A CONVERSATION WITH THE CATALYST - THEO MOORE

Theo has been working with the Catalyst all this time. Below is their conversation, in case you would like to read what Theo has been up to all this time...

TASK #1 - APRIL (THE BLOSSOM FESTIVAL) The Catalyst_

Theodore Moore... Theodore Moore... I know you sense that I'm here. You've suffered greatly due to the negligence of those you love, but I can make it up to you. I can feel what you've been feeling. Your need for revenge that has been dwindling. No. Not dwindling. Shifting into something more and I can help. You want your life back. You want the position that was rightfully yours. I can gift it to you and more. You'd like to be mayor, wouldn't you? You've pictured yourself in the role instead of her. It's yours. I simply need you to do a few little tasks for me first. The first being to tamper with the Wishing Tree. Your task is to submit an ill-intent for each of the fae at Lunar Cove. When filling out the survey, please specify which ill-intent will be gifted to which fae in particular and be sure to make them as eerie and foreboding as possible. (Note: You will continue to receive tasks like this leading up until the next event at the end of June. We ask that you please not post any of these tasks on the dash as of yet, but please don't delete them from your inbox either. During the June event we will reach out and ask you to post all of the tasks that Theo has been sent by the Catalyst so that the rest of the members can see what Theo has been up to this whole time). And remember- the Catalyst has plans for you.

TASK #2 - MAY (SPYING) The Catalyst_

Theodore Moore... Theodore Moore... I see you have successfully completed task #1. You are one step closer to gaining what you desire most and the positions that are rightful yours. But, first, I have another little favor to ask of you. As the original and true Clan Leader, this should be a walk in the park for you. All I ask is that you speak to the following vampires- that spiteful wife of yours, Meena Raja-Moore, the hunter who would be better off dead, Kadir Aksoy, your wife's little underling, Kenji Matsui and the two newest members of the clan, Carmen Delgado and Julian Chandler. Find out what is most precious to them in the world and relay it back to me. I'm looking for the one thing they would be devastated to loose. And remember- the Catalyst has plans for you.

Theo is conflicted about second task. The Catalyst_

I see you haven't yet decided whether you want to go through with this second task or not. You're not sure as to whether you can trust me or what I am planning, so allow me to extend an olive branch. I have no plans to nor will I take what is most precious away from your vampires. I am simply looking for leverage. I'm looking for what may be a good way to distract them in the future so that you can help give me what it is I truly desire and I, you, in return. But, if you'd prefer not to rat out your own kind, future leader, just say the word. I can turn my attention onto the witches instead. Your vampires will be safe for now and, if you continue to complete the rest of the tasks I ask of you, I may go easy on them when my own plans come to fruition. Though I am curious as to whether you truly want me to go easy on all of the clan. You're honestly telling me you wouldn't want to see the hunter who tried to kill you and is currently bedding your wife suffer? Not even a smidge? How about that wife of yours who declared you dead so that she could claim what was yours? Remember, Theodore, I am here to fulfill your deepest desires. But, if becoming Clan Leader and Mayor of this town and getting revenge on those who wronged you isn't what you truly seek then maybe I was wrong about you. Maybe its the current Mayor I should have set my sights on all along...

Theo_

What the vampires would hate to lose:

Kadir: Meena currently since Kadir already lost James and his family

Meena: The Clan and father’s ring or the house

Ken: He doesn’t have an object as such, at least nothing to the point where he’d be devastated since he doesn’t have many things of value anyway, but the book that Leyla gave him would rank pretty high on the scale of things he’d hate to lose. Sentiments, of course, have never been his thing but now knowing that his brother is alive and in town, the fear of having something happen to Ko is re-lit which is the same in regards to Leyla as watching her almost die set about many many feelings in him.

Carmen: The Clan

Julian: Possibly Nesrim or Ralph since he has a connection to them? Was thinking Jas, and that might be true too, bc he did just die for her lol (I have a thread going but haven’t progressed enough to ask about it which had been the plan.)

