( january event ooc )

[hownkai]

E V E N T O O C

Hello, Savrites! This is going to be a relatively short OOC post pertaining to the plot as it is somewhat minor and a bit of a transition into the bigger part of the plot. As of today (01.18), each event listed in the intro log has occurred simultaneously, meaning that whichever city you chose for your character is the city they were in when it happened and witnessed everything that's unfolded there. After everything has "settled", a broadcast will overtake every frequency across Emiri and be seen by everyone--even those on the Moira. In this transmission, which will occur ICly on 01.21, characters will witness the "horrible side" of Link'd Inc. It will begin with the Komai symbol of a broken link and proceed to show photos and video footage of the shadier aspects of their business (i.e. groups of children without parents, flashes of an incinerator, empty rooms and dark hallways). This is immediately proceeded by the news that the founder of Link'd Inc. has gone "missing". What does this mean? The entirety of Emiri's planet travel has been locked down. Ships will be permanently docked, and no one will be able to come and go into orbit until Link has been located. Travel to each of the cities won't be as restricted; however, expect authorities who work for Link'd Inc. to do occasional searches or detain your character for questioning. They will also be found aboard the Moira to speak with Benjamin Link, the son of Federick Link and Thán's match. Since the Komai have (sort of) shown themselves to the public, there will be additional things for characters to explore in each city with the event log. This will range from bits of information to actually speaking with members of the group in discreet locations. On the night of 01.21, ALL characters will either experience a dream (if they sleep) or a vision (if they do not sleep) from an unknown and untraceable source. If your character has the Ploiatos Scar, as listed here, their dream will be of a boy. Everyone else's dream will be of a girl. These are listed below. The dream begins with the character's interpretation of a happy relationship, one filled with love and respect. It fades to show the image of Link'd Inc and what they are capable of, the comfort that comes from finding that perfect someone, and the boy's face can be seen, smiling and consoled by the fact that he has done this. He is responsible for this union and will continue to do whatever it takes for others to experience that same joy. Yet, this content will be ruined if the Komai are allowed to persist in spreading these lies of theirs. He wants you to know that they are wrong, that they are simply trying to chase you away from the possibility of a perfect future. Waking up is quiet, peaceful. There is an urge to stay that overshadows the panic slowly seeping through the ranks, and the only question in your mind is why would you want to leave? The dream begins with your character's interpretation of a failed relationship, one filled with pain and hardship. It fades to show the image of the Komai and what they are trying to stop, the chaos that comes from being forced into a match, and the girl's face can be seen, frowning and upset by the misery that comes from what she has done. She is responsible for this union and does not want to continue to do whatever it takes for others to experience this heartache. Yet, this sorrow will continue if Link'd Inc persists in spreading these lies of theirs. She wants you to know that they are wrong, that they are simply trying to force you into a possibility of a broken future. Waking up is loud, violent. There is an urge to leave that overshadows the panic slowly seeping through the ranks, and the only question in your mind is why haven't we left yet? The captains will come to the crew about finding the Komai in order to do whatever they need to do so they can leave. Yet, they know it isn't safe for the entirety of the crew to be split up among the cities and would prefer to search one place for safety and a possible quick get-away. There will be a meeting in the mess hall asking for characters to share what they have seen or information that might not have been public knowledge to the rest of the crew. Anything that is denoted in threads as having taken place during this meeting will be known to anyone that was there and has attended the meeting regardless of whether or not they were part of the thread. With this in mind, please fill out the following poll! (One vote per character.) Note: This poll isn't allowing those with more than one character to vote, so click view and add a comment directly to the poll! Sorry about the inconvenience. Which city does your character choose as most likely to house the Komai? Harashan Avelle St. Murtel

Questions

[hohnkai]

[hyperkinesia]

Can we know how long the compulsion caused by the dreams will last? And will they leave the planet by the end of the month, or stick around into the next?

