Third Law Collaborative Brainstorming Page

This is a collaborative sandbox page for Third Law writers, containing lists of Third Law drafts and pieces of brainstorming of varying degrees of canonicity.

Drafts and Pitches

This tab contains the list of drafts for Third Law articles and pitches for future articles that are being worked on. Anyone may add to it.

Accepted Canon

This tab contains a list of concepts, characters, locations, etc… that have either been written about in works within the canon, or which have been collectively agreed upon by the major contributors. This list is curated by GreenWolf and ARD, although any author may add to it upon publishing a new work.

Proposed For Canon

These are things that have been proposed as additions to the canon, but which haven't been solidly agreed upon yet. Most new additions to the canon are minor enough that they don't warrant addition to this list. When in doubt about whether something is major enough to be listed, use this rule of thumb: Would this addition affect the works of other authors that are still in development? Anyone can add to this list.

Never In Canon

A list of things that will never be part of the canon. Maintained by GreenWolf and ARD.

Timeline

A timeline of when major events in the canon happen. If an event is featured in a tale, please link to the tale when listing it. Anyone can add to this list, but it is curated by GreenWolf and ARD and TyGently will help too. They're nice like that.

Drafts

Additions should follow this basic format:

Misty Jones hires Chorozon Consulting for an esoteric missing person's case. Their search for Misty's lost friend encounters angels, the CotBG, the Foundation and the GOC. They discover her missing friend is SCP-1425, the GOC cover-up of the assassination of God, and that divinity is just a badly applied series of patches by generations of thaumaturgists who didn't RTFM. — sirpudding
A series about the underlings of Saturn Deer as he tries to expand his influence in Three Portlands without actually doing any work, leaving the job to his servants with mild thaumaturgical powers. — Elogee FishTruck
A tale about gang politics in Eurtec told from the point of view of Fuse del Sol y Guevara, a college grad-turned-sniper in a Gaelic gang called the Fianna. Potentially expanded into a series about the Fianna dependant on interest. Initially pre-Hypervelocity and meant to flesh out Eurtec a bit. — Pyrocracy

Locations

Three Portlands

A pocket universe with connections in Portland, Oregon; Portland, Maine; and the Isle of Portland in the United Kingdom. Home to the City of Three Portlands, a major enclave of the paranormal community. The city has a vibrant anart scene. Many paratech companies base at least some of their operations here. While technically governed by a Mayor, the position has been left unfilled for as long as anyone can remember, leaving the city council to manage the city. Under the Hoover Mandate, the FBI's Unusual Incidents Unit has jurisdiction within the city.

Paramax

United States Penitentiary, Paranormal ADX, colloquially called Paramax, is a federal supermax prison designed for housing anomalous criminals. Primarily a facility for containing anahuman felons, it also houses some mundane humans who committed crimes involving or using anomalies. Built in 1947 with assistance from the Foundation, Paramax is located in its own artificial pocket universe. Originally created with a permanent Way connecting it to Alcatraz Island, the Way was collapsed when the federal prison there was closed in 1963, leaving the pocket universe to "float" freely alongside the mainline.

Paramax is considered to be one of the most secure facilities in the universe — no prisoner has ever escaped, nor has anyone ever infiltrated the prison from outside. As one of the few facilities of its type, a number of nations have entered into agreements that allow them to house their anahuman prisoners within Paramax — the alternative is turning them over to the Foundation or GOC for detainment, or constructing an equivalent facility.

With the development of amnestics, the number of mundane humans housed in Paramax has dropped, as these criminals are now given amnestic treatments to erase their knowledge of the anomalous and given false memories using hypnosis.

Organizations

Chaos Insurgency

+ show block

The Chaos Insurgency in Third Law is composed of multiple loosely-structured cells and lacks any real cohesive directive. Each cell has its own goals, leaders and modus operandi – among their numbers is at least one Discordian sect. The members of Delta Command are the heads of the major factions within the Insurgency, while the Engine serves as an extremely advanced piece of anomalous precognitive technology. Said Engine teaches the Insurgency to construct Ramona Vonnegut (presumably among other things).

