plot drop 001: april 14, 2022

i. 

“—in the wake of devastating forest fires in southern sweden, the swedish government has announced crisis aid packages for all communities affected—” 

“—another earthquake has shaken japan. just after the 6.3 scale quake that shook tokyo just last week, another 6-point earthquake has rocked the country’s capital—” 

“—a catastrophic tsunami has destroyed a large swath of the city of cape town, south africa. officials have no solid word on the number of casualties, but they are estimated to be in the hundreds—” 

in the batcave, news feeds from around the world played on split monitors spread across the surface of bruce’s workstation. he was working on some tech for his cowl, sitting there with black makeup dripping down his cheeks—he had yet to clean up after the night’s activities—and a screwdriver in hand, he was only partially paying attention to what was going on. the natural disasters were getting worse, but bruce couldn’t say if they were because of some nefarious force or just what they were at face value. 

it was a question he was turning over in his head when suddenly, the monitors went black. his head immediately popped up, his gaze flicking from the monitors to the power cable connected to the wall, to the lc cable that connected his fiber optic internet connection. everything seemed to be in working order on first glance but he still started to stand to take a closer look. that was when the words, coming through fuzzy and hazy, flipping between english and various other characters, appeared boldly across every monitor in the cave. 

the redeemer is coming. you have one chance to stop him. make it count. 

bruce stood, his head cocked to the side as he observed the message. his lip twitched. then, as soon as the message was there, it was gone. 

ii.

clark was working late at the planet, as he was wont to do when he was coming up on deadline. he was fully in the zone, hunched over his computer in his cubicle. he looked comically large against the small desk, his glasses falling down over the bridge of his nose and needing to be pushed up with one finger every now and again. in true journalist fashion, he had a million tabs open and even more text documents; for most reporters, this type of organized chaos was the norm. whatever got the story finished on time. 

his phone buzzed beside his hand. a text from bruce came through: got a weird message. come by at your earliest convenience. clark gave it a second of his attention before returning to the screen in front of him. he could fly down to gotham once he hit submit on his story. 

then, one by one, each tab he had open started to close. “no, no, no, no—” he started, his eyes going wide as his work disappeared from the page. “no!” hours of work down the drain; bruce would have to wait a little longer. this story had to go out tonight. then, much in the same way the message appeared on the super computer in the batcave, a message flickered to life on the small monitor at clark’s desk. 

the redeemer is coming. you have one chance to stop him. make it count. 

clark’s brow furrowed. then he picked up his phone, texting bruce back: me too. be there soon. 

iii.

the archives of the museum of natural history ran deep underground, which made it easy for diana to lose track of time when she was doing work down there. she looked at her watch and realized with a start she had been there for hours; she started to carefully pack up the ancient tome she had been restoring for display upstairs back into its sealed box, careful to keep every page and stitch intact. she clasped the acrylic box shut, hermetically sealing it from the elements before walking back through the stacks to put it back in its shelf.

she had also been considering the recent uptick in natural disasters; the book she had been restoring mentioned the same types of catastrophes in the years leading up to the day that civilization’s god descended on earth. it wasn’t enough of a connection to be evidence that was what would happen soon, but it was enough to get her thinking about it. she wanted to do more to help.

her phone started buzzing incessantly in her pocket—odd, considering she had put it on full silent—and she pulled off the gloves she wore when she was handling fragile artifacts to take it out. there was nothing on the screen, save an ominous message. 

the redeemer is coming. you have one chance to stop him. make it count. 

odd. very odd. 

she was turning the message over in her head the whole time she headed home where she was greeted by a slim black envelope slipped under her door—batman’s preferred method of communication. she peeled it open to reveal a message from the vigilante: meet me on miagani island tomorrow night. 

TEAM MISSIONS 001 

hello everyone, and welcome to our first team mission pairing! all characters submitted through the participation call on discord have been put into teams of either three or four, and below the cut, you will find more details on the predicament they have found themselves in. here’s how the missions will work: 

there will be a dedicated discord channel under the “discord ic” category for each mission. that is where these threads will take place! please use tupperbox and the #tupper-register channel (or the tupper dashboard, if you’re fancy) to create bots for your characters to write under in these channels. 

the missions will last two weeks to give everyone plenty of time to work through the missions—if you feel your thread needs more time than that at the end, feel free to give us a heads up and keep going! 

plot away amongst your teams to come up with an outline of how these missions will go. get creative with it! we’d love to see what you come up with. please remember to run all major plots by the admins. 

we hope you all have fun with these missions! if you want to adjust anything about the mission parameters we’ve set out below, please, feel free to reach out to the admins and we will adjust accordingly! these are bare bones outlines meant to give you a jumping off point, but if you feel something else would be more in line with your character, please let us know and we’ll work it into the plots! 

lastly, please like this post once you’ve read it. team outlines are under the cut, go nuts!

while the two of us absolutely love vengeancehq in its current form and put a lot of work into this plot and world, the admins have realized that this isn’t exactly the route that we want to go with our rp. we feel we have hit a wall when it comes to accepting applications, even while promoting and posting on the main consistently, and we feel it’s because this rp may look a bit similar to other dc/marvel rps out there. 

the admins are really dc fans at heart, especially when it comes to the comics; because of this, we’re going to be revamping the game to be a dc comics only group. moreover, both of us prefer a small group setting, so we are also going to be putting a smaller cap on the number of muns and muses we’ll allow.

our plot, wanted characters, rules, and more have all been updated on the main, so please take a look at our updated game! 

we strongly, strongly encourage any current members of the group to stick around. we want you here! if you would like to stay, you can simply send us a message with which character you would like to pick up, and we’ll put that character on reserve for you right away and you can have three days to fill out your questionnaire for the character! if you need more time than that, as long as you are in contact with the admins, we’ll keep the character on reserve for you.

thank you so much to everyone who has supported us already—we’re excited for you to see what comes next!
