A wild post appears! Because organization is key when it comes to gaming, and we need a place to spam properly set this up, and so here it is: ( Mytho Redux )

Today, a drive-by shooting occurred, between Death's mob and Ares'. His people were in the car, hers just outside of an establishment (let's roll with restaurant, that's under their protection). People were injured, people got killed. It was a damn bloody mess, no doubt.

Here is the thread of what was discussed. If you want your character to have been there, shot by accident, whatever - go for it! Feel free to get chatty in the comments and all that. Law enforcement and the like should totally be involved.

FTR, Death would have been injured but non-fatally. She'll have her own reaction post later when I know my internet won't be so annoying. X(

That is all~

SOOOO!

Here's the thing. :| Early in the morning tomorrow, Rosier's going to drug the water of all the soldiers because it's his birthday and you fuckers are annoying...so you can be fucking drugged on his birthday...:| Everyone feel free to react! Have characters see soldiers not really with it. Here is some info on Opium. Here, too...but...yes. Niflheim and Iriy..should be pretty friggin' out of it...:| in terms of their soldiers...and Rosier doesn't care if that pisses anyone off.

Gabi will just be over here...being adorbs. YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES!

There may be a couple of moments here and there where I might just slink off because of my head but I am back now. ♥ So, considering the mod posts that have been fluttering around while I was away, lemme jump on how to tackle whatever comes to mind that needs to happen or be plotted out before the GREAT REVEAL~

→ Troilus will die this week before he recalls himself. Iriy and Niflheim, please poke me about upcoming battles or if I can just do this whenever I want. If any Niflheimian soldier wants to do it, tell me.
→ Death's twin should have already left his position sometime last week and has returned to Iriy in a very ill way. Probably will die before the month is out.
→ Death is aware how knocked up she is, must be handled somehow. Angie, PLEASE SEE THIS SOMEHOW, MOST MAGICALLY, ETC.
→ Persephone and Rosier have stuff to do soon. They are fierce~ (this is being plotted out)
→ Menelaus and Demeter have to...IDK, KAITLIN, ANGIE, JILL, HALP.
→ Thanatos is counting down the days when his cousin will be his son-in-law. I'm sure he's been eyeballing EVERYONE, just because.
→ Ryujin still isn't talking about Sigyn if he can help it though not denying her existence or that of Heimdall's. He personally has no interest in dealing with her betrayal as she's gone now. Definitely molesting Fuujins and finding a replacement for his Admiral. As far as he is concerned, life is back to whatever normal can be now.
→ Theseus has probably been veeeery doting to his family while waiting for news about his wife. X(
→ Somewhat randomly, Jubokko has a mild fever much to his horror. It's awful. Hyacinth would know and he would have told his sister, mostly to guilt her.
→ Lilith is still in Camelot, I think. JIC.

→ As Camelot knows about what Niflheim is doing and Samyaza and Pheme are printing stuff, news probably has leaked about the order by Daphne. So on part of my Niflheimians who are at war:
  ¤ Freyja knows this is part of war but she disagrees with the involvement of innocents. For the time, she is treating soldiers wounded by Iriyians but she would probably make any Niflheimian soldier she knows that killed an innocent suffer discreetly.
  ¤ Elaine is shocked and stressed. :| She's not written to anyone about this outside of Morgan and their regal cousin. She doesn't know what to say to Agravaine just yet and is trying to keep news of it from her children. Probably has been questioned or even sneered at by non-military individuals (though as more than likely swung her purse at them and called them all 'ignorant ninnies').
  ¤ Morgause says they were in the way but Niflheim must go forth. FTR, if and when she hears/heard about her niece get thrown over, Galahad and Medb would have heard or will hear from her.
  ¤ Jubokko does not care as he knows his sister is safe in the capital.
  ¤ Cù Sìth is injured and imprisoned in Niflheim but is totally thinking of his sister and niece-creature. And proud of himself. I don't know if anyone would tell him about the Camelot articles, though.

