Event: Abort!

[voidtreckermods]

On the morning of the 25th Day of Egret (OOC: 18th April) the train on everyone’s Safety Control Apparatus will shimmer in multi colours looking almost like the void itself. A moment later a holo-screen will pop up with the following information.

Destination World#27462947582. A low technology world that has not yet achieved space or void travel. The Kingdom of Biq is the largest kingdom in a world that is mostly ocean and inhospitable desert or freezing tundra.

The main military post is in a city in the north, alongside large gates that lead into the desert and the monsters that dwell there. They are in danger and they need your help.

Purple Team

Help bolster the fighters and man the walls. The threat could come from anywhere and it is important to be diligent. When the fighting begins hold the walls as long as you can, in order to give the civilians of the city as much time as possible to evacuate.

Red Team

Travel outside the gates, try and find the threat before it gets to the city and slow it down as much as you can. Buy time for purple team to be ready to fight and the other teams to get as many civilians out of the city as possible.

If you cannot slow them down then attempt to flank them when they reach the walls.

Orange Team

Help the civilians get ready for evacuation. Animals will need moved, essential belongings packed. Children rounded up. Carriages and carts will need animals to pull them. Encourage people to be as quick as they can, there is a matter of hours before the threat is upon them. Once people are ready start leading them south as per Blue Teams instructions.

Blue Team

Gather the civilians that can evacuate quickly and lead the first groups out of the city by the southern gates into the rest of the kingdom. Don’t let them stop but instead encourage those in the towns and villages you come across to join you in your travel south. Keep going, get as far as you can before the attack starts.

Additional Notes: They do not know of void travel so be careful, but as always preserving lives is of greater importance than staying completely hidden. The dressing carriage will be open for your convenience

‘But mods!’ I hear you all cry, ‘We’ve already had a mission for Egret!’. And that is true. It is the second part of the month and the passengers have never had two missions in a month before.

Of course it not being a mission-event-month means this is no normal mission. The Voidtreckers will be there for only about five hours before their mission is interrupted.

The event will be in two parts. The first part will go up on the 18th April, the second part on the 19th.

During the first part characters will find themselves in a medieval/fantasy esque world. The people are a mix of fantasy races and so the non-humans will not stick out too badly though those who are more technological in nature will be better off disguising themselves somewhat. The dressing carriage has simple tunics and leggings, they are in bold team colours and once they get to the world they will see that they fit just in. People dress brightly, buildings are painted and bunting flies in the streets.

The first thing that will strike them about this world as it doesn’t feel like it is in danger. People know about the monsters outside the walls but non have gotten through in generations. The kingdom is prosperous and peaceful.

The guards at the north gate will let Red team out, though they will get some strange looks. Monster hunters are not all that rare after all. Red team will find packs of monsters, they mostly look like boars but are a lot more vicious. However they do not find any pack too large to handle between a few of them.

Purple team will have a bit of a harder time getting too the walls but with enough talking they will be allowed to join the soldiers on patrol, though they will be watched carefully.

Blue and Orange team will have the hardest jobs, because the people will not be happy about evacuating. Good arguments and no nonsense attitudes will work best here, though picking people up and carrying them out of the city may be a last resort.

For the most part it will be play your own monsters/npcs but if anyone wants anything specific feel free to request below as per usual mission NPC requests!

Feel free to use this post for planning and any questions you might have!

Re: Questions?

[iamnotgod]

What happens if someone deliberately stays on the train, for the sake of not disturbing the natives?

(Aka this is how I will cope with having two muses in game this time. |D)

Re: Questions?

[maxwellsdaemon]

So, what if you're trying to get people to move and they don't want to move so you give up... Are their alien sweet shops that can be raided for their sugary goodness to kill time since the locals aren't bothered?

Re: Questions?

[sendiintheclown]

How are the soldiers armed? Can they be overpowered and forced past?

Actually "During the first part characters will find themselves in a medieval/fantasy esque world. The people are a mix of fantasy races and so the non-humans will not stick out too badly though those who are more technological in nature will be better off disguising themselves somewhat." Does that mean that magic is known/able to be used openly?

Re: Questions?

[laurefindil]

Out of curiousity, what is the social structure? Aristocracy, Military...who is in charge?

