Adeala plot thread!

...we could have a dramatic run-in with the authorities.

Yeah we could have a run in with Sam Jackson... er... Cain and he could cause trouble!

a bunch of stuff about Regan

I love it when a plan comes together. I kinda hinted in another thread that Grace could be the one to let Regan know what ship Magdalen was on if she and Solomon talk again and she sees Magdalen in the background. She'd tattle to Charlie, Charlie to Regan, and then Regan intercepts the ship when they dock somewhere and tries to get his sister back (and then robot ass-kicking proceeds to happen).

Do you want to talk more about Regan's motivations/the fiance/plot ideas in that one plot thread so we don't clutter this one up? if we can hammer out a good niche for him, I'd be happy to add him as an NPC to help shake the plot up.

As long as it happens before Wedneday (which is when he has to be heading back to Terra so he can arrive on Saturday to interogate Unwin) then I say we have him show up and scare the pants off of everyone.

No! Not the paaaaants! *flail*

[Blank]

yes the pants! off of everyone! except for Olive 'cause she doesn't wear any

That'd cause a lot of grief for the rest of the crew, since it's an authority figure and some of them have been targeted in the past. They'd all be considered obstacles in some way.

Was just thinking about this... for the supposedly "good" ship (at least compared to the Queen of Spades), most of the people on it sure have a lot on their records, huh? XD

[Claire]

Haha, that's true! Although Magdalen's record doesn't really count. Because .. she didn't do anything. She was just framed.

So she's innocent!

dark secret pasts for eeeverybody!

[Sarah]

So I was thinking the ship could head to the Underworld after they leave Antheia. Sol would probably not really know of it's existence, but maybe Blaine or someone could bring it up as a smart place to lay low in for awhile... and maybe not go into extreme detail so when they get there it's a total shock to them all, who are mostly "do-gooders", lol.

Maybe they can pick up some sort of transport job there or something? (Since they'll need a new source of income asap)

[Blank]

The Underworld sounds like a great idea! There's lots of room for fish-out-of-water scenarios, and an excuse to have Grace spot Magdalen so the tattling can ensue (and Regan can become a problem).

[Claire]

Yes! I've been looking forward to getting the whole Regan subplot underway. (:

[Sarah]

Just had this mental image of Sol accidentally walking into the whore house and going ".... uhhhh..."

;D

[Blank]

With Olive trailing right behind.

"Look! There's a bunch of girls here! And they're all-"
"OLIVE, WE HAVE TO LEAVE."
"But that one's dressed up like a-"
"NOW, OLIVE, WE HAVE TO LEAVE NOW"

[Sarah]

Okay, we need to get the ship MOVING people. I'm going to try to post way way way ahead and get them to The Underground before we're three weeks behind.

I was hoping to get in a thread with them all at dinner, and I may still start that, but there's little point if all we need it is so that Blaine can suggest going to the underworld. We can just imply that happened, if everyone is okay with it.

So the newest thread arriving in the Underworld is here:
afutureforgotten.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=underdocks&action=display&thread=802&page=1

Now don't forget that there are still threads that need some posting and finishing up. First being the return to the ship with Cass:
afutureforgotten.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=antheiaspaceport&action=display&thread=758&page=1

And I also just started a new one for the morning after that, specifically for Sol and Mags and Cass to have a talk:
afutureforgotten.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=adealacockpit&action=display&thread=801&page=1

There is also the Cain and Magdalen thread that never really got going:
afutureforgotten.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=antheiaspaceport&action=display&thread=728

Those are, as far as I can see, the main plot threads we need to finish/begin at this point.

However, be aware that we have now skipped over week 3 completely. Week 3 will have been spent entirely on board the ship en route from Antheia to the Underworld, so if anyone wants to start threads happening on board in that time, by all means go ahead. There's still a lot of character development and relationship building between the crew members that can happen, and that can mean all sorts of situations:

-Cass, for instance, is now a crew member and can be getting to know everyone better than she was before, so any number of characters can begin a thread with her involvement. A good suggestion might be Caden.
-Reese is the new passenger and can have all sorts of interactions with people on board.
-more meal discussions of random topics
-chaos and slapstick is always welcome
-use your imagination! that's what the site is about after all.

[Sarah]

Okay so we've lost a bunch of crew members on this ship, and we're waaaaaaaaaaay behind, timeline wise. I'm thinking of just writing them out of the ship (I'd say most of them stayed on the Underworld for various reasons?). Anyone have any suggestions??

Characters we have that are actually IN PLAY right now are essentially Sol, Olive, and Cass. The rest are deleted or MIA/UpForAdoption.

[Sarah]

No suggestions, huh?
