It's event time!
November

Hello everybody! It's time for an event and our first big player plot! Everything you need to know is below, and since there's a lot to do with this one, feel free to respond to this post with your plotting comments. (There's a form below to help with that).

November 18th and Onward

At the beginning of the month, the crew disembarked the Moira to gather supplies on Caducus Primary. The natives were friendly and accommodating, though strict in what they did or didn't allow, and everything was going as planned. On the twelfth, the crew received a half-veiled threat to leave the planet. The representative reiterated that the crew had four days to finish up and leave. They made no further contact and didn't pressure the Moirans to leave; all seemed well.

By the 18th, two days after the deadline, the natives will abruptly begin to force any lingering crew off the planet. The time has passed, and they waited longer, but feel as if their goodwill is being abused. Any and all crew members still on planet will be roughly seized and extracted. If you fight back, they will attempt to subdue you, and if you go willingly, they will be no less rough.

The Glass Shatters

Due to a bit of bad luck, and a whole lot of aggressive handling, crew member Bruce Banner will be triggered. The Hulk, unfortunately, is now causing enough damage and force that the fragile and brittle buildings and sculptures are breaking. The buildings begin to sway and bow, glass pieces the size of cars and houses raining down on civilians and crew members as they crack and give way.

In the chaos and panic, the on-planet Ingress is damaged, resulting in a wave of energy strong enough to penetrate the planet's core. The brittle planet, much like the glass that adorns it, starts to crack open and the natives issue a planet-wide evacuation. Within 48 hours, all crew standing anywhere on the Moira with a view of the planet will stand witness as it splinters open, and then folds into itself. The only survivors are those that made it onto the Moira, a transporter, or one of Caducus Primary's many evacuation shuttles.

"I am the keeper of fragile things and I destroy what is mine."

For this event, characters can choose to do any number of things. There will be the opportunity to help Clark Kent try to stop the Hulk, creating safe areas for civilians to get out of the way of falling glass, coordinating rescue and evacuation efforts, and building a cage in the cargo hold of the Moira that will be used to hold the Hulk until he cools down.

Thán

[hohnkai]

[Comment here if you want any interaction with this captain. It can be handwaved or threaded, just let me know what you need.]

[neveroutwrenched]

Ratchet's going to be very insistent about talking to one of the captains about the allegedly stolen statues. He has A GREAT DEAL OF QUESTIONS.

Manasseh

[galalith]

[ Comment here if you want any interaction with the Navigator. It can be handwaved or threaded, whatever suits your preferences! ]

[petrifiedshadow]

I would love to do a thread with Manasseh and Starflight some time, probably after the event?

Cúrre

[hownkai]

[ Cúrre will be heading Medbay and ALL medical staff to attend all injured as they are brought aboard the Moira. Comment here if you want interaction with this captain. It can be handwaved or threaded. ]

[incantamentum]

odd question but does Eric count as medical staff in this instance?

Bruce Banner

[hyperkinesia]

Character(s): Bruce Banner hyperkinesia
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: lol um...
Safe Zones: NO ZONE IS SAFE WHEN HE'S AROUND
Rescue and Evacuation: nope
Cage Building: no but good luck for those who will

I'm basically just commenting to let people know I'm up for anything! Want your character to run into the Hulk? Want them to try and fight him? Or maybe run away while the Hulk chases them down? Want your character maimed or killed? I'm up for any of it!

ALSO! I'd be open to someone being around and witnessing his transformation. Someone who isn't a castmate/doesn't know about the Hulk. :>

Re: Bruce Banner

[petridish]

would u like a xenophobe to see him transform C:

Eric Dufosset

[incantamentum]

Character(s): Eric Dufosset incantamentum
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: No. He'll be running support instead.
Safe Zones: Yes! Eric happens to be a witch and as such gifted in warding/creating personal save zones? He'll be able to throw up a couple of physical wards in the beginning to help with debris and such. Kind of tempted to have him try throw up a blood ward/impenetrable ward as protection against a big ol' building but its really exhaustive and he might pass out if anyone fancied playing that kind of thing out?

Rescue and Evacuation: He will potentially need rescuing/evacuating himself because he'll be trying to help a lot of people escape!

Cage Building: If anyone wants him to help weave spells into the cage he'll happily oblige. But he won't be too happy about caging someone up.