Department of Analytics

– hide block

<GreenWolf> uh, the really abridged version is basically: I want to start tying things into the analytics department
<ARD> analytics department? the one AE came up with?
<GreenWolf> as the sort-of but not-quite antagonists
<GreenWolf> I actually came up with that idea
<ARD> ah
<ARD> so how would they be antagonistic
<GreenWolf> AE then went off and used them in a thing before I could start doing stuff with them
<ARD> So what IS the department of analytics anyways?
<ARD> What is it they analyze?
<GreenWolf> okay, so, the analytics department are the people in the Foundation who know things
<GreenWolf> their job is to watch the world
<ARD> ok
<GreenWolf> notice patterns, analyze data, look for trends
<GreenWolf> think of an organization like the NSA or GCHQ
<ChaoSera> So they watch Twitter all the time
<ARD> alright
<GreenWolf> they use a lot of paratech for this — stuff like AIs and things to search for cognitohazards, stuff like that
<Conwell> Heh
<GreenWolf> they're the ones responsible for shutting down Bardeen
<GreenWolf> and then they take the bardeen architecture and use it for their own ends
<Conwell> So the Analytics department point and shoot the MTFs?
<GreenWolf> Conwell: basically
<ARD> if we're pulling department of analytics into this then i probably ought to explain what it is I plan to do with PL Defense at the end of T Plus
<GreenWolf> the way I envision it, they've been manipulating the paratech market for their own ends for a while
<GreenWolf> stuff like the buyout of prometheus computing being near the end of their most blatant and extreme manipulation
<GreenWolf> but other, subtler stuff
<GreenWolf> *but they do other
<ARD> such as
<Conwell> Hmmmm
<Conwell> Wonder how and if they have manipulated AR
<GreenWolf> say an anonymous investment here or there, or maybe stopping a publication from being published
<GreenWolf> maybe they tell the Foundation logistics people to buy more of a certain product from a certain supplier
<ARD> interesting
<ARD> do you think precognitive people/things would play a role in this department
<GreenWolf> almost certainly
<ARD> cool
<GreenWolf> but yeah, I'm thinking that they have a not-insignificant part in the breakup of PL — not necessarily causing it, but certainly accelerating it and arranging to be in the right place to pick up some of the pieces
<ARD> for what purpose
<GreenWolf> picking up a lot of useful paratech
<GreenWolf> and, ultimately, trying to enforce a status quo that's more amenable to the veil
<GreenWolf> it's easier to bully a smaller company than a larger one

The Department of Analytics is the arm of the Foundation tasked with monitoring global communications and data streams, and analyzing them for patterns and trends indicative of anomalies. They are somewhat analogous to the NSA or the GCHQ. In order to fulfill its objectives, the Department of Analytics widely employs paratech, anahumans, and Thaumiel class anomalies. In recent years, it has also been covertly manipulating the paratech market for its own ends. The Department is also responsible for internal and external information control — propaganda, misinformation, coverups, and counter-intelligence — about paratech, groups and persons of interest, and anomalous incidents.

Over the years, the Analytics Department's power and scope have increased, initially in support of their primary role as signals intelligence, but later in support of a new, secret, secondary role — staging a coup to seize control of the Foundation if the O5s go rouge. While still primarily the Foundation's signals intelligence department, the Analytics Department now largely operate independently of the greater Foundation hierarchy and structure.

Oneiroi Incorporated

Originally conceived in 1964 as a result of Prometheus Labs' expeditions into metafictional space, Oneiroi Inc has since operated as both a cutting edge parapsychological research organization and as a major source of income for the Prometheus Conglomerate. Clients partake in a wide variety of esoteric services, from tailored dream vacations and subconscious behavioral therapy to data storage and retrieval within metafictional facilities.

Oneiroi Incorporated has survived the collapse of the Prometheus Conglomerate, only becoming a more prominent force in the modern paratech market. Some clients of Oneiroi Inc claim to have experienced odd and specific side-effects in their dreams post-treatment, ranging from visions of another world to meetings with a strange figure who defies identification. Oneiroi Incorporated denies involvement in all such occurrences.

