After weeks of being held captive in the King’s dungeon, Mona Graves was given one last chance to give up information about Caelan and his whereabouts in exchange for a lesser punishment. She remained steadfast in not speaking, preferring her death penalty over a lifetime of imprisonment, however, in the morning of her scheduled public execution, the knights came to find that she had somehow managed to escape. The knights who were assigned to keep watch of her the night before were also nowhere to be found, leading the King to believe that traitors had infiltrated the King’s guard.
Consumed with paranoia, Arthur declared that no one in the palace could be trusted. All the servants, knights, navymen, and other officials are to be thoroughly questioned and investigated by their commanders and supervisers. The knights and navymen especially are still under close watch in hopes of weeding out any possible traitors and so should ANY suspicion arise in regards to an officier’s loyalty to the king, they are to be dismissed immediately. If that suspicion were to be proven legitimate, the treachery shall be punishable by death.
Any citizen of Valencia holding any information about the Titans will be granted a monatary award should their claims be proven true and lead to the capture of a Titan. Those who choose to step forward will be granted the right to remain anonymous to the public and to the person in question should they wish. False claims have risen since the announcement as the declining economy has driven many of the lower class to do whatever it takes to get their next meal on the table, even if it means endangering a neighbor’s life by falsely tarnishing their name.
THIS IS PART ONE OF OUR PLOTDROP. Please feel free to post starters with your characters’ reactions before shit really hits the fan. And plot with each other! This is a perfect opportunity for your character to screw someone else over (whether by choice or by force) or to have your character get screwed over and labeled a Titan (whether it’s a false claim or not) Remember, you guys are in control of the narrative, we’re simply here to give you the fuel you need to advance your plots so go crazy and have fun!
“Have you seen what’s happening out there? Have you even bothered to look?”
Below is our last batch of our own version of a plot shuffle, explained in this post. We are posting them in batches each day to not overwhelm the dash and to give the events some space in between them, and we hope to have them all posted by the end of the next week.
After reading what is below for your character, what we ask is that you write a self paragraph on how you see your character reacting to this news, their actions, and how much this changes the way they see the world around them and how they are reacting to the situation they are having to face whether. After the self paragraph is written, you may begin to fully see where this step in your character’s and roleplay’s plotline takes in conversations and plots with other characters and new connections. What we are giving you is almost a prompt, you will be able to decide where this takes your character from this starting point.
Until your own character’s prompt is posted, you may have them react to this news as well, to build up their own suspense and fear.
Please note that this won’t be our last event such as this, we will have more plot shuffles to further our plot even more along in new directions and more chaos in the plot. This is meant to turn the city upside down and that’s where we will go.
Colette Delecour [Clotho] colette-filo
She is yet to discover the secret of Millicent Leone and what she is doing at the Inn, however, she is growing closer to such a fact. As of yet, with Elysa’s leaving of the Inn, she is continuing her own investigation of the operation. Along with Elysa, she also received a job offer at the palace as a cook with the recommendation of Elizabeth Harlow.

Oberon Jagr [Orion] oberoninthesky

Damon Castello [Dionysus]
He is the only person outside of the staff that Millicent has told of her operation at the Inn, and he is now funding new supplies for them as an anonymous donation.

Elizabeth is aiding the knights in the search for the Titans and is one of the ones that’s searching the streets for them , and is told that if she does her job well, she could truly become a knight with this war. She is arriving closer and closer to discovering the secret of the Inn as her visits to see Colette are growing more frequent.
Arthur Wymond [Zeus] kingofvalencia-arthur
To say the least, Arthur Wymond has begun to plan a war. As of late, he hasn’t been seen much outside of the walls of the palace except to visit those he wishes to be generals in his war, other than that, he is inside of his own office planning this war and is the one ordering the hunt against the Titans on the street. He will not take visitors and he will hear nothing of them. There’s rumors in the city that he’s ordering weapons the country has never seen to be sent into the palace walls.

“Clean this city up, so the rats have nowhere left to hide.”

