So a couple things we need to address as well as a small activity check at the end so without further ado!!
1) The bulletin will be posting the final piece of the PLOT DROP today around 8pm MST TOMORROW PLEASE WRAP UP ALL PLOT DROP THREADS AND ICs by Monday (1/21).
2) We're a bit lenient with activity lately ( both Mods are swamped with adult life and work and such so we'll be checking activity every 4 days instead of 2. And our activity will now be 7 days instead of 5. That being said, EVERYONE has until WEDNESDAY (1/24) to post ON THE DASH unless you've requested a hiatus or have spoken to us about the activity as we know a few people are having technical/personal issues! Communication is key here C:
3) OUR NEXT event will be February 16/17th so more information is to come with that. Our third wave of bios will begin posting TOMORROW ( Jack Horner aka Jack the Gaint Slayer and Hercules should be posted by 10PM MST today to kick us off). If there are any request for stories/fables you'd like to see let us know!
4) The main is slowly but surely being updated so bare with Admin Hels as she’s working on it when her time allows!! BUT the goal is to have everything once again up to date by Monday.
5) LASTLY, if anyone is unfollowed and wishes to return to the group message the admin before filling out an app, so we can note it and discuss accordingly.
It’s late as the auctions are being tallied. Attendees fall into a hush as they wait on pins and needles to discover who’s won just what. All eyes are on the small stage and mico with silent prayer they’re about to win a lot of land, riches, and titles. The crowd is practically vibrating in wait. Some disinterested parties dot the crowd, they’re eyes rolling.
Just as the speaker taps the mic to get everyone’s attention, a blood cruddling scream rings out through the halls of the Sherwood. It echoes off the wall, followed quickly by another scream.
CONFUSION sweeps the room.
Everyone looks at the body beside them in question. Who could have made such a sound? And why? A scan of the crowd shows several fables are not in attendance anymore. Has ALICE just stepped out for fresh air? Where did that tricky CHESHIRE CAT actually slip off too if not by the bar? Is the RED QUEEN really off powdering her nose?
The cries of horror turn in please for HELP and CALL THE SHERIFF! without a breath between.As a whole, the attendees rush to the noise. Only the important people get to really see what lays around the corner. Door ajar, the pale white figure-- a neighbor of sorts--of Miss Muffet leans against the door, hand pressed to her forehead. With a shaky hand, she points to the room, dread in her eyes.
Carefully the SHERIFF and THE ASSISTANT MAYOR approach. Without much thought, the door is pushed open showing a ghastly scene.
[tw: blood, dead body, nothing too graphic. ]
The smell of blood hits the nose first, then decomposing flesh. With a clear view of the room now the scene comes into focus. It looks like someone's splattered the floor in a dark carmine colored paint. Sticky to the touch it becomes clear what coats the floor in a puddle is not in fact paint but blood.Upon the wall, still dripping at it dries lay the message: "ALL FABLES ARE DEAD" alongside the what looks to be two animal horns, curved and sharp.
Shivers run down the spines of everyone witnessing the uncovering.
And just as if you think it can't get worse. It does. Surrounded by the puddle lays the body. Unidentifiable as it is, there's no mistaking the clothing, with its red heart on the jacket, or who they once belonged too. The Knave of Hearts. But there's one thing missing. A glance is exchanged between those who run the community. Accusations form and questions arise.
A GASP of horror echoed through the hushed crowd.
All eyes turn to the source but one can't be named. Was it you? Was it someone besides you? No one dares asks and no one dares admits it’s them.
Once again the scene is shown as the investigation begins. Laying beside the body, gleaming in the faint fluorescent light that flickers on and off. The vorpal sword lays, the edge coated in a sticky messy splatter of red.
It's a horrible sight, even the small glimpses given are enough to unsettle the stomach. But there are one pressing questions...Where's the head?
Please follow @fpdbulliten for further clues and developments on the disturbing murder.
And there it is guys our first plot drop!!
The plot drop will last from January 2nd- Jan 9th ( In game time over the course of 3-4 days). We ask that you wrap up any event threads by January 3rd. We’re not going to ask you to pause any non-event/ non-plot drop threads but we do want everyone involved in this plot drop!!! Throughout the seven days, we’ll be releasing new developments and information with the FPD Bulletin blog (link above ).
Please feel free to make a start of your character reacting to the news, maybe spreading some gossip of who’s being arrested while they drink at the Snuggle Duckling or Velvet Note. There’s sure to be a lot of interactions as more and more information is released so stay tuned!
Think your character is safe from being a suspect? Think again. Everyone has plenty of motive to have killed our very dislikable victim. Think you know who did it? Think again. At the conclusion of the five days, we will hold a trail for whoever ends up being guilty. More information on this will be released when it gets closer to the end.
tag all starters #fablesplotstarters as well as #fablestarters
Questions? Concerns? Confusions? Feel free to message us mods!!
It’s here! the first night of the Gala and auction. so put on those ruby slippers, dust off your gowns and tuxedos! We want to see what each character is wearing. Remember not all nobility managed to get out with their riches, not all thieves are scrapping the barrel. Some have had to rebuild their fortune, other manage to make it by. It all depends on where they fall on the economic line how fancy or expensive their attire should be. Meaning someone living in Winkie Country shouldn't be able to afford Jimmy Choos unless they stole them ( which is totally plausible).
Tag these as #fablestask003
Secondly, if you haven't already done Task 002 get it out ASAP you technically have until the 31st to get them done: BUT the sooner the better! Activity will be going back to normal ( 5 days ) as of today. Anyone who is past a week and was not on hiatus will be warned once more before being unfollowed.All those whose hiatuses have ended will be tagged, you have 5 days to make a post. If you have any questions feel free to drop us a message or contact us on discord.