And how does this culture feel about angelic types that glow? What's the religion pool like?

[so_dark_a_road]

Will Orange Team get to fight the monsters?

Re: Questions?

[unholyandbroken]

Are cigarettes easily found?

Re: Questions?

[mimidaeia]

This might apply to Webmind too- SXT-2 stayed on the train and is tapped onto the train's tannoy system and everything. Would she sense any change in the train leading up to Part II of the event?

Plotting!

Re: Plotting!

[iamnotgod]

Nita will be doing Team Orange no-nonsense argument things!

Though I expect she'll also have some pointed questions for the train. =P

Webmind, however, is staying on the train - unless people can convince him he'll be fine in his robot body on a completely different world.

[yep_stilldead]

OK, hear me out: We have a couple exorcists, right? What if one of them collaborated with Ivy to fake a haunting incident in order to motivate locals into leaving the building voluntarily?

Re: Plotting!

[maxwellsdaemon]

Duo... kind of wants to follow Red Team, pls.

So does Gladio.

Two fighters left behind will have them chomping at the bit and rather frustrated!

Gladio less so. But Duo will be fuming just standing on a wall waiting!

[draconite]

At her first opportunity, Bryn will be ditching Team Orange and heading out for hunting with Team Red! so much for team unity, huh. She's happy to fight on her own, but this would be a nice opportunity for her to bother some of the Team Red crew in general.

Re: Plotting!

[radishlobbyist]

Wen Qing is going to be joining Team Orange for this one, as kicking people's butts into moving and doing as she says community organizing is her skill. Also, she did train in an organization of monster hunters even if she's the medic, if they don't evacuate on time it's her job to place herself between the monsters and civilians.

She'll be with Taiki and with Misa but she's also open for teaming up with others.

[rieper]

No complaints from 47, he literally lives for this shit. He'll be going with Red Team as per usual. Fried bacon, anyone?

Piccolo probably won't stick with Blue Team this time around since evacuation isn't really his style. Especially since shit hasn't hit the fan yet and there's no immediate danger to the people he sees. So he'd rather go hunting for the danger. He'll probably end up with Red Team or scouting out further ahead of them on his own.

Garrett. Well. None of this is his style but hey, if people are leaving things behind.... he's damn well gonna start up his "trade". Aka: he'll be pilfering things as soon as his feet hit the ground. Probably won't get much before they get interrupted but expect him to have a few pieces of jewelry and the like already in his pockets haha.

After that, who knows. Hopefully this will be fun once the real shit goes down.

Re: Plotting!

[faithfulson]

Volunteering Luke for (attempted) diplomatic relations in getting Purple team up on that wall.

Re: Plotting!

[sendiintheclown]

While Trowa would love to be out with the red team, he wants to protect the innocent people. So he'll head for the wall. Medieval weapons aren't his forte, but he'll do his best.

Re: Plotting!

[azrthmtrnznthos]

NEW PLAN! Raven's going with Blue Team per Ignis' request.

Raven's fine with being on purple mission unless someone wants her elsewhere? She's good at holding the line/keeping things and people safe. She also has a short-range teleport/phasing ability that can apply to her and one other person.

If anyone needs/wants an idea of a specific skill she has, or just has ideas, please poke here.

Re: Plotting!

[sonoflucis]

While Noct is on Red team, he might follow Blue team, because Ignis has been here longer, and he wants to help get people to safety. He is bummed there won't be much opportunity to fish.

Re: Plotting!

[mtsilver_conquor]

Eva will be staying with Orange team and doing her level best to complete the mission.

Which will involve use of Princess's Sing because she doesn't have time to argue with people.

[pleple]

Ple Two is with her blue team and she might have to play up ~psychic powers~ to try to convince people of anything.

[yilingdaddy]

Wei Wuxian will stick with Blue Team and will do his best to cajole people into evacuating. Barring that, he'll play his flute to help entrance them into following him out - if that's ok!

[marriedanidiot]

Much to her great frustration Nerdanel is well aware that she will be more useful on Orange, so that's where she'll stay.

Kaito too, obviously XD

BUT I MIGHT NOT BE AROUND MUCH so... please ping me if you need my guys anywhere
