Weeks 9-12

[artificial_intelligence]

Welcome to Fishing Season!

With the fishing season upon Atlantis at last, the city is going to be bursting with activity, both at the docks and the city center itself. For the next four weeks the ocean will be full of ships of all shapes and sizes out trying to make the most of the flood of fish filling the bay. Atlantean's have the next two weeks off for 'Spring Break' when it comes to school, and all the young Atlantean's will be making use of the time to fill the beach. The youngest children flying kites (shaped like various legendary Atlantean beasts) with their parents or building sand castles and playing Sand Leviathan, while older kids and teens will be out enjoying the warm bay waters and playing beach sports of various types. It's an active and productive time for Atlantean adults who fill their time stocking the markets, handling at the docks and offering their animals for help with fish carts. The city roads will be busy, with carts pulled by everything from island horses and goats to chocobos and hogs.

The weather is fantastic and everyone seems overall very happy, if a bit hectic. There will be plenty of jobs around for anyone looking to work, and the more venturesome individuals will find this is SPECTACULAR trading time. In addition to fish, some of the larger docking boats will be unloading crates full of fabrics and raw materials. If asked where they got them, most captains will shrug or claim to have fished them from the sea. It is difficult to guess at their origins and no one is very forthcoming with information.

Atlantean's do not celebrate April Fool's, so the month of April holds little significance to them beyond being spring time and the celebration of Gaia. Still... there may be some chaos in store for the future...

Atlantis Weeks 9-12

As far as plots go, the next few weeks have some pretty heavy NPC plot going on that will show up throughout the weeks. Look for a lot of activity from the Atlantean's themselves. A Beach and Docks log will go up at the start of Week 9, and a Market log between weeks 9 and 10 as well as several NPC posts related to the plot. Interacting with the NPC posts is highly encouraged as it will help determine how and where things go the next few weeks, but is not required!

Week 12 is especially relevant to our growing cast of werewolves, as well as to any star-gazers or astronomers.

Gabriel's Fools
Atlantean's may not celebrate April fools, but a certain trickster does. Week 11 is going to be full of pranks becoming real, chaotic weather, crazy shenanigans and a moon that appears to be made out of cheese. Is it really? Who can say?

Look for more information on this plot to come around the end of Week 10. Details are still in process

Week 9: 
3/17 - 3/23
Warm Spring Weather and Sunny skies with fair winds
The temperature will be in the 77-86F ~ 25-30C range
The night sky will feature:

An orange-red tinged moon and Earth constellations (Spring, Western Hemisphere - Equatorial)
Full moon on Wednesday

Week 10: 
3/24 - 3/30
Warm Spring Weather and Sunny skies with strong winds
The temperature will be in the 80-86F ~ 26.5-35C range
The night sky will feature:

An orange-red tinged moon and Earth constellations (Spring, Western Hemisphere - Equatorial)

Week 11:
3/31 - 4/6
Weather - ??? 
The temperature will be in the ??F ~ ??C range
The night sky will feature: ???

Sunday Cheese Moon is not a Full moon.

Week 12:
4/7 - 4/13
Warm Spring Weather and Sunny skies with fair winds
The temperature will be in the 77-86F ~ 25-30C range
The night sky will feature:

Four moons, with two in the sky Sun-Tuesday and a different two Wed-Friday. Just one moon on Saturday
As far as our werewolves are concerned this entire week is full of full moons with varying effects. The smallest moon Sunday-Tuesday being farthest away and 'weak' while the small orange moon the remaining four days will act as a sort of 'catnip for wolves'. Happy-high werewolves will be acting like over-grown puppies. The sky will be full of many very bright stars.

Exploration

Planning on exploring the island? There's plenty of see in the ocean, the rainforest, the mountains, even the city and below it. Give us a heads up and we'll help you know what to expect.

OOC Plotting

Re: OOC Plotting

[iamagod]

Guess who else celebrates April Fools? That Gabriel is noting but an imposter anyway.

Actually, he has no idea what April Fools is, but explained to him that it's trickster day and I'm sure he'll be happy to come out and prank.

