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:
- 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!

at least one legendary pokemon is causing the storm. there may be more than one, causing it to be such an enduring shitshow - lugia and its 40-day typhoons, zapdos and its power over whirlpools and currents, kyogre and the endless rain have all been brought up icly

there's currently no way to stop it while remaining on toran, but there may be clues to stopping it in future locations.

the best clue to figuring out what parties are in play here is the volcanic lava sand and rising water level in the NW, suggesting the new emergence of a volcano, but this would not exactly be the source of the storm, so i don't know which direction is best for that.

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 (':
