Return to Dorchacht / Snatched: OOC Tracker

[moustre]

Welcome to the OOC post for this month's event! Like with our previous stint in Dorchacht, and in splitting the two cities, we've decided to use the good ol' city tracker again, as it worked fantastically last time and we were able to track all recorded going-ons easily.

Just find the thread that correlates to what city your characters' actions are in and post using the form below. Each city thread has an example on it to show what we mean and how to do it, so keep it in mind when you're posting your own! While we're leaving this up entirely to player discretion - and we mean that, so please don't ask us - just remember: even small actions can have great consequences, good and bad.

And now, the form!

Character Name:
Choice: Witch or Monster
Action: What your character did
Overall Effect: Was it overall a positive outcome, or a negative one? You can rate this on a scale of 1 to 5 if you'd like, or leave it vague, like "Somewhat positive" or "Definitely a bad time" and so on. Please explain your reasons for this as clearly as possible.
Proof: The thread it occurred in; if you have plans for it to happen within a thread you're still currently threading out, then you can link that here instead! You may handwave certain things, but don't expect you'll be able to do that with things that will cause a larger impact (e.g. handwaving beating up some NPCs vs murder). Remember, even the smallest action can help or hurt someone.

The cut-off for posting to this entry is February 3rd, so please ensure you get it in before then! And as a reminder, we can't do anything if you don't report it, as we don't have the time to read through every thread to completion. If you'd like consequences for your characters, or for something that affects the whole game to be game canon, then you must inform us in some way, be it on here or privately. Thank you!

AEFENGLOM THREAD | DORCHACHT THREAD

Comments

[usurpers]

Character Name: eren, sokie
Choice: dragon, witch
Action: hung out at the sly sea dog and got some promising investigation answers regarding the kidnapped mirrorbounds and who done it!
Overall Effect: neutral to positive. eren was a general grump at first but got around when he found something; sokie did a fantastic job at hooking the main catch in! no violence necessary, actually just some friendly interactions with citizens, tbh. also, drinking games with faun npcs.
Proof: here

[freeing]

Character Name: daenerys targaryen
Choice: Monster
Action: burned the torture room, killed a rathmore cousin, and injured one additional aristocrat via strangulation to escape.
Overall Effect: negative action caused positive results?
Proof: https://middaeg.dreamwidth.org/89543.html?thread=19960007#cmt19960007

[tryhard]

Character Name: Waver Velvet
Choice: Monster (Turnskin)
Action: helped force the basement door open. also, scratched runic symbols and directions along the path to/from the basement dungeon to help others find their way through the traps
Overall Effect: Positive for escapees and rescuers? negative for Rathmores?? they might also be discovered if the Rathmores are looking closely. I'm open to consequences as needed!
Proof: here, ongoing

[usurpers]

Character Name: eren jaeger
Choice: dragon
Action: rescue team!
Overall Effect: positive! no casualties or even injuries on his part, as well as actively attempting to redirect those wanting to maim or kill if he comes across them. only interested in removing the mirrorbound.
Proof: one, with another on the way!

[lonewanderer]

Character Name: The Lone Wanderer (Lex)
Choice: Monster
Action: Escaped the Rathmores using non-lethal means (knockouts and take-down strikes, mostly) and then reported where she was held, what she heard, and insisted on sticking around for planning to share information.
Overall Effect: Positive: didn't actually kill anyone and shared information to save kidnap victims, plus told the others that the non-Rathmores are Stupid Idiots who, while bigoted, at least didn't torture them.
Proof: toplevel

[enkidoh]

Character Name: Enkidu
Choice: Witch
Action:They killed a Rathmore
Overall Effect: Positive because one Rathmore less, one more step closer to escape. But also negative because they'll be angry and be extra harsh to the remaining prisoners.
Proof: here

[digiorno]

Character Name: giorno giovanna
Choice: monster
Action: violence against kidnappers: several broken arms, one kidnapper kneecapped and knocked out
Overall Effect: overkill, so negative per the standards of the event.
Proof: here. all relevant actions occur in toplevel, threads are ongoing.

