Plotting

This page is your one-stop shop to pitch ideas to the mods, propose an event, or ask questions about things you’d like to do in the game. Every plot post will also have a Q&A section for this same purpose, but this one’s more for your general ideas and permission.
NPCs and factions, monsters, and locations can be suggested on their respective pages. Feel free to ask questions here, but we may send you to the page proper to officially submit it.
As a refresher, we’d like to be consulted for the following types of plots:
✧ Giving your character a prestigious, influential, or extremely privileged job
✧ Working for City Hall in any capacity
✧ Plots that would impact other players/large portions of the setting
✧ Plots that would damage or destroy public locations
✧ Interactions with major mod NPCs
✧ Killing any NPCs
✧ Plots that attempt to bend setting mechanics (taming a monster, leaving the boundaries of the map, experimenting magically with Shadows, etc - these are not forbidden but we’d like to know what you’re doing so we can give you some results)
So, what can we do for you?

She's also definitely going to take samples of the water (both pre- and post- boiling) and would test it to try to find the nature of the contaminant-- though unless there was some obvious commonality in the results I don't know that she'd necessarily see the connection.
So I guess my questions are
- how obvious would it be that the stuff in the water is what she was gassed with?
(if the answer is, it wouldn't have been detectable in her blood that's totally fine too.)
- is her poking around in this way going to attract any unwanted official attention?
Fortunately or unfortunately she's going to lose interest in this pretty quickly as the water starts to affect her, but if anyone else talks about investigation she'd probably have the presence of mind to chime in at least with her findings....
Thank you sorry this is disjointed and late!!!

Scully will find trace amounts of the same chemical in the tainted water sample as she was able to detect in her blood. In the boiled water sample, there is no trace of the chemical, as heat-treating it has eliminated it.
So long as Scully does not run around openly publicizing her findings with her name attached, she shouldn't attract the interest of anyone higher up.

She won't publicize anything
yetbut I'm thinking she'll make a network post-- maybe toward the end of the month or early next-- to see if she can find more evidence, and if possible see if she can find anyone who got the antidote during the Widowmaker plot. (Dunno if there'd still be traces but it'll be an excuse to network post so s'all good.)no subject
She will indeed find the same thing in Mulder's blood. Any antidote would have faded from people's blood by now, but there will be plenty of the chemical available in the water and in people's bloodstreams to look into until the tainted water fades.

She's definitely keeping some samples for
personal useSCIENCE. Science purposes. Yes.no subject
Spinning off from their wild theorizing about whodunnit re: the water supply / kidnapping incidents, Mulder and Scully are trying to figure out if you can measure anima. So just out of curiosity-- is there a known way they'd hear about when poking into it? Or is there equipment they might be able to use? (Scully's current plan is "roll up to the orgy at Heaven with an EMF detector and see what happens" even if what happens is them getting kicked out for not putting out, so.)
Basically just curious if they'd encounter anything interesting in the course of this, other than bewildered voyeurs. I know this is a fairly handwave-y mechanic so happy to roll with it if the answer is "nothing," just figured we should check in!
Thanks!

We'll say there are ways for "professionals" in the paranormal and medical fields to measure anima a little more precisely-- an EMF reader is a perfect idea. The general population doesn't really have a sense for "how much" anima they have at any given time except in terms of how it makes them feel. Having a sluggish, blah day? Low anima. Feeling energized after a party? High anima. Etc. Giving the average person specific numbers wouldn't mean much to them. Mostly, you know when you don't have enough.
Does that help?
