EVENT INFO: BOTTOM OF THE RIVER

the basics

Rain falls. It falls, and falls, and falls some more, covering Beacon in dark, rushing water. Cut off from your friends, what will you protect - and how will you do it?

the details

As covered in the April monthly roundup, the flooding is intense and catastrophic and will last the entire remainder of the month. The event will be slightly backdated so as to give characters from April 15th-17th to prepare for a rainstorm they were alerted to thanks to the weather station - however, there is no clear indication of how long the rain will last or how intense it will be.

On April 19-30, the rains pour down, dividing Beacon into three sections with the rivers as hard boundaries. Whichever side of the river you're on when the rain starts, that's where you stay for the remainder of the event - even if you can fly or teleport. Strange! All existing bridges will be washed downriver, along with pretty much anything not completely bolted down - and even then, the powerful floodwaters might rip the bolts out, too.

Two signup headers are available below: DEFENSE and INJURY. Under DEFENSE, please suggest a building or location your character is going to try and prepare for the flood, and please feel free to elaborate on what they will be doing! If your character is going to help defend a location already suggested by another player, feel free to add a +1 under their header with whatever additional details you would like to add. Remember the more characters at a location, the more likely is it to survive with minimal damage. Some locations will not survive the torrent. Please submit DEFENSE comments by 11:59 PDT (GMT -7) April 24 if possible as these will inform what happens in May game events.

Under INJURY, sign up to volunteer your character for a good ol' Beacon bone-bashing. Severity of injuries will be RNGed and some characters may escape entirely unscathed. If there are any hard limits or squicks feel free to let us know and we will avoid those sorts of injuries for your character entirely. Death is currently NOT a risk. You'll see why later. Feel free to submit INJURY comments through the end of the event. We will try to get to these as soon as we can so you can use them in threads if you like - completely optional!

Additionally, players are welcome to use this post for OOC event plotting! In fact, please do, as not everyone in the game has access to each other's plurks! If you'd like, you can use the small form below to kickstart your plotting plans:

<b>player:</b> (feel free to put your contact info here if you like!) <b>character(s):</b> <b>plans:</b> (have any plans already? or do you have plans you'd like to make? let the world know!) <b>notes:</b> (anything else worth mentioning, like permissions/opt-outs/hiatuses/etc.?)

the tl;dr

• April 15: Weatherproofing begins. Patch the roof, and maybe move some torches!


• April 18-30: The flood commences. What will survive the deluge?

LANDMARK HOTEL

[vampirella]

her cushy penthouse MUST SURVIVE

probably she'll try and get others to do the work but she is quite strong and can probably be convinced to Do Stuff if the right people are around to remind her she should idk, try

[bunny_suit]

Listen. D.Va would be willing to help if she's willing to help save her apartment as well. She's definitely okay with helping with the Landmark Hotel though.

[vampirella]

yeah girl. let's do this thing. how do we do this thing... she's a philosophy major not an engineer... ...

but she's sensible enough to suggest reinforcing things and trying to dig trenches/sandbag, it's just she won't want to actually do it... at least not if anyone's watching her closely <.<

[bunny_suit]

Well, aside from when she's injured, she'll help with whatever needs done.

+1

[unwieldy]

what the heck he just settled in >:T save the hotel!!!

[vampirella]

save the hotel and SAVE THE HOTEL BAR

this would be a great time for them to meet and grouse about humans tbh

[unwieldy]

OH SHIT THE BAR

[vampirella]

Oh my god this image is such a MOOD

if anything survives... the bar is the priority

+1

[immortalaccursed]

Although when I say "Defend" I mean he'll be trying to keep the suite he claimed for himself from collapsing and will not be actively trying to hinder other people from uh, doing stuff.

He will mostly be loafing around and complaining and maybe ordering other folks around if they make eye contact.

[vampirella]

look she can respect those kind of priorities

but if the foundation fails all the rooms will fail too... but ordering others around and inspiring them to do work so she doesn't have to is very helpful so thank you ardyn

[bigtoughgirl]

meg lives here so she's also interested in preserving it

[catholicisms]

thank you meg... you seem to have sense and work ethic, which carmilla severely lacks

[ultraviolents]

well she has sense anyway

[catholicisms]

she's also hot that might inspire someone to do the work one can only hope so

[worthallthis]

Adding another for the hotel, Stone is making this kind of his base of operations for watching over the whole downtown area. Since he's doing a lot of flying, and the multi-story building makes a great place to land....

[vampirella]

a huge dragon creature sounds like an amazing asset to the team, +10000

and she's not just saying that because she will have to do less work this way