[long_live_the_queen]

Character Name: Kaede
Choice: Monster
Action: During the assault on the Rathmore estate, Kaede broke some limbs, dislocated some shoulders, clawed some Rathmores (and cauterized their wounds, how thoughtful of her), psychologically snapped one Rathmore over her knee as far as being afraid of the dark goes, and contributed to massive vandalism and property damage. BUT! She didn't kill anyone! She was a Good Person.
Overall Effect: It's a Bad Time to Be a Rathmore. Kaede only struck back when a Rathmore (or their accomplices) cast the first stone, she has a thin veneer of plausible deniability.
Proof: For the psychological trauma and breaking, entering, and breaking limbs and furniture, both threads ongoing.

[ressusciter]

Character Name: Edmond Dantes
Choice: Turnskin
Action: Ended up holding back a number of people who otherwise would have been causing severe injury/death to the Rathmores
Overall Effect: Positive, as it helped keep the Mirrorbound's shaky reputation intact and left more Rathmores alive for sentencing/Guard custody
Proof: log comment here as well as a link to ooc plotting.

don't ask him to play nice again

[weirdnecro]

Character Name: Caren
Choice: Monster
Action: Helped ensure that Mirrorbound Witches, or at least L, had his stars on so there would be less stink eye and suspicion.
Overall Effect: maybe around a one or two for positive? Subtle thing but hey, if it means less possible misunderstandings...
Proof: here

[weirdnecro]

Character Name: Caren
Choice: Monster
Action: Explained that there was in fact Monster-monster bonds and made sure Kaede didn't murder people
Overall Effect: I mean, it's always good when Kaede don't murder right
Proof: here

[weirdnecro]

Character Name: Caren
Choice: Monster
Action: Conducted lessons for monsters in baking and kitchen skills
Overall Effect: Very positive! It's a confidence booster.
Proof: I'd use the NPC thread with the Big three as an example since I couldn't figure out how to write it and include PCs. But if you want to not use this sample that's fine too!

[weirdnecro]

Character Name: Sokie and Fie
Choice: Witch and Monster
Action: Put some pressure on a local guy, using some physical force.
Overall Effect: They got information which was good, but they were mean about it so...that's bad. Neutral leaning towards baaad?
Proof: here

[weirdnecro]

Character Name: Sokie
Choice: Witch
Action: Healed those that were injured either during the rescue or the kidnappes.
Overall Effect: Positive because who doesn't want a good heal
Proof: There's the prompt in the top level, but the only nibble is currently here

[weirdnecro]

Character Name: Caren
Choice: Monster
Action: Agreed to testify during the trial
Overall Effect: Positive, since she's going to stick to the facts.
Proof: She mentions it here

[weirdnecro]

Character Name: Caren
Choice: Monster
Action: Listened for various information the Rathmores and co dropped during their rounds using her highly sensitive hearing
Overall Effect: High since this means during trials she'll be able to recite their mutterings word for word.
Proof: was a prompt, but can be found here with Soren

[tryhard]

Character Name: Waver Velvet
Choice: Monster
Action: Immediately after escaping, Waver told the authorities and investigators as much as he could about his escape route, the conditions they were held in, the captors he could describe and all names he might have overheard. He would have provided as much detail as he could about the mansion and the traps he saw. He also agrees to testify at the trial. (and Iskandar made a grand entrance with him so that was probably kind of dramatic??)
Overall Effect: positive for the investigation and the rescue team
Proof: here and here

[unyieldingmarch]

Character Name: Edelgard von Hresvelg
Choice: Vampire
Action: Edelgard bit a Rathmore.
Overall Effect: Overall net positive as Edelgard did not kill the Rathmore. She managed to pull back and turned them over to a guard, woozy but with nothing worse than a couple of puncture wounds. It was her first time losing control and attacking anyone as a Vampire, and she quickly pulled away. She and Hubert von Vestra took pains not to kill anyone over the course of this thread, but they sure as hell threatened to.
Proof: Here

[joies]

Character Name: Persephone
Choice: Monster - Dragon
Action: Working with some of the monsters to help them adjust to their newfound freedoms! Especially those who were more harshly treated.
Overall Effect: Positive! While she's only one person... dragon, and it'll be a long progress, it will help some monsters get used to being free and build up confidence among them.
Proof: Here!

