STATE OF JHASHCH.
I posted a hasty version of this in the game chat, but for posterity and ease of access (and just the fact that this is the only platform everyone in the game is guaranteed to see), here's a collection of your plotty pursuits. You guys can, as always, use this to plot with each other.
Also, if something is missing and you think it should be on this list, fill out the form here! The majority of these links come from the Jhashch infopage, so I likely missed it if it was posted elsewhere. Feel free to keep compiling information here for the rest of the month, whether by replying to that header, making your own top levels, or doing whatever else you gotta do.
Additionally, you guys can get into the servants' corridors since that was asked about ages ago. And, if your character has Norn cards, you can always mosey over here for a reading related to the trajectory of the game plot.
Finally, all of the arena matches are publicly televised. So even if you aren't around, you might catch reel highlights or even reruns!
Keep an eye out for details on what it's like to wake up from being dead, btw. Sorry for the delay on that!

- Ava won a poodlebug in an auction. It formerly belonged to an Aranean from House Chchai, named Lord Nkng, and has the interest of another Aranean. This guy is Lord Ehth, a son of Lady Awai, the Great Matron of House Jankeh.
- William won a statue that had a hidden compartment inside it. Inside this compartment was a ring, which he wore to the House Jankeh party...and then offended Lady Awai, who ate him. He also tried to speak with Mhic Nathair; she enjoyed it far too much.
- Dany has a spearhead that has the interest of a Regency agent. Also, it turns out her spider daughter is a princess of Queen Thsh's blood. Her group is also interested in pursuing the favor of the Twin Generals.
- Constantine won an Aranean leg in his collection of body parts and pissed off an Aranean named Lady Shjh from House Khah (and kind of has House Khah's ire in general). On the flipside, House Jankeh views him favorably, but their relationship with House Khah is a little rocky because of the perceived slight of COST favoring House Khah.
- Prompto has a rifle that belonged to a Doine scientist; he currently has no idea because he thinks the name is a phrase.
- Kylo Ben has a book of blackmail from House Chchai. Its contents are yet a mystery.
- Bucky got an invite to a gun club from House Jankeh, after winning a set of pistols.
- 9S has a spear related to the Watcher and Hunter and is speaking to a number of human servants about the religion of Jhashch (which is an offshoot of the Regency's). He's also on adventures to hack spiders.
- Hei found a card that brought him into contact with Lady Hthyj of House Shaiy. He's claiming victories in their name in exchange for info.
- Jon is interested in investigating if House Shaiy's attack on House Chchai was premeditated; he also has a hilt related to a creature the Araneans call the "King Killer". A house by the name of Chthy that deals in Drip Venom supposedly knows more about him.
- Jeyne has a mystery bracelet with Aranean numbers embedded in the jewels.
- Cheris got a bunch of you together to brag about COST, which earned invites to different parties. Cheris herself earned the favor of House Khah, which (along with COST seeming to favor House Khah as a whole) has helped mitigate the damage done by Constantine.
- Genji, Sebastian, and Arthur are the only recruits who attended House Shaiy's party; thanks to that perceived slight, the house is super pro-Regency. While Sebastian charmed and Genji spied, Arthur used his comparative invisibility as a natural recruit to dig around. He found a BCE belonging to an Aranean named Nkng of Chchai and a scarab.
- Ryo also has the respect of House Jankeh, between performing well in their shooting sports and killing Lord Ngsh in the stadium.
- Hux, meanwhile, is going to run his own salons. He's thrown in his lot with Princess Chch and has a necklace that shows her favor.
- Ryuji and his posse (Mordred, Rey, Jon, 9S, and Mamoru) are pulling a heist and going after Mhic Nathair.
- Lena expressed empathy towards Mhic Nathair's shabti...but Hei discovered this is Kebechet's undercover identity on Jhashch while on his hiatus mission. That information is now circulating.
- Chiron has concerns about the Regency and its treatment of any gods in their ranks.
- Mordred fought and ultimated killed a Regency agent named Khonsu in the stadium, which resulted in her ownership of his shabti.
- Minatsuki absolutely dominated Jngja in the stadium and made a killing. If you need money, she's probably the one to contact.
- Wolfwood trounced his Regency opponent, Imset, in the stadium. She promised him a boon.

He'll want to know the following about both:
- Hobbies, interests
- What they value (from both a gift perspective and from an ideals way)
- More specifically for the Prince but the prospects on his nuptials, who seems to be attempting to court him
- And if possible, see if there's a way to wrangle info about how the Prince has managed to stay out of becoming a nest.
OTHER HAPPENINGS.
Activities: Describe what they're up to.
Link: A link to any relevant write-ups, logs, entries, etc.

