WILL YOU HELP SAVE THE WORLD?

Mask or Menace is a panfandom urban 'superhero' genre DWRP game, where heroes, villains, and everyone in between seek to survive and thrive in a world loosely parallel to our own.

[ When the camera turns on, there is a young, prepossessed woman of middling twenties, sitting in simple, but stately robes and her hair done in ornate loops and curls. It's taken her some time to think about how she wanted to approach this, especially after Anakin threw himself into this new network last night. Before. ]

Good morning,

My name is Padmé Amidala, and I am newly arrived here. I have been informed that I've come here before, both earlier and later in my life, as well as that I held office for a long tenure as representative for one of your cities. I do not remember the days I've spent here, and I apologize for the complications and any hurt that may arrive with that.

[ She's still very much on the fence about how much she wants to find. Torn between her ingrained training to prepare herself with as much information as possible, in case of any situation she might find herself in, and that of whether she should know all that might still be coming for her future if these other persons were indeed some version of herself she would still grow into.

The weight of a known or unknown future. Whether that changes it.
The freedom to still experience her to-come tribulations and triumphs first hand. ]

I do welcome contact from anyone who knew me in times before. I understand that it will take time and will require much delicacy, but I would very much like to hear from you if you are willing. I would also love to learn as much as I can about the governance of this new world that it sounds as I was very passionate about.

[ Again, and always. Drawn to that stage. To the representation and protection of others.

But now to somewhere that wasn't Naboo, or for Naboo, that wasn't remembered, but somewhere, somewhen, she'd forged a deep enough connection to this place, that she rose to challenge of serving these people of as her own, too, even if she couldn't remember those circumstances that lead her to such feelings.]

secondjade

[ It has taken Lan Wangji a while to figure out how to use his communicator, and he only really started the attempt once he decided it might be of use to him. So he hasn’t been paying attention to the network, much. Forgive him. Now, though, he has questions that he cannot divine the answers to himself.

He needs a basis of knowledge here that he just doesn’t have.

He doesn’t know how to lock this from Wei Wuxian so he... just hopes the man doesn’t see it. ]

Questions:

Inner power - cultivated or gifted?

If cultivated: remains the same from home?

If given: boon or bane?

If granted a curse, is cure to be found?

Further questions:

How long imprisoned without dungeon or whip? Freedom only through chance - any hope of choice?

Availability of lotus seeds?

Best wine?

[Things have been going to absolute shit lately, and no, Nox is not above noticing. He's spent the bulk of his time so far investigating the strange ruins that keep appearing, but having satisfied his curiosity on that front, he's going to go and get his good deeds for the month out of the way.]

Anyone not busy running damage control as reality seems to be trying its best to tear itself apart- where is help needed most?

[He could try to figure this out on his own, but time tends to be of the essence in these sorts of situations. And seeing as how all the strange phenomena seems to be widespread, well... better to just start asking.]

As far as I've been able to determine there's no single source for any of this mayhem, so I'll be dedicating my time to wherever additional help is needed most. Anyone dealing with strange ghostly phenomena or the dead not staying that way- both are familiar enough situations. The latter may have different effects, but the disease itself seems to follow similar patterns of transmission as the Rakghoul Plague from my own galaxy. As such, I'm more than familiar with how to best deal with it.

[He's not trying to hide his identity over the network anymore since at this point he's confident enough that no one's going to try murdering him immediately, but. That does add in the additional factor of whether or not anyone's going to willingly seek or accept help from someone with Darth in their name.]

codeoracle

[Oracle is on your airwaves, using a voice distortion to make a call on all imPorts.]

Seeing the posts here, we have all received some form of message. A cipher. I want to decode it. We need to.

What message have you received?

[OOC EDIT: Per the recent OOC Mod Post, and a response to my question to them on plurk, the thread that previously held the solution and discussion about it has been deleted. I apologize to those that had commented in these threads, but this post's aim is to begin the IC discussion process. I look forward to future posts that will reflect the solution in game!]

crypdick

[ It's traditional, when asking simple, broad questions to the Network to do so in a text post but that's not nearly melodramatic enough for the Outsider.

