[Nexus] GLoG 85
Please read as far as the double lines before posting in this thread
The Good League of Good is a Nexus organization devoted to the redemption of evildoers and the care and support of those in need. If you are looking to smite evil, please check out HALO or WATCHTOWER.
If you are brand new to ffrp, please come to the Nexus OOC thread and introduce yourself. We all want to meet you!
A Brief History of GLoG:
SpoilerYou know what this OP needs? A brief history of GLoG. Which would have to be written by one of the few people who were around from the beginning. Any volunteers?
Our Redemption Program:
SpoilerIndividuals who come in search of redemption should be interviewed by a member to see how their needs can be best met, and then assigned to a mentor who will assist them. Graduation from the redemption program will occur when both the redemee and his/her mentor agree that they have made sufficient progress.
Other Charitable Activities:
SpoilerIn addition to the redemption of evildoers, the organization performs other good works such as caring for distressed individuals in need, housing and feeding evacuees from the city during disasters, and healing sick and injured people in GLoG's infirmary - renowned as the most advanced place of healing in the Nexus.
Attention villains:
SpoilerConflict is great! It's the heart of any story, and there isn't much to roleplay without it. However, as a player to player courtesy, please check in with the players who are active at any given time before launching an attack. Not everyone wants to roleplay combat scenes, and sometimes there are other things going on that players don't want to interrupt for a random fight. Either a PM/IM to players, a short post in thread to say ((Mind if I introduce a villain here?)) or a longer post in the OOC thread if it's a larger plot is appreciated.
Also, please don't plan any villainy that will result in destroying the base or having the same effect (poisoning the lake, burning down the forest, etc.) without the consent of the majority of the players who would be affected.
Base Defences:
SpoilerThere is a perimeter of cactus plants to encourage anyone on foot to enter by one of the main entrance points.
((If any of your characters add more defences, please PM them to the person who made this thread so they can be added.))
======================================
If you're a newbie, and you've read this far, you should know enough to join in the fun.
Everything beyond this point is Bonus Material.
Members/Residents:
SpoilerPlease PM the creator of the OP to be added to the list when you bring a character into the thread with the intention of redeeming or of having them reside here on a regular basis. IC, we'll assume there's a sign in log somewhere.
Our IC leadership council:
Andreas Emeral (played by Zefir)
Brand Applehill (played by happyturtle)

Pathfinder (Wolfbane)
Reelshka (played by Morty)
Runner (played by KerfuffleMach2)
Shrike (played by The Bushranger)
Zamira (played by horngeek)

Description of the new GLoG setting:
SpoilerMap:
Spoiler
By Gulaghar
After the original GLoG building was destroyed by an army of catpeople, the survivors took out a mortgage and purchased Phoenix Lake Campground. Facilities include the main lodge house, a bathhouse with separate male and female sections, a stable (one horse present, a chestnut mare named Fancy owned by Dr Burnett), various picnic shelters, and a few scattered cabins. It's set in the foothills of the Acro mountains, and mainly surrounded by woods. There are many hiking trails nearby leading to mountaintop vistas, waterfalls, seacoves, and various other locations, both within this thread, and in the Outside thread. The campground is also within easy walking distance of the city of Inside, though there is also a Riftline station just outside the campground for those who prefer to take the train or who have farther to go.
At the lake, there is a small dock with a little shed nearby where a few canoes and paddleboats are stored. The swimming area has a GIANT slide and a rope swing. Because GIANT slides and rope swings are awesome. There is a sandy volleyball court not far from the slide, a playground under the trees, set back from the lake somewhat, and a set of horseshoe pits.
Having been built on a Generic Ancient Burial Ground, Phoenix Lake Campground is haunted by various ghosts. They are generally harmless, and for the most part glad to have some company, though pranks and hijinks may occur. Ghosts can be NPC'd by anyone unless they are listed as PCs in the Member/Resident list. They tend to speak in Gray, and mostly appear for comic purposes, but this is by no means a requirement.

