PLOT ROLLS | JUNE

[groundrules]

Hello, hello! The latest plot rolls are now live, linked below. They cover events between 22 June and 5 July.

As a reminder: everyone can participate, even if you didn't sign up. The recommendation is to choose one plot roll, to avoid getting overwhelmed — but no one's the boss of you.

You can make your own network posts, or play things out in the logs linked below.

NPC threads have been allocated, but threads will go up within the next few hours — you'll receive a relevant link at the time.

Feel free to use this post for all your plotting needs.

■ THE SUNKEN | LOG | Questions | Plotting

■ THE DISSENT | LOG | Questions | Plotting

■ THE CONCORD | LOG | Questions | Plotting

■ THE PRIESTS | LOG | Questions | Plotting

While much of the events overlap in terms of timeline, loosely you are looking at: the Sunken (towards the edges of the Crossing), the Concord, then the Priests (as the ships deepen their journey into the Crossing). The Dissent takes place more broadly throughout.

Can you give me more specific questions, please?

Hmm. He would at first let them talk about what they find strange, knowing that for them strange might be different from what people consider so, but for more specific questions that he's likely to ask, with phrasing that takes into account, well, small animal attention span,

1. Do undead often, or recently, visit the ship?

2. Has something happened recently that they don't remember happening before?

3. Have the sailors suddenly changed how they act, or are they behaving as they ever have?

He doesn't expect anything necessarily, but probably safer to ask than not.

Heya!

1. If by 'undead' you mean ghosts — they see wisps of those, though definitely fewer than what the animals of the Pariah or the Queen Zanyra might report. The Concord isn't as deep into the Crossing (yet). If you mean undead, as in zombies or reanimated dead — none seen aboard the Concord.

2. The skirmish between the Concord, the Pariah and the Queen Zanyra was definitely a shock! And Subaru's team set fire to some of the sails, which generated quite a bit of chaos on board, leading to several injuries.

3. The sailors are certainly more alert and paranoid, and they're haunted by the same kind of symptoms of haunting that Su Xunxian might have witnessed among the crews of the Pariah and the Queen Zanyra — just more diluted, since the Concord's a bit farther out of the Crossing.

Thank you!

Re the undead, more of the latter, but all noted!
