MASKORMENANCE will open to all current players this evening. The CAPEANDCOWL half will be kept open for people to finish backtagging and wrapping up any plotlines you might have. Pleasure ensure that you've joined the MoM communities!

GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK...

You reach out to Lachesis. She feels you, she accesses you.

One last grin, then a bust of bright light.

It feels as if both you and Lachesis are both suddenly and extremely positively charged -- you repel away, as she seems to from you. If she speaks to you, and you think she does, you don't hear her words, but you feel them. You feel the tone in the very marrow of your bones, you feel the pride and disdain and regret in the nucleus of every atom. As you shoot like comets against the darkening, collapsing vacuum, you feel the glimmer of hope that she always held for you.

You were always the heroes of Lachesis.

Your body seems airy, weightless, even abstract. The transition happens in seconds, but you feel every darkyear of travel, you feel yourself moving through the membrane of this universe. It isn't like before, it isn't a quick blink, a pop.

This one is forever.

The buzz down your spine informs you that you're whole again, you're here. You feel the normality of logical atmosphere once more. Your muscles are sore, but you know you're alive.

You open your eyes and --

Daily updates will come until the 7th, when the final plot post will be available.

January 6th, 2014
While the slight shifts in the Earth's rotation are not yet pronounced, the continually reduced tides are already causing issues for global trade. Natives are panicking. Some institutions are trying to hold control and offer solace (local community centers, humane organizations), but people understand what's going on. The end is nearing. The hours oscillate between people holed up inside their homes, holding their loved ones, and spontaneous fervor on the streets: doomsday prophets flood like the Red Sea onto streets, looters take full advantage of abandoned shops. Television is interfered with, often you will find only dead air. The President holds an address on public radio twice a day, but it's more for morale than any initiatives. There is no united front among nations, as every populace is trying to fend for itself.

Stars have begun to vanish from the sky -- the dimmest at first, those that are billions of lightyears away. But slowly, familiar constellations vanish. With a telescope, you can see the faint golden glow of the expanding bubble.

It is coming.

Metal no longer groans, it whispers. All metal whispers, and it all keeps saying one thing.

Atropos.

By nightfall, 45% of all electricity in public places has been cut. It's a very, very dark world, with no moon and dying constellations. The ground trembles beneath your feet.

That SOMETHING hiding, robed in darkness, now screams over the atmosphere. Big swaths of metal is ripped from the earth, stripped form building. It rises, spiraling to the sky above.

The bubble can be seen in the sky, now.

January 5th, 2014
The remaining lunar pieces begin to orbit Earth, forming a thin and Saturn-like ring. The tides stand still. This does not bode well for sea life. There is no moonlight, which is hardly peculiar given then circumstance -- what is odd, however, is the reoccurring shadow that seems to eclipse the sun for a few moments every couple of hours.

The bubble born on the other side of the universe keeps expanding. When it envelopes something, it begins to change the physics and chemistry of the universe, as if one alternative universe is fighting to breathe within another.

Back on Earth, animals begin to flee, and seek wilderness. Perhaps because they could sense the bizarre groaning about to come: the groaning and moaning of all metal-based objects. It almost sounds humanlike, and it definitely sounds deeply pained.

January 4th, 2014
Today, in the City and the world, things are eerily calm. But somewhere, in the cold depths of space on the other side of the universe, a bubble expands. It begins as an inert, microscopic nothing – as it has been for 13 billion years – but then it grows. And its growth accelerates.

By night, moon shards will catch Earth's orbit, and some dozens will fall through the atmosphere. By the time the moon pieces hit the Earth, they will be anywhere from a yard to three yards in length and width. Watch out for these penile missiles.

The SOMETHING that broke the moon is quiet.

Beginning tomorrow, strange things will start to happen to the Cityverse. These are all elements that foreshadow what is to come, and players are encouraged to react to the stimuli. Bigger changes come with the New Year, and whatever is breaking apart the world now will be noticed. This is all prelude to the reboot information ongoing in January, when a post will come in the first week!

( it's the end of the world as we know it )

Hi, CNC! As a reminder, all imPorts sent to Capers returned to the City as of noon on the 29th, but of course please feel free to continue backtagging your threads and logs and definitely enjoy all your new or continued CR!

There's plenty to take away from this rodeo, and I don't mean only dinosaurs. Between the injuries, the chaos -- even a death -- it's hard not to wonder who engineered this perfect foes for you in the first place, because they almost seemed to be expecting you. In fact, some imPorts may still need your help taking their metaman down, so if you're able to lend a hand by all means, do!

As mentioned in the original plot post, this was the final off-world chapter of modplot, meaning what remains will all go down on City turf. At least that can be prepared for!

Any questions and comments in regards to this chapter are also welcomed. Thanks, everyone, as always your involvement means so much!

