Week 4 Summary / Week 5 Plotting!
Week 4:
The royal couple’s arrival causes quite a stir - and, unfortunately, doesn’t stop the Manticore Knights’ security crackdowns.
The King and Queen hold individual audiences in their Newport residence, as well as making the rounds to visit the local Empowered school, among other official stops. Of course, not everyone is necessarily happy that they’re here...
Steph tries to get to the bottom of Tim’s amnesia. The Angels are… less than impressed to have revived without Matthew’s company, and set about throwing a fit, burning down Dr. L’s house in the process. Tybalt sets about working out how to take down the Manticore, and make sure Newport’s cats will be cared for in his absence. He also proposes Traveler Theatre and gives up covering his fae identity among the investigators (cue Jules freaking out post-jaunt in three… two…). Faed finds a certain irony in being detained as an illegal alien. Naoki marks his sister’s birthday. Jaina finds herself wishing she could Jedi-mind-trick the Manticorps. Right gets caught without papers (great job, kid). Zoe keeps an ear on the local chatter, and an eye out to help with Claudia’s Artifact-hunt. Claudia helps Minako work out investigative points for the treehotel Liminal, and reports an interesting tidbit about her audience with the queen to the network. Kenzaki makes new living arrangements, and takes a side on the matter of the Manticore Knights. Helena, successfully retrieved from her dungeon, sets about catching up with current events. Liara has been arrested.
Armin, copying Joscelin’s portal creation, busts into Liminal Space; Mikasa is less than impressed. Dan discovers some truly alarming information about the royal family, and sets about spreading the word that the ‘royal couple’ are in fact spirits, not human; Phillip is one of his first recruits. Lily tries to help people out while avoiding official checkpoints. Zed finally pushes his luck too far, and is killed by Mako; upon revival, he immediately starts plotting the Manticore Knights’ downfall. Matthew moves back home to recuperate, and adjust to his sudden new electricity powers. Imriel tries to adjust to the modern world, including school - and his power-nullifying, er, powers give Jules quite a shock.
Gregory’s volcano spirit finally achieves literal meltdown. Revenant has a bit of a power trip after dealing with the Angels’ rampage. Blackhawk hosts a White Company gathering for the queen. Mako, finally driven to the heights of paranoia, scans his own brain, evicts the ‘possessing spirit’ he finds, and puts out an APB on Naoto (who is not taking her former overlay’s body count well). Stinger is less than pleased by the protests. Rise makes the most of being put on guard duty. The Wraith makes a business deal with Halitosis, who is looking to sell some equipment. John quits the Manticorps and goes full vigilante-villain. Avery is struggling with his missing memories, still.
Week 5:
Due to the open-ended and interactive nature of next mingle, we're putting the plotting post up 24 hours early, and the next mingle may cover a shorter timespan than usual.
First Day: The Manticore arrives in town. Anyone brave enough to ask an audience will get one, but there are stories that he eats frivolous or disrespectful supplicants. If you'd like an audience, let us know under the Audiences top-level below.
Second Day: With security at its tightest, the Ring is brought online publicly, in front of a large crowd and arranged stadium seating on temporary bleachers around the site. Several characters have plans to disrupt this process - please comment under the Disruptions toplevel, NOT the Plotting toplevel, with these plans. Anyone who might disrupt the disruptions, reply to their comments there!
Third Day & Later: What happens after that will largely depend on how the Second Day threads shake out - some big changes are in order for Newport, whether in accordance with the Manticore's plans or not. When we see what outcomes are plotted, we will let you know ASAP!

White Company Shenanigans
Which we might need a mod to okay for us. BUT. What if we had a number of White Company volunteers (most of which would be NPCs, because that's how it goes, though right now we a number of infiltrating volunteers, Chie and Zed and Rise at present) storm past the Knights running security to perform a citizen's arrest on the false King and Queen? Get in the Manticore's way without actually getting in reach of the Manticore?
(Can we do this? Will they be flattened?)
Proooobably Dan is gonna end up revealing himself, in one way or another. Because if this happens, he's gonna have to be there to confirm they're arresting false monarchs and not real monarchs. Shit this is ruining everything but this is pretty important, right. He will make this sacrifice. We're hoping to lasso Blackhawk into things as well.