Buildings:
SpoilerMain Lodge: This large building contains an industrial kitchen with a cafeteria style serving area, and an open space that was once used as the dining hall. The space is warmed by a massive fireplace. Bunk beds are lined up on one end of the hall, opposite the kitchen, and a few comfy chairs and sofas are beginning to appear around the fireplace as they are procured. The building itself is made of stone.
Bathhouse: This building is divided into the men's and women's bathhouses, with entrances at either end. It has shower stalls, a line of sinks, and toilet stalls in each.
Cabins: Individuals can have their own room within a cabin, but they are unlikely to have a full cabin to themselves unless they come equipped with a family. Some of the cabins have been rebuilt, so may have more space than the 4 room cabins the campground came with, and a few cabins have had private bathrooms installed. All cabins are named after trees, and players are free to invent further details about their own cabins.
SpoilerMain Lodge - Willow
Infirmary - Cedar
Cabin 1 - Oak
Cabin 2 - Sycamore
Cabin 3 - Redwood
Cabin 4 - Maple
Cabin 5 - Apple - Visitor's Cabin
Cabin 6 - Cherry
Cabin 7 - Chestnut
Cabin 8 - Birch
Cabin 9 - Dogwood
Cabin 10 - Elm - full
Cabin 11 - Denim - family cabin
Cabin 12 - Rowan - family cabin
Cabin 13 - Poplar - family cabin
Cabin 14 - Forest Hut - family cabin
Cabin 15 - Sapling - nursery
Cabin 5 - Apple is reserved for visitors who do not want to stay at the lodge. They are requested to check in at the main lodge, where any member can give them permission to stay for a few days. Longer than that, and unless they are in need, they would be requested to either join or move to their own place or one of the local inns.
New cabins can be added as the needed. Here is a list of unused tree names:
Linden, Larch, Ash, Pine, Magnolia, Olive, Fir, Spruce, Holly, Cottonwood, Cypress, Hemlock, Teak, Ebony, Pear, Fig, Date, Mahogany, Palm, Lime, Acadia, Gumbo Limbo…
Workshop: A well built cabin designed by Reelshka, containing nothing at present but the Mainframe installation. It is locked. Drones fly in and out of a small entrance that opens for them when they send an encrypted signal.
Infirmary: If no PC is present in the Infirmary, patients are tended to by Nurse Piper, a ghost NPC who haunts the infirmary. Despite being a ghost, she is solid enough when managing anything to do with nursing. She has a tyrannical bedside manner, but will always put the welfare of her patients first. She is able to generally stabilize patients and do general nursing care, but cannot provide magical healing or any type of advanced medicine that would normally be performed by a doctor.
PC healers include:
Quinn (The Bushranger) - doctor and paladin
Tobias (Firefox) - druid healer
Dr Adrian Rein (Murkus) - doctor
(PM the keeper of the OP if you want your character to be added to this list)
Infirmary Description
SpoilerThe outside of the infirmary looks just like all the rest of the buildings. Nothing distinguishes it at all.
But inside, everything is white, with silver highlighting. Even though it doesn't seem possible, when looking from outside, sunlight filters inside. Giving the place a warm feeling with natural light.
A soft, soothing music filters through the whole building and voices can barely be heard saying words of healing and comfort, like: "You are going to be okay." "We'll take care of you." "You are dear to us." and so on.
Each room is walled off for a limited amount of privacy, because the pixies know that humans seem to need this. Strange. But it is limited. There are no doors.
Kinda looks like this:
______________________________________
|___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___|
|__/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/|
|__________________________________---|
|_\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\_|
|__\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\|
Except the angles are more severe, so that people on the other side of the hall can't see into anyone's room. Only someone intentionally looking in, can see you.
There is also a small living area in the back for the Druid family.
About the Drones Mk 2:
SpoilerIn other news, the drones are back at GLoG. Drones are NPCs who can be played by anyone, within the guidelines below:
- Their Primary Function is member safety.
- They no longer have teleport beams or alignment scanners.
- They do have stun beams, little arms, and the ability to record what's going on around them.
- They follow orders, unless those orders conflict with their Primary Function.
- There are only 4-5 in operation at any one time.
- They can be destroyed, but if so, they'll be restored from backup.
- A few have been supplied with medical programming, and thus can be godmodded for infirmary duties.
- They often have weird personality quirks and are prone to malfunctioning.
- Statement: They speak in DarkOrange FixedSys
- The only named drone (so far) is Caretaker, who is a private drone charged with protecting Brinika and controlled by Morty.
There was some discussion about whether or not the time of the drones has passed, but since they are still sometimes used for mostly comic purposes, and since Brinika's personal drone is onscreen a lot, it seems right to keep a few around.

Jamie giggles, nods, and turns to lead the way inside!
It's a fairly rustic but comfortable cabin, with camp furnishings and all the usual stuff. Including a cheerful fire in the fireplace and a very well-stocked kitchen.