Objects

SCP-2630 (NOTUS)

A precognitive computer constructed by Prometheus Paraeconomics in 1968, the NOTUS (Necromantic Ontologically and Thaumically Unified Supercomputer) was built to predict the price of stock markets via experimental high-speed necromancy techniques. Modifications later made by Marshall, Carter and Dark also allowed it to affect the economy by making alterations to its state, effectively making the link between the computer and the stock market two-way. The NOTUS was then confiscated by MTF Tau-5 ("Samsara") after the Department of Analytics suspected anomalous economic interference on their part.

Concepts

Demonarcotics: Sapient beings such as humans, androids, and cyborgs can use demons as performance enhancements, recreational substances, and medications. The process of transforming these extradimensional creatures into drugs without killing oneself requires in-depth knowledge of chemistry, biology, and occultism (as well as no small amount of luck). At this time, only one person, the Rookie, is known to have mastered the art of demonarcotics.
Geas: A contractual form of memetic compulsion which effectively prevents you from doing certain things. Frequently leads to mental fuckery and seizures when two conflicting geas are placed on the one person.

World Trees and Multiverse Theory

+ show block

– hide block

<ARD> I kind of assumed that 3 portlands existed simultaneously across the world kind of like that one SCP about an island that exists in several places at the same time
<GreenWolf> No, it's parallel to our reality
<GreenWolf> or, adjacent at least
<ARD> Ah
<GreenWolf> I have a hyperdimensional model in my head that I'm trying to condense into words
<GreenWolf> but basically, it's not a separate, independent universe
<GreenWolf> but neither is it parts of ours
<ARD> Is it a branch of this reality kind of like a fork on github
<GreenWolf> It's like… the branches on a tree
<GreenWolf> the main universe is the trunk
<GreenWolf> and you have lots of pocket dimensions that branch off from it in different places
<GreenWolf> and sometimes those branches have their own branches
<ARD> But all those pocket dimensions are based on the main reality like using its laws of physics or summat
<GreenWolf> of course, the tree model breaks down a bit when you bring in the fact that a branch can connect to the trunk in multiple places, and links between separate branches can and do exist
<GreenWolf> ARD: yes
<ARD> Neat.
<GreenWolf> Actually, I like this tree model
<ARD> Aren't you the one who came up with it
<GreenWolf> I may flesh it out into a full-thing to explain my headcanon multiversal theory
<GreenWolf> Yes, but I mean, it's more apt than I initially thought
<GreenWolf> like, you can have other realities that are other trees
<GreenWolf> similar realities are trees of the same species
<GreenWolf> trees from other species are radically different
<GreenWolf> etc…
<ARD> Could universes get mashed together like how you can graft branches onto other trees
<GreenWolf> probably
<Baxter> There's a 94% chance.
<GreenWolf> Rip a bit of one universe out and stick it onto another
<ARD> Intriguing
<GreenWolf> Haha, I just realized
<GreenWolf> it's literally a world tree
<GreenWolf> Damn, the norse beat me to it by a few centuries
<ARD> I was thinking you would appease a lot of Norse buffs with this model
<ChaoSera> More like a few millenia

The omniverse is composed of a number of "world trees" — individual multiverses composed of a mainline universe and its branches. The mainline universe is the largest, and all of the branch universes depend on it for their existence. Branch universes connect to the mainline universe (or a lower-level branch universe) at one or more points, called Ways, and through these Ways they siphon off "realness" from the mainline, a phenomenon called ontic bleed. Ontic bleed manifests as a strongly negative flux of aspect radiation around Ways from the mainline (or a lower-level branch) to a higher-level branch, and as a strongly positive flux of aspect radiation around Ways from a higher-level branch to the mainline (or a lower-level branch). Traveling too high into the branch universes can eventually result in exiting reality — falling off of the world tree and into conceptual not-space.

Parallel universe are independent mainline universes of their own, with their own set of branch universes. These parallel universes vary greatly in the amount of similarity between them, and are generally much harder to travel between than a mainline universe and its branches.

