[PLAYER PLOT] Assist Void Refugees: Evacuate the Coasts

[uptowngirl]

Greetings Drabwurld...ians? I'm coming to you seeking some assistance!

Asami has a ★★★ quest this month (ala our favorite wolfman John Grimm) and she needs a few (or many) good fellows to help her out with it. As we all know (and some love) the Void is looming and encroaching on the coasts, which threatens the local villages that live nearby. She's accepted the responsibility and opportunity to help organize the evacuation of several settlements along Northern and Southern Leanna. (Convenient link to the big map if you're wondering where it is--South Western side of the continent, east of the Greenwood and south of the Troichean Benn and Loch Caoidh.)

This is clearly not a one woman effort! She needs to pull on the resources and connections she has now as well as make new ones for the following...

☚☚☚ It's so pretty! Save it!

★ Escorts for refugees (paid mercenaries are acceptable, although Asami isn't loaded)
★ Anyone with available transportation for groups of people
★ Funding/supplies for the movements of peoples
★ Anyone familiar with the lands to the south who could help navigate it
★ Anyone in a higher position politically/militarily to help offer any of the above, if they're not too busy with the giant dwarven monsters.

This quest is going to take up most of the month of September for her (and realistically the ends will likely bleed into the beginning of October, but for the sake of plotting, September). However I don't expect all characters to give up that same amount of time. I'm planning on it taking place from September 7th through September 29/30th, so if your character would have interest and a few days during that time frame, please feel free to take part!

Since some of the planning will depend on who she can get to help, I have a loose timeline in mind for how events may transpire...

★ 07~10: Making her way from the Station to the Citadel to Caer Glaem to talk to anyone there who might help. (She's borrowing the flying bison, which makes traveling for her a lot easier for this.) POTENTIALLY A LOCKET POST for anyone she may not see in person.
★ 11~15ish: Hit up Northern Leanna, talk, organize, talk to local NPC lords, etc.
★ 16~20ish: Start the evacuation of several towns
★ 21~25ish: Hit up Southern Leanna, talk, organize, talk to local NPC lords, etc.
★ 26~30ish: Start the evacuation of several towns

She obviously can't be in all places (and definitely not all towns) at once, which is why she needs people to help with the actual movement of refugees. The end goal would be to get them closer to the mountains and eventually move them, or get them headed safely towards Parrais, or that area. I am also VERY OPEN to new input and ideas on where you think would be best for them to head.

Given that it's for the better of the world and because of her own reservations, Seelie, Shardless, and even Unseelie participants would be welcome. The latter she would be more cautious of because of court alliances and the upcoming battle, but if it's someone who a.) somehow on that side of the world at the time and b.) is trustworthy, she would be okay with it. If your character wants/requires something in return for their assistance...we can work it out! She'll try to reward anyone she can, if it's within her ability to do so.

If you are interested, please comment! Character, court, and what you think they can help with would be phenomenal. Also, if you have any ideas overall, I would love to hear them.

This is the first thing I've tried to organize and I'm super stoked for Asami to get this opportunity. The Void is a scary thing, ok. If you have any specific questions and don't feel like asking here, feel free to PP this journal or hit me up on plurk at doggystyle. I appreciate the help in advance!

Operation Leathann Lift-Off is currently scheduled during the period Asami would be gathering assistance, so assuming it's successful (Gil won't be in much of a mood to help otherwise) I can have Gil lend his strength to the relief effort.

Gilgamesh is Shardless, and as such can reach across Court boundaries. He's immensely powerful, super fast and super durable, and can do a great deal of any heavy lifting that's required. He can also arrange for some funds on his end to aid the evacuees and potentially provide airship support; this is tentative, as I'd have to talk to some other players about this first.

Again, all very dependent on what goes down in Leathann, but tl;dr if the venture succeeds, Gil will throw his weight behind this next.

[uptowngirl]

You know how much I would appreciate it, as would Asami! Just let me know what happens with Leathann (ROOTING FOR YOU) and she would be so very glad to have his assistance, even if she was unsure with him in the beginning. (Funny how things start to change, right?)

SAVE ALL THE PEOPLE, GIL!

I don't think she knows he's lost his shard, either.

[vengeance_driven]

Niko's going to be doing a quest for Kirei to help out the youngin's he carted in before. Would you want to help each other out with mutual quests?

[uptowngirl]

Yeah, that would work out well! Saving people from impending doom seems to be the theme of the month, doesn't it? Is there any particular place he's going to be working from?

[vengeance_driven]

He's taking up be a good person, okay from this quest board, and I gotta find the map of where Kirei's orphange is, but I was going to have him go raiding for supplies/food/etc as part of it. In the process they can help each other out?

