Unquiet Dead week two plotting


James attempts to reassure the tourists and townsfolk in the face of their grief and his own suspicions of impending disaster. Artie struggles to come to terms with her own death. Zed goes about the important business of terrorizing the locals and recruiting minions to his banner. Skye attempts to lure in believers in the supernatural. Father Anthony attempts to drive out malign influences in the cemetary, and ease the minds of the locals. Ace grows suspicious of the new spirits in town, and what they might mean for his descendants. Elle has her own private memorial under cover of darkness. Anton and Danielle begin their investigation into the recent reports of visions totally mundane health inspection, honest.

Strange dreams haunt both newcomers and locals. Madoka, Matthew, and Raidou dream of Bastet. Souji dreams about a cat.

Kris films the funeral, and a canine possession, and an eldritch protection lesson, and a handful of ghost stories. Hannah searches for proof of the supernatural influences in town. A starving horror - or a lost child - stalks the moors on the edge of town.

Pearl tries to piece together the best way to contact the local spirits. Casper seeks out ghosts in the cemetary. In contrast, Matthew does everything he can to avoid the ghosts - including hopping a train to London. Riddick looks for signs of the horrors that plagued the last visit to Harrogate. Raidou becomes the first victim of the unquiet dead.

Armin attempts to coordinate memory restorations, and offers general information on the Harrogate of the 21st century. Maria fills the other ghostvestigators in on who amongst the living can see them. Geralt summarizes the Network chatter regarding the previous visit to Harrogate. Casper discloses the presence of ghost Travelers, and shares a disturbing dream. Kohaku shares her own too-real nightmare. Armin makes contact with the ghost-side Investigators.


Week Two Plotting
When a sinkhole opens on the south side of town, ghosts and living alike explore the peculiar underground regions that have been uncovered. Those on either side will discover certain areas where direct communication & perception across the veil between life & death are possible.

Meanwhile, Investigators must deal with sudden unexplained reductions in their ability to access Liminal Space & the Psychic Network. These changes will be mimicked on the walkabout side, and posted separately there so walkabouters don't have to read the jaunt mingle for them. This is the only crossover between the two events that will be present.

Summoned Creature safely ensconced on the walkabout and not currently posing as a baby dragon: Do they disappear with the Liminal shutdown or not?

(I need to know if Shinji's freaking out because his dog just disappeared. XD)

Re: QUESTIONS

[personal profile] rustyhonesty 2017-08-17 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Will a Spirit Animal summoned by Summon Creature (walkabout side) will be fine? Well other than needing non-liminal made food and stuff.

Also is there any physical tiredness in using either set of skills during this time?

Just confirming what you said in the modplurk: our vanished manipulated objects are not gone forever, just inaccessible, right?

How does this effect bridge skills/Summon Traveler?

This is basically yet more ghost rules questions but it impacts my ability to interact with living Infiltrators, sooooo...

1) If Ghostvestigators have the AC for and plan to take the Spirit Revival and Telekinesis skills this month, is it okay to start using those? Say to screw with a certain museum curator's computer?

2) Heroic Age Necromancy: any way that would allow someone to communicate with the living as a ghost? Possibly by offering booze instead of blood?

In terms of locations, if we can find something on google maps for the real Harrogate, are we generally safe to assume that it also exists in this Harrogate?

(To be more specific: the real Harrogate has a hospital at one edge of the Stray, can I assume that there is also a hospital in the jaunt?)

Does this affect other psychic skills? Psychic bridge, dream communication, psychic detection, etc?

Also, given plain text, is there any indication of who is 'speaking'?

Do clothes gifted by the arcana, as through the royal treatment, count as liminally manipulated objects?

James (Hiroshi) will be starting to hole up more in the Inn during all this, since the sinkhole to him is definitely going to be a sign that EVIL IS HEEEEERE. He'll be a little more obvious, so if somebody prods him, this is probably the best time to get the truth out of him.

Raidou will be newly dead and slightly annoyed about that fact. He'll also be going to check out that sinkhole, which... might be a mistake on his part.

Maria ... will probably investigate the sinkhole. If she doesn't, it's only because...

Delaunay/Agent Delaney is definitely going to head in. He is not entirely sure this wasn't caused by terrorists.

Thorne-as-Dr-Durante is going to be in a Bad Way because her bondmate Raidou got run over by a train. I am not entirely sure what she's going to do except maybe try to contact him.

Kohaku, after getting thoroughly owned by the Shadow Child, will be a little hesitant about immediately diving into what is definitely an underground death labyrinth, especially since her . However, her heightened senses would be incredibly useful in a dark cave so I am open to her being talked into it. Her MAIN goal is gonna be doing some research on the town and talking to people. Trying to figure out just what is going on rather than blundering around in the dark.

ALSO she is adopting Souji's "buddy system" policy in an effort to not get owned again. Who wants to hang out with her while she limps around museums and shit?

Kinji (Kris) is gonna fucking SWAN DIVE into that fucking sink hole try and stop him

Gil (Gerard) will probably be trying to stop Jules from doing the same, and generally being a lot more protective of him now that things are getting Weird. This protectiveness might start applying to other people if he gets concerned enough.

Jason, who is a ghost, will definitely be exploring sinkholesville as a ghost because that's a goo idea.

Souji, who is not a ghost, will be employing the buddy system and probably doing historical research, but not taking risks unless someone he is buddied with does.

Ace will be exploring the sinkhole, probably less because he wants to and more because his precious people kEEP SWAN-DIVING INTO DANGER.

...Well, he's also kind of suspicious of all these new ghosts, so if they seem especially interested in he'll probably tag along to see what's up.

If anyone wants to set up a chance to see Ace in/around the sinkhole please let me know!

I'm late to jaunt bc med school, but it's time to throw Feli in. He'll probably explore the sinkhole because he's too curious to resist, even if he's absolutely terrified of ghostly things.

He'll be very jumpy and spooked, so if anyone wants to come along and help keep him from squeaking at every last sound, it'd be appreciated!

Riddick is definitely going down into that sinkhole and investigating the theater. He'll be taking his demon friend, of course, and a flashlight that he'll leave off unless he feels like there's trouble.... Also, he'll be taking a side trip to visit and Arcana once liminal space breaks, so that'll be fun. If none of the other pre-Moebius vets wants to take it, he can let people know that the network is like it "used to be" before modern iterations of it.

Jolie is also going down there, because goddamn this is the break she needed, and she can get so much info out of this place, she's sure of it :|
