terminal scavenger hunt

[melnik]

Hi, expi! As I'm sure many of you know by now, there has been an IC discussion going on re: forming several groups to go seeking out the terminals. Root (computation) suggested to Miller that he take charge of organizing these groups while she would work on organizing the technical side. They are specifically interested in doing the reset after making a backup of the current system. So, just making this post to let the plotting commence!

Obviously this is a player organized sitch, so please feel free to ignore and it and completely do your own thing if that works better for you!

But for those who are interested, here's the basic rundown right now:

- Groups will be assigned by general scouting location (Aldrip and surrounding area, Ketsora, Lorentia Cave, Desert, Pessiria Forest/Rumpitur area, Ruins).

- STEM club will be providing a telemeter to each team which will provide a signal helping lead them to the terminal.

- Communication will take place via the STEM club's established darknet to keep details as secure as possible; characters who can’t already access it will be provided access. Spock, Kirk, and Pike will be acting as support and coordination for everyone.

- ICly, Miller will be looking for at least one tech-savvy person for each group and at least one battle-ready person (but preferably more); he would favor characters going to certain regions based on their own background in game or in their own canon (e.g. he's from an apocalyptic underground society, so he knows how to navigate underground), but we can pretty much flub anything based on your preference.

- If your character wants to be in a group with another particular character or characters, just let me know you'd like them to be paired together!

- If you have a preference for a location you either want your character to go to or don't want your character to go to, also let me know! If no preference is given, I will RNG your character into a team. The idea was originally for 6 teams, but if we get too many people, we'll just have more teams!

- Want to be involved and your character hasn't talked to either Root or Miller? Totally cool to handwave that interaction with Miller! No need to ask my permission. But feel free to add me on shomonkai or hit me up in the game discord @ seraphita2033 if you need to hash anything out.

For the sake of not slowing down the event, sign ups will close on 9/20 at 12 pm PST (GMT -8) at which point I will respond to you with your team assignments! But there is, of course, no time limit on what you devide to do with it. Happy searching, Chosen!

Feel free to use the comments below to plot out things amongst yourselves, not limited to but including trying to throw a wrench in these plans completely.

I would still prefer to keep Ange away from the PVP stuff, but I totally don't mind if you three want to go there to help out! I can always handwave that Ange was sent to a different terminal by herself, if that helps?

Ange could hang out with Douman and just popcorn to the action show from a safe distance, or they could poke at the bones and what else can be still found in the ruins together if you'd like.

I was thinking about asking you if you'd like to do a quick interlude with them meeting somewhere along the way anyway, since he'd have half a mind to give her a talisman for protection (aka. make a one-time shield at her commamd and have any poor sod running into it go zap!) after their last talk.

Oh gosh, I really love that latter idea, I'd like to thread that! Do you think it might be a good idea to have a thread like that set before everyone splits up to go to all the various locations? She would be so flustered in a touched sort of way that he'd be thinking of her at all..

[nuraridouman]

We could set it during their trip towards the portal in Aldrip if you'd like? I'm not sure how to play things anymore since most of my plans are moot with Seimei's drop, but Douman would still have to take a trip through the portal at the catacombs since that's the only way for him to get to the Ruins. (He could have gotten a ride from Bones, but they dropped too sbhjfdbhj)

[entreats]

OH NO poor Douman.. Sometimes stuff becomes so hard with drops... :(

But sure, I would be up for doing it that way! c: Would you mind writing up a starter for it?

[nuraridouman]

Not at all! I'm about to write my starters for the event post anyway, so I'll just make a locked one for them. Do you have anything you'd like me to put into it? Otherwise you can always just add stuff in your tag-in and I'll roll with it. o7

[entreats]

Hmm, I don't think I have anything in particular I need included! If I am forgetting something, I'll just include it in my tag-in, yeah! Thank you!
