PARADISA OOC

And that's it folks, the Rex is getting sent back to the dinosaur death island, leaving your characters to enjoy the rest of the evening in San Diego undisturbed. When they wake up tomorrow morning, they'll be in Paradisa once more.

By all means, please continue tagging old threads. If you have struggled to find a place to jump in on this plot, or missed it, and still want to do something with the NPCs, please leave a note in the comment below and I'll happily backtag some NPC action, with Tembo, Harding or with dinosaurs. Incidentally, if I've accidentally missed out a thread of yours, just leave a link to it in that comment too and I'll get right onto it.

Please use this post for any feedback you wish to give (positive and negative - it all helps in running better plots in the future), or if you want to leave anon feedback, you can do so in my contact post, it's anon-enabled and screened.

Finally, if you want to read back on anything the PLOT HUB will remain forever!

This has been a fantastic plot guys, exhausting as it has been, I've had a great time and I hope you have too!

JUNE 20TH

In the morning, a call comes out across the radio. It's the cruise ship (yes the one with all the opt out guys on). The captain has heard a distress call from InGen and is on his way to the docks. All you have to do is get there.

Unfortunately, the way is rife with dinosaurs, especially raptors (though the T-Rex...and Tembo will be mysteriously absent) but you have your powers now, right? It shouldn't be that much of a problem.

Once they get onto the ship, it will head to San Diego, where InGen have put them all up in a luxury hotel to make up for the problems. Because everything is better with a spa and chocolates on your pillow, right?

There will be three IC posts this day. The first, the message from the ship, will be put up in the early afternoon, GMT. This will be there to react to all day. The second post, will be put up whenever I finish working stocktake at work (because surprise shifts like that are fun) I'm aiming for about 11pm GMT but that's a ballpark figure. There will be a third post later still allowing characters to meet up on the cruise ship and head to San Diego.

Well, that was an exciting night wasn't it? The converged teams are now camping near the river, and will have a peaceful night. In the morning, the camp will be visited by a pack of compsognathus. They're tiny little buggers, but there's a lot of them. They shouldn't be that much of a problem, though. Unless...you know, someone pisses them off.

The compys will soon flee however, when one of the Rexes appears in the camp, following their trail. It will attack and force the group to split into two again. It iS completely up to the player which side they chose to be on:

TEAM FOLLOW THE RIVER

Will be chased by the T-Rex into a cave, where they will spend an awkward evening, before they get to a new base camp.

TEAM GO INTO THE LONG GRASS

Will Run into long grass and get attacked by raptors. This trail will lead them to a communications building to call for help. This action turns on everyone's powers on the whole island, regardless of what group they are in hooray!

Teams sleep in their respective areas - no tents or trailers, sleep wherever you can find space.

There will be three IC plot posts on this day. The first for the converged camp will be put up at around 7-8PM GMT. The following two, representing whichever path a character choses, will be put up later in the evening, hopefully around 10-11PM GMT

As always feel free to use this post to plot things out! And don't be afraid to tag into older posts, any NPC required tags WILL be seen to.

The time for relaxing is over, the dinosaurs have decided to make it very known they are wild animals now, and you all look like delicious meals on legs.

TEAM HARDING
Their peace will be disrupted by Harding bringing in that injured baby T-Rex from Tembo's camp, wanting to rescue it because that's how Sarah rolls.

Little Rexy's parents won't be far behind to express their annoyance of having their precious little bundle of joy taken from them.

To avoid the T-Rex attack, there will be a couple of High Hides up high in the trees, providing a safe vantage point to watch your friends being attacked in their trailers.

TEAM TEMBO:
Wonder how Harding got Little Rexy? It looks like she sneaked into camp to rescue the little fella. Not only that, but she's released a lot of the caged dinosaurs too. They'll run rampant through the camp, until character get them under control. Once that's done, they'll need to go to the rescue of Team Stupid.

