JUNE PLOTTING POST/INTRO POST

[monstertruckers]

Hello everyone, and welcome to Route 666 and our newest OOC Intro and Mingle post! We're going to experiment also have this double as our June Plotting Post!

As for the plot of June... Welcome to the Riverlands! As the name implies, this stretch of Revan is covered with rivers and lakes. The Convoy will be doing plenty of bridge crossings, and even the odd river fording.

This said, the main river here carries a supernatural quirk: they can reflect regrets and secrets when a Drifter crosses them. Submerging waist deep or further into the river can also activate trait changes, or completely change a Drifter into something more aquatic. Unsurprisingly, Merfolk be our featured monster for this month!

The Convoy is carrying some dents from last month, and eventually the damage catches up to it; for most of the month, the Convoy Shield will be broken. Drifters will be exposed to the full call of the moon, monster attacks on the Convoy and the vehicles at night, etc. This said there is a fix for this problem: the nearby ruins in a lake holds a generator that can be used to power the shield.

The generator is in pieces, inside an abandoned (and half drowned) power plant in the middle of a lake. The main river feeds into this lake, keeping the prior effects active. The power plant itself has all sorts of strange, hazardous rooms storing the generator pieces to navigate.

Since the power plant is half drowned, there’s plenty of flooded hallways for Merfolk to navigate through, to help find the pieces. Once taken back to the Convoy, it’s possible to lend a hand with assembling the pieces and installing them, and finally get a working shield back by the end of the month!

And that is our route planned for the month! We hope you enjoy this event, and feel free to plan in the comments below!

RP STUFF!
Character Name: Deacon
Canon: Fallout 4
Character Info: INFO PAGE
Commonwealth Man of Mystery, Deacon (If that even is your real name. It isn't.), is an agent of the Railroad, a faction with the goal of liberating synths and making the Commonwealth a better place. He has it all:
•Dark and Tragic Past
•Bethesda Dead Wife Special
•Self-Loathing
•Gender
•A Silly Disposition
•A Complicated Relationship with the Truth
•Sunglasses
He is a compulsive liar with an addiction to frequently changing disguises and a membership loyalty card for whatever surgery they did in Face/Off.
Monster Plans: He is one of the fae folk! The plan here is to get him any power that lets him change shape and sneak about. So the uszh. Power choices include:
•Must be invited into a dwelling/vehicle. (I just thought this would be funny.)
•Oath compulsion: must keep word or promises after giving them. (Again.)
•Mischievous demeanor: compelled to play tricks on others. (Get ready to be annoyed.)
•Invisibility magic. Can turn self, an object, or a willing target invisible for an hour. Can increase duration by expending energy, but become exhausted afterwards. (Stealth Boy, his beloved)
•Subtly inhuman features: eyes of a strange color or shape, hands with only four fingers, etc. (WHAT'S BEHIND THE SUNGLASSES, DEACON???)
•Shifting form, difficult to remain stable if emotional or distressed, may become even impossible to look at clearly. (DO NOT PERCEIVE HIM)
Event Plans: This is the worst event for him to start the game in because of the mortifying ordeal of being known™
That said, we'll do what we must to balance fun with character plot or whatever. This man is built on regrets and secrets... but life finds a way.
Extra: PERMISSIONS LINK
•He is going to introduce himself as a different person to everyone he meets, probably.
•It is going to be both fun and frustrating to me because I will have to remember it all.
•I am begging you to humor me here. The man is canonically very good at what he does, so when the time is right for someone to catch-on to his bullshit, I promise you that you will get the payoff you crave, so just let him lie for a bit. It would be ideal for you to discuss this trajectory with me oocly, I promise that I am a reasonable guy.
•I have given the professional spy the most conspicuous vehicle of all time, which he initially thinks is cool but will very quickly resent.

hi this is a delightful smorgasbord for me, and I am very excited to just have Danse scowl luminescently at Mr. Manipulation and Subterfuge while remaining characteristically oblivious to his actual secrets and regrets. And getting increasingly attached to him and mad about it.

And then they have to fight mirelurks together. Or whatever the local creatures are. idk we'll find stuff and it'll be awesome

[facethefacts]

Danse please carry Deeks on your shoulders like banjo kazooie.

[androidvictoriam]

if he smells like wet dog though, does Deeks really want him to?

[facethefacts]

Well I assume he climbs up there while he's still dry.

[androidvictoriam]

tbh the shoulders are Worth It no matter what he smells like, I mean

[taediosum]

hi5 for having a complicated relationship with the truth

i hope they can be friends who definitely know basically nothing about each other

[facethefacts]

[taediosum]

they're obviously doing the best at this

[facethefacts]

when are they getting matching bff necklaces

[taediosum]

do they make matching bff necklaces that make you harder to perceive

[iron_stomach]

I am perfectly content to have Heat not realize this same guy in 500 outfits is actually in fact the same guy. It'll be a long time before his sense of smell is good enough to tell that's the same fae all the time.

deacon turning invisible will freak him out though. that's varin's trick!!

[facethefacts]

hahaha that's excessive probably but I will do anything for the bit.

couldn't be me that guy had a hat on, etc.

[iron_stomach]

"..I wonder how long I can keep this rube going for. And how obvious I can make it."

[facethefacts]

shows up and its just this icon

[x2bet]

Heyy there Duke, nice to meet you and welcome to the game! I'm Gen 👋☺️

Unfortunately I never got quite far enough into Fallout 4 to run into the guy due to console issues, but I know some through osmosis and he seems great?? As a fellow bullshit spewer with some pizazz himself (albeit of a different flavor), I have no idea how the Ben-Man and Deacon might get along, but I'm definitely willing to find out!

[facethefacts]

Hiya Gen!! I am in a similar position with FONV so that's totally okay... but I am EXTREMELY PUMPED to throw them at each other regardless. Definitely feel free to message me if you want to work out some opportunities for them to meet. I'm still debating on whether I'll post something open or wait for the event log.

[serialmurderbot]

I admit to having no clue how any interaction between these two would go but I have a liberated synth aka rogue SecUnit I can stick in his path.

It technically has some tricks that make it better at keeping track of people's identities than your average person but I think between fae traits and the power nerf SecUnit got coming here Deacon could definitely get one over on it a number of times

[facethefacts]

I do think he will keep to one identity per person, but I am game to get silly with it.

That said its more likely he'll give 14 different backstories, a new one every time the last one is called bullshit on, until eventually people just give up and stop asking.

Definitely don't know how well they'd get along since I am canonblind but still very pumped about crosscanon CR!!!

[serialmurderbot]

Oh if it's just one per person he can absolutely get away with that with SecUnit, it's actually much more likely to investigate him the more suspicious it finds the answers, but it doesn't do much asking personal questions at first if it can help it

If Deacon isn't likely to investigate someone who's got obviously mechanical hands/arms and calls itself SecUnit, we can figure out options once the event toplevels go up

[facethefacts]

I mean he will probably 'investigate' everyone, which is to say just kind of profile and gather intel on as many people as he can. Not for any nefarious reasons, he's just paranoid and needs to know more about everyone than they do him. But as a guy who has the whole 'save synths' thing as his life's mission, he'll already get points and sympathy from Deacon.

[wasteland_101]

Hello! I would love to have more CR with Deacon. Angel finds him amusing and needs to know that he knows Danse.

[facethefacts]

He will likely not offer that information, let alone introduce himself as Deacon, but I am still down for more CR.

[wasteland_101]

She'll roll with it and not even know. It's all good. ^_^

ROAD TRIP IN THE WEENIEMOBILE.