Events

Seventh Occult War

+ show block

– hide block

<ARD> Oh? Real quick, can you refresh me on seventh occult war
<ARD> AFAIK the hub just says "However, the increased demand for paratech caused by the Second World War and the concurrent Seventh Occult War allowed Prometheus Labs to expand its operations."
<GreenWolf> right, so, not a ton's been written on it, so much of this is stuff out of my worldbuilding bible that didn't make it onto the hub (and there's enough of it that I really should collect it all somewhere)
<ARD> Ah, okay
<GreenWolf> but basically, the seventh occult war is already to stop the nazis and co
<ARD> Ah, okay
<GreenWolf> the thule and SS are trying to complete a big bad occult rite, and everone else is trying to stop them
<GreenWolf> some of this is off the GOC hub page too
<ARD> Actually, maybe some of the German occultists themselves can team up with the Allies to kill the Big Bad
<ARD> Kind of like the castle in Austria where Wehrmacht soldiers worked with the Allies to fend off an SS assault
<GreenWolf> entirely possible
<GreenWolf> the way I see it, much of the war plays out as indiana jones esque race for the relics, with a few small but pitched battles between the two sides occasionally
<ARD> OK. Let me put together a revision then
<GreenWolf> but yeah, shouldn't be hard to resolve the conflict, basically just make the first eigenweapon the rite the nazis are trying to complete
<ARD> I'm thinking… the SS and Thule succeed in completing the ritual and the final battle of the war is the Allies killing the result?
<ARD> The Occult War I mean
<GreenWolf> Could definitely work
<GreenWolf> although what about some ambiguity. Like, there's a final battle and all that, but nobody survives who can say for certain what ahppened.
<ARD> Hmmmmm
<GreenWolf> so nobody knows for sure if the nazis succeeded and the thing was killed permanently, or if they were stopped from finishing the rite
<ARD> I get the feeling though that if the BIG BAD won the world would be a whole different place
<ARD> Oh that's what you mean
<GreenWolf> so there's still the potential danger of the rite being performed again
<ARD> All right. Give me five minutes to incorporate this stuff
<GreenWolf> cool
<GreenWolf> but yeah, exact specifics are open to interpretation and clarification by individual authors, I just want to make sure we nail down the overall outline firmly

The Seventh Occult War was a global conflict that involved most major occult powers of the time, and occurred concurrent to the Second World War. The 7OW was directly caused by Nazi thaumaturges within the Ahnenerbe Obskurakorps and their allies in the Thule Society attempting to complete the Rite of Solomon, which would have been very very bad. They were opposed by the Allied Occult Initiative (an alliance of national paranormal agencies and private occult organizations affiliated with the Allies of World War 2, and the direct forerunner of the GOC), the Foundation, and numerous independent thaumaturges. Much of the 7OW involved indirect confrontations and a race to secure artifacts essential to completing Solomon's Rite. The war ended when an Allied strike force attacked the site of the ritual, resulting in the destruction of the site and a rout of the Obskurakorps. It is unknown if the Allied strike force managed to prevent the ritual before it was completed, if the rite was completed but failed, or if the rite was completed and the Allies managed to destroy whatever resulted from it; in the aftermath of the attack, the Allied Occult Initiative and the Foundation worked on erasing all details of the ritual from history and memory.

Other

Hoover Mandate

The name given to the policy created by President Herbert Hoover regarding how the United States government deals with pocket universes and the anomalous community at large. At times a point of contention between the US and international agencies such as the GOC and the Foundation, it has nevertheless been upheld by every President since.

The Hoover Mandate contains several provisions. The first and most important is the Veil Provision, which codifies the government-backed coverup of the paranormal and criminalizes exposure of the anomalous to the general public. The Veil Provision is shared by every developed nation on Earth, and is tacitly approved by the United Nations.

The Hoover Mandate also recognizes the autonomy of pocket universes which form anomalous enclaves, granting them the right of self-governance, while maintaining the ability to enforce US laws upon US citizens within them. In addition to recognizing their autonomy, the United States also guarantees their independence from outside powers, in effect shielding these places from agencies such as the Foundation.

The final provision of the Hoover Mandate addresses the treatment of anomalous criminals. In accordance with the Veil Provision, anomalous criminals are tried and sentenced in secret, and imprisoned in a special maximum-security prison located in its own pocket universe.

Protocol Custodes

Protocol Custodes is a Department of Analytics contingency plan put in place by O5-3, to be activated in the event that one or more O5s go rouge. Protocol Custodes tasks the Department of Analytics with staging a coup to seize control of the Foundation, removing the rouge O5s and replacing them with individuals loyal to the Foundation and its goals, and quashing any insurgent factions within the Foundation. As part of Protocol Custodes, the Analytics Department gains sweeping authority to root out and crush rebellion within the Foundation.