[hyperkinesia]

Character(s): Bruce Banner hyperkinesia
Is your character exploring Emiri: He's been visiting a little bit of everywhere, trying to get a sense of each cities, what life is like in each, and also poking around for anything suspicious. (It's not paranoia if they're trying to get you.)
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: Definitely thinks there's something shady there. He's not at the point of 'evil mind-controlling brainwashing organization' yet, but he might just get there after the dreams.
What does your character think of the Komai: He knows little about them as of now, but after the dreams he might start wondering if they're some kind of underground group trying to stop Link'd and whatever Bad Things they're doing to the people.
Which dream did your character have: Bruce has the Ploiatos scar, so he'll be having the nice dream with the boy. He will be having a soothing, vague dream about Betty Ross I'm not evil, you're evil, but he will absolutely not tell anyone. At least not the details. He will get that compulsion to stay but he will soon realize that someone's messing with his head, especially once he hears about all the others having dreams too. His compulsion to stay will linger for a few days but no longer, and will vanish some hours after he's locked himself up in his cage to stop himself from doing something drastic/dangerous. Because he doesn't think whoever played with his mind knows what/who else is in there, he wouldn't want to risk all that poking around to trigger him into a transformation.
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: St. Murtel. He would think Harashan is too populated/central, and St. Murtel has all the labs and genetics thing going on, so he would think that would be a solid option.
Anything else: Nothing specific right now. Open to thoughts and ideas!

[seeingscarlet]

We should definitely do another rip-out-your-feels thing with this. ;A;

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

Character(s): Papyrus coolskeletonnyehntyfive
Is your character exploring Emiri: It's his first time on the surface of a planet, so yeah absolutely. Once he stopped being amazed by sunlight and fresh breezes and other wonders, he pretty much went hog wild looking at everything and being a super tourist. He's taken so many selfies pictures. There's literally nowhere he won't want to go. If any of your characters ran into him, he asked to take a selfie with them too.
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: He... still wants to believe there's good intentions there. They're a company of romance and family and good things... right?
What does your character think of the Komai: He doesn't fully understand who or what they are, but they want to help and their hearts seem to be in the right place, and he'd like to ask them some questions.
Which dream did your character have: Papyrus doesn't have the scar and he rarely sleeps, so he had a vision of the girl. He doesn't really have a good frame of reference for a bad romantic relationship, so his vision will be more geared toward his friendships on the Moira souring and Sans shutting him out completely. Given his nature, he'll probably snap out of it in a panic and hurry to reassure the people he's met that he's a good person, he really is, and as far as he's concerned their bonds are solid.

So, y'know. Unsolicited inbox spam ahoy!

Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: St. Murtel, just because it's the nerd city.

Anything else: I guess it'd be cool if his pictures accidentally gave the crew some useful information? But overall he's kinda too oblivious to intentionally figure any of this out.

[commontype]

Eggsy would be interested in his pictures, especially if there is anything that he could use to help him figure things out. Danny has met Sans and thinks Sans is great. So, I've got two guys that I could toss at you if you want?

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

Character(s): J gentlemenpreferblondes
Is your character exploring Emiri:MAYBE? I'd like to her go and do this stuff but it really all depends on how she's going to recover from that nightmare.
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: Well, it's obviously bullshit but she still wants to have fun with it?
What does your character think of the Komai: Well, all she knows is that they're probably a terrorist? Other than that she has no idea.
Which dream did your character have: Girl dream. OH, she would so prefer to ignore it but hahah no chance for that. She has her issues when it comes to relationships and she was just pretty much dumbed and kicked out from an unhealthy relationship. It's not even her first relationship that was awful/abusive etc so hahah. She's going to freak out and it's most likely going to take time from her to pull herself together.
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: St. Murtel. Too shady place.
Anything else: OKAY SO. I'm definitely up for any kind of plotting. Help her to calm down, accompany her around the cities or just hold her hand back on Moira? Come at me! However, considering the nature of her issues there's a really high chance for threads involve triggering context, such as mentions of prostitution, abusive relationships, violence. Feel free to pm me for more information if you're interested?

