Resurgence [Part I - Ark]

[Ark Industries]

Good evening.

Your presence (or, rather, your characters' presence) is requested at the Ark Industries Town Hall Meeting this Tuesday, July 16.

This meeting will mark the beginning of the new site plot. We've got some interesting things planned, and we hope everyone will have at least an opportunity to be part of it. There will be more of those opportunities, of course, and the other factions will be kicking into gear soon as well. This is very much just the beginning.

There will be one, two, or three threads running concurrently, depending on how much interest there is in the first two. But yeah, at least one. Characters can appear in one or two, or all three in a couple of cases (who probably know who they are). This post is to gauge that interest and determine how many threads are needed exactly.

Like I said, though, this is just the start of things, so don't worry if all your characters don't fit. However, if you do want to put multiple characters in one thread, you're welcome to do so.

If there are more than three players in any of these threads, we will not follow post order. We'll post based on reactions. If you foresee falling behind, use the Away List and we'll keep it open for you as best we can.

So. The threads are:

1) An internal Ark meeting where the staff will meet with their new CEO. As you can guess, this is open to Ark characters only. ICly, this thread happens first. Ark characters are not required to attend, but I guarantee you will want them to have been there.

Participants:

• Christian Moynahan, Gabriel Constant, and Fallon Daugherty
  
• Lucius Kilvayne and Archie Cane
  
• 
  

2) A press conference. ICly, this happens the morning following thread #1. Ark characters do not need to be present at all, but they can be. Typically there should be journalists here, but there's nothing stopping an enterprising young person from mingling in the crowd.

Participants:

• Christian Moynahan, Gabriel Constant, and Fallon Daugherty
  
• Lucius Kilvayne and Archie Cane
  
• Hatire Carrington
  
• 
  

3) A town hall meeting. This is open to the public and, like the others, will be held in Los Angeles; however, it will also be streamed throughout the US and other countries, and distant viewers will be able to submit questions via text/Facebook/Twitter/raven. So your character may be physically present, or they may not be, and still participate. (Just make it clear either way.) In IC chronology, this takes place last.

If you do not wish to participate in the thread but want to say that your character did watch or attend, you are welcome to do so.

Ark characters are not required to attend, but if they do, they will be on stage, and will not be able to ask questions. That's what Thread #1 is for.

Participants:

• Christian Moynahan, Gabriel Constant, and Fallon Daugherty
  
• Lucius Kilvayne and Archie Cane
  
• Sophie Nystrom
  
• Sayeva Reardon
  
• Brogan Kilvanye
  
• Adrian Kilvayne (disguised)
  
• Nireva Hale
  
• Khalidah Rahal, Felicia Soler, Felicia's libido, any other Rahals that appear
  
• 
  

Reply here with any characters you want involved and which threads they'll be in. Don't worry about including NPCs in this list if they're coming with a PC.

All right then! I'm looking to start these threads on Monday or Wednesday, depending on everyone else's availability. Let's get some plot going! and your characters will finally get a look into what Ark has been up to all this time. Under their new leadership, things are really gonna change up there!

[Adrian Kilvayne]

I suppose signing up Lucius and Archie for all three is appropriate, and Brogan will be wherever Say goes, of course.

And I think Adrian being at the Town Hall Meeting would be lulz. Incognito, of course.

[Nireva Hale]

Given that the town hall meeting's going to be held at the UCLA campus, I think that there's a decent probability that Niri would find herself in the middle of it, simply by chance. Studyingstudyingstudying--oh, shit! Ark people!

[Helena Rahal]

Hatire in his unusual ways shall survey this press conference while Sophie reluctantly travels with her sister to the town hall meeting.

[Felicia Soler]

Eh, probs all the Rahals in the Town Hall. Keep an eye on your pants, ladies and gentlemen. Felicia will bang at least one of you. Everyone knows it.

Conall and Adele duncurr.

[Dakari Johessman]

Updated the lists up to here. Yay!

As it stands, if it's only me and Laz for the first thread, we'll probably just talk it out on Skype instead. The other two look good so far.

I'll probably leave the threads open for a while even after posting them, unless they get ridiculously full because no one likes ridiculously full threads.

[Christian Moynahan]

Threads 2 and 3 are up:

The Regulator - press conference

New Day Rising - town hall meeting

I'd like to see a couple more people on the viewers' side on the press conference, and maybe one or two more at the town hall too. Both threads are still open for now. ^.^

[Sayeva Reardon]

Still got plenty of time to jump in on this.

As the third thread states, it's being broadcast throughout the country, so your charrie doesn't even have to be in L.A. And, I mean, if your charrie is headed toward inactivity (60 days is not forever), this would count as a thread for them. So I'm not saying, but I'm just saying.

[Christian Moynahan]

So, showing my hand a bit here, but since I have a very important one-shot to post following the ends of the press conference and town hall threads, I'd really like those of you who said you would post there to give some reactions there. They don't have to be as long as my post with Christian's - that was 2000+ words and I had to fit a whole Keynote into one post. Even a couple sentences would be cool.

This is important because 1) as noted, I have other things to do after the thread and 2) Christian made a significant decision in that last post that I felt certainly warranted at least a slight reaction from those in attendance. If you'd like me to bold the important parts, I'd rather not, but I will if it will help.

Basically, I hate asking for posts, but please post there.

(Special thanks to Chell for doing so without my having to ask.)
