OKAY SO. I have done some basic skeleton work for another plot. Do you like... THE OCEAN? Do you like... HORROR?? That is what this plot is, hurray!
Quick Facts:
- It takes place on a deep sea station that has lost contact with the surface.
- There will be an overarching mystery of what happened to the original crew, plus survival elements, plus an environment of paranoia and suspicion.
- Engineering and medical tasks will be especially important as the crew tries to get the station functioning again.
- Characters will be given ample opportunity to explore nightmares and fears.
- Only room for eight people, since I believe that's the maximum for a private plot. Priority to people who help NPC, because I will probably need the help 8|
( Click for more info. )This plot will focus a lot on fear and suspicion; although there will be some actual physical threats, it's not really focused around bashing things in the face or being completely unaffected by whatever threat arrises. Instead, the crew will be subjected to a pressurized environment in which they don't really know what's going on, they're stuck in a big undersea station that is malfunctioning, NPCs are getting picked off, and
crew members might actually be sabotaging the station. So if you want to play with claustrophobia or existing interpersonal conflicts that get exacerbated under pressure, go for it.
There will also be plenty of opportunity to play with fears, since the crew will be experiencing nightmares while aboard. Maybe they're afraid of diseases, or facing the people back home, or being alone, or it can be completely ordinary or even pleasant dreams that just happen to prevent them from functioning properly while five miles under the ocean. Sleep deprivation and all. I'm also pretty open to suggestions for the characters involved in the plot, so if you (for instance) want your character to sabotage something, intentionally or unintentionally, or maybe just want them to do something in particular like going out and fixing something outside the station, or exploring, or even if you just want them to do something cool or scary and don't know what, I'll try and work with you to make it happen.
So yeah, I know a couple of you were interested or tentatively interested. If this still sounds like something you'd want to do, please let me know.
