrogate the artifact and he's willing to go fight horrible monsters under Cold Crescent since fighting horrible monsters is a thing he has to do for Thunder and Gaia and all that.

I'm free and available mostly Friday night - Sunday. Friday 18th I am running a scene (and therefore out). I may be repeatedly distracted on the 19th because people will likely decide it's a day to call me, but I should be around. I could probably do a Tuesday night, but my class schedule makes other nights pretty difficult or impossible.

Figured I'd update this with something a little more concrete:

Weekdays I'm available up to 4pm but am at work so would be MTing.

Weekdays after I get off work the earliest I can be available is about 4:30pm.

Friday night 10/18 I'm already scheduled for Ix's scene.

Saturday 10/19 I will be available until about 6pm.

Sunday 10/20 completely available any time after I wake up until about 10pm.

Monday 10/21 starts the work week availability again.

Discussion with the Warder
Liz, Sam, Niko
This is in the calendar for tonight. BOOM.
Completed! 10/14


Investigation of the Architect
Kenna, CC, Umbralwind
It will be really hard to do what I have in mind for this on emails or forums, and I don't have daytime availability... and CC doesn't really have evening or weekend availability. What I'd like to do is maybe split this into two prongs: some FPM/dice-heavy work with Reese that is going to be focused on preliminary investigation/hacking/discovery of TERRIBLE SECRETS, leading into the scene with Lola + Milton (or whomever is available when Kenna and I can match up). I think it's the best way to get the scene I'm going for without characters being excluded due to silly things like players having lives and new houses. And if all that works, a) CC I will get started right away and b) Kenna, I think Friday the 18th, sometime after 7 PM?
Completed! 10/18


Investigate the apartment
Sam
Won't lie: gonna build this around Keisha. Sam and I will grab some time. Others that Keisha/Sam would bring along are welcome, up to 3 (for a total of 4 players). Probably not this week (I'm unavailable T/W/Th and STing on Friday, Sam is out on Saturday nights). Maaaybe Sunday sometime, but I won't set it in stone yet.


Figure out how the Beloved Horror is so powerful / Disrupt their power
Jamie, Jess, Ix, Niko, Sam, CC
This is just the list of people who have expressed interest in this general area of the SL. It's less ST'd scene work, in a lot of ways, and I think it's a great excuse for some members of Celduin and some members of the Desert Oracles to just get together and like, jam, man. Possibly with Thomas who I'm surprised hasn't been officially snatched up yet but whatever. What I'd like from you guys (Jamie and Niko in particular, since they play the Alphas of these packs) is to have... well, basically a spiritmoot. The other things listed all sort of flow into each other and should happen semi-in-order, but this is more of an ongoing player-driving gig.

Whether you guys do this OOC or in a scene or in the forums or whatever works for you, I want to know what your characters a) specifically want to know, b) the ways they're going to try and discover it. Doesn't need to be elaborate, but try to be realistic about how many bases they could reasonably attempt to cover in a limited time span. Let me know the gist/sketch of their plans and I will give you rolls to make and feed you information. Let's do this in the forums so that no one has to remember who all needs to be included on an FPM or email; if information needs to be SEKRIT I'll just FPM it.


The Lower Levels

Most likely October 25th.


All of these are on the calendar. Tentative dates/times are marked as such.

[Kenna]

Gary Oldman you madman. I can't stop staring at that .gif.

I can TOTALLY make Friday the 18th at/after 7pm Site Time work.
Look! I'm putting it in my iPhone calendar RIGHT NOW so I can't flake on it.

[errin]

We are actually having a jam session right this minute! And I was going to make a loose list of our general plans for you (and others) to check out in the forums in case anyone wanted to tag along to any area of the investigation. Get out of our heads, Kai! (*leaves door to head unlocked, sets out tray of milk and cookies whiskey and vanilla bean cheesecake*)

It's looking a lot like where they go from here depends on what is or isn't found out from the Warder. But since that's going down tonight it won't be long before we have some kind of solidified plan of attack.

[errin]

Okay, so, considering what Javed, Phoebe, Eva, and Avery learned tonight, here is the Oracles' plan of attack regarding the BSD ritual:

Want to talk to:

• Kelly - might know something about what was done to Champion of Honor before he was rescued
  
• Cindy (BSD kinswoman) - Hector and Keisha's idea (would like to get Sam in on this instead of Phoebe)
  
• Richard York - has access to furreal blueprints of Cold Crescent building
  

Want to summon (with Hector/Celduin) In order of importance:

• Uktena - Might offer guidance regarding ritual
  
• Bat - Might offer guidance regarding ritual, might be entreated to investigate DIA
  
• Death - Sophia's call
  

And even though it's already in it's own section:
Keisha would like to investigate the apartment.

Someone please let me know if I left out an angle that was discussed, a lot of ideas were thrown out, and there will probably be more once Desert Oracle confers again, and Javed has time to come up with other ideas.

[Umbralwind]

I am great for logging Milton in on Friday the 18th! Uhm... Yeah! All free!

Also, yeah, if there is a big get-together of the Desert Oracles then I would like Sophia to be there!

You cool with some more behind-the-scenes work with Reese before the 18th? Just want to confirm before I start demanding dice rolls of you.

Phbbt, forgot you're internetless for now. Sorry! I will try to find a way to loop Reese in if I can later on. :[
