Player Plot: Off the Tracks (Feb. planning)

[missleading]

Hi everyone! Your friendly protag player Pearl here, with the first of many player plots I have planned over the coming months. These plots will follow in-game events for Persona 3, so if you would like to avoid spoilers for the game, don't click on the cut link!

Sometime during the full moon in February, the mist will roll into the city of Paris. Strange Outland creatures known as Shadows will begin to stir, converging on Gare du Nord station. What they're planning isn't clear, but those who are sensitive to the flow of the mists will feel something powerful in the tunnels below...

Who is ready for a train mission! This will be a combat-heavy log, taking place ICly in mid February. Seers will get advance notice via Cassandra, so this team will be deployed prior to the attack. The penultimate fight will be with a Shadow that has taken control of the metro trains.

Please note! The train will need to stay in, or roughly at, the same condition it was before being taken over.

There will be 5 slots available for this player plot mission. A teacher/TA/Grad isn't required for this, but I would love to have one involved. I'll be running this plot, so please keep this in mind if you are considering tossing a teacher this way. There's also an opportunity to toss a Seer in as a Navigator, giving information about the battle to the combatant team. If you're interested, let me know!

Due to the canon and some of the imagery associated with it, I ask that you please read and comment to Minako's permission post before signing up and/or expressing interest.

Please comment below if you're interested in joining this player plot mission. I'll be submitting a write-up this weekend!

COMBATANT SLOTS ARE NOW FILLED!

METRO INFILTRATION PARTY
Valvatorez (teacher)
Mal
Ren Amamiya
Peter Parker
Minako Arisato
Hibiki Amamiya (Nav/Support)


EDIT: Wow, I didn't expect this to fill so quickly! Because of that, I'll be looking at doing the lead up as a semi-open log for exploring the area and healing the infiltration party after the operation., This will be open to to non-combatants for direct support before and after the operation. tl;dr give me your healers and those experienced with Outlands shenanigans.

Mal is always happy to join in blowing things up.

[missleading]

Mal please don't blow up the train, their school is rich but it's not thatrich...

[schemerfreak]

Oh, fine. She makes no promises not scratching up the train while fighting though.

Cause... she can't exactly do thorn magic on a train (that would be bad).

[prisoneroffate]

Ren's in

[capital_asset]

Raidou would be interested.

[arcadianvampire]

I would gladly throw either of mine into this to help out. Val's a teacher, so if this dorky, extra vampire can be of assistance, I'd be willing to send him in. He could even look at it as... well, research.

Otherwise, Gunvolt can enter as a student and throw around a bunch of lightning as necessary and could use more real experience as part of a team.

Whichever you'd prefer for sake of narrative, I'm good.

[missleading]

Val has extensive knowledge of the Outlands, right? He'd be a great asset for this.

If you want GV to get more experience, feel free to throw him in. I have no immediate preference between the two.

[shinetagonist]

Hibiki can totes handle that Seer slot

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

Potentially interested! But I can also sit out if need be, since there's a bunch of people interested.

[missleading]

It looks like we have a full party, but I think most of us are quick taggers, so I could probably flex to 6. Let me think it over this afternoon and get back to you.

[eudaimonikos]

Party's full, but since you wanted people to sound off here for pre/post-event stuff, Michael would probably hop along to things involving Minako!

[missleading]

That would be great! There should be some opportunities to spread false information in order to cover up the operation—I imagine that's something Michael would be good for?

[eudaimonikos]

Oh, he'd be great at that! He can be like five different people all spreading rumors at once!

[made_up_names]

DAMN I missed this! Sign me up for next time.

[missleading]

That doesn't mean that Peter can't help on the non-com side! I'll be writing up some brief objectives, so you're welcome to toss him in on the operation. I'll try to give some advance notice the next time I toss one of these up, I didn't expect it to fill up so fast!

I will be giving priority to people who weren't in previous missions for any future player plots, so he should be able to get in on this.

[made_up_names]

Awesome on both fronts! And no worries, I figured there'd be more.

[playitagain]

Nana definitely is down for pre- and post- stuff! ROOMIE

[missleading]

ROOMIE /reaches for!!

[playitagain]

I WANT THAT ICON TO HAPPEN

[punches_fog]

Tagging here to say I'm down for the open stuff. And will do my best to remind myself to be there for it.

[missleading]

Open stuff is set up to be a free-for-all, so if you're able to tag into it then cool. If not, that's totally cool too!

[heromedal]

Concept: Rex does his creepy 'man in the shadows' thing and observes everything without anyone knowing. Because gathering covert intelligence on his allies is Rex all over. And a good illustration of how he's not a Good Boy yet.

[missleading]

So business as usual for him. Got it. Get them those deets, Rex.
