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

AEFENGLOM

[moustre]

DORCHACHT

[moustre]

EXAMPLE

[moustre]

Character Name: Victoria Hallman
Choice: Witch
Action: Acted on encouragement of her high-class fellows to vandalize the homes of refugees
Overall Effect: Overly negative, as it continued to worsen the relations and morale of the refugees' and their confidence in Aefenglom; doubles as a positive for the more stubborn folk though, who bunker down instead.
Proof: There we are!

EXAMPLE

[moustre]

Character Name: Luis Levan
Choice: Monster
Action: Back at it again, Luis has been volunteering as a guard patrolling the streets. He found a nest of Drummond sympathizers and swooped into action, taking them into custody and harming those that resisted. One may have been killed.
Overall Effect: Positive? It's another group in the bag, so there's less dissent in the streets and better morale for the new administration, and the Resistance considered his actions necessary too.
Proof: Here, though we're chugging along to the action.

[freeing]

Character Name: daenerys targaryen
Choice: monster
Action: burned the graffiti (picket signs planted in front of the dwellings of refugees) by use of drogon
Overall Effect: positive to any refugees, mirrorbound or sympathizer. however, anyone indifferent or against such group may view it as negative or overly aggressive.
Proof: over here in her top-level – i don't have any nibbles on threading it out, but it was an action in the top level itself so anything that comes from it can be flexible!

[usurpers]

Character Name: eren jaeger + asura
Choice: monster (dragon) + witch respectively!
Action: helped train wilder recruits in self defense magic for both monsters (using their perks) and witches (defensive magic), close quarters combat and essentially, occasionally, being drill sergeant bullies. comes with complete demonstrations for each.
Overall Effect: positive! the recruits would be able to have more exercises to go off on and strengthen themselves on their own when their helpers leave. recruits will also be a little sturdier for any future ideas of going into the wilde unprepared. negative if some recruits ended up crying, but such is the life of a fighter!
Proof: here! also parent for asura’s top level, which has more info in the training prompt!

[usurpers]

Character Name: eren jaeger
Choice: monster (dragon)
Action: tracked down the kid of the npc eren killed before the rising (for the orphanage info), finds him in one of the orphanages and ends up playing with him while the grown ups talk serious stuff. might be covered in children in the near future because kids have depression detectors and consider themselves a rightful cure, who knows.
Overall Effect: i pm winged the segregation abolishment in this one orphanage and the kids being wary of themselves if they’re different from each other, but fooling around is pretty universal—! i’d say positive, especially if their establishment is welcoming to mirrorbound and an imposing monster sadly playing with rugrats :(
Proof: here!

[usurpers]

Character Name: eren jaeger
Choice: monster (dragon)
Action: introduced the flare signal system to dorchacht wilders. consists of parties strategically split apart into formations, and setting off different colored flares to convey messages and move as a unified order of separated groups. useful for searches, or any types of expeditions, and it’s highly encouraged to improve the tactic over time with magic properties of their own! here’s a clip that also explains how it works for more visual, and here’s a quick run down of color meaning so other pcs are free to play around with them too:

—GREEN: change direction of the formation. fired by the commander in one direction to indicate a change in the direction, and then repeated by the others once sighted to relay the message
—RED: threat spotted/engaged
—PURPLE: emergency/back up needed
—BLUE: retreat
—YELLOW: success/found someone.

honestly, any extra colors are welcomed to be added!!

Overall Effect: positive for the wilders.
Proof: mentioned in this thread.

[usurpers]

Character Name: eren jaeger + paloma + persephone
Choice: monster (dragon) + monster (vampire) + monster (dragon)
Action: search and rescue quest! killed some berserkers, found some dead recruits, but took them back home with success! also finding injured survivors!
Overall Effect: positive, i think!
Proof: w/paloma and w/persephone

[usurpers]

Character Name: eren jaeger
Choice: monster (dragon)
Action: eren licked a blood rose (the man-eating roses), and while very unhappy with his pesky lizardisms, would like to report to the dorchacht wilders: the rose’s nectar is a highly potent hallucinogen. nearly impossible to ignore, and ten times stronger than its aroma.
Overall Effect: for knowledge, positive. for eren, ❌
Proof: here.

[long_live_the_queen]

Character Name: Kaede
Choice: Chimera
Action: Found that a face-enclosing mask successfully resists the blood roses' luring effects, or maybe obnoxiously scented clothes do? The masks are probably a safer bet, more multipurpose to deal with a variety of things. Until your nose itches, anyway.
Overall Effect: Positive, at least as far as finding a nonmagical way of resisting the blood roses' influence goes. She might have started a plague doctor aesthetic trend with some of the Dorch Wilders, though. Oops?
Proof: Here

[morbide]

Character Name: Henry, Thancred
Choice: Witch
Action: Provided some Wilders with guidance and protection on their first trip out: no matter how morbid he is, he looked after his group with dedication and kept them safe. Also demonstrated to any Witches in the group the practical uses for defensive arts, since that's what Henry's going to be relying upon here.
Overall Effect: Positive. Sets a good example, leaves a good impression, demonstrates the dangers of the Wilde and the way to handle it.
Proof: Top-level B, but no takers yet. If any come up, I'll be editing them in now with the addition of a taker!

[morbide]

Character Name: Henry
Choice: Witch
Action: Took samples of the Death Roses back to Dorchacht's new Coven.
Overall Effect: Positive. Knowledge is power!
Proof: Handwaves in quests, though definitely occurring after his foray into the unexplored Wilde. I'll be threading it out if I get any bites.