[badnewsboy]

DOES BIT LOKI HAVE A PHONE

DEPENDING ON IF HE DOES

THE LITTLE ONE MIGHT FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET HIS PHONE NUMBER

GONNA SEND YOU RIDICULOUS TEXT MESSAGES

also important ones.

[badnewsboy]

also depending on how that log goes.

[deemedworthy]

Brothor will be making an attempt to intervene. :|

[ghost_boy]

I'm going to hit you up for CR one of these days when you least expect it. Fair warning.

[ladykingair]

Okay, so I've got lady a werewolf Alpha here who really needs to meet some other werewolves >.> I know there's a ton in this game. Someone hit me up? :) Could be good, could be bad, could just be funny. She's usually out in the woods being wolfish or dozy, but she's available for whatever, too.

Also I have a certain texanaeronaut by the name of Lee Scoresby who is settling in and will likely wind up taking a job helping out with animals somewhere >.> Anybody else doing that who he could be friends with?

[bloodwarning]

So.

I don't have specific plotting ideas for anyone so I can just throw any of my billion people wherever if anyone wants them anywhere. For references, have a giant list:

Sam Winchester | exbloodjunkie
Erica Reyes | bloodwarning
Jackson Whittemore | douchescarf
Sheriff Stilinski | proudofyou
Grace | gracefulpaige
Prussia | kantstoppfantstopp
TJ Hammond | decemberincident
Jack Benjamin | thepartyprince
Killian Jones | massdewifing
David Nolan | iwillalwaysfindyou
Dirk Strider | givesyouaboner
Jean-Pierre Descouteaux | diagnosingyou
Elisabeth Clements | herpetophobic

Most of them will be enjoying the nice weather and spring break. I expect plenty of bad life decisions. Erica and Jackson are both werewolves, so they'll be affected by the moon shenanigans. Jackson technically hasn't experienced a full moon as a werewolf, so this'll be interesting, I'm sure.

Sheriff Stilinski needs to find out about the werewolves at some point and I would like Sam to meet them so he can keep an eye out on them. C'mon guys, he's the only hunter who just immediately shoot, save for Anita. You need this.

[hypercompetent]

So I've got Stiles (hypercompetent), Bran/Hodor (climbed hodors) and Portugal (lusitania). The one who's going to be most affected by this is Stiles seeing as how he kind of spends 90% of his company with werewolves.

he is just going to make his icon face at his life for the rest of forever

[iswimprettygirl]

Alisha Bailey will hopefully be opening the bar during week nine, maybe a bit before (it depends on how much gets done in her current post), so stop on by if you're feeling thirsty, in need of aesthetically-pleasing company, or want a job there! Just don't shake hands with her.

Merida will definitely be all over this spring break business; not that she's enrolled anywhere, but the energy throughout the place will be new to her. After all, there isn't exactly a spring break back on the Highlands. She might even go fishing herself to trade for a kite or maybe even an animal if she's feeling adventurous. Regardless, she'll probably be hanging around the city a bit more than usual.

Milo is currently freaking out internally about how he woke up on another Atlantis, so my guess is that he'll still be trying to look into "how" over the course of the next month. And, yanno, studying the culture of the new place, maybe seeing if there's a unique, native written/spoken language for him to learn, all while slowly settling in.

[bowsbeforehoes]

logs out of the wrong account

Clint bowsbeforehoes: probably going to be doing shenanigans with Tony. At some point, the boys were going to go up into the mountains and look for dinosaurs. THIS IS STILL A THING, RIGHT? Thor was coming too, and so was Bruce, because Bruce is their babysitter.

James invisishield: Still has no idea what's going on. I'm assuming he's living with HIS Tony, and he's kind of freaking out about his parents being alive. But he also wants to check out the beach.

Annabeth unwearying: Annabeth has been researching her pretty little heart out. She's trying to figure out what's going on, and how the island became lost in the first place. If it deals with gods, she will find it out.

Chris followthecode: THIS FULL MOON SHIT DOES NOT MAKE HIM HAPPY OKAY.

