May State of the RP/Plotting
WELCOME TO HELL MONTH!
So, yeah, a lot of stuff is going down this month. I think this month more than any other will need us to post to this thing to keep track of who's going where and doing what.
On top of that, we should probably give each other a heads up on what's going on in our characters' lives right now, even before the events. Any new developments? A change in their emotional state due to a recent event in their life? Plans they're working on? Anything.
For reference, HERE is the main plot rundown and HERE is the opt-out plot rundown.

Emotional state of the Jamie and what he's been doing and things: Mostly he's been working trying to get his gardens idea set up, spending time with the Doctors, and spending lots of time with Clara. He also painted a rune on him and ran around the city a lot, which meant he cuddled up with any Doctor he could find and especially cuddled up with Clara and confessed some feelings to her (which is still in the process of being threaded out because I am nothing if not slow). Over all, though, he's been in a fairly happy state of mind when things aren't going wrong in Asgard.
And that brings us to this month, where he will be staying in the city. However, since his general intent would be that of 'wanting to go with the Doctor' on the trip, I'm waffling between him getting caught up in something and missing when people leave or seeing if there's any Doctors that are going on the the trip that would ask him specifically to stay behind to keep an eye on things. So I will put it out here and see if there's volunteers and if not just kinda go with it.
While he is stuck in the city, though, he's going to not have an easy time of it - he'll be disappearing sporadically, he's going to forget his CR from time to time and eventually he's going to forget his canon (and the Doctor) entirely, at least for a little bit. I'm hoping to get some situations where he's talking to people and vanishing in the middle of a conversation, doing some things where he's essentially his pre-canon (or post-canon) self, murdering a poor unsuspecting appliance with Whale and having some terrible times where he forgets the people he loves. Or is forgotten by the people he loves, which is all good.
Annnnd considering he knows that he's fated to forget all these things anyway, once he remembers again he's not going to be a happy camper. So there you are.

Other than that, he's just recently come back from a canon update which has put him through to the end of "City of Death". Once hell month is over he could probably also stand to be nudged in the general direction of getting a job, especially if the Whohouse is going to be a thing.

Right, so, Ril will be staying in Asgard since Six is still grey. She's also been put into the lottery for Original Characters plot. We'll see how that goes and how effed up that is. Edit: With Six gone from Asgard completely, this month is really Hell month for Ril. Once she semi-recovers, and with Eight gone, she'll never leave the hospital, really.
She's pretty much back from being a flat, emotionless wreck, after Hawkeye's rejection, so she's got a subdued, but pretty normal range of emotions. That said, with Six out of the picture, she's gonna be crashing in people's beds and maybe quietly huggy. She'll basically be anywhere that's not the bed she shares with Six - more so since he's actually gone. With Eleven and Four out of the city and Eight gone. Jesus Christ on a pogo stick. I've got
horridthreads up:⌛ Early 339: Eight
⌛ Evening 339: Four
⌛ Early 440: Eleven & the TARDIS
Week One: Day 441-442 / May 1-3
Day 441 ( May 1 ): OPEN FOR PLOTTING. ⌛ Braxiatel; Six disappears from the lists; Ril with her hands everywhere at Time & Tea and at the hospital. Distract her. With things. God is she going to look like hell.
Week Two: Days 443-445 / May 4-9
Day 443 ( May 4/5 ): OPEN FOR PLOTTING. General: The usual of Ril shoving herself at the hospital and working herself nearly to death so she doesn't think too much about Six being gone. She'll have to stop herself wandering on autopilot after shifts though, because she'll just wander and not know what to do with herself.
Someone just needs to pull her into bed and keep her there.Might disappear for a day somewhere in here, which might be good. Dead people?Week Three: Days 446-449 / May 11-17
Day 446 ( May 10/11 ): SEMI-OPEN FOR PLOTTING. I'll know more wtf is going on here when we know who, what, where, when of the original characters volunteer thing. In any case, sleeping for her is not really happening and she'll grab cat naps here and there.
The volunteer opportunity for original characters takes place during this week.
Week Four: Days 450-452 / May 18-23
Day 450 ( May 18/19 ): Travellers begin having terrifying and painful nightmares whenever they fall asleep. These dreams are short-lived, easy to wake from, and immediately forgotten upon waking. <-- That's Ril normal shit. But she'll have worse ones and possibly wake screaming more than a few times; probably about Six. Dead people. Pls be standing over her. Because. JFC.
Week Five: Days 453-456 / May 24-31
Day 453 ( May 24/25 ): The Travellers' nightmares worsen to vivid images of their world's destruction. These dreams are long-lasting, difficult to wake from, and may remain vivid upon waking. --> Like she doesn't have this dream enough.
Day 455 ( May 28/29 ): The ghosts grow restless and aggressive, becoming capable of throwing small objects by sheer will. --> Dead family, pls?
Day 456 ( May 30/31 ): [AKA FUCK THE NORN ASDFHKSDFKDSF TIME]
I don't even know. Come plot with me?

And once that was over, he got cuddled by a few people, and in the process, ran into Jack Harkness and Six. That was fun. No, really, he was glad to see them.
Currently, he's working on finding employment, and just for simplicity's sake, he might wind up working with Brax on the radio, though I'm still deciding about whether that will be a definitive thing or not.
As for this month's events, he will definitely be staying in the city. He'll also be getting some fairly sizable helpings of memory loss and nightmares as a continued sort of 'welcome to Asgard' thing.
For the memory loss bit, I think he'll just start by forgetting some of the CR he's begun to build, and eventually progress to forgetting about his companions. I'm also open to have him be forgotten about, which is a surefire way to improve his mood.
So, I think that's everything I've got planned for the moment.