[hearthebell]

Character Name: L Lawliet
Choice: Witch
Action: After returning from Dorchacht, L deliberately provoked someone in a bar back in Aefenglom to start a fight. Later on during the Snatched plot, he investigated with Myr and Thancred, their efforts focused on the Refugee District, starting with the scarves and ending up at Jude Trevils' home where an interrogation occurs.
Overall Effect: Overall, I think that L's efforts tend to be VERY good when it comes to investigation of any kind... whereas anything else will range from poor to mediocre. As L started the barfight at whatever bar is nearest the Coven's library, they probably know his face now and don't want to see him again. That aside knocked it out of the park with the investigation, and really felt fully in his element again. It went a long way toward making him feel like himself again since the SQUIP went back through its mirror. He also tried really hard to help with Divination efforts at the Coven.
Proof: Return to Dorchact open thread, ongoing investigation threads, Divination attempts

[hearthebell]

Character Name: L Lawliet
Choice: Witch
Action: L littered in Dorchacht by sending ravens off to scatter candy wrappers in order to throw off the trail of a stalker. He helped to scrub runes from the walls, participated in Bond lessons.
Overall Effect: Overall, I think that L's efforts tend to be VERY good when it comes to investigation of any kind... whereas anything else will range from poor to mediocre. He probably got in trouble for littering; he made things awkward at Bond lessons, and did OK at scrubbing the runes from the walls, but he probably wasn't as effective as a more physically powerful character, so his magic primarily softened the stone for others.
Proof: Return to Dorchact open thread, ongoing investigation threads

[metalcrusher]

Character Name: Mira Chambers and Mettaton
Choice: Witch and Monster (Puca), respectively
Action: Uhhhh well, beating up some NPC aristocrats, mostly. Mettaton led Mira to stab one of the aristocrats in the shoulder after she broke another one's collarbone! Here's MTT's completely sincere verbal testimony on what occurred, which isn't true to life.
Overall Effect: Based on the parameters of "injuring NPCs is Bad", this is bad, as neither of them healed the nobles. It may not be as bad as it could be, based on the verbal damage control casting it off as a mistake instead of deliberate.
Proof: Starting here, CW for gnarly injury, blood, stabbing, and the like.

[towards_okeanos]

Character Name: Iskandar (Rider)
Choice: Witch
Action: Helping Wilder candidates receive basic medical training no matter if they can use magic or not. Witches he tried to teach as many of the healing spells he himself acquired. Explaining basic survival in a non-city environment (don't eat anything with unnaturally bright colours and all that).
He went after missing Wilders with Cu Chulainn (Caster) and went exploring the forest around with Enkidu and new Wilders recruits.
He drew maps of all the areas he visited and wrote detailed accounts about everything they saw. Left a copy of each in Dorchacht's Coven with the caveat that Dorchacht's Wilders must have free access to them. He brought originals to Aefenglom.
He was also available to anyone who wanted to speak about Bonds (and hear him sing praises about his own Bonded)
Overall Effect: Positive. He really loves the Wilders in both cities, they are his kind of crazy.

Proof:
Quest 1 Searching missing Wilders with Caster (ongoing).
Quest 2 Exploration with Enkidu and Wilders recruits (ongoing).
Attempt at Bond lessons...

[towards_okeanos]

Character Name:Iskandar (Rider)
Choice: Witch
Action: Found (with no small amount of help from Flat) Waver and carried him to Investigators HQ so he could testify.
Found and helped Caster deliver his message (after his escape).
Provided medical aid to everyone and all that needed it during the rescue.
Overall Effect: mostly positive for investigation and rescue team
Proof:
Here Dramatic entrance to the mansion where City Guard, investigators and all are stationed carrying Waver.(ongoing)
Here Healing Caster a helping him get when he should after escape.(ongoing)

His part in rescue effort will be mentioned in Waver's thread later and in this thread of hospital visit. It hasn't happened yet because I am a slow turtle. So I'm not sure if that counts.

[wordsinthesoul]

Character Name: Thancred Waters
Choice: Monster
Action: Went back down into the cells to try and find proof to take to trial.
Overall Effect: Slight positive impression, as he's trying to help, but it could also be… doubling up on efforts.
Proof: I… took an age to write things so I don't know… if you want to count this in the end? It's the intention for prompt #3 but I don't… know how much of that will go anywhere.
