Thank you, everyone, for your thought-provoking involvement in this chapter!

And with the most recent conversation of Lachesis, the New Vesuvius chapter of the overarching modplot has come to a close. Logs and posts are still ongoing of course, and character direction may still evolve from such.

Now, every chapter has had a purpose, specifically a question, that was answered. And back to the question that themed this chapter: Why? Why is it important to fight? We have seen that Vulcanus is gunning for domination over imPorts, even if it might benefit the rest of humanity. But as some characters inquired: how can any utopia exist at the horrific expense of other citizens? Isn't that unjust? How can this terrible possibility that was New Vesuvius be eliminate?

Let's begin some discussion on what you, the players, might want to do to organize your characters into action! It doesn't have to be literal super-heroism (though those antics are always welcomed!), and you can involve plots or arcs that you've already been working with (for example, many imPorts interact with the Phantasm, and maybe you'd like to run with that vein). This is also a good place to outline how you envision the fallout of recent events, in regards to your characters. We're looking for structural advantages that can found new plot angles that you might want to take. This is an open discussion for brainstorming, talking, or hardcore organizing. It's a stepping stone to set you in a fun direction. There is no wrong way to do this.

If you have any questions or comments, please leave them here for me!

I am pretty much down with all these thoughts, especially the last two. ESPECIALLY those last two.

The only thing I'm waiting on personally is the fact that very little is known ICly by characters who weren't in NV. So until people start spilling the beans, the characters who stayed in the City are useless to help in terms of putting together any kind of action. Example, right now Kotetsu (as Wild Tiger) has a few ins with Phantasm, but he doesn't know that he should be going to them to gather information or allies.

What kind of information would have to come out ICly for Wild Tiger to initiate things with Phantasm?

Well, the idea for an IC info post might be enough. Since, technically, he has already been helping Jack research Vulcanus in general. But the sense of urgency isn't there yet, nor is the realization what Vulcanus wants to do to Imports here.

A little inspiration goes a long way - Kotetsu's not as smart as some of his colleagues, so he may not get the idea until someone else jogs his brain toward it.
