DRUG PLOT ROUND-UP POST (THE SECOND)

[stay_classy_cat]

BIG APOLOGIES FOR THE DELAY but here we go: a summary of what's happened so far and FUTURE PLANNING below...



• I'M NEW, WHAT'S GOING ON? / SUMMARIZE THIS SHIT UP FOR ME REAL QUICK LIKE PLEASE...?
GO READ THIS POST! Skimming over this post might also be a good idea. In short, since June 2012 or so, drugs disguised as innocuous lollipops have been distributed around campus, but are now most easily found in FDC. Many characters in the school have figured out by now that they're either drugs or ~bad news~, but some are still new to the scene/naive, or addicted, or simply don't care.

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

• I'M NOT NEW, WHAT'S GOING ON? / I LIKE DETAILS.
JUNE 2012, Seth Richardson--a fine upstanding asshole senior student who runs Host Club--secretly picked out/blackmailed a few naive, innocent looking ladies to do his dirty work and distribute expensive "herbal" lollipops. Them being: Mary, Nephenee, Riwane, Ai, and for a brief while, Naoto. These drugs caused all manners of Smash Academy style shenanigans, and ultimately resulted in wads of cash between them and Seth. Mostly Seth.

Most of the girls aren't in active service anymore/grew up, so Seth and Mary are your most likely sources to get pops on campus if you are interested. There are also completely benign, perfectly normal lollipops also being distributed around, making it difficult to tell them apart. Drugged pops will more often than not (like, 9/10 pops) will have a symbol stamped into them. It looks like a double "P" (not unlike "PP"). Older versions of drugged up pops might not have a symbol (so it's still entirely possible to take one mistakenly), but for the most, currently distributed drug pops should have this symbol.

While Seth and Mary still discreetly sell pops, at this point in time it would be far easier for interested parties to walk into any seedy section of Final Destination City and acquire drug pops that way through any number of seedy drug dealer NPC types. That said, that is of course taking a huge risk as these drugs have been a large cause of the civil unrest, rioting, and violence that has been increasing in recent months... and even the death of a former student. Smash Academy has mostly remained a sort of safe haven from this, but for how long...?

• SO WHAT'S HAPPENING NEXT?
Ideally, with all this tension and direness being built up, some kind of conflict or confrontation! Seth's dug his dirty little claws deep into the seedy underbelly of Final Destination City and has established a fierce grip over many of its citizens. Many are drugged up and under his control; a group of violent, drug-addicted individuals ready to do his bidding. He's rolling in cash and he's planning something really awful.

He has a base of operations hidden under a creepy "abandoned" church somewhere in FDC which should be looked into. If it gets shut down it'll put a dent in the drug production, maybe even enough to give many of the drugged up mooks and minions their lives back and lessen the chaos and discord in the city... or maybe it'll be the veritable spark to a powder keg just waiting to blow up.

If you're interested in having your character get involved with anything, by all means PLEASE DO. This has been on-going and slow-burning and you are never too late. The links I outlined above should be comprehensive enough, and if not I'll gladly answer any questions and throw some ideas out in the plotting threads.

Also if you have NO INTEREST in this plot, that is A-OKAY! I've done my best to construct it in a manner that provides a lot of hooks and motivations while keeping most of it contained off campus and all this is still easily avoidable and ignorable if it is not your shitck. So don't feel like you have to be involved or give it recognition. JUST KEEP DOIN' YOUR THING, MAN.

Thanks for waiting. After discussing it amongst ourselves and GLaDOS's former player, we actually have to decline any sort of manipulating with her body, as that is their preference; to leave her body alone.

If we can make a suggestion, Cyrus can acquire non-specific robot parts somewhere in FDC and use that as a project to a similair effect, but as far as using GLaDOS's body specifically, we will have to decline that. Sorry!

Ah, that's fine. It was just for research anyway.