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

also idek why I can't edit this but also don't hesitate pm me if you want to completely opt-out

[seeingscarlet]

Character(s): Wanda Maximoff seeingscarlet
Is your character exploring Emiri: Yep! Wanda likes Avelle best, and she won't go near St. Murtel unless she's with someone she trusts.
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: She doesn't trust them.
What does your character think of the Komai: She doesn't really trust them either, not yet.
Which dream did your character have: Super emotionally manipulative nightmare! Wanda's aware that it was implanted, so she'll be telling people that something's not right. But for now Wanda's withholding final judgement until she can actually look in the responsible parties' heads. The truth is likely somewhere in the middle.
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: Probably St. Murtel? Wanda hasn't been there, and she hasn't felt or heard any sign of the Komai in Harashan or Avelle.
Anything else: There's so much potential for mind games here! Wanda has the ability to share her dream through telepathic visions. I'd also like her to see the other perspective if anyone feels like volunteering to be read. Additionally, she will be really concerned about trying to find those kids from the broadcast, so there's potential for exploration plotting as well.

[whynotgoonmyown]

Character(s): Tyler Preman whynotgoonmyown
Is your character exploring Emiri: Yes, mostly Avelle. This such as the night life, or interesting places to visit, sights to see, etc.
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: Up until the dream, he'll be amused at first, then the more he thinks and the more he sees in the network, the fishier it sounds. Once the dream happens, he'll be more suspicious.
What does your character think of the Komai: Nothing much, but the dream will prompt him to dig as much as he possibly can without drawing too much attention to himself.
Which dream did your character have: He had the bad dream. He won't ignore it, he'll probably tell it to at least Drew, or anyone else that brings it up on either the network or in person. What he makes of it, he's not sure, but something fucking with his and everyone else's mind is not something he'll take lightly.
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: St. Murtel. Since that's where someone from the Komai was arrested, so they should at least be more active there.
Anything else: Nothing specific right now, open to anything!

[rraidergirl]

hey tyler, guess what we're going to find in the basement. 8Db

[skelepun]

Character(s): Sans skelepun
Is your character exploring Emiri: Sans will be in St. Murtel when "shit goes down" as it were. However, upon learning that his bro is not there, he's going to be basically doing everything in his power to get him out of there and back on the ship. Where, y'know. It's safe and not creepy as shit.
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: He thinks the whole idea is super creepy and weird, tbh. But he's not much of a romantic.
What does your character think of the Komai: He thinks they're probably just as corrupt as whatever they're fighting against. Black and white isn't really something he believes in.
Which dream did your character have: The "girl" dream. Sans doesn't have a huge frame of reference for romantic relationships. It was never really his priority. So as a result, his dream will be focused much more on his friendships -- specifically, the people he's grown to like on the boat and his brother. Specifically, the people he's grown to like on the boat killing his brother in some way.

He won't be telling anybody (Sans doesn't tell anybody anything), but he'll be very suspicious of people. Moreso than usual, even if you're a friend.

Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: St. Murtel. Sans saw some Komai activity up close and personal while he was there and it just makes logical sense. Then again, he hasn't put much thought into it to begin with. As far as he's concerned, it's Emiri's business, not theirs.

Anything else: I would really love for Sans's nightmare to cause him to briefly "lose control" of his magic, and cause him to accidentally summon/fire one of his stronger magical attacks (a giant dog skull thing that's creepy as shit). So if you want your character to get hurt, GET ON THAT.

Also, Sans is going to be looking for his bro pretty much as soon as it's clear Shit is Going Down. Help with that is verrrrry appreciated. Even if the dream is going to be leaving him deeply suspicious.

[rraidergirl]

Hi, I'm here to sign up for gratuitous injuries.

[tearmeanewone]

Character(s): Elizabeth DeWitt tearmeanewone
Is your character exploring Emiri: She spends most of her time in Harashan, though she's been rolling around Avelle during the night with friends or Ivan. She hasn't had much cause to go to St. Murtel.
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: Hey, it's working for her with Ivan-- they seem a little hit-or-miss though. She's especially interested to know what's up with the children in the Komai-released video and how that relates to them-- if something's happening with kids, it'd sway her opinion drastically.
What does your character think of the Komai: If something's happening on Emiri, they should come right out and say it instead of sending people to look at burnt out warehouses and releasing cryptic videos.
Which dream did your character have: Elizabeth had the dream with the boy. Her dream will no doubt feature Booker heavily, so yes, she is not going to want to leave this planet. Anyone who says she's being influenced will be ignored--because clearly if there's a possibility that she can have unconditional love and trust with someone again, everything else is secondary. Someone get the crowbar.
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: Elizabeth believes it's Harashan-- someone handed her an address and she followed it, nothing was there. Seems to match the M.O. of the strange video, even if they aren't there anymore they must have been at one point.
Anything else: Elizabeth is going to need encouragement to leave the planet. She's going to need encouragement to come back to the Moira to sleep (WHAT IF THEY JUST TOOK OFF OUT OF ORBIT IN THE NIGHT??).

