Plotting With Siggy - MUST SEE.

[Asphyxia]

Okay… PLOTTING WITH SIGGY – The summarized version. For a complete, long-winded, and very amusing version, please contact ze Reika!

Torqueo:

Dhani is grappling with personal identity, and he’s having issues, so we decided Tehya and Mach need to notice that something is up with him. He will get sort of like a split personality, Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde situation. Which, as Siggy says would be ‘wonderful’(anybody noticed she likes to torment her characters? Poor Dhani). And to sum up what Siggy said, it’s easier to simply c/p what she wrote: “Just a constant build up of all the emotions he tries so hard to suppress all the time, I imagine. It will get to be too much for him and he'll snap. Kalkina will definitely be the catalyst to his madness, I think. She'll make him fear for his position in the pack, and since he's beginning to feel desperately attached to Torqueo as a place, it'll bring out the worst in him. Things he's denied all his life.” And that’s all she wrote, ladies and gentlemen, the end! Kidding. Onward! Tehya won’t know what to do about the split personality, so naturally, she’ll consult Mach, but those are minor details, darlings, minor details!

Tehya needs to become more bitchy and dark seeming, cause, let’s face it, as Siggy says, “everything’s been too nice and fluffy for too long.” Lol! So she’ll become more brutally honest and more outspoken. It’d be interesting to see how things that are supposed to develop with Dante, go, if her attitude gets a tweak, haha. Anyway, Mach’s manipulative, selfish bastard, ambitious side needs to surface, so he’s going to start trying to turn Tehya against some characters – particularly Dante if he sees things growing between Tehya and Mach and thinks Dante is trying to gain a position of power over himself. Mach would take issue with having to submit to a King he thinks is unworthy, but little does he know that Tehya has no intentions of putting anyone above Mach’s rank anyway, so drama! He would be paranoid and plot against Dante and if Tehya tried to reassure him, he’d freak out that Dante was turning her against him, bahahaha. And of course, because of her past issues with her and Belial running a pack together, she’d already have issues about going through that again, and she refuses to be in a vulnerable position again by having someone in power over her or equal to her – but of course, Mach doesn’t know this. Poor Dante, you’re being thrown in the terrible middle! – STARR FEEL FREE TO ADD INPUT!-

Clusterfuck of a pack, yes? Enjoy!

Anyway, Mach and Tehya would end up in a big fight about hwo Mach’s an idiot for thinking what he did and how he believes she failed with Belial, so what makes her think her and Dante could work and he points out MAYBE she is the problem and not the guys and she maims him – poor Mach getting hurt by everyone, rofl. And of course, Mach and Tehya will eventually sob, apologize, make up, and be bff’s again. And Tehya wouldn’t trust him as advisor anymore, so she’d suspend his rank and to try to prove himself worthy again, that’s when he’d end up in his fight with Jacome and end up seriously maimed(Tehya wouldn’t ever seriously injure a friend), and of course, because Tehya finds out Jacome attacked Mach, she’d go after Jacome and that’s the moment when she beheads Jacome.

So Jacome will soon(like asap) be stalking around Torqueo unnoticed until we move further forward with the plot.

CTHONIA:

Someone from Fly’s past is going to show up, and they’re going to have been stalking her til the storm hit and they went and hid in the caves(yes, the very ones they’re headed to currently) to wait out the storm. Nobody noticed cause, well, Virg admits to having families and wolves living on his lands outside of the pack itself and Courajess doesn’t notice cause Fly isn’t around him enough to have noticed anyway. Anywho. Her old pack had this “if you ditch us, we come after you” thing about them, so when Fly ditched, they sent someone after her. She finds said person in the caves after the hunt and she kills them. As she’s killing them, Cleitus catches her in the act, and immediately thinks the strange wolf was a newcomer and immediately goes after her for it, thinking he’s doing right by Virgil etc, and she’s covered in blood, and trying to explain but doesn’t know how to explain her past. And so Virgil shows up, sees them in a fight, and Cleitus starts spewing lies about Fly having attacked HIM, and tried to kill him as soon as she was done killing the other wolf cause he ‘tried to stop her’. So naturally, Virgil goes apeshit. So, because there’s a dead body, Fly is covered in blood, Virgil catches her and Cleitus fighting, he automatically assumes the worst of Fly and believes Cleitus. He goes after Fly, Courajess managed to pull Virgil back off of Fly, pulling Virgil away while he’s in a rage. Ave can like, take Cleitus away and deal with him and of course, Baby/Bryony would follow them cause she’d be concerned about her friend, Cleitus. Courajess would drag Virgil away to talk him back down from his rage and try to explain, without explaining, who the other wolf was, as Couajess recognized him and was in the past pack with Fly too.