[morbide]

Character Name: Henry
Choice: Witch
Action: Took samples of the Death Roses back to Aefenglom's Coven... whether they like it or not.
Overall Effect: Positive. Knowledge is power, and he didn't do it without a proper magical barrier.
Proof: Handwaves in quests, though definitely occurring after his foray into the unexplored Wilde. I'll be threading it out if I get any bites.

[manlet]

Character Name: Andersen
Choice: Witch
Action: Rubbed elbows with Dorchacht's storytellers and bards, was enthusiastic about them coming over to the sister city for collaborations
Overall Effect: Positive! He partied with some new drinking buddies and there was absolutely a terrible improv poetry contest.
Proof: Here in my top-level prompt. I likely won't thread it out and since it's a relatively small thing.

[ressusciter]

Character Name: Edmond Dantes
Choice: Monster - turnskin
Action: Utilized his current investments in Aefenglom and extended the same arrangement to a few sources in Dorchacht, while encouraging his existing ties to do what cross city trade they can.
Overall Effect: Positive, as it's extending trade relations and money from one city to the other, and may inspire more arrangements from others which would do things to help in patches economically.
Proof: Requesting clearance from the mods, mentioned in this thread. Will be updated should more proof arise.

[usurpers]

Character Name: eren jaeger
Choice: monster (dragon)
Action: talking to the resistance members about how fickle “other ways” are.
Overall Effect: might be positive as it can also be a little negative (will depend on individuals)
Proof: handwaved in questions.

[cryptsleeper]

Character Name: Alucard
Choice: Witch
Action: Contributed architectural plans to Dorchacht
Overall Effect: Positive, as it's meeting an immediate need for improved infrastructure and housing overall.
Proof: here

[selfishwish]

Character Name: Momiji Sohma
Choice: Monster (Puca)

Action: Trailed local anti-Mirrorbound vandals and reported them to society's highest authority (i.e. moms).
Overall Effect: Like a +2 minor positive for justice through groundings and relatively non-confrontational resolution of community disputes!
Proof: Here.

Action: Counter-graffiti'd a few houses in the Aristocratic District, where resort to the court of moms was unavailing.
Overall Effect: Like a -2 minor negative for exacerbating tensions between the Mirrorbound and the upper-crust, who are probably even less fond of property damage than folks in the Haven.
Proof: Here.

[kuroi_taiyo]

Character Name: Judar & Asura
Choice: Monster (Faun) & Witch
Action: Introduced the city of Dorchacht to rock
Overall Effect: Positive! If they wanted more than just lullabies to perform, even out in the open, it's teaching them that. It's more entertaining and uplifting music.
Proof: While in general it's the first post, and there's others responding to the music happening, this link has Judar and Asura teaming up to bring even more music to the city. The thread's in progress right now, but a duet's even better than someone solo-performing through the city.

[lonewanderer]

Character Name: Dogmeat
Choice: dog
Action: was REALLY SAD ABOUT HIS MIRRORBOUND BEING TAKEN
Overall Effect: Overall positive because people tend to have more empathy for upset animals, potentially negative because some people hate dogs/probably wanted him to shut up.
Proof: here

[whomthebelltolls]

Character Name: Lady Maria
Choice: Witch
Action: Trained Wilders for Dorchacht, rescued a few of her wayward students, killed a screaming horse monster for them. Also, took some cuttings from the roses back to Aefenglom to raise herself.
Overall Effect: Overall positive. She's halping, even if it was probably more so positive than she actually intended.
Proof: Toplevel

[spaghettimonster]

Character Name: Papyrus
Choice: Monster
Action: Initiated the idea of visiting hours for the captive Drummond supporters
Overall Effect: Somewhat positive! Letting people see and communicate with the captives reassures friends and family that those within haven't been harmed too much, and offers the possibility of support for rehabilitation. There's also the risk of visitors using the slightly reduced security to stage a breakout, or people hurt by Drummond's reign to go in and verbally take it out on the captives... Plus, Papyrus was only able to participate a few times, between obligations back in Aefenglom and getting kidnapped.
Proof: Handwaved in investigation, and top level prompt giving himself a pep talk before heading inside. No threads yet, but I figure in the first two weeks he would have gone twice - assuming no one else got excited by the idea and pushed for more.

[selfishwish]

Character Name: Momiji Sohma
Choice: Monster (Puca)
Action: Helped out with the initial post-kidnapping investigation by breaking into a bunch of potential suspects' houses and poking around without permission.
Overall Effect: Probably a -1-ish "not great" effect, to the extent that it didn't turn up much extra of value and traipsed cheerfully past that whole "legal process" thing while the Mirrorbound were supposed to be collaborating with the City Guard. But not exactly likely to stir up much attention, what with the mass kidnapping/torture/violent breakout dealie.
Proof: Threading out the initial break-in here, handwaving that 'Miji went on to do most of the other houses on the Eastern Residential team's "person of interest" list likewise, since only the one would've turned up anything useful.

[usurpers]

Character Name: persephone, eren jaeger, dantes
Choice: dragon, dragon, turnskin
Action: tried to interrogate black market vendors, nearly goes off track before we are saved by a holy tiger
Overall Effect: negative (???) in the case that physical violence was nearly used, threats are a plenty and intimidation is a good friend. eren’s and especially dantes’ derailing might’ve lightened the load, and extra information received near and around the market will be taken to the coven, a positive turn to cooperation.
Proof: here
