PLOT ENGAGEMENT (ARCHIVED)

[larkers]

> PLOT ENGAGEMENT (ARCHIVED)

What is Plot Engagement and how does it work within Meadowlark? This is the page where players can come discuss with us how to facilitate plots within the setting. However, there will be occasions where a plot doesn't work within Meadowlark's world, and we'll suggest alternative routes. For small worldbuilding or gameplay details, please direct your question to the FAQ. If you're ever not sure if you're at the right page, don't worry—we'll help you get it sorted out. We know we have a load of info!

WHEN WILL YOU HEAR BACK?

◉ All Plot Engagement answers go out on Sunday, except during events.
◉ The deadline to submit a question and ensure you'll hear back from us on Sunday is 11:59 PM UTC on Saturday.

PLOT ENGAGEMENT INCLUDES

◉ Player plots! If you'd like your character to become a mafia boss, this is your place to start. Typically, this involves anything that could impact the setting or other player characters.
◉ Character career advancement that gives the character additional power or status within the setting.
◉ Metaplot exploration and information! We plan all events to give characters something to explore after the event ends. This is the place to do it!

SUBMISSION TIPS

◉ Specify what your character is looking for when they're investigating. What questions are they asking and what angle are they trying to explore?
◉ If you have a specific goal in mind but don't know how to reach it, please let us know.
◉ If you link a thread to us, please summarize it! That helps us process the plot in question.
◉ Don't worry about not knowing the setting like the back of your hand before you submit the plot—that's up to us! We're here to help you with any adjustments to get you on the right track.

NOTES & THINGS THAT YOU CAN HANDWAVE

◉ Characters always start out in entry level positions. Characters can update their skill sets to the 2512 standard through paid apprenticeships or internships.

◈ If a character is advancing within a major corporation (as noted on the Setting or Locations page) or one of its subsidiaries, we will need to approve this advancement.
◈ If a character becomes a supervisor at a local bar or other small business, we do not need to approve this advancement.

◉ Joining the police force within a city requires three months of IC training (six months OOC).
◉ We'll approve whether someone has social media fame, but we will not be providing social media follower counts. Once you have a plot for how to use those followers, that's where we step in!
◉ All Morningstar business goes on our Morningstar page. Please feel free to discuss specific plots here (including joining), and go there for signups and anything else.
◉ Characters getting jobs, finding apartments, participating in the fighting rings, getting married, making workplace friends, the creation of minor NPCs, etc. do not need to be run by us. Please let us know if these expand into player plots or other plot bits!

QUICK LINKS

◉ FAQ: For small worldbuilding or gameplay details.
◉ Setting: Our setting page! We'll update as needed.
◉ Jobs: A reference for who's working where!
◉ Locations: Both major and minor locations within New Amsterdam, as well as outlines for other megacities.

[myownwoman]

cool cool yes she will start studying for a certification in order to move up -- she wants the $$$$ to eventually move to new honolulu lmao so she wants that fucking promotion

is there an ic timeline for how long that would take?

[wittingly]

RAD thank you, I'll roll with that

[larkers]

Hi again Emma,

It would most likely take at least three months ICly! This is flexible depending on how quickly she catches on and passes some of the certification tests, especially given the state of the world. Feel free to reach out to us if you'd like to play with anything here!

[myownwoman]

thanks mods!

i will let you know if i have any more questions!

god it's so hard to find an icon on this account that doesn't look somehow snarky

[purrsistence]

Sure! All good notes!

I'm happy to switch going the mercenary/ex-soldiers route here! Catra will probably try to appeal to them on the basis that she's a soldier/ex-soldier as well, was raised from birth in that system and has never known anything else, so she knows exactly where they're coming from better than anyone except maybe their own. So there's a double-whammy there of like "I have military experience, that's why we were able to successfully end the simulation, because of MY successful leadership" (even if that isn't actually entirely true and even if they weren't there to see it) combined with "I'm one of you guys and I get where you're coming from and I want to see you get justice."

Once she has a backer and finds out that they're missing their ALIGN tech and weapons/armor etc, she'll also probably try to further appeal to them by pledging to replace these things with something that's newer and better, something not controlled by the government that they can use to keep themselves "safe" and "connected," because that's also very appealing both to her and them, hey. (Whether she's actually able to do this or not is a different issue entirely, but it's something she'd pledge, and she'd definitely take a stab at genuinely trying it.)

