Broad Week 4 Plotting?

[ninjayeehaw]

So it seems like there's a lot of confusion about the timelines and orders of things in recent days, especially with all the Arcana revelations, so I think that maybe some slightly more concrete hashing out of timelines might be in order? Please feel absolutely free to correct me on this, but it seems like:

Day 1:

Spirit Animals can talk.

A few hours later, Starquakes start.

Raidou/Reiko Merges with the Cabochon.

Yukino uses her Oracle powers to read the Perspective of the Cabochon.

Days 2-3:

Hajime uses Entropy on the Cabochon.

Kinji announces his intentions for the concert, and goes with space!Matt to scope the area.

Matthew and Thorne visit the Arcana, and find Fool and Judgement.

Various individual plans are enacted to interact with or destroy the cabochon. These extend through the entire week.

Kanji, Minako and Lupa make progress on their Starquaker learning(? May extend into the next few days).

Days 4-6:

Thorne works out how to change up Liminal Space itself.

Casper/Ace Merges with the cabochon.

Matthew announces what he knows about the Arcana and their plans, and how the two runners, Fool and Judgement, don't actually have anything directly to do with the cabochon.

Allura starts her revolt. This removes Allura, Matthew, Shiro, Pidge, Sara, Thace/Thae, Tachibana, Kinji, Bayek, Jaina, Delaunay, Jules, Korra and Eren from Questing Country for the unknown duration.

All of them return before within this time period; except for Thace and Allura, who both die.

Day 7:

Kinji's concert on the cabochon. Please comment (either ICly through the link or OOCly here) if your character is joining in. The concert's success requires a minimum of four or five people.

Ace is probably using Merge on the cabochon at around day 4, if anyone needs that for reference.

Added, thank you!

So, I thought Matt and Kinji going to test the sound waves was the end of last week.

My thoughts were that Matt would make his thing, go down, and test it to make sure it worked. Or at least it could disrupt the waves, because for all he knows, it would do nothing at all, and he's a scientist.

Once he knew the Arcana were there, he would want absolutely no part of it. He's not about to stick his fingers in something that is that powerful.


... so yeah. I'm sorry. I thought this was just Matt poking a minor thing that he didn't know, and it got away from me.

[ninjayeehaw]

No, that's alright! This is why I'm asking, to clarify matters like this!

Kinji's initial network post about the cabochon and wanting to examine it was right at the start of week 4, just after he went and checked the thing out again; does that work as a rough time frame? That way Matt has plenty of time to still work on his thing and Nope out when Arcana become announced.

I apologise again, I think my overeagerness for this idea caused things to get a bit rushed and you got caught kind of negatively in that.

[tookashirototheknee]

Ok, I think that's where I got a bit confused, because the post itself says mid-late week 3. So I was fitting it in that time slot. Oops.

Yeah. I can say that Matt went, did his thing, and... either when he was messing around with Thorne and Tachibana, got a vision that it's Arcana, and he should Back Off, and/or he just got a Feeling when working with the waves that it's something he shouldn't touch.

His first instinct would be to mess it up so no one would actually harm whatever's in there, but I can easily distract him from that.

[thornsofmalkav]

I am totally good with Thorne's vision blessing giving him the info to back off.

[photonicfighter]

Dakki can join in to help with the cabochon concert! She has a voice that can reach the necessary pitch.

[ninjayeehaw]

What a good robosister

[truerevelation]

Kanji, Minako and Lupa have variously been investigating the issues regarding the Starquakes (as have probably more people who I don't know who's done what?) Plus the tidbits determined by what ROSE hasn't said. XD

They have found out the general 'purpose' of the Quakes, the reasoning behind them, a rough idea of their source and that there might be something vaguely Arcana-esque in nature if not power in the minds behind them all. Kanji intends to relay what he knows about the situation over the network (unless someone else relating to the plot has anything they might want to add?) before Lupa's more deliberate investigation of the precise source begins, which I believe should be late this week or early the next?

When would be a good time to relay this information?

[ninjayeehaw]

I know that Matthew's addition about Fool and Judgement is very deliberately going right before Allura's Eleven leaves for the waking world, so potentially before that could work?

That's my tentative suggestion, at least, but maybe ping Blue when she wakes up and compare notes?

[wholeheaded]

I need to find an IC excuse for the Oracle of Rhythm to get to the concert. Possibly his jam senses are tingling.

[itsananimalthing]

Stone/Scarstin might know about it from all his poking at people, and could tell him, as a music-person? (Wait, did he Oracle-ize already? I WANT TO SEEEEEEEE)

[wholeheaded]

I HAVEN'T DONE IT because I cannot brain...anything ugh and I'd like to not handwave--

Maybe he can Oracle-ize THERE. Somehow.

[mytearsaremine]

Scarstin is kind of aiming to point him at it in our thread, if that helps any? :P

[ninjayeehaw]

I need to make a Kinji top-level so I will definitely include a part for him seeking out musically inclined Dreamers!

[failgoyle]

Jules is going with the group to the rebellion against the Diabolin! It's what he got dragged back to being an investigator for.

And I figure Hajime's Entropy bomb is going to be sometime midday on Day 2, if no one else is trying to go at the cabochon then.

[ninjayeehaw]

Both added!

[goestoextremes]

Korra is also going to Allura's rebellion. So is Eren while I'm here to say this.

[ninjayeehaw]

Excellent.

[thornsofmalkav]

I'm guessing that Day 3 or 4 would be a good day for Thorne to use Liminal Thematics to give you guys the beach?

[ninjayeehaw]

Good job babe.

[capital_risk]

Reiko is doing her Merge with the cabochon before Hajime hits it with Entropy, so probably sometime during Day 1. She will be wanting to pass the details of her conversation with Magician on to the Travelers, but outside of Thorne, Phillip, and maybe Kinji I'm not sure who she'd tell or when she'd get a chance.

Day 1 is also when Yukino read the perspectives of a couple of Harbingers and found they were looking for a familiar pattern and focusing on the land rather than the people (and may not know that people are even a thing). She also would have reread the cabochon's perspective and found that it was now aware of being observed; I'm not sure of the timing of that, but it's probably also Day 1, or at least before Hajime's Entropy bomb goes off.

I'm not sure of the precise timing of Minako and Kanji's investigation of the Starquake.

[ninjayeehaw]

That's all excellent.

I've tentatively added Kanji and Minako's work to day 3/4, before the revolution.
