PLOT PLOT PLOTTERY i apologize for tl;dr in advance
OKAY GUYS. It's been ten days and most of the new votes aren't recent, so it seems like people are more or less done voting in the plot poll! The mods have stated that any attack on the darkness is going to be player driven and, while this may not have been the best time for a lot of us OOCly, our characters wouldn't ICly forget that this was a thing! Considering that the plot meeting took place 3 IC days ago and that was supposed to be where the decision we were addressing with the vote took place, we should probably get cracking on OOCly planning this out. Here is my proposal:
1→ Handwave that the characters discussed and agreed on when the attack would be ICly at the meeting on day 259 and have been working with that goal in mind since then! You can say your character heard about it any way you like.
2→ Decide on a firm ooc date for the plot to take place now! It looks like the poll is leaning heavily towards "an IC week after the meeting" both oocly and icly, which at a 3/1 day ratio puts us at about July 12 for an attack. This would make the weekend of July 13 a great time for all this to go down! Let's make that our plan.***
3→ Decide what we're oocly planning to do as preparation before that plot happens! ASSUMING WE DO GO WITH "ON JULY 13," some things that was brought up heavily during the IC discussions that did occur were fortification and disguise. A couple of characters can do some planning/setup with relevant Personae either offscreen or onscreen over the week — then we can have a big but low-intensity preparatory post this coming weekend to facilitate a way to further fortify the Great Hall against anything that'd get in while the barriers were down and make sure stealthy recon could happen. I'm thinking "joint-Personae mass quest!" I believe the Personae who were going to be consulted on defense and stealth were Guinevere and Columbine, so whatever can be worked out with those Personae players and the mods would be good.
4→ Showcase what our characters are doing in preparation in general, especially if your character WOULD be doing things but it's all mostly offscreen at the moment (I'm in this boat!) In the mass quest post or in another post designed for that. For example, Josh and Mau's siege weapon lessons or bomb handling lessons for the list of people who donated to Shark's bomb making efforts and would have a continuing interest in that would go there! These could be handwaved and the post could just contain talking about those afterwards but some showcasing of it would be good.
5→ Clear up what our characters would want to be helping out with so we can build up to that icly or plot how characters would be interacting over it over the next week! It's probably okay to handwave how your character got roped into whatever you want them to be doing if we establish who and what by then — we can always say it was discussed at that IC meeting that got sort of left hanging OOCly, or put up on the bulletin board. I'm going to put a bunch of subheaders in this post for people to comment to indicating interest (like Josh and Mau did on their bulletin board signup, except OOC instead of IC) so we can get a start on that.
Please feel free to add more subheaders! Or propose a completely different plan! I'm adding a subheader to discuss why I'm dumb and this is all a bad idea just in case. None of my characters would ICly be leading the effort here and I'm OOCly on nothiatus and about to go take an exam as soon as this is posted, so I'm about as far from in charge of this as it's possible to be! LET THE IDEAS FLOW.

CHARACTERS WHO'D BE INTERESTED IN DEFENDING THE WALLS
VIA WEAPONS EXPERTISE
Re: VIA WEAPONS EXPERTISE
He'll either do this or scouting depending on what I'm available/up for at the time and what works best for everyone else.

Re: VIA WEAPONS EXPERTISE
Note: split between this and the seige weapon. Basically wherever he's needed at the wall.
Re: VIA WEAPONS EXPERTISE
Joy has been putting things she can animate (mostly blobby snow sculptures) on the walls. She's also got a gargoyle the size of a small dog and a stuffed dog.
She's also trying to get a bow since Jill taught her some archery.
VIA SIEGE WEAPON
Re: VIA SIEGE WEAPON
NOTE: she will be near Selenia as much as possible!!
