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.

<b>Player Name(s)</b>: <b>Character(s) Involved</b>: <b>Dates</b>: When you would like to run the plot. <b>Plot Type</b>: PERSONAL, PAIR, GROUP <b>Plot Summary</b>: Please let us know what you're doing! <b>Questions</b>: Do you have any specific questions for us?

Re: Cherise Cordova

[apocalypsehowmods]

1. She was... smart? Pretty morbid, too, I guess, but you kind of expect that for someone like her, right? Like us. But she was into normal things, too. Like travel and food vloggers. She always wanted to travel. I remember we talked about traveling abroad more than once and she was super into the idea of visiting Japan. She was really into this one vlogger named Lovely Ren. She showed me a fan forum she was part of once. I joined it for a while. It's really a shame what happened to her. Lovely Ren, I mean.

2. Me? No one else I know about. Most of her friends seemed to be online. Mine were, too, honestly. When you're getting shuffled around so much, it's just... easier not to get attached to people you meet in-person. You get to take your online friends with you wherever you go, though. Wow, that's... sorry. That's really depressing now I've said it out loud.

3. Years? Like, it's been a while. A really long while. Sorry.

4. Cherise will share that she has had fairly intense nightmares her whole life. Her parents were murdered when she was a baby, though. She's pretty sure that's what's caused them. She mostly dreams about being killed, even after a lot of therapy. She drinks a lot of coffee and Monster Energy drinks to stay awake.

5. She hasn't kept in touch with most of her previous foster families, but she did hear that a woman who fostered them when they were both very, very young died a few years ago. Unexpected heart attack when she was only in her 40s.

Does she remember the name of the forum?

Were there any online friends Amber spoke of more than others, people she might've been planning to visit, maybe?

Does she remember Amber being into coding?

1. It will take some effort, but Cherise will eventually be able to find the forum. It's an old LJ fan-group with people who posted things about food, travel, and Ren. Fanart, that sort of thing. Overall, it seems pretty innocuous, for the earlier posts with trolls moving in an starting to cause drama well after Cherise would have left the site.

2. She talked about getting to meet Ren one day. I always thought that was more of a... you know? Like... like a parasocial thing? I don't want to- We were kids. Kids get obsessed with internet celebrities sometimes. She didn't mention anyone else, in particular.

3. Oh, yeah. She did some cool layouts with HTML and CSS, but we were little. I don't know much about what she got into later. I wouldn't be surprised if she went into more serious coding. She was also really good with the audio programs that can let you design music? I remember she composed little songs. A lot of them were creepy, but it was definitely impressive. I mean, especially at our age, looking back.

Sounds like she had a real gift. Does Cherise have a copy of any of the songs, or know if they were posted anywhere?

[apocalypsehowmods]

It was a very long time and more than one family ago, so Cherise does not have copies of the music. She'll give Yelena some half-remembered site names to check, though. Digging in the Way Back Machine would lead her to a forum and a user with the name 'darklydreaming' that seems to have posted a number of haunting lullaby tracks that may sound distinctly familiar. Darklydreaming does pop up elsewhere on the internet with more recent posts to Ren fanclubs (and memorial sites), as well as some tech forums where people are discussing sleep technology. Darklydreaming seems to have taken an interest in disparaging the Ludicio Eye Mask as ineffective in inducing lucid dreams. Darklydreaming's internet presence disappears completely after October 2022.

LMK if this needs to go in a new thread, but since Steve's ICly mentioned it in our post-interview debrief log and Yelena's going to look it up, did Copernicus create the Quicksilver radio mentioned downthread, or any similar devices?

[apocalypsehowmods]

While Copernicus doesn't seem to have existed at that point, digging would reveal that one of the people involved in the development of the device does appear to be one Zyrian Steel.