Please note that this won’t be our last event such as this, we will have more plot shuffles to further our plot even more along in new directions and more chaos in the plot. This is meant to turn the city upside down and that’s where we will go.
Tasmin Delecroix [Themis] tasminxregina
The queen is under temporary house arrest in her bed chambers with knights standing guard on its outside. There has been a rumor of a disagreement with the crown in the palace, and it isn’t known if it was directed towards the queen or from the queen herself. One is allowed to enter the room if the knights outside allow such a thing, and she is allowed to leave, though only if a knight or the king is near.
Tobias Hoffman [Theseus] slayerofsxnners
While the knights are interrogating in the dungeons, Tobias is doing this job out on the streets and in homes, he is currently under the hunt for Atticus Lestrange, the old traitor who has been rumored to be in the city, and has been ordered to do anything he has to, even on the streets, to find him and any who are helping him. He has also been ordered to find any establishment that holds the Titans.
Phoebe Oakes [Persephone] phoebe-oakes
Phoebe is the one who takes the meals to the prisoners and the knights as they have their interrogations, seeing more than she has ever wished to see, more than she can understand, and she isn’t willing to go to her mother to discuss such things, and thus, she is doing her own investigations of the actions of the knights, often with questions that she goes to Godric Romelo for answers.
Percival Katona [Patroclus] percivalkatona
Percival is currently under arrest under the rule of Nathaniel Heel for a known disagreement of the crown. Nathaniel’s source came from a soldier Percival fought alongside while still at war long ago. He is now being kept in the dungeons of the palace awaiting questioning, and is the one who is attending to the wounds of the other prisoners as best as he can and against the knights’ wishes.
Emilie Rosier [Eurybia] shewithaheartofflint
She is under temporary unpaid leave from the Navy with the rumor that she has been spotted with Titans Piotr Swain and one under arrest, Alexander Swain. She as well is under questioning and will not be allowed to reenter her work until she is cleared for duty, this questioning, however, can be something that will set back her career.
Gideon Bancroft [Hermes] gbancroft
Gideon is still continuing his work for the king, however, his work is growing darker than it has ever been. He is sending his thieves into the darkest streets of Albion to find anything they can of the traitors, even asking a few to pretend they don’t support to the crown to see what they can find from the people of this city. He is also working alongside Bernedette Fowler as well to discover what he can that can most break a prisoner during interrogations.
Atticus Lestrange [Atlas]
Atticus is currently being hunted by the knights and Tobias Hoffman as he is recruiting those who have fallen victim to the warrants and is searching for ways to help those in prison cells to escape. He is searching this city to find those who are willing to fight alongside the Titans, claiming that they will fight for a new day that will never know ruin again.
Carina da Silva [Ariadne] carina-da-silva
She is currently staying at the Castello Estate after having been attacked in her own shop. A small group of masked men robbed her of anything they could find, taking advantage of the fact that most knights have made capturing the titans their priority and are thus compromising the safety of businesses from thieves. She was trapped in a closet in the shop until they were able to leave. It is said that she has not been able to sleep these past few night, and most believe it to be the Titans who attacked her.
Hadrian Leclair [Helios]
Under the rule of Alice Witsell, he is now arrested and being held in the dungeons of the palace. As requested by Godric Romelo, his arrest has yet to be reported to anyone, King Arthur included. He isn’t awaiting questioning, but a trail for years of treason while he was a knight. It is already known what punishment he will be given, and Godric is to personally see it through.
Under some observation, she had finally learned of the operation her close friend, Millicent Leone, was beginning in the Inn, and whether is was under her own rule or of other sources; however, Elysa has quit her job at the Inn so she won’t be affiliated with those who are actively against the crown. She won’t share her friend’s treason with others, but she won’t take a part in it either. She was offered a new job at the palace’s kitchen thanks to Phoebe Oakes, a job that is much closer to home and gives much higher pay, but she has yet to accept or decline it.
“By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes.”

