6.2 Event Plotting

6.2 Event Plotting

OOC info

Ah, month two is upon us. The sun is hot, and the sand is hot. And the baths? The baths are also hot.

There will be no event post on the main comm. Instead, make your own logs to include these prompts, and any other prompts you want to add. There will be a mini-event posted on the 15th.

Use the happenings form to report on what your character’s been up to! Did you break something? Did you get into a screaming match in the middle of town? Spill the tea! Everyone’s thirsty for gossip.

Post any bulletins to the bulletin board. Remember that this is on [community profile] wellcomms community. And remember that you can annoy everyone in town by using your walkie talkie! What will your character do with all this power?!
Plotting/CR form

Fill out as much or as little of this form as you like:


New this month

At the Staywell

The dining hall features one long table and the same meals every day: a nice, continental breakfast, sandwiches for lunch, and chili with cornbread for dinner.

Throughout the month, new books appear on shelves in the hotel lounge:
Heart of the Beast
Shadow of the Scorpionbear
Love Under Surveillance
Werewolf’s Wicked Whispers
Forbidden Fangs
The Detective and the Double Agent
The Perfect Alibi: Creating a New You
Beauty and the Beast Within: Finding Balance
Witness Protection for the Soul
The Zombie’s Handbook for Mindful Living
All of the books are terrible, as usual. Shadow of the Scorpionbear is particularly steamy, and has overly detailed descriptions of Scorpionbear genitalia. Definitely not suitable for kids.

Also, the pool is back in operation! It's full of refreshing, cool water, stocked with pool chairs and towels and also fun pool floaties shaped like scorpions.

The General Store

The General Store's stocked up with cowboy-themed memorabilia. This month, the special is: water guns! They can shoot up to 8 feet and aren't very powerful.

Around town

The diner’s special for the month: pecan pie! Again.

The diner is somewhat operational again. There is food, more than just pecan pie. But no matter what you order, the waiter brings you either: sloppy joes, a big pile of fries covered in jam, or a single ketchup flavored popsicle. If you want the pecan pie, you'll need to serve yourself from the display on the counter.

When you visit the few other locations in town, you’ll find the employees friendly and welcoming, although they may say some strange things, in addition to the handful of phrases they usually say:
The receptionist: "If you want to stay cool, why not take a dip in the pool?" He does not appear to notice that this rhymes.
Owner of the General Store: “Now don't you be testing those guns in here! Take 'em outside, eh?”
The bartender: Silently slides you a drink you did not ask for.
The waiter: "Well hi, honey, long time no see! Long time no— long time no see!" And he serves you a milkshake of... questionable flavor.
The gravedigger: Pointedly straightening up offerings on graves.
The sheriff: He's on high alert this month. Don't cross him.

The weather

It is hotter than hell this month, although, who really remembers how hot hell is? Only the very early morning hours are tolerable: the moment the sun rises, it bakes the desert through, sending heat shimmering up off the dirt, frying any plants to a crisp.

Most normal desert animals are noticeably absent from the actual desert this month. Instead, in an effort to beat the heat, they seem to be trying to hang out indoors. Better check your boots carefully this month: there's a high chance of scorpions in your toes and rattlesnakes in your towels or your bed. Is that a jackrabbit in your closet?

The cistern

The cistern is no longer where it was initially found. If you try to break through the same walls folks have broken through in previous cycles to find the cistern, you will just find the escape rooms from the TDM.

If you search below the graveyard, you'll find something that looks awfully familiar. The cistern is down there--if you dig deep, really deep.

WANTED: YOU!
Content warnings: criminal "justice" system, imprisonment
If you've been here in town for a while, you might recognize the flurry of posters that seem to have appeared more or less overnight:

Wanted posters.

Hundreds of them, each with a drawing of a character and a supposed crime they're wanted for. There can be as many wanted posters as you like, and as many crimes as you like. The crimes can be real, or made up. They can be serious, or not. The drawing of your character doesn’t even have to be very good.

Your wanted posters could have your given name, preferred name, or it might give you a new outlaw name, reminiscent of criminals in the Old West.

The lists of crimes are bad enough, but this time, whenever someone gets close enough to a poster—any poster at all—the little drawing starts talking. Your wanted posters will confess, mournfully or joyfully or angrily, to every single crime listed there. They'll lament about what terrible criminals they are, and list out the punishments they think they should receive. If your own poster is talking to you, expect a string of vicious pointed insults.

