Plotting Post: To the North!

[warriorscribe]

As discussed with Laena over plurk, Enoch will be getting a hint in a moment of much-needed happiness grief at Mephisto vanishing. It's a vague one, just an invitation to "seek the forgotten ones", but it and the little flash of light to the north will be enough for him - he's explored on less information and less preparation before, after all, and he's bound and determined to get some answers now more than ever.

He probably won't find anything at this stage, as Laena has said there's not going to be any special attention paid to it NPC-wise, so that means it's a free-for-all! Enoch's just going to be telling the network he heard and saw something and set off to the north, and anyone's welcome to follow him if they want. (while he'll say that, obviously not everyone will meet up with him if they do go so it's not limited to interacting with him by any means.) He will also be trailing a rain of sand behind him that mimics an "hourglass" effect, in that the rain will stop periodically and then switch direction, so if you wanted something to inconvenience your character's travels, that's totally available for anyone to play with.

Because it'll basically be a mingle post for roaming around the island, feel free to plot here! There won't be any specific structure, if that helps, except there will be a Also feel free to ask any questions (though I may not be able to answer them)

The post will go up sometime February 25 or 26. I hope we can have fun with this!

TO THE NORTH

[trulyfree]

General question. Would it be possible to "go along" but not necessarily travel physically with him? So like...kind of a spread out wandering and then occasionally checking up via network, i.e. like walky-talkies or something. Basically a search party that keeps in contact rather than a gathered party. As opposed to going but not interacting with him at all, if that makes sense.

Also, how long is Enoch planning this to be? As long as it takes to find anyone? Or?

Sorry for the confusion! It isn't actually planned or organized. He's literally just going to notice the light to the north and hear the voice and then gather what he has and set off by himself, while telling the network that there's something to the north and he's going to check it out.

People can catch up with him, never see him, or anything - it's going to be a mingle log for exploration more than anything else; I would be surprised if everyone who would ICly react would travel with him at once! (I will be providing a top level that is essentially just for responding to his telepathic message so that those can all be in one convenient place though)

Since it isn't organized, people can stay as long as or give up whenever they please. Enoch, personally, is going to head out and stay out until a monster manages to get the better of him or his roommate gets worried and calls for him. Or he finds someone but managing that on one hint seems like a longshot.

So basically you'll be able to do whatever you want!

Right, I know. I guess I wasn't very clear...

I'd meant if someone wanted to catch up (not physically! just intel) with Enoch specifically and maybe occasionally check in with him to see if he's learned anything new every now and again as opposed to just searching alone without telling anyone (sans Hawke) as Fenris might likely otherwise do.

So rather than physically interacting in the log, he might ping Enoch over the network every other day instead, but since it'd be nonsensical for me to make a bunch of contact posts for Enoch specifically on the actual network comm for what would otherwise be a singular log, I was wondering if you'd be interested in something like that and if there might be a way to work that into the log somehow. Does that make sense?

For added clarity, this is a "I want to plot with you for CR with Enoch" question rather than a "how is this working oocly" question. If saying that helps any. ;v;

Oh, sorry! Yeah, of course we can do something like that! I can make a thread for that in the log if you'd like. :)
