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

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!

[ It's almost more stressful than hearing about demon fish and crazy water when they're about to go and be out where both of those things are entirely possible. ]
Could be. That's kinda what we're hopin', but we're also hopin' not to run into a shitstorm just to find the thing. Knowing 'Mina, this kinda info is only gonna make her want to check it out more... almost don't think she should find out, huh? Maybe keep that in our back pocket and... I dunno. Prepare better. Make up an excuse.

[ He had already been dismissing it as 'this isn't happening' but if Viper is seeing it as suspect, yeah, now Bruno's going to stress over it. Great. What could it even mean? ]
Hm, you know her better, so I'll leave it to you to decide but I... I dunno. I'm a little worried. What if it all really does go wrong and we just. Didn't want anyone about this?
no subject
[ Were those her actual words? Well, something like that, anyway. She was kind of out of it at the time. She heaves a big sigh. ]
Maybe we really need to. I'll tell 'er and keep my fingers crossed it doesn't light an even bigger fire under her ass. In the meantime, you, uh... stay outta the incense. Doesn't take a genius to guess any kinda shenanigans like seeing impossibly nice things are probably gonna start there.
no subject
[ Bruno had not anticipated having friends at all, okay? It's going to be a problem. He doesn't want them to get hurt now. ]
But, uh, there's. No need to worry about me going out into the incense. Nope. I. Really already learned my lesson about. That. Doing that. [ He will not explain what that means. ] So ha ha, no worries there, right?
no subject
[ She is the wildly risk-taking friend who is A Lot. ]
...Lemme guess, you turned into a monster. Or you attacked somebody. Or somebody you thought was cool attacked you. Orrrr maybe all of the above in the same day. Am I close?
no subject
The first two. It's the first two.

You, ah... you okay?

[ Which sounds like kind of a crappy offer, but what else can you really do about these things, man. ]