Cleitus will obviously get jealous o Courajess taking Virgil off to talk, instead of Virgil staying with Cleitus. Virgil, will naturally, have to demand the story directly from Fly and the full explanation in order for her to stay in the pack – which of course, will be hard for her to explain. So after Courajess takes Virg off a bit to talk him back down, Fly would have disappeared into the storm in the frenzy of all the drama and when Virg is back to sanity, he’d wonder why Fly took off and wonder at her guilt after all and chase her off into the storm and naturally, Cleitus would want to follow.

And, for your entertainment!

Siggy: Oooh, yes. And he’d try to go after Virg as well, but Courajess would have to put a stop to that. And maybe they could have a manly talk together or something.

Rei: Rofl, yes! Like, “I know what you did, why did you lie Cleitus?! Why didn’t your dumbass wait for an explanation from her before accusing her and then throwing out lies?!”

Siggy: “BECAUSE I LOVE HIM, SOB SOB SOB”

Rei: and ‘jess, “AND I LOVE HER, SO STOP BEING A DOUCHE!”

Enjoy! Need anything explained, feel free to ask. It may seem a little… all over the place. The convo took place over msn and this is the messy convo summarized AND.. I’m tired – been up since 2am and it’s now 9am, lol!

AND… We need Em, Starr, Turkey, everybody to like jump in and add their characters and add stuff. We need DRAMA!

[Emmy]

Okay. First, because I keep meaning to ask about this, I know there's this supposed to be a huge site-wide plot of gods and avatars or something and, well, can you explain that to me? XD I need to know where my characters should fit into this world.

Second, use my characters, abuse them even. All of them. They're used to it. Lol. I wanna post. I want to plot. I want to role-play. I miss it. So just ... tell me to do something. ^^;

For the sake of the two packs being discussed right here though ... Avendesora, Kalkina, and Baldwin (who I've nearly completed a post for and who will go into Cthonia, as long as Harry hasn't destroyed everything when I get my computer back) are the ones I can throw at you right now. Since Baldwin hasn't been introduced yet, I'll just say he's gay, fell in love with two boys in the middle of a war, one is dead, the other is ruling the pack he's abandoned, so now he's just stuck. So have at 'im?

I like drama. Drama's fun.

Avendesora: I don't know how involved you want her to get in the plot. She's thus far tried to remain civilly ... outside of the on-goings until now, and she's going to slowly be trying to insert herself more fully into pack life. She hasn't been a "pack member" ... ever, so she's still trying to adjust. She was always the only "princess" and then she was the "queen". There's bitterness over not being in control, but that doesn't mean she wants to take control over anything but her own life now. She wants Fantasy and she wants Novus Vita and she wants her children. And they're all gone. She's going to have to face that. There. That's been said, we all know the story, and I'm going to move on ... Fly's history is drama-filled-fun. XD Lol. As for Ave's involvement in the fight, she can view herself as the new babysitter as she drags Cleitus away from the fray (how will his mood be then?) with Bryony close behind while Virg and Couragess deal with the trouble-maker. So ... when Fly runs, Virgil runs, and then Cleitus and Couragess have their manly talk, do you want Avendesora to chase after Fly and Virg, or ... what? And what will happen between Cleitus and Virg/everyone else once it comes out that he lied about Fly and what happened? How much trouble will he be in? You could excuse his misunderstanding, but then lying about it, lying about his own pack member, well ....

Kalkina: Just gotta say ... I love Dhani. Gotta feel for him, being waaay out of his depth pack-wise. Will he take his issues with Kalkina out on her? Since she's the whole ... catalyst to his madness (which, hey, awesome)? How will his Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde come out as? Kalkina, of course, wont know much of a difference between how he was and how he's going to be, but will she have enough of an inkling that something isn't right? I don't know what else you want me to do with her. XD She doesn't have enough of a past in Torqueo to have much influence. I'm all for creating more drama, so I'm up for anything.