Protocol Custodes was approved by the entire O5 Council, but all of them except O5-3 voluntarily amnesticized themselves of knowledge of it. O5-3 was tasked with overseeing the implementation of Protocol Custodes, and the position of O5-3 comes with knowledge of the protocol. Other, similar contingencies are presumed to also be in place for other departments, overseen by other O5s.

Assorted Brainstorming on the Future

[Background chatter, reactions such as "lol" and "lmao", and other conversation not relevant to poltting and worldbuilding have been removed to increase ease of reading.]

<ARD> Anyways guys have I told you about the setting for one of my Guns Pointed tales
<ARD> "It was always raining in Neo Tokyo. Rumor had it that this was because the anti-aircraft batteries around the city fired cloud-seeding material powered by a long-forgotten weather god."
<ARD> NEO TOKYO
<GreenWolf> Isn't that just current tokyo
<GreenWolf> also, tokyo already /has/ a pocket universe
<ARD> what is tokyo's pocket universe
<GreenWolf> it's the one that shows up in alphabet
<GreenWolf> it would have featured prominently in the Organs tale, but TG refuses to publish that one
<GreenWolf> that's why we have to loot his sandbox and use all his cool ideas in our own things
<GreenWolf> My question is why it can't be set in eurtec
<ARD> I mean it COULD be set in Eurtec but I wanna write about the GOC's Director of Analytics counterpart preferring to nurse drinks in a bar in Neo-Tokyo
<TyGently> why can't it be set in actual tokyo
<ARD> Because Neo-Tokyo is cooler than Tokyo
<TyGently> I kind of don't want to be known as that one canon that sets everything in pocket universes
<TyGently> at some point we must build our world and lay in it
<GreenWolf> I'm also worried about location inflation
<ARD> TyGently: can we just change tokyo to neo tokyo
<TyGently> ARD: as in, in the third law universe, tokyo is gone, and replaced by neo-tokyo
<ARD> something I want to do with Guns Pointed is really shake up the Third Law Veil
<TyGently> I have no issues with this
<ARD> I don't want to just return to Status: Q at the end
<ARD> Stuff like turning PL into Mecha Imbrium and replacing Tokyo with Neo Tokyo helps
<TyGently> I haven't really talked about this before but that is one of my biggest thoughts about missed opportunities in what we have so far
<GreenWolf> I'm not cool with totally abolishing the veil until at least after dividends
<TyGently> we've created a world where every industry uses paratech to achieve what most would think impossible
<TyGently> but it looks exactly like the world we have now, to the average person
<GreenWolf> maybe during dividends
<TyGently> it seems like a more natural/fertile ground
<TyGently> would be to create a super advanced tech-future
<TyGently> but nobody knows that all the tech is barely tech at all
<GreenWolf> TyGently: I'm on board with that
<ARD> I feel like that's something we really ought to work on with tales set in Third Law's future
<ARD> and in the future
<GreenWolf> it's not too late to do a bit of alt-history too
<TyGently> Comedown Machine is setting up a bit of an arc to deal with some of the issues with the current world
<ARD> 2664 took baby steps in the direction of alt history
<TyGently> like, anomalous humans can go their whole lives without ever being recognized by the "world at large"
<TyGently> people like Adam Rowe have lived outside the real world their whole lives
<GreenWolf> like, there are hints and stuff that the average tech level is a bit higher, but we never really see it
<TyGently> that's got to feel immensely shitty sometimes
<ARD> but instead of focusing on alt history, let's focus on uncharted future as well
<GreenWolf> okay, so what if we have a gradual but accelerating weakening of the veil with guns pointed and slow animals and such
<GreenWolf> and then in dividends, we blow it wide open
<ARD> Something I wanted to do with DEUS VULTURE is
<ARD> You guys recall the very, very first PL GOI Format
<ARD> about the terraforming slugs
<GreenWolf> and everything set after dividends is in a broken masquerade setting
<ARD> GreenWolf: I can work with that though I'd like GP and SA to start making slits in the veil
<ARD> before DIVIDENDS just tears it down
<GreenWolf> that's the idea
<GreenWolf> UIU tale series can probably further that a bit too
<TyGently> idk if I'd want to go full broken masquerade later, but a very strained masquerade would be interesting to experiment in
<TyGently> like, shit's being affected, but theoretically consensus normalcy is upheld
<TyGently> japan's gone and replaced with a future city now, THIS IS ALL VERY NORMAL
<TyGently> THIS IS JUST THE WAY THINGS ARE NOW
<TyGently> I don't know what exactly you have planned for dividends but it sounds like the foundation's gonna be melting down like crazy
<GreenWolf> okay, this might be a good time to start talking about dividends
<TyGently> they can finally take their place as the ministry of truth they were always meant to be
<GreenWolf> because I have a basic roadmap, but most of the landmarks haven't been filled out yet
<ARD> There's a section in Deus Vulture where Pietrykau discusses the clash between the ORIA and Horizon Initiative's eigenweapons in India and mentions "But the aftermath… Amnestics, PARAKEETS, digital antimeme triggers… we blew through a half-century's stockpile of the best mind-wiping tools known to man to clean that mess up."
<GreenWolf> at what point do the normalcy protection agencies realize that they're fighting a losing battle
<ARD> I want that to foreshadow the ending of GP - a big clash of the titans with major repercussions for the world afterwards
<GreenWolf> and those repercussions can lead directly into dividends
<TyGently> I mean, Comedown Machine is basically a clandestine clash of secret organizations resulting in a shitton of crossfire in the paranormal community

