<p>Everyone notices a jump in systime of almost a year, no one phys-side will give them a straight answer. Turns out someone figured out how to make a self-replicating virus a la the syringes that wound up essentially shredding the system. It was recovered (another thing phys-side is cagey about), but there are some changes. Maybe a small percentage of people don’t return</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Marsh (they/them) — <em>tracker</em> — Root instance; disappears shortly before Reed is to merge down<ul>
|
|
<li>Reed (he/him) — Relationship fork, merges down to sync up once a year, discovers Marsh is missing, date has jumped, has to lean on partner and clade, tries to stay level-headed and organized, embroiled but tries to take leadership, though whether that’s his idea or he’s forced into that role is up for debate<ul>
|
|
<li>Sedge (she/her) — Interested in people (check this)<ul>
|
|
<li>Tule (he/him) — (TOO-lee) In a relationship with Dry Grass</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Rush (ve/ver) — Interested in sims, a bit rambunctious, excitable</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Lily (she/her) — Upset at the Odists (especially the fact that Tule and Cress are in a relationship with one)</li>
|
|
<li>Cress (it/its) — In a relationship with Dry Grass, the smollest</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><em>Pierre</em> LaFontaine (he/him) — <em>tasker</em> — In a relationship with Marsh, has a bit of a hard time controlling his emotions, specifically grief</li>
|
|
<li>Fenne <em>Vos</em> (she/her) — <em>tasker</em> — In a relationship with Marsh, singer, does her best to stay strong, but it comes with an edginess</li>
|
|
<li><em>Hanne</em> Marie (she/her)— <em>tasker</em> — In a relationship with Reed, a bit short-tempered, easily overwhelmed, which leads her to lash out</li>
|
|
<li>I Remember The Rattle Of <em>Dry Grass</em> of the Ode clade (she/her)— <em>dispersionista</em> — In a relationship with Tule and Cress, tries to be helpful, kind of irks Reed and Hanne (more so than Reed), though they do their best to hide it</li>
|
|
<li>Günay (she/her) — <em>phys-side</em> — system engineer, chill type, worker on situation, goes against manager’s wishes to talk more with </li>
|
|
<li>en4 (they/them) — <em>phys-side</em> — system engineer, zero chill type, manager of situation, member of a more conservative collective, from which the terrorist collective split</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Subplot: Reed and Dry Grass get together. Fuck it. Their hold over me is too strong.</p>
|
|
<p>NB: It’s frankly astonishing how few cats there are in this story. Fix that.</p>

<li class="done0"> Part 2 — Phys-side is being a little sketchy about what happened, turns out there was a reset and a lot of work behind the scenes after a coordinated attack between phys- and sys-side, taking the form of a generalized weapon that wiped out most of the System. Large chunks of it were restored after a lot of work and help from the Artemisians, but not total success — virus loophole was fixed (incl singular attacks), but no guarantee there won’t be another work-around, plans to split the System into smaller pieces, move some of them to Earth/Sun Lagrange points<ul>

<li class="done0"> Part 3 — The ramifications, both global and personal (but mostly personal) — a lot of talk among the Marshans, their partners, and a chill phys-side syseng — looking into trying to reconstruct Marsh by cross-tree merging Reed, Lily, and Cress — it doesn’t work, so it turns into coming to terms with letting go of the past<ul>
