OOC Plot Discussion [Sep 2020]

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:
- September mod investigations/questions where we've been getting/pursuing most of the clues
- 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!

intro log/https://pokespe.dreamwidth.org/493.html?thread=836845#cmt836845
- "There are talks of strong Pokemon trainers having headed out into the storm to try and get help from other towns, most of them quickly forced to turn back, and others— whether they were lost at sea or managed to break through— never heard from since."
- The storm seems to worsen when people try to escape the island. Sagi and Minato were targeted by lightning when they tried.

- The Legendaries most prominently featured in library books include: Moltres, Articuno, Zapdos, Lugia, Ho-oh, Kyogre, Groudon, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Tornadus, Thundurus, Landorus, Xernea, adn Yveltal. Lugia can cause 40 day storms with a flap of its wings. The myths they're involved with are considered common knowledge, and pcs can handwave knowing these myths if they're the sort to ask about them or read the books.
- There are no statues or ruins honoring the Legendary Pokemon in Toran; they are not worshipped as gods.
- The storm was at its worst 1) when Minato and Nanami first arrived, and 2) when everybody else arrived. During this time, it was also very windy.

- a Blue Orb is needed to summon Kyogre. It is located in Mt Pyre and heck if anybody knows how to get there
