We’re going to allow each person to choose two plot slots for two characters max .If there are any leftovers, we’ll let members know when they can sign up for thirds. 

You’ll notice that some of these plots are public, so feel free to have your character react to them/ notice them even if they aren’t happening directly to your character. However, if something feels like it happened privately to another character, please check in with their Mun to see if it’s okay for your character to know.

To be clear: these are not the only things that happen to your character during this plot drop and you are more than welcome to cook up your own trouble.

To sign up for a plot slot message the main! You can start doing that as soon as right now! You may start the threads as soon as you’d like. Keep in mind that you can only message the main plot slots choices for your characters alone. 

Also, if you’re going to have your character be injured during the phase of part II message the main ( just so we can include it in the conclusion summary)! Your character can still be injured, but we thought it would be cool to include characters in the summary.

PLOT SLOTS 

CHARACTER A notices sparks flicker out from behind a painting. Their knee jerk reaction kicks in and they run into CHARACTER B when the painting lights on fire.. 

CHARACTER C ( FAUST AFF ) triggers one of the distraction bombs, but they didn’t count on CHARACTER D being injured in the aftermath.

BIRDIE MENDOZA has caught their gown  in the rotating door whilst trying to make their escape, and  TORI MASSARO has to decide whether they want to risk their own skin and help or chalk it up the BIRDIE MENDOZA’s bad luck.

JIN-AE ‘JJ’ RAU-BYRNE is engaged in a conversation with the bartender & JESSE VALENCIA, but that conversation is cut short when the bartender catches an unfortunate stray bullet in the face. It’s up to save themselves or help each other get shelter. 

CHARACTER I, CHARACTER J and CHARACTER K have their own mission for tonight, and this chaos offers the perfect opportunity. Who knows how they made it in with box cutters, but CHARACTER I, CHARACTER J and CHARACTER K leave their marks across canvases all the way down the main hall. The flames are closing in fast, though, so don’t dawdle for too long. 

CHARACTER L ( FAUST AFF )  & CHARACTER M both are the first people to arrive at the doors of the Art Institute after the chaos starts. One with the goal to keep people in, and the other to keep people out.

ZAKIYA AL KHATIB & OLIVER FAUST detonate the bomb underneath the elevator that traps WYATT LEON, ISABELLA FAUST, AND RAFFERTY DOYLE inside and they have to work together to get out. 

CHARACTER R strikes a deal with CHARACTER S to use this opportunity to steal the most prized piece of artwork in the Art Institute. It almost goes perfectly, until they launch it out a window that’s not illuminated by flames. However, when they finally make it out to collect their prize ▬ EVELINA VASILE is holding it and also brandishing a weapon. 

DIAMOND WASHINGTON who not-so-cautiously accepted a colorful pill from a stranger earlier in the night, is convinced the eyes of the painting are moving, suggesting someone may be trapped inside. CHARACTER V and CHARACTER W notice DIAMOND WASHINGTON dashing further into the flames and take it upon themselves to help, but that means they’ll have to handle the chaos of whatever DIAMOND WASHINGTON is hallucinating. 

AMADEUS JUDE CASTELLANOS  completely giving no fucks whatsoever picks up a glass of what they assumed was water from the bar to douse a lick of flames that got too close. The problem was it was vodka that fuels the fire, and starts to cover ZOE WASHINGTON. They can either run or stay behind, but ZOE WASHINGTON  is 100% able to ID them. 

AUDREY ROUSSEAU was in the restroom when the explosion occurred, and a large chunk of the balcony has blocked the door. Smoke is filtering through the cracks in the threshold, and AUDREY ROUSSEAU calls frantically for help. EZEKIEL “ZEKE” HALLIDAY hears their cries and opts to help, but the flames are moving closer by the second, and the smoke is getting heavier. EZEKIEL “ZEKE” HALLIDAY has to move fast or they will suffer the same fate as AUDREY ROUSSEAU .

CHARACTER B1 starts to exchange gunfire with CHARACTER C1 up the staircase towards the roof. One of the stray bullets hits another small bomb that causes the staircase to falter. 

ABRAHAM SWEETWINE helps others to safety using a nearby window, but another explosion leaves them burned and trapped under a large piece of the ceiling. JULIA FAUST bolts to their aid and carries ABRAHAM SWEETWINE to safety. Once outside in the lawn, JULIA FAUST must keep ABRAHAM SWEETWINE awake long enough for medical personnel to arrive.

SERAFINA EATON  is able to convince WIKIMAK CLARKE to assist in rescuing the artwork from the chaotic flames. However, after they’re injured in the process SERAFINA EATON realizes the artwork they’re trying to save is falsified. Almost as if the original artwork had been swapped. 

ANYA VOLKOVA uses the opportunity to pickpocket abandoned purses scattered around the main hall. They find a loaded pistol in MARKIE “PAIGE” KRAVTSOV ’s purse right as MARKIE “PAIGE” KRAVTSOV comes to collect it and whatever else ANYA VOLKOVA has taken. It’s up to ANYA VOLKOVA to figure out whether or not a purse is worth killing over, but be warned—the flames are moving fast. 

AUBREE DAMIANI is trampled by a crowd that beelines to the exit. CHARACTER K1 is the only one to stop and help them up off the ground & carry them.

TARON LYNCH  is outside enjoying a cigarette when the explosion rocks the foundation of the Art Institute, and the law enforcement immediately think they’re a suspect along with IAN LOCKE  that had ducked out for a breath of fresh air. They’re taken into custody for questioning. 

