BREAKING NEWS - INCOMING PLOT DROP #2

It appears the robbery at the Poison Room last week was not an isolated instance. The HQ Burglar has struck again. This time targeting the Wolf Den. In between the hours of 11p to Midnight last night (the same time frame as the previous Break in), the Burglar entered the werewolf headquarters. They were carrying a portable radio with them and a drawstring branded Siren Sounds backpack. The culprit stole an official pack member log that detailed out all of the wolves information by name and address dating back fifty years. They knocked over chairs, tossed documents around, tore up a number of Pack Pamphlets that had been used as coasters at the time and smashed a number of paperweights, as well as knocking a lamp over. They were interrupted a few minutes in by Nicolás Castillo Alders, the same witness to their previous Break In, and similar to the last time, the masked figure was able to flee the scene of the crime before Nico could catch them. Although the Alpha did manage to grab a hold of their backpack, the straps tearing clean off the culprit’s back allowing them the opportunity to slip away with the documents in hand. 

Sheriff Cavanaugh made it to the scene not shortly after where authorities worked with Nico to determine what had been taken and examined the evidence left behind. Inside the Burglar’s backpack itself, was a portable radio that was tuned into one, Wilhelmina Fitz’s, radio show. There was also a slip of paper with an email address for the pseudonym “Das Kind” on it and the password flowersforbex1967. This pseudonym, Authorities have been able to trace back to an ‘anonymous caller��� of the Siren Sounds Radio show. When asked about said caller, producer, Lisa Cramer, who works on Billie’s show with her, had the following to say, “I remember ‘Das Kind’. They reached out to us over email which isn’t all too out of the ordinary when you work in Radio. They went on and on about how much they loved Billie’s late night show, with its ‘array of classical selections’. You know how fans can be. They requested that she add Beethoven’s 45-minute ‘Hammerklavier’ to the playlist. The request was, in hindsight, a little strange? It was rather detailed... They wanted it to be played at precisely 11:10pm. ‘No later than 11:10′. They repeated it multiple times and had this whole sob story to go along with the request, about how the song was ‘in memory of a long lost love’? But, our listeners eat that kind of sh&* up, so I relayed the request onto Billie before I headed out for the night and, from what I heard, she ended up playing it just as requested at precisely 11:10pm.” 

Beethoven’s 45-minute ‘Hammerklavier’ was the exact song that was reported to be still playing out of the portable radio the HQ Burglar left at the scene of the crime and Sheriff Cavanaugh has reason to believe that the Burglar was using the song to keep track of the time while breaking into the Den given that the backpack also contained a detailed map to the Den (a location that only pack members should be aware of) from Siren Sounds station. The map had markings drawn along the river with timed notes regarding the Sonata’s four movements. The backpack was even lined with a trash bag as if in an attempt to keep the contents inside dry while swimming.

Perhaps the right supernatural could have swam from Sunny Harbor to Echo Acres, sacked the Den and made it back to the station before the song even ended. It would be a perfect alibi for a radio host supposedly "in the booth" during that time frame. This is only speculation, but given that ‘Das Kind’ is german for ‘the Kid’ as in ‘Billy the Kid’ and Sheriff Cavanaugh brought Billie Fitz in for questioning today, it is only safe to assume that the authorities are operating under a similar assumption. 

Billie Fitz will be held for questioning for two days before being convicted. On Friday the 16th, Billie will be able to be released on bail and, unless the charges are dropped, there is a pending Coalition Trial to be held the following week.

REMINDERS

This is our second plot drop in the series of plot drops we will be having this month!

For Pack Members- The Wolf Den is temporarily closed. You will have been alerted of the break in and, starting today, you will have been put on town watch. Although, authorities believe the culprit is now in custody, there is no telling as to whether or not Billie was working alone. So, you have been instructed to guard the Clan HQ & the Coalition HQ to keep an eye out for any future attacks.

For Coven Members- The Witch HQ and Poison Room are still closed, being roped off as part of the crime scene. It looks like you will have to find a different location/meeting point to brew any potions for the foreseeable future and, without the Poison Room, finding ingredients will become far more tedious.

For the Fae Court- A fae has been taken into custody and, although Billie was not a member of the Fae Court, Authorities have chosen to station look outs at the other HQs to prevent any future break ins, but not yours given that the culprit was a fae themselves.

For the Human Coalition- Given that Billie is a lesser fae, the Human Coalition has been tasked with putting together a list of questions for the Authorities to ask Billie while in custody. You have also been all alerted to keep your calendars free for the next few weeks in case authorities rule that this case will be taken to trial.

