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!

Alisha and Merida
Once she has her weapons (and possibly a horse? If not, she'll hoof it), she'll be taking to exploring everything. Well, everything that she can that won't put her completely out of her comfort zone. She'll probably keep away from going too deep into the caves, but everything else is fair game.
That being said, once the full moon fever takes affect, her temper will shorten and she'll probably throw around her weapons a lot more than she would normally. She especially won't take kindly to people ignoring her words (that's a wound that hasn't been healed due to her canon-point), and as a result, might throw a few tantrums. With her sword. Essentially, she'll be a little ball of fire with all these feels that she's not entirely sure where to direct. She'll be apologetic on Saturday, though; she doesn't want to create bad blood between herself and anyone else.
As for Alisha, she'll probably regain her title as Queen Bitch. The grief, frustration, and loneliness from her purposeful physical isolation will bubble up... especially when she'll probably be feeling urges and longings not completely unlike what she felt in her previous, promiscuous, pre-power lifestyle. She'll also be stressed and worried and who knows what else over Connor. Long story short, she will not be pleasant by any means. I wouldn't mind her venturing out after him to stop his hunting, though that might end badly for her ICly (but should be fabulous OOCly). After the fever ends, she'll put her energy into opening up a bar. WHO ALL WANTS BOOZE
I'm up for just about anything as far as the Valentines thing goes, but the IC consequences will probably be more on the negative side (not that I mind! The "bad/awkward/possibly funny stuff" is always fun to play out).

My guys are available if you need/want them. I've got Steve Rogers, Buffy Summers, Darcy Lewis and Ron Weasley.

Oooo Steve and Darcy and Rooon. They sound nothing short of fabulous.
Redheads unite?Though I'm not terribly familiar with Buffy (I was one of those loser kids in the 90s, I guess), I'm sure I'd have fun bouncing people around with her. :)
no subject
lmao. I never had the channel with Buffy. I found her right when her show was going off the air. Looking forward to playing with you.
no subject
Aaaah. I hear nothing but good stuff about the Buffyverse, but alas, I have the attention span of a fruit fly; it's hard for me to sit down and watch large series. /pets my short movies and shorter canons
I look forward to playing with you as well!
