[WORLD TWO | START SEQUENCE INITIATED[

SH*T GETTING REAL


▢ On Saturday, a semi-eviction process is going to start going into effect -- but not the usual one that other bums may have to deal with when they don't pay up.

▢ Instead, coven members will be forcibly taken in for questioning, brought down to the location Vern and Gier found when following the monitors. They can go kicking and screaming, comply with the scenario, run away -- the exactly options will be more discussed on the log post itself! Just know you aren't stuck with just being led away like a damsel in distress.

▢ No matter your character's reaction, we need to know whether or not they'd be involved at all -- and that's your decision! If you want to volunteer for your character to be taken in for questioning -- and perhaps something worse -- you have to sign up! All you have to do is respond to this post. There are a few things you need to know that may change your mind on signing up:

- Characters won't just be down there for a day or 48 hours.
- Those who volunteer for "capture" will be involved with a metaplot involving finding Qri and potentially escaping Shehui -- whether by eviction or by being magicked away. This does not mean characters who aren't taken are totally locked out of the plot by any means, just that taken characters will have a direct access to part of the ordeal.
- Being taken doesn't mean you're committing to being a kidnapping victim! Again, you can say that your character managed to use magic to escape the monitors taking them away (they will have equipment that makes this hard, of course), or something else. Being on the list just means that your character was selected to be taken, not that they can't find a way out of the situation! However, if your character is actually taken to the underground area, getting out won't be easy once they are there.
- In that same vein, characters who aren't taken will have the opportunity to search for them, as well as get involved in potentially trying to bust the other characters out of lockup. Is it doable? Stay tuned!
- There are an unlimited number of characters that can sign up for being taken, but only a portion will be selected if the number exceeds 15-20. The monitors/Shehui government won't take in the entire coven; they know there is strength in numbers, and further probing and testing is better done in smaller numbers. Thus, if 30 characters respond, 1/3 of the game isn't going to be abducted. In fairness, there will be a random list of those who are taken for questioning on the log. If you do volunteer a character, just be prepared to have them on the list regardless of if they are or not.
- Also, signups aren't limited to just those who are easily suspected. All characters have some merit when it comes to in-depth questioning (and more), so don't be scared to toss them into the fray!

▢ Feel free to ask questions in your volunteer comment, but be aware more info about the logistics, setting and length will be available on the log for this on Saturday, as well as the regular weekly post!