Updates will happen when needed. I'm totally available for any logging, minis, etc. Since there will be a plot post for the stuff during/after this coming weekend, I'll save that for then. ♥

Hey kittycats. ♥ Just dropping in to make a little announcement: because I'd rather move forward rather than backward so I can write about Heimdall, Igraine made a public announcement to all Camelotians on the 4th. It was probably long and terribly diplomatic. She spoke about the following:

→ Camelot's stance in the war (we are neutral and play no part)
→ How the borders have been invaded (no mention of violence, however)
→ That Niflheim would seek to harm anyone they came across, but that Iriy is also at fault, and so all towns close to the border are to be evacuated to cities closer to the capital
→ That a Niflhemian soldier risked his life to protect Camelot
→ That Camelot will not allow people to walk all over them, and will defend itself

etc etc. Basically, don't fuck with us. We are strong, we will not be trampled on.

Presumably Camelotian soldiers have been sent out to the border by now? I LOOKED AT THE TIMELINE. Shi, if you'd like, so we don't have to stretch out a log that won't get finished for another few days, we can discuss what they spoke about here? More or less her stance was: we can't allow help from another region, we are our own power and we'll protect ourselves.

Jill, plot to overthrow the queen, yes?

Because I've been...not doing what I'm supposed to do.

1. There was a funeral for the Sultan. Feel free to decide if your character came and what might have happened with them. Anubis didn't keep the people from coming because the Sultan was their leader and even if he didn't really want to deal with all those people, he didn't want to deprive them of it.

2. Anubis would have written to the leaders of the other regions about the change in leadership. In terms of Camelot, feel free to know about this Merlin and Igraine. I'm jello with this. He'd have probably talked with Iriy and Niflheim, making a point to reinforce the fact that their soldiers were not to break into Babylon. Of course, that would have been not listened to. Not really surprising, no? Set would have been given the go ahead to kill anyone that broke that rule. I think he had that go ahead before, but Anubis would have kept with it.

3. The NPC that killed the Sultan was questioned (and probably tortured) until she spoke. She was found guilty for the crime of killing the Sultan. Anubis is...probably deciding on her punishment. Val and Cara, if Osiris or Set have any input for this, feel free to give it.

4. The talks with Tecc. Have those happened? Should we assume that shit's been thrown to the wind and all talks are fucked or...do you guys want to put up a log about that. PLEASE RESPOND!

If I think of anything else, I will add to it. If YOU GUYS think of anything else, please comment with it below.

IMPORTANT POSTS TO KEEP IN MIND:

OOC post
Cù Sìth's mini
Pheme's post

That noted, we should probably plot how this stuff (articles, IC discussions and handling) will go down since time is an issue with this particular matter (in relation to the articles Samyaza wants done). A lot is going on but let's try to stay on top of it and tackle details best we can. All characters who have something to do with this should respond here, please.

Sleeping shortly but I figured this plot post was needed. And just to push things along, I'll be quick about giving a summary of Lilith's intentions. Nothing is in stone, I'm just hoping to save some time by laying out the intent.

Lilith left Iriy early on the 31st of July, will enter the capital of Camelot by the 1st of August. She will expect to see the queen pretty damn quickly about the Iriyian issues. Considering the woman is now a NPC, this is an area to be discussed.

But no matter who she meets, she will not be in a pleasant mood for games or otherwise. She will press that Iriyians do NOT want to be in Camelot, they have no interest in Camelot and that she is all for the exit of their troops out but that would not make an ounce of difference if they left considering the powerful Niflheimians that will still be in Camelot.

As noted in the post linked, Lilith would want a joint effect to remove the Niflheimian threat. It's not as if Camelot can do it alone, she would say, as Niflheim are advanced. But Camelotians know their land best and the Iriyians want out of Camelot but do not want to leave the murderous Niflheimians to involve Camelot more. Joining forces is advantageous and nothing else.

Depending on when the news of what Niflheim is doing is spread, she will even use that as an example as to why Camelot should, for their own good, help Iriy push Niflheim back (and later be punished for their war crimes). But as of right now, only the Niflheimian army, Cù Sìth and his family plus the Camelotian government know about those details.

OK, GO GO PLOTTING AND LET US SORT THIS MATTER.

Alright, kiddos. I know. I know...OOC post eleventy million! It's all to keep you informed!