I'm also interested in her being detained for questioning, and potentially having a dramatic and panicked episode over it either when she's being led away or in whatever room they put her in.

[seeingscarlet]

I'm here for anything! Wanda's taking the 'I don't trust either of them' approach and will definitely be trying to find those kids (if they exist), if that's something that might help refocus Liz.

[earthandpine]

Character(s): Rosethorn earthandpine
Is your character exploring Emiri: Yes. She's much more comfortable on the outskirts of cities, in parks, anywhere with plants. Also tends to gravitate toward academic areas, because at least that's familiar

What does your character think of Link'd Inc: horse. shit.

Okay, but really, mandatory arranged marriages for an entire population sounds like an awful idea. Rosethorn is very much about freedom of choice, hates being controlled, and thinks that the only people whose business it is what happens in a relationship ARE THE PEOPLE IN THAT RELATIONSHIP. She has been known to scold even her own children for presuming to interfere in her romantic relationships; they're her business, and her partner(s)', not anyone else's. She also grew up in a very unhealthy family environment, so the idea of an entire world not having freedom of choice when it comes to the people they'll live and raise a family with... it's an upsetting thought on a number of levels.

What does your character think of the Komai: She doesn't condone violence and death as a means of change, however much she sympathizes with the desire to lash out after growing up in a society that exercises control over all their citizens' home lives.

Which dream did your character have: She had the dream about an unhealthy relationship, and let me tell you, she is going to be a quiet, withdrawn mess for a little while after she has it. If we're talking worst case scenario, the idea that she could ever feel as powerless in a romantic relationship as she felt with her own family when she was growing up is pretty high up there. She was used for her magic rather than loved, and standing up to her father was a HUGE DEAL. She doesn't want to think any set of circumstances could ever put her in that position again, where she can't leave or defy a partner when it becomes clear (s)he doesn't care, and it would be very much a nightmare.

She won't talk about her dream unless someone else brings it up first. It doesn't do much to change her mind about anything, although she's likely to be just as annoyed with the Komai as Linked, Inc. if she feels they've been trying to manipulate her mind.

Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: Rosethorn thinks they probably have a presence in every city. She would guess that they're based largely in Harashan because the city itself has bu far the largest population-base, and also because it seems counter-intuitive to her that the most educated population is buying into the worldview here.

Anything else: ANYTHING. Upset encounter after dreams, exploration, getting into trouble, bring me what you'd like and we'll see about making it happen.

[eighteenhalflives]

Character(s): Tobias eighteenhalflives
Is your character exploring Emiri: He's been moving constantly, which means he may not have settled down anywhere long enough to really see anything, but who knows. At this point he's probably more familiar with each city's map than with...well, anyone he's met. Whoops. Is he getting paid for low-level fetch quests? Probably. Is he even remotely buying into this 'relationship' business? Nah.
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: That it's unreal, haha. But also that what they're doing with their own planet isn't really his business, and that he doesn't care enough to dig into it because it doesn't affect him.
What does your character think of the Komai: See above. However, he's also inclined to look at their efforts as an unnecessary and bothersome disruption. He doesn't care if one of the groups is 'good' or 'bad'; he just wants to find the supplies he's looking for and go.
Which dream did your character have: Tobias had the dream about the girl, but as far as he's concerned he's never seen an 'ideal' relationship that didn't end in the premature death of an involved party, so he's...not very affected. Bad relationships are a given. He might be willing to chat about what's going on, but at the moment he is not inspired to get involved with this drama.
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: Tobias really hopes it's Avelle, because he has a shit sense of humour thinks it'd be funny. He hasn't investigated yet, though, so he's also disinclined to offer that answer as anything more than a joke.
Anything else: I dunno man, maybe if someone wants to talk him into actually participating. Send him on a stupid and unexpectedly difficult errand for laughably poor compensation. Whatev.

