OOC PLOTTING: MIRRORS & MONSTERS

[chainlightning]

Thank you to everyone who signed up to have a bad time in Kirkwall! RNG has spoken, and the victims members are as follows!

Team A:
Merrill
Morrigan
Thranduil
Ellana
Inessa
Zevran
Bruce

Team B:
Maxwell
Bethany
Beleth
Leliana
Amelie



All members of Team A will have been told not to spread information about the eluvian around as it could lead to unwanted attention from Corypheus. All members of Team B will not have been told what, exactly, they're going to get from Kirkwall or how the other team got there until rendezvousing with Team A, in which case Merrill will ask them not to spread information about the eluvian either (and Morrigan will threaten everyone not to, let's be honest).

Team A will also get to very briefly experience the crossroads; as a reminder, they will experience this differently if they're elves or not! Non-elves will notice that it is very foggy, that there are sparks of green in the air, and that any vegetation appears to be dead. Elves will have a clearer view with no magic sparks, though it will seem darker, and any vegetation will appear to be in bloom. (Kate, I'm checking with the mods re: Thranduil since he's a rifter; I'll let you know what they say!) Thranduil the rifter "will experience the same discomfort and fatigue that non-elves experience in the Crossroads, and the environment will appear to him to be desaturated and flowerless and so on as well. However, other people will perceive him differently. It will be impossible to put a precise finger on what exactly is different about him, and he won't actually look any different, but he'll be a little difficult to bring into focus--like having to adjust camera lens, but so quickly it's hard to pinpoint--while simultaneously seeming a bit brighter than his surroundings" as per the mods! As this will be extremely brief, there will not be a thread for this; instead, they'll basically pop out of the eluvian and right into the action.

Team B... gets to experience a boat ride, yay! If you would like a thread for travel, let me know; otherwise, it can be handwaved!

All characters should have packed supplies based on what the mission was supposed to be (quick in-and-out for Team A, a pick-up mission for Team B) so that everything is that much worse while they're lost in the dark. I know some characters are paranoid and overpack, but let's not bring enough food for the entire team to have a 3-course meal, either.

As a reminder, the planned thread headings are as follows:
- Team A vs Venatori (group thread)
- Team A Lost AF (party style)
- Team A Fights Scary Things (group thread)
- Team B in the Hawke Manor and Gallows (group thread)
- Team B Pretending Not to be Lost (party style)
- Team B Fights Scary Things (group thread)
- Teams Reunite, Cry Lots (party style)
- optional Explore Kirkwall and Surrounding Area thread (party style)

I will be NPCing things for the group threads and popping in to the Being Lost threads (if you don't want me, let me know!) with some ~ambiance~.
