Plot Post: MANORCON
This week, you get a warm welcome to MANORCOOONN!!!
Monday morning, characters will find themselves in the registration area of a large convention; the hotel where their rooms are is in the center, and as much as the "fans" and other assorted NPC's come and go, there doesn't seem to be an "outside" - there's a courtyard in the middle of the center, and all, but attempting to leave will get that frustrating "walk out the door and find yourself walking right back in" game.
Lest you think you can avoid the con after the first day by hiding in your room - there is no room service, and the food court is in the middle of the convention center.
It's a good sized convention, and while there will be some of the usual NPC's, most of those are working staff; the majority of people at the con will, for the most part, act like ... well, what you'd expect of a bunch of fans at a con of all varieties, although some of them might occasionally seem "not all there". Characters are free to run across both good and bad cosplayers of themselves, fangirls, fanboys, cosplayers of people they know, and everything in between; players are free to godmod/NPC-play the 'fans' and assorted annoyances as they see fit. (Like most of you are going to pass up an opportunity to troll your characters.) Also it'll be hazy whether the fans recognize your character as "a really good cosplayer" or THEMSELVES, for added fourth-wall-what surreality at mod-option. You can also request a mod or other player NPC'ing a fan if you want.
People WILL have their powers, for the most part (Deathwing is a bitty harmless dragon to start with), but there's a catch - attempt to harm one of the "fans" or do something destructive to the center, and you will find yourself nerfed powerless for the duration of the Con. Continued attempts at murder, mayhem, and destruction will find them nerfed again, and they will find themselves something small, cute, and harmless.
The Dealer's Room, Artist's Alley, Game Room, and Manga Library are all pretty large and well-stocked; it -IS- possible to commission artwork in the Alley if you want to, and there's tables in the Dealer's Room with all sorts of merchandise, random trinkets, apparel, doujinshi, etc.. The screening room will be airing random movies, episodes, and whatever in between the scheduled screenings, so that characters from such canons CAN blunder in to see their own canon. Consider this an opportunity to kick the fourth wall and let the characters see how the Author sees them, or see other people's canons! If anyone has special notes about what they want/don't want others to know, please post here, and it's recommended to clear with the other player if you want your character to trip over something important from someone else's canon.
SCREENINGS ARE TEMPORAL DISTORTION OPTIONAL. In other words, you CAN watch the entire series and have only a couple hours/a relatively short amount of time pass outside the screening room. If events overlap, assume they're in different rooms.
ALSO FEEL FREE TO FORWARD/BACKDATE. Do not feel like you have to adhere to the schedule for your posts! Just mention what event they're around, if they're around an event and not just ambiently wandering. The schedule is there to give you events to plot around, not to make you keep it!
AS FOR WHAT THEY GET TO KEEP AFTER THIS WEEK: Anything lacking spoilers for anyone's canon or things that'd tell them things they wouldn't know otherwise! So, trinkets, plushies, and traumatizing doujinshi are fair game; copies of your canon or someone else's canon are not. MEMORIES WILL BE TREATED SIMILARLY: Characters are free to remember this plot, but anything that'd be a canon-spoiler or information they wouldn't have known otherwise about their canon or someone else's will be forgotten! I'm sure some characters are going to leave Manorcon questioning how much they'd been drinking to have that many memory holes.
