:: Opening Plot - Please Read ::
So, this is what may be a rather pathetic attempt to explain how the global plot event will work this weekend. This is also the place to ask questions, if you have them.

What will happen - OOC:
On May 8th, a series of thread starts will be posted. These threads will all be open and characters can move from one thread to the next.

Threads will go from that Saturday to the following Friday. In real time and game time, this event will proceed to Friday. We're all going to agree to suspend disbelief and alter time, however - characters can jump around and RP at different points in the time frame, etc.

What will happen - IG:
Each character is receiving a "black envelope." This envelope will tell the character to arrive at a certain place and here, they will meet up with the other characters. In actuality, this is being done as a way to bring this group of people together and to keep them away from Jokertown where the real shit is going down.

We suggest and encourage creativity in how your character receives their black envelope! Dancing monkeys are a definite possibility here.

That's all good, but... what's the final effect?
A series of events will happen during this timeframe. Your character(s) may be involved, or not, as you wish. However, we do ask that they follow the directions in the envelope and show at the original meeting so that we have an excuse for all having met.


This is the timeline for events as we currently have them. We will be posting more of these as things progress.

The timeline isn't meant to indicate you have to react to every one of these things. But it gives you an rp opportunity as well as journal opportunities.

May 7: Rumblings start that the president is going to sign a new series of Wild Card Acts into law.

May 8: Civil liberties groups start organizing for a challenge.

5 pm: Seattle PD begins preparing a covert action to expel the jokers from underground Seattle where Jokertown is alive and thriving.

5:30 pm: The Wild Card Act is signed into law.

6:30 pm: A phone call has SPD moving into the underground where they proceed to begin the expulsion efforts.

8:30 pm: Jokers are rousted out, many of them resisting as police drag them above ground. This continues into the night.




Another helpful hint when navigating is to clearly mark subject lines as your character moves with the character name. Unless a comment line says "[CLOSED]", it is assumed that all comments are open.

We are officially open. Fire at will!