TASK #3 - MAY (SPYING) The Catalyst_

Theodore Moore... Theodore Moore... while you're still completing Task #2, I have a 3rd task for you. This time I ask you to interact with the witches. I need you to speak to the following being the free spirit among the coven, Mason Mahir and the entire Reed Clan. That means Poppy Reed, Arlow Reed, Jasmine St Claire and the ressurrected among them, Devrim Yener. Find out what their biggest regret is. What is the one mistake that they'd hate to have to relive. And remember- the Catalyst has plans for you.

Theo_

Mason: He’s a simple kid who purposefully goes through life without many regrets, the aim is to live life to the absolute fullest so regrets are hard to come by. Even when Fever Dream broke up, they knew it wasn’t their doing, so while that day is one Mason would hate to relive he knew it had to happen. But if pressed he’d take you to the and whisper regretfully that on more than one occasion he spent rent money on games.

Poppy: Leaving her siblings and messing up on the relationship she had with Meena

Linden: Probably regrets his entire relation with Elodie seeing as how she used him for magic

Jasmine: Having the dark magic kill her mom

Devrim: Not telling Poppy about things.

TASK #4 - JUNE (SPYING) The Catalyst_

Theodore Moore... Theodore Moore... while you're still completing Task #2 & 3, I have a 4th task for you. This time I ask you to interact with the werewolves and we're going to step things up a notch. I want you to spy on all of the wolves. This means Caleb, Frankie, JC, Kitty, Mateo, Nico and Safiye. Find out who they'd want to protect most in this world. And remember- the Catalyst has plans for you.

Theo_

Caleb & Mateo: The boys would protect each other

Frankie: She’d absolutely protect her family first

JC: Most probably the entire pack. Nico being the main if it has to be one person

Kitty: Since her family is in town, it could be them? Or whoever she considers to be a close friend since she already lost one

Nico: Jasmine first, then the pack since he’s Alpha and all

Safiye: Her sisters

TASK #5 - JUNE (BREAK-IN AT FAE HQ) The Catalyst_

Theodore Moore... Theodore Moore... I know you're still spying for me. But, I have a more pressing task to give you. As you may have noticed, break ins have been popping up around town and now every Council Headquarters, except for the Fae Court, is guarded. This won't do. I need the Council to lower their guard just enough so that they don't cancel the town-wide event that is coming up. This is very important. The event must go on as planned. That is where you come in. I want you to stage your own break in at the Coalition Headquarters. It will be a tricky task given that the Pack will be stationed outside, but given your super speed, I have no doubt you will be able to get in and out unseen. Though, be a doll and make sure to wear a disguise in case someone spots you. Once inside the Coalition HQ, I don't want you to take anything. Instead, I want you to vandalize the property. I want you to stage the break in to seem like nothing more than the works of some angry fae whose harboring resentment against the Council. Make it seem childish. Spray-paint profanity if you'd like. How you choose to vandalize the property is up to you, but it should present the break ins as nothing more than the acts of frustrated civilians and, on your way out, I want you to leave clear evidence behind, pinning the vandalism on Anna Donnelly. Once the authorities believe that the break in is nothing more than petty vandalism, the case will be declared closed and remember- the Catalyst has plans for you.

Theo stages a break in at the Coalition HQ. Theo will enter the building wearing a disguise, vandalize the inside of the Coalition HQ and zip out of sight before anyone can see him, making sure to vandalize the property between precisely 11p to midnight. What mask will you have disguise will you have Theo wear? It can not be a black ski mask, so please pick any Halloween mask you would like to use though we'd advise staying away from masks of any political figures, celebrities etc. Examples of masks could be Bugs Bunny, Betty Boop etc. It should be distinct and seem like something Anna would pick out / be used to help frame Anna. How would you like Theo to vandalize the Clan HQ? And how would you like Theo to frame Anna? What evidence/object will Theo leave behind in order to frame them? The evidence/object Theo leaves behind in order to frame Anna will need to pin Anna to the crime without a reasonable doubt, so feel free to make this evidence specific/detailed to the fae in question.

