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!

Still working on the apartments. Tony will be getting up to things with his avengers, Anita, and anyone else who gets dragged into his trouble. He is also going to be coming down with the Full Moon Fever
Will be racing through town as a dangerous werewolf tomorrow night and hopefully being distracted by Anita, Prongs and Padfoot If you would like to run into werewolf Remus or see him, let me know. The rest of the week he'll be unusually outspoken, even aggressive. He'll be quick to snap at people, verbally, and eating a concerning amount of chocolate. Where is he even getting it all?
Will be spending a lot of time with Anita and Raven both. Aside from this, he'll be looking out for other 'transplants' and continuing attempts to check on every one. (He'll also be asking
Is awake! And hopefully spending some time with Mary Margaret in between being
corralled by the Controlling handwatched by the concerned eyes of ReginaNo current plans for these 4, though I am open to any and all plotting suggestions/requests/ideas with any of my characters
no subject
I am up for all of the above, of course!
Date times!<3 Mary Margaret will certainly be spending time with Henry. Does she already know he's here, or will that be announced shortly so she can pounce on him?Also, I know I am behind on that rainforest post, but if I put one up tonight or in the morning and backdate it to last week, would you be interested in Connor and Billy bumping into each other?
no subject
Henry will be making a post either tonight or tomorrow! So she can find out then and say hello.

I will be putting up this post shortly! Sorry for the delay.
Buffy & Billy.
I totally dropped the ball on her posting and trying to get in touch with him. Though maybe if she/he posts they can recognize one another?
I'm open to anything else as well with any of yours.
no subject
We can handwave buffy and billy and have them recognize each other in their next posts. sounds good to me.
Steve and Tony is a thing I need. Tony can do what he did for Steve in the past and modify his phone to be easier for the retro avenger to use.
no subject
But that would be amazing. I always figured SHIELD gave him a phone and then tried to explain it to him and he was like, "Just give me a manual." And they were like, "It's on the phone."
They never got around to giving him a paper copy and he never got around to more than just answering it.
no subject
Though he imagines he'll get more grumbles from Steve while he cheekily grins at the 'over-sized' buttons. (He gave it easy-reading buttons at first because he thought it was funny. "This way you won't need your bifocals to read it, gramps.")
no subject
shitcrap out of it and come back with any questions he might still have. He just doesn't like it when people talk over his head or politely act like he's an idiot. So he might be a little wary at first, thinking Tony will definitely do the first, but once he relaxes I can see him picking it up. Nothing crazy advanced, but at least where he's capable of dealing with modern technology.LMAO. I seriously almost said he should put the big buttons on there. Also,
"These are medical bracelets. We all wear them, in case something happens. Safety first."
"You wear bracelets?"
"Yeah. What if you fall and you can't get up? It happens."