Given that these things are everywhere, you may be tempted to take them down, and you certainly can! There are consequences, but it's probably worth it, right? When you take a poster down, it comes away in strips and shreds that slowly form into a vicious sharp-edged little paper bird. Once it's formed, anywhere from five minutes to an hour later, it'll hunt you down and start divebombing you. The more posters you tear down, the more little paper birds will flock together to try and cut you to shreds.

Even worse: the sheriff seems to have resumed his old role this month. If you tear down a poster, expect a very disappointed bipedal coyote to place you under arrest. The other wanted posters will rat you out, shouting for the sheriff wherever you are. Tearing down a poster is definitely worse than all of the other crimes you've committed! Where do you get locked up? The bathhouse, of course! You'll get chained up in those rusty manacles chained to the walls in the locker rooms and the baths themselves until someone sets you free. If you're still locked up after 24 hours, the sheriff will let you out. If you've been kind to the sheriff in the past (if you've gotten tail wags from him), your sentence will be reduced to 12 hours.

You gain one memory point for each time you interact with this prompt, up to 3 points.

Feel free to mock up a wanted poster if you'd like to!

tl;dr:
  • There are wanted posters of your character around town!
  • They confess their crimes, and do so pointedly when the character their of is nearby.
  • If you tear down a poster, they turn into paper birds that attack you with papercut-worthy beaks. The sheriff will also try to arrest you.
  • If he succeeds, you'll be strung up in the bathhouse for up to 24 hours.

Under siege
Content warnings: monsters, killing monsters/animals
The desert is always a deadly place, but this month, that danger is more present than ever. It's teeming with far more than just life: the desert is full of monsters, and they aren't content staying out in that arid wasteland when there's so much food to be had in town.

This month, the town is under siege.

What at first looks like innocent plant life might suddenly lunge at you with spines sharp enough to kill: living cacti, with paralyzing tentacle-like roots and awful spines, determined to suck all the blood and moisture out of you. They're particularly active at night, and if they successfully catch someone, they'll bloom in a beautiful flush of red flowers.

Circling the sky are massive vultures. They look small until their shadows come sweeping over the town. With six-foot wingspans and serrated beaks, these vultures are just as happy to scavenge the dead as they are to create their own fresh food. They'll circle in groups, particularly during the day, and descend on anyone unlucky enough to be caught alone or in a small enough group. Watch out for flesh-rending beaks and talons.

Even the ground isn't safe. In a strange patchwork around town, the ground suddenly softens under your feet, bottoming out from under you. You're caught in something like a sand whirlpool with massive clamping jaws at its center: a gigantic antlion, ready to snap you in half.

Surrounding the town in packs of ten or more are strange, six-legged creatures. They're the size and general shape of little terriers, white-furred and pretty cute to look at until they open their jaws—far too big for those tiny bodies—and surround you. These things are the most vicious of all the monsters. They howl like coyotes, yap and bark to each other, and move as a single flowing unit to systematically take prey down and then tear them apart. Good luck if you get surrounded by these creatures.

The strangest thing about all of these monsters is that when you kill one, it drops stuff:
1. Semi-precious gems: amethyst, jade, garnet, opal, onyx
2. Rusted weapons: swords, halberds, maces, axes
3. Fidget spinners in funky colors

You'll find one item per monster slain.

There's also a slim chance they might drop something better, like good weapons, armor, or items from home. You can assume you get any of the above, or ask us in a comment to check if your character finds any better loot! You can kill as many monsters and find as much loot as you'd like.

tl;dr:
  • Monsters attack! Living cacti, murderous vultures, antlions under the sand, and six-legged terriers that are cute until they're not will attack from the desert.
  • They drop loot when defeated, either common loot listed in the prompt, or comment below to see if your characters gets anything good!

1. if someone filled the water guns with cistern acid, would the acid just eat through the guns or could they be used as weapons?

2. is the questionable milkshake flavor blood

Could rusted weapons be restored by someone who knows what they're doing?

seance time

[personal profile] d9x 2024-06-17 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Hello, mods! You're never going to believe who has been tricked into helping with a seance. For the purpose of proving it isn't ghosts. Obviously.

TLDR: Palamedes, Cecelia, and Dax are going to attempt a radio-based seance in the last week of 6.2 in the graveyard.

1. Dax will have various radios set up, set to any channels that have previously produced weird voices, and any channels that have previously picked up any type of signal (like the weird cistern noises and Kokomo). She'll also be actively scanning the every frequency she has access to. Do they pick anything up? Does there seem to be any connection to the 'seance bait' Palamedes is putting out?

