[ 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.

Curnen Overbay

[personal profile] st_oneswidow 2018-12-19 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
OH BOY Curnen's getting a visit from her father. Not her dad, her father. Rockhouse is the worst and you hate him even if you don't know it yet. I'm not sure exactly how this is going to play out, but it's going to play a key role in getting her wings back. As far as most people are concerned, there'll be a new six-fingered banjo-player for a few days, and he's reeeeally good.

OH OH I FIGURED OUT A THING

So in canon Rockhouse is powerful and vicious, but obviously the ghosts don't have power here, right? I'm thinking Curnen subconsciously makes something happen that he'd do (like summon a storm or something) and it'd be awesome if someone could figure out that no, that's her, not Rockhouse.

Snow White

Snow's getting a visit from Henry Standing Bear, her dad/uncle figure from Gotham: Year One (thanks Allie).

Mildmay

[personal profile] st_onecoldfox 2018-12-19 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Mildmay will be getting a visit from Kolkhis, his Keeper from when he was a kept-thief. She was the closest thing he had to a mother figure, as well as seriously screwing him up.

To make things even more fun, (aka, mere is evil), he'll be delirious coming down with another bout of Winter Fever, so at least at first, he won't know what's hallucination and what's ghost.

At present, the ones of mine that are getting scenes will just be one shots or offscreen to provide information and generate a few scenes.

Rocket needs s ghost to take him to watch the end of IW, specifically Groot dying again. Because I’m mean.

Xavin will be having a legit-quasi-religious experience as Kl’rt (the original Super Skrull) does his best to show her that Earth/humans don’t deserve her loyalty via witnessing Karolina and Nico becoming a thing,

Loki is getting a very brief reconnect with his mother, then she’s ditching him in the future briefly to watch stuff around his own death. I sort of want to send him to the Isle of Silence as well and ditch him there for a while, but I don’t know what ghost would want that job most,

Thor and Peter

[personal profile] st_ormbreaker 2018-12-19 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Details here.

As per the writeup, I'm happy to have a companion for Thor during his Asgard adventures. If anyone is interested in doing something with him or Peter, please let me know. ♥

Gartrett Corbie

[personal profile] st_rikingblueeyes 2018-12-19 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Corbie will have a quiet reunion with her grandmother that I may or may not handwave. It's a one-shot sort of deal if I do.

Mostly she'll be nursing Mildmay while he's sick and helping as needed/wanted with his ghost.

Storm could probably feel the weather making was coming from Curnen if you'd like.

Leslie's pups

[personal profile] st_ormscoming 2018-12-19 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
Molly
Obviously her ghost of Christmas future will be herself as the Winter Lady. Molly will be going home to see life as the Winter Lady isn't as bad as she fears.

Storm
Storm will have a visit from Achmed her Fagan from the streets. It will be noticed that she's speaking Arabic to someone only she sees. :)
Then Jean showing her life as an Xman leader/Professor.

Miguel
He will have a nice reunion with his Papa Hector and talking music - handwaved. ;)

Clarice will be sitting this one out for herself but she is definitely open to helping anyone with their ghosts.

Dean Winchester

[personal profile] st_illfighting 2018-12-19 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Dean is getting a visit from Crowley to show his future - easy way to canon update. ;)

Re: Nat's pups ghosts

[personal profile] st_illfighting 2018-12-19 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Dean is getting a 'canon update' with a visit from Crowley. Would you like Mary to learn that she returns to life with her boys?
st_accato: (life sucks)

Buffy

[personal profile] st_accato 2018-12-19 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I am a jerk and she is getting a visit from Angel for her past. On the bright side, it's not Angelus. :p

Jane Doe

[personal profile] st_artingpoint 2018-12-19 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Because I'm mean - Jane is getting two visits.

One from her brother for past and future and one from Kurt for present.

She will find out that she is not Sif but in fact Alice Krueger AKA Jane Doe.

Future - she will also discover that she has Zip poisoning.

At some point Rocket should find out Quill knew before Rocket did and chose not to tell him =)

Anna's Brood

[personal profile] st_arlord 2018-12-19 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Quill
Gamora is showing up (Thanks Nat!) but I haven't decided if he's going to see what happened to her or not. I think I like the idea of everyone knowing it's essentially Quill's fault for Thanos and Quill not knowing it.

Tyrone
His brother Billy is showing up. This will be handwaved most likely.

Annie
Annie's dad will be showing up and doing a scene with Inn!Peter and anyone else who wants to meet a different Spider-Man.

Contemplating bring MJ for a bit too - any thoughts for or against?

Brad
Bradley's brother is showing up. This will be handwaved most likely.

[personal profile] st_ripetail 2018-12-19 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, that is absolutely a thing that needs to happen. (If I'm being honest, Rocket's learning these things so he can be more on the table with the rest of the MCU. It's a little weird to have him SO much further back than all of his canonmates.)

Coby knows he hates Rockhouse, and says it doesn't matter how talented a musician he is, the only time 'good' should be used in reference to him is in the phrase 'good fucking riddance'. He has had a brief encounter with a ghost-like Rockhouse before, and is totally there for Curnen either during ghost-Rockhouse or for after, as desired.

Oh man
Thor is going to be so heartbroken

Requesting a follow-up thread after Jane finds out

Depending on timing, Loki’s need to do his version of clinging might have to war with his pile of Odin Do Not Want lol
st_ormbreaker: (Because that's what heroes do.)

Re: Thor and Peter

[personal profile] st_ormbreaker 2018-12-19 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I think the current timing for my current pups is going to be something like --

★ Peter meets Peter
★ Possibly something with Thor and Quill? Not sure where Anna landed on this
★ Infinity War Funtimes (Peter, Loki, Rocket, Tony, et. al)
★ Thor hangs out in the past with Frigga so he can see how big of a fuckup Odin was

If Loki wanted to join on the journey, he could. Otherwise Loki could just discover his brother is MIA.

(By the way if you did want to do a Rocket blowup on Thor post-Groot, we could make that happen, too.)

Oh, I will need all the Rocket threads post Groot.

I think Loki freaking out a little at Thor being MIA would be both mean and ultimately good for him.
