Plot Update: October 16th, 2015

Hey, everyone! It's time for another plot post! The second Echo Incursion event has come and gone, and while various actions have been made against Thunder Corp, certain details still remain in the shadows.

As always, plot events in Raise the Earth generally aren't going to take care of themselves - even phenomena that come to an end will have fallout and lingering after-effects. Take to the streets, investigate, compare notes, and take action!





Recent Events

From October 1st to the 14th, a worldwide Echo Incursion occurred where facets of people's past lives literally materialized in the real world. Much like the dinosaurs before them, these things still remain unless otherwise destroyed, but new incursions seem to have stopped. Unlike the last one, this was not as focused, and spread out over a smaller span of time.

In addition, the details regarding the informant's leak regarding Thunder Corp were made known to the Network at large, though it remains a secret to the public. One individual, Alexandra Ryker, attempted to attack the warehouse where the object was being kept (though her identity isn't known to anyone), but she and her monster were repelled by a combination of Numbered and private security. However, said private security were clad in armor seemingly not of this world...

Game News

A new test drive is coming up, and one of the prompts will be a current game event like last time! For details, check the "Things Coming Soon" tab below. Other than that, we have the rest of October coming up, and the November Activity Check is on the horizon.

Things Coming Soon

The next event is the Factor Industries charity benefit, which we told you about in our last post, and which Sonia Kaiser recently brought to the network's attention here. This will be a general post for your characters to mingle and interact with in person, and which serves as an example of something we want to provide monthly going forward. So if you want to build new CR, this is the place for your characters to be! It will be occurring, ICly, on October 18th (Sunday), and be posted tomorrow, the 17th (Saturday). This event will also be on the new test drive, which will also be going up on Saturday!

The intent of the party is to provide an alternative voice to Thunder Corp's in Locke City, so they will be inviting people to speak (and some indeed have already agreed to do so, including Philip Santorini and Kirara Hoshimoto!), and to show that Numbered care about the repercussions of the invasion and healing old wounds without necessarily having to throw their lot in with Thunder Corp. If you'd like to have characters do so, you can reply there, or, if you'd rather handwave it, just respond here in the space below! We'd really like to encourage characters to take this opportunity, as it gives you a chance for your character to gain some influence and affect public opinion.

They're also seeking entertainment, so you can sign up for that as well! You can submit a character in Sonia's post, or sign up here!

Things Coming Later

Thunder Corp is still operating in the shadows, and they'll be looking to make good on some of the alliances they've tried to make as well as acting against those who have already made moves against them. What's more, November has the potential to turn characters' eyes west towards the Western Territories and New Los Angeles, so keep your eyes open.




Echo Opportunities

  • Using a teleporter for the first time since July 25th gives a plot Echo, even to characters that already received such Echoes before that date.
  • As always, canon recurrences give matching Echoes. Note that these can stack with the upcoming plot echoes as well.




    That's all we have! There's a space below to ask any questions, and to plot or sign up characters to speak in the upcoming event if you're so inclined. We've also added a space for anyone to submit player plots they have cooking up, so if you have something you'd like to organize, you now have a space to do so!

    Doppelganger will be going directly after Nux at least at one point. Sooo. Yes. He'll need some saving |D

    [personal profile] numberedshepherd 2015-10-18 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
    POOR NUX, omg. I'm fine with him getting his ass beat as long as he's not hurt SO badly he dies.

    He could even be initially mistaken for Tony by confused onlookers. Dat reputation smearing all day, every day.
    tony_redgrave: (Default)

    [personal profile] tony_redgrave 2015-10-18 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
    Awwww shit yeah. But don't worry, Damon wants to send a message that no one will forget so he won't kill Nux. Just... leave him messed up I am so sorry sob sob.

    [personal profile] witnessme 2015-10-18 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
    Will he be satisfied to leave after starting some fires and hurting Nux, or will he need to be persuaded or fought off? How would he respond to someone like Lazarus trying to talk him down?
    tony_redgrave: (Your time's done)

    [personal profile] tony_redgrave 2015-10-18 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
    I do know that Richard will attempt to intervene at some point, so he may not be completely content after beating up Nux and starting some fires. Lazarus might not have a lot of luck, but that depends entirely on what is said.
    numberedshepherd: "Catapult" (If his whisper splits the mist)

    [personal profile] numberedshepherd 2015-10-18 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
    Oh! So maybe that attempt going south could be the point at which Richard intervenes, because while I don't expect Lazarus to be able to talk down Dante, he would at least make the attempt to protect his town the only way he knows how. He might even bring a sandwich because as loopy as that is, it sort of worked last time.

