Once again, a notice is sent out to gather in a briefing room. It seems your resounding success in the last mission has earned some brownie points because there's one major change to be found here: information. For once, teams won't be flying blind in this mission. It seems the goal of the mission is far too important to wait till last minute to convey. A quick glance at the files spread on the table and mission runners will see their destination.

Recon on District 3.

Other notes mention that the main point of checking out the firebombed district is information. There's important information 13 is hoping survived the attack and it's your job to collect it. It should be easy, it's a dead district, no one to sneak past, but there will be plenty of ruble and destruction to sift through.

Now who's willing to get their hands dirty?

This mission will have two phases to it. The first is simple info gathering. There will be three goals that need to be achieved in regards to this information and three locations to search for it. Teams won't matter and will be decided later.

The second part of this mission is less complicated; someone didn't get their information right (or perhaps it was withheld) but the mission runners will be in District 3 at the same time a Peacekeeper patrol is passing through. The result is a shoot out. Players will be outnumbered and there is no way to win this fight, although it's certainly possible to put a dent in it. The goal will be to pull back and make it to the hovercraft in one piece, feel free to use the section below to plot out whatever interactions you might want. As long as the info was gathered and everyone makes it back on the hovercraft alive, it will be a mission success.

Note: Light character injuries are welcome, be advised that serious injuries could leave characters out of missions all the way into endgame, so plot wisely!

Sign ups will close 11:59pm EST on Thursday the 17th!

With team work and skill, the mission went off perfectly! The transmitters put in place and the staff none the wiser, the Capitol only knows it's train was attacked and raided, taking suspicion of the main objective. 13 is one step closer to a successful rebellion with the ability to talk to the districts now in place.

Of course, this mission wouldn't have been a success without the help of those who risked themselves to carry it out and Coin knows that. A week after the mission's conclusion, the new supplies stored and the transmitters proven to work, those who volunteered will find a small token of 13's appreciation waiting for them when next they step into their rooms.
( And your prizes )

The time has come to see if all that team training and dream training has paid off: pack your bags, kids, it's time for a field trip.

It's no secret a new mission is to be run, they never are, the surprise comes with the announcement that you will be running it this time. That's right, no dream serums, no cozy fake environments, it's time to head out into the world and see if you're really as capable as you all claim to be. It's time to see if you really will make a difference in this war.

You're all called into a briefing room and told the mission will be led by 13's Bucky Barnes, but they need volunteers for the rest of the positions in the mission. They need people who are good with electronics, people who are good at being stealthy and breaking in and sneaking in, people who are willing to put their lives on the line an extra step by providing a distraction and those who are willing to stay back in relative safety and see to it that one of the most important parts of this mission is seen through to the end. Rest assured, all you fight-happy people, there'll be plenty of action for all.

There's no room for failure and should someone get hurt and be unable to keep up, it's likely they'll be left behind. With that in mind, it's time to sign up.

Sign ups end once the mission goes up on Saturday 22nd at around 1pm EST.

We'd also like to remind everyone that 13's info has been updated and includes new job opportunities for your character to play with as well as a new schedule.

When war against the Capitol begins, the Capitol is not likely to go easy on all of you. You will be pushed to your limits, mentally, physically, emotionally. You will all need to prepare. You may very well have to face some of your darkest fears.

Which is exactly what thirteen is going to ask you to do.

( Visions are seldom what they seem. )

First off, there have been a few tweaks made to the District 13 page! A few NPCs have been removed and a new one has been added! If you'd like CR with him, feel free to PM his account or the Mod account.

The most important change to note is that we are tapering off the idea that Thirteen blames Tributes for participating in The Games. Thirteen does not consider Tributes complicit in the Capitol's regime for their participation. However, there are many people who do believe this and will tell Tributes as much. You can consider some of the Re-Education Professors similarly minded, but their view is not the one Thirteen wants to sell. Residents of Thirteen, of course, DO get mad when anything is remotely Pro-Capitol and they don't sympathize well with the consequences of speaking out.

