APRIL'S OOC INTRO & PLOTTING POST


OOC INTRO & PLOTTING
HELLO, HEROES AND VILLAINS! Welcome to [community profile] metaheroes! We're absolutely delighted to have you here. This is both our OOC introduction and plotting for our arrival event! Please use the information below to guide your plotting as you settle in.

LITTLE LOVE, KANSAS —
This month appears to be a little different. Though all the signs of a confluence appear there is no sign of any new arrivals. The gathering waits with baited breath and then finds nothing of interest occurs. Lightning strikes a potato field and that appears to be that.

People in town begin to go missing the next day. Both the new arrivals and the missing people have been planted deep under the field by the confluence's newest creation: giant, sapient potatoes of surprising strength. These potatoes seem to function as a hive-mind. Some arrivals may have been planted too deeply and may have spent the last night in an underground cave system, unable to break through the cave due to the potato's roots. Characters can fall into this cave system during combat. The water down here is glowing and, if drank, will cause you to become temporarily bio-luminescent and empathic to plants. Down there they will be able to locate the source of these monsters.

You will need to fight or tame these potato monsters in order to get the town back to normal.


LODGINGS —
Once the Guardian Alliance arrives on the scene in Excelsior and controls the situation, characters will be provided with lodgings in the DIADEM HOTEL. Here, guests are offered the finest home away from home experience you could ever hope for. Their culinary staff are capable of cooking up everything from hotdogs to gourmet cuisine. The pool, lounge, and fitness rooms are all open 24/7. Given the continued influx of new guests, arrivals may find their rooms have been double-booked. Hopefully it's a room with two queen-sized beds instead of a king!

Characters are also free to roam CENTRAL CITY and get their bearings, though at the moment, with the guilds distracted and the city doing major repairs following the damage by the Confluence, there is plenty of crime to stop or cause. Characters will be given cell phones with three months of pre-paid unlimited data and assistance with setting up social media accounts on the guild networks, as well as credit cards to help them start a life here.

Player characters will be offered the chance to join the guilds. Those who join will be offered housing at one of the four major cities, with each one offering a different living experience. Characters have two months to decide if they want to throw in with one of the guilds and enjoy the perks of membership, or deal with making their own way in the world without their support.


BUD THE SPUD —
Finally, in the aftermath of all of this, Little Love will require some ongoing assistance with pruning its new monsterous plant population. The older of these beasts seem amenable to being taken in and given a home. The younger ones keep trying to kidnap and plant people. The town seems surprisingly okay with this new breed of potato and some comment that it's the tenderest potato they've ever eaten.


GETTING TO KNOW YOU —
Please use the form below to introduce yourself and start plotting:

[personal profile] corpuslingua 2022-04-30 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Player Name & Pronouns: Kat | she/her
Preferred Communication: [plurk.com profile] purkle

Character Name & Journal: Cassandra Cain-Wayne (this one)
Guild Affiliation: Cass isn't going to be looking to join anyone until she sees what's going on...and talks to the family
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Cass is coming from a place where she's just getting fully back with the family. Belonging has always been a big part of her needs. She's also coming off a time where she was manipulated and drugged and the head of the League of Assassins, so there was killing and death.
Because DC sucks.

Plot/CR Hooks: Need someone kind of easy to manipulate? Someone to explain why we don't kill others? I don't know...let's just throw things at each other and see what happens.
fridgeflower: (let's be friends)

[personal profile] fridgeflower 2022-04-30 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Laurie's a CRAU who briefly dated Cass in her last game, so that's... hopefully a fun thing to mess around with??
corpuslingua: (95)

[personal profile] corpuslingua 2022-04-30 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry she won't know you Laurie, but yes bring on the info. It would be interesting to see where things go.
fridgeflower: (what'cha doin'?)

[personal profile] fridgeflower 2022-04-30 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It was a fairly innocuous, short relationship, so it won't be too tricky, but... Another fun beat of inter-universe fuckery for all!

[personal profile] corpuslingua 2022-05-02 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
all the mulitverse fun
mostdangerousbird: (023 but you know that she’s watching)

[personal profile] mostdangerousbird 2022-04-30 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Caaaaass.

Tim is going to be so glad to see her. Can the multiverse shenanigans be over now?
corpuslingua: (64)

[personal profile] corpuslingua 2022-04-30 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Tim, you know better than to ask things like that. It's just asking for trouble and they already have enough to deal with.

Time to get down and dirty and find a new Batcave.

Hello, stranger.

Bart is clearly around and going to be a great hindrance just like normal.

New game, who this?

Every Bat has to have a speedster in their life.
robintohood: (I am lost)

[personal profile] robintohood 2022-04-30 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
HI CASS. And I apologize in advance for the inevitable drama Jason will cause as he won't recognize most of the Bat-Family coming in and is fresh from the Under the Red Hood (movie) events.
corpuslingua: (66)

[personal profile] corpuslingua 2022-04-30 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Jason! It's all good, sorry she'll be trying so hard to bring him to the Batside again since she's past her own heel run. She gets the daddy issues though.
robintohood: (I am young)

[personal profile] robintohood 2022-04-30 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
But we ALL have daddy issues. And yeees. Jason's long due for a redemption arc since DC will never explain how his went down. Stupid reboot events.
corpuslingua: (46)

[personal profile] corpuslingua 2022-04-30 01:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Enough daddy issues to fill the Grand Canyon with this family!
robintohood: ([D] Couple of walking armories)

[personal profile] robintohood 2022-04-30 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Enough to fill a whole Batcave!

Worst comes to worse, Cass can easily kick Jason's butt if he gets too out of line.

hey little bro don't threaten a girl with a good time

I really only know Batfam by means of cultural osmosis, but from what I do know I know that I would love to have Cass CR with Angela here. She will absolutely do nothing to stop Cass from killing people, as long as those people deserve it.

[personal profile] corpuslingua 2022-04-30 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
lol that's how it goes for most of the fam honestly so it's all good

and Cass is past her days of death, she turned back to the dark knight side

still she'll be quite happy to make friends with such a fierce angel
hevenly: (Angela16)

[personal profile] hevenly 2022-04-30 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah well, more murder for Angela!

But uh... Don't call her an angel to her face, that's kinda of a sore subject...
corpuslingua: (Default)

[personal profile] corpuslingua 2022-05-02 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
it'll be fine she'll just love Angela period