Aurora Britton [Eos] eos-goddessofdawn
Aurora is currently under questioning as is the rest of the women who work in Antonia Roberta’a brothel. Afraid to return home, she is now staying at the Inn, debating on whether to attend the meeting at the Mills’ since the brothel was temporarily shut down and Alexander Swain and Hadrian Leclair are no where to be found.
Antonia Roberta [Aphrodite] the-beautiful-antonia
Upon the knights knowing that Antonia’s women tend to visit lords, her brothel has been temporarily shut down completely as each of the women are questioned who they have worked for and if they have heard of Titan activity. Thus far, Antonia has given the name of Alexander Swain as a Titan after days of questioning.
Levi Ellis [Lycaon]
Levi was found by a knight in the woods where Levi was having his own interrogation with one of the men who found a fascination with Lettie Caetano and her dancing, and the knight was there to watch him kill the man. Levi was arrested, but was pardoned by a connection from Evita Bristol and walks free, the knights unable to arrest for much now. It is only the monsters who are safe in these times.
Bellamy Calder [Icarus]
Bellamy Calder was arrested in the night as he was returning back to the Temperance, Merek Vadas and another knight waited for him at the docks, and though he did put up enough of the fight that he injured the second knight who arrested him, he is now being held in the dungeons of the palace, awaiting to see Merek Vadas and his questioning.
Estella Vadas [Asteria] propheciesofstars
Estella has been ordered by the crown to spend her days in Bernedette Fowler’s office with the hope that some of the herbs there will help her prophecies become more rapid. She has been ordered to discover all she can about the whereabouts of the Titans and of future attacks. As before, they are false and always directed across the city from the Mills’ or the Inn.
Catriona da la Rue [Clytemnestra] catrionadelarue
As Antonia’s brothel was shut down, Catriona was as well sent in for questioning if she had heard of any Titan activity by those she had worked for, however for acting rudely to a knight during her questioning, she was detained for a two days in a cell. In exchange for funding for her daughter’s future, she is currently working alongside Alissa Tarello as a spy among the court for Titan activity, however, unlike Alissa, Catriona’s focus is on the lords.
Alexander Swain [Astraeus] astraeusskies
It was a day ago that Alexander Swain was arrested during one his classes at the university, his books and papers thrown across the room as he was taken in. He was arrested under the name of Merek Vadas. He now shares a cell with Bellamy Calder, unknowing that others are searching for him.
Leticia Caetano [Terpsichore]
She was present when Levi Ellis murdered the man that was harassing her and was thus brought in to the cells with him as she was believed to be an accomplice. After seeing the young girl behind bars and discovering that her capture had nothing to do with the Titans, King Arthur Wymond was the one who requested her release, believing the girl when she tried to claim innocence to the murder. She has yet to confront Levi and find out about his release.