2. Dax's focus will be on the technology itself. She'll be trying to figure out if the 'ghosts' are having any effect on the devices themselves, etc, if there's any way to narrow in or amplify the signal of the voices, etc. Does she get anything? (Relatedly, Cecelia is very sensitive to hearing electricity-output changes in the walkies that Dax and Palamedes may not otherwise notice).

Arthas will be doing a combination of hunting for a good sword and volunteer guard duty, so he's going to be killing all kinds of things once something drops a rusted weapon, but heavy on the antlions because I, personally, hate antlions lmao

Barnabas will be hunting down monsters and killing any that dare to cross his path. Because he's like that. Anyway, he will probably be aiming to take out vultures specifically, since aerial enemies are certainly difficult and a great danger besides.

Ademnet Daigonis | OC

[personal profile] lord_daigonis 2024-06-01 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Your name: Tzvia
Your pronouns: she/her
Contact: [plurk.com profile] tzviaariella

Character name: Ademnet

General ideas or plans for the month: He’s still trying to figure out what the heck is going on, and he's going to stay indoors as much as possible to escape the heat. His favorite places to hole up will be the Staywell or the Cactus Pad—this place may be miserable, but at least the beer is free!

Event ideas:
WANTED: Considering one of the few things Ademnet knows about himself is that he is/was under a death sentence for theft, he’s going to react very strongly to seeing posters of his face plastered around the town calling him out as a thief and tear down as many as he can. He’s going to wind up in manacles in the bathhouse early on, possibly more than once—and considering he’s not a fan of animals, either, he’s definitely not getting out early for good behavior. If you want to learn a lot of fantasy cuss words in a very short time span, feel free to come visit him there!
UNDER SIEGE: One of Ademnet’s first acts in Wellstone will be to hoard knives from the diner/dining area, and he’s quite skilled with them. He won’t go hunting for monsters, but if he sees anyone in danger, whether he knows them or not, he’ll step in.

Wanted poster: The posters are all over, but they seem to be especially concentrated on around the entrance to the Cactus Pad:

(sketch credit to beyondplusultra on Tumblr)
If you stop to look at them, his sketch will defiantly admit everything listed and a string of other crimes besides (murder, attempted kidnapping, betrayal, abandonment, lying, inadequacy...they sound less and less like actual crimes as the speech goes on), before concluding with, "so string me up if you dalpoundin' got to. I deserve it."

[personal profile] icecrown 2024-06-01 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Your name: Min
Your pronouns: he/him
Contact: [plurk.com profile] koutenko | koutenko @ discord

Character name: Arthas Menethil
General ideas or plans for the month:
Arthas is mysteriously comfy in this heat wave and will be in his leather and heavy cloak. In fact, if you stand very close to him, it's like being in an air-conditioned room.

He is not unwilling to put this to use; if something needs doing outside, he's willing to take care of it.
Event ideas:
💀 WANTED: Since this is really Judgy Whispers 2.0, he is not going to take this very well, and things will escalate quickly. He was already REALLY NOT FEELING IT, so when posters start appearing with accusations like MURDERER, KINGSLAYER, OATHBREAKER, and other crimes particularly horrifying to someone who still thinks he's a paladin, he's gonna start ripping posters down and get his ass thrown in bathhouse jail by the dog. There will also be a lot of silly ones containing childish-sounding non-crimes like PDA, which he will probably use to try and discredit all of them. This will not happen gracefully, and the noble entitlement will probably jump out. Rich people don't go to jail??

💀 UNDER SIEGE: Arthas will take the edge off his Death Knight murder-kill urge on some nasty monsters! The mods have blessed my World of Warcraft character with epic loot drops, so I gotta!! When he discovers that these things drop loot, he is going to be actively hunting them in order to get them to drop better weapons. He doesn't care if he has to lead the war band or if someone else wants to do it; he's fine with that, too. He nominated himself as Well's official paladin guardian when no one was looking, which is great. Arthas deciding it's his job to protect something has definitely never ended badly before. :')
Wanted poster:
The posters are all over! Most of them have his full name on them. Some of them say Lich King, but only other people will ever see those. The image looks like someone took a photo, except he's wearing armour instead of what he's been wearing in Well. His image gleefully confesses to the crimes. The punishments he suggests sound more like he's daring people to come and get him and less like he believes he actually deserves them. Alas, I am too lazy to photoshop something tonight so you can use your imagination lmao

🐝 Chronically ill and perpetually slow, backtags are life but I can also kick things ahead if you need!