As for patrons, Catra's probably going to take a two-pronged attack (because it's never good to put all your eggs in one basket) if she can! First focusing on a wealthy patron who isn't directly associated with any of the Big Three (I know all the Serious Money is in bed with all the corporations on some level anyway, but the important thing here is the ~appearance~ of being backed by someone "relatively" neutral, since she's coming at this from an anti-big-government angle, who won't interfere with her operations too much because of corporate interests or whatever, maybe because they BELIEVE IN THE CAUSE!!11) who she'll use as the public face of her operation/backing.

For the second prong, she'd probably like to more secretly target someone in Vyonation (or one of their subsidiaries) who is relatively high up but not satisfied with their current position ie someone she can flip, convincing them that if they work with her, they can overthrow the current leadership and take it for themselves. Because Catra knows the value of information technology, and Vyonation... has most of that, so that'll be her first port of call if they want to have any hope of fighting back against The Information Machine. (And especially if she wants to have any merits to her claims to develop new tech for the soldiers under her command later.)

ANYWAY let me know if that adequately covered all your points of concern and if everything I've suggested there is okay or needs to be modified further! Or if it's got the all-clear, lemme know and I'll work on crafting some NPCs!

cw: gore things, body disposal

[reneger]

Jason will be carefully disposing of Maeda's body over the course of several days. He'll be wandering in and out of the safe house, cutting her down to bits and pieces small enough to hide in plastic bags within his jacket (to not gain suspicion from carrying a large ass bag) and melting them down with acid in a warehouse claimed under the Kings' name. From there, he'll dispose of the liquid left over in various sinks of various establishments, using several different underlings. Once the body is out of the safe house, he'll take his time getting rid of the remnants of it. He will, however, take a bag once to take the arm of Maeda (double checking for any implanted trackers along her skin) and deliver it to Damian, because he's a good big brother.

With Durcell, he'll be going to a few of the kids he managed to snag off of them and ask them to try and deliver a message up the chain. He won't be particularly determined so if that doesn't work, he'll retry at a later date!

[angerberg]

focusing first on clearing up and resolving employment stuff, i'll return for more research later:

my understanding (from friends working there) is that modern museums hire some people who are lower skilled/expertise to do legwork. i get that this might not be the case anymore in 2512! but is there a comparable space that would have academics in the field of history available to basically serve at the behest of the wealthy to provide their cultural arts fix, but also have people who are basically there to do the legwork, as our museums of today have?

yennefer obviously doesn't have the world-specific knowledge of art and history, but she has the social skills for this type of labor, and lots of rich people don't actually have the knowledge either (again basing this off friends who are in the field) and wouldn't recognize bullshit if it was fed to them, so that's basically the kind of space/position i'm trying to find. i'm open to suggestions of what kinds of fields/positions might have that still in the ML setting.

in short:
- frequented by """cultured""" rich folks
- linked to / done in coordination with experts in the field of history (not art-exclusive)

[larkers]

Hi Tifa!

Real quick reply that hopefully helps:

Our biggest concern is that we don't feel that this route is going to get her the answers that she wants research-wise, so we think it might be best for her to consider another path that would get her the information that she wants. We're thinking someone that would perform a similar role to a librarian or information technologist, which may be an archivist who's working for a city. She could be an apprentice/training in this role, for example. Otherwise, she could help manage someone's estate, potentially being recommended for the role by the Lynch family. If you have any ideas that would be similar (or would like to make something up!), let us know!

[leaderboards]

hey mods! let's just pretend i got this in right after the event and not however long later this actually is; life got away from me. i'm following up on this comment, concerning carolina and maine wanting to help judas, based on their interactions with him before and during the event!

once information about cassius and at least the acknowledgement that judas is probably still alive, somewhere, gets around the displaced, carolina is going to start working on some ideas with regard to helping him — even if it means judas gets a little vacuum house, too, for everyone's sanity. this will involve reaching out to el, asking if ze knows where judas is and if there's any relatively easy way to contact him. if there's not, but there's a sidequest available to make it easier to communicate with judas despite johann grey and everything else that might be in the way, she'll be quick to volunteer herself and maine to do it. (and i am still coordinating with kas on this! the volun-telling is only IC, because surely that's how friendship works.)

ultimately, she'd like to see judas somewhere safer for him and more easily accessible for any allies he might be able to make/keep. ideally, this would be somewhere with the displaced, but if el would rather see him being babysat by someone from morningstar, carolina would help facilitate that, too.

questions here boil down to:

1) how does el feel about people wanting to help judas?