For the Council- Although Billie Fitz being taken in for questioning for the Break Ins falls under Human Coalition jurisdiction, given that it was the Council Headquarters that were the targets, you have also been gathered to personally question Billie as to why she’s been targeting the Council HQ locations specifically. You have also been tasked to hold a meeting to decide what to do moving forwards in terms of headquarters security etc. Nico, documents from your HQ have been stolen, so this is also an opportunity for you to figure out where they are now.

For Billie Fitz- You are being wrongfully framed for the past two Break Ins and have now been taken into custody. You are allowed visitors as well as phone calls while you are in holding, but all communication with outside parties will be monitored. It’s time to lawyer up and get someone to hopefully bail you out when your release date is set.

These plot drops are not mandatory, so if you’d prefer to not react to the above, you don’t have to. But, we do strongly encourage you to write open or private starters if you so choose. Even if your character doesn’t fit into any of the categories above, there are still break ins occurring around town that your character could be worried about/affected by or are wanting to prove Billie’s innocence etc.

The tag for these plot drops are lunarcoveplotdrop2. If you do react to any of the above, we ask you please tag everything under this tag.

We will be continuing to incorporate our volunteers into posts like these throughout the upcoming weeks.

Last, but not least, we hope you have fun!

BREAKING NEWS - INCOMING PLOT DROP 

Breaking News, Lunar Covians, and hot off the presses- there was an attempted robbery of the Poison Room last night. Authorities have yet to locate the culprit, but thanks to eye witness and Alpha, Nicolás Castillo Alders, they have been able to place the time of the robbery between 11pm to Midnight. Nico had been taking a nightly stroll when he heard the sound of an alarm. He rushed to the shop where he was able to use his enhanced vision to make out a masked figure fleeing the scene of the crime. Only the culprit escaped before he could catch them. Nico headed back to the Poison Room where he ran into the local Sheriff, Lorelai Cavanaugh, and deputy. The three surveyed the building to discover that the Poison Room likely wasn’t the culprit’s target, but that of the Coven Headquarters. The door to the Coven Headquarters had been tampered with and the silent alarm in the store had been tripped. Nothing from the Poison Room itself was taken. But, when the culprit was fleeing the scene, they knocked into one of the store shelves, sending it crashing over with all of the potions the shelf contained having been shattered. The Poison Room and the Coven Headquarters are now closed for the week until the damage can be cleaned up and the Coven HQ’s security measures are reinforced. 

What was not released to the public was how, when surveying the scene, Nico​ discovered the only clue and the lead Sheriff Cavanaugh currently has to attempt to locate whoever is responsible for the attack: a faded coca cola bottle cap. Nico found the bottle cap on the ground beside the knocked over shelf. The cap dates back to 1967 and features a now illegible faded picture of a baseball player on the underside, from an MLB All-Stars promotion that had been running at the time, and curiously enough, the same bottles are on display at Peggy’s Diner and have been used as props during a number of the Pendulum Playhouse performances. 

@nicocastillo, it is up to you as to who you reveal this clue to. You have the choice to have handed it over to the authorities when you initially found it or to have held onto it. You can alert the Council or the pack or both. You can tell whoever you’d like of the findings or you can keep it to yourself. Is it better to have people know so that they can be on the look out or keep this information on a need to know basis as to not alert the culprit that you’re on to them? The choice is yours.

REMINDERS

Given that we have over a month until our next event, we decided that it would be fun to try out a new style of plot drops that aren’t connected to a specific event. 

These plot drops are not mandatory, so if you’d prefer to not react to the above, you don’t have to. But, we do strongly encourage you to write open or private starters if you so choose.

The tag for these plot drops are lunarcoveplotdrop1. If you do react to any of the above, we ask you please tag everything under this tag.

This will also be the first of many plot drops like this throughout the month, so keep an eye out for them. We will be incorporating our volunteers into posts like these throughout the upcoming weeks.

Last, but not least, we hope you have fun!

BREAKING NEWS - INCOMING PLOT DROP #5

The verdict is in! Billie Fitz's fate has been decided from the Human Coalition. She has been declared guilty of the crimes of vandalism and her punishment is as follows: Billie will need to clean up the vandalism and, unlike with Anna and Rangi, will need to pay for the damages of what she broke and or stole. She will also, for the next month, be on house arrest and have community service at the Rec Center (as opposed to Anna and Rangi's five days), starting during the town Renaissance Faire. During the Ren Faire, Billie will be stationed at the photo booth where she must be in her siren form (human/fish hybrid form) for the duration of the weekend. She must also remain on land in this siren form at all times throughout the event. This way she will be able to be easily monitored amongst the crowds, having her own private security during the event, while she performs her community duties of taking photos with Ren Faire goers. Now that the matters of the town break ins are truly behind us, Town Hall has released a statement urging all town goers to look to the future. The Town Renaissance Faire will go on as planned, kicking off the festivities with Fourth of July fireworks on opening day. We look forward to seeing you all there!

