Heeeeeey, guys! It's Liv- Ashlyn's player!

This is Sophie! She's come to Beacon Hills in search of Gerard Argent, but not finding him she has sought out Derek and his pack. She's a beta, and beta's can't survive without a pack! Some comes with some not-so-fun history, but that's the story of most of the occupants of Beacon Hills. She's nineteen and on shaky ground being so alone, which makes her a massive bitch little mean, but once she warms up to you she'll want to take care of you and be a little easier to be around. She comes from a pack, so she knows how pack dynamics works, and she's going to be a little perturbed at current state of Derek's.

My next newbie is Scott McCall! He's a little bitter with the curse seemingly ruining his life yet again, so he's going to be a bit moody and lashing out. But not for long, because I would like to maybe eventually come to understand that Allison was seriously bad for his (and Stiles', and his mom's, and the rest of the pack's) health and honestly, not that great (she did shoot him, after all). He's also still pretty willfully ignorant of what's going on around him, and that should be causing him some trouble soon.

I will be NPCing Danny from time to time, too, so if anyone needs him, let me know!

August 21st and 22nd are scorchers, with highs around 105, but Wednesday brings a bit of cloud cover and the highs for the rest of the week settle at around 95. The odd pockets of cold evening temperatures have a noted but small drop. Winds are a bit stronger than usual Wednesday, otherwise, the weather is warm and typical of the time of year.

The Death Spirits are frustrated after one of their numbers were captured during the new moon. The As before, feel free to use the spirits and/or visions involving them in your threads, if you have questions or ideas, just drop a message in the Dropbox in the mod journal.

WEEK 8:

Monday August 21st

Tuesday August 22nd

Wednesday August 23rd

Thursday August 24th

Friday August 17th

Saturday August 25th

Sunday August 26th

Week 9 will begin on April 29th, as week 8 will be a long one. Due to figuring out new histories and settling in with new characters, you are still welcome to post Week 7 threads, please be sure to use the correct week tag and try to have all week 7 threads posted by the 22nd.

Hey, guys! So this post is to go into further detail about the Death Spirits Ritual and who will need to do what (though feel free to jump in with your own suggestions and plots and such).


( Why the Death Spirits Exist )
( The Ritual Gist! )
( Stiles )
( Peter )
( Jackson )
( Chris )
( Derek )
( Mac )

Anyone else feel free to join!!!

This post serves for two purposes. One is to recap this week's pack meeting. It'll take place Thursday, because the new moon is Friday. It'll also take place a lot earlier in the day, just so that Stiles can attend, so it'll likely take place right after Scott gets out of school. There'll be a lot more talking during this pack meeting in preparation for the new moon, and that's why it'll take place at the Hale house - since this meeting will focus on the actual talking rather than the training. Anybody involved in Peter, Jackson and technically Stiles's resurrections will be discussed under the presumption that since more deaths have occurred - and one death escaped - the death spirits won't just be more powerful, but more vengeful so anybody can considered fair game.

They'll also discuss what defenses they know are viable possibilities - including salt, burning sages and wards. Derek will have to talk about wards with Jackson earlier in the week because he intends to discuss their viability without leading Peter to anyone specific. Derek will also implement the buddy system. No one is to spend the new moon alone, including Peter. He doesn't care who pairs off together, he's not a baby sitter. That being said, he's already decided he and Scott will babysit Stiles during the new moon, since Stiles is a human and he won't be able to heal as rapidly from an attack, assuming he survives it. And if Peter insists on going buddyless during this buddy system, he could possibly get dragged into that babysitting duty.

As always, you can post a comment with whatever information your character might have imparted during the meeting, and this post is open for the duration of this game week - as the threads and scenes develop and your characters learn new information.

The second part of this post is for Mac, not Derek. This week, starting Monday, she will begin experiencing her prophetic dreams once more. And if you would like her to view a snippet of what your character will experience during the new moon, let me know (by commenting to this, or via instant messenger or her OOC post, I don't really care). It's assumed by the characters in the know that Mac has a higher chance of seeing events surrounding those in Beacon Hills. Her dreams (such as the one with Brenn and Paul) do not have to involve death, although she doesn't know that, so if she dreams of your character, she will assume they're going to die.

