A winterland plotting interest gather/discussion post!!1

[devotedtothecore]

HELLO FRIENDS hope you had a merry winter holidays! A new year is coming, and with it, a new year to plot. Now that the Exsilium story has hit a chapter in which Transports are pretty much running the show for the time being, but it's been a pretty busy time of year for many, it seems like it might be handy to have an OOC get-together to throw around some ideas on Big Stuff For Characters To Do Together, to catch up on plot-and-subplot details (of which I'm not clear on the entirety of myself), for announcements/interestgathers for subplot ideas, and for general asking of questions that other people besides our mods might be able to help answer.

So without further ado:



WINTERLAND SHENANIGANS NEW YEAR'S EVE (AND AFTER) PLOTTING PARTY

Mostly I just want to unhelpfully +1 this comment, because this all reads really nicely to me.

I think it's a good plan for gathering intelligence on the current state of the UE, and allows opportunities for a lot of characters with various skill sets to get involved! And I like the idea of doing it in three phases like that. I'm down with the idea of a mission to Elmer's world, too, if that's a thing that can be done, since there are probably a fair number of characters (Katniss here included) that would actively work toward the goal of going home for good if the UE isn't a threat to their own worlds anymore.

How much does Katniss know of technology? Break would be hard-pressed to propose option #1 because haha pseudo-Victorian.

It has occurred to him to use the spaceship or the transporter pad for intelligence-gathering purposes, but how to narrow down where to start looking is the major sticking point.

If you're interested, Break and Katniss should talk!

Hmm... Katniss has some exposure to futuristic technology kind of stuff because of her time in the Capitol/the Hunger Games and (briefly) District 13. But that exposure mostly comes in the form of stuff like trackers, hovercrafts, force fields, genetically engineered murder animals, etc. (basically, Panem is a lovely place that invests most of its resources in finding new ways to kill people, ahaha). As such, I'm not sure she'd have the technological knowledge to suggest the satellite thing either, unfortunately. We'd need to rope in a more techno-savvy person to figure out part 1, probably, but she's definitely down with doing recon with the transporter pad and all that.

I'm definitely interested in having them talk! We should totally figure out how to set that in motion c:

Perhaps they can run into one another at the creepy castle?

Also, does Katniss have any CR with techno-savvy people who would have an idea about satellites? Unfortunately most of Break's CR is... sort of.... clueless in that regard, haha.