I just have to add that she and Dhani should have a talk about their religious backgrounds, because I think it would be funny to see how Dhani would react to Kalkina's past where her priests sacrificed their victims, skinned them, and used both their bones and intestines to determine the future, all while praying to demon-gods and the like for guidance. I don't think Dhani would approve.

And that's about all I've got. MoJo are still babies with their only trauma being that their parents were killed by a bear. Which, on the scale of everyone else, barely registers. XD Plus ... they're really too small to do anything.

So ... tada?

[Sighani]

ONE. I've been meaning to talk to Rei about the site-wide plot. We need to decide if we want to go ahead with it or do something different (since people who are involved with it keep disappearing). Soooo until we figure the specific stuff out, I really can't explain much, sorry Em. :/ When we talk about it I will definitely let you know, though. All I can definitively say is that the original intention was to have a war between Cthonia and Torqueo that could only be resolved by the intervention of three characters who were the avatars of benevolent rogue gods who, unlike the other deities, sought to save Requiem, rather than destroy it. But like I said, we need to talk it through again and sort everything out before we set anything in stone.

TWO. I'll have to see Baldwin's post before I figure out what my characters can do with him, lol. I'm not sure what he's like yet so I can't say if he'd be the type to attract Virg's attention or Cleitus'. Virg is mainly nice and welcoming to everyone, tbh, but Cleitus is not nearly so all-encompassing in his affections. I can say, however, that Virg is attracted to beauty in any guise, and Cleitus latches on to father figures and/or anyone who offers him praise--he's insecure as all hell and hides it behind a mask of arrogance and vanity, and he clings to people who can recognize that fault in him. So if Baldwin is the perceptive sort who can overlook asshole-ish pretenses, he might have Cleitus sort of lurking about after him. And if that's the case, Baldwin might have some sort of confrontation with the ghosts of his past or something--maybe Cleitus will remind him of someone he loved and lost/couldn't have and so he'll want to keep his distance, idk idk. I know almost nothing about this character and I really don't want to make presumptions, sorry!! I would just like for Cleitus to have a connection with someone that ISN'T Virgil--and since he hates Fly and is jealous of Courajess and Baby is too young, that really only leaves Ave and Baldwin.

THREE. SPEAKING OF AVE. Cleitus' mood after Courajess drags Virgil off to talk will definitely be one that's caught between the sadistic triumph of successfully framing Fly and the seething jealousy he'll experience when COURAJESS is the one who gets to be with Virgil, and not him. So he'll basically just be a mess of nasty emotions. He might put on a show about how Fly's attack was completely uncalled for and how innocent he is in everything ("I told Virgil from the start she was no good, she's always had it out for me and I've never done anything to her, how long will it be until she turns on the rest of you, etc etc"), but I wager Ave's been around long enough to see through that bullshit. Depending on whether you'd prefer Ave to like or dislike Cleitus, she could either rip him a new one when she finds out he lied or... urge him to confess before things get any worse, I guess?? To answer another question, Virgil will be BROKEN when he finds out Cleitus has lied. Virgil rescued Cleitus from a very dark, barbaric sort of tribe when he was young, and everyone told him that there was something bad in Cleitus' blood, that he couldn't be rehabilitated, things like that, and Virgil has spent the last two years of his life trying to prove them all wrong by raising Cleitus to the best of his ability. So when he finds out that all his efforts to shape him into a perfect angel have been for naught, it'll destroy him. He'll probably think things like, "They were right all along, there's something bad in Cleitus and it just can't be fixed, I almost killed Fly all for the sake of his lies, I was a fool to even believe I could help him." His trust in Cleitus will be completely shattered. So in a nutshell, Cleitus will be in a lot of trouble. He won't be afforded any special treatment just because he's Virgil's sole heir.