August 13th and 14th are scorchers, with highs topping out at 104 each day. A cool front brings light cloud cover on Wednesday, as well as highs in the mid-90's the rest of the week. Lows settle in the low 50's, though the strange bursts of isolated cool areas and random patches of frost continues to baffle weathermen. The New Moon falls on Friday evening, and the spirits are stronger than ever. They will be physically attacking anyone who has died, the grieving, those who have had a hand in death or been surrounded by it.

The death spirits attack with claws and teeth, they are black and scaled, though sometimes can appear as a loved one to those not familiar with the supernatural. Their claws not only rend flesh, but also freeze the skin, leaving frostbite. They can be held off by rings of salt, burning sage and magic wards, but do keep in mind they are not necessarily bound by the laws of gravity and may find ways around these. Feel free for your characters to have visions, be attacked and come up with new methods of holding them off. If you are unsure about an idea, please feel free to ask, we will be happy to help out. But really, feel free to go wild.

WEEK 7:

Monday August 13th

Tuesday August 14th

Wednesday August 15th

Thursday August 16th

Friday August 17th NEW MOON

Saturday August 18th

Week 8 will begin on April 8th.

Okay good lord, I have slacked with the packing business.

So for this week, Pack meeting will be conducted Wednesday night. I'm guessing Stiles is on a sort of protective version of house arrest, and probably won't be able to attend the pack meeting (especially if he intends to get away from the house on the new moon, he can't be skipping out at night during the week)? So the game they're going to be playing at pack meeting will be a little bit like tackle foot ball. There will be one ball and one finish line. The pack will be divided into two teams, and whoever crosses the finish line first wins. They will pass the ball (which will be a baseball, not a football) in an attempt to keep the ball in the hands of their team. There are no other rules. No structure to the game, no fouls. Anything goes. The entire preserve, and the wooded land beyond it will act as the field. It'll be used to test the agility of the pack, since they're going to have to dodge werewolves and trees in order to win. Speed won't be the only aspect necessary to win. Who better to serve as hypothetical enemies than your own pack, right? Scott and Jackson will be elected as team captains and get to school yard pick their teams.

Anything necessary to discuss will also be discussed before the game, although it is becoming apparent that Derek thinks it'll be easier to teach discipline and team work through childhood games rather than structured lessons.

And Derek will be keeping up his private lessons with Erica as well - those days will also alternate like pack meetings, and for this week, it will be a Friday. (And the offer to give Dallas private lessons to up her training is totally a standing offer.) For the private lessons, they'll be more founded in combat than the pack training. So that means hand-to-hand, agility, obstacle courses, stuff like that. Things that are useful in fights.

Okay. Since we don't need to scene this meeting, anything anybody would like the pack to have discussed during this meeting, you can post in the comments below. You are all still free to scene certain aspects of the meeting/training.

I'm back! About to reply to everyone I need to reply to. I've been reading through things and catching up, but it's possible I've missed something so if I need to reply to things or something let me know.

Hey, guys!

I’m Liv, and I’m bringing in Ashlyn. She’s just your typical 16 year old shaman with the Sight. Where she excels in one part of her life she severely fails in another. She’s on a mission to find Jackson (even though she doesn’t know it yet), and her dad (who, if anyone wants to play him, lemme know) is a trauma surgeon at Beacon Hills Hosptial by day / shaman by night, has her doing so because he’s recently felt some guilt for the whole ‘giving the pregnant were poison’ thing.

She might also join the swim team when school starts.

Her profile is full of some pretty useful (and bulleted, for easy and fast reading) information regarding the shaman/Sight/Grim history thing since it’s not been touched on too much in the show. Feel free to click here to be directed to that.

I’m excited to play and plot with you all! :)

Hey gang,

We have a new player today, bringing us Ashlyn, an OC shaman. Please head over and update your friends list and start plotting!