2) what information (or avenues for investigation) would ze give carolina once she'd expressed that desire to help?

3) what are the next best IC and OOC steps here?

and not actually plot related (probably?) but, 4) if carolina played the "i'm one of the displaced with martial training" card, would she be able to land herself a security job at one of new amsterdam's larger technology businesses (ideally at an R&D lab for something that seemed vaguely weapons related, but offices would also do) like pulsar or vyonation? this is less for immediate payoff and more so that she can attempt to establish herself as trustworthy in case there's ever information she might need to steal from whatever company she got on board with. she's keen to play the infiltration long game, even if she has no idea what she might need the access for in the future.

thanks in advance!

[realists]

slides back in for a completely unrelated question, if two people are going to casually be married should we just note it for y'all? ie they apply for the marriage license on may 8th and finalize the contract (10 years, even financial split, each other's power of attorney and health proxy, composting after death, no provision for a baby at this time) on may 22nd (pending any event upheaval)?

[larkers]

Hey again Emma,

There's no need. You can assume that they can sign the contract after the two weeks grace period and let us know if you have any questions!

[realists]

👌👌👌👌👌

[warfares]

hello modlies,

i realize i'm still on hiatus technically but i thought i'd slide in a few questions as they occurred to me.

1. forgive me, by the way, if this topic has ever been covered somewhere else but is it possible to live in other cities now or are we still expected to be based in new amsterdam?

2. what is the underground situation in new prague like? do they have gangs similarly to those of new amsterdam.

3. what is the art scene like in new prague? i know it draws a lot on old prague in terms of its inspiration so will it be more traditional or will it be a less structured.

alternatively 4. and forgive me for not necessarily knowing how to frame this but are there any security firms in new amsterdam that could potentially be looking for new hires?

[filloryfanatic]

Hi I did see the replies to my comments, just going to chat with Tifa about these and brainstorm more about what I meant in my other comment. Didn't want you to think I was ignoring. :D Thank you!

[commend]

hello mods!

a few things!

for Scott, he's planning on taking the mantle of welcoming committee chair. this will include trying to stock up on better clothing, doing grocery runs, light manual labor, laundry, cleaning. is there any kind of safe house expense account or is this all going to be out of pocket?

also, he has been given the idea of the very few pets that may exist, probably under the wealthy's care? is this true? if this is true, is there a certain network of information he could fall into? he could very well be an on-call at-home vet for the elite should they have some of the few animals in existence? (obviously, this could all be IC conjecture)

separately, for William! he's finally going to start to delve into how tech works in this particular year. is there something out there like a low level geek squad type deal that could help William fix or alter tech in this century? furthermore, if he went digging into code and tried to crack anything, what would he find? could he modify the code of say, a message, to include a ... Gif or something that so far hasn't been utilized?

How would hacking work, or is it even possible?

Essentially, I want to know what the process would entail with William really tinkering around with the network and the tech at this time. Genius level intellect is a moot point when you're completely unfamiliar.

Barring hands-on futzing, are there basic classes William could take to get a better lay of the neural network?

ALSO, is there also a place of old tech, like a repair shop? he could do that, too.

[forcevisions]

Thanks for the quick response, mods! Dee and I had a chance to chat over it and here's what we came up with. Some parts are questions, some parts are vague half-question half-plans, so apologies in advance for the muddiness.

Regarding a plan of how to establish connection:

1) Rey and Quentin will definitely still be looking into Ball's death, and will share any information with the worshippers. This means asking them for known connections, googling his real name, and trying to follow-up with any known associates to the name (i.e., work, family, estate management even). They don't buy that his death was a tragic accident at all.

2) Otherwise, what work are the worshippers doing right now? What could Quentin and Rey potentially help with? It's not really clear to us what the worshippers do other than construct murals and organize festivals. If there is an upcoming festival, they're happy to help, or if they need lookouts to keep the cops from interrupting mural stuff lol. But we'd like a bigger picture, if possible, of just what being a part of this Worshipper group involves in terms of actions they take that Rey and Quentin could join or contribute to.

And regarding information they're pursuing about the worshippers:

3) What is their religion called? We'd like to have a way to refer to them that isn't Ball's people or the Worshippers. Names are important.

