Hey guys! It's SL update time. Here's a breakdown of where we're at with everything:
I am going to take the next few days off from RP, so I won't be available to ST Sat, Sun or Mon. After that, I can make time to run some smaller, more narrative-driven scenes. Basically the deal for this upcoming week is that anything climactic is being put on hold so that we can further develop the plot points and characters that have already been introduced. (Feel free to continue letting your characters do their thing - if I need to slow things down I will toss up obstacles.) But a lot of this is optional. So basically, think of next week as that time between missions when you get to chat up the NPCs. You can explore, or you can just skip to the next part of the game.
(Though I will say that just because it's optional, that doesn't mean it won't have an effect on the coming events - because it definitely could.)
So here's how this is going to work. Anyone who wants to do a scene with any of the available NPCs, send me an fpm and let me know. For these scenes, I can take 1 or 2 players at a time - so nothing big. I assume that at the very least Jim and/or Shoshannah will want a scene with Leah, but there are lots of options here.
Now, I'm not saying that you should talk to all of these NPCs. I'm not even saying it's a good idea. But if you want to, the option is there. (Particularly if you feel like taking a bit of a risk in order to toss some conflict at your character, which can be fun in its own way.)
Obviously any scenes involving antagonist NPCs are going to come with a high risk warning, and in this case, the risk isn't only physical. We're getting to the point in the SL now where the potential for dark, depressing and/or traumatic subject matter is high. So again, if anyone has triggers they haven't told me about, let me know. And if you want to steer clear of possibly having your character's head messed with? Probably best not to sign up for Nephandi scenes. I definitely won't judge anyone one way or another.
- Leah has been secured and is being guarded outside the city.
- There is a cabal of at least 3 Nephandi in town. One of them is an Adept.
- Mara has information about a third story element that may introduce either assistance or complications (or both.)

- Leah (obviously)
- Annie
- Any of the 3 Nephandi (don't worry about logistics, I can make it happen.)
- Any of the 3 technocrats that Mara ran into (talk to her for details, but even without prior knowledge - again, I can make it happen.)