[petrifiedshadow]

Starflight is going to be helping evacuate people, so maybe he could get Eric out of a jam.

Also if he catches Eric using magic he will probably get really concerned because on his world magic users lose some of their soul every time they use their powers, and usually wind up evil and violent. Most stories about magic users end on an extremely murderous note. Starflight may not confront him about it now, but it's certainly something he would follow-up on.

Adrian 'Force' Clark

[forcefulgift]

Character(s): Adrian Angrian 'Force' Clark forcefulgift

Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: UM IDEK. Probably not? Part of him is like 'well Clark is kinda hot' and then part of him is like WHY DON'T I HELP THE BIG GREEN THING INSTEAD BC I ALSO DO NOT LIKE THIS GLASS PLANET?

Safe Zones: Ade will be forming safe zones for himself. I.E He will be projecting a bubble around himself to stop from getting stabbed. Your character can happen to be in this bubble with him if they want but it might lead to some thinly veiled threats if they try to tell anyone else he's a big ol' mutant.

Rescue and Evacuation: idk if your character looks vulnerable and innocent he might grab them and fly them to the ship. Probably wants them to be unconscious though.

Cage Building: hell no. Don't even let him near the cage, he'll dismantle it. Poor green monster!


Real Talk - Okay so I kinda want someone to figure out Ade is using some kind of power during this event and confront him about it? Just because he's only used it openly once so far and basically threatened the other person about it.

I also wouldn't mind him being forced into a position where he has to be the good guy / not wanting to see someone otherwise innocent die? I mean Ade isn't a 'bad guy' but in the X-Men spectrum of things he'd be brotherhood. It'd be kinda funny for him to be forced into a position where he actually puts some of the things they've been teaching him at Xavier's into practise.

I'd like some kind of tentative friendship to come out of all of this really because he's been a massive douche-canoe so far and doesn't really have friends.

[petridish]

What does his bubble look like? Because cloney here could see him using it, but depending on its appearance, she might just assume he's using tech or abilities from her own world :D;;; Barriers are a pretty common Thing there.

[metabee]

Character(s): Metabee metabee
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: You bet!! Metabee's gonna be all over the hero business.
Safe Zones: Nope.
Rescue and Evacuation: He might be able to help here, depending on how things go with the Hulk. He's small and fast so he could get in and out of places other's couldn't. He could also help with directing evacuees if need be
Cage Building: Pfffttt no. Please don't let him help. Unless helping includes shouting at the engineers until they finish.



Character(s): Starflight petrifiedshadow
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: Ha hahahahaha ha. No. Unless someone physically drags him there.
Safe Zones: He could certainly help put up fortifications and barriers and stuff, but he's mainly going to be on the rescue team.
Rescue and Evacuation: Yep. This is where Starflight would be the most useful, being able to fly and carry at least one human at a time. Plus his natural hunting skills would help find people who are trapped in the debris. He's going to be prioritizing flying injured people to the ships, so there's a good chance for interaction with any medics.
Cage Building: Unfortunately, Starflight does not have the skillset required to take the one job that would allow him to stay on the ship. Alas.

[petridish]

Cloney will be doing evac and later on medbay - good time for her to WTF a dragon?

Eggsy Unwin and David 8

[commontype]

Character(s): Eggsy commontype | David 8 not_too_close
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: Eggsy is going to try to stop Bruce and get killed. First time doing this in a game, so I'm excited. David won't be helping.
Safe Zones: N/A
Rescue and Evacuation: N/A
Cage Building: Eggsy will die early on, but David will be around for poking. He's also going to use his android brain and try to help build the hulk a cage.

[forcefulgift]

bruv wot r u doing

Tron

[fight4theusers]

Character(s): Tron fight4theusers
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: Yes please! Tron is a fighter and security program by nature. I would love for him to see Bruce's dark side so he can possibly talk to him about his Rinzler-glitches later on.
Safe Zones: He's more the fighting type, but he'll help get civilians to safety.
Rescue and Evacuation: Can help of course!
Cage Building: Not his forte, really.

[hohnkai]

This captain will be helping civilians get to safety, if Tron wants to help him do it?

