Plotting for melodiesoflife Revelations Event

[forcegalactic]

Mars

Once stepping through the portal, dusty red plains and an alien sky greet the Heroes. Sparks Nevada and the Barkeep return to the latter's canon point just outside Town, and judging from their excitement, this can only be one place: Mars. Various characters will be there to talk with the Heroes and ask what the heck is going on.

The Space Saloon will be run by Barkeep's employees as the owner himself will rush home to meet up with his wife, The Troubleshooter. [Insert something where Sparks Nevada will be? Red will be there. Gork and his baby can do something, too.], and character will be able to visit those locations.

However, unsurprisingly, all is not well on Mars! Robots/Murdermen/an interplanetary mob are robbing the local bank, and they plan to return to their secret base, where a portal has opened up. They won't be able to make a quick getaway because they need to spend 10 minutes arguing what its deal is, what do to with it, and whose turn it is to carry the bags.

...Though if they're Murdermen the plot will have to change.

Oh lord, Murdermen could be fun but also could be SUCH a headache. I'm scared of that choice. It can be some outlaws, or... idk Kevin the spider is having a fit again, or something. Other than that, I'm sure Sparks will be very happy to be back and will be quietly plotting ways to stay behind, even when he knows that's a stupid idea.

[forcegalactic]

I like the idea of Kevin the spider and some spidery friends! Having them retreat to a secret cave makes more sense that way.

[red_planet_blues]

There can also be a manikin there we if want. Sparks fought one of Red way back in that first event with them.

Draft 2.0:


Once stepping through the portal, dusty red plains and an alien sky greet the Heroes. Sparks Nevada and the Barkeep return to the latter's canon point just outside Town, and judging from their excitement, this can only be one place: Mars. Various characters will be there to talk with the Heroes and ask what the heck is going on.

The Space Saloon will be run by Barkeep's employees as the owner himself will rush home to meet up with his wife, the Troubleshooter. Sparks Nevada will be confused as this is the future for him, but the Marshal Station will be there for him, right? The Heroes will be able to visit those locations (and generally go "around town") and chat with the characters.

However, unsurprisingly, all is not well on Mars! Kevin the Spider is throwing a fit again, having never gotten ride of his grudge against Sparks Nevada. Hes going to cause havoc in Town with his spider friends before retreating to his spider cave, where a portal has opened up.

They're going to block passage to the portal, as it is on their property and legally theirs, but the logistics can be fought out between the two parties. Arguments are a treasured pastime in this universe, but spending too much time talking can delay their quest...

The Heroes will also have to be quick, as a Manikin has followed them to Mars and will be after the Heroes.

[red_planet_blues]

Yeah! It can be a Croach manikin for maximum awfulness, if we want. Sparks already had to kill him off back in Kalki's lab where he was a hideous experiment gone wrong.

[forcegalactic]

\o/ hooray for awfulness!

I can post this on the OOC comm with the added if you want to write up the IC one (or I can do both if you prefer)

[red_planet_blues]

I can do it, since you were kind enough to do all of this. How do we want to kick it off? Just an open thing like "here's Mars, here's what you see" and let people roam a bit before dropping Kevin on them?

[forcegalactic]

Sure! We can create two subthreads: one with mingling and another titled "Kevin the Spider" that will have a "TBA" description until it begins. Another way would be to let everyone create their own subthread before adding one with Kevin's appearance.

[charming_jerk]

Good idea. Alright, I'll jump on that!

[red_planet_blues]

OH HEY. What are we doing about NPCs? Who are we using/who do we want to play?

[forcegalactic]

If we have any guests, they can play whoever they have. I can run anyone at the Saloon (and Felton, too? if he shows up) and the Troubleshooter, and I can help out with random spiders and townspeople.

[red_planet_blues]

I only know our one Red player, but she's not around too often. I'll ask her again tho.

I was considering having Felton show up if someone goes into the marshal station for Sparks, just for fun.

[forcegalactic]

Yes please, Felton screaming for help at the station and finding the marshal replaced by someone else.
