Well OOC comm

Hi everyone! I'd like to invite y'all to join in on a plot/event for mid-November!
( BINGBONG IT'S PLANNING TIME )

Okay y'all.

Sorry this took a million years to get up, May has not been especially kind to me in the free time department.

ANYWAY, Darin has made the announcement that he's going to try and reinforce the Staywell again. He's asking for any and all hands that are willing to work to spend the rest of the loop really battening down the hatches so to speak. He's spent all of May knocking down trees from the dead forest to use as resources and with his transmutation powers he can mold a lot of things. The goal is to fortify the Staywell both inside and out.

Fortify the roof and any points of entry like doorways and windows, create walkways around the grounds, erect walls and palisades to keep any third month visitors from swarming.

He's going to want anyone who knows anything about defense to help him decide where these things should go like it's a tower defense game.

If you want to see his theories on all of this, the walkie talkie post can be found here.

That said, there's also the graveyard and the cistern so if physical labor isn't your bag, Team Cecelia will be wanting to go into the Graveyard to check things out.

End goal? Darin thinks the Staywell is inextricably linked to the nature of the world. The better off it is, the better off the world is.

So comment here with things your character can and will do so there's a full list of things being done so I can take it to the mods for month three of the loop!

Hello, residents of Wellstone! The Wellstone Games Club, consisting of Keiichi, Alec, Dax, Olympia, and Satoko, have been reinventing the Earth game "baseball" based on a collection of half-remembered rules. They've created something... mostly resembling baseball, and they're bringing it to town in the form of a friendly competition!

This will be a laid-back event consisting of an RNG'd game victor, vibes-based baseball, and an after party.

There will be two teams; the captains are Keiichi and Dax.

This is open to everyone in town, please sign up in the comment below and join us!

Hello Wellstone! I come to you with a little player plot open to everyone in the game.

Greetings, friends! As you’ve probably heard by now, John Gaius is going to be killing a number of the doubles and AU characters hanging around this month in distressing ways and not telling anyone about it...so it’s time for a murder mystery! Over the course of the month, Palamedes will be discovering the resulting crime scenes around the manor and will slowly realize that 1) the deaths are linked and that 2) John is responsible. Near the end of the month, John will kill teen!Cece and DoubleDax, and in the case of the latter nearly kill normal!Dax in the process. The death of teen!Cece will lead Pal to realize that John is responsible and Darin to confront him, while the Dax murder and near-murder will be a last straw for Pal, leading him to confront John next month (probably).

But now to the important bit: I’m about to put up an open post where characters are welcome to investigate crime scenes with Pal. There will be three prompts in total, and the first two will be open for anyone to tag. In the spirit of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey rp, I’m perfectly happy to have multiple people investigate the same scene with Pal, or even uncover the same clues. You can also use these prompts as a jumping-off point to talk to Pal about the murders at other times during the month.

Speaking of clues: you can find details about each of the crime scenes in Rona’s happenings post here. You can also follow each of the “main” investigated murders icly in the following threads (mind the cws):
Hijack
Double!Olympia
Double!Yuri
Teen!Cece

Have any questions about logistics or about crime scene clues? Hit me up in the comments or on plurk!

Hey folks! Who wants to fight the GOD OF NECROMANCY and ALL HIS SKELETONS in a big spooky Halloween bash???

THE SETUP

On the final night of the cycle - October 31st, though characters don't know the date ICly - John's double will arrive at the graveyard, where most characters are sheltering from the flood. Palamedes and Camilla will clock him as a double, argue with him, realize what they're up against... and start fighting for their lives.

This fight takes place in a crowded location, so it'll be pretty public! If your character would like to jump to Cam and Pal's rescue: hell yeah. John's double will raise all nearby skeletons in the graveyard to keep bystanders off his back. Buckle up for a horde of the undead, kids.

THE BOSS BATTLE

The central John-Cam-Pal thread needs to stay pretty linear, but doubleJohn can respond to attempted threadjacks if you try to heckle him or get a hit in. (He can regenerate, so please feel free.) Mostly, he'll sic skeletons and flesh monsters on anyone who tries to intervene - even if your character is a bigger threat, he'll stay focused on Cam and Pal.

Feel free to make your own toplevel dodging monsters, needing rescue, etc, and tag amongst yourselves! This is a game of "survive the horde and keep everyone alive until the timer runs out." You can escape the horde by fleeing deeper into the graveyard. Otherwise, we intend for the fight to continue until the cycle resets at midnight.

THE LOGISTICS

If you'd like to join, comment here telling me what your character brings to the fight!

The log is already posted HERE, so we can forward-date threads in a leisurely manner. (I'm traveling all next week, I'm so sorry abt my timing.)

Anyone disinterested can assume they're on the other side of the graveyard, or clinging to the upper floors of the Staywell, and safely ignore this. Cheers!

Hi friends!

Per Palamedes' bulletin board notice, I am about to put up a gathering post in the IC comm meant for characters to meet each other, share information they have gathered about Well, and generally concoct schemes. The meeting will be in the Staywell lobby, so even characters who wouldn't attend would probably notice that something was going on. Pal will probably have shared the idea for this meeting with people he knows well, so feel free to handwave him mentioning it to you.

I'm planning to include two top-levels in the post: a Meet and Greet (for people to introduce themselves if they're so inclined) and Information Gathering (for people to share stuff they've discovered). Don't hesitate to make your own totally separate top-levels as you see fit!

I think that pretty much covers it. I'll add a link to this post once the IC post goes up. Let me know if you have any questions!

It's finally happening, everyone! After two months in this town, Flynn is sick of not knowing what else is out there. Sure, it's a little windy and very hot, but it's better than last month, and there's no time like the present, right? It's time for a:

Desert Expedition!

After posting about it at the beginning of the week, Flynn will be leading a little expedition into the desert. His goals are as follows:

• figure out how far the desert goes
  
• understand what else might be out there
  
• see if there is any hint of other intelligent life
  
• find a way to communicate that they're all trapped here with someone who can help
  
• just kinda see what's going on

The plan right now is to leave just before dawn on the morning of the 7th with as much water and food as Flynn & anyone else who's coming with can carry. He's going to try to set up water caches to support future expeditions, as well as start to map what's out there. It's going to last all of a single day and a single night of camping under the stars before the entire party is going to be caught in a massive sandstorm and have to fight their way home. Fun!

The way I think it'll work best is if we basically do all the exploration here in this little post! So, if your character wants to come with, feel free to just count them in. I'll be making comments below with various things we'll need to hash out, and we can figure out roughly what happens on this little expedition! I'll hop in on the mod account (or have Mads do it) with anything folks might discover, and I'll be (in the interest of not mostly playing with myself, haha) letting other people kind of take the lead on that!!

I was thinking this would be mostly OOC for ease (i.e. "Flynn's going to spend his time poking his nose into X, Y, and Z, he'll need some help with A") but if you'd like to actually thread things out, feel free to do that too. We're all just making things up over here!
