Plot Update: November 7th, 2015 - Part 1
Hey everyone, it's time for... part of a plot post! We're still scheming and working some things out in response to recent happenings, but we thought that in this case, some expediency was prudent so the event still seemed timely and relevant. Without further ado, let's get to what's going to be going on!
Things happening soon!
Tomorrow, November 8th, news will hit international exposure of a phenomenon occurring in the area of New Los Angeles since the end of October. In this time, a new kind of monster has been appearing in New LA, in that... well, they're monsters. Specifically in response to the mind-set at the end of October, and the location, ethereal-looking creatures resembling Universal Horror film monsters will be appearing.
Vampires, "Frankensteins", the Wolfman, mummies, the creature from the black lagoon; all those old staple horror movie archetypes are walking the earth in New LA, terrorizing the populace. However, while they may look like the actual monsters, they'll appear somewhat ethereal, colored in greyscale as they appeared on old black and white film, as well as somewhat transparent. After being defeated, they'll dissolve and appear as if they faded into thin air. Furthermore, a werewolf or vampire's bite will not turn a victim into one of them, and mummies will not be able to curse people.
This will all come with a signal post that will be stickied and go up tomorrow, for players to use as a catch all. Please note that the "monsters" are from a specific era of film and that we would prefer that people use those which are public domain or generics in the style of those monsters, rather than ones from specific, appable canons. In other words, no Twilight vampires or the monsters from the Brendan Frasier Mummy films, but something in the style of Bela Lugosi or Boris Karloff.
Finally, at the same time, certain parties will be speaking on the network. For those that signed up to be informants several months back, they will see a message pointing towards New Los Angeles. Additionally, those that were approached by Thunder Corp and didn't refuse their offer (or did anything to cut it off later) will receive an audio player with a message pointing towards the same. Please keep an eye out for all of these things!
Things happening later!
This also regards New Los Angeles, in that construction in the battle stricken city has ramped up, meaning things will be changing regarding the coming months. Naturally, construction areas may be where your character encounters the above! Please keep your eyes open for more regarding this game location!"
Special Note: Since the plot involves New Los Angeles, and Vermini and Vermedi are common there, we're reminding everyone of their presence and that they can, in fact, provide a plot echo!
Echo Opportunities:
Encountering a monster gives a plot Echo, once per character.
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.
Encountering Vermini or a Vermedi for the first time since July 25th will also provide one plot echo. Just as with the teleporter, this has now reset, and you will receive an echo from them even if you had before now.
As always, canon recurrences give matching Echoes. Note that these can stack with the upcoming plot echoes as well.
A more comprehensive plot post addressing other upcoming things, and the fallout of recent events, will be coming soon as well. Please look forward to it!
