Seven Deadly Sins Plot Schedule

[vesania]

Oh look, a wild plot schedule has arrived. Bear in mind, this is a mystery horror plot, so I won't be giving away all the details just yet. This is just to help you understand the basics of what will be going down and when times will be busiest and so forth.



Bear in mind you can sign your character up to be infected at any time here. And everything you need for this plot can be found in the Plot Hub



DAY ONE - 21st November

Characters who were on the Lastlook expedition begin to fall sick. As the day wears on, their personalities begin to warp as they fixate on whatever sin strain of the virus they have contracted. ONLY CHARACTERS WHO WERE ON THE LASTLOOK EXPEDITION WILL GET SICK THIS DAY



DAY TWO - 22nd November

Now fully infected, the characters who grew sick on day one gain powers individual to each sin strain they contracted, and begin hunting down uninfected characters to infect them. From this day onwards, ANYONE who signed up can be infected. For the entirety of the plot, any infected character from any point will be the antagonists and will continue indulging in their sins and infecting other characters.



DAY THREE - 23rd November

A clue appears in the library on the origin of the virus, which leads to more clues for our researchers to follow. THIS WILL BE THE MOST ACTIVE DAY OF THE PLOT FOR THE RESEARCHERS. There will be lots of running around and treasure-hunt-y sort of things. There will be TWO (2) IC plot posts on this day. One mass post and one MYSTERY.



DAY FOUR - 24th November

The race to cure the virus continues. There will be one (1) mass IC post today.



DAY FIVE - 25th November

FINAL DAY. A big push to cure the virus for good. There will be TWO (2) IC plot posts on this day. One mass post and one MYSTERY.

Question!

[youfallback]

Is it possible to sedate characters on the first day (i.e. when they become so fixated that it could become self-destructive?) or will the virus override any of that?

For example, previous plans were to have Carolina accidentally infect most of the UNSC cast at some point on the first day by being around them(?) and then York would have the infirmary sedate her (we're still ironing out this part) for her safety. It would also possibly mean that if she's unconscious, she won't be using any of these powers either (which I'm cool with if you guys approve!).

Would that be possible?

[vesania]

Well, first off, other characters who weren't on the Lastlook trip won't get infected until Day Two, the virus needs the day to grow to full strength. It would also be VERY hard to accidentally infect someone, as it's very much a purposeful act, and by the time the infection can be spread, the infected will want to spread the virus around.

Sedation IS possible, but by the time Carolina would be infecting people, she would have already got her powers. So it's possible, but it will be difficult.

[youfallback]

They were on the trip, but they were meant to be infected by Carolina. Anyways, this answers my questions just great, thanks!

[vesania]

If they were on the trip, they're already infected. As I said in the first OOC post, everyone who went on the trip was exposed to the virus outright. The only people who WON'T get sick who were in Lastlook will be those who have an immunity.

So they either get sick on the first day of their own accord or not at all.

[youfallback]

Oh! Sorry. I must have read wrong. I didn't feel the language in the first OOC post implied a "first day or nothing" vibe for those on the Lastlook expedition. I thought it meant that the only ones who could get sick/manifest symptoms were hose on the expedition. Thanks for clearing that up!

[vesania]

Taken right from the post: The virus has been lying dormant in your character's systems, waiting for the perfect time to strike. Dormant meaning it's already there. I apologise if that wasn't clear enough. I am willing to allow for characters who were on Lastlook to get sick on later days if they prefer, but they cannot be infected by someone else, as they have already been exposed to the virus simply by being on the expedition.

[youfallback]

I did read that! I was just applying my knowledge of dormancy =/= infection and, essentially, I just over-complicated things in my head. No need to bend the plot! I'm very cool with adapting to it. Thanks again for clearing things up!

[vesania]

Well, in simple viral terms (we're not going into anything overly-complicated medical wise for an RP) I mean dormant. As in the virus is already in their systems.

That's fine. So long as she doesn't infect anyone who was already on the Lastlook trip, I'm cool with just about anything.

[youfallback]

/nodnodnod. No, I gotcha. I had my Virology textbook from undergrad out when I heard the word "virus" and was looking up all kinds of different transmission pathways/being silly and over-complicating things. <3

[vesania]

Well, bear in mind Paradisa is a magical land, so the virus isn't going to be transmitted in a regular fashion. In fact, someone already figured out how the virus is transmitted, in one of the threads during the expedition. It's definitely not by any normal means, given not every player has a virology textbook on hand ;)

[youfallback]

AH YEP gotcha. Thanks again!

[fanstheflame]

Oh, boo, the most research-intensive IC day is the day we're going to be busiest at work ... /sniffles.

I will still be as all over this as I can, though! Because yay ~MYSTERY~.

[vesania]

It's ok, the research/LET'S BEAT THIS team will get plenty of stuff to do on Saturday and Sunday too. Really, the plot requires them a great deal, so you will have plenty of chances, I promise :3

[theabjectauthor]

OH WOE HOORAY. Thanks, hon. :)