He's in the desert in the outskirts of Jeopardy, night has fallen and he's looking not at the communicator but up at the stars. There's some faeries nearby he's bribed to leave him alone with pizza, but they make it cold enough you can see his breath glittering on the air. ]

The places you come from are varied, where even the things that you take for granted may be different here, or for other imPorts. Even this reality is changing week to week.

With that in mind, I have a question for you.

[ Now he turns to look at the comm, eyes empty and black. He tilts his head. ]

What do you think makes a god a god?

(( And regular reminder that if you respond with video, you are completely free to include a vision for him to see if you want! ))

photophobic

[In the year and a half or so since his arrival, Kylo's discovered plenty of native customs and practices he enjoys- one of them being the frankly obscene indulgence of a very, very long shower. He's used up all the hot water on plenty of occasions.

But he's only very recently been introduced to bubble baths.

After a long day of hard work, there's nothing better than to sink into the richly foamed water to relax... and then scroll idly through the network, looking for the right flavour of trouble. And if there's nothing suitably provocative immediately available, if there's nothing he feels like responding to, or it's simply a slow night? Well, he's certainly not above starting a fight.
Thankfully (?) he won't be inflicting a video feed of himself sprawled comfortably in the tub on the imPort community at large, only this:]

Explain it to me.
How so many of you can be content in the belief that a person should be judged solely by what is seen of their actions, as if intention and circumstance count for nothing.

jadus

[Jadus is standing somewhere in the Jeopardy desert, his featureless mask glinting in the sunlight. His voice is as calm and emotionless as ever.]

It is clear that many are blind to our situation. Many may find a digest of current knowledge useful.

( [A general-purpose primer on the metaplot essentials follows.] )

This concludes my report for the general imPort population. I now turn my attention to those of my own galaxy, for I have questions.

( [Jadus has been wondering these things for months. Now, he finally asks.] )

jadus

[Following Jadus' conversation with Kylo Ren, he sees no reason not to go public with the information he has.]

Ronan Lynch is the cause of the anomaly affecting the East Coast. He is believed to have been involved in an attempt to gather intelligence on Atropos. This has led to a power malfunction that will continue to worsen without intervention.

Lynch acts as a conduit between minds. While he is able to make these connections, he cannot control you through it, and is subordinate to the minds he touches. But your secrets are not safe, not from him or from others he has connected to you.

Through him, thoughts can be made real. It can give you strength, but it can also manifest things you never wish to face.

His powers have the potential to be useful in future. But for now, they are a mortal threat. Some may wish to contain him, but know that only destroying him will end the connection he creates.

Kylo Ren is with him. By the link you all share, you may find them. And may you do what is necessary to end this anomaly, before it brings doom to us all.

jadus

[Posted anonymously and deliberately affecting a different writing style, Jadus is seeking to avoid the complications that come with his own persona. He and Bean put this together, and thus either of them might answer.]

Several imPorts raised concerns about the charity auction a month ago, especially when anomalies followed it. So, we have traced the buyers.

The money came from representatives of several shell companies, all of which do work with the OTO.

For those who are new here: They hate imPorts and want to see all of us dead or gone. They tried blowing up Heropa, made a malfunctioning Porter in De Chima that killed hundreds of natives, they've been talking with Atropos, and now they're back to destabilizing reality. Presumably, using the donated items as focal points for some new device they've made.

Perhaps this will teach everyone to be more careful next time.

queenofseers

All of you are being fucking morons.

[ Cassandra's sitting in her room- yes, there is a corkboard covered in documents behind her, of course there is- and she looks genuinely frustrated. Not much more than usual, but usually she's calling specific people idiots rather than everyone. ]

You're giving away shit from your world, including your DNA? Despite the fact that reality is warping all fucking around us? Can't any of you think for two minutes? I mean-

[ She picks up some papers on her desk, computer print-outs with copious notations on them, and waves them around. ]

Allow me to read- "imPort clones started showing up; they showed up thanks to the donated DNA but also DNA Heaven Scent's people gathered by stealing cups, hair and such", blah blah blah, oh look, "the clones' true programming was activated. During the first week the clones begun to pretend they were the original imPorts and blacken their reputation through relatively small acts, which eventually escalated to criminal acts on the second week. Using their powers, they created mayhem, to the point of a murder attempt and disruption of a Swear-In." That was less than two years ago! Some of you were actually here for that! I fucking wasn't and I know about this! Kaneki left these notes for you all to read, they're right there.

