This is the OOC Discussion Thread for: Carnival
In the spirit of our beloved Blue Moon Masquerade Role Play, the Rio Carnival is an Open RP for both VILE and ACME agents.

Premise
Selected Agents from ACME are performing a stakeout operation against suspected Drug Lord Barbas Chuate. Barbas is said to be holding a meeting at the Copacabana Palace's Gold Room while the Magic Ball takes place in the hotel and Carnival parades continue on surrounding streets.

ACME will be trying to subtly keep tabs on people entering and leaving the room.

For any V.I.L.E. players, the hotel is also hosting a large collection of Colonial Era Portuguese artifacts as part of the Carnival celebration. What these items are will be up to you as the story builds.

V.I.L.E. is welcomed to join and add mischief. Larger heists and plots are greatly encouraged though anything that requires a lot of reaction posts from other players should be discussed before implementation to help flow.

Where:
Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.
Copacabana Palace, a 5-star hotel and former casino situated right on the coast of Copacabana Beach. [Google Map Link]

[tabs=bcenter|500x700]
{slide=Hotel Photo|center|open}
{/slide}
{slide=Floorplan|center}

{/slide}
{slide=Magic Ball|center}
Our story takes place at one of Rio's most exclusive balls, the Copacabana Palace Hotel's Magic Ball. This year, the date falls on March 1st, 2014.

Dress code: Black tie/ballgown, costumes, or a mix of both.
Theme: Salvador Dalí, Surrealism and the art movements of the 20s. [According to this Portuguese/Brazilian news site]

"This legendary ball is not just the high point of the night but also the most famous Carnival ball; the natural choice for glamour and sophistication. Luxury costume or black tie/evening dress is required, and a number of international and local VIPs are always among the guests." -- From Rio-Carnival.net

Role Play Note: This is a game. Have fun, and don't take the little details too seriously.

[/tabs]

This is where the rich and affluent go to celebrate Carnival. In our RP the Palm, Gallery and Crystal Rooms are open to guests who can watch the Carnival parade and beach from the seclusion of the balcony. The Golden Room is where we suspect Barbas Chuate is.

When:
This RP takes place on March 1st, 2014.

Rules:
Standard RP Rules apply. We will be world and plot building as we go along so pay close attention to each other's posts.

Okay, nice. Do we want to establish what we need from Mr. Chuate before we continue? I'd also like to request a list of all participating V.I.L.E. agents for tabs as we go along.

Also maybe a rough plot.

And how many of you are staying at the hotel? It's going into the expense report... that @Ivy has to write.

I'm in! Costumes are right up my ally! Though I'm sure as far as capers go, the boss probably has something in mind

Spring-Heeled Jack,
Spring-Heeled Jack will be there, though in the persona of Johnathan B. Nimble, young British aristocrat with an injured leg who has to walk with a cane. Up to the ACMEs how much they suspect JB, but I would prefer that there's no solid proof that he's Spring-Heeled Jack, if that's alright.

Edit: It won't go on the ACME expense report, but he's also staying in the hotel. In his room is a trunk that has all the stuff he needs to become Jack.

Working with @Molly for the setup of the forensics lab. Additionally I think @Cali and @Deric should be on the advanced group that arrived on the 27th of February due to the formers knowledge of the area and the latter's language skills and experience in undercover operations

If it's Carmen's birthday, Patty's definitely here for a reason.

Gudrun will join the lab team? She's more the mythology student, but I think I can say she's doing lab assistance as field work credits? (@Chase)

@[USERGROUP=6]VILE[/USERGROUP] Agents!

For all intents and purposes, there's going to be one running "background story" underneath all the individual character stories. @Carmen will be in Rio de Janeiro for her birthday. Last year it was at Ibiza, this year, Rio. VILE agents are invited to join for a little get-together, and anyone in the area will receive a text message from... *reads*

ME!

Of course you know when it's Carmen, it's never just one thing, so stay tuned and make yourself available, kiddies, it's going to be a party!

At the moment, while we're still developing story arcs, I'm going to suggest both [USERGROUP=5]ACME[/USERGROUP] and [USERGROUP=6]VILE[/USERGROUP] pick a partner or partners for writing. You'll naturally fall into this game pacing anyway, and you may switch partners as you go.

For example, Nace Bilby is writing primarily with Molly. And the bunker boys may start out together then individually split to write with other narrators.

It's a basic buddy-system. The purpose is to minimize mass interaction, and you will be helping your partners come up with story arcs and ideas. And yes, you may have ACME-VILE partnerships for writing, feel free to drag Dr. Roux into your stories, he's shy.

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
