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!

sergeant_slick: Slick is in 3/4 left profile, looking right hwith very dramatic lighting. He looks like he's in a makeup commercial. (listening)

He... he can even get extras.
sergeant_slick: Slick's looking down and away from the viewer, smirking. (smirk)

Excellent

the hair's very important, he can approximately pay for it even

though it might be done in pocket change, snacks, practical tips on how to keep safe when everything's going to hell, and where to avoid if you don't like getting brained by one of the doxe's guards

He's going to need it :)
sergeant_slick: A gun is being held to the back of Slick's neck, and he's sneering in defiance. (Default)

He can throw in something shiny and useless from the palace as a tip!

On a more notes:

Slick's going to try to have a kit of supplies put together for the trip onward--the Merchant supplied everybody a lot of stuff last time, but he's not feeling particularly trusting towards that guy. He's going to be keeping an eye out for preserved food, rope/cord, wire, a small wood-chopping axe, a compass... and if anybody on the magical or alchemical end of things in Taravast has something portable for water purification, he'd definitely want to negotiate for that.

And one other question--Do the Doxe's guys in the streets wear any sort of head or face protection? Any practical qualities to their masks? Slick's been missing his helmet.

I'd like to avoid micro-managing: if you want him to pick up a helmet, all for it. I only really care about character movements that are plot-moving.

Re: prep packages — happy for Slick to accrue his supplies, as he wouldn't know what to expect, but as a heads up: one of the destination options will basically require voyage that severely strips characters down of inventory. I'd say you'll be down to one weapon or one portable thing. So this might be for naught.

That said, again, Slick wouldn't know to anticipate that, so doing the rummaging that comes natural for him is a-okay.