[commontype]

Character(s): Eggsy Unwin commontype
Is your character exploring Emiri: He's been spending a lot of time in Avelle, really exploring and getting to know the area. Eggsy thinks it's a nice place, lots of families and romance, but the thinks something weird is going on in general.
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: Just some company trying to make money.
What does your character think of the Komai: That something has to be going on underneath everything in order for such a group to come along. More than just Link'd trying to make money.
Which dream did your character have: The dream of the girl. He'd have hated being reminded of his mum and Dean, the worst example of a relationship he's seen, but he'd also think the timing was really strange and be suspicious of it all.
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: Eggsy thinks it's in Avelle because that's where everything he's seen happen has occurred.
Anything else: Eggsy will want to hear what everyone thinks so that he can make a plan to do some super secret intel gathering. Basically, he's going to snoop.

Character(s): Danny Holt wedealwithit
Is your character exploring Emiri: He's sticking to the main areas since he's new to life in space and trying to get his footing.
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: That love shouldn't be sold.
What does your character think of the Komai: That this is all about to be a big mess.
Which dream did your character have: He dreamt of the girl. He'll see his parents, and maybe a glimpse of how his own most recent relationship ended badly.
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: St. Murtel because he was there doing the arrest, and thinks it's strange.
Anything else: He isn't a fighter, but he's pretty well versed with strange government things so he'd have some thoughts on that. Mostly, he'll be wanting to be careful.

[hyperkinesia]

Bruce and Eggsy snooping around together? :> I have no specific ideas yet, but we could put them in some situation where some Link'd peeps would show up and they'd have to sneak out unnoticed?

[rraidergirl]

Character(s): Lara Croft rraidergirl
Is your character exploring Emiri: HAHAH yes. Lara is going to be getting into everything that she can, though her main focus is going to be staying connected with crewmates and getting off planet asap.

What does your character think of Link'd Inc: FUCK THESE GUYS

What does your character think of the Komai: FUCK THEM TOO

She adamantly does not trust either group, though Link'd is the larger and more obvious evil, she's still gonna be super sketch about approaching the Komai and outright avoiding anyone from Link'd.

Which dream did your character have: She'll be having the dream about the little girl! It's gonna freak her shit out! It's probably going to involve her girlfriend best friend, Sam, and their entire relationship disintegrating. She's not going to bring it up unless someone asks and then it's going to depend on who she's talking to and the situation on whether or not she goes into detail.

Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: Avelle if she has to pick, because of a body she and whoever went with her into the house on her planetside starter (SURPRISE!!).

Anything else: Lara found a body in a weird, abandoned house in Avelle!! While everything else happening in those threads is fun, weird shit with no particular bearing on the plot as a whole, the body she found has the same broken link symbol as the one that's been showing up everywhere. She's going to tell Miles and the Captains pre Jan 18th, but otherwise keep it on the low till shit starts to go down. She's probably going to take her findings to the comm or the meeting, depending.

Other than that, she's going to be keyed up and ready for a fight, so anyone who needs someone to watch their back, she is your girl. She really wants to get the hell off this planet, but if anyone is super set on making trouble for/investigating Link'd, she'll go along with them. She's starting off in Avelle, but she won't be staying there.

[warandpeace]

Would you like to do more with Miller, since they witnessed some of the things together?

[daintylegs]

Character(s): Tailgate daintylegs
Is your character exploring Emiri: He's been mostly hanging around Avelle, leaving only occasionally to go bug his Lost Light crewmates.
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: Pretty neat
What does your character think of the Komai: He barely knows what's going on.
Which dream did your character have: The one with the girl. Tailgate's dream will probably involve his friend Cyclonus, who he cares about most in the world, leaving him along with the Lost Light. He'll be very upset and a little frightened by this, but he'd be willing to chat about it with whoever will listen.
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: Avelle. Just because.
Anything else: Nah

[pallantias]