REMINDERS

This is our fifth and final plot drop in the series of plot drops we have had this month!

As you OOC know, Billie, Rangi & Anna have all been framed. Although the case has been declared closed, the clan advisor, Kadir Aksoy @moonsongchorus, can't seem to shake that something feels off about the verdicts. Kadir, please keep a lookout for further instructions through the main on how you will catch the true culprit. In the meantime, you can talk to Nico who has a hunch that something is off (for our members- some of you may remember, but Alex & Penn were both winners of our fun OOC predictions survey we conducted during a previous event. As a prize for winning, both Alex & Penn chose for their characters, Nico & Kadir, to be involved in major plot drops. We hope you both enjoy your inclusion in the overall plot and we plan on continuing to have these event prediction surveys in the future where other members have the chance to win fun prizes such as this).

These plot drops are not mandatory, so if you’d prefer to not react to the above, you don’t have to. But, we do strongly encourage you to write open or private starters if you so choose.

The tag for this plot drop is lunarcoveplotdrop5. If you do react to any of the above, we ask you please tag everything under this tag.

If you volunteered for these plot drops and were not selected, we promise your characters will be incorporated into the upcoming plot drops for the event instead.

Our Renaissance Faire event will start on July 7th OOC while spanning over July 4th weekend IC.

Last, but not least, we hope you have fun and we hope you're all looking forward to what we have planned for our upcoming event!

BREAKING NEWS - INCOMING PLOT DROP #3

Billie Fitz didn’t act alone. Despite the Pack standing guard over both the Coalition and Clan Headquarters, two thieves managed to break in, attacking the remaining HQs, outside of that of the Fae Court, last night. Both break ins occurred, once again, between 11p and midnight. But, unlike the previous attacks, these break ins were the acts of petty vandalism. With the insurmountable evidence that was left behind, authorities have been able to declare this case closed, being the works of a group of disgruntled fae who seemed to be unhappy with the Council, outside of their own respective leader that is. Sheriff Cavanaugh refused to comment, but given that both Irirangi Hira and Anna Donnelly were taken into custody today, it seems safe to assume that they were in cahoots with Billie, each targeting their own specie’s locations to vandalize as a show of disgruntled resentment against the current leadership. 

The evidence is as follows...

At a quarter past 11, pack member, Mateo Rivera  ( @moonsongchorus​ ), had been making his rounds around the lawn of the Country Club where he had been keeping an eye on the Clan Headquarters, when he spotted a mask figure fleeing the scene of the crime. The mask was reported to distinctly resemble a full-face respirator. The heavy gas mask had a tinted glass plate, obscuring the upper-half of the individual’s face and vastly differing in appearance from the ski mask that Billie had been supposedly wearing. But, the culprit seemed to make no attempt to conceal their hair. The long brown locks were noted to have been spilling out from beneath the black hoodie they were wearing. Authorities were called shortly after to the scene of the crime where they, and the newly turned wolf, Mateo, found themselves starring face to face at the word ‘Spineless’ that had been spray painted onto the wall. Four surgical gloves with their middle fingers sticking up in a crude gesture had also been secured to the wall of the Country Club using a staple gun. Abandoned on the ground beside the vandalism was an aerosol can of Restor-skin Spray, revealing the word was not made with paint, but rather a spray-on mortuary cosmetic meant to obscure skin imperfections. Upon further examination, the authorities were also able to pin the mask the culprit was wearing to that of an embalmer’s mask that one would wear to protect themselves against fumes while preparing a body. Left behind at the scene of the crime was a small black notebook with a mortuary supply delivery invoice tucked inside the cover. This invoice, signed in Rangi’s name, was shown to be tampered with. White-out and a ballpoint pen had been used to manually change the number of received respirators from 5 to 4 as if to account for one of the respirators that had gone missing. This evidence not only confirmed where the mask the culprit was wearing had come from, but tied Rangi to the crime. Last, but not least, there was a typed note with double-spaces after each period left behind. The note said: We will not be sacrificed by a council of COWARDS.  They are spineless.  No more. Upon examination, the town’s forensic specialist noted that the culprit perhaps first learned to type on a typewriter and not a computer, but that theory was quickly thrown out beneath the insurmountable evidence pointing towards Rangi. The mortician was arrested for the vandalism the following day.

Meanwhile, at the exact same time across town, pack member, Frankie Esposito ( @lunadefresa ),  caught the sight of a figure donning a masquerade mask leaving Town Hall. Frankie chased after them only to loose them the moment they dipped behind the Town Gazebo. The mask was identified as a prop that Anna Donnelly had been rehearsing in from the Pendulum’s upcoming performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream. When Frankie doubled back to the Coalition Headquarters, located in the basement of town hall, she found herself stumbling upon a now destroyed space. Papers were thrown around, the list of question the Coalition had drafted to ask Billie were torn to shreds and it appeared as though the culprit had went at the sofa and all of the surrounding upholstery with a knife. The words ‘Bea won’t, but I will’ were carved across the back of the couch. Could this potentially be alluding to how, as far as rumors go, Anna feels as though she could do a better job as the Fae Queen than Bea?