Tifa finalheaven: Probably figuring out what to do! She's going to see about settling herself down and seeing what she can do to help out.

[animator]

Anita Blake | animator
Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter
Anita will hopefully be getting to know Derek and his pack a little bit this month. Also going on cute dates with Charles, which she is unsure about because she thinks he's probably too nice for her. Currently nurturing a hunter bromance with Sam Winchester and Buffy Summers.

Connor | waywardboy
Angel: the Series
Apparently his evil dad just showed up. Welp. Aside from bouncing at Alisha's bar, he'll be having a mental breakdown pretty soon.

Darla | dearone
Angel: the Series
Angelus just showed up, so screw going to Hull to get herself cured. She's going to try to get her dear boy to re-make her.

Emma Swan | cursebreaking
Once Upon a Time
Just moved into a house with Henry and David, so the Charming family is getting along swimmingly, except for the part where her kid and Jefferson's kid got lost together in the woods. Also, she cannot handle all of these people who look like Jefferson.

Graverobber | tostealandrob
Repo! the Genetic Opera
He just got here, but it's safe to say that he's going to be simultaneously watching Shilo like a hawk while looking for a niche to fill.

Jo Harvelle | lightgunhustler
Supernatural
Has begrudgingly accepted that she's going to be staying with her mother. I'm hoping to have her look into getting a job at Alisha's bar later on. Still constantly trying to get Dean to notice her, and because of her early canon point, her hunting skills are pretty basic (great with intel, needs experience in execution), so I would love to get her to work on that. I would also love for her to meet Castiel, since she knows nothing about any of the angels at this point in time.

Raven Xavier | metamorphosing
X-Men: First Class
Unofficial welcome wagon and barista, these days, but she'll be looking to help her brother shepherd anyone with mutant abilities in the near future, I believe. Also, all of the girl-time bonding with Alisha and Elisabeth (and maybe Buffy?). Apparently, if the antichrist arrives, she and Sam are adopting him, because where else are you going to put him?

Severus Snape | masterofpotions
Harry Potter
Snape will be opening an apothecary sometime this month. Otherwise, he needs things to do other than be sour at Marauders.

Thor Odinson | deemedworthy
Marvel Cinematic Universe
Still pining for big Loki but giving him his space, so the search has been called off for the time being. Usually keeping an eye on little Loki and Darcy these days, but I would love for he and his brother to have an encounter in the coming weeks. Also, he needs to meet Gabriel, because Thor needs all of the Lokis in his life.


Not Yet Intro'd:
Alex McKiernan | OC
Jaime Lannister | A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones
Lydia Martin | Teen Wolf

JUST LITTLE LOKI HERE

[badnewsboy]

mostly he's been running around as he always has, having tiny loki adventures. he recently ran into his big self and gabriel is taking him out to a buffet to try to get info about the big loki out of him. what he's going to tell him is still up in the air. still loki after all. he's also making friends with arya and bran. score. MAKING FRIENDS, WHO WANTS TO MAKE FRIENDS?

Joke's on him, but I guess he arrives during April Fools.

Meet morally ambiguous lawyer, guys.

Lindsey McDonald (hellsbestlawyer)

He'll have only one hand and have a major hate on for the world.

Forest

[theusualsuspect]

Dean Winchester theusualsuspect
Is rooming with Cas and gonna work on fixing stuff up with his brother (Or trying to) Still want to do shit with Jo at the festival and avoid telling anyone about them dying. It's not happening again, god damn it.

Jefferson mightlosemyhead
After his search for Henry and Grace in the forest that will have happened in the past some time in the near future, Jefferson will likely be keeping a close eye on her. He did cave and give her a bunny instead of grounding her.

Bucky Barnes winterhowl
Just spending all his time with Steve and Peggy or trying to get the hang of the network. He's considering exploring the docks and trying to get a better look at what's on those boats.

Dave Strider dropsitlikeitshot
Just got canon updated to the newest updates and is slowly learning to deal with his shit and also considering dropping Dirk an eventual 'sup.