CHARACTER N1 and CHARACTER O1 make it to the lawn of the Art Institute just as CHARACTER O1 collapses from smoke inhalation. CHARACTER N1 finds CHARACTER P1 to help carry CHARACTER O1 to first responders.

 1. With Tumblr's activity system acting out. Please, please, if someone has skipped your reply it may be that tumblr didn't give them the notification of it. I would give it a few days, and kindly send them a DM. We also have the thread-tracker channel in Discord to help with this as well. 

 2. Each character should have MULTIPLE threads going on at the same time. This doesn't mean you reply to 1 thread with 1 person consecutively each week to avoid activity check. This doesn't constitute bubbling, but it doesn't promote inclusiveness either. Please don't do this.

3. I understand with multiple replies, there are multiple drafts. Sometimes, we bunch those up & send them all onto the dash at the same time. This is fine, however, if you have 5 threads with one person, please try to split up how it gets posted on the dash. Because, talking on a perception level here, if you finished 8 replies, and 4 of them are for one mun. They all  post to the dash the same time, someone logs in and just sees 4 posts to the same mun. Then that could be misconstrued & make your writing peers feel left out. 

 We have always promoted an inclusive group, and have gotten compliments from recent newer members that they were almost flooded with plots. That is the kind of thing we want to hear about, so please make sure to communicate with one another. In Discord I know things can go popping off a mile a minute, so maybe take a peek at some of your DMS to make sure you didn't accidentally leave someone on read. We are appreciative of all you guys, and the new people that find us. 

 First of all there were some misinterpretations about what happened a few weeks ago in regards to a certain writer. We won't go into the full details of the situation for privacy reasons, but it was mutually decided that she should leave the group. I will say that we are lenient about what goes on and what is shared in the group, and there is a certain line that should never be crossed. It's not something light or petty that surfaced. We don't want to hear anymore miscommunication on what happened in regards to this decision. If you want to know further details you can contact the admin team. 

It seems like there are a few people as of late that have voiced their issues with the group. We want to put it out there first, that if we don't know a problem exists, we can't fix it. It does nothing but brew negativity and fester into something huge if it's not taken care of. At the end of the day, we are all here to relax and escape our realities. We are all here to have fun, and not worry ourselves with ooc drama.  Another trend we are noticing is that people have made additional servers within discord, or keep their threads in wire. The problem with this is that we can’t moderate those if a problem arises. So we obviously can’t control what you do outside of the main discord/main rp. However, if the drama starts there we ask you to keep it there. Because we can try to help, but honestly it’s out of our hands. Again, any serious plot driven or extensive threads need to go on the dash. Wire itself is supposed to act as a tool to get things on the dash. It’s not supposed to take the place of the dash.

We are working on more group activities for our characters such as mini events in the future. So be on the lookout for those! With such a large group we don't expect everyone to plot with everyone. That would be 50+ people and 100+ characters which would be almost impossible. If you have done so, kudos because that is great. That being said, bubble RPing & plotting aren't tolerated within this group. Please keep in mind if you’re “power replying” to someone to try to stagger other replies between it.  Consider this the first warning.  We will be keeping a better eye on this going forward. Nobody likes being felt excluded from the group, and I know from the past that most of us are inclusive. 

We will also be trying to do a movie night every Friday, especially while the majority of us are in quarantine. We will try to nail down a time that works for most people to attend, and will poll which movie gets chosen. There is also a group that will be playing Fortnite, if anyone is interested in joining them! They will be playing squads, and will be alternating who goes in with whomever is available. 

As far as plots go, for the most part we don’t mind if characters get married or have children. However, it’s important to point out that this is a crime RP.  There are designated family spots to keep things fair among the writing group, and if a character inside the family marries another they would technically automatically move into one of those family spots. Unfortunately, if the spots are all taken… that can’t mechanically happen. So we just ask that if you play a family spot within the key families to give us a heads up about marriages. Just to ensure there is a family spot, and we can move the other into that spot. We don’t necessarily care about children, unless they’re being played and are adopted. Then we would need to know that for the same reason. If your character doesn’t hold a family spot, then this doesn’t apply to them. If you notice a family spot open, we just ask that you get in contact with us to keep us in the loop.

Please for the love of God memorize the family list if your character is part of that family, because incest related plots will not be tolerated at any time. Incest is banned here. This goes for adopted members of the family, they are still family. Adopted siblings/cousins are still considered your character’s family. 

There seems to be some confusion as far as the ranking goes. The admins tend to get involved in the top tier ( the top three/four ) ; these positions usually go to people who are active, and would make sense on a plot/background basis. That being said, if the positions are below the top three/four, most of the time it just takes a message to the main, and we will move the character around for you. 

Example: Can I have Bob moved into the O’Sheas and a bonebreaker?

The exception to the rule is if you want to roleplay out the promotion on the dash, then by all means just message us. We would rather still put your character in that spot, because like the family spots most positions also have a cap on them. 

Overall, we are all here to write and have fun. Please be respectful of your fellow writers. Don’t godmod their characters. Don’t force other people’s characters into a narrative that makes no sense for their character. Don’t force plots on other people. Don’t force ships on other people. Don’t metagame. Don’t bubble.  Control your own characters, and your own narrative. 

Again and we can’t stress this enough, if you have any issues please contact the admin team so we can work on resolving the issues ASAP.