[dicktionary]

Dick would volunteer since he'd be up to helping and he knows Asami is close to Korra! THAT SAID!! he maaay also end up in the middle of a battle and idk how OOCly free I'm going to be since beginning of school... but at the VERY LEAST he'd be up for helping her organize things!

[uptowngirl]

She would appreciate any help she can get! He's also the one who went on that pirate quest with Hercules, right?

[dicktionary]

Yep!

[undeterrable]

Asami has Terra's axe help if she requires it and, like I said, this would be a good opportunity for me to incorporate his own quest into things b/c orphans. Mer's participation depends on what happens with Leathann of course

[uptowngirl]

Ahhh, yes! She would love to have either and both of them if it works out. Is there any particular area that Terra is working on his quest? Or would Leanna count for it?

[uptowngirl]

I'm putting the log together and I just wanted to confirm what part of the journey Terra will be along for? Northern, Southern, or both?

PATS YOUR HEAD

[undeterrable]

I can work him into both! he has a chocobo now so it's easy for him to travel c:

barring that, maybe Northern?

[marred]

/throws myself at you.

Luke's in a position of political power, so he can definitely talk to any of the lords who are a bit harder to convince? he's a good speaker and he's pretty cunning himself, so he'd be able to at least negotiate/bargain with them if it comes down to it! and, if not, just kidnap people. it's cool. I can honestly slot him in whenever time-wise and doing whatever for you since he's going to try and be a proper Marquis and not be stupid this time when it comes to his duties.

I'd offer Zuko but I'm pretty sure he'd get into trouble for being in Glaschu, given he's the Unseelie equivalent to Luke wrt being a recognised knight of his court. HE'LL BE ROOTING FOR YOU, ASAMI. if she wants any advice, he'll ... try and be Fire Lord Zuko for her. #teamasami

[uptowngirl]

/CATCHES AND TWIRLS

LMAO Kidnap people...Yes, though! She could possibly hit him up on her first leg of the journey when she's at the Citadel? This could also work well in seeking him out later when she eventually gets the airship stuff together, too.

Zuko got her a snoopy toy. It's good luck. She appreciates it. Please trend #teamasami while she's on this, buddy.

[nibelheims]

slips in here hello c: cloud will definitely help!! he's probs gonna be helping with leathann at first tho (bc if zack is there, cloud is there), but he'd be free to help evacuate people later on. i'm sure we can figure something out!!

[uptowngirl]

HELLO DARLING c: If he heard that they were running another evacuation after Leathann, he could start heading out west? Anyone who just showed up and went "hey, I wanna help too" she'd be really grateful for!

[uptowngirl]

I'm putting the log together and I just wanted to confirm what part of the journey Cloud will be along for? Northern, Southern, or both?

[transmarine]

Arthur can and will help! He's new and he's not about the being useless life and plus he's got the whole half-Atlantean thing going for him that can probably be useful for anything close and in the sea

plus he can lift literal tons, jump really far and do all kinds of crazy superhero shit. another plus, he knows how to organize and lead so if she needs help on those fronts Arthur's good for that too

[uptowngirl]

Can I first just give an OOC squee at being offered help from Aquaman? I feel like my childhood is coming back to me in the best of ways.

BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, she could use help with all of that! Helping scout routes and maybe lead one of the groups of refugees out? Help her chat up the local lords so they want to leave?

[unsolitary]

Clarke will send a dozen gold marks for funding and probably two native Red Hand agents to help her! Asami will be able to direct them as she sees fit. ♥

[uptowngirl]

Thank you so much, Clarke!! She appreciates it and she will use the funds and her minions agents appropriately! (Do they have names, or should I make some up for logging purposes?)

[chilledout]

Yooooooooo, so Bobby will be heading out of Caer Glaem with her, and Scott is coming along! Because heroing is what they do, and Asami's quest involves hero business. Bobby will be abandoning ship to go help out with the flames of field around when the Southern Leanna leg of the quest begins, but yes!

[uptowngirl]

Wonderful! That works just fine. I was going to follow up with everyone and see what legs of the quest they would be cool to help ou ton, so I will put him down for the Northern portion. Will Scott be going with him then too?

[wwjd]

Assuming Asami could pick up funds at somewhere like the White Citadel or Caer Glaem, Kirei can help out in terms of offering however much money seems reasonable! He will have to limit his involvement to this, though—and realize the money comes from a dirty Void lover.

PCs can also feel to use the orphanage or church as they will; for example, if there are orphans who need a place to live. Anyone can send me a PM if questions come up about that or they need more information!

[uptowngirl]

She definitely could! Kirei you're the best! (Even if you love the Void which is scary.) She would be able to use it on supplies ooooooor to hire mercenaries to help.

SHE MAY WANT TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT THAT, Void things. What she might need to expect...
