Weeks 3 and 4
As your mods, we want to make sure everyone is equally able to keep up to speed with the game, upcoming plots, plotting and everything that is going on! So, ALC will have bi-weekly plotting posts that give everyone a bit of an idea of what to expect, a place to plan out CR interactions or plot with one another, a way to find some NPC CR if you want it and an idea of what is going on around the island.
This is our very first one of those posts so it is going to have a bit more information in it than they generally will. I will try to make sure these go up every other weekend. If people have input on when the best day for it is, let me know. Fridays so you get the whole weekend to plan is my idea for the moment. So, here we go!
Atlantis Week 3&4
The wave of new Transplants is settling down, with the NPCs still keeping an eye on them. Hull will be spending most of his time around the Town Centre and can be approached by anyone.
As the sun sets on Sunday, the second sun will be noticeably missing, the sky will darken with the sun set and a full moon will rise. During Week 3 the Southern Shore will be flooded. New arrivals will find themselves washed up in the streets of Gaia, near the Town Centre. Atlanteans will be restless and snappy, small domestic disputes will be common around the city, along with small acts of vandalism. Most Atlantean city dwellers will be apologetic after the week ends.
The following week will be perfect weather, beautiful and sunny through the entire week. Hull will post a network notice that the Atlantean Fisher Fleet is recruiting. Your characters are welcome to try for the job. They'll take any willing hand and find a job for them.
Full Moon Fever
Week 3 (Feb 3-10)
There have long been legends of the full moon driving people mad. Crime rates spike, domestic violence breaks out, some even claim it causes men to howl and shed their skins to join the wild beasts. While the legends can range into the absurd, there is always some truth to the myths, and never is it more obvious than now. A noticeably large, bright full moon will rise on Sunday. Even with the cloudy skies the moon's luminous reflection is visible. With the moon's unnaturally bright light, a sickness will spread, notable at first only as a mild fever. However, as the fever rises, people's inner beasts will shine through. Repressed urges get pushed forward, primal instincts and desires come to the forefront. All around the island tempers run short, unexpectedly powerful emotions are acted upon. Or maybe you just have the urge to stuff your face with food and drink too much. However the moon's rays affect you, the fever will be gone by the time the second full moon sets on Saturday.
People aren't the only thing the moon is affecting this week. Sunday, waters will rise. The southern shore will flood, boats untied to the docks may float out to sea, and the lower portion of Gaia will be flooded. The waters will be slow to recede from the city, lingering until the end of Week 3. By Sunday afternoon (the start of Week 4) the water will have returned to its normal depths.

Player plot!
Week 3 | Feb 12-15
During Week 4, the Marauding Magic Shop will be attempting to spread some Valentine spirit through the island. Enchanted love letters, magical roses and a variety of other 'mostly harmless' spells will begin to find their way across the island. Another post will go up for this from the players behind the plot next weekend. Safe to say, though, that love will be quite literally, in the air.
Week 3:
Slightly cloudy and cool
The temperature will be in the 60-65F ~15-18C range
The night sky will feature: Unfamiliar star patterns.
When the 'normal' Sunday sun sets, a full moon will rise instead of the second sun
The moon will wane at a rapid rate from Sunday to Wednesday.
No moon on Thursday and Friday, and another full moon on Saturday
Week 4:
Sunny and pleasant
The temperature will be in the 65-75F ~ 18-24C range
The night sky will feature: Earth skies
Southern Hemisphere Star patterns and normal lunar waning cycle (Waning down from Saturday's full moon.)
Each time this thread goes up it will have a series of sub threads for plotting purposes!

Christine's Army
Anita is in everyone's business, as per usual. She has her apartment reasonably well settled and will be getting into shouting matches with Tony through her ceiling/scolding him about his music being too loud. She will also be assisting with keeping Remus under control while he runs rampant, and it looks like she may be occupied around Valentine's Day! :3 She's still available to talk to or assist anyone who needs help settling in or needs a rundown of what this place is as they arrive, and still looking into making sure everyone has what they need.
Getting to know Little Loki and still looking for Big Loki! He's searching pretty tirelessly, but he will be making himself available to Tony for any assistance he might need on getting Avengers things set up. Yeah. Like this is the guy you want helping with your tech stuff. When he is not so focused on searching for his brother, I would love for him and Merida to go exploring, too.
Likely dividing her time between assisting Charles with whatever he needs and getting their house settled, as well as spending time with Sam -- who will be receiving some awkwardly forward attentions during the full moon event.
No concrete plans, but I am thinking of having him just run totally loose and go back to his really early jungle-boy routine (as in, end of season 3), running around in the rainforest or other places outside the city and claiming "trophies" from the things he hunts.
She will most certainly be spending time with Henry
and butting heads with Regina!Also, she's keeping an eye on you, Killian Jones.Severus needs more contact with the present Marauders and other HP cast, but otherwise has no plans. I would like to throw him at Merlin when I get a chance, as well -- but mostly, he's been holed up and keeping to himself, monitoring the network, frequenting the libraries and learning whatever he can about this place.
Irritated with everything and starting to feel a little run-down. Uh-oh. I might have her do something sinister during the full moon event, but currently undecided!
As usual, if anyone wants to do anything with my kids, let me know! I am open to just about everything. :3

CONNOR
WHAT WHAT WHAT ARE YOU DOING
LOOK AT YOUR LIFE
LOOK AT YOUR CHOICES.
Aka Alisha will be freaking the fuck out over him. It'll be interesting to see how his feral child side will test their friendship. :>
And yes. All the exploring. All of it. Once Merida gets her weapons, she's gonna go climbing shit and searching the caves (probably not too deeply) and carving markings into trees so she knows where she's been... and of course, riding through the glen, firing arrows into the sunset. Thor is free to join her at any time, during any adventure.

MERIDA, your agenda is amazing.

Connor, please keep your dead animals outside the house.BEST AGENDA. EVER.

More Anita and Buffy interaction?
Steve will help in Thor's search for Loki if he'll let him. He doesn't like the idea of him on the island without them knowing about it. Darcy is trying to be supportive and not get all in his business, but I feel like she's beginning to worry about him.
Connor and Buffy interaction sometime?
Sev and Ron eventually. (I swear I am getting him here.)
Darla and Buffy snarking. (Also, will be tagging that soon. <3)
Did I miss anything?
