PLOTTING - Monster Souls
There's been a lot of talk about souls and the notion of reality in the tower--what is there, what isn't, and how that manifests with the soul itself--and it is rather interesting that the monsters are some of the only real constructs around. After offering help for something completely different, Rick has recently come to know that Kid Sephiroth is working on a bestiary, and he'd like to help out further by absorbing a monster's soul so he can shift into it. Shenanigans ensue, and your character(s) can be a part of them if you so choose!
This plot will take place over the course of a week, approximately from August 1st--8th. I hope to split it into two parts:
Part One: The Hunt
Rick will contact Kid Sephiroth a few days after the resolution of the raid on Jason's lab/collar boycott repercussions to posit his idea (the prompt). It will be a locked network post; however, either party could invite close CR or other relevant individuals to help out, and given Rick's history with using filters, we could arrange for technically-minded people to hack the thread and figure out what's going on that way, too. A small group (ten characters at most) will be organized from the volunteers, and a few days later will mobilize at night to hunt down and cripple a monster for Rick to bond with. Since they'll be wading through pretty dangerous areas in the tower before an appropriate target has been found (the species has already been determined), character death is likely here. After the monster is felled, the remaining group will need to defend the area while Rick initiates bonding, which will take several minutes. In total, this part should run ICly from August 1st--3rd, into the morning of the 4th.

Part Two: Aftermath
Needless to say, the bonding isn't going to go exactly to plan. I don't want to spoil too much, HOWEVER, this part will affect characters who have close bonds to people outside the Tower. Rick will actively seek out these characters (as a human, mind) and will know intimate details about their relationships, but will consistently twist discussions about them around that character's greatest fears. This will continue until the administrators get involved--either through Rick's death, someone pointing it out to the admins personally, or at the natural resolution of the plot on the 8th (when they notice something's gone amiss). If you want to sign up for this part, post below and please include:
- character's close, out-of-Tower relationships (including CR with characters that left the Tower and are no longer present and AU versions of characters that are currently here), and as many personal details about them as possible;
- character's greatest fears, either about those relationships or in general, and;
- if your character is telepathic/can read minds/has similar mental abilities, since they might find out something interesting. :3
I'll try to arrange this part in a party-post fashion, but if you want me to hop in on a thread you're doing instead (or some other arrangement involving multiple individuals), don't hesitate to poke me (say, on Plurk) about it! I figure this part can be fairly flexible.
Happy plotting, lovelies!

EDIT: I just noticed that Mitchell can hack! If it makes more sense ICly, would you rather him spy in on Rick's post to Sephiroth, when it happens, and go from there?
Wrong account same guy.
