SAMHAIN PLOTTING

[extramural]

Hi everyone, Gadgets here! A few people on Plurk had expressed interest in an ooc post to do plotting for the hippest party of the year, and I figured hey, I'm procrastinating at work, why not throw one up? (That said, please let me know if I'm stepping on any toes!) As per the calendar:

"Everything in the drabwurld stops for Samhain, and this year it will pass from the 25th to the 30th, each new day simply an extension of a misted, starry night, devoid of sun or moon! All feuds are forgotten over Samhain in favor of avoiding the Black Shuck instead, whose shall prowl the drabwurld in search of spirits who have escaped him. His power is so immense that to make his hunting easier, he has altered the manner of the world for these nights; a single step might unwittingly take one out of their room in a castle to a remote forest, from one coast to another... anywhere in the drabwurld. It is custom that all wear masks and behave differently so that they are not made his targets, and all folk, from the loftiest kings to the lowest servants, engage in revelry. All crimes committed in this time are pardoned. Many NPCs (including the monarchs!) will be engaged in this event, and Black Shuck himself will walk among the revelers! At the end of this festival, characters wind up wherever on the map they desire to be."

So! Five days of masked fun and neutrality, along with rubbing elbows with the NPCs and a free pass to commit crime! Also a big scary dog and accidental teleportation.

For ease, here's a handy little form! I like forms.
<b>Player:</b> <b>Character:</b> <b>Outfit:</b> Have one planned? Need some assistance, either ICly or OOcly? Just want to share pretty pictures? (Please link pictures to help on loading times!) <b>Activities:</b> Are they going to be cutting the rug? A wallflower? Spiking the drinks? Committing crime? Adamantly refusing to acknowledge that a party is happening absolutely everywhere? <b>Other:</b> Anything else because I am forgetful!

So! Look for dance partners, partners-in-crime, someone to make out with behind a bush, or someone to go exploring with while the world is altered and it's easy! But most of all, have fun!

I like this plan, yes.

Perhaps she and Ellie could conspire to drag him there. XD

Or hell, if Tess is wanting to build contacts, she might be able to get Joel to go simply based on that. The whole "we need to work out who is useful, who to avoid, who we could exploit, who's who of what, for survival purposes" thing. I mean, Joel would normally leave building contacts up to Tess while he does most of the muscle work, but this is a whole new environment where guns don't work, and safety in numbers is probably a good strategy. Plus, who knows, Joel might need to intervene if Tess got too reckless or something, lol.

Oh yeah, definitely, and they'll want two pairs of eyes to get the lay of the land so to speak anyway. She trusts Joel's judgment completely (even if she doesn't always listen) so yessss basically. XD

Until Joel is like, "nup, too many people, too much noise, too much activity going on, not enough escape routes or exits, TOTALLYNOTGOINGTOHAVEAPANICATTACK, gotta get outta here". Haha.