When authorities appeared at the scene of the crime, they were able to locate the discarded knife used to in-act the petty vandalism. The knife had a gold hilt with a shinning metal blade that seemed similar to, if not identical, to the knives Anna has often been spotted having on her possession. They also found Anna’s On Pitch lanyard that the Culprit appeared to have dropped and a torn corner of a flyer that had musical notes and some of the letters of On Pitch remaining, being enough evidence to bring Anna in as well.

So, what does this mean for the Lunar Covians?

Currently, Anna and Rangi are being held in custody and, given that they are both Fae Court members, the Council is meeting to determine the two fae’s fates with their charges and Billie’s being declared that of petty vandalism. Billie’s bail has now be posted and she will spend the next day awaiting the verdict of the Coaltion’s decision for the consequences of her actions, where she will likely, as a non Fae Court member, be dealt a far worse fate than the other two culprits.

REMINDERS

This is our third plot drop in the series of plot drops we will be having this month! The last two plot drops before the event will take place in the next few days, so please keep on the lookout for that.

For Pack, Coven, Clan & Coalition Members- You organization headquarters have now been reopened and your leaders are calling for volunteers to help clean up their respective hangout spaces.

For the Fae Court- With the town and the Sheriff’s department feeling as though they made the right call choosing not to station guards outside of the Fae Court, and with two of your members now in custody, how will you respond?

For the Human Coalition- Billie is going to trial. All members of the Human Coalition have been sequestered for the next few days in preparation to decide Billie’s fate (more instructions on this will be given in the next plot drop to come tomorrow). In the meantime, you will be able to have outside communication, but any conversations with visitors or phone calls you may have will be monitored to guarantee that the case at hand is not being discussed with outside parties members outside of the Coalition.

For the Council- The Council has been gathered once more to determine the fates of Rangi and Anna given that this falls under Council jurisdiction. 

For Billie Fitz- You have now been released on house arrest. You have been advised by your lawyers to go home and not make any statements on the matter at hand until the verdict from the Coalition has been made.

For Anna Donnelly & Rangi Hira- The two of you have also been wrongfully framed for the Break Ins and have now been taken into custody. You are allowed visitors as well as phone calls while you are in holding, but all communication with outside parties outside of the Fae Court will be monitored. Luckily, for you, though, as members of the Fae Court, any communication with other Fae Court members will not be monitored. Your Fae Queen, Bea Ramos, will act as your representative and the Council will decide your fate in the next day, so you will only be in custody for 24 hours.

These plot drops are not mandatory, so if you’d prefer to not react to the above, you don’t have to. But, we do strongly encourage you to write open or private starters if you so choose. Even if your character doesn’t fit into any of the categories above, there are still plenty for your character to react to/be affected by.

The tag for this plot drop is lunarcoveplotdrop3. If you do react to any of the above, we ask you please tag everything under this tag.

We will be continuing to incorporate our volunteers into posts like these throughout the upcoming weeks.

Last, but not least, we hope you have fun!

BREAKING NEWS - INCOMING PLOT DROP #4

The Council's decision is in. For those of you who haven't been keeping up with the local news, over the past few weeks, every Supernatural Headquarters outside of the Fae Court have been broken into and vandalized. Today, Sheriff Cavanaugh finally released a statement declaring the case of the HQ Break Ins closed. The Culprits were a group of disgruntled fae, being made up by Wilhelmina Fitz, Anna Donnelly and Irirangi Hira. With the culprits caught, the Council met to deliberate. The Council has decided that, given the Break Ins were the acts of petty vandalism and no one was hurt, they would let Anna Donnelly and Irirangi Hira, the two fae court members, off with community service. Anna and Rangi will be responsible for cleaning up their respected vandalism and be on clean duty during the upcoming event, spanning the duration of five days of community service each in total. They have now been released and are allowed to return home. This also means that, with the case now closed, the Council has decided to go forwards with the town Renaissance Faire as planned. Anna and Rangi will be expected to don in-theme attire as they pick up after the rest of the town goers at the Ren Faire as punishment. Billie Fitz's fate, on the other hand, rests with the Human Coalition. With the Council letting both Anna and Rangi off the hook with community service, they recommend the same fate for Billie. But, it is up to you to decide. The Human Coalition can chose to give Billie the same fate as the other fae or a more severe fate up to their own making, but they are not allowed to give her a punishment less severe than the punishment given to Anna and Rangi. What punishment will you choose for Billie?
