JULY OOC WELCOME & 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 your initial arrival! Please use the information below to guide your plotting as you settle in.

You are free to post your intro after reading this post! We will not be posting a log for this.

The GUILDS have begun employing safety measures to prevent new arrivals from destroying the cities they land in. As seen on the last TEST DRIVE MEME, the cities have set up ways to intercept the new arrivals and bring them to headquarters as quickly as possible.

TRUST NOT JULY SKIES — CENTRAL CITY
The first well-needed thunderstorm of the July season brings with it yet another storm of falling people. A crack of thunder, a flash of brilliant lightning, and bodies are sent tumbling to the earth. The mystical failsafes will reach out to catch you before you hit the ground, though they’re only as competent as the wizards who cast them and you may find yourself lost in an unfamiliar city.

Fear not. There are heroes (and villains) combing the streets for new arrivals such as yourself. However you are free to slip further into the city, investigating the world you've fallen into and learning how to make your own way within it.

Throughout the week the sky will be behaving... oddly. Gaze for too long at those dark rolling clouds and you may feel yourself unmoored. The world around you stops feeling like this one you've come to know. You may feel the sticky heat of the one you've left. The ache of wounds you bore upon your arrival. Something seems to be pulling and you feel yourself falling, the world only righting itself when your body forces you to blink and look away. You gasp, drawing air into your lungs, and feel the compulsion to run for shelter.

The people of this world don't seem to have this problem. Yet others who fell to this world will report similar feelings. A sense of being drawn back, of being unbalanced. Perhaps it would be best to get out of the city. To find somewhere else to stay, enjoy a nice beach vacation until those stormclouds blow away.

The Guilds both appear to be relatively satisfied that this confluence only brought new people and didn't empower the populace any further than it already has been. The sheer amounts of destruction are getting hard to keep up with.

But it feels like you've arrived on the cusp of something... major. There's a spark in the air just waiting to catch fire.


LODGINGS —
Once the Guardian Alliance arrives in Atlantis to offer new arrivals an explanation and transport back to the surface, 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.

TIIIIIM!

Someone needs to tell Cass that Tim was hurt so she can break into Bart's farm in the middle of the night to scare the shit out of check on him.
robintohood: (With a direction)

[personal profile] robintohood 2022-07-28 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
A weirdly effective approach! It's gonna be needed because he's so pissed that the Joker has a healing factor now.

[personal profile] louder_than_words 2022-07-28 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
If you're up for it, I would love to keep Cass & Nico's TDM thread as canon. His one-sided distrust/resentment is very funny to me.

Now that Steph is here, Cass barely uses her own hotel room. Steph just wakes up to Cass watching trashy reality TV on the couch. Steph never gave her a room key.

As I was telling Steph’explayer, Joker live streamed it and while OurPowers took it down, video is forevah on the internet.

eggplanting: (11 - Edjc5bG)

[personal profile] eggplanting 2022-07-28 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
as if steph isn't both expecting and hoping that cass will just basically move in with her
eggplanting: (well I've got thick skin)

[personal profile] eggplanting 2022-07-28 01:13 am (UTC)(link)

eggplanting: (WFSteph004)

[personal profile] eggplanting 2022-07-28 01:22 am (UTC)(link)

mayu come be dana's mentor in "i'm a normal person thrust into a crazy world how cope". and keeping other people's secrets.
robintohood: ([D] Couple of walking armories)

[personal profile] robintohood 2022-07-28 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my god you're right. Beating the shit out of him with a crowbar will be even more fun.

Also, now I'm reminded of this skit.
welcome_summer: (And so I said...)

[personal profile] welcome_summer 2022-07-28 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
oh girlllllll, Mayu has been there and brought back the t-shirt. She 100% would try to help Dana through the weirdness!

Yay, another girl in the Bat circle! And this one's an actual Bat!

Totally fine with keeping the TDM thread as canon and Dana answering all of Steph's questions about the Joker and Robin Incident without revealing any private info.
demigoth: (015)

[personal profile] demigoth 2022-07-28 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, she can be the one he meets in the water.
robintohood: (I'm a hero)

[personal profile] robintohood 2022-07-28 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
I'm so curious how their CR will turn out in this game. Showing up just in time when Jason has decided to new plans!
eggplanting: (and an elastic heart)

[personal profile] eggplanting 2022-07-28 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
time for a girls night tbh

that's perfect! steph is frustrated by the lack of info but will appreciate dana being careful in retrospect

Steph!!

apologies in advance, because Doreen will absolutely be asking Steph if she has bat-related powers like sonar or talking to bats
determinationtofist: (Feed your bikki)

[personal profile] determinationtofist 2022-07-28 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Hell yeah! And pfft, honestly Hibiki isn't great at it either, so it'd probably be funny if... Steph just figured it out and Hibiki started panicking.
welcome_summer: (I bequeath to you...a book to the head!)

[personal profile] welcome_summer 2022-07-28 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
It really is good timing, I'm looking forward to it!

Hi, I'm Bugly (she/her) and I play this cool cat here as well as Bart Allen/Kid Flash here. So obviously things will happen sooner or later with ours. Previous Cass didn't really interact with Bart so there isn't any real trouble there.

She's also totally welcome to ghost in and out of Bart's farm and visit with his slowly growing menagerie that is nowhere as bad as crazy as Damian's. It's only a cat with anxiety issues and 11 nearly grown bantam easter egger hens. (The eleventh chick was an accidental rooster and he now lives with Eddie Brock and Venom with a promise to not eat him)

I'm Bugly (she/her) and I have Sleeper here as well as Bart Allen, so we'll definitely have to do stuff. If she goes alliance she can help Bart pretend to goof off during meetings and such and help him with keeping Kid Flash as a mostly incompetent hero as far as the people in charge are concerned....
eggplanting: (well I've got thick skin)

[personal profile] eggplanting 2022-07-28 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not familiar with Sleeper but they seem delightful from what little I've stalked so far!! And Steph will definitely help Bart goof off. I've always felt it was a tragedy the two of them never properly met, I'm sure they'll get along like a house on fire
