EXPLOSIONS YEESSSS

[c3p-0h]

@Mokley if you're stuck did you wanna talk through ideas with us? I find it's always easiest to write when I have someone to bounce ideas off of ^.^

[Mokley]

Hmm. Ok.

The disease is what is splitting people on the issue. In one camp are those who see the benefits of the crystalline, which are certain connections with otherworldly things. Those afflicted who manage to live with it can see/hear/interact with things that no one else can. They are therefore acting as prophets, they know something is coming, and they want to recruit as many afflicted people as possible to help fight it.

The other camp wants to destroy the crystalline by any means necessary. They see the prophets as terrorists that are spreading the disease wherever they go, spewing lies about saving the world to cover up for their massacres. They're especially looking for Spook, who they only know by name and mask, who they believe is the ringleader.

Which brings us to the present moment. North is Spook's thought, meaning something to do with The Thing That Is Coming. He's found something important, something he needs to retrieve and secure in order to prevent The Thing That Is Coming.

The guy in the underground -- the crystalline one -- therefore isn't the real threat. If he dies, everyone in that underground will be afflicted. If any of the crystalline patients in those cots dies, everyone will breathe in the disease. Those devoted to abolishing the disease are aware of this. This is what Switch means by massacre waiting to happen.

[chukklehed]

ok? Where does the disease come from again? Demons? Does that mean anybody who's interacted with a dead demon has it?

[Mokley]

Not necessarily -- the demons get the disease the same way anyone else does. It's universal.

The Thing That Is Coming has something to do with the origin of the disease and the way to cure it -- but those that are already afflicted (and whoever has the mask, to an extent) are the only ones who can know this for sure.

The disease is a byproduct of something else that also is the reason the cities are all isolated from one another.

[chukklehed]

K I have no ideas except explosions

[c3p-0h]

they know something is coming, and they want to recruit as many afflicted people as possible to help fight it.

… They see the prophets as terrorists that are spreading the disease wherever they go,

@mokley

this could be a cool relationship to explore. especially since you seem so fond of offering up different factions with differing interpretations. ^.^

The disease is a byproduct of something else that also is the reason the cities are all isolated from one another.

@Mokley

this is what i find interesting… i hadn't even considered why the cities would be so isolated.

so i guess what i'm most interested in is seeing how the world and the factions get fleshed out. so maybe seeing different parts of this lore in action would be good? for the characters to react to and try to get their bearings and figure out where they stand? because as long as this rp has been going, we're still sort of in the early chapters haha. the characters haven't quite found their footing to figure out their own stakes in this plot.

…idk if any of that was helpful. i've gotten 4 hours of sleep per night the past 3 nights, and i've worked every day. i'm dead. i have so much to do.

but tonight! i sleep!!
