OOC Plot Discussion [Sep 2020]

[scension]

Hi friends! Since this game is shaping up to be about the players slowly solving the plot mysteries as well as the characters, and because things have been kind of rapidfire up till now, a couple of us figured that a post to collect our OOC thoughts on the various current mysteries might be useful. This is a post! Please use it for whatever you like - suggesting your own theories, suggesting stuff that your own character might not pursue for whatever reason but other characters might, a place to plot next steps if you prefer it to plurk or discord, it really doesn't matter /o/

Potentially relevant links:

- most recent IC meeting log
- current IC common knowledge cheat sheet courtesy of Haki
- bonus activity submission page including the plot clues given as rewards
(tell me to link something else here and i'll do it)

I have put in some toplevels just for organisational purposes but feel free to make your own or go without!

NORTHWESTERN BEACH

So I've got a log up with Akechi and Fai for this, but Rhel found out about some weird black sand on the beach. I'm wondering if it's magnetic, but Rhel won't think to check that sort of thing.

Also concerned it's bone but

I think Fai would check it! Even if it's just to rule it out.

He could also tell if it's bone, if that's needed!

- The tide gets higher every day. The water level seems to be slightly higher on the northwest side.
- The northwest beach is largely deserted compared to the rest of the beaches around the island.

- At the northwest beach, the sand is rougher and in some places appear almost black, best seen at low tide.
- The black sand does not feel Weird or Odd, the Pokemon do not react to it in any way, but it feels heavier than sand from other parts of the beach.

- The rain doesn't sweep from one side of the island to the other, but rather, rain clouds seem permanently in place overhead and it just rains harder or lighter. The difference in the beaches is possibly due to the waves, or the island sinking.
