A Small Update + Operation Reignition 01

[rekindlemods]

Hey everybody! Time for a couple announcements.

We've updated a couple of the information pages, particularly the setting page, with some new information. Most particularly we finally have a map of the city!

Which, more importantly, leads us to our first event!

Operation Reignition 01

Simply put, our first event is going to be an exploration log of the new district, District 3.

"The premiere shopping district of the city, constantly abuzz with people going about business of some kind. Most of the buildings here have shops in at least the lowest floor of the building, with a few shopkeepers having apartments above their stores. Anything your characters might want to buy is here, from food to clothes to technology, even furniture if they want to pick up something a little different for their apartment. Scattered between the shops are restaurants, arcades, coffee shops - all the little places that help support people out for a long day of shopping.

Characters looking for jobs are most likely to find them here, as well; even if it's not particularly needed, most native shopkeepers are willing to hire on one or two visitors. There's also a few empty places, if you want to open up something of your own, although those are a bit more out-of-the-way than simply getting a job at someone's storefront.

Notable landmarks include a public outdoor marketplace, a large sprawling shopping mall, and the city's largest convention center."

But there's a bit more to it than that. Irene will announce the upcoming expedition to the new district around Friday or so. Basically, civilians of the city need the help of the Guests to fully charge the generators that power that section of the city. There are three main power generators in District 3 that will need charging:



In order to charge these generators, the NPCs will be leading three different groups of 5-6 to each generator. From there, the characters will receive the instructions they need to power up the generators and restore that section of the city.

But there's more! Even if your character is not able to be a part of one of the main groups, there are around 50 or so smaller generators interspersed throughout the streets of the district that will need charging from 2-3 people each. What's more, those who aren't involved in the main generator groups will be able to explore District 3 itself, and who knows what you may find out there…

However, there are some mild risks, for everyone involved. Most particularly, there will be an increased energy drain on those who enter District 3, though not as severe as the power drain on the fully inaccessible districts. In many cases, physical contact of some kind (even holding hands will do) will be necessary to counteract these effects. These effects will last until power is restored. This means that when taking volunteers for teams, the NPCs will try to discourage anyone who's experiencing withdrawal symptoms from participating, though someone with very low symptoms might be able to squeeze by. People who opt to work on the smaller generators will be less closely monitored, though officials will still try to stop anyone visibly ill from entering.

The event will start on Sunday, June 30th, and will primarily take place ICly that day, though backtagging is and will be encouraged.

Fill out the following form if you'd like your character to be in one of the groups that goes to take care of the main generators! Please only sign up one character per player. If we get more than 15-18 signups, we will randomly select the groups. Signups will close on June 29th at 11:59 pm PST.

Let us know if you have any questions! Also, feel free to use this post to plot with your fellow players!

QUESTIONS

[rekindlemods]

[gingerzippo]

Badou would like to earn some more money before opening up a small convenience shop of his own. Would it be alright to assume he's gotten a job in District 3, or is there some sort of process he/I should go through?

[rekindlenpcs]

That would be absolutely fine! We're generally leaving job related things up to the discretion of the players, unless they wanted to work with, say, the scientific team responsible for the technology to transport people between worlds. As far as little, part-time jobs and shops go? Go for it.

Because they said there could be plotting in this post! But would anyone like to have a blond-haired, green-eyed man latching on to them as they go exploring through the district? It could be fun...

And what the heck, if there's about 50 or so small generators running around, why not? He can do them a favor.

Either way, I'll probably post to the event log as a small 2-3 man group looking for a bit of fun on the side and a lot of tomfoolery. Er, well... you get the drift. And for the record, I'm CST.

[boutonnieres]

HELLO! I wouldn't mind plotting with you for a small group exploration. I'm sure Jack will do fine with Inigo--that's obviously if you would want to!

I'm PST, but we can make this work, I believe. (hope this isn't creepy or anything, shhh)

[fixated]

OTL

SO SORRY. I got back from vacation and suddenly work was crazy and I had to work third shifts (usually work the day shift) on all my days off for the next I don't even know anymore. I finally have this weekend off though if you'd like to go backdate something to that event but considering that was basically ten days ago, I perfectly understand letting it go.

My apologies again for not getting back to you in a more timely manner.

(and it is definitely not creepy at all)

[hamburgerhero]

Warning to those stuck with America in their group: he'll probably force his way into a leadership position. Also I'm sure depending on who your character is, they'll either find him inspiring or just annoying. While they're on this oh so serious mission though, you actually might get a glimpse of his serious side... Maybe. Depends on what happens.

Should be fun.

[hamburgerhero]

Sssspst! Any one want to volunteer to go exploring with him?