That aside, it's time for a NEW MISSION.

By now the New Citizens of District Thirteen probably understand the intentions of the Higher Ups a little better. No? Well. If punishments and report cards don't get the message across, perhaps it's time for another mission. Perhaps it's time to hit a little closer to home.


( Mission briefing )

Hey sports fans,
Now that D13 has experienced it's first spontaneous mission, you can expect a punishment and evaluation log to go up within about a week. Backtagging the mission is still totally alright and encouraged, but in the interest of keeping the pace and understanding what your character's will experience, we'd like everyone to know what punishments or rewards they're in for.

In order for this to happen, all D13ers will need to check into this post and rate your character's performance. It's up to you to do a small summary or just a few words, remember that D13 is looking for ruthlessness and efficiency so anything that prompts hesitation or weakness in your character would be an example of poor performance. This round in particular is special because there was no real success.

In a related note, D13 characters can expect a surprise of sorts that will be set after their punishments but the post may arrive before then. As usual, the quicker this gets done, the quicker character's can receive their evaluations. It should not impact their reactions too much, nobody will receive immediate severe punishments.

Introducing your newest District Thirteen plot, today's flavour is Rigorous Training and Surprise Missions.

The foundations of District Thirteen are built on people, all sorts of people from Districts that go beyond Thirteen. It's something of a safe haven, but a safe haven is only safe if the people protecting it are competent enough to do so. Tributes and Victors alike have been snatched for purposes beyond clear understanding, the only real truth is that they are to participate in the rebellion against the Capitol.

The only problem? District Thirteen doesn't think they're ready. They've reviewed your strengths and weaknesses, they know your fears, your distractions and your capability. You may have talents beyond your ability to fight, but the fact is that District Thirteen is a place for soldiers.

It starts with announcements and an assurance that training for the Tribute refuges will begin soon. Something that appears to be a survey will be handed out, there's little debate as to whether it out to be filled out or not. Tributes are asked to return their forms promptly so as to ensure the training runs smoothly.

Since District 13 is completely separate from the Capitol and functions as it's own thing for now, I thought it might be time we had our own plotting post. There aren't a lot of people right now, but that doesn't mean we can't do our own thing within the constraints of the setting.

If you have any short term ideas, maybe some new weapon you want your character to learn or fighting style or technology or simply something new, this is the place to express that and then maybe find someone whose character can facilitate it happening. If you have some sort of character arc or development you want to work on, share it with everyone! Maybe someone will be interested and like to help you see it happen. Or maybe you just think it'd be cool if Character A threaded with Character B but you don't know when or where or about what? This is the place to put it! Remember, this is not just for small interactions or just long term goals, it is for both.

Below is the form from the usual plotting meme, but altered for our use. Feel free to use it or simply go freeform if that would allow you to get your ideas out better. Here is the District 13 info for anyone who needs a refresher.

<b>Character:</b> <b>Skills your character has:</b> Military training, tech-savvy, excellent at laundry, this can be literally anything. **Please note if any of these would be skills District 13 might find notable and/or effect your character's contribution to 13's society <b>Skills your character might want to learn:</b> Maybe they want to learn how to fight with a bo staff, maybe they just want to learn how to draw. This can be anything. <b>Basic personality:</b> <b>What has happened to them recently? What can they usually be found doing during their free time or during structured time?:</b> Give a brief summary of what they have been doing. How well are they transitioning to the new setting? Do they watch the Games? Do they hole up in their rooms at night or do they wander around? This is the place to catch everyone up! <b>Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character:</b> Anything that might grab someone, or they can get involved with, or pretty much anything that could spark CR that didn't fall into the above.

Note: This meme is open to anyone currently in 13 and anyone about to come into 13 after this current arena is over. Please also note that Jade (viperous) is available as an npc to facilitate plots if anyone thinks they might need her for an idea.

With another Arena just around the corner, there will soon be an opportunity for some Tributes to be smuggled out to District 13. If you're interested in sending a character to D13 after Arena 13, please comment to this post.
