Glass Vial of Emotion Discussion/signups
Hey! Zoki here. I just thought I'd let you know what I have on the horizon and get cracking with the planning, since it's two weeks away now. It's approved, but it's not on the calendar yet because I haven't been as clear as I should be with logistics. Hopefully this will help me get it ironed out!
Plot: Glass Vial of Emotion
Date: July 1st-whenever (I am really bad at estimating how much time is needed. 3-4 weeks, maybe?)
Runner: Zoki/me, but I'll need help if we go over---see below.
Size: I'd say 10 is about the number I can handle by myself, but if possible I'd like to arrange a system where some of us NPC for each other to make it unlimited. And who knows, I might not even need that much space. This post is partially to gauge interest and let me see what I need to do to make it work.
Synopsis: Our heroes touch down in Verdriet Village, a small place that's having quite a lot of trouble because their water supply has run dry. There's a blockage up by the lake that feeds into their river, but no one from the town is willing to go out and fix it. Our crew is led into it, but they'll soon learn why the villagers were so reluctant: the woods have an appetite for heroes. They all get chewed up, but almost none are spit back out alive. Can our crew beat the odds?
Basically, the Verdriet Forest is a very creepy place. The crew will see their worst nightmares brought to life, the inhabitants are extremely creepy and terrifying, and some of the crew might very well be lost to the darkness. It seems to have something to do with the magically sealed bracelets they were given in the village...
Without giving too much away, you'll have a chance to present your character with pretty much any awful/disgusting/morally questionable scenario you want, with the goal of pushing them to the limits of their perseverance and hope. There's even a way to turn your character to the dark side if they lose all hope---they'll then be the enemy. No one will be lost forever unless you want them to be, but don't expect happy endings here.
With all that said, expect some very dark themes to be discussed and played out in this plot. There will be brief mentions of gore at a minimum, but please let me know if there's something you're really not comfortable with. I want to make this as inclusive as possible, and I can cluster characters to face or not face certain things if necessary.
So, questions? Interest? Horrible ideas? Let me know what you want and I can start building a more concrete plan. The plan will be more concrete and updated on Wednesday, with official signup details finalized.