In the next week, an NPC Babylonian who is fed up with the way that things are going is going to sneak into the palace disguised as a servant. Unfortunately for our dear NPC!Sultan, he's going to get pushed out a window and fall to his death. Anubis, as the prince, will be asked to step up and take on leadership of Babylon. From there, he will contact those in power as a sort of "Hello, I'm the new Sultan and blah blah blah."

He'll be checking in on things and probably make things a lot tighter around the palace because...he can't have all this nonsense of getting thrown out windows. ANYWAY...The NPC will get caught and brought in for proper punishment and well, admittedly, they will probably be killed. It's kind of what happens when you kill the Sultan. :| No mercy and all that.

I'm toying with the idea of underground tunnels/hideouts being built/already being...real. Somewhere where a few people who want to gtfo and not die can go and hide...but also for the soldiers to use for sneaking and...shooting bitches...from underground. ANYWAY. This could be my insanity talking...but...yes.

Niflheim soldiers, do you remember this?

Cù Sìth is going to get involved in something that is going to not go well for him. Disapproving of this 'kill ANYONE that saw you' order, he will come across a young Camelotian pregnant mother and immediately be conflicted. Rather than follow his Marshal's command, he will guide the woman and her child to a safe point to escape from the army's invasion and intentions.

And someone will see this. They will tell Daphne and Cù Sìth will suffer appropriate consequences (a thrashing and being sent back to Niflheim to await a military trial). However, Niflheim will have this brutal plan revealed as Cù Sìth isn't stupid enough to just bury himself. He will have given the young mother the name of his sister as well as the order given by Marshal Daphne to be reported. His people are Camelotians and though he has been loyal to adopted region of Niflheim up until now, he doesn't want senseless violence against his people.

Naturally, his intentions are to get this news in the open AKA the press. Pheme, bb, you've got a major story ahead of you. He'll be sending her a letting via that young mum explaining the order, who gave it, to get away from the borders and what he's done. It may not save him at all (in fact, it likely won't) but he still plans on shouting clear and loud about what's going on.

So if someone wants to be that person who saw him and told Daphne, go ahead and say something here! Otherwise, it will be a NPC. And if anyone else wants to be involved, also squeak! Let's plot out stuff here. These are some tentative dates (please say something if they don't work for you in some way!):

→ The allowed release of the mother will happen this Sunday (a mini will occur).
→ The exposing of what Cù Sìth did will happen Monday.
→ The young mum will reach Camelot's capital by Tuesday.

This will be listed on the main event post here as well.

♥♥

YO \o\ a few of us people with positions have sat down and made a sort of timeline covering the weeks of Zurvan. THIS IS JUST A POSSIBLE OUTLINE, nothing needs to go down that people disapprove of, and new stuff can be put on. lkasdjka basically, we wanted to give you guys something of an outline - but it's totally flexible to whatever people want/do not want.

So please comment below with yay/nay/ideas or whatever. :3c

-Struck out stuff has happened/logged about/posted/mini-logged.
-Events can be added, and links to specific plot posts too! It doesn't need to be a major plot either, anything plotty can be tossed up here so everyone knows what is going down big wise and smaller wise.
-Events can also be shifted depending on people's wants/needs/stuff.

( click the magical cut! )

Childrens, war has begunnnn -- almost. As several characters have declared, Iriy and Niflheim will be fighting on Babylonian soil as agreed, on an uninhabited route. Babylonian soldiers have been stationed along it to ensure nothing goes out of hand. Not sure if they have left or are still stationed in the warzone -- pls confirm Cara? D:

The facts are as follows:

→ Niflheimian troops left on the 20th and arrived in Babylon before Iriy
→ Iriyian troops left on the 21st
→ War has not actually begun yet! But both armies have set up in trenches, readied their med bays, set up their artillery and tanks and cannons and whatnot.
→ Camelot, you're going to be seeing some soldiers here and there. Soldiers in neutral territory? Oh my~
→ Galahad and Medb remain in their respective regions. High ranks, I'm gonna post up a thread so you can inform the rest of us who of you is going or staying! I'll be posting another thread for soldiers/army personnel who will be among the troops. Please feel free to list where they are stationed, be it front lines, reserves, etc.