As for what Ave does AFTER Fly and Virgil run off and Courajess intercepts Cleitus, I was thinking Ave could be involved in the manly talk that follows. Since Courajess is in love with Fly, Virgil wouldn't believe him if he said that Fly was innocent--he'd just think Jess was trying to protect her. So he'd need an unbiased person to tell him that Cleitus confessed to lying about the fight, which would be Ave. So in the course of the conversation that would follow after Virg and Fly run out, Cleitus will break down and admit to everything. Ave and Courajess could maybe decide that it would be up to Ave to report everything to Virgil when he returns. Or maybe Ave could chase after them--if she gets there in time, she might be able to stop a fight between Virg and Fly or something, at which point she'd tell Virg what Cleitus said, and could either return with Virg to the caves to deal with the inevitable meltdown or she could stick around with Fly.

FOUR. KALKINA/DHANI. Even though Dhani will regard Kalkina as his competition, I think he'd definitely keep his animosity to himself, at least at first. He's under the belief that Torqueo is sort of a living thing that's taking a hold of him and poisoning his mind, and so his decent into this insanity will be slow, but steady--and for a while his overpoweringly good nature will definitely win out. He's prone to blackouts and fits, however, and I think all his bad feelings will manifest themselves in that way. He'll black out and his animal nature will take over, leaving him with nothing but basic instinct, and all he'll want to do is defend his home against threats and eliminate his competitors. I think he'd be sneaky about it at first. His combat skills are finely honed, but he'd rather not risk a physical confrontation if he could help it, since he knows Kalkina was a soldier and could overpower him if she caught him. He has a very extensive knowledge of plantlife and was also a keeper of the flame back at the monastery, so he knows how to poison people and he has no fear of fire and knows how to handle it. Before Dhani loses himself too much, though, I definitely agree that they should have a discussion about their respective religions. xD He'll be both horrified and intrigued to discover that anyone's even capable of such acts of violence, particularly in the name of faith.

FIVE. I don't know if you have plans for Kalkina apart from that, so I don't know how Mach will react to her. Mach thinks he's better than everyone so unless she tries to make a name for herself, he probably won't pay her much attention. >>; But oooooooh, if Mach finds out about her past, he might notice her a little more. He used to have witch hunts back in the day and Kalkina is probably the sort of person he'd have targeted and eviscerated. He's moved on from that stage in his life, of course, so she's not in any dangers from him, but he hasn't told anyone about it so it might drag some skeletons out of his closet. It might interest the other wolves to know that their second-in-command used to be a king who slaughtered his own subjects to keep them worshiping him instead of any higher powers...

That's all I can think of for now.

[Starrlight]

Okie dokie, you guys have been busy!

My first point is Tuatha.
- As far as it goes, I'm assuming we are going to keep derpin around in the background. If you guys have any ideas of how to tie it in with the drama, let me know, because at the moment I am coming up blank. Nu isn't the type to really jump in on another pack's business, unless someone comes on their lands looking for trouble. We can always figure something out in the future also keep it as kind of a backburner, side-plot pack until the real hell breaks loose. After all, it is neutral.

Characters
- Tynan: He's not really even in the pack yet, but I do want to keep him in Cthonia. The question is where he would come in. He's only really talked to Fly so far, so use him wherever you please. I am unsure how he'd stand in the plot you have. Might have to wait and see, it's been so long since I've written for him!

-Dante: Everything you guys are saying sounds good! Haha he's going to be dragging his feet through all of this drama. Dante does not like getting worked up unless absolutely necessary because of his control issues. If Mach pushes him too far, though, he may just break.

I really want to bring Mel and Daes into this too at some point. I will have to see when that is, probably when I am sure I have time. I think it's funny that Dante and Fly come from similar backgrounds... Daes will be going after Dante so that he can claim heir when he returns home, and Mel will be helping (to her own ends, of course). I'm not sure where I would put them yet, or how long they would stick around, but we will see. My own plots are wide open, so if anyone has a preference or changes, let me know.

Tarin I want to possibly bring back also. I don't know though... not sure what purpose she would serve besides ticking Tehya off again ;D

I don't have much. Guide me, oh fearless leaders XD my fate is in your hands haha!

[Taboo]

-claps hands- I'm so happy to see that the majority of people originally involved are resurfacing! Anyways, my characters:

Dorian: I'm completely scratching him out. I've somehow always failed at making well-behaved characters and have no muse for him.