Character(s): Athena pallantias
Is your character exploring Emiri: Athena’s sticking to Harashan for the most part because Avelle is gross and St. Murtel skeeves her out. She honestly prefers to stay on the ship for the most part though.
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: That it’s inane and probably scummy in the way all corporations are where she’s from. However, after she gets her dream, she’ll feel strangely obligated to them; she won’t exactly be singing their praises, but she will feel inexplicably defensive of them if they’re criticized or attacked.
What does your character think of the Komai: Initially apathetic, but increasingly hostile after her dream.
Which dream did your character have: Athena will be having a happy dream about sisterly love and friendship. As Athena is generally not accustomed to affection and warm fuzzies in general, she’s mostly going to be confused upon waking and won’t tell anyone about the dream unless they say they’ve had a similar one. The dream won’t be enough to convince Athena to stay on Emiri, but as mentioned before, it will make her more positively inclined toward Link’d Inc.
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: She hasn’t ventured out of Harashan/the Moira all that much so she doesn’t know haha. Assuming she learns what happened in the other cities at the mess hall meeting, she’ll probably pick St. Murtel as the most likely choice, since a Komai agent was apparently arrested there.
Anything else: If your character is anti-Link’d Inc, then there is some potential for conflict there, given the effects of Athena’s dream. Things (probably) won’t get physical unless your character starts it, but if you want to have an assassin yell at you and then get very confused as to why she’s yelling at you, then that’s a thing that can happen.

Also if you already have positive CR with Athena, then Athena might be weirdly affectionate at you for a day or so after having her dream :>

[seeingscarlet]

Wanda's getting a nasty nightmare, so she's going to wake up all freaked out. Feels time?

[backsassin]

Character(s): Zam Wesell backsassin
Is your character exploring Emiri: I mean, they’ll be around Avelle because they have that house there, but they don’t actually like it there. They probably prefer Harashan because it’s nice and business-like. And they’ll avoid St. Murtel like the plague because it reminds them too much of Kamino.
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: Extreme irritation, which will grow into outright hostility and anger after their dream.
What does your character think of the Komai: Zam doesn’t know too much about the Komai, but they instinctively like them better than Link’d Inc. Once again, these feelings will be intensified by their dream.
Which dream did your character have: Zam’s having a nightmare about failed relationships because this game was apparently designed to torment them. The nightmare will mostly consist of jumbled images and memories of the family they tried to start on Denon and Zam’s partnership with Jango Fett, centering mostly on how each relationship went down in flames. Needless to say, Zam is not going to be a happy camper upon waking up. They won’t tell anyone the specifics of their dream, but they will insist that they should all leave Emiri ASAP.
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: Avelle. Their dream and the little anti-Link’d Inc video seemed to focus on children, and that seems to be Avelle’s specialty.
Anything else: Zam’s immediate plan of action upon waking up from their dream is going to be “1) PACK BAGS 2) LEAVE,” so if anyone wants to run into an agitated bounty hunter either in Avelle or on the ship, this is your chance.

[notglitching]

Character(s): Rinzler notglitching
Is your character exploring Emiri: Off and on! Rinzler's spent a lot of time on ship getting used to tech and testing flyables (and some of it locked up for murder attempts whoops). That said, he's never been on a proper user world before, and he'd have explored at least a little, mostly in St. Murtel and Harashan.
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: User corporation and local sysadmins. He's very unimpressed with both their intake assessment (programs do not "children" tyvm) and their security. What kind of oppressive dictatorship can't even stop people from making a scene like this? Losers.
What does your character think of the Komai: Destabilizing factor. He's vaguely opposed on principle, but since Link'd Inc isn't his evil regime, he guesses it isn't a bad thing if these glitches take them down. Probably. Can we ditch the whole planet already?
Which dream did your character have: Rinzler had the dream with the girl. His dream would have focused on being separated and alone and forgetting the person you loved existed—to the point of ending up enemies without knowing what you've lost. It'll end ambiguously and he'll wake up in an extremely terrible mood and inclined to move/act/stab things rather than cope with any truths.
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: Probably Harashan? St Murtel's regulations make it less ideal for hosting your base, and business district means all sorts of room and motive for shady types to cover things up and hoard resources to use in their rebellion.
Anything else: Rinzler's got some stabby impulses to vent, and he'd be pretty easy to convince to come along on any sneaking/tracking/fight teams. I'd also be interested in him getting to use his flying-things job, whether with aerial surveillance (he got his lightjets in the mail!) or using the transporters to drop off/evac people getting in over their heads. CR get?

