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!

- Who or what is causing the storm?
- Is there any way to stop the storm?
- Where would you head to confront the source?

Legendary pokemon are causing the storm.

Not right now, no. Unless we smuggle illegal castforms or rare candy someone to learn sunny day.

... I honestly don't know about the third part. Maybe one of the other islands?

Signs point towards Legendary Pokemon! Definitely not a natural storm.

Haki, why do the Castforms have to be smuggled in illegally............... Y'all can submit bonus activity and hope for hundreds of rare candies, but it'll take a lot of candy and a lot of Pokemon to Sunny Day the entire island for longer than an hour! Maintenance is a full time job without getting to the root of the problem.

Look.... in Itaru's thread, the breeders or whoever were like "lol good luck catching a castform," so i assumed they weren't available

But yeah, I don't think it's doable to stop the storm right now. With the volcano and flooding approaching, we're considering that evacuation has to be a thing, but lightning strikes will be hard to stop even if they have Mudkips for Whirlpools. Considered making hsy's Cramorant to throw Pikachu at it with lightning rod abilities, but. Lol.

Also rip daycare??

Castform are pretty rare! Maybe those breeders or whoever were very sincerely wishing him good luck

Projectile Pikachus could work... Akechi also has a Pikachu, and there are other ways to fend off lightning! eg in Minato's and Sagi's thread at sea, Yamask uses Protect to block the lightning. They'll have to figure out a way to survive the ???hr journey across sea O:

haha rip daycare

What if it were just a shitshow of a dozen Legendaries going at each other---- At this point, the identity of the Lengendary(ies) don't matter as much as that it's not possible to stop while remaining on Toran.

So they know something big and powerful is behind the storms and that they cannot stop it, and also don't know where it is. In that case, any direction is as good as any other, considering leaving the island in any direction means the storm gods are going to zap you out of the water (':

Considering the volcanic lava sand and rising water level in the northwest... Would you (general you, everybody reading this thread you) want to head towards it or away from it?

save yourself and doom the island, fingerguns

No matter where you guys decide to go next month, the consequences will be fun to write (':