The magical girl steps into the building, anticipation evident on her face. Her eyes light up as she gazes around the cabin, and she smiles at Jamie. "Wow, this place is pretty cool..."
"...!" Upon spotting the floating metal drone, Sayuri reacts. Badly. She leaps back and summons her radiant cannon to her arm, pointing it shakily at the peaceful, nonthreatening ball-drone. "...so then... even now you follow me... even now you hunt me... even after all I've gone through! Even after all the hardships I've endured for you! Even after my sacrifice, you are still here! Well no more! Today... TODAY, IT ENDS!"
Her eyes have turned wide and crazy, barely suppressed fury and insanity brimming at the rims. Her cannon begins glowing with a deep violet glow. Nope, not stable at all... an Insane!MagicalGirl if ever there was one...Avatar of Furude Setsuna, by Telasi.Originally Posted by Akagi

Jamie reacts quickly, spinning and trying to tackle Sayuri to the floor!
She's faster than she looks.
A bit stronger, too.
"HEY! Stand down! Don't go trying to shoot Caretaker!"

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 85
Kitchen
Lily just makes Justin laugh for a bit. "I'm sure they know the difference. Carnivorous or not, they know what dears and rabbits eat. And you have to know some bad plants if you live in a forest and you're smart enough to walk upright." If he could read minds, he wouldn't really agree with Natalie's internal assessment. Different lives need different lessons. Just because Justin's life needs complex math and science, doesn't say the same for the Applehills. He tries not to judge even if he does so unintentionally.

Somewhere
Yuki stops and looks at Reinholdt a bit concerned. "Are you OK?" She gets up dusting snow off her. She looks around for a stick, shouldn't be too hard to do in this forested area. "Because you seem very strange." She observers to herself mostly grabbing the nearest stick she can find and holding it out to him.Last edited by McBish; 2013-02-05 at 10:38 AM.

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 85
Hackett nods once more, a little confused. Well, yes. I seek to help them deal with being undead, possibly cure them...etcetera. I seek to help undead who are not quite comfortable in their forms, or to at least make life a little easier for them. Plus, I am the psychiatrist of a peaceful church, so I could possibly help there. He smiles.
Marty is clenching his hands and adjusting his coat. He shudders and speaks again. T-Talk? But..w-why? Talking ch-changes nothing of the p-past...They're g-gone. My friends are g-gone. Nothing n-needs to b-be said...I'd rather let the d-dead lie... He's thinking up excuses as fast as possible. Is it c-cold in h-here?

There is no significant resistance to Jamie's tackle. Sayuri was barely even able to hold her weapon. She collapses backward, her loosely held cannon falling to the floor.
"...are you working for them too...? No no no they'll hurt me they'll take me back there they'll control me you don't know what they can do to me!" Two wide, frightened eyes look up at Jamie, and Sayuri begins shivering uncontrollably.Avatar of Furude Setsuna, by Telasi.Originally Posted by Akagi

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 85

Jamie has no idea what's going on!
But she knows she has two scared friends...
"I don't know what happened, but I promise you I won't let anyone hurt you. Ever," she tells Sayuri, her eyes showing just how much a promise like that means to her. "You're my friend, and I don't let anyone hurt my friends, alright?"
She then looks to see where Brinika went. "It's OK. I think. She didn't mean it."

Brinika is hiding behind one of the tables, her big orange eyes peering out. Caretaker is hovering above her - even though it was him that a gun was pointed at, his programming requires him to protect Brinika.
"So she's not going to shoot Caretaker?" she asks. She's normally trusting, but she takes it very badly when someone threatens her pet drone.My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

"Tito knows more about wild plants than even Waterstrider. But Dad knows more, and so does Pathfinder," Lily says. She doesn't include herself in the ranking, but she actually knows quite a bit more than the average 8 year old. "We used to have a family book with drawings of all the plants and herbs and what they could be used for, but I don't know what happened to it. I don't guess the slavers got it, because we didn't carry it with us that day." I totally didn't steal the idea of the family book from the Hunger Games. >.>

I've yet to read the Hunger Games. I'll have to get it out from the library at some point.
Lily probably knows more about plants than Natalie, though Natalie's mother likely knew more than Brand- she was an alchemist. "Not necessarily. Take yew berries- they're not poisonous, at least the flesh of them isn't, but the seeds are. Birds and some small mammals have learnt how to eat around the seeds in the berries, but if you watched them at it you wouldn't realise they weren't eating the whole berry."
Natalie is of the opinion that a basic knowledge in geography, history, English and maths is always useful no matter what you want to be. Geography for the identification of a good camp/defensive position if it becomes necessary, history for the mistakes of the past, English for the reading of books to expand one's knowledge and maths for economics.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle.

