A Bloody Valentine

[etcircenses]

A Bloody Valentine plot is LIVE! See the Dance Auction here and the Investigation here!

Mods have decided that everyone signed up may go on this mission. Investigators will have received a prompt from the following characters: Firo, Altair, Shepard, Derek, Wesker, and Ermac. These people will have told at least two of those signed up. This can however be handwaved. (You may discuss here in plotting over what that message was.)

Investigators will need to look over and through each section to find clues. Fritz-mod will be keeping up with doing replies for these clue-discoveries. Each section should have up to three investigators and no more than that.

Remember, if all clues are found before February 18th at midnight EST, the Tributes will get away with it. If they are not, the Tributes will be caught!

There will be a chance later to send the findings back to District 13.

Plotting

[etcircenses]

[revvinguptheharley]

Hooray! Catering and corpses!

So since Harleen is a little more skittish then her normal self, would anyone like to volunteer to be investigation buddies?

She may be more subdued but her eyesight and skills are still on point.

[69problems]

Xiil just went to bed so I can't check with them but I just wanna throw out the idea of Signless, Roland and Harley being the shittiest team in the world. Consider.

[revvinguptheharley]

Oh...oh I really like that idea.

Especially since Roland has been forced into exploring Harley's madness, so now he gets to see her when it's all been buried by brainwashing!

[infinitemayonnaise]

Nitou is going to be freaking out, so if anyone wants to tell this idiot to shut up and maybe not disturb everything so much when he starts rooting around for information, that is possibly going to be a good idea. Probably.

[silberfuchs]

I will totes volunteer Albert for this. Nitou, plz. Worst spy.

[infinitemayonnaise]

HE IS AN ARCHAEOLOGIST AND NOT USED TO SUCH FRESH DEAD BODIES OKAY

But yes, yes, come critique his spying technique and be the adult supervision, nothing could go wrong.

[foundafamily]

Looking for people who'd be willing to let Firo tag along with their investigation! He does have some scientific knowledge buried away in that empty head of his (thanks, creepy ghost memories), and he can offer very sharp eyes and a willingness to get his hands dirty on top of that. He's probably ideal if anyone needs someone to do grunt work while they do the brain work.

If you need someone to have passed on the message to your character, we can work out something for that too.

[shieldofrohan]

*clears throat*

[foundafamily]

PLEASE. :D

She's the first person he would've told the message too if she needed it. Where would she want to look?

[sizeofyourbaggage]

SO DOES ANYONE WANT A BIRD?

I promise he's mostly stable. He probably won't have a freak out in the middle of the mission when he sees the dead bodies of his friends.

And he's definitely 100% in control of his new cyborg parts.

...okay those are lies, but someone should take pity on him and team up with him anyway.

[silberfuchs]

Can't partner because not signed up, but I definitely need threads bro

[earthborn]

If anyone wants to back-date a thread wherin Shepard told them her information, I'd be happy to thread that out with you, or handwave it!

[revvinguptheharley]

I'm game if you are boss! Whatchoo feelin' like threadwise?

Re: Plotting

[theflyingone]

Altair has to pass on his message last-minute on this very night, due to being confined for trying to murder Quintus in the last battle. Mention of his torture punishment may come up, depending on when the network post goes up, but hey, he's been trained to withstand that too! Everything is juuuust fiiine! :')

Please to be awkward-dancing with this pile of awkward as he fails at smalltalk and explains away his stiffness as from falling down the stairs.

I assume he'll have extra eyes on him at the party, but he is also highly trained at blending into crowds and slipping away. He will hurry to the Lab and investigate with a sense of urgency, since he knows he will be one of the first to be missed. No computer skills to speak of, so he will be concentrating on finding stuff with sharp eyes. He will most likely investigate the Off-limits and Storage areas.

[president_evil]

If anybody wants to have heard Wesker's info, let me know! C

[coneyislandcrazy]

Ooo, how would Wesker like to slip his tidbit to little miss Quinnzel now that she's been "Subdued"?

Re: Plotting

[shieldofrohan]

Who wants to go investigating with Éowyn? :D She's not stupid, but she could maybe use someone who's more brain than brawn around.

[occasio]

Making a note here that Phi and Derek are going to hit up the Off-Limits zone!

Clue Discussion

[etcircenses]

Feel free to discuss the clues here (though it is not mandatory to do so).

Questions

[etcircenses]

[revvinguptheharley]

So, question regarding prompts!

Should we have all received the prompts by now? Or do we need to discuss the handwavy parts in this plotting post?

[etcircenses]

The six people listed should look for a way to pass the info they got from the original three rebels to you guys who are signed up. Contacting them may be a good way to go, but if you find it impossible to get said info for whatever reason, message here again and well will provide it for you!

The idea is that by only giving the first three info and requesting it be passed ICly, we'll encourage more of the game to get involved with this sort of message passing and investigation. However, we don't want it to stall plot either!

Re: Questions

[theflyingone]

My character did something bad during the last liberation and has probably been confined until the auction. Can he still pass on his message last-minute on the night of the auction?

Re: Questions

[etcircenses]

Yes, this is doable!
