[ Plotting ] Ghosts of Christmas

So, as discussed in email, we'll be running a ghost event for Christmas-ish time. The in-game dates will be Dec. 21 to Dec. 28, but you may play any posts or threads as long as you need to in order to complete them.

Please make sure to use the event tag for anything you post, whether during the event or as a log/linkdrop after the event. It will be # inn-world: ghosts of winter.

As a reminder, these are the features of the plot:

* very loosely based on A Christmas Carol's ghosts
* anyone, dead or alive, can visit you at the Inn in ghost form and can take you on a visit to the present, past or future
* one ghost, per character, at a time; if they leave, another can come
* they can interact with you and anyone else you/they want to interact with
* ghosts do not have the powers/abilities of their living selves and cannot affect the reality of the Inn except through characters
* if you have a cool idea for something not mentioned here, it's probably fine. just run it by the mods if it's going to impact other players/characters

* Opt out: no one has to participate; the Shrine and individual rooms as desired will be ghost-free locations

* Mod-involvement: None, except as noted.

Please use the comments to ask questions, plot with fellow players, offer yourself to sock ghosts/ask for sockers, and so on. You are NOT required to use this post in any way, however as ghosts provide interesting and new interaction possibilities, it's a good way to invite other people to play with you.

Hmmm.

Big Groot would probably be the most immediately comforting, because Rocket would be so happy to see his big friend, and pack the biggest aftermath punch because TWO DEAD GROOTS AT ONCE.

So I'm down for Big Groot! :-D

Big Groot says: I am Groot!

I think that one requires no immediate translation. :)

Woot! :-D

I will get a starter to you whenever you are ready for one AND when I have managed to put myself through an IW rewatch. (As you might expect, it's a tough watch.)

My test is tomorrow morning. After that I'm pretty much free until I go home on Sunday for the holiday, then I have family stuff off and on (but will have my laptop) until I come home on the 26th and then I don't go back to work until the 31st so I'm flexible for when you're ready.

I'll aim to get a starter out tomorrow, then! No pressure on any point, because backdating is a thing that can happen as we need it. <3

Sounds like a plan!
