Week One Check-in

[personal profile] venetianprince 2016-09-21 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Nio has been building business at the hall while subtly sabotaging and driving off darksiders, trying to make it an entirely duskling hall despite what he says about being open to "all" patrons

He's making plenty of enemies and ignoring all of them.

Week Two Check-In

[personal profile] venetianprince 2016-09-30 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Nio deals with Verena over matters of the tithe, but otherwise is continuing his normal agenda of building up Twilight Hall and driving away darksiders.

I didn't get to do much this mingle but next mingle...! I will tag ALL THE THINGS and stick Nio's nose in everyone's business.

Week one for Beatrice: mostly she's been attempting to hustle the newcomers (and Nio) for coin and running packages and information where it needs to go. And very much avoiding Sabetha.

During the first mingle's festivities Ellen and Mitsuki met up and were able to act normal until thy managed to sneak off to someplace private and act like the lovestruck dorks that they are.

Otherwise, he's been doing the subtle info-gathering and info-smuggling he does for Mani. Basically acting oblivious in crowded places while actually being very observant and eavesdropping, things like that. Is there anything important to the Jaunt he'd be able to pick up on? Or would that be way overstepping his role? (If it is overstepping I'll just handwave that everything he learns is important for bankers but not so much for Travelers.)

As far as future plans, there is one big personal plot thing between the Duskcrossed pair - figuring out Ellen and Mani's backstory and how it'd affect Mitsuki in a private plurk kind of snowballed into actual plot, sorry. Anyway, several years back Ellen actually punched someone to death after that someone tried pulling a knife on Mani. Mani's parents ended up being convinced to let Ellen stay and covered it up so very few people know much about it, and only a highly select few know the truth. Mitsuki doesn't yet know about this. Either this coming mingle or the one after, someone is going to threaten Mitsuki and Ellen's going to nearly punch them to death - the only thing that saves them is he doesn't want Mitsuki to watch him kill someone. Ellen and Mitsuki will end up talking about it, with him telling her about the guy he ended up killing before. There will be several awkward day/night cycles following that where they're each going to be scared the other wants to break up. But when they finally get brave enough to talk to each other again they'll realize they both still very much want to stay together and it'll be back to your regularly scheduled Duskcrossed fluff.

As for the dude that had his face rearranged, Mani's parents might or might not cover it up again and might or might not learn about Ellen's taboo romance. Megan's not sure yet. If they don't cover it I'm assuming that the threat of actually being killed will be enough to keep the NPC quiet about the whole thing, but idk I'd be open to talking about the possibility of this event causing bigger shenanigans later.

Week 1 Check-in

[personal profile] callyourname 2016-09-23 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
She kind of accidentally met Ellen face to face ( or maybe it wasn't so accidental ) and they sneak up somewhere to spend some fluff time together!

Other than that, I'm very behind with everything but other plans for first week ( which i'm gonna still backtag ) are just general -- uh possibly talking to people and sitting at cafes, writing songs and letters and stuff that she hides in her room or sends to Ellen. And not drawing attention to herself... It's a calm and quiet start.

And probably calm and quiet before the storm considering Rain's comment above about our plans above.

So! Thorne has spent the week mostly hanging in the cafe, trying to convince people of her conspiracy theories and incidentally collecting new ones. Next mingle (really starting this week) she'll be putting her money where her mouth is when it comes to her The Council Is Poisoning Us Theory and go on the Duskling Diet. (Thanks, Claudia. Really.)

... she may be publishing an interview by real life Hell Denizen Lucifer, depending if Luci is willing to give one.

Oh, right, gotta do that checking in thing. Checking in! :D

Does sympathy pints include food, or only drinks? >.> Asking as a broke and hungry and very large elf who still needs to eat...

Also, where exactly is he to be looking for this evidence? Paperwork and purchasing records in the city, or something more tangible?

Also-also, are the BOARDERS of this boarding house being kicked out, too, or only the management and darksider staff? Mostly for pre-Jaunt-CR plotting purposes.

So mingle 1 Roderik/Riddick was mostly stalking his former boarding house, watching the newcomers and being dismayed by how uncouth and unsteady they are (thanks Matthew), grumbling at various pubs, and getting himself couchspace at Virva/Vilari's place. He'll get down to business with more research digging in the next mingle, now that he's got a place to stay and he's realizing just how much he hates Feli, who he feels is going to mismanage his former home into the ground :P He wants to find some loophole or explanation for all this that he can exploit.

I may also tag him into the council log with him trying to get at records there, if I have time tomorrow.

Also, I might vy to get him working with Raidou, if Zoe is up to it.

Week 2 saw Raidou continuing to check in on the farms, checking the guarded facility in Gritta, and telling Riddick/Roderik what he knows (which is in progress).

Week 3 is research week, in which Raidou takes on some of the research Riddick needs to do, in exchange for Riddick checking out the farms and the warehouse. He'll also be trying to figure out what they're doing to the food, or at least why they're doing it, but that's probably going to require at least some talking to people.

He would also really like to know who owns that factory. Is there any way he could find that out? For that matter, is there anything more he could find for Riddick?

What's the expected background of someone on the council? Both in terms of socio-economic status, and of prior career background. How do people get added to the council? Is it by appointment, by vote, by competition?

How secretive is the council about their adaptive technology? Can authorized members use it freely, or should they be trying their hardest not to get noticed with it? For that matter, how obvious are the goggles?

How long has Sabetha had the goggles? Would she just be getting them at the beginning of the Jaunt, or should she have had a week or two to adjust already?

What's the purpose of the tithe? Does the generally accepted purpose differ from the actual purpose? Are there any particular criteria for selection, or does each Collector determine their own prey? Has it ever been a voluntary process?