4) How is their group currently structured? Who is in charge now that Ball is gone? (Will there be a new NPC leader?)

5) What was Ball's role? How did he financially support them? What will they do without his financial support, or what happened to his money when he died?

6) Again, touched on this before, but what do they DO exactly? As an organization, what are their goals for this world? What actions are they taking right now to get towards those goals?

7) What are their goals for the Displaced, or put another way, what role does their religion see the Displaced playing? What do the Worshippers want from the Displaced, or how do they want to engage them?

[larkers]

Hi again, Emiri!

A few things to keep in mind:

• The soldiers won't understand how she's an ex-soldier herself. Bear in mind that the only military force in this world since the end of World War III was the UNA, and these assignments last for life. All of them being discharged is a highly unlikely and unusual outcome, as there is no historical precedence. Catra will need to go back to the drawing board on this one, as it's unlikely that she's going to be able to convey that information easily to them. Even claiming that she's a mercenary herself who's cut ties with other groups may help!

• We'll add that Catra can already be armed with the knowledge that these soldiers will be without their gear. She's run into them already in the UNA HQ in New Beijing, and seen them at their strongest (while they were on their way out of the base at the end of the mission). Given that this technology is strongly identified as being a part of the UNA, she'll be able to piece together that they'll be without what makes them special. No extra legwork needed here!

• In terms of a backer, it may not hurt for her to see if she can get in with Simone Durcell. While Durcell does work with Pulsar, they have an anti-government stance and they're already building ties with Jason and Loki. We suggest that you hit up Jessi if you're interested in that angle. Otherwise, someone neutral is probably someone more suited to the criminal underground. Trying to get an in with one of the mobs may be a good bet for Catra, especially since they have the money to spend. We don't have a lot of the mafia leadership developed just yet, so there is a lot of developmental space you can use here. Keep in mind that Durcell does overlap with the mob in their motivations, but the mob is underhanded enough to two-time Durcell.

• We'd like to know how she intends to identify someone at Vyonation for this purpose! They aren't the only dealers in information in New Amsterdam. For example, Catra could try to buy the allegiances of the Hi-Jacks, who are a tech savvy hacker gang. She can also try to find someone who left the Hi-Jacks and get them on her side, though this will understandably be much more difficult.

Overall, we do think that a lot of your leads will lead you back to Jessi at this point, and we do think that you have an opportunity to work with her given Catra and Jason's close relationship. If you're not interested in that, that's perfectly fine, but Jason does hold a lot of information of interest to Catra.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

[larkers]

Hey there Jessi,

That sounds really gross. Since acid only will dissolve the fleshy bits, he'll still have the bones and teeth to contend with as well. There won't be any implant or trackers in her skin, but there will still be DNA that could possibly be traced back. The investigation is ongoing, and Aoi's husband, Jun, is very tenacious. While the police might not make much headway with the slew of responsibilities that they currently are dealing with, Jun's hired detectives will be able to make some headway on the movement of the DNA, especially if Jason takes Aoi's arm to Damian.

There won't be any outright involvement with law enforcement, because the evidence that Jun has is flimsy at best, but it will be enough to convince him of something suspicious. While Aoi was definitely the backbone of their relationship, Jun will hold on to his wife's legacy. He may suspect both Jason's and Damian's involvement, but instead of outright confronting them, he'll be more interested in drawing them out. He'll begin to focus on Displaced-centered places, including Red Wings. There may be some (not very subtle) surveillance out on them.

Let us know what Damian plans on doing with Maeda's arm, and how Mason may follow-up with Hideki!

Durcell's response will come down from one of their mercenaries, but they'll be willing to negotiate a meeting.

[larkers]

Hi Dk!

When it comes to trying to get her hands on Judas, we do encourage you to send Carolina to El's inbox, who is likely to then direct her to Cassius. Cassius knows much more about Judas' situation and mental state than El does at this point, so that's where she'll end up needing to go. Judas is still with Johann, which means that getting a hold of him isn't going to be a simple task, but it's a plot that she and Maine can get started on by interfacing with the AI.

As for the job question, yes, she would be able to get a security gig at one of the big companies. In fact, Jack (Soldier: 76) works security at Giles Bell and used to work at Vyonation, so it's definitely an option. She'd obviously have to go through an application process, but you can assume she gets hired!

[larkers]

Hey Mal!