The week of August 6th blows in on strong winds and the week continues to stay warm during the day with highs in the high 90s and lows in the mid 40s. The inexplicable pockets of cold are occurring more frequently and affecting larger areas, sometimes persisting well past dawn. In relation to a certain event (please check the threading community), the police who arrived at the scene were quoted to say that, "[the state of the room] in which the victim and the murderer were found was freakish and not right." The toll of accidents in the lonely mountain roads of Beacon Hills, while not always fatal, have taken a sudden and suspicious hike, prompting the broadcasting of tired PSAs and the cheerful line that "somewhere between 25-50 percent of all motor vehicle crashes in this country really have driver distraction as their root cause."

Frustrated with their failure with Stiles, the Death Spirits are more aggressive than ever and their goal is to cause as much death as possible. They are strong enough that the frost and ice they leave behind last beyond that which is natural, melting away only when in full exposure to the noonday sun. Even people who are not supernaturally inclined instinctively know to avoid these cold spots. There will be a palpable oppressive presence in Beacon Hills that is even more obvious to supernatural or 'sensitive' individuals. As before, feel free to use the spirits and/or visions involving them in your threads, if you have questions or ideas, just drop a message in the Dropbox in the mod journal.

WEEK 6:

Monday August 6th

Tuesday August 7th

Wednesday August 8th

Thursday August 9th

Friday August 10th

Saturday August 11th

Sunday August 12th

Week 7 will begin on March 25th. We will also have our activity check on that day.

Hi guys!

So on Wednesday, it's my birthday and I have the best friend in the whole world. He's taking me to New York to see Sleep No More. I'll only be gone Tuesday and Wednesday and back Thursday evening. However I won't be bringing my computer because of course there's no free internet and I'm cheap. So tags will have to wait until then, if I still have any left to answer. I'll still be around today and tomorrow though.

Okay folks. It's Roz, bringing in my final character.

This here is Alisha Deeks. And Alisha is Dallas's cousin - whom Dallas has never met. She will be coming to town to make sure that hunters don't target Dallas, after they've basically eliminated Alisha's family, one by one. That's her motive, but that's not all she'll be doing in town. I have a few plot ideas listed in her profile, but basically, Alisha is going to bring some chaos to Beacon Hills. And this can come about in several different ways. But first, what you need to know about Alisha is that she spent the last six or so years living off the grid - in the wilds - to throw the hunters off and because of this, Alisha is a bit feral. She won't be as cultured as Peter and she won't be as manipulative as Derek, but she is every bit as fatal as the both of them. She won't adhere to social norms, and she has had very limited contact with humans in that time.

Now as for the plots - Alisha will be more focused on the pack than anybody else. She will predominantly be targeting the werewolves, because she's also angry and petty. Her entire goal is to make them uneasy. All things considered, packwise - things are going relatively smooth. And Alisha will intend to make them reconsider that contentment, because Derek clearly can't have nice things. And there's a few ways she can do that. For some she can make them realize how weak they are even with a pack. For some she can intimidate and inspire some much needed fear within them. But Alisha isn't a caveman, she knows how to make very pointed remarks that people would rather not hear. She can chip away at their resolve, at their motive for functioning in a pack.

So basically all the plots are on the table.

Hey gang! It is time to hit that friends button again, as we have a new character in the game today! Alisha is here to cause some drama and some trouble, so start your plotting!

Hello, I'm Jewels. I have brought to you one Lydia Martin. I won't bother with an actual intro because you all know who she is.

In any case, Lydia has been doing a lot of summer-ish things for the past couple of months. Going to the beach and hanging out. The usual stuff to try to get back to normal. But she's also been doing a lot of research, now that she's starting to get clued in to what's going on. She now likes to think that she's a walking encyclopedia of things that go bump in the night. Mostly she's been trying to research stuff about her immunity but that hasn't gotten her anywhere.

I'm not sure what everyone was up to with the other Lydia, but I don't want to make anyone redo a thread they've already done with her (like if she and Jackson have already talked) unless you really want to. If there's anything I need to know, or if there was a plot line with her that you want to continue, just let me know.

Otherwise, I have a whole list of things that could be potential plot. You can read all of them here if anything catches your eye. I am open to any and everything though, if anyone needs Lydia for anything.

Hi all! We have a new player today, please run the friends button, welcome our new Lydia and start your plotting!