What disappearing he does will be brief and honestly more of a nuisance to anyone not Brax. You're free to forget him for the thirty seconds he's gone, though, because that's hilarious.
Aside from that, he'll be progressively weirded out and worried about it and try harder and harder to hide. Lots of tea drunk, being grumpy and raiding the damned Library.
Anyone up for being forgotten should let me know, otherwise, he's just going to forget bits and pieces.

some of them a little lateand checked on everyone after the flooding -- either with a passing inspection or outright going up to them. At Alice's suggestion the TARDIS has been putting together emergency plans, which are not yet complete but people may notice there are bags around the various places they live that are filled with the sort of supplies one would need if having to abandon the houses again.She did not do the rune-god power transfer but that doesn't mean she wouldn't cuddle anyone who did. When Four told her about what he found in Odin's office, she encouraged and helped him spread the word and starting prepping to go to Ginnungagap with him. Also, she texted all of the Doctors to reveal a surprise she has for him. It's the shell of the TARDIS that she got from the last regain plot for those of us who haven't gotten that far yet. Open it up and it's essentially empty.
That brings us up to the recent events. The TARDIS is going to introduce Jenny to the rest of the family before she leaves for Ginnungagap so everyone gets a chance to say 'hi'.
She is going to help guide the trip to Ginnungagap and will be asking Eight & the rest to look after Alice since Eleven is going too. It's a dangerous trek and the path is filled with Fire giants but she's been studying runic magic so she'll be okay on the way there. Once in the fallen city the TARDIS will help figure out what they went there for. Since this plot has random death rolls, if she gets slotted to die (unless one of the special people) then the trip home will be where it happens since there will be even more giants waiting around for them.
Really half of the plans for Ginnungagap might change depending on the roll of the deaths.no subject

It also doesn't help that he's died again, and the body he has here in Asgard is breaking down, starting with his hearing. It's only moderate hearing loss, though, so he's not totally deaf, he just sometimes misses what people are saying if he's not paying attention to their mouth. He's definitely hiding this, though he might end up admitting it to Brax soon. (Cuddle thread? I'm not sure.) Thankfully the school is still closed, I think, so he hasn't had to deal with the whole being a half-deaf music teacher thing yet.
Other than that he's been mostly keeping out of trouble, helping the cleanup and taking care of refugees where he can and sharing not!dad duties with Lee.
Aaanyway, event stuff! Eight is staying in Asgard, for one thing.
Week 1 (May 1-3) Well, I say "staying", but in actuality, he's going to be disappearing. I'm going to be using his lost connection to the gods as a way to sneak in a minor canon update to Dark Eyes 2. There isn't too much that will change, except that Eight will know another incarnation of the Master, and he'll know that there's worse things out there than the Daleks, and they're called the Eminence. (They're so bad that he actually helped the Daleks destroy them, and considering Eight's feelings about Daleks, that's bad.)
I will be keeping him out through the second "week", bringing him back late on the 9th.
Week 2 (May 4-9) Still gone.
Week 3 (May 11-17) Eight forgetting people might actually be a bit hilarious, considering his canon memory issues, often having his brain messed with so that he forgets people and even his own name. I'm not sure who he'd forget, though. Maybe everyone, except previous selves. Who knows? Anyone want to plot something here?
As for canon events, I may have him forget meeting Alex, which will confuse the hell out of him since he has a picture of the boy with his mother and Lucie on his nightstand. It's hard to decide, since most of the things he can forget wouldn't ever get mentioned. I suppose that means I can just handwave 'em, but...yeah. I'll work on it.
Week 4 (May 18-23) Ohhh yes, Eight has plenty of nightmare fuel in his brain. This is going to freak him out just a bit, because the situation is frighteningly similar to what happened in the Corruption event. Including the psychological damage from lack of sleep because every time he tries to sleep, he's awakened by nightmares.
Week 5 (May 24-31) I think he's probably going pretty well out of his mind at this point. Between the nightmares getting worse and making it even more impossible to get any sleep, he'll be freaking out about being Corrupted again, and what he might be doing while he thinks he's asleep. (Because what he was doing last time was torturing and killing natives, unbeknownst to his waking mind.)
If there's anything in that spiel that interests anyone, go for it. I'm just going to play it out however it strikes me on the day unless someone has an idea of something specific that they want to do with it. I'm up for anything.

No idea if he's gonna die. I'm leaving that up to the rolling. But if he gets rolled, I'll probably have it happen after they get to Ginnungagap. And then there could be ghost shenanigans. We shall see.
I have no specific plans tho really so. WHO ELSE IS GOING? 8)

Week One-Two: Not much will happen with Jack for the start of the event, unless; I'm considering having him disappear for a day or two. Not for long, but- considering. >.> If anyone would be interested in playing around with this...
Week Three: Jack's going to lose his canon memory from Parting of Ways forward; he'll remember facing down the Daleks, up until his line "I kinda figured that," and then nothing else. He won't remember any of his canonmates except for the Ninth Doctor and Rose. This will probably last through the end of the month.
Week Four-Five: Jack will definitely be suffering nightmares. Once the dreams are able to be remembered and start getting worse, they'll be dreams of all the deaths he's suffered, plus dreams of the wars he fought in on Earth, the war he fought in before joining the Time Agency, and of the destruction of the Boeshane peninsula.

In terms of the event? She'll be staying in Asgard. Fun memory times and freaking out when she finds Eight gone and tiny baby Doctor.
