THE COUP

---

Grab a witch, a threadbare conspiracy, a harpoon — it's time to kick an old man off his throne. Our latest event has gone up here, also subbing as a test drive meme. Anyone trialing a character can app in until 21 December without an invite.

As a reminder, apps will not be judged over 24 December-2 January.

✘ Test drive meme questions

✘ ...and regular questions!

✘ Quest sign-ups: Moretti | Vannozza | Macaluso

✘ Vote on the fate of Doxe Bonaccorso Spina.


Feel free to make your own plotting comments here & tag around!

Hello! Jon and Allison get the dubious honour of talking down Moretti or one of them dying trying.

Logistically, there are two ways to handle this: either one of you guys writes the responses on behalf of both (and you discuss questions/reactions OOCly), or you take turns tagging in. I don't recommend both tagging at the same time, based on precedent with these things, but I'm not against that either. Just let me know how you prefer to handle it!

[rumorate]

I am good for either! Setting a tag order would be easier imo, rather than consulting for each tag, but I'm down for that too in a pplurk or discord chat.

Though a pplurk or discord chat might be good regardless for keeping Allison and Jon on the same page - we'll see how the Jon mun feels about it.

[groundrules]

Totally fine by me! And if you good people find your schedules/timezones aren't compatible, we can break this into two threads — I'll figure out timelines.

[rumorate]

Oh that's true too! Makes sense, I'm in EST, for arrangement purposes.

I talked to Emily, we have a dm running on Discord, and I hit it and tracked it so we can get rolling! I also thought a thread order was good, but I’m flexible about stuff like being skipped or occasionally switching up the order if it makes more sense for the other character to reply. We also discussed some basic goals and motivations and are on the same page.

(I’m also in EST but not usually around much until about 5pm.)

[groundrules]

Sure thing! So, just so I know who's doing what -- do you guys want to do: npc > jon > allison > npc , etc?

[rumorate]

Yes, that works for me!

[groundrules]

Great, thank you, happy to do that! I'll track the thread :)

[northerndragon]

Yes, that looks good for now! We’ll just switch it up if need be when the time comes (and make sure everyone knows what’s going on).

[groundrules]

Yes, sure! Just, if you're okay to let me know if someone's skipping a round or some such, so I don't hold you up :) Thank you!

Allison would reach out to Emilia on the Macaluso mission for a status update - Elle mentioned that they do succeed in rescuing him - would they be able to get that news within the 3 hour window?

[groundrules]

Heya - I think it might be Alina who gets to him first, but not sure how communication is between the teams (your best bet is probably a network post if you want to hit up everyone).

I'd assume they can get it done, because it probably took Allison and Jon 2h to get to Moretti + another 3 that Moretti is willing to stall, that's already 5+ hours since the quests began. Unless the rescuers mess up in some way (I don't know if they plan to!) and delay, I'd say that's a workable timeframe.

[rumorate]

Okay, good to know! I can definitely arrange a network post of some kind to incorporate everyone.

[groundrules]

Whatever works best on your side, that was just my thinking in case you wanted to avoid having to inbox too many folks - but yeah, I think 5h should be doable! God help them all.

[valeas]

Just so I don't assume anything that's wrong - does that mean Emilia and Zuko wouldn't have helped Alina get to Macaluso then?

[groundrules]

Sorry, yes - I meant TeamAlina - I'm not sure how you guys are playing it out, hence only referred to Alina (my bad for that!). But however you guys are doing it, fine by me.

[valeas]

No worries!! I'm just a worry wart that always needs to be 100000% sure.
Thank you for the clarification. ♥