1. Yes, characters can live wherever they'd like! The fast travel system makes it easy to bounce back and forth between cities, but if characters want to move elsewhere, they'll have to do it officially. They'll need to take a train and declare their exit from New Amsterdam and their entry to their new city to customs, and won't be able to just pop through the gates and set up shop. Once that's done, though, they're good to go. Keep in mind that if they move to a city, they will only be allowed to legally work in that location.

2 & 3. Because there are so many megacities, we wanted to give the playerbase a chance to help flesh them out. Not much is set in stone for New Prague yet, but feel free to head over to the megacities section on the location page if you'd like to expand on that with a write-up!

4. This depends specifically on what Kylo is looking for. There are security firms hiring all the time, but the assignments will be for more "low risk" jobs as an entry level applicant. For anything more serious, like high security buildings, guarding sensitive information, or protecting important people, he'll have to work his way up and build his reputation a bit first. If you feel he did that during his time in the simulation, feel free to assume he got an early promotion. However, please keep in mind that if he relocates to New Prague, he won't be able to use any of his simulatory promotions.

[larkers]

Hi Brandon!

Scott's efforts to make the new Displaced feel welcome would be much appreciated, but in terms of funding all that Morningstar can provide is the stipends that each new arrival is given to help them get on their feet (mentioned in each arrival log). Anything done in addition to that would have to come from the Displaced themselves, as the safehouse essentially belongs to them.

As for pets, it is true that some of the mega-wealthy in New Amsterdam and other cities do have animals like dogs, cats, birds, and some reptiles. However, when it comes to hiring on vets, they would want someone who's got a lot of experience and who they feel they can trust, so it's unlikely that Scott would be able to get into this line of work right off the bat. If you want him to be able to work with animals, he would be able to get an entry level job at a place where these ultra-rich board their animals when they go on trips, whether for business, vacation, etc.

It wouldn't be very exciting work. There would be a lot of cleaning up poop, helping with feeding times, and at least a little bit of playing with the animals/taking dogs on walks/etc. However, this might be a means for Scott to slowly start to form a relationship with one of these pet-owners. He could also start working on a vet tech certification on the side!

Now for William's questions: Hacking is possible, but it'll take some figuring out for William to transfer his skills and knowledge. To be clear, the "network" or "neural network" that almost all public communication takes place on, such as the Cooltalk accounts, all general information people run into on a day to day basis, forums, news, etc., is just the internet. This is separate from the network the characters use to communicate, which is run by Morningstar (and more specifically, El). The Morningstar network is run on the internet, but works off a private server and acts more like a forum for the PCs to interact.

William's ability to hack into certain systems will vary widely depending on what he's hacking into. Getting access to someone's Cooltalk account will be much easier than getting access to the UNA's databases, for example. The Morningstar network will also be impossible for William to crack, and he'll be dealing with El in that instance. Since El is a security AI, zeir encryption is top notch. William won't have a lot of luck there.

As for learning, William will absolutely be able to teach himself how current technology works through online workshops, his own tinkering and research, etc. There's not going to be any sort of apprenticeship or certificate process that will teach him to hack—that's shady stuff, and more the purview of the underground. There are some gangs, like the Hi-Jacks, that focus solely on hacking, but they won't take him under their wing out of the kindness of their hearts. He'll have to grab their attention by performing some relatively impressive hacks himself. If he wants, he can also get a job with Vyonation, but he will need to start at the entry level and work his way up.

There aren't any "old tech" repair shops anywhere anymore! All of the technology from the 21st and 22nd centuries are considered the realm of academia.

[larkers]

Hey Tifa, thanks for the questions!

1. Looking into Ball's death will bring up an obituary with some information about his family. He's the son of Fadi and Basira Kattan, and he died at the age of 33. He was born on December 5, 2479. However, there aren't a lot of social media records for Matek, which may be in line with the fact that he is the head of a group that's not very fond of technology as a whole. Despite his jovial personality, he was reclusive.

As it is, his father is one of the board members for Pulsar, which is why Matek got a job at Tempo (a subsidiary of Pulsar) despite having a limited job history. It'll be difficult to trace many of Ball's friends because of his limited social media presence.

