COTERIE INTERACTIONS (IC) - CHAPTER I


COTERIE INTERACTIONS



The leader of each coterie, all colloquially known by the same name as their group—Jaguar, Eagle, Viper, and Salamander—will play a major role in the story, oftentimes appearing in events and even, during major plots, accompanying the player characters on their quests. While having constant access to them in threads would be difficult to keep track of and may lead to unfair advantages for some characters, and they will never directly comment to any network or log posts made in [community profile] incensed or [community profile] incenselogs, we do want to offer the opportunity for characters to interact with them. Therefore, with the exception of the aforementioned event posts where the NPCs might appear, all direct interactions with the coterie leaders can be done here. Simply comment below with the leader you'd like to interact with and whether it is in person or via medallion/journal in the subject line.

Note that it is fine to handwave minor interactions with the NPCs, such as in the case of exposition or receiving their quest orders, and you do not need to thread that out here nor ask permission from the mods. Relationships beyond passing familiarity as leader/subordinate cannot be handwaved however—in general, characters will not "build CR" with their leader to the degree they might with other characters in the game. They will still get to know them well over the course of the story, though.

Please also note that the NPCs are played by the mod team and are subject to the same tagging speed or question-answering expectations. We will respond as soon as we can!

Heheh, well. I am willing to help. And if this is a way for us outlanders to put our money where our mouths are where cooperation is concerned, I doubt that Salamander will have to look hard for volunteers.

[ She's not particularly concerned about compensation - at least, not the monetary. There's a faint hum in her throat. ]

One step at a time indeed.

That said, I'd be happy to speak with her at her convenience to get things rolling, but that leads me to my second question: did you inform the other coterie leaders of what happened to me, after the Tezcatli temple? Or should that be something I inform them of, assuming they hadn't listened to my earlier medallion broadcast?

[ There's an entirely internal sigh. That was about the answer she expected, however. ]

I understand. Should I leave that to you? Or would it be better that I inform her? ..Do I have anything to worry about if she is told? [is there medical mad science she needs to be on the lookout for here]

I can think of a couple of places that could work as a station here, though how big it needs to be will no doubt need Salamander's approval, I suppose. Will I be notified of what duties you'd like me handling as your proxy in writing while I'm here?

She seemed especially.. [there's a pause, then her throat clears] Never mind. Forget I said anything. Too many thoughts in short order, no doubt.

I believe there's a few large buildings within the main town that could be useful, but perhaps something further out, not far from one of the gates in might be better. Easier to direct coterie traffic where it should be, rather than distract from the city's main focus. Beyond that, I don't have much to add yet, but I'll be ready and waiting for when you both have something settled.