When all is sane again, both teams will converge and sleep in the woods.

There will be three to four IC posts this day, depending on post traffic. One post for each team will go up at about 7:00pm GMT, with the T-Rex attack taking place at around 9-10:00PM GMT, with the final post (or thread in the third post - depending on how busy that post gets) happening some point later in the evening. As always, characters are welcome to make their own journal entries. Feel free to use this post to plot!

JUNE 17TH - JUNE 21ST


It's time once again for a dinosaur plot! Some of you might have been around for the Jurassic Park plot, well, it seems InGen aren't quite finished with you yet!

Characters arrive on Isla Sorna "Site B", an island where the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park were bred for the Super Fun Happy park characters visited a few years ago. Since then, the dinosaurs have been roaming free, no fences, no lysine problems, just wild animals. Giant, terrifying wild animals.

Characters will be split into two teams for this plot. There will be no offical sign ups, as the teams will not be permanent: there will be a point in the plot where both teams mingle and split off into two separate teams again - creating lots of varying CR opportunities! Players can either choose what team they join, or they can ask us to randomise them. The teams will be:

TEAM HARDING

They will learn they have been sent by John Hammond to observe the dinosaurs in their natural habit, to prove that they can exist there and need to be left alone. The team will be headed by the NPC Sarah Harding (awholenewbook) an animal behaviourist and daughter of the chief vet of Jurassic Park.

They will sleep in TRAILERS - five to a trailer. They will have limited weapons, after all, they're not here to kill anything.

TEAM TEMBO

They will learn they have been sent by the new head of InGen, Hammond's nephew. They are there to capture the animals for a zoo in San Diego, because obviously that's a fantastic idea. The team will be headed by the NPC Roland Tembo(collectmyfee) a big game hunter.

They will stay in TENTS - four to a tent. They will have plenty of weapons and vehicles, and the camp will be surrounded with caged dinosaurs.

If you wish to opt out of this plot completely, there will be a cruise ship about a mile from the island. There will be no plot posts for this option, but players are more than welcome to make their own.

Much like the previous Jurassic Park plot, players are welcome to NPC the dinosaurs as much as they like. The mods will be using the dinosaurs as well (especially during key plot points), but you guys have a lot of freedom over what the dinosaurs do as well!

Also following the previous plot, there will be no deaths for this plot aside from a few NPCs, to give people more time to recover after the last slew of deaths. Injuries are more than welcome, however!

Please use this post to plan all you need!

FAQ

Will characters be with or without powers this plot?
They will start off without powers, and powers will be returned to them during the course of the plot. AT A SECRET POINT OF SECRECY.

Direwolves. Yes/no/make them wolf-dog mix/cupcakes?
Nope, sorry, no pets/direwolves/etc. Tis not fair to those who start off with no powers. They can totally be roaming about the cruise ship and get involved in the finale, however!

Will the objectives of the teams remain the same after theteams meet up, and will it be the characters' choice as to which team to go with at that point?
They will indeed remain mostly the same (obviously the desire to get through it all ALIVE will become a major priority for both) and it's completely up to the characters which team they join when they split.

Robutts/AI type characters ... do they stay in their normal bodies or do they get flesh and blood type bodies for this?
Totally up to you on this one! Obviously anything extra to the robot's body wouldn't work, lasers and the like, it would be stripped down to basic functions.

Can the captured dinosaurs on Team Tembo be freed?
They can indeed! In fact, it will become a plot point fairly early on in the plot - around day two. But players are welcome to let loose one or two before the NPCs catch them :3

Could new characters be introduced during this plot?
Sure, they'd appear in whatever team the player would like them to be in.

Would any of the characters' memories be altered during this event? Or is that up to the muns?
No. It's not a returning character plot, character memories will remain intact like any other plot.

Just a little unclear, do the characters get to actively choose IC which team they're on in the beginning, or is it chosen for them?
It's chosen for them. They'll wake up in their respective camps.