Theo_

The first time when the thoughts in his head had a different voice to his own, Theodore had considered for a moment if he had well and truly had lost his mind. He ignored them, cast them aside with heavy shakes of head but as they grew louder, overpowering his own regular ideas with offers on temptations and rewards, it did not take long to get behind the notion the Catalyst was projecting. Though the overall goal was not something he had been made privy to, a promise of what was rightfully his was not one Theo would let slip by him. There had been challenges here and there, questions into why he was doing this, for what purpose but information was precious so when the time came to hand over for his own hesitancy should not have been a surprise. Debate lasted only a short while, questions met with silence had Theo wondering if this was all a farce and nothing he was being offered would come to fruition but it took highlighting incidences that Theo was willfully ignoring to bite the bullet and surrender – anger after all was a powerful motivator and the Catalyst seemed to be pushing all the right buttons.

He shook hands with everyone, a smile here, a polite laugh there – it was going rather well if he were to say so himself, despite not having an official title to flaunt about maintaining that air of importance was not something that needed to be faked, charm afterall came naturally but he was not entirely oblivious to the side glances and stiff smiles he received in return, Theo hardly cared and if anything it seemed more reason to side with the Catalyst and get what he had wanted from the beginning.

When the latest task buzzed through, Theo, accustomed to the routine now, hardly even blinked but a private little smile did grace his lips at the name that was mentioned this time. Anna had been a pain in the neck since forever, mouthing him off at every chance she got be it to his face or to others, it was irritating beyond belief and now was his chance for payback, his retaliation for her audacious yet downright foolish act of stabbing him. This would be easy. And to an extent it was. The specifics on what to do and where didn’t bother him in the slightest, with the break-ins already happening around town, like mentioned, this would just be another in the mix, another the current council failed to prevent, his issue really was in the how to do the things mentioned had him silently pause in though – childish vandalism was interesting but given the timeframe and the preciseness needed for execution, questions took the back burner and soon forgotten in the flurry on things needed to be done. What was vandalism if not destruction?

Smile grew wider as he sped to the location, getting to the headquarters was a breeze, quite really, it was a nice soothing spring wind that aided his travel. Careful to move into the shadows, Theo donned a masquerade mask – not being entirely sure on Anna’s fashion tastes in such things, or at all really, he had figured she was the one for theatrics this was fitting enough and he had seen these sort of tacky things at On Pitch when he had to brave a visit to the establishment earlier in the day to swipe her lanyard and a poster that was lying about the place figuring why not add more to the mix. Comfortably slipping into Town Hall and into CONS HQ – the rule only Humans being able to enter had always been just a suggestion to him. Despite not having to take anything, Theo took a moment to flit about the place shuffling papers here and there making a show of finding something and in turn stumbled upon a list of questions, one he figured they planned to ask Wilhelmina, Theo promptly ripped that up – “sirens” had to stick together right?

With a quiet chuckle that was further muffled but the fourth chime of the clock tower, Theo set to work. He didn’t plan for much, spray paint like suggested was ruled out in favour of a knife that he put to use to cut up upholstery and others in the place. It was cathartic in a way, however brief, the act of destruction was calming and there was high chances he could’ve kept going if he had not planned to be in and out before the clock struck twelve. Discarded the knife, a pretty thing - gold hilt and shiny metal, it might not be the one Anna carried on person when she stabbed him, but daggers and knife were her M.O and that wasn’t a secret. But he was often surrounded by idiots in this town, so to the knife he added in the lanyard that was in fact carefully placed to look like it had been accidentally dropped, and to the mix of ripped papers of the questionnaires he tore the edge on the flyer – little piece but enough to make out musical notes and the some of the letters On Pitch. There was a part of him that thought if Anna was careless with her crimes, she definitely made it obvious that it was her at times and maybe this would be the case to because not wanting to let the siponed powers go to waste, Theo scrawled, in her handwriting, a note that the had scrunched up and again “accidentally dropped” which read: ‘Bea won’t but I will’

He greeted the tenth strike with a satisfied sigh.

