WHEN: Monday, 17 January, 1981; afternoon   WHERE: Bosworth Baking Co, Puddlemere WHO: Merrick Wilder & Alice Shafiq, Emmeline Vance, Holliday Hawkins 

“We’re not open!” Merrick called to whomever walked into the bakery, bells chiming to indicate someone opened the door. “Sorry, still closed. But we should be up and running soon,” he added, back still to the person as he finished sanding a wooden beam.

The High Priestess, upright 

sacred knowledge

Hours pass but time within the Art Institute stands still—most patrons inebriated by their intake of alcohol or swayed by the rhythm of the music that surrounds them. The snake in the grass is yet to be seen. A group of heretics knew what hand would be played out tonight. Not even the gift of knowledge would spare them from their fate. ‘Tis true that there are more guests than normal, but none of them had been identified as foe. A group of people on the elevator hear an extra tick to the beat of music that vibrates all four walls. Those on the dancefloor or inside see the lights suddenly power down.  Darkness pours through, and even the dim moonlight is no help at all. The music stops all together, but it doesn’t cease the subtle ticking of a distant, haunting metronome. 

Suddenly, the Earth quakes under foot. The loud explosions strike true louder than thunder as the party erupts into chaos. Anonymous armed gang members are blocking the exits with guns. A loud ominous  inhumane squeal emits from the staircases. Bullets whizz by the frantic guests, and the fire has started to entrap them into the building. The embers carry the light in the building, and crawls up the curtains and burns through the spilled alcohol on the ground. Even for civilians the fight or flight survival instincts have kicked in.  Those normally innocent from crime do whatever needs to be done to get outside to their salvation. It’s a frenzy, dog eat dog, and if you want to survive, you’ll have no choice but to fight. 

It’s promising if one finds themselves outside the thick veil of smoke, but the promise is yanked once the survivor realizes their salvation has been denied. All the bodies they crawled over were  once someone they knew. Some burned, some caught in the crossfire, some purposefully disposed of, and some trampled by the people looking to live another day.

 There are no saints among the sinners.

Hello everyone! Welcome to part 2 of the event. This will run from October 21, 2019 to October 28, 2019. You may still continue event threads from the first half of the plot if you wish.  While you're not required to pause your regular threads, we encourage you to prioritize event ones. Please tag all event threads  ‘crimson.event’. The below plot drops are currently open, but each player is limited to 2 slots only. 

FIRST FLOOR

Heavy security. No guns. MONIKA ADLER smuggles in guns with the help of VALARENA CASTILLO  ( Fausts )

DIMITRI VASILE notices the bomb under the staircase, alerts CHARACTER D  to help them block the way.

SAGE CAULFIELD-PROUVOST fights the flames with a fire extinguisher, but soon runs out of powder and instead begins to crack open the windows with the blunt edge.

CHARACTER F, G, and H try to turn on the fire sprinklers, but MELANIE WARD and BLUE DANIELS sabotaged their efforts. The fire sprinklers are disabled as the smoke continues to rise with the flames.

CHARACTER K catches on fire and needs to stop, drop, and roll to extinguish the flames.

TATIANA STEELE pulls the fire alarm and their sleeve catches on fire.

TEDDY COHEN and JACK DAWSON IOAN ( Fausts) are guarding the main exit. They allow Fausts and Civilians out, but fight anyone else. CLEMENTINE O’SHEA,  BOONE O’SHEA,   FINNAGÁN O'SHEA , and LEVI BOHAN ( O’Sheas/Vasiles ) are denied which leads to a fight at the main exit.

JORDAN WAKE (Civilian) gets caught in the crossfire and takes a bullet to the abdomen, courtesy of CHARACTER T.

HOLLY BYRNE and JOHNNY BENNETT sustain third degree burns being too close to the stairs when they collapse.

SANTIAGO LOPEZ  ( Civilian/Vasile/Leon/Washington ) picks a weapon from one of the bodies to defend themselves but is too afraid to pull the trigger. NAOMI WASHINGTON  ( Civilian/Vasile/Leon/Washington ) confiscates the gun and fires in SANTIAGO LOPEZ’s stead.