Character name: Sokta | Original Character | [personal profile] cynomorpha
General ideas or plans for the month:
💀 Cleaning up my backtags, if there's anything you want to kick along/handwave to move forward, just let me know.
💀 Especially with the wanted posters up... Sokta will have a much better idea of what is going on for himself.
💀 With that in mind, he needs to talk to the other Necromancers/Etc so he can flesh out some things in his mental map. No one is going to recognize the god he's attached to, but we'll make it work. IDK maybe he will just put up a bulletin about GHOST DOG? just to get things moving.
💀 He is also happy to help with the cistern work out in the graveyard.
Event ideas:
WANTED
💀 Sokta is very wanted. The poster will be saying the direct translation of his name "Creeping Dust", just in case anyone wants to talk about that. Might use it as a jumping off point for a memory in that reeeeeeegard.
💀 In relationship with the memory he regained from the shimmers, where he found the occult rites of the Ghost Dog, he now has a decent idea about what's going on.
💀 I made the mockup of his actual crimes but in terms of silly stupid shit: asshole, killjoy, fuckboy.
💀 He is very capable of ignoring this.

UNDER SIEGE
💀 He does have combat abilities but doesn't remember them. Maybe someone could team up with him and see what they can figure out. Can someone get him a knife?
Are you planning to create a log this month? I take it back, I will include a few things on a shared log with him and India, but she'll be the majority.

Wanted poster:
Character name: India McCray | The Elementals | [personal profile] sightstosee
General ideas or plans for the month:
👁️ In general, India is freaked out. She can see that there's a lot of weird shit in the town but she doesn't remember why she can see it. Doesn't know what to do with it. Could really use a distraction.
👁️ If you want to know what she is seeing, she can absolutely draw it for you. Yikes.
👁️ Will be at the pool with some floaties for certain. Do you want to play at the pool? Is absolutely down for a water gun fight.
👁️ Also likely to show up at the saloon for cw: underage drinking. She's not a heavy drinker but she would like a sherry to steady her nerves... what do you mean it's all whiskey, yuck???
👁️ Will check out the books and be unimpressed, but is probably going to keep reading them anyway for something to do.
👁️ Get her a needle and thread and she can start embroidering people's clothes for them!
Event ideas:
WANTED
👁️ She's a child she hasn't really committed any serious crimes. So I went more with "perceived" crimes.
👁️ She actually does remember her uncomfortable relationship with her mother, and will be upset by this accusation. She is likely to tear it down, maybe someone could give the sheriff some treats on her behalf so she doesn't have to be in bath house jail for too long?
👁️ There may be like a single wanted poster somewhere that says her crime is eating eyeballs. If you bring this to her, she too will be aghast. Gross! Yikes?!

UNDER SIEGE
👁️ She doesn't really have combat abilities (although, has slashed some nasty spirits with a knife and doesn't remember doing it).
👁️ Might sit around and sketch creatures instead.
👁️ If someone wants to interact in that way: maybe she was sitting too close and needs some haaalp?
👁️ She'd take a fidget spinner if you wanna give her one.
Are you planning to create a log this month? Yes, it would be nice to introduce her a bit.

Ademnet will also be spending a lot of time in the saloon, so I say the cussin' teens should get a drink together. He's not very scary, and he's very protective of anyone he classifies as "just a kid"--he doesn't remember, but he's been raising his younger sister solo since he was thirteen.

Jaune Arc | RWBY

[personal profile] rustedknight 2024-06-01 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Character name: Jaune Arc
General ideas or plans for the month: Monster hunting month is Jaune's month. He will be tirelessly (or somewhat tiredly, depending on the day) defending the town as best he can from the onslaught of Creatures. He may not be easy to get a hold of otherwise.

Event ideas:
Wanted: You!: Jaune's posters are focused on his abandonment of his responsibilities as the Rusted Knight back in the technicolour fairytale world he once lived in. They sternly demand that he be brought to justice for failing those who depended on him to protect him, listing the many woes that no doubt have befallen his charges: tearing, singeing, sogginess, birds, high winds, and crumpling. For his part, Jaune will be leaving them up, and sometimes might be found listening to one of them.

Under Siege: If you're looking for a monster battle team up, a rescue, or post-monster attack healing, Jaune's your man! I'm planning on tossing up some open prompts of him interacting with various monsters and of him offering patch ups to people in the lobby or out in the town.