By the time the clock chimed eleven Theo was already out of the building.

Midnight set on Lunar Cove, blanketing everything in inky blackness, and Theo, creature of the night blended into the shadows pleased with a job done.

Mask: Masquerade mask

Vandalism: Cut up upholstery and other things

Frame Anna: a knife, her lanyard (hoping she uses one??), a poster/flyer for On Pitch

Note for the wolf: That reads ‘Bea won’t but I will’ – in reference to Bea not doing anything, I’m assuming the general public are aware that Bea and Anna don’t get along.

BONUS TASK - JUNE (BREAK-IN AT FAE HQ)

What Theo didn't know when Theo vandalized the Coalition HQ was that the Catalyst had sent someone to simultaneously vandalize the Clan HQ at the same time Theo was vandalizing the Human's headquarters. Now is your chance to have Theo react. You have the opportunity to write a message from Theo to the Catalyst. If Theo would be fine with the Clan HQ's vandalism, then you can feel free to ignore this task. But, if Theo is upset over the fact that the Catalyst intentionally left out how the Clan would also be vandalized, now is your chance to communicate that to the Catalyst via the Main's submit. You can draft whatever note you'd like being Theo's response via his thoughts to the Catalyst and submit it to the main. We will not post Theo's response until the event when all of the tasks are leaked. But, if you would like to have Theo give the Catalyst a piece of Theo's mind, we can have the Catalyst react in the next task they will give him.

Theo_

Interesting that you had another in on our scheme. Though I must say breaking in the Clan HQ was not something I expected, that came as a surprise and though I don’t feel any have caught onto my dealings with you, it was somewhat good in a way to see the vandalism. A nice wake up call for Meena to realise things ought to be handed back into my care. But, this other person has now piqued my interest as I know them to be behind the other break-ins, which I tie to you now. I’m sure you must’ve also offered them something in return, I'm hoping it’s for my cause and not some other lofty wish ordinary folk may have. You made a promise to me, remember, I do hope you keep it.

TASK #6 - JULY (REN FAIRE)

The Catalyst_

Theodore Moore... Theodore Moore... Have a little faith. A promise is a promise after all. I see you've been running the Game of Wits. You've done alright pulling the wool over your neighbors eyes thus far. Can you keep it up? I promised you power and revenge and I plan on upholding my end of the bargain. But, before I do, I have a few more favors to ask of you. I know you like to ask questions and I will give you your answers in due time. But, for now, I need you to poison the fae. This time it will only be you who will be receiving a task. You're my right hand now and if you do a good job, maybe then, I'll reveal to you who my second is. You can choose how you'd like to weaken them all. Maybe you'd like to put grounded up iron dust in their drinks? Or maybe you make sure that bits of iron are woven into their hair at the hair braiding station or into their costumes or crowns? etc. But, either way, I need their magic to be weakened for what I have planned to come. Once the fae have been poisoned, your task will be complete and, remember, you must get in and out unseen for- the Catalyst has plans for you.

How would you like to poison the fae? You can pick the same way for all the fae or tailor different methods to specific fae, but Theo would have been informed by the Catalyst that all of the tasks so far, pinning the blame of the break ins on the fae and the misfortunes from the wishing tree, have all been to have the fae on edge and off their game. The fae are the one species that would be able to undo the chaos the Catalyst has planned for the Ren Faire and, with them weakened, there will be nothing standing in their way or in Theo's way on in acting his revenge.

