The Sunken City [OOC]

I will be unable to attend the pad party tonight, since my parents are going to be taking away my phone at 10 pm EST. I hope you guys have fun, and I'm really sorry I won't be able to attend! I will, however, be in the pad right now, so if anyone wants to collab for a few minutes or so, I'll be there!

I'll more than likely be there ^^

I may be a bit late depending on how long dinner takes, but I do plan to be there!

Yay! If you’re late that’s totally fine! C:

If you can’t make it tonight, don’t worry <333 there will be plenty of other chances for us to get together and scheme >:D

I can’t come tonight but I think I can next time!

Ranger, Winter, Jazz and I have been jotting down ideas in the pad (check them out + add some of your own when you get the chance!) and i made some memes to summarize what we talked about XD

spoilering it:

Spoiler

edit: I think I'm getting sick (gross) so I'm gonna hop off, but still feel free to pop in c:

Condensed summary of what we've plotted so far! This way we have it here to reference <3 Things can be added/changed if anyone comes up with some last minute ideas!

Phase One

The Awakening

• The group wakes up in a dark ancient tomb. They have no memory of how they got there.
• Before they can learn more and introduce themselves, the tomb begins to crumble. They are forced to flee, barely escaping the debris.

Finding Shelter + The Sun Tattoo

• The group takes refuge in an abandoned prayer site.
• They finally introduce themselves.
• Maia experiences a powerful vision of Ra and someone who she assumes is Kakra.
• She thinks it was a vision of the future of Kakra, but its really a vision of Kakra's sister from the past. Nobody knows this yet, though.
• The group starts speculating about the tattoo and its meaning.
• Moswen leads the conversation but inquiries with others.
• Kakra (who is deeply religious) believes the mark has supernatural or divine origin-- possibly linked to spirits or the gods.
• Amaia, skeptical, challenges Kakra and starts pointing fingers.

Searching for Food + First Confrontation

• The group ventures deeper into Khepera to find food and water. (I will post a better description of Khepera soon)
• They come across dead priests and surviving cultists who turn out to be extremely hostile.
• Abel uses his skills in thievery to steal an artifact (that they will need later) from the cultists.
• The group starts realizing their strengths and weaknesses.
• Adronika finds a hidden temple filled with food, wine, jewels, and various other offerings. Others suspect its a trap and don't eat until Adronika proves it safe. I would also imagine that snakes would be there guarding the temple, so maybe Anakin can help with that!
• Maia is still skeptical of Kakra and finds everything she does suspicious.

Phase Two

Finding Ra's Tomb + The Book of Ra

• The chosen ones find an entrance in the temple that looks a lot like a sacred tomb.
• In order to open the door, they must solve puzzles and beat traps.
• They find what they think is Ra's tomb.
• The group discovers ancient hidden inscriptions and clues about their connection to the Prophecy of Khepera.
• Hidden inside Ra's Tomb, [someone, any volunteers?] finds the Book of Ra. Inside, they discover the actual prophecy.

Exploring Khepera

• Callista [possibly?] comes face to face with the Pharaoh who exiled her.
• Revenge Arc-- does she kill him, use him for information, or sacrifice him to Ra as an offering?

more will be added later!

I'll be able to make it to the next write in! I was also wondering if I wait until the write ins to make my post or I use the summary as a guideline for the post. Thanks!

Wait until the write in! We will be collabing on all posts— and since @avimoon has already started theirs, I was thinking that could be our first official post. We can have Maia’s post be second— with them arriving at the prayer site and Maia having her vision. Then the third post could be yours, Glitch! How does that sound c:

I know I have a the start of Maia’s post already written up in the pad, but I’ll delete it! I’d like to refrain from having repeat posts and to keep the plot moving.

As of right now, the posting order would be:

1. @avimoon — the crew waking up and finding shelter in a prayer site.
2. @Elektra — Maia’s vision and them talking about the sun tattoo.
3. . @winterwolf0100 — Deciding to go find food deeper in Khepera + altercation with a dead priest.
4. @Glitch0Ghost2024 -- Adronika finding a temple, Anakin using his gift to get them safely inside (caution: sneks)
5.
6.
7.
8.

Sounds good!

If that’s when we interact with dead priests and cultists, wonder if it might work for Kakra to be the one whose pov it is, since she do be seeing the dead ppl? Or the dead people just don’t show up until after glitch’s post?

Is it okay with you that winter posts third for this reason^ @Glitch0Ghost2024? :] if it works for you, we can have anakin post when they find food (which would make sense because he’d need to talk to the snakes guarding the food anyways)

I'm fine with that order. I don't know about y'all, but I'm gonna have so much fun with this!!!

@Elektra

Offccc np, just lmk when to write it lol, I'm good with anything

@avimoon I'll be popping into the pad to add a few lines from Maia! ^^ Your post looks awesome so far! I think maybe after Maia and [another character?] interact with Moswen we can get them to the prayer site.

I think it'd also be nice for Moswen to acknowledge all of the characters (describe them a bit, her very first impressions) since not every character will have an intro post. I can definitely help you with this if you'd like, avi! <333