Wanted poster: Jaune's wanted posters can be found mostly at the outskirts of town.

ariane yeong | signalis

[personal profile] toteninsel 2024-06-01 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Character name: ariane yeong
General ideas or plans for the month: i want to focus on ariane more this month! she's had a pretty low-key time of things so far. her most recent major development is elster leaving a few months ago, which is still a sore spot for her, but otherwise, she's doing well - at least initially.

Event ideas:
cistern: ariane will be interested in tracking down the location of the new cistern! she won't be able to do a whole bunch of the physical digging, but she'll gladly accompany anyone who sets out to look for it. i'd be interested in either a dig thread or a thread in which ariane and some companions battle monsters on the way out of town.

wanted: ariane's wanted posters will focus heavily on what happened to s-23 sierpinski, a mining facility and labor camp on the remote, icy planet of leng. ariane's bioresonance warped sierpinski, either killing its inhabitants or turning them into zombies, trapping them in a time loop, reorganizing the layout so it matched the inside of ariane's old spaceship, covering the facility in flesh, rot, and decay, and slowly corrupting reality within the facility itself. it's pretty bleak! ariane's posters will describe in detail what happened to the facility in the voice of someone who loves spreadsheets and The State. paper birds will attack ariane frequently. the posters will also reference elster, but to a lesser extent and mostly in the context of her as a sierpinski victim.

novels: for a lighter thread, ariane will be extremely psyched about the new steamy romances. come discuss them with her! she's always a fan of a book club.

Wanted poster: ta-da:

Character name: Light

General ideas or plans for the month: Light is a man on a mission this month, and that mission has three parts.
1.Make good on that weapons/martial arts training he’s been offered by both Flynn and Barnabas. The fact the town is overrun with monsters will make this goal even more urgent.
2. Survey every person in Wellstone regarding what they can contribute to or need from his armory project. See above.
3. Test whether/how the entity under Wellstone can be injured by setting off a dust explosion in the graveyard well using sawdust and a Molotov cocktail. Unlike the first two, this mission is a well-guarded (pun intended) secret. As far as he’ll tell anyone but Alec and John, he’s collecting sawdust to surface an outdoor tennis court and a training arena for the armory project trainees.

During the hours when the heat confines him to the Staywell, he’ll find a relatively cool corner and work on tying together a tennis net out of novelty shoelaces—he may be on a mission right now, but he hasn’t forgotten his bet with Dax.

Event ideas:
WANTED: Light’s not impulsive enough to tear down any posters, but he’ll be reading everyone else’s with seemingly good-humored interest. If asked about his own posters, Light will laugh them off with a joke about how he seems to have been a lot busier than he remembers.
UNDER SIEGE: Once he learns that killing monsters can result in getting weapons and armor (even inferior weapons and armor), he will recruit as many capable and willing fighters as he can to hunt monsters to stock the armory. Should he, as a rank beginner, be taking part in these hunts? No. Will he do it anyway, figuring that it will accelerate his training and that his more advanced teammates will protect him if he screws up? Yes.

Wanted poster: These are distributed pretty much at random around town:

If you stop to admire one, it will admit to the whole list while cackling maniacally, proudly state the list is incomplete, and insist that it’s only the beginning—someone has to do it, and no one else can! It sounds more like a Saturday morning cartoon villain than anything.

Gideon Nav

[personal profile] gideoncav 2024-06-02 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Character name: Gideon Nav
General ideas or plans for the month: Gideon is having a time! She got murdered twice last cycle and is deciding to just not think about any of that, she's making friends with all the people who tried to start fights with her, trying not to think about how weird her relationship with her dad is, and really trying not to think about kissing Noelle under the moonlight. It's a great month to find some distractions!

Close CR beware: Gideon will find the water guns, and Gideon will shoot you in the back of the neck.

Event ideas: Gideon's sketch is pretty open about her crimes, and not taking any of them seriously - except the homewrecking one. When she confesses to that one, she gets uncomfortable and promises she didn't mean to do it. Gideon's posters will be many, and she will rip them down, and she will definitely end up in bathhouse jail. I'll have an open for anyone to find her chained up there. She'll be fighting monsters and collecting loot, too - I'll stick to tag-outs for that!

Wanted poster: Her posters are plastered anywhere and everywhere, but weirdly, almost all of them have one of John Gaius's plastered right over it. If John's aren't directly on top, they're nearby...