Sayuri's breathing still comes in short, sharp bursts, and she gazes hesitantly up at Jamie. On one hand, her friend and fellow magical girl is telling it's alright, and that she'll be safe. On the other, there's a drone that looks disturbingly like her ever-present hunters.
A pause. Then, she nods and murmurs softly. "...okay. I- I'll trust you... can I get up now...?" Her radiant cannon disassembles itself in a flurry of glowing shards.Avatar of Furude Setsuna, by Telasi.Originally Posted by Akagi

Reinholdt's now three feet to the left and holding a decanter of water that he's pouring on the dirt to make mud.

Reinholdt will then move to take the stick from Yuki and use it to draw a circle in the mud.
"Helios." Reinholdt repeats finally.

To Helios, on a private mind-line - not shared with Reinholdt - the other voice says, I didn't agree to that. We don't even know what he wants!My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

"No, she's not. She mistook him for somebody else."
Jamie's guessing, but given the circumstances, that seems a good guess to her!
She then looks back to Sayuri, and nods.
"Yeah." She'll try to give Sayuri's hand a squeeze before moving back and trying to help her up. "Caretaker is the last of the drones from our original base - and Brinika's best friend."
It's her discreet way of hinting an apology would be nice.

"Really? Well what do you know," Justin says, in the realization way, not in the actual question way. "You learn all of that from your dad, and you're pretty much ready to be a grown-up. As for yew, berries, I guess that's advantage Wolfen. Like I said, Smart and live in a forest, but I don't know a lot about Wolfen culture. They don't strike me as the school-house type. Actually we're making a lot of assumptions about that. For all I know they have flying cars." All honesty, he's just inferring tribal characteristics, mostly from the wedding.

Accepting the squeeze, Sayuri lets Jamie help her up. Still unsteady and recovering from her panic attack, she keeps a tight grip on her friend's hand, glancing up at Caretaker. "Ah, my apologies...

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 85

Within the muddy circle what appears to be very thick black smoke starts to appear as if someone had lit an invisible fire within. The thick smoke then starts to form into two spirals that starts to move upward against each other until they have formed into an tall black obelisk.
Two red lines appears at the very top of the obelisk quickly followed by a third longer line in the same color right underneath them. It appears as if they are represent two eyes and a mouth. "Greetings Reinholdt. It was some time since you contacted me, what can I do for you this time?" A cold voice speaks, the very same one Reinholdt had in his head not long ago. The long red line forms into a pumkin lantern-esq smile.
Mind link
We can blame a communication problem if you so desire. I just thought it was what you wanted seeing your comment there. But you are absolutely right of course Simone, I shouldn't assume so much. Assumptions are after all quite dangerous. Helios replies.

"Wolfen don't fly! They run!" Lily says. "Except that Waterstrider and Renetta took a cart, because they had baby Flamecrest with them, and because I don't think Renetta could really run far. And Pathfinder took a cart, because of taking Reelshka and Brinika. I wanted to go too! It's not fair! Mom and Dad never let us go anywhere!"
I highly recommend the Hunger Games trilogy. Though I'm not sure how they get away with marketing them as Young Adult books - they are very dark.

Let us see what he desires, and if a deal can be agreed. I am your servant in this, as in all things. Though as Helios well knows, his servant has a mind of her own, and sometimes rebels against his orders.Last edited by happyturtle; 2013-02-06 at 01:09 PM.

Yuki is impressed and intimidated by the obelisk. Her wings wrap around her and she takes a step back, trying to move herself behind Reinholdt a bit. She is glad the voice is addressing him and not her yet.Check out My Writing

"I suppose, given that the two who live here built their homes out in the forest that they wouldn't have much use for horses or carts. Horses are plains animals, and are poorly adapted for a forested habitat. Do you know if the horses needed training to let Waterstrider and Pathfinder approach them?" Because they're predatory, their scent might have spooked the horses. Although horses are also spooked by the scent of camels.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Yeesh Yuki. It's only a giant monster obelisk of doooom.
"We're wondering if you've ever seen this logo before." Reinholdt says, going to show Helios the logo if Yuki lets him, or looking to Yuki to show it if that's necessary.
Edit: I don't know what Helios knows, but this doesn't feel like the same Reinholdt he once dealt with.Last edited by Reinholdt; 2013-02-06 at 08:33 PM.

Brinika's eyes narrow and her ears droop a little. Her suspicious expression is surprisingly adorable.