So the issue is as follows: realistically, the war will not be able to be contained. Iriy has plans to draw Niflheim back and attack until they cut off their supply line. The war will spread and possibly cross over into Camelotian territory as each army tries to cut the other off.

If any of you guys have suggestions for the flow of the battles, please suggest something! The war will probably last for a good while, so anything should be kosher. ♥

Babies~ Jill and I have a couple of plots to run by you guys for the sake of dramarz, because emails get lost and people don't like spam so~ HERE, HAVE AT.

✗ We've decided that, Pasithea's baby? Is not actually Pollux's. Baby is in fact Hypnos'! They would have had a brief fling months ago, resulting in the bebbeh, but Hypnos is still unaware that it's his. Would one of his siblings like to have been confided in by Pasithea about it, and have that secret to keep away from Hypnos for the sake of her marriage?

✗ Then~ Hyacinth is coming to Camelot on the weekend. He will meet with Raven and Hebe. Things will be talked about. Eventually, possibly around Monday or so, they're going to decide to run away to Niflheim to stay with Hyacinth. SORRY MOM AND DAD. .. she's taking the cat, too. :| Basically, this is a warning that Demeter and Menelaus will have to react to NO BB GIRL sometime very soon. She'll leave a letter of apology of course.

✗ Whenever Echo decides it, Pan is going to take her to Babylon so she can see Anubis. Which is all well and good for her, but he's the one who took Syrinx SO. I give permission for Euterpe to recognize him and point him out to her family, if Apollo would like to get involved? idk what sort of things he'd really do to Pan, but seeing as he was seen with Syrinx, someone can have the chance to question him. SO APOLLO. DO YOU WANT A PAN?

The endddd. ♥

ATTENTION BABYLONIANS. As of the morning of the 17th, an article in the local newspapers detailed the finding of the body of a horribly disfigured woman, but there were no actual details about her injuries (which are extensive, let me tell you). She was found somewhere along the border of Babylon and Iriy. Her identity remains unknown.

Feel free to react to this! As a side note, Naamah will be spreading some rumors in the market, the bars, etc. saying that it's the body of Sigyn. It isn't actually, obviously, but who needs to know that? News will probably reach Ryugu-Jo in some days, though if any officials pick up on the rumors, pls go ahead and spill the beans.

That is all~

Self-explanatory--your characters can sign up under the appropriate threads to express their interest in joining the organizing committee (Camelot) or the regional delegation (everywhere else, if the respective region leaders are cool with taking on volunteers). Responses/confirmations/etc should be handled by the region leader or whoever the region leader has delegated to man the delegation/committee.

For your reference--
Babylon Horus has tasked Osiris with leading a delegation. Isis is free to accompany? He is chill with volunteers if Osiris is.
Camelot Gwynevere has tasked Tecciztecatl with overseeing and organizing the event. She is chill with volunteers if Tecc is.
Iriy I thiiink Galahad and Athena are leading their region's delegation while Hera mans the fort?
Niflheim I thiiiink Medb is coming to lead her own delegation?
Ryugu-jo Ryujin is leading his delegation!

Dignitaries of rank will be housed at Camelot's castle, and others at Barachiel's. Kindly leave your armies at the door, though security retinues will not be turned away.

Another post will be going up soon with delegation lists (once finalized) + accommodations information!

Ok, folks, I figure this is needed since we might be not QUITE sure where we are at with some stuff. So this post will serve for two possible plots:

→ CAMELOT SCANDAL
So Pheme discovered something fabulous to print and Samyaza was all 'LET'S DO IT' in hopes of getting this printed on the fifth of July. But, of course, it would be under a false name to definitely protect Pheme. The point of this post is to discuss what the article said (Jill, if you actually want to scribble up the article or just summarize it here, go for it!) and this will help with reactions on journals and stuff.

→ BABYLONIAN OPIUM FAMILY
Although it will initially have to do with the four siblings, it doesn't hurt to keep the plotting in public. Right now, Persephone and Rosier had been plotting against someone they dislike but this doesn't have to be THE plot they run with. Let's air some ideas and all?