[soldiergenes]

Character(s): Solid Snake soldiergenes
Is your character exploring Emiri: Snake's probably explored all three of the cities by this point. He's not particularly comfortable in any of them, though.
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: He doesn't trust them! He's used to there being some shady reasoning behind most organizations like this, so...
What does your character think of the Komai: There's not a whole lot to go on yet. It seems like they're trying to expose Link'd Inc for what they really are, so he approves of that, but that doesn't mean he'll trust them.
Which dream did your character have: Snake will have the dream with the girl! He'll probably be kind of unnerved by it, but he'd already figured it was a good idea to get the hell out of dodge, so it won't change his feelings too much. He wouldn't be quick to share it, but if someone else told him that they had the same dream, he'd commiserate with them.
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: St. Murtel! It's the most suspicious of the three, so he figures that any rebel groups would be investigating things there.
Anything else: Snake will be in St. Murtel during the event stuff, so anyone else whose character is there, hit me up!

[vengeance_driven]

Okay, hitting you up for an official type comment thing. Want to drive around and attempt to figure things out? Because I know Niko wouldn't like someone dredging up bad crap in his head. He can do that all by himself thank you very much.

[diamondslap]

Character(s): aurelia diamondslap
Is your character exploring Emiri: the city and also if emiri has accessible wildlife then she's probably been shooting some of it in the face and keeping trophies
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: she thought the genetics thing was cool at first but now she thinks it's obnoxious and wants, in a completely rational manner, to convert the planet into a mining operation wasteland
What does your character think of the Komai: wants to shoot it in the face
Which dream did your character have: the one with the girl. aurelia isn't used to having bad dreams so she'll be a little put out and try not to show it
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: who cares nuke them all
Anything else: I HAVE BEEN A BIT SPARSE THIS MONTH but i am down for just about anything tbh

[forcefulgift]

Character(s): Adrian Clark forcefulgift
Is your character exploring Emiri: Aye but mostly sticking to Avelle and drinking.
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: They're absolute shit lords.
What does your character think of the Komai: Doesn't know much about them- if they're from this planet they're probably also wankers, but there's the fact they're disrupting the shit lords and that's a-okay.
Which dream did your character have: The awful one with the little boy and everythings perfect and peaceful. He is going to be devastated. Ade hasn't had perfect or peaceful in a long time. It reminded him of things he wanted but can never have because of the monster the facility made him into. It also reminded him of a time he was happy with his parents before they sold him to the government. In the wake of the dream Adrian will be taking a step back and Force will be coming out to play for the rest of the month. Hell on earth.
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: Probably st. murtel on account of the fact that that many medical buildings is clearly fucking shady.
Anything else:

-OKAY SO OPEN CALL FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT 'Force' THREADS. Force is kinda the evil side of Ade. Its his codename, Force is the bad guy, Force is the murderer, Force is the Monster that Ade is always hiding. He's only popped up a couple of times thus far. I'll be super happy if people want to experience this AND/OR people who want to dig a little deeper and try find out wtf is up with the kid.

[incantamentum]

Character(s): Eric Dufosset incantamentum
Is your character exploring Emiri: Oh yes! He's thoroughly enjoying himself.
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: He thinks they're amusing and potentially quite delightful. Even if his own match wasn't interested in the flirtations.
What does your character think of the Komai: Typical freedom fighters, must have their reasons, concern for what's going on.
Which dream did your character have: The bad one where everything is awful. He's used to awful dreams though so he'll shake it off, have a coffee, and find out what everyone else thought.
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: He's not too sure, honestly.
Anything else:

I have nothing specific but just about anything really. I'd be quite happy with him doing anything with anyone.

[willinglychanged]

Character(s): Andrew Warner willinglychanged
Is your character exploring Emiri: Oh yes! Dragging his apparently soulmate/match Tyler around everywhere and doing all the cliche dating things. Its a wonder he didn't adopt a child for them at the same time. Its been sickeningly cute, I'm deciding that now.
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: THAT THEY'RE HILARIOUS and he wants to work for them. Maybe not so much after his dream though.
What does your character think of the Komai: He's not sure! He's a bad judge.
Which dream did your character have:The sad one :( he probably got a case of the sads after and gave Tyler a big hug before moving on with his life.
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: St. Murtel bc that many hospitals is dodge as balls.
Anything else:

UM SO I HAVEN'T RLY DONE MUCH WITH DREW SO I'D BE DOWN FOR ANYTHING. USE HIM AS A TRACKER DOG FOR ALL I CARE.

