smash_ooc | DRUG PLOT ROUND-UP POST (THE FIRST)

Things have been shaking and rolling and that's really excellent, so let's summarize what's happened so far, and plan for the future.

· I'M NEW WHAT'S GOING ON...?
GO READ THIS POST! Then come back here and continue reading this post. In short, since June or so there's been drugs being distributed around campus disguised as innocuous lollipops. Some characters in the school have figured out by now they're drugs, most haven't. Some are addicted and some have fought through their withdrawals and addiction. Several characters should know by now who's selling them, though it's been kept very hush-hush and under the table. The pops are very addicting, after all, and who wants to risk the supply to run out?

And yes, the pops are still around and you are more than welcome to use them as outlined in the previous plotting post.

· I'M NOT NEW, WHAT'S GOING ON?
JUNE 2012, Seth Richardson--a fine upstanding ~~asshole~~ senior student who runs Host Club--picks out/blackmails a few naive, innocent looking ladies to do his dirty work and distribute expensive "herbal" lollipops. That being: Mary, Nephenee, Riwane, and Ai, and they are largely unaware they're actually selling drugs. Seth either brings them unmarked boxes in the middle of the night when they run out, or they stop by his place to pick them up (and give him his share of the profit earned). Over the course of the summer the lollipops have become increasingly popular and resulted in shenanigans ranging from characters tripping balls to characters tripping balls and causing school-wide floods, pink hair, trashed rooms and offices, and school-wide dreams/nightmares. The girls are rolling in wads of cash by now, and Seth even more so.

And so far... no one's taken any direct action (yet) to stop it. If Seth has his way, things will only get worse.

· DRUG-RELATED LINK LIST:
Note: I can't attest/count for/be aware of every individual drug-related thread that's been happening, and some things have been OOCly handwaved, but I'll DO MY BEST and contribute what I do know!

· *WHAT'S WITH THAT ASTERISK? DON'T HOLD OUT ON ME HERE.
This is a little subplot that really only regards Samus, Phoenix, Char, and Rhys in the Love Hotel, so if you don't play any of those dudes don't worry about it. The subplot is vaguely related and it DOES involve drugs, but not of the lollipop kind. It's not directly consequential of this plot (meaning, regardless if the subplot finishes or fizzles out, Seth's still going to do his thing) but it is related and can add another facet to the grand scheme of things, so I'll leave it at that for now. Involved parties, YES I am very interested in continuing it if you are! If not and you guys are burnt out, that's a-okay, I can give the deets/spoilers and we can carry on that way too.

· SO WHAT'S HAPPENING NEXT?
Seth's been getting a little more cautious now that the little stunts he's been pulling have been getting some attention. Still! It's not enough it's never enough. He's single-handily expanded his drug empire across Final Destination City and has been digging his claws deep into its susceptible under belly. If any of your characters frequent FDC, they'll be seeing more and more NPC types with white sticks hanging out of their mouths. More people will be asking where to get their fix (specifically, pops branded with a "PP" stamp) and more will be desperately inclined to take if they can't have it.

Reports of vandalism and theft will slowly go on the rise and if you wander onto FDC's streets and you look like you have money or pops, you could very well risk getting mugged for it. Even in broad day light. If this prolongs into the holiday season, expect it to get exponentially worse.

Closer to home on campus, Seth has left the selling of pops primarily in the care of his drug lolis. He'll still do business himself, but he's honestly got bigger fish to fry, now. He is, however, going to contaminate local grocery stores, so if your character is expecting to buy Halloween Candy this year or go trick-or-treating, there's a high chance you'll see more of those "PP" tricks in your treats.

If you're interested in having your character get involved with INVESTIGATIONS, by all means PLEASE DO. The links I outlined above should be comprehensive enough, and if not I'll answer any questions and throw some ideas out in the plotting threads.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

You know me, I'm anal retentive for details and love linking things. Alternatively: here's where to ask for thread removals. No hard feelings.

Ask away!

When should I have loli Naoto show up because I don't want to ruin any other plans either.

Anytime is good with me! I am chipping away at a Seth network post if you want to use that, probably sometime by the weekend it'll be finished/I'll be around more to tag it.

