Planning Post: The Case of the Missing Weapons

OOC: Hi everyone! Some sad news: I had work throw me a curve ball and just don't have time to run this right now (as the hiatuses indicated). As such, here is what happens:

1. The weapons are found behind a convenience store in Soleil! They are in some eco-friendly canvas bags and marked "PROPERTY OF NOT YOU."

2. The cuccos remain.

3. The culprit... er... will make a future appearance.

Very sorry, everyone! Work did a real number on my schedule.





Hello, everyone!

This plot is called "The Case of the Missing Weapons." While students are on vacation, coming and going from campus, something terrible starts to happen: students' and faculty members' weapons begin to vanish. Sometimes, "weapons" is broad -- for instance -- Wen-li Yang's pen goes missing because it looks like a lightsaber.

With each, a poorly written note is left there. The first round are all attributed to said Yang, though the note reads: "I HAVE STOLEN YOUR WEAPONS! GWAHAHA! YANG WENLY" Other robberies will occur the same way. Weapons vanish while people are out and about -- rarely from rooms (unless the door is unlocked), but in Soleil or the Citadel, weapons may just vanish. This is absolutely, entirely opt-in.

The plot is on the post here! It is open for characters to realize their weapons (or "weapons") have gone missing, to talk to those implicated (poorly) in similar notes, to search for clues, or to encounter chickens (please see the post for more). Below, there are three sign-ups:

1. BADLY FRAMED INDIVIDUALS: These are the poor souls who have been framed with badly written notes. Whether anyone believes they have done this... well, that's only for the gods to say.

2. STOLEN WEAPONS: If your weapon was stolen, please note it here! This will be relevant in the finale. If your character was framed, feel free to comment on another character's to be framed for the theft of their weapon.

3. ASK FOR A CLUE: Searching for the culprit can reveal notes, which will lead on wild goose chases (and, eventually, to the culprit).

The culprit will be revealed on the weekend of August 3! There will be a sign-up for an encounter, which will be a little limited, closer to then. The weapons will be recovered then, and can be stolen at any point until the 3rd!

If you have questions or want to plan, please feel free! This is meant to be a lighthearted, funny plot to give everyone a break (... kind of). I hope you have fun!

Okay, but I want people storming into the bar demanding their weapons back while Jill screams internally in a mixture of horror and confusion??? So sign her up: Jill Stingray, "bartender @ Hog's Swill in Soleil" added on the end of her name in parentheses optional, but hilarious.

Ky's arming sword - it's a typical "Arming" or "Knight" sword of the late 13th century, with a simple flat round pommel that depicts the red cross with white background of the Knights Templar. There's nothing magical about it, it's just a good sturdy weapon.

Please feel free to make life more difficult, like he needs it. Bonus points if he's poorly framed multiple times and the name is never spelled correctly.

If Greg can lift a several hundred pound umbrella, he's welcome to snag it.

James built himself a Rune Rifle lately and now it's stolen, rip. (To avoid too much immediate upset, the stealing will be on like... the 20th.)

It looks like a normal rifle in its structure, but it's grey with a bunch of glowing runes on it that probably adjust a bunch of things about functionality if you know how to work with them.

Come the 20th, James is definitely gonna go on a search for his rifle, so.... maybe he can find something useful. Or useless. That's just equally welcome.

Seiji's nodachi/long sword being taken would be funny so yes, let's do that. It has a detachable shuriken above the hilt and a grip built into the blade above that. About six feet long from tip to tip and a five-inch wide blade.

How would Greg like a really cool magic sword that can...talk, for some reason. Weird, but probably fine.

sign anastasia up! the note would look pretty suspicious because it'd be signed as "anastasia rose" instead of "ana rose" or just "ana", so that'd kind of be a giveaway to anyone who knows her.

rizavi's on the case, starting 7/21, and would definitely love a clue of some sort!