[whynotgoonmyown]

Hey Drew, guess what your man did on the 15th.

Break into an abandoned building with some chick and find a body.

T'was fun, in a gross way.

[aminerproblem]

Character(s): Megatron aminerproblem
Is your character exploring Emiri: Yes. Harashan for the most part for business reasons and universities. He will occasionally visit Avelle to rendezvous with crewmates.
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: A minor nuisance. Figured the company had a dark side to it, as most idyllic looking planets do. He isn't invested in the planet enough to try to stop them, though.
What does your character think of the Komai: Not his problem (until they lock down the cities). He was perfectly willing to let events play out and leave.
Which dream did your character have: He will be dreaming about a ruined relationship with the crew of the Lost Light, as he's started to find some odd kind of happiness in adventuring with them. Anything that messes with his mind will leave him quite pissed off though, so he will be resistant to letting it affect him too much.
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: He will be in Harashan during the event, and will find the abandoned area that he will figure would make a good entrance to a hiding spot. The business there would also provide good fronts for an organization looking to hide in plain sight.
Anything else: Nothing is hashed out in particular save for some vague holoform shenanigans with Lara. I'm up for pmuch anything that forces him to put aside his lingering xenophobe feelings and care about the wellbeing of someone else.

[daintylegs]

You do care!

[smoothaf]

Character(s): Napoleon Solo (using the name Nathaniel Saunders) smoothaf
Is your character exploring Emiri: mostly harashan and avelle, he hasn't really seen anything of note in st murtel so less time there
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: he's amused by the whole thing, but entirely cynical about the idea of a soul mate. he doesn't ascribe a moral to them and sees them as a giant corporation driven by the need to create profits regardless of good and bad.
What does your character think of the Komai: they need a better method of getting their point across that doesn't involve flashes of random images
Which dream did your character have: the girls and he'd dismiss it until he hears other people dreamt the same thing and then he'd really want to get out of here
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: avelle because st murtel is too restricted and harashan is central, but that also means more cameras to watch those people moving about while everyone gets a free house in avelle so that means plenty of empty buildings available to temporarily squat in
Anything else: he'll be in harashan on the 18th and he'll be taking the flag to copy the symbol to do some discreet digging. i have some vague plans of teaming up with bucky at that stage, but nothing else. it looks like st murtel is winning so he will be ignoring the consensus and following his own theory in avelle

[petridish]

Character: cloney petridish
Is your character exploring Emiri: Yes! Too much time hiding pre-Moira. She poked into all of them early on but dismissed Avelle as boring (ugh, families) and is steering clear of St. Murtel in case they can scientifically tell that she's a clone. So she's mostly in Harashan, taking advantage of some of the classes.
What does your character think of Link'd Inc: Formed on an idiotic premise and she's uneasy about being in their database but the classes have been interesting. The video has her wanting to know what's really going on - she doesn't believe it per se, but doesn't disbelieve it either. She was almost thrown away too.
What does your character think of the Komai: Lern 2 give more info or take better action if you want people to do shit. There's bribery, taking over authority cars, murder! CLONEY IS JUDGING YOUR CRIMINAL EFFICIENCY.
Which dream did your character have: She dreamed of the boy (no, cloney, not that boy) and is Unsettled by it, because she's generally anti-relationships yet also envious of the real Shepard's squaddies being nice enough to pull her up from the side of a ship. Not that she's going to mention it.
Which city does your character believe houses the Komai: Harashan. The station she got the flier for isn't in use now except for the flag reminding people, but they probably didn't go far.
Anything else: I'm actually fighting a Friday deadline (it is Thursday afternoon) and then promptly going away with probably no cell service for the long weekend, so I will be Late and thus no bueno for meatier plot stuff, just incredibly late interpersonal stuff, investigative failure (she was raised a soldier, not a detective), and/or laughing at cloney in her new onesie.
