PLOTTING POST: EVENT 002

INITIATING F.O.G. PROTOCOL

I. It lives in the mist

(Jul 5 - Jul 8)



i̵n̴i̶t̶i̴a̷t̸i̷n̶g̵ ̴F̴.̴O̴.̵G̴.̵ ̶p̵r̶o̷t̵o̴c̵o̶l̶.̶.̵.̸
f̷a̵c̶i̶a̵l̸ ̸r̶e̶c̶o̵g̶n̴i̶t̶i̷o̸n̷ ̴d̴i̶s̸a̸b̴l̴e̵d̴.̸.̶.̶


The weather in the Nameless City has always been dreary, but today you wake up to a peculiar chill in the air. A thick and impenetrable fog, which once lingered on the coast and obscured the horizon, has rolled in to claim the majority of the island. Fortunately, the city area surrounding the hospital stands as an oasis at its center.

The fog hangs heavy for days, inspiring a strange sluggishness among members of the populace. For those brave enough to wander into the thick of it, they will find it quite unnavigable. Not only is it impossible to see beyond one’s own nose, but any navigation tools (technological and magical alike) fail in the most unusual ways. Inevitably, explorers find themselves circling back to where they began.

What’s worse, anyone who comes in contact with the fog - whether they breathe it in or not - will find themselves forgetting... well, anything. Names. Faces. Where they came from or what they were doing. Even dear friends might seem as anonymous strangers to them.

Some people appear to be more affected by lethargy and forgetfulness than others. Regardless, it probably won’t take long to discover that an Auspicious Act clears those symptoms right up, even with someone you feel you've never met before. After all, doesn't something hot to drink and another warm body to curl up with sound comfortable?

II. Home of the latest by Chuck T*ngle

(Jul 8 onwards)



In a few days’ time, the fog has retreated to the edges of the city, marking a clear boundary between the Nameless City and the desolate wastelands beyond. Yet, the terrain isn’t exactly how Erku’s newest inhabitants will remember it: the ‘bots have been hard at work reconstructing the city library! You won’t find any books inside, however. Instead, the (slightly dingy, perhaps still a little structurally unsound) building archives media data chips that can be freely downloaded to your bracelet device. Or, if you prefer, you might be interested in purchasing a tablet-like electronic reader to peruse your selections on a larger screen. These devices cost roughly 200 credits and their function will be explained by one of the few attending robots navigating the shelves.

" Y̴o̶u̴ ̴m̷u̴s̷t̵ n̵'ot̷ ̵b̶e̷n̷d̴ ̴t̶h̶e̵ ̵t̷i̵n̶e̷s̶.̴ "

Unfortunately, much of the data from the ancient Auspicious Age remains corrupted. The robots are working on restoring as much of the information as possible, but in the meantime, they have made available the files they believed most interesting to their organic guests… that is to say, racy novels and films. The robot attendants are apologetic about the situation when asked for alternative materials, but they suggest that perhaps the Augur is listening to your needs!

III. Don't forget to wash before you enter

(Jul 8 onwards)



Welcome, lifeform.
...Person.
All is as foretold.
Welcome.
Please initiate a c̷l̸e̶a̵n̸s̴i̵n̴g̴ ̷r̵i̸t̴u̸a̶l̷.


The retreating fog reveals something else: plumbing infrastructure is back in order within the city, and the formerly empty pools of the bathhouse have filled as if overnight. Warm, welcoming steam rising from the mineral-rich waters of the open pools. When prompted, the native robots relay ancient claims that the water has healing properties for organic lifeforms, though they can’t elaborate on any details. They don’t seem to have much to say about gender segregation, either.

Nevertheless, the temperature is just perfect for the chilly weather, and those who strip down and dip their toes in may find their muscles soothed and their minds cleared of the mysterious effects of the fog... not to mention any other worries or reservations they might have arrived with. As long as you’re in the water, you feel perfectly at peace. So why not relax for a while and enjoy some skinship with your fellow arrivals?

Please feel free to plot in the comments here. Post questions and toplevels to the event log.

Kainé | Nier

[personal profile] thorniest 2020-07-05 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Kainé
Canon: Nier
A5: yo
Permissions: ayyy(100% OTA for smut; she's 23, if it matters)
Plans: I wanna hit all three options! The library will largely consist of Kainé being baffled by technology, so that's a good opportunity for some smart and friendly person to come help her figure her bracelet out, and then possibly watch some porn together (or just talking; this one could def stay gen). For the bathhouse, she'll be trying to stop by later at night, when it's likely to be less crowded; also, when she gets in, she'll be wearing a towel. That said, the water's gonna wash her cares away, so the towel will be discarded pretty quickly. I'm mostly looking for smut here; she's got water on her A5 card, and I wanna hit that shit. That said, if you just want to have a chill, naked hang sesh in the bath, I'm also down for that.

I'm not 100% certain about the fog yet. She's definitely going to wander into it, thinking there's a monster causing it that she can murder, but... I'm torn between having her wander out zombielike and in need of a good shtupping, and having her come out searching for her grandmother, which would be less sex-oriented. Open to input on that one, and in general!

I'd love to get some CR with Kainé and Adora. She's so radically different from everyone Adora deals with that it'd be interesting for her. I'd be cool with bathhouse things or library stuff since Adora's not the *best* with tech but she's familiar with stuff around this tech level. Could be gen or not, either way works for me.

Ffff I was literally just thinking of poking at your plotting comment. Great minds.

Anyway, yes. I'm thinking the library prompt, since she needs to be taught, and it would give them space to talk. Also, there's always the option of her 'thanking' Adora according to local custom further in, since... god knows she's dogshit at actually saying thank you in a normal fashion.

I'm fine with that. Adora's pretty down with being thanked like that. It's a faster way to get home, which is her goal, and she's big on working together anyway.

Rad. I'll get the TL up later this evening, and drop a link here!

Annette is Not Competent with tech sadly since she is a Ye Olde but I think it'd be funny if they both fumbled around and ended up accidentally watching porn together. The bathhouse is also my jam too though; whatever floats your boat!

I'm canonblind to Nier but Kainé sounds pretty neat.

[personal profile] thorniest 2020-07-05 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah Kainé technically comes from the far future, but societal decay has made her basically a Ye Olde, so they're in the same boat. And I would love that! There's no better or more natural way to bond with someone than by accidentally pulling up pornhub and just going with it.

"so.....how 'bout that dick"

But let's run with that then! Do you know if you'll be top leveling at all? Otherwise I'm happy to write up a starter for us.

[personal profile] thorniest 2020-07-05 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Mine's bigger."

I'm writing up a top-level now! I'll link you when it's ready.

[personal profile] overannchiever 2020-07-05 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Kainé can't say that and not show it

but sweet, I'll definitely hop on that as soon as it's up! 👀

These two definitely need to meet up. I’m assuming it could be the library prompt since Kaine will need help figuring all this fancy technology stuff. I’m up for anything to be honest.

Oh god, yes, please help her. Stop her from smashing things.

Not yet, but I'll be putting one up this evening, so I can link you when I do!
