the following is a list of plot drop ideas you can use in groups (or just 1x1 plots if you wish). a plot drop can be similar to an event but rather than it being, say, a party or charity fair that gets advertised a bunch, a plot drop is more likely to be something sudden and unplanned that has little to no warning before being posted. plot drops are usually something unpleasant but not always; they serve to force the characters into a situation where they have to develop and interact in order to get through it.
obviously some of these may depend entirely on the genre of your group, so choose accordingly! some are also more extreme than others so keep in mind some members may want to opt out for those reasons. please like/reblog if you found this helpful or are rph.
⋆ power outage/blackout
⋆ other malfunctions such as a building flooding, going on fire, or collapsing
⋆ natural disaster/extreme weather (floods, fires, earthquake, blizzard, avalanche, torrential rain, etc) that strands the characters
⋆ police raid
⋆ outbreak of an illness
⋆ a murder (non-playable character[s] found dead)
⋆ extreme accident (car crash/pile-up, plane crash, train comes off the tracks, etc)
⋆ a mass text message sent to all muses (the contents of the message would be specific to your roleplay plot but would work very well in a blackmail roleplay)
⋆ half the muses are drugged at random, the other half are confused by their friends’ bizarre behaviour (the drug can be something realistic or something less so such as a ‘love potion’)
⋆ a kidnapping, of one character or several, that can be real or staged
⋆ flashback day/week where the muses are all transported back in time however many years (though this would likely work better as an event, ie. some warning given)
⋆ zombie outbreak
⋆ alien invasion
⋆ wild animals escaping/stampeding the scene
⋆ characters are trapped in a haunted house (whether said house is actually haunted or not depends on your group)
⋆ a serial killer is loose in a building or area where all muses currently are