Ratchet

[neveroutwrenched]

Character(s): Ratchet neveroutwrenched
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: I would be so down for that....Ratchet hasn't met Bruce so this is bizarrely not going to surprise him. Or at least not the who . The Ingress left Ratchet with some serious firepower, please let him use it.
Safe Zones : He'll leave that up to other people.
Rescue and Evacuation: If help is needed, he would assist in that dept.
Cage Building: It's not where he would focus his attention, but if necessary.

[peridork]

Please use Mr. Zurkon for this event I need it

Peridot

[peridork]

Character(s): Peridot peridork
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: HHHHELL NO )B
Safe Zones: Lmfao absolutely not
Rescue and Evacuation: Every gem for herself.
Cage Building: YES she can actually help with this since it keeps her relatively out of danger and also she's a pretty dang good technician.

Peridot had no idea that her roommate could turn into a huge green rage monster, this is alarming to the nth degree

[forwardmomentum]

would peridot like some help getting off this fucking planet

SAVE THE WORLD WITH SUPERMAN (except not)

[heliakal]

Character(s): Clark Kent heliakal
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: OPENS ARMS
Safe Zones: Clark is going to be trying to help people get to the safe zones initially!
Rescue and Evacuation: He'll probably be too engaged in the fight to be much help with the rescuing, but he will definitely get between the Hulk and any civilians/evac ships when he can.
Cage Building: HULK PUNCHING X(

OKAY SO let's talk fight co-ordination! I'm totally up for teamwork or not as everyone sees fit. If you wanna thread something out, hit me up! I'm always up for teamwork while fighting, and rescues - or even things like other characters dragging Clark out of a ditch when the Hulk has knocked some sense out of him.

Otherwise, feel free to handwave
a) Helping Clark fight the Hulk - just lmk and we can figure out what went down
b) Clark being too busy trying to rescue civilians or being pitched halfway across the world or w/e to be there when your character goes for the Hulk. Basically you don't have to acknowledge him while engaging the Hulk unless you want to!

I'd like some people to see him clearly/figure out who he is, but not everyone is going to know his ~secret identity~.

[whatdidisay]

this is the wrong account but gamora is ready to put her STABBING SKILLS to use hey clark let's team up

[whatdidisay]

Character(s): Ivan Vorpatril whatdidisay
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: nope, ivan knows when he's outclassed
Safe Zones: yes!
Rescue and Evacuation: yes!! he's probably going to get injured at some point -- falling glass? whatever -- and have to go back to the moria at which point he will be doing his PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER duties and setting up some oddly efficient way for people to check in and find each other? he can do his job and he can still do it while putting as little effort towards it as possible!!
Cage Building: nah, he's got no skills for building things sorry guys.

[neveroutwrenched]

what i'm hearing is ivan is useless.

[gamora]

Character(s): gamora gamora
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: HELL YES SHE IS
Safe Zones: only if she gets thrown into a group of people trying to do this and gets roped into it for a bit before she goes back to doing what she does best
Rescue and Evacuation: nah
Cage Building: nah

i don't think gamora's going to die, if only because she's died like 2.5 times in canon already and will be old hat by then and death by hulk is just embarrassing. but she does have wolverine-level regeneration, so if you need someone to appear horribly maimed to scare the shit out of your character, come find me.

[forwardmomentum]

help him evacuate refugees, gamora

[seeingscarlet]

Character(s): Wanda Maximoff seeingscarlet
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: Maaaaaaybe? Wanda is still freaked out by what happened the last time she went poking around in the Hulk's head. She won't want to engage out of fear of accidentally making things even worse.
Safe Zones: Initially she might, but her powers are more suited to rescuing people.
Rescue and Evacuation: Definitely! Wanda will also keep a psychic ear out throughout the entire crisis for anyone who's been buried under rubble because of reasons. Let me know if you want her to swoop in and grab your character.
Cage Building: Wrench goes where? :S

[not_too_close]

David won't be out on the planet very much after everything happens, but he'll be helping with the cage building. They could meet up there or maybe she can swoop in and rescue him when everything starts happening and he's on his way back to the ship?

Clone Shepard

[petridish]

Character(s): cloney I MEAN SHEPARD petridish
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: Not really! She'll be first witness and will give everyone the headsup, but she's got priorities below!
Safe Zones: Nope, not her forte. Alas, if only she could do biotic barriers...
Rescue and Evacuation: Yes! She's got Shepard's loud voice though sadly not her leadership to direct people places and can carry out the injured. Hypothetically she can destroy debris but that would probably just make more glass shards :|
Cage Building: Not her thing.

