TRAIN-CRASHING NEAR YOU

Heya, bonjour, think of Bastille! This post will serve as the main plotting and Q&A hub for our recent event and test drive meme (TDM).

Feel free to make a plotting comment, if you want — and to flag if you're playing a TDM participant or an existing character in the comment title, to help with precious, beautiful organisation.

Thanks so much and enjoy!

Happy for her to approach Arha, though because of the aforementioned overwhelming feelings of dread, it might not end up quite a "HEY YOU'RE DEAD" moment.

As the second person to approach Arha with this particular reveal, Catra will find the warlord already testy on the subject — in a fit of fury, he will scream that he and his people would never fail Hatisse by perishing before she has been released by the Attaryl, and he will accuse Catra of attempting to poison his mind with doubts. Catra will be dragged away for two days of house arrest, under the close supervision of six ghost soldiers, all increasingly more corporeal as the days pass. She will retain access to her quartz stone.

Arha will visit on multiple occasions throughout her imprisonment to ask, half savagely ridiculing, half himself haunted, how it is that he died, if Catra knows so much? Where is this enemy who killed them? They go to Taravast, the road is empty, Hatisse will open the gates once they reach the citadel, and they join her to defend her against her sister witches — how do they die, then? He will appear in real want of an answer, more seeking to talk himself into confidence in what he knows to be true.

After her release, Catra will be very closely watched by the ghost soldiers and will find herself given the worst camp tasks and strictly forced to obey the curfew. She will no longer be allowed to do night watches, if she intended to.

Eleven is the first lucky news breaker for Arha, and their player's planning a (network) post by 18 July — if you could do one sharing Catra and Arha's situation with the group in the 20-22 July period, that'd be great!

*rubs hands* CAN DO

*slides in here* so, uh. I know I'm late on this, but, one question: can I NPC Arha in my network post?

Hey! Please excuse the account, just mid-NPC log comment — what were you thinking of having Arha do?

No problem! Just barge into where Catra is being held (I'm assuming some kind of tent?) and ask questions.

You're welcome to summarise the questions I've mentioned, if that's what you were thinking, sure!

Was thinking of typing them out, actually - the idea is that, as Catra addresses the network, Arha barges in and the crystal picks up their dialogue.

... can the crystals even do that tho

They can capture external sound. I think probably best not to type out of Arha's comments, if possible, since there's still an ongoing unknown on whether he's villainous or well-meaning — portraying him as either might skew things!

Ahh, gotcha! Gonna edit that then~

If that works on your side, that'd be great! If not, I guess I could take a look / suggest tweaks to make his comments more neutral.

hello it's me again with more questions

is there any extra info catra could get from arha by asking the right questions or paying attention to detail?

Hello! What would those questions be?
