THE PLOT:

Mischief night is the night before Halloween. Students decide to play a prank on their teachers and staff: at night, they steal a random object from their target's office or home and hold it ransom in exchange for candy.



Since group threads always die out pretty quickly, my plan is to utilize The Post Office to send the ransom notes. Participants have the option of either making individual threads with their victim, or just sending correspondence back and forth through the Post office. This way it's easy to participate even if you currently have a bunch of threads.



An even number would be great, but if not, some teachers/staff/etc may have more than one object stolen.


If you're interested, respond with the following:
Code:
Your character's full name.
Is your character a student or staff?
If staff, what object(s) can be stolen?
If student, what target/object do they want?
**At present i'm aware there are not enough staff members, so feel free to sign up and leave it vague and we'll update again right before threads start!**







LIST OF STUDENTS/ TARGET & OBJECT::

Lorencia Hel'Sarie: Aiden Hart's Kitten

Marian Esperanza: Aiden Hart's Coat
Student; Could steal almost anything from anyone but more likely valuables, like jewelry/accessories, personal spellbooks, magic wands or other. Or your favorite mug works too. Favorite anything. Otherwise STEALING AIDEN'S COAT

Raphael Niccolo:
Student; Would more likely target "nice" looking teachers, or ones look like they could appreciate a good for-ransom prank. More likely to steal harmless personal belongings like mugs, and coats.

Cadenza Tarantella:
Student; Would target anyone. More likely to steal things they would need for work like class references, tools, all of your pens in your desk, I guess, etc.

Fatima Danvers
High School student
probably target a high school teacher or general staff. Would take something easy that didn't seem personal

Lochlann Cabyll-Ushtey:
Student
Alaude's tools

Cabel Sokol
Student
Lulu's plant

Diane Valentine
Student,
She wants to steal something from Professor Zero's office, anything of importance to him.




LIST OF STAFF/OBJECTS TO BE STOLEN:
Updated 1 October 2017: I have included a "being targeted by" list for reference. Players are more than welcome to target a professor that has already been targeted! There is no limit.


Dr. Aiden Hart: coffee pot, stethoscope, favorite lab coat, kitten.
being targeted by: Nameless (Lorencia Hel'Sarie), Hyper (Marian Esperanza:)

Tucker Watanabe:
College Professor ; His favorite scarf, at least one thing from his crystal collection, his personal mini-spellbook ( A high challenge to steal, may cause bad luck, but very valuable), his daughter,
Being Targeted by:

Ildefons Draganarakta:
College Professor ; His claw accessories, a very intricate pocket watch, one of his jet injectors (You're not sure why he has one, but you decide to steal it anyway)
Being Targeted by:

Sean O'Cermait
Staff - secretary
one of his notebooks with schemes (written in code), his phone, his todo list (would be very hard to steal), various lists or all his pens
Being Targeted by:

Alaude Cross: College instructor
Items: He doesn't have anything too valuable probably but feel free to take anything from his desk/office like books, hand tools, power tools, pens, papers.
Being Targeted by: ReD (Lochlann Cabyll-Ushtey)

Cyril Dorne: Academy physician
Items: Silver bowls/chalices; unlabeled potion bottles that may or may not be filled with something inside (which means they're very dangerous if misused); notebook containing his list of ingredient; his hawk companion Hafoc is probably up for kidnapping lmao. Note: all except his companion can be found in the infirmary somewhere.
Being Targeted By: Hyper (Cadenza Tarantella:)

LuLu
College Professor
photographs, pot of lilies, his beanbag chair, various books
Being Targeted by: ReD (Cabel Sokol)

Soren MacLeod
College professor
Little folder of cards asking permission for his telepathy, his tablet pad-folio thing full of runes for spells, all of the chargers for every electronic he has, the password to his reddit account. Devastating.
Being Targeted by: Hyper (Raphael Niccolo:)


Professor Zero
Staff,
He has an old black and white image of someone, a girl. The image has a gold and silver frame.
Being Targeted by: Wizard Pikachu (Diane Valentine)



@Hyper @Boop @Nameless



UPDATE: 1 OCTOBER 2017: MISCHIEF NIGHT BEGINS

In Character Post (100% Completely Optional):
I've created an in-character Mischief Night Post if you prefer having an IC reason for your character to participate. While you're more than welcome to respond to the thread, you can assume that Raum has flown off.

You do not have to have Raum giving your character the note as the reason they participate or choose their target. Random chance and fun are plenty good.



Feel Free to use the Mischief Night Tag to make this plot easier to find!

Your character's full name: Lorencia Hel'Sarie
Is your character a student or staff?: Student
If student, what target do they want?: Aiden Hart's kitten! Though in broader a spectrum, she'd target teachers that either own something adorable, or are the type who don't get mad easily. Or can hide the rage really well.

also! would it be possible to also utilize the Social Media forum for this? like secret phone numbers or alter accounts if they want to hide their identity (or just really blatantly use their default accounts. a random thought

Hyper YES
that would definitely be great! I feel like the social media & post office don't get enough attention, but they're great for still doing character building and plots even when the player is short on time/muse/etc.

So I would 100% be thrilled if ya'll would be up for using the social media account.


I....might make a passive aggressive twitter for this lmao

ALRIGHT! It has been updated!

We could probably use a few students now, and if all of ya'll who have already submitted want to claim what object they're stealing, I'll update that next.


I'm way more hype for this than i should be

CLAIMING YOU SAY?

One day, Soren's chargers start going missing one after the other. Or was it all at once and he never noticed? After the last one, this ransom note appears. Spoiler! It's Raphael. @Lex

And oh dear! Where has Doctor Cyril's ingredient notes have gone? This too is Cadenza's fault — but he wouldn't know that. (Yet). @Trahnael

What to take: Anything Small and easy to carry. He'd be reluctantly pulled into this, so I doubt he'd want to take anything too hard to take with him. Maybe a pen, a key, a Lightswitch, etc.
