[Seasons] De-hibernation Plot Brainstorming Post!

[sangreine]

Hey EllipsaFam!

For those not aware, Saya has approximately a year until her 30 year hibernation starts, after which she'll have total amnesia. Obviously, this sucks. She'd like to not do that anymore. That's where you come in! I'll be doing a longer term plot to help get rid of Saya's hibernation-amnesia cycle, which will involve several characters and their powers/abilities as well as several failures before succeeding. The mods have said I can plot out what I want to do so that's what we're doing here. I want to involve as many characters as would like to be involved, so let's plot some shit!

Be aware that anything we plot is subject to mod approval so things might have to get tweaked some.

Here's what I want to do:


Part 1: FETCH QUESTS
I want to do several quests (as many as are interesting and people want to do!) where Saya + whoever all go out and get ~rare magic items~ (which we can make up as long as the mods approve it!) that can be used to help fix her hibernation problem. These should be difficult to get for maximum fun. Here's what I want to know from you:

+ What powers and abilities does your character have that can be used for a cool fetch quest? (ie, can they breathe underwater? Can they enhance the magic inside things? Whatever you think would be fun!)
+ Do you have any ideas for magical things that could stop a hibernation or allow someone to keep their memories that sound sufficiently awesome to find and collect?

Part 2: We're doing MAGIC-SCIENCE, BABY!
Saya will want to involve the Research Center and also anyone who has experience with science or magic to help tweak her body so she has no more need to hibernate. DNA experts and scientists of all kids are welcome, as well as anyone who has powers or abilities that you want to play with! I'm totally open to creativity here. But be aware that there will be at least two failures before success. The Nintendo Three, if you will. If you want to participate in this part your character has to be open to trying again even after there are some Consequences for Saya after attempts which don't work.

+ What Sciencey Stuff your character can do that we could use for this?
+ What materials from either Saya (blood and tissue samples) or from fetch quests would be necessary and/or cool to use for this?
+ CLICK HERE to leave a comment for science plotting!


Part 3: MURDER FRIENDS and other consequences
Saya has a berserker mode that she will be worried about activating with the cure attempts. (I haven't decided whether that will happen or not.) ICly she will want Badass people present when they attempt the hibernation fixes, just in case she goes out of control and needs to be contained. These people will need to be prepared to kill her if necessary and she will make that clear.

Failure consequences I am considering:
+ Saya goes to sleep for a short while and wakes up with amnesia, which she recovers from in a couple of days
+ Extreme Bloodthirst for a day or two
+ Weakness and general loss of her abilities for a little bit, which makes her need constant touch
+ MAYBE berserker mode?! Depends what people want to mess with.
+ CLICK HERE to be involved in any of these!!

THANKS FRIENDS! Looking forward to running this plot ♥

Your name: Li
Character name Yuri
Powers and Abilities you want to use: all of them. Look, you know me, you know him, I'm at work and I'm gonna cheat ✨
Ideas for items, monsters, adventure info: (optional but appreciated!) Watch this space and or I'll comment another comment later to add it with more braining

Re: MURDERFRIENDS and other Consequences

[at_heart]

Your name: Li
Character name: still Yuri
Abilities which will help contain a berserk vampire queen: see again re: cheating
Willing to agree to murder y/n: Yep! He will owe her one by this point probs after Knives stuff I MEAN WHAT I said nothing. He's also up for being the one to actually pull the trigger if someone else has mostly beaten her down but is struggling or would be more wounded by doing it.
Other failure consequences you'd want to be involved in: Pls let him help egg mode Saya again with a temporary total amnesia thing. I am also extremely volunteering him for helping Extreme Bloodlust. It's what his Spread Stick is for, but he'd be disappointed if she didn't also tap the vein directly.

Re: MURDERFRIENDS and other Consequences

[fairlyheroic]

Your name: Cass
Character name: Zack Fair
Abilities which will help contain a berserk vampire queen: big ol' strong enhanced SOLDIER, he's pretty strong, also might have magic to help depending on regains and such
Willing to agree to murder y/n: Y :(
Other failure consequences you'd want to be involved in: i am down for anything tbh

[grievances]

Your name: LiLi
Character name: Khaalida
Abilities which will help contain a berserk vampire queen: she can manipulate and control the shadows of others and is generally a talented warrior who can beat ass. Idk if her necromancy and ability to yank people's souls out matters but also that lol.
Willing to agree to murder y/n: Yes
Other failure consequences you'd want to be involved in: Extreme bloodthirst. In that same vein (get it), Lunari have magical blood that Khaalida could be convinced to offer if it'll quell the urge for a little longer. The only problem with all of this re: Khaalida is that she does nothing for free, but she's willing to negotiate.

[wildwarden]

Your name: LiLi
Character name Night Sky
Powers and Abilities you want to use: she can't do anything magic related but she's very fast and can climb really well, so if something needs to be Indiana Jones'd out she can do it! Also, she's a very good tracker.
Ideas for items, monsters, adventure info: (optional but appreciated!) I'll get back to you on this!!! I probs have ideas that could work.

Re: FETCH QUEST PLOTTING!

[kaientai]

Your name: min
Character name Sakamoto Ryouma
Powers and Abilities you want to use:

WELL. She has Oryou cr so it might be neat if he finally gets to use his Noble Phantasm and let Oryou go dragon mode for something hehe (but run this by Mini it's just a thought!)
As a Rider, he can ride or drive anything and has Servant-level abilities, so if there's any need for that, it's a thought.
Also in general, exploration and problem-solving and the like is in his wheelhouse big time.

Ideas for items, monsters, adventure info: (optional but appreciated!) Unsure at the moment since he doesn't have any particularly interesting items or knowledge or anything, but I can probably add some ideas to what other's are working with.

