IT'S CHRISTMAS PLOT TIME, FOLKS!
Following on from the awesome stuff you guys made last year in the Krampus plot, Maru and I (with help from Write) have decided to turn the tables this year, and there are lots of ways for you to take part.
Premise - Halloween Town has discovered the presence of Christmas Town, and is determined to have Christmas for themselves. After trying to work in parallel, the monsters decide to take over instead, and arrange the kidnap of Santa Claus so that their own leader, Jack Skellington, can take his place.
Phase 1: As soon as app comes through.
Jack discovers the existence of Milliways, which he realises he can use to help with his current goal. He will be around asking a lot of questions about Christmas and holidays in general. There will also be a new tree in the forest, with a door with a pumpkin on, but only Jack can open this.
Phase 2: Provisional date 14/11/14
Following the suggestions of the monsters in Halloween Town, Jack comes into possession of several 'gifts' of a pox in a box.
Audience participation #1 - we will need at least one person foolish enough to open the box with the pox and become the source of the infection (SIGN UP BELOW).
The pox is transmitted by touching a carrier and not washing your hands. It has an incubation period of 1-2 days and is contagious within 6 hours of contact with the carrier until the spots are gone.
Symptoms include: green spots, sneezing, a really really bad hair day, and an urge to rhyme (NB: rhyming NOT compulsory). It should last a couple of days and does not cause serious illness.
Phase 3: Provisional date 1/12/14
Father Christmas is kidnapped by Oogie Boogie (we're not planning on having Lock, Shock and Barrel, but if their mun is still around feel free to get in touch). A ransom note demanding 'Christmas' to be given in exchange for his return will appear on the board.
Audience Participation #2 - The investigation will be lead by Gene Hunt, if anyone else would like to investigate the kidnap of Santa and the mysterious skeleton man, please SIGN UP BELOW.
Phase 4: Provisional date Millitimed to Christmas Eve, we will likely get you set off prethreading from 12/12/14.
Search for Father Christmas. On Christmas Eve, Jack will pitch up in the bar with all his gory presents, and promptly get himself nicked. Before going off to serve his time, he will help the Milliteams find Father Christmas.
Audience Participation #3 In teams of 1-3, each group selects a square from the map we will provide to search. You will all find a tree with a door somewhere in your square, but what is inside the door will be randomised to the square you pick. We will be getting monster/cracky ideas from you guys.
One team will find Oogie Boogie with Father Christmas which will bring us onto Phase 5. We will try and collate the search threads by Christmas eve.
The tree doors apart from Jack's will disappear after phase 4.
Phase 5: Provisional date Millitimed to Christmas Eve, we will likely set you off from 19/12/14 and wrap up by New Year.
Audience Participation #4 - Anyone who wants to gets to fight Oogie Boogie (SIGN UP BELOW). Individual or team separate threads. The threads end either if your character gets knocked out, or knocks Oogie back far enough to get his thread pulled by Jack, causing his big bug eruption of defeat.
Phase 6: Everyone gets their Christmas presents!
Audience Participation #5 - if your pup wants a present/missed childhood present/hypothetical universe present fromfather_chris, please sign up below. Same rules apply as last year, ping if queries.
Okay. Questions?!