Ix-Chel: Aww, I still love this feisty little vixen! She's very unstable. Unfortunately, I wish I had posted her history, because I can't recall it XD But, she's bordering masochism and is constantly pushing herself to be fixated on the adrenaline rush. She lacks empathy and the ability to interact well with others, though I think if someone pursued breaking down her walls, it'd certainly be possible. Right now, she's just chilling at Terra of Silicis with Rythen. I'm thinking of having her investigate Tuatha later on. If anyone wants to dart characters at her when she goes exploring the pack, let me know.

Xbalanque: I really don't know how to describe him unless I'm posting. Basically, he believes that people allow their weaknesses and fears to maim them. He sees them as revolting and ugly, and he is the designated advocate for their metamorphosis. He's very perceptive and extremely good at gaining trust so that wolves confide their fears to him. Then, he forces them to endure their fears and it either destroys them or makes them strong and invulnerable [very rare]. He doesn't do this to everyone, just those he thinks are decent candidates. Amadi is his right-hand man at the moment, an agent of chaos willing to see the devastation he wreaks, though for a different reason entirely. I want other people to interact with them eventually. If no one volunteers, I might bring them to Torqeuo to stir up trouble. Then, they're going to be along the borders of Cthonia where they meet Cleitus and think of what could happen there!

Taboo: She is in a horrible state. Not just physically, but also living in a state of trauma. It'll take some time for her to recover fully. For the time being, she's going to be extremely mistrusting and will watch everyone with extreme scrutiny. Her wounds would heal pretty quickly, since she's already had some recovery rate [her back legs will take the longest], it's just her paranoia and night terrors that will need to simmer down before she's completely back in the game. BUT, I don't want her to be useless. If people are willing to interact with her until she's up on her feet again, I would love it.

Taboo/Jacome: She's going to be very suspicious of Jacome, but feel it's not her place since he rescued her and because Mach wants Tehya to give him a chance.

Taboo/Kalkina:I think she'd be both fascinated and repulsed by Kalkina's past since it's basically a repeat of her own cult heritage, but she still has a fascination with death and dark things. As long as Kalkina didn't attempt to practice those rituals, she'd eventually relax.

Taboo/Dhani: She's now neutral with Dhani. Although she's a bit proud to apologize for her judgment, I think she'll try to befriend him and realize what he's going through. Since Taboo also has her own repressed inner demon, she'll try to help him understand the problem.

Taboo/Dante: He is still very much a mystery to her, and she loves mysteries. She'll at least want to get to know him on a friend level

Taboo/Tehya: She is already very much attached to the Alphess. Although she still has doubts keeping her in check of where her loyalty goes to, she realizes she's nothing like her mother. The need for a female relationship makes her tenacious and dedicated towards Tehya.

[obnoxiousturkey]

Hey guys,

Well my eyes hurt after reading that, but so glad so many of us are here at once again! Oh I feel the tears welling up and a tickle in my chest. Might be all the reading and very sour orange I just ate... But I am SUPER happy/excited/and DRAMATIC. Emphasis on the dramatic because I see thats our goal. DRAMA. ^.-

So I have Belial... obviously... and I will do his little part in the Tehya/Jacome thing. Then, well he will go wherever there is DRAMA lacking I guess. I also would like to start playing another charrie, preferably a darker one as I like to keep a good balance so I dont get bored with posting. Probably can only commit to two right now though... No idea what I will do with the second right now, but I'll think on it.

SO if anyone needs me somewhere... uhhh.. just point. XD I only know a few of these characters and I have to admit I recognise others names but memories are a little hazy... been a busy year. Would love to starting posting again though, its such a nice escape and relaxing somehow. XD

Turkey out... (have wanted to say that for SO long)

[Starrlight]

Taboo, I'd love to have Dante and her interact more as friends. He will probably be one of the ones to try and help her. The way it sounds, with the night terrors and the paranoia, she is in the same state that Dante's beloved sister was in much of the time. I think she's going to remind him of that and he's gonna kinda get a little brotherly on her XD If that sounds good to you.

Belial could come to Tuatha!!!! Maybe... it needs some drama sometime. Nu and Kaelyn don't have any sort of past ghosts to dredge up so I'm counting on site drama overflowing to them. =]