ILYANA ROMANOVA  steps out of the way just in time for debris to come crashing from the ceiling, trapping TOBY O’SHEA, CONNOR MASON O’SHEA , and JULIETTE HARPER  underneath. CHARACTER Y jumps to their rescue, and TOBY O’SHEA, CONNOR MASON O’SHEA , and JULIETTE HARPER  are injured.

CHARACTER C1 tries to douse some of the flames with a cup of water. Good looking out, bro. The whole building is on fire.

CHARACTERS ON THE FIRST FLOOR ESCAPE VIA A SHATTERED WINDOW AND ARE SWEPT UP BY A FLEET OF AMBULANCES TO ASSESS THEIR INJURIES.

SECOND FLOOR

VICTORIA STONE, HEAVEN RICHARDS and CHARACTER F1 are trapped in a stalled elevator. They hear something beeping under the floor—the stark realization that they only have minutes to escape before the elevator blows incites panic.

LUKA SOKOLOV hears the commotion from inside the elevator and runs to help pry the doors open for VICTORIA STONE, HEAVEN RICHARDS, and F1.

BIRDIE MENDOZA passes out from smoke inhalation and has to be carried to the fire escape by TYLER MADDOX, CHARACTERS J1 and K1 witness CHARACTER L1   go out the fire escape and follow suit.

RYKER WARREN ( O’Shea ) and ZINADIA “Z” ANTONOVNA ( O’Shea ) work together to escape with priceless paintings during the commotion.

STELLA HOLLIDAY ( Civilian/Vasile/O’Shea ) takes a stray bullet in the shoulder and returns fire on JUNO SONG ( Faust ), who is struck in the chest. Luckily, the placement is non-lethal.

ANASTASIA VASILE ( Civilian/Vasile/Leon/Washington ) finds a way down to the first floor and escapes through a broken window.

MARCELLINE VASILE sacrifices a painting to the flames, but the fire only grows. It was a bad plan—their palms suffer second degree burns.

KATERINA FOX, ARABELLA DAVIDSEN, and U1 are saved from the fire by OLIVER FAUST. They suffered minor injuries, but are still taken to the hospital.

MIKAL VOLKOV is stabbed in the shoulder but doesn’t see their assailant—SAMANTHA REDFORD gets away with it.

EVERYONE ON THE SECOND FLOOR HAS EITHER DIED OR ESCAPED VIA THE FIRE ESCAPE. THE BOMB IN THE ELEVATOR GOES OFF, AND THE SECOND FLOOR COLLAPSES.

OUTSIDE

ZACH WASHINGTON and Y1 help survivors down from the fire escape and lead them across the street, a safe distance from the flames lapping at the roof of the Art Institute.

SASKIA O’SHEA suffers a severe asthma attack due to smoke inhalation.

CHARACTER A2 tries to resuscitate CHARACTER B2, and after a few agonizing minutes, CHARACTER C2 miraculously comes back to life.

FELIX GELLER makes the idiotic decision to snuff out their cigarette, but instead creates a small fire outside.  CHARACTER E2 witnesses this and ( does/does not ) report them.

QUENTIN O’SHEA , CHARACTER G2 ( O’Sheas ) wake up outside the Art Institute. They don’t remember how they got there, and are unscathed by the flames. They are taken into custody by CHARACTER H2 ( Leon/Cop ) as prime suspects.

CHARACTER I2 ( O’Shea ) picks a fight with EFFIE FAUST and K2 ( Fausts ) thanks to the creeping suspicion that it was the Faust family who planted the bombs.

CHARACTER L2 and CHARACTER M2 assist the first responders on site to help get the fire under control.

BAXTER GREENE  is arrested, but flees the scene with the handcuffs still on. They are not captured by police.

FENRIR SJOBERG and DEXTER O’SHEA are MIA after the event of the fire. It is unsure if they survived, if they fled, or if they are still in the building due to injury.