Jack Bauer never came back from Capers. He died permanently while fighting the Metamen.

Jack’s been around since 2010, and more than seventy dead terrorists later I feel he's run his course and that I've done all I wanted with his character arc. Besides, I couldn't possibly think of a better way for him to go out than in a dimension-spanning Wild West dinosaur showdown with the superhuman forces of his hated terrorist enemy.

He doesn't leave behind anything of note besides a trove of information on Vulcanus, which will be made accessible to members of City Hall, the City Police Department, and the Department of Integration. These characters can then share it in any way they like. In light of recent events, information from a scientist indicating that Vulcanus production of Metamen has been interrupted may be of particular importance.

I'll be sticking around with him for a while to wrap up his last threads in Capers- please let me know if you would like to do anything with him! But in terms of IC knowledge, when the ImPorts returned to the City they were minus one counterterrorism agent. Jack’s body will remain in Capers to be cremated by meteorites because hell yes.

I'm grateful I've been able to have such a long and exciting run with this character. Thank you so much to everyone who made it such a blast to play Jack in this game!

out_of_time

Just a quick notice that due to recent therapy breakthroughs and (mostly) good behaviour all year, Jack Bauer will no longer be bound by his NOHoPE release conditions. This means that he can take off the ankle tracker, stay out later, leave the City, carry a firearm, conduct arrests, and generally push harder in his mission.

If anyone wants to plot anything related to this, please let me know!

and by 'missing' i mean 'experimented on, then decayed until they were ashes and/or less than such'.

So Nemesis here not only has a superiority complex, but he's also a scientist at ~~spark~~ heart and has a certain lack of empathy when it comes to others as test subjects. Especially when they're gross non Cybertronians. I mean, ew. Seriously. Seriously.

WITH THAT SAID...Nemesis is up to some sneaky shenanigins! First of which is breaking in to a local laboratory. This will be performed via his power, The Darkness, and basically end up with "what is that black splotch on security cameras we don't understand also why are all the locks decimated and looking like they're hundreds of years old and rusted and i don't even and WHERE IS ALL OUR STUFF!?!?" Because I am ever so specific and scientific, he will be stealing Generic Science Items^TM. Nothing overly big, but some chemicals, tools, etc etc etc.

The reason for this? He will also be nabbing a few NPCs off the street, not being particularly picky other than 'they're alone, they're human, let's do this'. Cue that NPC disappearing forever more and never seen/heard from again. He won't be going out of his way to grab high-profile people, but he won't be actively avoiding them, either. No bodies will be found as, again, Nemesis will be cleaning up after himself.

If anyone wants to follow up on the theft and/or the missing persons, they're welcome to! In either case there won't be MUCH to go off of, but I am 100% up for working with someone (or ones) long-term for Things. B)

This post serves as a quick overview of the group assignments, NPCs and setup your characters are likely to encounter for the City Hall bomb plot! The original information post is here and Bradbury's IC post (taking place on the morning of the 16th) is here.

The log will be put up prrrobably this evening (sorry for the delay)! All groups were RNG-generated.

( BOMB DISPOSAL )

( KIDNAPPERS )

Feel free to use this post as a space to discuss how you'd like to play out the encounters! Since most people indicated no preference or a preference for running their own NPCS, these descriptions are as loose as possible to give you room to play out the encounter as you like. Should you want more detail on your encounter to be provided, just ask away.

'sup CnC, Kytha and Jill here to bring you a quick upcoming plot!

On the morning of September 16, Bradbury's security team going to intercept a mail bomb addressed to Mitch. The catch? It's one of City Hall's newer secretaries that was responsible for bringing the bomb in. He also nearly escapes by attempting to break through a wall, displaying super-human strength despite being a local Cityzen.

Upon successfully being subdued, the secretary reveals something considerably more worrisome: there are currently multiple explosive devices planted in and around the building, that he isn't working alone, and that the plan is to "bring down City Hall" by noon. After assessing the situation, Bradbury's going to decide that the City's Bomb Disposal Unit is going to need all the help it can get, especially if these 'allies' turn out to have super-powers as well, and will contact the Network as City Hall is being evacuated.

There are essentially two parts of this plot you can choose to participate in, as follows:

( WHAT'S GOING DOWN )

( HOW THIS WORKS )

( CURRENT SIGN-UPS )

Remember, although access to Level Two closed after 8/31/2013 in order to reduce any great need for time retcons, you can still backtag within Level Two. Post your achieved action arcs and anything you're claiming as rewards here. Backtagging in both levels is of course encouraged, since some lovely CR has been made and is in the making.