Otherwise, really yeah anytime. :>

PLANS I'M AWARE OF off the top of my head:
· Rhys would like to get it all figured out but just as he does Seth will come along and silence him with pops.
· Edgeworth you should be friends with Seth.
· A number of characters are either interested in or have started their own investigations into the matter. As it stands, no one's come forward with any solid proof yet that Seth's behind the whole thing, and that's what he'll vehemently argue against if no one can procure it.
· Any inquires/interrogations directed towards drugged up FDC residents will reveal: 1) they're really unwilling and scared to talk, most will run away or turn aggressive, 2) but if you can manage that, they've seen that "PPP" symbol branded on the side of three abandoned churches in shadier parts of the city.

I think I'm more on-board with my school/work/volunteer schedule, so I might be ready to set up an office log for drugged-up students and staff to come tripping balls all the way over to his office. It's going to be a more general purpose "my character is hurt or sick or needs help on homework" office log but I want to encourage at least one druggie to pop in so that Rhys can keep being suspicious.

Basically: Just letting you know I'm still interested in having this happen! I wish I had done it sooner, ahur...

I would very much like Edgeworth and Seth to be pals because they're both insufferable pricks. I'm sure it'd give Seth an initial leg up to be bros with a prosecutor and if he's an Ace Schmoozer, Edgeworth will be less likely to suspect anything is up with him.

At the same time I think it would be super great to get him involved in the investigation process because ~~Phoenix and Apollo have magic lie detectors or Superman vision and then all Edgeworth gets in his own game is basic logic~~ every investigation team needs a nerd. Someone vandalizes his office all hopped up on lollipops and when he conducts his own investigation he bumps into other people snooping around? Edgeworth trips balls, someone finds him, goes "yo dude drugs," and they team up to look for proof? Someone in school steals from him and upon being pressed for information they go "GOTTA HAVE MY POPS?" I DON'T KNOW I'm open to suggestions.

HEY NICK TELL YOUR OL' PAL EDGEY ALL ABOUT THE TIME YOU TRIPPED BALLS

only the fanciest investigators have ascots and cravats yo

I can't decide if this is the best idea or the worst idea WE SHOULD MAKE IT HAPPEN

~~if it's wrong of me to want phoenix and sonic to pitch in because snooty red jerks in fancy clothes and spiky-headed blue protagonists then i never want to be right~~

The best of the worst? The worst of the best? WE SHOULD DO IT AND FIND OUT.

~~me neither. meaning this should most certainly happen. THE SIMILARITIES YO~~

YES... 8) how do you want to make this a thing? They both catch each other snooping around and go "HEY >:(" at the same time!?

~~It's like that movie Twins except Shadow/Sonic are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Edgeworth/Phoenix are Danny DeVito. OR MAYBE IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND I DON'T KNOW~~

WHEN WOULD HE BE SNOOPIN shadow would likely be around at ungodly hours but i could make him show his face just about any time...

oh

oh

no man you got it

you got it good

I've sorta handwaved this (and I should go post it on the living arrangement post) but Garrett has snagged himself a safehouse/apartment in FDC and he tends to hang around seedier places, so he could very well notice that the crazy has spread beyond the school. SO THERE'S A THING. And like I said before, he is interested in encouraging the madness if it means he can score some loot in the confusion. >:3

ALSO, Skull Kid is still on the pops, and I'd be happy to have him freak out and start turning people into frogs or Deku Scrubs or whatever if anyone's interested. :D

shadow is investigating solo but if anyone catches him snooping about for evidence and info, they may or may not be welcome to join him. he'll also be trying to investigate fdc for more clues.

go go inspector shadow

I'm all for Chun Li noticing this weird trend and it's side effects and possibly teaming up with Shadow ~~in their own buddy cop show~~ trying to find the source.

BUDDY COOOOPS. hopefully chun li can tolerate his dickishness OTHER THAN THAT THOUGH I LIKE THIS IDEA.

Is there a lot of candy-eating in class or sticks and wrappers littering the halls

because

SOMEONE'S GOING TO HAVE TO LAY DOWN THE LAW, JUST SAYIN

~~please get both a cow and a hall monitor to do drugs also~~

YEP...

Aque's trying to connect to spirits and she's like damn dis ain't working so Seth walks up and is like 'what are you trying to get an aneurysm over lady' and she's like 'i'm a hippie and i talk to spirits' and he's like 'oh how's that going' and she's like 'like crap' and he'll be like 'TRY THIS POP' the end.

oh god this school is just out of control
gonna
yell at e v e r y o n e

~~THAT IS ACTUALLY A GOOD IDEA. SHE'D BELIEVE IT because Hallow's End candy has magical properties anyway...~~

If Aque goes trippin' she should meet the space coyote.
