This is the place for the writers to discuss potential plot ideas for the RPG. Please keep in mind that these are only suggestions of the players and that a majority of the players must agree to an idea before it goes into effect. If it is a plot that directly involves a character, then the player of that character can decide if it's what they want to happen. Please keep things civil and be respectful of ideas your fellow players may come up with. Remember, this is a fun, stress-free place. Keep things on the topic of plots in this thread so that players don't have to weed through off topic posts. If you have a plot idea that you think will need a lot of discussion, you may create a new thread in the RPG Out of Character Discussions board.

Okay everyone, how shall we do this? When are we going to have this take place? Lee-o will be playing Wash so we need to either have it happen before the events of "Serenity" or pretend that Whedon didn't drive a big gorram metal pole through our favorite funny guy's heart.
I know we're still missing players for many of the canon character so I'd be willing to help out when one of your characters needs to interact with them until they are picked up by someone.

I know, evil Joss!
Everyone, we need to get some plot discussions going on this. First off, should this take place after the events of "Serenity"? Just pretend that Wash (and possibly Book but not necessarily) are still with us?

I'd say after the events of Serenity, minis Wash not dying. I'd like to see us come up with our own things and just have fun with it.

Agreed. Not sure what we should be about Book. Maybe just not mention him? Also, how long after "Serenity"?
Anybody have any ideas for an event? Some kind of job or travel to a planet with potential jobs or a planet to restock or an ally needing help (if there were any the Operative left alive or barely alive)?

See, that's why I would vote for before "Serenity" but after "Objects in Space." The film just changed way too much about their situation (River's okay now, allies being wiped out by the Operative, the Alliance having to deal with uppity populations). Just trying to make things easier on us.

Hmm. That's a good idea, Kristi. And instead do our own thing instead of what happened in the movie. They had a lot of things to work out after "Objects in Space"... River making it clear to everyone that she knows they're not sure about having her around & her just tapping into more of her abilities, Simon having to face how much he does care about Kaylee after the things Early threatened to do to her, Kaylee dealing with the emotional trauma Early caused, Inara's plans on leaving, Mal dealing with that, & Jayne dealing with the trauma of missing out on a good fight & sleeping through it all, lol!

Yes, I like starting it after Objects in Space, too! Jayne will be very put out that he missed all the fun.

Heidi maybe we should do one of those polls like we did for the lost section? See what everyone wants to do?

Post by Hollywood Heidi on May 31, 2012 22:09:29 GMT -8
Well, I would but what would the poll questions be? Seems everyone is good with starting after "Objects in Space". We just need to start talking about what we're going to have them do. Do we have a job in mind or something? Should we just start immediately right after "Objects in Space" and start off with dealing with what just happened? We could do that and keep talking here to figure out what our plot will be.

We'll go with that, vote on jobs XD
I think we should start of right at the end of Objects in space, so everyone has to deal with what just happened.

Sounds good but where's everyone else? We'd love to have the rest of the players jump in! Let's get to talking to we can get to RPing!

Didn't know where else to put this, but Ghanima will need a ship to travel on, so whoever's willing to take on a Companion, let me know. She'll be on Sihnon, making plans to leave that rock.

Hey all! The player for River won't be able to be online today so I'm going to edit my Inara post a little. I needed to anyway because I didn't realize we still had Zoe stitching up Simon. So I'll go do a quick edit and then a new post.

Yeah, I had to rewatch "Objects in Space" to remind myself how it ended.
And I think the Shadowheart might have a coupla' vacancies. What do you think, Cap'n Madison?

Yeah i'm sure we can fit more on board, the Knorr is designed for 3 but the upgraded version can fit about 4-5 Right now we have a ghost Mechanic (since i don't have anyone playing him/her yet - The mechanic will be sleeping in the Engine room) The male companion is leaving anyways, so Ghanima is more then welcome to come aboard. We'll just have Madison coming by Sihonon to drop him off ^_^ and pick her up?

I picture that Madison has an okay relationship with the house, because she studied at Sihonon before she realized being a companion wasn't for her; many moons ago of course lol

Yeah, Ghani kind of didn't have much choice since it's a family tradition to go into Companion training. She likes her job though, but she definitely wants to not be confined to Sihnon forever. And being on a ship will give her the mobility she wants/needs.
...One of these days I need to create a male Companion.

Yeah Madison wasn't given much choice either, but she left when she turned eighteen. Madison likes strong women and wants to give them independence, so it works.

I'm going to skip ahead for Shadowheart and put them on Sihnon now - that way Brittany can join us She's been waiting patiently. Do we have any objections? Should it be just after the wedding?

ATTN: Pickett's crew and Jax! Been talking to J and we're going to start off with "present day" on Wendy and Jax meeting up with Pickett and his crew. We'll do the flashbacks along the way every now and again. We need to figure out how we're going to get Wendy and Jax to cross paths with Pickett and his crew. Maybe Wendy is on another mission and Pickett and his crew happen to be on the same planet in the same bar or wherever. Wendy could be there meeting with an important Alliance member, gathering info for the Resistance (or whatever the official term is for the Browncoats and those against the Alliance, can't remember right now and i'm in a hurry. The Alliance doesn't know that Wendy has been secretly working against them. Maybe Pickett was tracking this important Alliance guy? Or J, should it be Alexander that she's meeting up with to be briefed on her next mission and Pickett's been tracking Alexander? If so, could be that Pickett and his crew unknowingly walked into a hornet's nest of Alliance members. Either way, I was thinking that she decides to save Pickett and his crew in a way that exposes that she's been hiding the fact she has the ability to do more than the Alliance knows about. I don't think they should know that she's working against them; at least not yet. So she ends up on the run and the Alliance wants her found so they can study her to figure out where they went right with their experiments. I'm sure they're pissed as all hell that they'd actually been successful in some areas and she'd led them to believe all their experiments had been failures. Lots of wasted years and delving into more extreme experimentation trying to reach success like poor River had to go through. Jax, always being somewhere nearby in case something like this ever happened, can be with her as they head off on Pickett's ship. The Alliance doesn't have to know Jax's involvement so he can continue with being a Companion and they don't have to know that Wendy is on Pickett's ship. Wendy could take off before Pickett and his crew take off and as far as the Alliance knows, Pickett and Wendy despise each other. Maybe it's Alexander that has a suspicion she may be with Pickett but we can deal with that later. Just wanted to work out how they team up. Thoughts? Ideas?

I think that sounds good to me. Jax always takes clients wherever Wendy tends to have a mission or whatever, so he could either be with Wendy at the bar or just coming back from meeting his client when they run into Pickett. Also, side note, I'm in the process of moving, so I might be a little scarce for a few days. I'll try to get on as much as I can until I'm settled, but I can't promise anything.

I'm liking what I'm hearing, I think it'll work. How about Pickett is on New Melbourne to sell the cargo and possibly take on passengers, when the Alliance member and his cronies notice something mildly suspicious, like the cargo is similar to what was taken in a reported theft or something. Pickett being Pickett, he thinks they're going to take him down for all his anti-Alliance stuff and over-reacts in a very shooty way and then shit gets real.
Heidi, according to the comics, Browncoats after the war are called Dust Devils and are considered terrorists. Zoe was one, Mal surprisingly wasn't. It's a thing.