Upon being ported back from Asthenoa, your character may have been ported back anywhere along the east coast (unless you were zapped from the game at 11PM 8/31/2013 on the dot, in which you return to anywhere you'd like within the City). If you wish your character to still have any injury sustained in Asthenoa, that's up to you. You are free to have your characters realize that they were never ported off-world, that in fact they were summoned into a video game the whole time. If they find the warehouse housing the Vulcanus video game (which has since malfunctioned and is defunct, hence why everyone ported back safely, but information about the video game coding can be deduced and thus incriminate Vulcanus).

The huge volcano might have been a hint, too. And the name Asthenoa.

Vulcanus won't know you know, in fact, they were hoping this ploy would garner more time for them to organize. So now's your chance to get gears in motion! Retaliation? Political outcry? Social media movement?

If you want to organize an imPort-led reaction, or if you have a plot idea inspired, you can discuss that in here! Any questions and comments in regards to this chapter are also welcomed.

Thanks, everyone, for making this chapter so fun!

The log for the next chapter of modplot is here.

The level two monster list is here.

The original informative post for this plot is here.

As a reminder, your prompts can happen ANYWHERE as long as they occur in THREE DIFFERENT TAGS. You cannot have three prompts fulfilled in one tag, you cannot have two prompts fulfilled in one tag. Ideally you will spread out all your prompts across different threads.

YOU WILL PROVE YOU ACHIEVEMENTS HERE. You MUST link ALL THREE OF YOUR PROMPTS before accessing the labyrinth level thread – otherwise known as Level Two.

YOU WILL PROVE YOUR ACTIONS ARCS HERE. You need two to seven COMPLETED action arcs to consider yourself a winner. You will not get any of the rewards if you do not prove your action arcs here in this post.

Have fun!

The kids have apologized (sort of), and with that the shrinking plot is over, people have returned to their accustomed size, and everything is back to as normal as it gets around here. Yay!

This was my first attempt at a C&C player plot, and I'm delighted with how helpful and enthusiastic everyone I discussed it with was, especially Jesse. Thanks, everybody!

As of this post of pint-sized failure, Calvin and Valeria's Shrinking Plot is in swing! Affected characters can now make their own posts and logs detailing their downsized adventures, or tag into this open log with its prompts. The plot will last until the 14th, when the effect is reversed for all ImPorts. Calvin and Valeria will do another joint post at that point to ~~blame each other~~ calmly explain what happened and maturely take responsibility for their mistakes.

Please let me or Carolyn know if there are any questions!

As of today (Thursday, August 8th), the canon-swap plot is fully over, and everyone has returned to their usual selves. (Anyone who'd like to can yell at Archer over it here, where he admits to being the cause.) You can blur memories as necessary to avoid infomodding any alarming details of other canons, but otherwise everyone will be able to look back in dismay and remember all the weird things they did in their other identities.

Thank you for your participation, everyone!

Good evening Cnc! Jill here, with not so much a plot, but a small event happening here in the near future! As of this post, Ozzie is letting the cat out of the bag that he's going to be starting to do a theme night every other month.

So August 16th, there'll be a rather fancy party at the Iceberg Lounge, in the evening. As long as your character shows up to match the "theme" of this particular night, they'll get in free of charge.

Now the particular theme for this night is gonna be 50's night, and there'll be more than just themed dancing of course, but there won't be just drinking and dancing, but there will also be dinner tables (for a price of course) and a raffle near the end of the night with ~*~fabulous prizes~*~ that are yet to be determined.

So this is just a heads up for imports to get their period clothing ready, hit up the vintage shops, and then come and hang at the Iceberg and drink a lot of booze. (Ozzie would prefer you drink a ton.) Oh, and obviously, he's not going to allow anyone in who can't present their valid ID for drinking, for obvious reasons.

I will be putting a log up for this on the night of! And if there are any questions, feel free to hit me up!

HELLO EVERYONE. Stacey bringing you the most mundane of mundane plots: a City wide, PC run JOB FAIR.

Due to a great injustice, April has been forced into community service by Darth Mitch. This is taking form as a day long job fair organized by her, occurring (shockingly) in a City Park on August 10th. Naturally, as this is April, a vetting processes for who can have a booth is severally lacking. All player owned business, government agencies, crime rings, D&D groups, you name it, can sign up here to have a booth that unemployed, friendless, or otherwise bored characters can come by and learn about exciting new opportunities at.

This post is for business sign ups and pre-plotting if there is anyone in particular you want your character hired by. Otherwise, everyone is welcome to attend when the log goes up. OOCly we'll say April sent info to businesses a while ago, and a heavily procrastinated IC announcement will be going out on the 9th to inform the population at large it's happening. The actual log will go up on the 10th itself.

In sum: if you have a business/group you'd like to be involved please fill out the form below! The deadline for signing up will be the 10th, just so I can have a list of groups in the start of the log.