    He negotiates with terrorists. :p

    Sooooob I don't think it gonna work this time Lazarus.
    numberedshepherd: "Defector" (But your empire is dissolving)

    [personal profile] numberedshepherd 2015-10-18 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
    But he has to try. And he is not above begging to protect his people from the psychopath arsonist.

    (Really, I'm satisfied with any outcome as long as he makes that effort/hail Mary pass).
    oncedevil: (The long road)

    [personal profile] oncedevil 2015-10-18 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
    I am so for all of this it's going to be horrible and wonderful all at once. Eventually Tony's gonna have to show up and get rid of this guy anyway it's okay.

    Maybe Lazarus can shoot him the message that shit's going down?
    numberedshepherd: "Jesus of the Moon" (I left you behind curled up like a child)

    [personal profile] numberedshepherd 2015-10-18 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
    Hmm... I want him to think that Tony's accessible and willing to come back, but I don't think it would immediately occur to him, even in a moment of desperation. If they talked again between now and the attack on better terms, I'd say it's way more likely that we could make that work! Otherwise, he'll unsuccessfully try to reason with the monster, need to be rescued by someone who has some brute power on their side, and another person (maybe Nathan?) will need to contact Tony. Nux would too, if he's conscious and able to see straight enough to use his Number.

    [personal profile] oncedevil 2015-10-18 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
    Actually that might be a good idea? Nathan's been talking to Tony on and off and they're on good terms. Perhaps he could shoot Tony a message and give him some time to catch up?
    numberedshepherd: "Barleycorn and Toblerone" (I was used to Barleycorn)

    [personal profile] numberedshepherd 2015-10-18 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
    And if Nathan's hiding it's not like he has anything better to do lol. I'm down for that if Misty is!
    solvethepuzzle: (Surprise)

    [personal profile] solvethepuzzle 2015-10-18 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
    Totally down for this. Good thing the boys are still speaking to each other, hm? :D
    oncedevil: (Default)

    [personal profile] oncedevil 2015-10-18 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
    Ahahah right? At least Tony's talking to somebody.
    guitar_case_vagabond: (You Cocky Lil Shit)

    [personal profile] guitar_case_vagabond 2015-10-18 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
    I notice you guys are talking about needing somebody in Shepherd's Haven with some brute force. I got one of those right here.

    Knockdown, drag-out slobberknocker between two rapid-healing nutjobs?
    oncedevil: (Default)

    [personal profile] oncedevil 2015-10-18 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
    :D NOw that may come in very handy 'cause I kinda wanted Doppel to take Tony down too. BECAUSE HE IS A MONSTER.
    guitar_case_vagabond: (Come at me bro)

    [personal profile] guitar_case_vagabond 2015-10-18 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
    Oooh, Big Damn Hero moment as well. I like it.

    Doppel being a total beast suits Raye too because she's been spoiling for a good fight for weeks.
    oncedevil: (Ow)

    [personal profile] oncedevil 2015-10-18 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
    Heell yes! I'm kinda gonna be a horrible person and use this as a recurrence echo opportunity, since I'll likely never have a Vergil sob.

    BUT THAT MEANS RAYE GETS TO FIGHT A REAL DEMON and one at least temporarily with a devil arm. Get that sword back Raye and Tony will be forever grateful.
    guitar_case_vagabond: (I am absolutely the shit)

    [personal profile] guitar_case_vagabond 2015-10-18 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
    MAN, A DEMON AND A TYRANNOSAURUS, THIS HAS JUST BEEN THE BEST FEW MONTHS FOR HER.

    And, yeah, she'll get that sword! ... She might want to keep it though sorry, Tony. I'm kidding.
    oncedevil: (Double trouble)

    [personal profile] oncedevil 2015-10-18 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
    BEST LUCK FOR HER.

    Cough cough. Naw she won't want it it's screamy no one wants to deal with Rebellion not even Dante. |D

    At least it's not Agni and Rudra
    guitar_case_vagabond: (Holy shit dude)

    [personal profile] guitar_case_vagabond 2015-10-18 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
    BEST EVER

    Hahaha... and now I'm picturing Raye coming back the next day and throwing Rebellion through Tony's door. "THIS STUPID SWORD WON'T SHUT THE FUCK UP. TAKE IT BACK."
    oncedevil: (Blood on my sword)

    [personal profile] oncedevil 2015-10-18 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
    AKLlksajlkgj WHERE IS THE LIE THOUGH. Beautiful :'D.

    Poor Raye, thought she got the spoils of war but instead got a stupid screamy sword.
