JUNE PLOTTING POST/INTRO POST

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!

Hello! I was the Deadpool on the first TDM and really enjoyed playing with SecUnit. I'm back now with a different character and would love to try some cr again.

On that note... how would SecUnit feel about old radio dramas?

[serialmurderbot]

oh hey! I had fun with their thread and I'm sure Edward will be fun too, SecUnit will enjoy the lack of staring. Down to continue their TDM thread or start something new.

Also, bug buddy :>

It does not discriminate about the kind of media it collects! I think it actually has a few audio-only stories from its friends' home, actually, which are old fashioned to it but still involve space travel.

[propatriamori]

You know, I weirdly hadn't considered that but you raise an excellent point: Edward will be great for anyone feeling self-conscious about their transformations, because he won't be able to stare at them.

Yeah, bug pals! Possible hive mind link after building some cr?

We could continue the TDM thread and perhaps steer it in the direction of serials? Or they could do the radio drama thing later; Edward will be delighted that they still exist but also baffled by the space travel.

[serialmurderbot]

unfortunately for SecUnit it was self-conscious way before the transformations but that doesn't change that Edward will be chill! For hive mind stuff I'm still deciding how I might want to play with that but seeing how things develop CR-wise is a good start

Honestly it might offer depending on what its impression of Edward's mental state is, the Convoy has played music now and then and it's seen that help at least one other Drifter, so it's definitely on the table.

[propatriamori]

Edward will be so embarrassed when he realises he's been blasting his emotional state at everyone. He's trying so hard to keep that stiff upper lip.

Music would work well too! Honestly, just having SecUnit talk to him will help calm him down and stop radiating the bad vibes.

[serialmurderbot]

dw Edward it will pretend it knows nothing and never got blasted in the face with PTSD memories.

I think I tagged the thread back during DW's hiccups the other day, just in case you didn't get a notif on the TDM thread