I'm going to be sleeping in a bit because I am exhaaaausted but hopefully this will help with organization with some stuff. Please remember this post as well as any IC posts that push the plot, guys! ♥

July 2

Region rulers, please assume that you received invitations by this time! Basically the invitation talked about hosting a peace summit in neutral Camelotian territory, etc, and asked that region leaders consider attending or sending delegations.

July 2 - 9

Time for region leaders to be figure out whether they'll be attending or not, sending delegations or not, who will comprise their delegations, etc. I'll throw up an OOC sign-ups post shortly.

July 10 - 15

Peace talks proper. This will be accompanied OOCly by a discussion post where regions can put up their stands and players can tangent off into open forums, followed by a conclusions post where I can throw up the results of said discussion. (ergo, statements like "Iriy and Niflheim still want to go to war" or "Iriy and Niflheim have decided on peaceful arrangements"; "Ryugu-jo has chosen to get involved on Niflheim's side"; "Camelot does this and that"; "Babylon chose not to attend", etc)

Okay, please comment here for any questions and such! Things are subject to change if we need to delay, etc.

PLOT SUMMARY

In light of recent events and the looming threat of all-out warfare, Camelot hopes to maintain its position as the upholders of peace and order by inviting regional delegations to a set of peace talks. These will likely be hosted near the Camelotian border. Armistice will be guaranteed while in the area, though security will be high to protect all the dignitaries and delegates who will participate.

DELEGATED OVERSEERS; Gwynevere would like to assign Tecciztecatl, as he is the ambassador, as well as Igraine to assist, if she would be amenable.
INVOLVED PARTIES; Babylon, Camelot, Iriy, Niflheim, Ryugu-jo
ISSUES; (pressing issues in bold)

Would Iriy and Niflheim be amenable to talking things through?

Would Ryugu-jo and Babylon like to cooperate in maintaining the peace?

Would neutrals like to sign up for an organizing committee, etc?

Would neutrals like to aggravate the situation?

Would neutrals like to join regional delegations?

When will the peace talks be held?

How long will the peace talks last?

What is the foreseeable outcome?

I've set up threads per region to keep things nice and organized, please comment under the appropriate thread! Feel free to comment with whatever reactions your characters might have to the whole affair.

SUP GUYS! Here we are with some plotty stuff, as you all know Heimdall and Sigyn ran off, and Ryujin has Hades and other people on the matter- and I believe so does Camelot (please confirm yay/nay ♥ ) but! This all aside, we've come up with a list of date where false sightings of the couple will happen.

It'd be awesome if you guys had neutrals/whoever jump in and comment on it - or even be the ones who reported the happenings to the authorities or whatever. Go wild, seriously, plot away! :3

The dates and scenarios are as follows:

28 June- Border between Niflheim and Babylon, a kimono that appears to be from the royal family is being sold in a market there. [TAKEN BY OUR LOVE SHI WITH PERSE~]

4 July - An old coworker of Heimdall who has been instructed to watch for his return, raises a false alarm in Camelot. [TAKEN BY OUR LOVELY JILL WITH PHEME~]

7 July - Far end of Babylon near the border with Iriy, the body of an unknown Ryugunese woman is recovered (courtesy of Tez) and mistakenly IDed as Sigyn.

13 July- Inner Babylon- another eloped couple is mistakenly IDs as them.

SO, tomorrow, who wants to purchase a rare Ryugunese royal kimono? :D!

ALSO, Ryujin WILL be putting up an official announcement so neutrals are all in the know of what is going on as soon as details are worked out. For the sighting tomorrow it will NOT be linked to Sigyn/Heimdall directly- it is more of a 'oh gosh what is this rare kimono being sold here, weren't there some rumors with something weird in ryugu-jo?' vague stuff!

[edit] ALSO so I don't spam more, two things- Polyxena has been rebooted, though obviously that won't be a big deal until post-Zurvan. Her new info is in the app masterlist though!

AND for Zurvan, Pyri is Thanatos' cousin and currently courting Hel. ♥ JUST SO PEOPLE KNOW. I'll get to posting with him soon.

