Cycle 004: Open the Red Door

WHO: Sam Belli
WHEN: From where we last off with good ol' Sam up through November 10th (opens the game up to the 10th, as well).
WHERE: Las Vegas, Nevada
WHAT: More disappearances to cull. Flashback and older scenes are still fine, but we needed to move forward. Just date/time any scenes you want to do accordingly. Annie, Ginny, and Jenny are going to go missing. Staff overturn is usually not this high. Desperation is up. Belli is on his way to town.
WARNING: This post assumes communication to Belli from various characters that would have had to happen off screen. Remaining employees of the Door can all also have knowledge of these events (disappearances/dead body/suspect). Clients need to have been clued in (either questioned as a suspect or otherwise engaged in the rumor mill). If things need to be assumed or glossed off-screen.

Cycle 004: Open the Red Door

WHO: Sam Belli (Open to Mike McBrayer)
WHEN: November 2nd, 1999, early afternoon.
WHERE: Las Vegas, Nevada
WHAT: This post unlocks the next few days in-game! Tuesday, November 2nd through Friday, November 5th. Anything can be posted up to that point, though please keep continuity in mind (might not want to jump to friday night if everyone else is still playing out their monday morning hangover scenes, for instance). Flashback scenes are still very encouraged!
WARNING: This post is not a group post, but does contain pertinent information. Namely, that Avery -- an established and popular incubus at the Red Door -- vanished on October 31st.

Cycle 004: Open the Red Door (starter)

WHO: Marcus, Prasad, Red Door Staff
WHEN: Sunday, October 31st, 1999
WHERE: Nevada, mostly on US95 between Mina and Las Vegas.
WHAT: This post unlocks the first couple days of Cycle 4! It’s Halloween! If you want to respond to new cargo arrival (or play something simultaneous to this happening), feel free to post below, otherwise you can now go off to start your own threads for the cycle! Flashback threads to establish character connections and history solos are all A-OK, so anything from character birth through Halloween and Dia de los Muertos (so until midnight, November 1st).
WARNING: This post isn't going anywhere, so don't feel like you have to jump on it right away if you're one of the few people still working on the cycle 3 finale/incompletes. We DO still want to give our last story a proper close if we can! Those of you who are antsy to get started on new stuff, however, please have at. Anything that might go into high-rating territory should be peeled off into its own thread with appropriate warnings.

Cycle 003: Voyage of the Mare Crisium (Integration)

WHO: Everybody (this is a group plot post)
WHEN: This post actually takes place Wednesday, June 12th, but nobody knows that.
WHERE: The Hive
WHAT: This plot post IS an interactive scene, and characters can feel free to interact below and are encouraged to do so! We’re also going to take care of some of the inactive PCs with this post, as well as give people a chance to mix up their locations. Huzzah! Removes Emma, Jon, and Eden from the pool.
WARNING: Please take care not to assume with other player characters. Give others some chance to react/weigh in before rushing ahead to a finish an interaction. That’s the fun of group posts! Everyone can and should interact! But it is a little trickier because of that, so just be considerate.

Cycle 003: Voyage of the Mare Crisium (June 8th)

WHO: Everyone!
WHEN: Saturday, June 8th, dawn
WHERE: Nowhere, Middle Of
WHAT: Opening another calendar day spent on the island. This post bumps the calendar forward and contains a GROUP MEETING, so feel free to reply here if you want your character to have an assigned job, share information, pitch ideas to the group as a whole or publicly interact with/argue with/question everyone else! MODNOTE: It is cool to respond to this post with short tags, like in an interview/1st person post.
WARNING: This post does assume the presence of at least most of the cast. Characters are not required to respond, but all the information shared in this post and subsequent comments can be assumed as public knowledge. As always, please don't feel like you have to jump in new scenes right away if you're working on incompletes. Finish those first, if you can, for continuity’s sake. It’s totally okay to gloss a scene ending in order to move forward!

Cycle 002: Enter Crows Landing (Finale)

WHO: Open to Ophelia, Sam Belli, and Team Survivor (Aka: Any characters still alive)
WHEN: Between January 18th and January 30th (protip: if you guys tag in for the 30th, you’ll find an empty shop and will probably be disappointed)
WHERE: Crows Landing, Oregon
WHAT: The very last plot post for cycle 002! Scenes started in this specific thread will count against you as incompletes if they get dropped, and any final on-screen deaths will earn points towards the score tally. Post as little or as much as you like to resolve your character’s stories!
WARNING: This is the last thread of the cycle, so just about anything goes in here (within reason; keep it IC and feasible within this thematic setting). That means anything that you want to do that hasn't yet been done should be summed up or played out here. We're tidying up to get ready for Cycle 3, so this is the very last Cycle 2 post that will be posted to the comm.

WHAT: This post is being put up in order to avoid a lot of identical shop posts and push the calendar forward! Comment here if you want to visit the shop at anytime within the above dates, with the day and time of your visit in the header of your comment.

Game calendar is also now open for those days, but please keep continuity and the sanity of the thread-tracking mod in mind when posting multiple scenes, as well as game pacing. If we’re all on the 14th and you jump straight to the 18th, you’re gonna get bored waiting for us to catch up.
WARNING: This post isn't going anywhere, so don't jump on it right away if you're still in unfinished scenes. Finish those first so you know what happens to your character, for continuity's sake. ^_^ I have to do the same thing, so if Belli takes a little while to respond, please be patient with me!

WHO: Everyone.
WHEN: Starts at Dawn.
WHERE: The Eclipse Hotel, in Cantonville, Indiana
WHAT: The end of the line for Cycle 1! We kept this one short. Feel free to play out the last moments of your character's stay in the comments below, at any point from dawn until rescue. If they survive until rescue. NPCs can be approached or intercepted, but a mod will then come in with the NPC journal. And the crisis, as it were, cannot be entirely averted, I'm afraid. Scenes started in this specific thread will not count against you as incompletes, however any final on-screen deaths will earn points towards the score tally. Post as little or as much as you like!
WARNING: This is the last thread of the cycle, so just about anything goes in here (within reason; keep it IC and feasible within this setting). That means anything that you want to do that hasn't yet been done should be summed up or played out here. We're tidying up to get ready for cycle 2!