Merlin pendragonlord
Is getting thrown at his dad as soon as my brain resumes function and then I'll figure out what else to do with him

Isaac Lahey gravedecisions
Werewoof shenanigans. Also getting caught in a dino scuffle and possible running into hunters. Helping Derek on the full moon if he needs help with Jackson. Isaac will be all too happy to help rough him up restrain him.

Adam Greenberg herpetologist
Got a house with his girlfriend until she kicks him out again.

Tristan Keis & Note lostmykeys & lostmykeis
Enrolled in school just in time to find out they're getting a 2 week break. Score. Exploring the island with Note.

Fuck man, how am I considering more when I have 8.5 characters already? Fuck you guys and your game.

I SEE YOU IN THIS PLOT GABRIEL. WHAT THE FUCK MAN.

[upstartcrow]

rabbunctious Seb won't be up to much, probably--getting used to his body and maybe, closer to April, gathering up some pretty things for a present for somebunny special.

upstartcrow THIS guy, on the other hand, I don't plan on introing quite yet (but, y'know, best-laid plans and all that). His kid should probably get a chance to get in before him and get settled. He'd probably have a lot to say about that cheese moon, though. Hot dang. It's making me hungry.

a la KATANA

[going_ghost]

Hello! :D It's me aka that person who works too much and still loves to RP anyway. Here's what my guys are up to:

Castiel | fallen_angel
Is moping over feeling human now rooming with Dean Winchester (bet you feel privileged, don't you, Dean). I still intend to backtag him into the festival. I'd like for him to meet a whole assortment of folks, and am trying to work on that, including, but not limited to, his other castmates. Obviously, though, I want ~things~ with the Winchesters. All the things... :|

Danny Fenton/Phantom | ghost_boy|going_ghost
Still needs to be introduced. Hoping to get to that soon. If anyone wants to plot with him, please don't be shy. I know I'd like for him to meet the many kids around the island, but adults too! I think Pitch Black would make for fun CR, as would anyone who doesn't like ghosts. He doesn't have to be a ghost when you meet him since he is a human teenager who can turn into a ghost (he's cool like that). I am up for anything. :3

Bolt | dogface
Also needs to be introduced. I have to finalize something with Hull but he should be in soon, too. Again, don't be shy if you want to throw around plot ideas with me. I would love that! Everyone, just so you know, you have permission to pet the cute dog. If someone would like to give him a home at some point, that's totally a possibility I'm willing to discuss.

Plot with me?

[allthezpms]

OK SO, I admit I have been terribly fail at this game and I'm hoping to change that with this plotting cycle!

Kaylee hot4engines will be going nuts at the prospect of having actual vehicles and ships to repair, she will be happy as a little clam.

Castle thebestseller has not been out much; I am open to any ideas, honestly.

Rodney allthezpms will likely be bowing to the inevitable and getting a teaching job soon.

Al sonofgold will be getting a job as a barista, methinks. He's very sociable and it'll be a good way to meet people and casually learn more about this place's technology. He is human now, but I might turn him into armor!Al at a later point. Or shelve him til I have time to canon review, as I'm still shaky.

Gato, always late to the party

[kingofnightmares]

GUESS WHO HAS TWO THUMBS AND FAILS EPICALLY? This person.

Anyways, I'm up for plots with Pitch Black here. The game I'm currently in with this guy has a big event going on, plus I have school kicking my butt. HOWEVER, I can tag a little here or there. Pitch has just been exploring the shadows of the island and so on lately. Because he's a hermit. :|

I'M TOTALLY UP FOR ANYTHING. Seriously.

laaaaaate

[gonepagan]

Gabriel | gonepagan ; He is obviously going to be having a lot of fun come the beginning of April. If you have any ideas you'd like me to try and incorporate please let me know! Also I'm going to keep pimping this post for individual pranking shenanigans.

Shirahoshi | bigbaby ; Not yet in game, but she will be shortly! The tides are bringing in more than just fish this time around. Canonically she's nearly 56' long, but she'll be shrunk down to 30' or so while she's here to make things a bit more manageable. HAVE FUN WITH THE GIANT MERMAID, GUYS.