Until your own character’s prompt is posted, you may have them react to this news as well, to build up their own suspense and fear. And if you haven’t had time to like the original post, you still have time to be included in our plot shuffle!
Please note that this won’t be our last event such as this, we will have more plot shuffles to further our plot even more along in new directions and more chaos in the plot. This is meant to turn the city upside down and that’s where we will go.
Imogen Da Rimini [Arke]
She was caught stealing from one on the streets and was given a deal by the knight Alice Witsell who caught her in the act. She could run free for the names of two Titans and she named that of Bellamy Calder and Sloane Hedvig, naming the first names she could think of, not knowing the danger.
Merek Vadas [Apollo]
Now spends most of his days in the dungeons of the Palace, doing and acting in such ways he never thought he ever would, following orders that seem unreal to him, mostly that of interrogating those on the streets.
Bernedette Fowler [Hecate]
She has been recruited by the knights for herbs that can be used for healing and also for research, if there is such a herb that forces one to speak the truth, herbs that could be used as silent weapons.
Mareena Beasley [Amphitrite]
Mareena has been given the orders to assist the knights of the king and is now currently patrolling the docks of the city, her search being that of the pirates as it is rumored that they are working for Caelan Wymond. She has been ordered to kill pirates on sight.
Thierry Lockwood [Thanatos]
He was the one to bury the knights who had passed during the riot, and though he was ordered to give no burials to the citizens, the Titans, who had fallen on the same day, when their loved ones arrived to them with those that passed, he buried them himself, knowing what it could mean for him. He has attended one meeting at Beverly Mills’ home.
Beverly Mills [Rhea]
She is still working at the palace, and a part of her only stays to keep suspicions against her down and to visit the dungeons with extra food and drinks for those in the cells. The meetings at her home are growing more frequent.
Helena Wymond [Hebe]
She has been ordered to not leave the castle and has guards standing outside of her chambers, her meals brought to her. The only way she can see the world is if she sneaks out of her window.
Rose Rosseau [Rhodes]
She was sent in for questioning by the order of Godric Romelo and by the hand of Alice Witsell, under suspicion and is now awaiting questioning, especially with that of her relation to Hadrian Leclair and the known pirate Tristan Delmore.
Nimue Lockwood [Nemesis]
Has been ordered alongside Mareena Beasley to patrol the docks of the city, her search being that of the pirates as it is rumored that they are working for Caelan Wymond. She has been ordered to kill pirates on sight. However, she broke this order on the first day of it being given, having warned Atticus Lestrange and those at the meetings at the Mills’ of the actions she is meant to be given.
Pamela Nereida [Pleione]
She is now staying in the home of her sister, unwilling to take her eye off the girl, and is yet to know of the orders of Mareena Beasley and Nimue Lockwood. She has been stealing from merchant ships to make sure the Trident is stocked well for any war they will have to face.
Sloane Hedvig [Eris]
Slaone discovered she was was ordered to enter a questioning session at the palace when she returned home to discover that the knights searched her home for signs of being with the Titans, tearing it to ruins. She was freed from the knights, found not to be a Titan, but due to the state of her home, she is now staying at the Inn. The two that told of the knights her name were that of Imogen Da Rimini and Christopher Prior.
Christopher Prior [Castor]
Due to a mistrust of Sloane Hedvig and Larenzo Gastone, on the first chance he was given, he told a group of knights on the street that he heard them discussing that of Titan activity, falsely, just so they could be out of the Pit for a few days, so his brother wouldn’t have to fight.
Larenzo Gastone [Ares]
After being sent into initial questioning, Larenzo, after being released and being found innocent of Titan activity, offered his services is to the crown, saying that can use his men from the Pits to do the crown’s dirty work and possibly be a little more violent with street integration.
Nathaniel Heel [Neptolemus]
He was ordered to both ask Alissa Tarello to become the king’s spy with the promise their son will be looked after, and ordered to keep his brother loyal to the king. Nathaniel has also been told to be more violent with any possible Titan supporters.
Alissa Tarello [Andromache]
Alissa, due to the fact of her silent position in the palace, has been asked by Nathaniel Heel to both befriend and spy on the queen and the other ladies in the court, to listen on their conversations for rumors of Titan activity and words against the crown, with the promise of that her son would be well funded later in life.
This is to say that our first Greek Week has officially ended and for everyone to return to their present day (1580) conversations and plots. The conversations from this past week will have an effect on your characters, in dreams they can’t understand, perhaps a scar that wasn’t there the night before, perhaps a strange tightening in their gut when they encounter another when they used to be comfortable around them before, or they might suddenly feel themselves wanting to be more involved in the political conflict of Valencia than they were before.
We ask that all our members do not post any new starters or paras pertaining to Greek Week, and stop their Greek Week threads as well. Paras you are free to wrap up and finish as those were plotted, but again, please don’t post anything new and really do try to finish them soon. If you weren’t able to reach all of your plots planned for this week, have no fear, this won’t be our last Greek Week!
Why didn’t you believe me when I told you of the ichor in your veins? It is there, fading, but pure as gold.
This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for! Greek Week begins now and will last to 7/12. Below are a list of a few things to remember:
We ask our members to pause their current conversations until the end of Greek Week, this isn’t to say that you can’t reply to them, just keep them to a minimum as we wish for Greek Week to be the focus of this next week.
All the conversations for Greek Week should be set before the curse was even an idea to the primordials, so everything will be set in Ancient Greece and with your characters as gods.
While as of now, your characters won’t be able to recall these memories in their present lives, it may still have an affect on them, such as them questioning their alliances and their relationships with the people around them due to dreams they can’t understand.
Please tag all starters for this event with tmlevent002, put [Greek Week] as the header, and put the place and time of the conversation in the tags, such as: Troy, Prior to Trojan War or Olympus, Reign of the Titans. This is to give some organization to the time and where your character is at in their mythology. They can also be personalized, such as for Icarus: Underworld, After the Fall or Labyrinth, Before the Fall.
This is the list of past self paragraphs written, remember to have them up before joining in Greek Week.