However, they can find some leads if they look into Basira and Fadi's social media history. The two of them have Cooltalks dating back to before Ball's birth, though they're rather perfunctory in nature, acting as a timeline for their lives. Both of them will have a post on December 6, 2479 notating the birth of their daughter, along with a name that can be presumed to be Matek's deadname. There will be a lot of gatherings with another family, the Mattos, as well as postings of their children spending a lot of time together. It's around when Ball is six years old that his parents begin referring to him as their son, as well as the name Matek. At this point, he appears to be best friends with the daughter of that other family, Julianna Mattos. Despite Ball's reclusiveness and reluctance to be on social media, his parents do have a record of him throughout the years. Julianna is often there alongside him sporting a stern expression to Ball's jovial smiles.

However, further research into the woman who appeared to be Ball's best friend will turn up little. Like Ball, she has little to no social media presence.

2. Keep in mind that, again, Rey and Quentin will not be able to join this group because of what they represent to them! That said, they're very private about their worship because it's a very, very counter-culture idea. They object to technology as a whole in a highly technical world, and seem to believe that humanity would be better off without it. This leads to their sparse online presence. They seek out evidence of god in the world through nature and community, while trying to push ways for humanity to detach itself from a reliance upon technology. Thus, they do things like pickling, fermentation, composting, and they're probably running a greenhouse and providing surplus produce and foodstuffs for poor people in the area.

If your thoughts upon reading that is, "That's not very organized." Well, that's true. Keep reading, please!

3. There's no name for the religion! This is in part because there will be a sense that any (minimal) organization has happened during Ball's lifetime. Knowledge of this culture and its gods was largely lost in this world, so there's no history for them to draw from. The people believing it are a minority group.

4. There is barely any structure. While Ball was undoubtedly the "head" and the "funder" of the wider encompassment of activities, he didn't impose a structure upon them. Now that he's gone, there will be a new NPC head, but we would prefer for the PCs to discover that organically through play!

5. Ball was the "leader" in the loosest sense of the term. He wasn't a religious figure by any means, but did help spread the word of the seven gods and the spiritual connotations connected to it. A lot of their activities became more prominent after the appearance of the Displaced. Prior to that, he largely ran the Insomniac Ball and served as a way for people of their belief system to gather and worship.

6. Their goals are, as of now, faith and worship, but they will definitely use the simulation as motivation for humanity discarding technology so that they can once more be in touch with the gods. They'll be using the glitches as proof, as the Displaced were the ones causing that with their glowing powers. Ball was not a very goal-oriented person before this, so he was focused on philanthropy, good deeds, trying to help the community, and all the food preservation and processing that was mentioned before.

As a group, they have a lot of different ideas, but have never really thought about how to execute any of them. Much of this is because they're a younger group that has only existed for half of Ball's life. As an idealist, Ball wanted the group to focus on spirituality and the aforementioned good deeds rather than trying to make their ideals (such as the rejection of technology) into reality for society as a whole. It was more about living according to their beliefs: using as little technology as possible while living a "natural" life in New Amsterdam. We will add that this will be changing in the near future, and Quentin and Rey have the opportunity to see that in motion.

7. As you'd expect, their goals for the Displaced aren't as focused. They do believe the Displaced are evidence of the gods returning/waking up, but none of the worshippers have any special information like Ball himself had about their arrival in this world. In fact, they seem to be much like New Amsterdam's citizens in not quite grasping/believing that the Displaced are from another world.

Since they believe that people who are god-touched are meant to pursue their own aims with the gods' "permission" (so to speak), they want to help the Displaced reach their goals. To them, it's like helping a god succeed. As of right now, the Displaced haven't asked for a whole lot from them!

Let us know if there are any follow-up questions from this, and we can point you further in the direction you'd like to take!

[commend]

thank you, mods!

[reneger]

bone can be sanded down, no worries. ;) jason will take his time slowly throwing out bits of maeda all over new amsterdam. he'll be careful to keep evidence to a minimum and spread it enough that it'd be extremely hard to track down to jason himself, if not impossible.

he'll also be careful to keep her dna from spreading from the arm before handing it off and (possibly, pending what damian decides to do with it) after.

as for jason: he goes to redwings often enough that the increase in trips won't seem out of place, but after getting all of maeda out will lower his trips down significantly. he'll head out to a nice fancy hotel with loki and after--not leave his apartment much at all for a while!

aside from that, jason doesn't visit displaced-centered places much at all. and he's tired enough post-event not to rise to the bait. if there was evidence, he's sure they'd be coming down on him a lot harder / with law enforcement involvement so he'll wait it out.

he'll get back to durcell after some downtime, and ask them to meet him in an abandoned building right on the edge of the outlaws' territory.