Barnabas Tharmr | Final Fantasy XVI

[personal profile] odinpusrex 2024-06-02 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Your name: Zorn
Your pronouns: he/him
Contact: [plurk.com profile] ZornSable

Character name: Barnabas Tharmr
General ideas or plans for the month: Barnabas is going to be training Light (and potentially others) on how to fight, but also he's going to be killing monsters he comes across. Particularly when he learns they can drop weapons. It makes no sense, but this place doesn't make sense either, and so whatever! It is also possible to get him into the pool, but it's certainly not something he will do on his own.

Event ideas:

WANTED POSTER - So Barnabas will not be tearing his down at all, but he will be burdened by them in his own Barney way. He does not know what to make of the laundry list of accusations it has, but he does know at least some of them must be true. At least to some extent. When he gets near them, however, they will call him wretched, weak, a traitor, a liar, unworthy of His grace, and some will accuse him of being why she died, why they all died. Barnabas, of course, has no idea what they're talking about, but the insults will stick in his mind, even if he isn't particularly emotionally responsive to them (like most things).

UNDER SIEGE - Barnabas will be on killing monster duty, because he is not going to allow these dangers to just hang around unchecked. Barnabas also recently recalled how to manifest his Zantetsuken (his magical sword of darkness), so that'll help. He also will be interested in harvesting loot from them, especially with the idea of the armory in mind. They are in sore need of weapons, and this here is why! He will be open to hunting with others, if they so desire it, but he will also be fine to do it alone. However, since he is a bit...supernatural, he will probably keep at it well beyond what others might be able to, especially with the heat and all that. He is nothing if not dedicated to the task at hand.

Wanted poster: These babies are posted ALL around town. Clearly this is a dangerous criminal that MUST be apprehended!

When you get near to read the tiny font, considering the sheer amount of things listed, the poster will begin to speak to you with a breathy and joyful fervor. When it gets around to the punishment, that's when it gets even more strange, because it sounds a little too excited at the prospect of being made to repent for these crimes. Challenging those who think they've the strength to overtake him in battle to do so, to bring him to his knees, to make him submit, to deliver unto him the reckoning he so deserves, or something like that. Really, no one signed up for this, it's probably just better to steer clear of whatever the hell this is.

Light will train very diligently. For all his flaws, he's physically fit and a very driven student.

He's also full of hubris and will tag along with Barnabas to get loot for the armory unless ordered not to. Practicing his fledgling skills on actual monsters is a great way to get better faster, right?

Character name: Min-Gi Park
General ideas or plans for the month: Min-Gi will be spending some of this time this month helping Darin with his fortifications. At least on the more basic side of it. He's also finally learning how to use his sword. Largely from Darin for now, but if anyone else is a two handed sword wielder and he doesn't think will be too judgmental then he might approach for some tips.

He will probably be visiting the bathhouse less this month thanks to it being a frequent place to find his posters, but also because of it being used as a jail again. Once he's read Shadow of the Scorpionbear he will probably be a weirdo about the scorpion shaped pool floaties.

Event ideas: Particularly if he encounters tougher monsters he can't escape from it might be good to have someone who could come play back up. Even if it's just to aid in escape. He's not going to be seeking the monsters out, but especially with the more basic ones he's not going to shy away either.

From his basic fights he gets: a rusted pike, fidget spinner that corrodes with acid when spun, and a hunk of jade. If he does have any successful tougher fights then I will ask for further rolls.

Wanted poster:


They can be found all over, but primarily in the locations Min likes hanging out. So the bathhouse, the foyer, the Stardust Tavern, and the Cactus Pad Pub. The poster-Min will admit to crimes, but doesn't seem proud of them. In fact he will keep implying they're misunderstandings or taken out of context. He seems worried about the possibility of punishment.

(If asked about the posters in person Min-Gi will only admit to not petting the sheriff, his reasoning being it seemed disrespectful. He either believes very firmly there's no way the other two are true or he's a very convincing liar.)

Character name: Palamedes Sextus

Event ideas:
WANTED: While Pal’s poster is fairly short and sweet this time, it’s also deeply embarrassing—and more than a little confusing. When it talks, it will make Pal sound like a dirty, dirty boy who went around causing all kinds of trouble. At first, Pal will try to take the posters down, though he’s practical enough that he won’t be obsessive about it once he realizes there are consequences.
UNDER SEIGE: I have no specific ideas here, but I definitely want Pal to fight some monsters and get some loop. No one in the history of the universe has needed a fidget spinner as much as Palamedes Sextus.

Wanted poster:
Found all over town:
