[Script]

I volunteer Lark for any of the building scenes, he's handy with tools and such, even if he specialises in vehicles I imagine construction/general repairs stuff is still up his alley. He's also good for any scenes where having a friendly, diplomatic face who's good at making friends would be helpful.

On the flipside Snow makes sense for any of the higher-danger or more intense scenes 'cause he's reliable in those sorts of scenarios and probably has been giving off an aura of "needs distracting things to do" since his mom died

 

[illirica]

I like the Homefront stuff for Rhetta, especially those first two, as well as getting her involved in the Green stuff so that she'll have something to work on for the farther future rather than just the immediate.

I think Ethan might be good for anything dealing with the Lutetian Police Department, because he may have worked with them before as a security guard and might be able to work with that a little bit

 

[Hollow glade]

I volunteer Ziessel for everything it would make sense for her to do in her role, that happens once she's out of jail in May 20th. If she has time between that and paperwork she would have to do as well, she'd help with anything that needs doing at the Railyard.

Grisham could help with any repairs once he becomes a prospect? Maybe by the end of the month. He can be useful in the mornings!! When he's not working at the Rusty Nail, his schedule is most days from 15:00 to 00:30.

 

[Faithy]

Jimmy would love to do the following out of the green section:

• Testing Iverian Border Patrol: Crossings for Fun and Probing

He'd be good with helping with construction and other things that match his skills as needed.

Such as drug testing

Aimee uh...

<<

TBD

 

[Sune]

For Chloe: She volunteers for Preparing the homefront.
For Broch: He volunteers for The Greenly Reaching out
For Skye: She volunteers for whatever scene she would fit best for.
For Re: She would work well with helping with construction of defenses and/or any fighting sort that deals with weapons. She can't shift worth shit though.

Thanks for the responses y'all! I will work on further expanding and detailing each bullet point over the next few days into more shapely but still loose for shaping "hoped-for synopses" so we can directly scene plan for each character. I will also do that expanding keeping in mind the characters you have put forward but aren't sure where they would fit best.

 

[Jas]

I am not quite sure where all my folks would fit in but I'm down to help out with any or all of that.

Meals on Wheels: Cash Infusion: This one is an armored car robbery; I have Xandre down as critical for this one.

Xandre is also a stronger contender for:

• That Corpse Ain't Old: Who Let These Ghouls in the Weapon Caches?
• Verdant Mantle Escort: Plants Can be Hardcore Too
• Meeting the Green Man: Ragenard and Small Crew Learn About the Other War Going On
  ​

These are sequential and depict the trip to go meet Cathal in Iveria. Margot could potentially also fit on that trip on a secondary goal of showing her to the druids to see if they can provide something to them to help her continue to advance her magical education if you wanted that angle added.

Marie would be ripe for a cameo mention in Locating the affordable (dis)honest law enforcement informant, which would be a simple catapulting from there to a secondary thread of direct contact with her being sought by Ragenard, Desmond, or Baron, acting on both the intel that she's been out of the force for contracting ILV for five years and her showing against them, which was as good a wartime improvising showing as it is problematic and puts her on Ragenard's scout list once he has that knowledge she might be a lone wolf out there.


I also peg Margot as fitting in any of the bullet points beneath Bollards, Walls, and Hard defenses, and Wolfish Needs & Comforts once she's a prospect and realizes she can make that whole thang a lot smoother with her magic.

Good, because I have no idea where to put Aimée.

Alright yeah Xandre would absolutely want to be a part of an armored car heist, and he'd want to go with Rage to meet Cathal. So I'm down with that.

That does sound like a good way to get Marie in. These esoteric names are a little hard to follow but it sounds like from the description that would be a good way to go. In fact, Marie let slip some of that shit to Grisham if you're looking for a way for that knowledge to get to the leadership, that might be a good way.

And Margot would like to go back to Iveria, sure, and she would be very valuable in construction.

So all-in-all I'm down. If I see another place to insert someone I will but for the moment I am good with all of the above.

Also I assume that Margot and Marie woudl be generally involved in most of the prospect shenaniganry. Perhaps Xandre would join some of the other enforcers as boss/teacher/whatever for some moments.

Yup. List is not all inclusive the scenes you can do of course, just a bunch of room and possibilities for involvement.

I’d definitely be down to do something like that with you