Theo_

anna & rangi - since they are picking up rubbish throughout the event, assuming they'd be wearing gloves of some sort, when they went off on a break, iron wire was looped into the base of gloves, hidden enough so they wouldn't see when they put it on but after they do it'd form like a cuff. // if that doesn't work then - a thin layer of powder can coat the inside so when they go to wear it would burn them slightly but also if they took them off the damage would already be done.

bea - not sure if the fae queen would wear a crown for the faire, if yes, then theo would tamper with it to have some sort of embellishment or part of the base be made or coated with of iron just to tie it back to the bad wish of 'unworthy is the head that wears the crown' // but if not then second option would be to spike her pastries/food with iron powder and hope she ate what she made.

billie - he would've have seen people bring her food and water and the easiest thing for him to do is to poison the food so the next she was brought a snack/drink it'd have a special ingredient of iron!

dilan - her outfits have flower crowns, so theo probably took a crown from the booth to thread iron wire into it and switch out the one dilan has.

kui - he mostly likely knew kui would be close to their booth helping people with costumes so theo might have just sprinkled iron powder on their work bench so they'd touch it at some point

leyla - iron based arrows so if she touched them it would hurt (but her show is friday which isn't the last day...) // would she have her face painted? if yes, then there's iron mixed into it, if not, then the old classical of iron in food!

again assuming this is for the last day - if the play is the same day as the costume contest (both are under saturday on the post) can i say that theo could have compelled (or even just told) some poor shmuck to throw around "pixie dust" over everyone but iron dust is mixed in it so it still shimmers like glitter but the fae that participated or are around the stage would have some fall on their skin which would weaken them/hurt them? but if any of the above are not plausible, and if the iron has to be ingested then go with their food/drink being spiked with iron powder - all of them had to have eaten something is my safest assumption.

TASK #7 - JULY (DREAMSCAPE PLOT DROP)

The Catalyst_

Theodore Moore... Theodore Moore... I know you're likely wondering why I asked you to poison the fae. You don't like to not be in the loop, I see. But, patience is a virtue, my dear, and now it's time for your patience to pay off. Though, first I need you to finish the job that was initially started. Your task is to break into the Coven Headquarters while everyone else is distracted by the joust. Hidden within Poppy's office in the back of the Poison Room, you will find the Supreme's grimoire. Fetch it for me. Once you've received it, bring it to and hide it within the old oak tree located at the border of town beside the welcome sign. After the grimoire has been safely delivered to me, your task will be complete and, remember, you must get in and out unseen. But, just in case someone manages to spot you, I've sent up a failsafe. After the intermission of Midsummer Night's Dream, the entire town will fall asleep. If you are spotted, you'll simply need to stall until then and we'll be home free. And remember- the Catalyst has plans for you. At the start of the performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Theo will break into the Coven Headquarters. He will sneak in through the door to HQ in the back of the Poison Room and steal Poppy's grimoire. Only on his way out he will be spotted by Kadir. With his identity revealed, he will be left no choice but to speed away. He will zip through the Pendulum playhouse, using the play as cover, escaping through the back door and making it to the forest where he can dump the grimoire, before finding a safe place for himself to await further instructions from the Catalyst. Where will Theo hide?

Theo_

Theo is hiding at the Moore Mansion, when everyone enters the dreamscape he'll be in his quarters and probably in bed.

TASK #8 - JULY (DREAMSCAPE PLOT DROP) The Catalyst_

Theodore Moore... Theodore Moore... I knew I could count on you. Thanks for the grimoire. You helped me obtain what I desired and now I will help you obtain what you do, starting with your revenge. The entire town outside of those pesky little fae are about to enter a deep slumber where they will be forced to live out their worst nightmares. Thanks for the tips by the way. Your notes on what the Lunar Covians fear came in handy. But, I could hardly leave you out of the fun. So, now it will be your turn to enter the Dreamscape. Only rather than live out a nightmare, how about you help orchestrate that annoying hunter of yours, Kadir's? Now that you are physically safe from harm's way, I will send your mind into his nightmare. It seems the Clan Advisor is torn between his two loves- a fae named James and your wife, Meena. So, why not make the choice easy for him? Inside his dream, you will present him with a choice- he can choose to be mortal again with the fae or stay a vampire with Meena. But, after he makes his choice, he'll have to watch his other love die. Think of torturing him as your first of many rewards. And remember- the Catalyst has plans for you.

