Player Plots

Player plots are plots that have a large enough reach to require some sort of sign up, or would be difficult for those not directly involved to ignore, or need some sort of NPC/mod involvement.

Examples of player plots include:

Actions that would negatively affect 4-or-more PCs.

Death of a PC.

Death of a named NPC.

Death of more than 1 unnamed NPC at the same time.

Significant property damage.

A PC gaining powers as a result of aligning with a patron Entity.

Anything that could potentially expose the supernatural to the wider world.

Please submit player plots at least a week or two in advance of when you'd like to run it. In the event something happens suddenly that would escalate to a player plot, please let us know as soon as possible.

Just to set the scene, Winter will probably seem kind of awkward and shy to Tamia, and he's working very hard not to come across as creepy. Gloves on both hands, lighter colored clothes than usual, and softer top layers.

He'll bring her a couple brownies to the interview because sweets are nice when you feel bad, and brownies are the best sweets.

His questions:

1. What was Amber like in class?
2. Did she have any friends, or was she mostly alone?
3. What about her caught Tamia's attention?
4. How did Amber react to Tamia's special interest, if she noticed?
5. What does Tamia think happened to her when she disappeared?

1. Oh, whip-smart, not that she'd let you know if she could help it. She was one of those kids who kept her head down in a book, three chapters ahead of the class or off down some rabbit hole she'd found at the library. It wasn't ever that she couldn't grasp the subject; her mind was just always off somewhere else.

2. No...no, she kept to herself. I think it was hard for her to make friends...and sometimes I think she scared them off on purpose. Always ran off to the computer lab the second the bell rang at the end of the day.

3. Those rabbitholes of hers--caught her reading Frankenstein under her desk, and the next week it was a textbook on electrical transmission--ha! You get the idea. Really bright kid. Great mind for science. I turned her onto a couple tech magazines, and then she was always on top of whatever next thing someone had come up with.

4. She was...it helped her. I helped her. I really believe that. But she was a hard nut to crack. Life isn't a Hallmark movie, you know. Anyway, that's not what it's about. It's about making the children's lives better, whatever that looks like for them. And for Amber, that just meant giving that mind of hers something to chew on. I really think she could have been something.

5. I wish I knew. In my heart...I wish I could say she would never have been a runaway, but I'd be lying. It's hard for kids in her situation, even when they have a good foster family and people who love them. Things get hard at home, and there are people out there who will take advantage of a young girl in a bad situation. That's what I'm afraid of, that she fell in with someone she shouldn't have. It's been...it's been so long now without any news of where she went. I'm sorry, I wish I knew more. I wish I could help you find her.

Do you know what her last thing that she was on top of was, before she disappeared? What tech thing?

Were there any signs that things had changed, nearer to when she disappeared? That might suggest she did fall in with someone she shouldn't have?

And is there anyone else in town who might have any ideas of where she might have gone, or care to know if they do find her?

(It's very hard for him not to tell Tamia that Ava is definitely dead. It feels bad having to keep that secret, but it'll feel worse to tell her, Winter thinks.)

1. It was...not Frankenstein, she moved on from that one...what was it....

Oh--prosthetics. That's right, it was sort of odd, but her interests were all over the place. Some new thing that was supposed to work off of brain waves and work like a real hand. I wonder...I don't think she knew anyone who used a prosthetic. I think she just wanted to know how it could work.

2. I couldn't say for sure. She was distant--more distant. Distracted more often, and more obsessed with getting to the computer lab to go online every day than ever. But the school checked up on her browsing history, of course, and the police never made anything of it after she was gone. But then her foster mother and sister got in that accident. I don't know that it had to be anyone else telling her what to do to make her run away after that happened. Maybe she just didn't know how to cope with what happened.

3. There was her foster family, of course...or her foster father. Poor man. I'm sorry, I know there should be more than that for any child...but you're the first person who's asked me about her in years.

(Winter is a kind man for not telling her.)