Cloney'll be first to see the Hulk transform and will give everyone the headsup about him, before going to evac people when it becomes clear she can't do too much (out without her gun again, still won't have an omni-tool). Later she'll probably end up in medbay on the ship having to WTF her way through basic first aid?

[imaginary_wife]

Character(s): Niko Bellic vengeance_driven
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: No
Safe Zones: He'll assist in that if asked to, probably by making room in the cargo bay.
Rescue and Evacuation: I would really love some dramatic vehicle chase sequences. Though I'll probably need to know what sort of vehicles he can find.
Cage Building: He's going to be baffled the Hulk even exists because no one warned him.

Character(s): Meh Yewll imaginary_wife
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: No
Safe Zones: Yes
Rescue and Evacuation: Medical assistance
Cage Building: Yes if allowed

[not_too_close]

The vehicles on the planet for any dramatic car chases; they're surprisingly sturdy but can't go over 50mph. Thought I'd drop this in for you. He could also use the transporters if he needs something like that.

And for plotting, David is going to be working on the cage building if Meh wants to do something with him there?

[forwardmomentum]

Character(s): Miles Vorkosigan forwardmomentum
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: no, Miles is way too sensible to put his soft shitty body in the line of fire here.
Safe Zones: yes! Miles will be doing everything he can to get civilians and fellow crew out of the way. I'd be super down for him to team up with anyone for this.
Rescue and Evacuation: also this! Miles will be pretty hellbent on making sure as many people as possible get off the planet. Ditto also this for teaming up with anyone!
Cage Building: NOPE he will be dead by then.

so Miles will be dying during the fight -- death by falling glass! Clark is going to try to save him and fail, but if anyone else wants to bear witness to Miles' death let me know.

he also ran a high-pressure rescue/evac mission not too long ago in his own world, which didn't go 100% well, so if anyone would be down for Miles having some kind of brief PTSD flashback that'd be fun to do.

likewise if anyone wants Miles for anything hit me up!

[whynotgoonmyown]

So maybe I shouldn't because lol just started reading the Vorkosigan Saga and Miles isn't even born yet because I'm reading in the in-universe chronological order so spoilers, but screw it, I'm in for Tyler catching Miles during his PTSD flashback.

[stompadour]

Character(s): Jasper stompadour
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: Yes! Jasper loves a good punch-up, although this will ultimately result in her getting poofed, because she won't give up until Hulk puts her down. Starflight is going to be the lucky winner who picks up her gem during evacuation and takes it back to the ship after the fact only to discover that this nice shiny piece of treasure is actually a large angry woman – feel free to assume she is dead if you saw her explode into a cloud of smoke!
Safe Zones: nope
Rescue and Evacuation: nope
Cage Building: nope! she'd probably be helpful in this task but she's also probably going to be out of commission by then.

[backsassin]

Character(s): Zam Wesellbacksassin
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: Zam will try to help. “Try” being the operative word here. Actually, they’ll probably need a rescue from someone else, since there’s a definite possibility that they’ll be losing one of their limbs (AGAIN ;A;) during their fight with the Hulk, and they’ll need someone to help them to the medbay or a safe zone.
Safe Zones: Probably won’t be helping with this. Not enough excitement for them :T
Rescue and Evacuation: Honestly, they’ll probably be too busy suffering from limb loss OTL
Cage Building: See above

[forwardmomentum]

miles will be running on evac and safe zone stuff, so if they need a hand getting back to the ship, miles can probably help! he can't carry her or anything, he is Too Small, but provided zam can still walk he can definitely help them along -- or he can get someone else to help him with zam and do a threeway thread thing, whatever you're cool with! but miles is combat and command trained so this is basically his Jam.

[pallantias]

Character(s): Athena pallantias
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: Nah. She’ll want to, but she’ll be too busy evacuating people once it becomes clear that the planet’s about to be destroyed.
Safe Zones: I don’t know if she’ll help build them, but she’ll help get civilians and crew members to them.
Rescue and Evacuation: Absolutely! Her armor means she’s much better prepared to deal with falling glass and other hazards, so she’ll be helping out all those squishy civilians and possibly other crewmembers.
Cage Building: Nope