Safe in his hiding spot, Theo will enter the dreamscape. He will play the role of the 'game show host' as he presents Kadir with the choice- to chose which one Kadir's loves he should save and which should die. Kadir's nightmare is only a dream. He will not actually receive mortality from it, but for Kadir it will feel real. Though depending on what Kadir picks, Theo may also have to watch Meena die. Will Theo be willing to put Meena through that as a way to torture Kadir or will Theo be conflicted? Feel free to write out the thread with Alex and Becca and play out Theo's actions in whichever way you decide. As the plot drop also explains, because Theo has entered Kadir and Meena's nightmare, the nightmare is blocked from any fae from being able to enter to help them out. Feel free to have Theo take advantage of this fact.

TASK #9 - AUGUST (MISERY BUSINESS DISCORD EVENT) The Catalyst_

Theodore Moore.. Theodore Moore... Those pesky fae might have managed to free the Lunar Covians from our dreamscape, but, the real nightmare is just beginning. My final task for you is as follows- I want you to head back over to the Pendulum Playhouse. They'll still be waking up and in a daze which will give you the perfect time to strike. Kyle will enter the Pendulum first with the instructions of causing utter chaos. His task is to be the distraction, while I am giving you the chance to have all that you desire. You seek power. You seek to reclaim your position as Clan Leader and you seek the position of Mayor. I was hoping you'd be able to achieve all of that and more in a more subtle capacity, but that annoying hunter of yours, Kadir, had other plans. So, how about we take it by force, shall we? Your task is to kill the Madam Mayor, your ex-wife, and the one who claimed the Clan from you. She is the one who is standing in your way. Kill Meena Raja and your deepest desires will be yours. Only this task just so happens to come with a fun little twist, for me anyhow. You enjoyed being the host of the Game Show, didn't you? Well, now you're in my Game Show. You've made a habit a questioning my tasks over the past few weeks and I don't particularly enjoy being questioned. So, now is your chance to prove your loyalty to me once and for all. Kill your wife and I'll uphold my end of the bargain. You'll live on as the revered and feared leader you always wanted to be. But, fail to accomplish the final task I have for you and you die. You're either with the Catalyst or you're against the Catalyst. It's her life or yours, dear Theodore. Will you live or will you die? The choice is up to you.

Our Discord Event will begin tomorrow. The event will start with the townspeople waking up from their dreams. A few minutes into the discord event, we will post instructions on the group detailing Kyle and Theo's grand entrances. Kyle will enter first with the doors of the Pendulum flinging open. Then we will post the instructions for Theo's entrance. Have fun coming up with exactly how you'd like to have Theo make his dramatic reveal. While Kyle is causing chaos/fighting the Lunar Covians, that will be Theo's cue to attack Meena. Only Theo won't be able to go through with killing Meena in the end and Meena will be the one to kill him instead. Once Theo enters, you will be able to plot out Theo's death with the others in the GC, deciding who Theo will fight and attack before Meena kills him. Similarly, you and Becca can plot out if/how Meena will get hurt in the process before Theo meets his end. If you have any questions, you can also always reach out in the discord tickets during the discord event itself.

TASK #10 - AUGUST (MISERY BUSINESS DISCORD EVENT) The Catalyst_

You just couldn't do it, could you? And why? You could have been the one still alive right now, only you choose her and for what? To die at her hands? To become a walking stereotype? The a-hole of a husband no one wanted around, killed off by his 'widow'? I wish I could say I expected more from you, but the truth is I didn't. I knew you'd betray me in the end. It's always the power hungry ones who can't seem to realize when they're the pawn on the board. Not the king. I guess we can say that it was fitting fate for you in the end. Farewell, my traitor. It's been swell and before you go, mind passing along a little message for me? Tell what is left of the Council, the Catalyst is coming and, if you're not afraid yet, you will be.