So could everyone just...hold up for a second before you keep giving your shit away and letting the universe shift all around us? Because that's incredibly disturbing, you realize. Just- entire cities and buildings showing up. That doesn't usually happen. Not to mention clones are, you know, still possible? Thanks. That'd be great.

[ She does not actually sound enthused. ]

merging

Not sure if anyone else has had this problem, figure I'll ask here anyways

They got my name wrong? I tried like telling them as soon as I got the papers and all that, no one listened and yeah now I'm here.

I was trying to mess with my comm, buuuut pretty sure it'll affect this message too so ugh

if you've had this happen, know someone it's happened to, or even just know how to change it on network, I'd really appreciate the help!

Other than that I don't have much to say??? I'm new here? Nice to meet you?

- Sheev Palpatine

(signing this message because of obvious reasons)

[Look when you lie about your name on a regular basis and a network you're not super familiar with automatically puts down people's names... you obviously just have to come up with even more intricate lies.]

hatejakku

[ Finn's not thrilled about using the network considering who all is on it, but he also sees no other way to reach out to people on a large scale. There might be a little spite there, too, though. The fact that some people from the First Order might see isn't going to hold him back.

But he is definitely, 100%, going to text this one out, though. Totally not for the sake of thinly veiled and slightly illusionary anonymity. Not at all. ]

This is my first time being on Earth, but a friend tells me that I was here for a long time several months ago. I don't remember any of it.

He said that it was something like other versions of ourselves? Is that the general idea or are there more theories? Apparently, this happens almost regularly, so I'm sorry if this has been answered a million times before. But does the Porter have to the ability to take the individual from different dimensions? Or is it doing something to us during the transfer that was unintended?

I also have no idea what to do about the people who knew me before. I'd like to reconnect with them, but I don't know how or if they'd even want to, all things considered. Can't say I blame them if my friend's theory is right.

[ He could always flash his face around on the network and ask everyone if they recognize this man, but, eh, he'd rather not. If they know the name and that he's been gone, people could probably put the links together, he figured.

Then, after thinking about those he'd already met, he added: ] And do all of the imPorts have a military background or is that just everyone I've run into so far?

generalgrievous

[The cyborg is waving a letter around angrily.]

What is the meaning of this?! Is this a joke? Count Dooku cannot hide from me. I demand that he show himself.

[ooc: Happening after these letters go out.]

generalgrievous

How much hope do you have that people who have died in your world will reappear here?

jadus

The one called Many-Wriggle is gone.

I am sure she is pleased. She returns to a form that better suits her.

cannotrest

[Space team: As noted below, Ashley was constrained by the filter limit, but I'm happy for people to assume someone above copied this post to them and inbox her.]

It's probably too late for this to stop the protests, or to get approved to speak at the De Chima rally, but between those, and the confusion from other imPorts, and the rumors - I think it's worth at least considering making some kind of public statement about Project Alke. An interview, a press statement, maybe even a press conference, I don't know. Just to try and clarify for everyone what we're doing - what we can give out without tipping off the OTO, or handing them enough info to sabotage us, or making the locals think we're crazy for talking about nuclear missiles and time loops.

I'm not a word person, and I haven't had media training, so I don't think it should be me, but my friend Iris West is a reporter, and when I was venting to her - completely off the record - she offered to pitch articles with whatever we decide she can publish about the mission. It's a hell of an offer: She's a good reporter, and I'm not just saying that because she's my friend. Or we could write something ourselves, or - or put out a vid announcement or something. Who knows, it might turn even a little of that "are you guys crazy" into support.

Also, please copy this to the other people on the team and let us know what they think; it would only let me pick so many people, and even I can only make tech do what it can do. [So in the absence of a chain of command, she went with the people she spoke to at the initial meeting and at training.]
