[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!

/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

/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.

[marred]

I WILL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. which doesn't help, but if there's any spaces you find need filling, Luke will gladly help Asami over and over! she can definitely hit him up at the Citadel! he's usually bumming around Glaschu so I can easily shove him at the Citadel doing Citadel things so they can bump heads and she can meet his family.

WOW, DON'T YOU KNOW HE'LL SKYWRITE #TEAMASAMI. he takes this very seriously.

[uptowngirl]

HEY I imagine if she could even name drop him to a few of the local lords, they might be more willing to talk to her. Would he actually want to come along or operate from a distance as a LOOMING POWER/influence?

GOOD. He should. Write in the sky please and thank you! That might help her reputation too.

[marred]

how is this even a question! there's a 99% chance george and martha will be there so they'll be #teamasami and encourage him to not be Dumb and go with her. and, hey, there's always his gossiping cows! if they need to blackmail these lords, those cows have big hair for a reason ... or his foxes can go fetch documents or what have you off their desks. really, the mischief is endless here ...

he'll gladly come and intimidate. making threats is something luke has missed doing! #onelinevillain

zuko'll burn it into the ground, too. oh, wait, that's not good. :/

[uptowngirl]

THE COWS. I still can't believe that's an actual thing. Can he bring all his animals? I feel like that would be difficult to transport. BUT OKAY it's settled. She'll find him at the Citadel and then he can come with her. Has he ever rode a flying bison before??

Oh yeah, which reminds me, Zuko will get to see Appa since she's been borrowing him. He'll be at the Station.

[marred]

HE WILL BRING THEM ALL! except for george, george will demand rats from asami as payment for his services. but i don't think he has ever ridden on a bison before ... I CAN'T REMEMBER. IT'S BEEN 84 YEARS SINCE I JOINED THIS GAME.

and i cannot even remember if zuko knows appa is in town but i donut think he does so i guess we need to schedule in monthly freakouts + dinner dates with these two???

but just let me know when and where you want me.

[uptowngirl]

Has it really been that long...I keep feeling like I'm fresh off the boat but I realize that Asami's hitting her fourth month.

WELL HE WILL KNOW SOON! And yes, I think so. She'll get to poke him before she heads off to the Citadel with Larsa!


Everywhere. All the time.

[uptowngirl]

Okay! I'm putting the log together and I just wanted to confirm what part of the journey LUKE will be along for? Northern, Southern, or both? Is he going to be her senpai the whole time?