( CLICK IT! )

Since the mod post is screened and, of course, that makes a wee bit harder to mention this stuff, I figured this post might help.

If you like, just go ahead and comment here with where your characters might be hospitalized! Some people have already mentioned in comments and posts but this will keep it a little more tidy. ♥

Ok, so Cù Sìth mentioned to Sigyn and later Pan about an ABC party on this Sunday at 7:00 PM. And he's leaving it up to them to invite others - adult and all, please. But that's not the only way to go it. Maybe you know someone else going to it or were invited as well. Whatever works for you if you want to have a character go!

Remember that an ABC party is Anything But Clothes party. Google it for more information but I think that description suffices. This post is pretty much if someone wants anything lulzy to happen, weird choice of attire, etc (he's wearing a dog bowl bikini).

That is all. ♥

This is just to keep things tidy and so people don't jump from thread to thread wondering what they missed.

The moment the revolt will begin will be late night on the 19th or very early morning of the 20th. Presumably the common folk will just start with grabbing people and robbery and escalate from there. The point of the revolt getting really out of hand will probably be the morning or close to mid-day (depending on when it begins). Injuries, deaths, looting - everything you expect from angry common folk hating on the upper classes. Maybe even a guillotine might be set up. The less soft-bellied nobles are also likely to fight back, mind you. Feel free to note personal losses, material or life.

Tristan and Percival will try to manage things as uneasy leaders simply to avoid massive chaos. Pity that won't work out.

The revolt is not intended to be a long thing. As it was never really intended to be a revolt, the common folk will only be organized to some intend. By early night on the 20th, things will no longer be in control of the common folk. Around this point, Eve (and Horus?) will presumably begin help with escape. By early morning on the 21st will be dead. And consequences will occur for the common folk and those caught.

Anything can be tweaked, of course. This is just a general idea to keep it as neat as straight-forward for people involved. Please also mention if your character will be caught or will escape so I can note that here.

Let's do this. ♥

( Rebellious characters' fate )

NOTE: the rough dates are something between EST and GMT, by the way! Try to date the minis in a way to reflect whatever time of the rebellion your character is experiencing, too, so to keep people more or less on the same page. Thank you!

Don't give up on this post!

I say this because things are going down this week and next. As far as I know the Revolt in Ilium is happening the 18th/19th. People involved, let's try to plan how this over there, such as details of whether to do mini-logs, posts, etc.

With the Double Wedding in Mictlan, certain people have been contacted for something happening soon mid-week that will hopefully include others.

Svarga, Camlann and Glastheim are up in the air as far as I know still. Please try to e-mail or grab someone by comment if things need to be arranged.

This is your friendly Shi post trying to make sure you folks stay on top of stuff during this busy month. ♥

MAJOR PLOT POST

Ok, so since a date's been set for the end, I figured this would really help. Please comment under which thread applies to your character. I'll maintain here who is involved where in the main post but also please make that clear so I know whether they are really in or not. No 'maybe', please. It really helps move things along!

If a major plot was missed or a new one comes up, please comment here. Please continue to use the other plot post for smaller plots! Small plots on this post will just get confusing, guys. If any of those little plots expand to be more public involved then I'll add them here.

For the record, yes, anyone can get involved in a major plot. Just say something in the right thread! Dates will be more fixed when things are more decided. NOTHING IS IN STONE.

( The Plots )

DO NOT REPLY YET! Let me make the threads. I'll strike this out when all is done. GO FOR IT NOW.

Comments and questions here.

As stated here, Bastet intends to celebrate in Svarga while the wedding is going on, which is today. Consider this post to have NOTHING to do with the wedding, please. Tania and Joana can put up one for that later.

Expect just a very festival-like deal going on. Food, music, dancing, people doing tricks, mock fights and, as it gets darker, things of a more racy nature. On the downside, likely criminal activity, including theft and actual violence. Maybe limited and nothing major but that's up to you guys and where you want to fit in your characters. All this starts around four PM but really will be more active around five or six.

So if your character wants to mingle, get to know someone in Svarga better, whatever - maybe do it here! If you guys think an open thread on the log comm is a possibility, tell me. I'll punt up something. Use this post to plot, if you like. ♥