The week of July 30th begins warm with highs in the mid-to-high 90's and lows in the 40's, the strange patches of isolated freezing temperatures still occurring. Friday brings a warm front, pushing the daytime high to the 100 degree marker, and Sunday brings strong winds to Beacon Hills.

Tuesday is the full moon, which will obviously be a major factor for all werewolves. The Death Spirits will be distinctly absent this night, and even the weather will normalize this one night, lows only reaching 64 degrees. The Death Spirits will likely be rather irritated after this night, so anyone who has experienced a lot of death during their time should be on their guard Friday night. As always, feel free to use the spirits and/or visions involving them in your threads, if you have questions or ideas, just give the mods a shout.

WEEK 5:

Monday July 30th

Tuesday July 31st FULL MOON

Wednesday August 1st

Thursday August 2nd

Friday August 3rd

Saturday August 4th

Sunday August 5th

Week 6 will begin on March 11th.

Okay, so this is just a headsup. The current pack meeting has been decided that we can fade out of it. I'll make an OOC post at the start of every game week, that basically lets you know what day the pack meeting for that week will be and it'll open the floor for everyone to comment what their characters are likely to share at the meeting so that we all stay on the same page. Of course you can still scene out aspects of the meeting if you want there to be conversations that took place, or confrontations.

For this current game week, this is super belated, but I checked and it looks like wednesday night was free for everyone thus far, so I'm thinking that should be when the meeting took place. If this doesn't work for anyone, let me know and we'll decide on a different day, provided that it's different from the day that last week's pack meeting took place on.

This week, as an overview, I'm thinking the meeting will take place in the preserve, since Derek's wolves don't know the fine art of evasion. So for the training, they'll be playing an elaborate game of tag, and Stiles will get to learn the fine art of masking one's own scent and running as silently as possible Basically he will learn how to survive being stalked as prey. If the day chosen is good with everyone, I should be able to get a post up tomorrow, so that we have ample time this week to get it started, and we'll be able to take it slower instead of having to rush it.

...This has been a public service announcement, and you may all now return to your regularly scheduled programing.

First off, I want to let you guys know that I might be super slow for a little bit. I'm getting over a cold or something. I'll still be online, probably all the time since I can't lay down without coughing >_> but I have this migraine that makes it hard to concentrate enough to tag. So if I haven't tagged you in a while... totally not personal.

But second, we need to decide what we want to do about the pack post, because posting a pack post for week four seems important. I know we don't need to do one every week, because that'd be redundant. But with Erica back, and week four serving as Dallas's introduction to the pack, week four doesn't seem like a week we can skip the pack post. So we should have a talk about what we want to do with the current post. Do we want to conclude it, or do we want to decide on what was discussed during the meeting and how the training went so that we can abandon it and move forward, but stay on the same page?

( Images below the cut )

July 23rd to July 29th starts off warm, with a high of 98 on the 23rd, but the 24th brings overcast skies, hazy sprinkles throughout the day. With the rain comes cooler temperatures, highs for the rest of the week top out at 90, the average low falling around 45, with strange reports of ice or frost appearing in some areas.

The Death Spirits have now learned that they cannot simply reclaim Peter and Jackson, so they have begun testing out other people who may be selectable to their influence. Those who have experienced a recent death, been thinking of a departed loved one or have been surrounded by death will likely begin to see ghosts of the departed. Those trained in/familiar with the supernatural may be able to catch a glimpse of the spirits controlling the apparitions. The Death Spirits themselves are sleek, black and have hard-scales and ice cold claws. They are not yet strong enough to attack anyone without the aid of the new moon, but they can send the spirits of the dead after the living.

Just a bird's eye view, for those who would like their characters to become more actively involved in this particular plot, the Death Spirits are going to start haunting people randomly to see who is most selectable to their influence. Eventually, the spirits are going to start compelling characters to kill on their behalf. If you would like your character to need to be saved from themselves, step one is for them to start seeing ghosts! Friends/family of the characters being haunted can start to notice erratic or strange behavior and eventually have to come to the rescue of those selectable to the Death Spirits. Feel free to hit us up with any questions or ideas!