[essenceborn]

Your name: Dolly
Character name Nenonen
Powers and Abilities you want to use: Nen does magic!!! That's all they've got...sob But they will use water/snow/seeing in the dark to the best of their ability to find stuff that might help her.
Ideas for items, monsters, adventure info: (optional but appreciated!)
maybe something like those THOUSAND-YEAR CARP elixirs that you get from legendary creatures in cultivator novels??? idk I'm sorry ;u;

[fiorello]

Your name: nilla
Character name kenta
Powers and Abilities you want to use: his Extremely Babey Powers. ... but seriously he'd just use his spring powers to help miss saya as best he can ;u;
Ideas for items, monsters, adventure info: (optional but appreciated!) i don't have anything specific off the top of my head, but kenta's caretaker/tutor back home did a lot of explorin and told kenta about a bunch of weird shit he's found, so i'm sure kenta would be able to suggest something, like an ingredient for a potion or smth

[erschlagen]

Your name: Ariel
Character name Rosenkrantz
Powers and Abilities you want to use: He has a whole list of fire-related skills and abilities at his fingertips along with the Lúin of Celtchar, a fabled fiery spear said to be wielded by Ireland's most notable heroes. In addition, he possesses the Power of Vainglory that ultimately makes him immortal and almost unkillable except for several very serious draw backs.
Ideas for items, monsters, adventure info: (optional but appreciated!) I will get back to you on this idea here. I have to do some research regarding various McGuffins that exist within Irish mythology and the likes.

[erschlagen]

Your name: Ariel
Character name: Rosenkrantz
Abilities which will help contain a berserk vampire queen: Every single last ability he has within his very wide roster. He has battled Saya before and thus knows quite a bit regarding his queen's abilities.
Willing to agree to murder y/n: Probably, not since Rosen is so closely tied to Saya. He will definitely try his best to contain Saya but killing her is something he wouldn't and couldn't do.
Other failure consequences you'd want to be involved in: I'm honestly down for anything to happen between them, just because I'm curious to see where this all leads.

[darkdisgrace]

Your name: Alisa
Character name: Chuuya Nakahara
Abilities which will help contain a berserk vampire queen: he can manipulate the force of gravity on anything he touches!
Willing to agree to murder y/n: murder is part of his career choice back home so yes. Bring him on for his questionable morals, keep him around for the surprising amount of sympathy he has for Saya going berserk mode.
Other failure consequences you'd want to be involved in: any and all! Chuuya is going to start questioning his life choices but his hometown got a bit mauled by a vampire apocalypse okay.

[sangreine]

So I'm thinking, maybe Night Sky finds something in the forest that she thinks might be of use to Saya (after Saya, you know, gets around to telling her the problem/mission). She'd be the ideal person to find a secret thing.

IDK I'm shit with creativity, so I welcome any ideas on the subject!

From below: I'm tentatively thinking one like "this thing never sleeps" piece, one "this is an an ancient wisdom that has eternal memory" bit, one "this will render things more stable" part, and maybe a "this will fix brain illnesses" deal.

SO YEAH I WELCOME YOUR CREATIVE THINKIES.

[sangreine]

I guess the item she needs is guarded by a MAGIC BEAST then! Which only a dragon and her husband can kill! Seems reasonable to me. :3

I'm not sure what Servant abilities are or what Oryou can do in full dragon, so if I know that maybe I can give some options!

[kaientai]

oh yeah that would help, huh? lmao
mostly Servant abilities means he is stronger and harder to kill because his body is made of magic. Basically as long as you don't destroy their Saint Graph (which is basically their core or soul in this context) they won't die.

Oryou in full dragon form can fly and in general she can shape shift and her saliva has healing properties.

[sangreine]

I LIKE THE CARP IDEA actually, I was thinking of like some really old deep sea creature in the giant ocean lake in the middle of the summer segment. Sharks never sleep and all that.

[sangreine]

Saya has all those abilities herself, HOWEVER if I can come up with a quest dangerous enough it would be really nice to bring along people/dragons who just can't die.

[sangreine]

I will take all suggestions for ingredients! I'm tentatively thinking one like "this thing never sleeps" piece, one "this is an an ancient wisdom that has eternal memory" bit, one "this will render things more stable" part, and maybe a "this will fix brain illnesses" deal.

VERY open to suggestions for flora or fauna that might be fun for those!

[sangreine]

She's counting on taking her precious servant out hunting with her! They can quest and look for rare magic shit at the same time.

[sangreine]

All of this is approved! We've already chatted some about this so yeah we good.

I think I'll do one failure that has sleeping for a day and then extreme bloodlust + needs constant touch when she wakes, and one failure that's berserker mode + egg again when she revives. BEST OF ALL WORLDS.

[sangreine]

Telling Zack about this will break her heart, but yeah she'll do it. I'll make it happen soon-ish since she doesn't want him finding out some other way (like say if Knives turns her evil just you know as a hypothetical).

[sangreine]

I absolutely approve of Saya meeting another warrior who can beat ass! And having someone not that emotional about Saya herself will be a benefit actually. Saya can and will pay her.

It'll be weird to have CR that doesn't involve sex...

[sangreine]

Rosen ;;;;

Li and I were chatting and we think it'd be fun to have Chuuya (below) and possibly Khaalida (above) hold Saya down and then Rosen can't kill her so Yuri steps in to do it for him. I am here for that drama and happy to give Rosen and Yuri this chance for interesting CR!

Saya will be telling Rosen about all this history probably in the house thread once she gets done hanging on him. She'll probably tell him to come see the bedroom he'll be staying in with her when he stays over and while in there she'll tell him and then probably lay on him a while. ♥
