Greetings, all!

August is coming to a close, and our setting change approaches. At this point, the modteam can confirm our previous projections: September will be the last month of Arc II.

With that in mind, we wanted to offer a few details: both in regards to current log, and the schedule coming up as a whole. The upcoming month is predictably going to be relatively packed, and we appreciate your willingness to bear with us as we move toward the climax—as well as your fantastic contributions to getting us there!

Region 6

As described in the recent log, player characters have escaped the simulation only to find themselves in a new form of confinement: the repurposed site of an intended Region 6. While the location isn't without its own (feathery) diversions, it's entirely understood that many characters will focus first and foremost on escaping—ideally, before the intermediaries apply any of those "permanent methods" they spoke of.

Due to a mix of IC and OOC reasons, we wanted to both warn and confirm: a mass breakout is feasible (and expected to happen)... but not until September 9th. This is due to a combination of reasons. ICly, more resources and information will become available to the PCs partway into September, enabling them to take actions they could not have managed previously. And OOCly, we want to be sure enough downtime exists between major events for everyone—mods and players both—to stay on track. August's events were plot-heavy already, and September will be more so; we're pacing things to avoid having too much too soon.

Which isn't to say player characters can't make attempts—or stockpile resources and prepare to make a move. A breakout opportunity will be provided regardless, but characters certainly don't have to sit and wait for it—if they come up with plans of their own, the actual breakout could result from a combination of things. If you have a question, idea, or request related to this plot, we encourage you to submit it below—or on the feedback page if you prefer.

The intermediaries who travel inside to deliver food and necessary supplies can be spoken to. At this point in time, we won't be threading out discussions with them, but anyone who has specific questions or interactions they want to relay can deposit them below, and receive an OOC summary of the response. They will not appear to take Siddony's warning seriously, and will deflect or refuse all questions regarding his fate.

A look ahead

As the log linked will extend into September, we wanted to provide a rough summary of the plotting ahead. Player actions can and will change the specifics of events, but through a combination of our plotting efforts and yours, this is our current timeline:

August 26-September 9: Detention in Region 6 (log)

September 1: New Arrivals

September 6: A Significant NPC

September 9: An Exodus

September 10-24: Things Escalate

September 25-30: Climactic Plot!

September 31: Arc End

Thanks for your plotting, your participation, and your excellence across the board. We're looking forward to showing you what's next!
