soul_ooc | ...Intrigue, and some missing faces.

Good evening, Soul Campaign! The names have been randomized from a very large pool (holy wow, you guys), so let's get this plot started! We apologize in advance: This post is slightly larger than usual.

On May 10th (which will take place on March 8th, one week from the time of this post, and will be a regular day change instead of a week-long one), the following Guests will be cornered, chloroformed, and hauled away in a sack:

Mail "Matt" Jeevas
John Egbert
C.A. Cupid
Naoto Shirogane
Yako Katsuragi

The victims can absolutely fight tooth and nail to get away, but ultimately the kidnappers will be successful. They've been planning something like this for a long time, and aim to be frighteningly efficient.

Victims will wake up together in a weird underground chamber (they left you three lanterns for light in there, aren't they kind?) with their communicators confiscated, alongside anything that could be considered a weapon. Twice a day they'll lower a basket of food and water for you, and will be kind enough to escort you somewhere where you can, er, do your business. This is when those kidnapped will get their first glimpse of the kidnappers, figures dressed in dark, baggy clothing, hoods, and venetian masks. An open log will be made for those kidnapped to freely interact with one another during their imprisonment. What better time to get to know a new face, or speak with someone you always passed on the street before...

But fear not! A rescue team will be assembled and head out on the morning of May 13th (a week-long day change taking place on March 19th to allow ample time for tagging) to go in, kick some masked butt and get their friends back! A log will be made for the rescue as well.

Shibusen will issue the victims brand new communicators upon their return, but some brand new faces may start popping up over the DEMISE Network...

A Timeline, In Short:

-May 10th in-game (March 8th, regular day change) - Kidnapping
-Prisoner Interaction Log going up on May 11th, covers the duration of imprisonment
-May 13th in-game (March 19th, week-long day change) - Rescue Log

As for the rest of you, the City's getting crazier by the day! Looks like diplomats (and maybe a little Calming Wavelength) are needed to try and calm the rioting masses and talk them down, while volunteer groups have to shake a leg harder than ever! As for the gumshoes... there are plenty of sources of information to tap and clues abound. Can you solve the mystery?

If you have any questions, leave a comment! Otherwise, feel free to use this post for event coordination!

...you better not think anyone is holding Cupid without a shower for three days without her starting to slip into some serious psychological warfare. She is the child of Psyche yo, you don't know what you're in for.

But no seriously she will be so miserable and also wow rude dragging people off in sacks.

She really will start trying to psychoanalyze their captors though. Force of habit.

Cupid, that might cause more trouble than wanted in the predicament. Oh well, can't allow a friend to be hurt.

Nah, she'll be ok, she'll probably just be extra-sulky at the kidnappers forever.

Also Naoto why are these people being jeeeeerks?

That's good.

Can't say immediately. Perhaps effected by whatever is infecting the other citizens or the ones behind it.

She really might start compiling notes on their behaviors in her head though, especially if they take her mirror. God help them if they take her iCoffin though, she has important pictures on there.

Do people here always fall victim to localized crazy?
