[game post] A Gothic Winter Tale
Okay so here's what I have. Four categories of pups.
Please click through and comment with your AIM Screenname, your pup's name and journal name, as well as your availability and your preference for a plotlocked EP in the bar or an OOM, and if you'd like it to be hosted here or in your pup's LJ.
The Nommed: Your pup will meet V somewhere in the corridors of Milliways, perhaps in the library. They will be enthralled, fed upon, memory wiped. They will wake up some place safe with a wrist wound or the classic neck wound. As part of the plot, this encounter will end up with your pup EP'ing in the bar with a link to the OOM (hosted either here or in your pup's journal, your choice) and a chance for others in the bar to notice your pup's condition.
The Near-Nommed: Your pup will have a creepy encounter with a gentleman of Eastern European descent, perhaps in the halls, library or by the lake side. This could happen in a plot-locked EP or in OOM, again with a link posted in the bar.
The Non-Nommed: Immortals or other non-baseline humans that wanted to meet the Prince outside the bar.
The Investigators: Your pups will be interviewing the other pups regarding their interactions. How this plot unfolds depends on you. I don't want to rush it. Rather, I would like this to play out through the New Year, lending a little creepiness to the long cold winter nights.
I have no idea what the endgame looks like. I don't mind a pitchfork-and-torches welcoming crew, but please remember, my ultimate goal is to have him as regular in the bar, perhaps just better briefed on the rules.
I am open to any and all suggestions. This is my first plot, and I'd like it to be a good one.

Re: THE NEAR-NOMMED
Are you sure you don't want him nommed?
Re: THE NEAR-NOMMED
Losing memory would be pretty traumatic for someone with an eidetic memory, I'm unsure as to whether it could ever come back?
If he could regain it gradually/eventually, that would be neat, or if eidetic memory poses a problem for the wipe...
So... Nommed if he could eventually regain the memory somehow.
Re: THE NEAR-NOMMED
There's enough info out in the plot at this point that it would serve no purpose to mind wipe him.
EEEEEE ~fangirls your pup~
Re: THE NEAR-NOMMED
I'm not sure how much you prefer to work out beforehand... and, when are we going to do this? I have about 6-7 hours right now before I have to be off.
...I has found another Zack fan? yay! <3
Re: THE NEAR-NOMMED
I'm kinda curious what Zack expects from a classic Gothic Horror encounter. We're aiming for creepy not gory.
And I have other threads ongoing right now, so I can't start right away. We're still in Act II, headed into Act III, so end game is a long way off.
More tomorrow?
Re: THE NEAR-NOMMED
And of course, he's baseline human, I wouldn't imagine that being a genius would count as non-baseline. I'm willing to try most anything with him as long as he doesn't get permanently broken, including Gothic Horror.
I'm fine with whenever would be best to bring him in, I'm sure you have the best idea of where things would fit, being central to the plot and all...
Yep, more tomorrow.
