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.

Event Plotting Form:

Eric Dufosset

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.

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.

Oh sounds good!

Tbh Eric will probably just be like... why is a dragon giving me advice?? Before explaining that Magic is all LOVE THE EARTH, THANK YOU GODDESS and totally not a sacrifice of one's soul.

Starflight's not going to be easily convinced. He's going bring 'The Royal Lineage of the SeaWings: From the Scorching to the Present' next time he visits Eric office and explain what happened to Prince Albatross.

Eric will maybe side-eye him pretty hard and talk about the grey nature of magic and how everything isn't black and white.

Ward tag team, at least at the beginning?

[incantamentum]

Sounds good! They can be Team Witch.
