Entanglement (OOC)

So the next Fay'lia propaganda announcement will involve them using their agent(s?) on board to find out the foibles and secrets of lots of the people on station.

They'll be taking one of two approaches to try to lure you over. Either they'll praise you by comparing you favorably to themselves or they'll condemn you and offer amnesty for your crimes if you work for them. The first approach is generally more useful with nobility or lawful alignment characters. The second works better with chaotic alignment characters or those involved with criminal organizations.

For instance, sample dialogue for the first approach, regarding Jinto and Lafiel: "Noble Abh, we know of your empire. It is much like ours. You seek a way of life where humans all know their place, as we do. Count Hyde, Viscountess Abriel, we would welcome you into the peerage as junior partners in this endeavor. Come to us, your true peers, rather than debasing yourselves by association with these primitive mud turtles."

And the second approach, regarding Sah'ot: "We know of your crimes too. Species miscegenation, sexual harrassment, aiding violators of the laws of the great institutes, stealing institute property, they are a long list. Come to us though and you can pay your debt by helping to enforce the law."

Reply here to sign up your characters for this announcement. Choose which approach the Fay'lia are taking with them and give us a few salient facts about them that the Fay'lia might use in that announcement. This will be ICly public so if there are secrets you don't want revealed, don't write them in your reply.

And if the attempted persuasion ends up working and your character wants to work as a Fay'lia agent, contact us mods!

Alright a few weeks have passed since the Bhor/Planck stop ended, and it's about time to decide on the next event/stop/whatever.

A couple ideas that we've been batting around the past couple days:

1: Crew lands on a planet that's mostly walled off city-states due to zombies outside on the largest continent. Turns out the zombies are actually representations of the rage of a slaughtered population. The highlight of the city's entertainment is an endurance footrace across the zombie country, armed only with a foam bat. Some of the characters go on the footrace. The ones who stayed in the city have to convince the populace to reconcile with their past and make some kind of gesture of apology to placate the dead. Could be a fun deconstruction but also could get way crass if we handled it wrong

2: Another zombie idea, characters arrive in the midst of a zombie apocalypse and take on refugees from the planet. Then the Fay'lia arrive suddenly too, solve the zombie problem almost immediately and then the crew has to deal with these hundreds of refugees on board who are now pissed off because they're all criminals now. They have to find a new home for them somehow.

3: (small sized plot) The crew meets a space version of the Westboro Baptist Church and has to decide wether having them as a somewhat powerful ally is worth them being hate filled pissants all over the station.

4: (small sized plot) Sandoval does some kind of sexual act in a place with sensitive electronics and causes a large portion of the station to just...fall. off.

5: (small plot) Alchemy array breaks and crew's only way to feed themselves is an alien who tags along by the station, selling them shitty food at high prices. Crew must figure out a way to become self sufficient in food.

6: (small sized plot) Crew captures a Fay'lia and has to make the moral choice wether to torture him/her for information.

7: (ongoing small plot) The Fay'lia are producing a moe-moe magical girl series that is effective propaganda for the empire. The crew has to get together and produce a counter-series that glorifies the resistance.

Keep in mind that small plots can be combined/go on simalteneously.

We definitely want to hear your suggestions here too! If you have an idea, write it down here.
