PARADISA OOC

The prelude to the next expedition (CASTLE WIDE)
June 14th - June 17th

Starting tonight, the castle's going to be getting an extraordinary amount of new residents, albeit only temporary ones. They're going to fly in on their parachutes over the next few days, and take up spaces in your lobby, your halls, your kitchen, your rooms –– everywhere and anywhere they can. They'll be quiet, but not unheard.

These new residents are, in fact, thousands of baby spiders.

They're very tiny; a half-dozen could nestle on one's thumbnail. Upon closer inspection, they seem to be common barn spiders, black and brown with striped legs. Curiously, when one is particularly close to one, they may hear the spiderlings.

They whisper: "Mother's awake! Mother's awake! The Flies coming, the Web is crying! Goodbye, goodbye, and thank you!"

And that's not all: a few days from now a messenger is coming to deliver them some terrible, terrible news.



Planning for the expedition (OPT-IN)
June 17th - June 21st

While we don't want to give away too much yet, this will be a brief expedition into an area yet to be marked on the map. It's very close to the border, so the journey won't take too long; any embarking on the mission will be leaving on Thursday night (the 17th) and be coming back home on Monday the 21st. We suggest you avoid this expedition if you have a phobia of spiders.

Once the characters have gotten the message, they'll be able to put plans in order and lead the way, but just so that people can do some pre-planning, here are the types of characters who'll be in demand:

* Characters skilled at wilderness survival WITHOUT powers.
* Characters skilled at search-and-rescue situations WITHOUT powers.
* Characters skilled at combat WITHOUT powers.
* Characters too stupid to care about how technically useless they are and want to go anyway.

Please feel free to use this post for questions, plotting, character offering, requests, etc. :)