Character(s): Eames (
Activities: Breaking in to the servant corridors
Skills: I'd like to do this pretty soon after he arrives, since Eames is pretty keen on sneaking about. The 25th maybe to give him time to get used to the place first? That's a couple days after he arrives so while I'm jumping the gun ooc, it'll be fine ic.
Eames is really good at navigating maze-like things and is really perceptive in canon. He'd disguise himself and hopefully get in pretty well since he's a natural. Picking locks is easy peasy for him, if he has to do that. He's also very good at acting and will have been observing the human servants' mannerisms.
also would a human servant have facial hair? HE SWEARS he will shave his face for this if necessary.
Goals: Eames is looking for, in particular:
- anything that would give him access to the royal family's ring
- anything relating to the royal family's schedule or upcoming plans
- anything relating to House Chchai
- anything relating to the queen's tastes, preferences, personality, goals
- anything having to do with the Regency's schedule or upcoming plans
- LOOK ANYTHING he'll take anything that looks interesting.
no subject
The First Ring isn't interlinked with the rest of the maze; he'll discover this very quickly if he tries to get into the servant corridors near there. The Royal Family doesn't fuck around with their security and oversight of something like that would be, quite frankly, hella embarrassing. Eames will also find that trying to get deets on their schedule or upcoming plans would make the servants suspicious and cause some of them to start questioning who he is and what family he's affiliated with. They may be trapped in lives of servitude, but they aren't obtuse by any means.
House Chchai is an easier matter. The servants have no problem gossiping about the house's fall and circumstances, with little to distinguish what's truth and what's rumor. A few of them—former servants of the house, now affiliated with House Shaiy—seem rather disappointed about the house's fall without ever actually saying it; while they were tyrants, their treatment of humans was marginally better than their peers.
Queen Thsh, meanwhile, is just. Not a mystery. She's exactly as she presents herself; she doesn't hide or mask her behaviors, so any new gossip he hears on this end will be more along the lines of salacious tabloid news. Like oh man, have you heard that the queen has her eye on a male Aranean the heir apparent of House Jankeh is wooing? Gonna be drama over that one.
Attempting to speak to the servants or fish for info about the Regency mostly gets him confused looks. Like why would they know that, dude? The Regency's shabti are the ones who keep track of that stuff, if they need servants for it at all.
WILLIAM
He is good for: puzzles, anything requiring observation and attention to detail (so like sneaking around, though he's not a superspy).
He is really bad for: fighting, showing his face at House Jankeh,
currently being alive.no subject
Since Ava's
offlinein a coma, he's been looking after poodlebug, and would be able to tell Arthur & co that the BCE they found belongs to Bug Bug's former owner. (And help them follow up on this with Lord Ehth, potentially.)Might be able to help Kylo Ben translate the blackmail info via AC reward book, provided he doesn't stormtrooper on out of the room upon meeting the guy.
Is interested in all things Mhic Nathair (someone please tell him wtf is going on???) and the Watcher and the Hunter, if anyone's keen to get into that.
Oh and I guess he can more or less confirm the rumor about Lady Awai's daughter selecting a member of the Chchai family as her first consort ha ha ha.
...obviously any/all of this will need to be timed around his, uh. Death.

I mean the simplest way to do this is probs have William make a network post asking if anyone's familiar with the name, which I can definitely do (though possibly not for a few days)--unless you want to have Arthur dig deeper first.
(Also purely out of curiosity, would he bring up the scarab?)
no subject
I can have him bring up the scarab since if he doesn't figure out how it works on his own or with his teammates, it's gonna drive him totally bonkers LMAO
no subject
YEAH WILLIAM'LL BE INTO IT scarab + egyptian aliases = hmmmmmmm
no subject
i figure with enough gossip going around, arthur would've heard about him being eaten and would be curious about it..........
yes this is how he makes friends, ribbing them
no subject
THAT IS FINE, although William's been super circumspect about his real name, so Arthur would probs only know him by alias (John). And also the reason he got eaten has nothing to do with Lord Nkng...but it'll be p easy to go "heard you got eaten at your party, well SPEAKING OF BEING EATEN" or whatever.
THAT SAID, I would like to eventually make this info publicly available--just so everyone has some plot to sink their teeth into. If a network post isn't Arthur's style, I'm happy to have William do it (and he can defs leave out certain details if you want) but I feel like even if we have to stretch the bounds of ICness a little, it's probably worth it for the sake of getting more people involved.
no subject
Arthur's definitely more the type to keep quiet until he knows everything but if he's asking about the scarab, I can see him posting about it on the network. So really up to you....we could flip a coin....or whatever lmao

THAT SAID, he's passing the book off as the Complete History of Aranean Culinary Arts, which was how it was auctioned. He's hoarding the fact that it's a book of secrets, but if William does help him with translation, obviously he can figure something is weird about it haha. Kylo will be entering the stadium to fight a spider and his hope is to strongarm a victory and get some translation help there. If he gets spidermurdered or it otherwise doesn't work out, I am totally down for him getting help from William!
no subject
HAHAHAH that technique sounds very Kylo, bless. Thanks for hitting me up here, and defs drop me a line if things don't go according to plan--deciphering texts while back from the dead is totally my jam (and, I mean, if you just wanted to use the idea without involving William that'd be fine too, but I figure MORE INTERACTION = BETTER).
CHIRON
At the moment Chiron is a pretty open agent for things. He is very much aware of Kebechet's identity via Dany though, and so I'm happy to be involved with that.
If you need a good workhorse for your shenanigans, just let me know.
MORDRED
She also still wants Kebechet fucking dead, and is making no secret of that fact, despite Dany's demand that she calm her stupid ass down. Honestly she's still more pissed about the visions of her father than any of the actual torture, because #priorities... so she'll seem even angrier than usual, which is a serious feat. Expect to see her needlessly antagonizing any Regency agents she comes across, unwise as it might be.
I also want her to fight the twin generals at some point, if they last until after the metaverse stuff gets sorted. She's super into the idea of strong opponents that she can actually go all-out on, and might be willing to take on a partner for the battle, if she respects their abilities enough.
no subject
Horse has been made of the Kebechet situation. I'm totes game for Chiron trying to interact with her about it on any level.
no subject
that might happen sooner rather than later