[Room switch]

<TyGently> Comedown Machine will be 9 tales long
<TyGently> so, Comedown Machine is split into two acts
<TyGently> the premise is that the Foundation is unsatisfied with the level of control currently held over the anomalous community, especially in havens like three portlands
<TyGently> they find the UIU isn't being effective
<TyGently> and several other organizations feel the same way
<TyGently> independently, several of these organizations hatch plans to undermine the hoover mandate to secure the paranormal community under greater control
<TyGently> the Foundation's plan, Operation Dawnhalter, is to commit a series of false-flag operations in Three Portlands in order to convince the mayor, actually a representation of the sapient mind of three portlands itself, to submit to Foundation control
<TyGently> the protagonist, Casey, is one of the targets, and the Foundation uses ~~memes~~ to mind control him into murdering his boss, a prominent three portlands resident
<TyGently> Casey is assisted by Adam and Eugene, as well as Vera Rosas, a mid-level member of Directorate K, which has a newly-discovered interest in preserving 3P's culture
<TyGently> in their pursuit to uncover the scheme and clear Casey's name they also stumble upon other schemes occurring simultaneously to undermine Three Portlands existence itself
<TyGently> including manipulation by the Overseer, the entity behind SCP-2884, which was also complicit in that scheme back in Under Control
<GreenWolf> SCP-2884
<Gordon> GreenWolf: http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2884 - One Nation Under CCTV
<TyGently> because the overseer is strengthened by the pursuit of worldwide totalitarianism
<TyGently> anyways, Act 1 will end with our intrepid protagonists bringing the Mayor around to the realization that it's being played
<TyGently> and then, forced into a corner, somebody responds by taking the plan B of just murdering the mayor altogether, and three portlands starts to fall apart existentially
<TyGently> and Act 2 will follow our protagonists desperately trying to ensure that everything doesn't fall entirely into shit
<GreenWolf> point of order, how do you murder something which is at best a construct of a metaphysical entity
<TyGently> specifics, specifics
<GreenWolf> also, what's the timeline on this, b/c we really need to avoid stepping on the toes of the AR stuff in 3port if at all possible
<TyGently> something something, seance dust, something something, that gun that kills things on TV
<TyGently> mmmmm, yeah
<GreenWolf> Conwell has a timeline here: http://www.scp-wiki.net/researcher-conwell-s-personnel-file
<TyGently> this would presumably happen over the span of a few weeks/months
<GreenWolf> Like, if it comes down to it, we can sacrifice continuity with anderson, but I'd like to avoid it if possible
<TyGently> but in order to avoid that can of worms I'd have to set Comedown Machine after 2021 altogether
<TyGently> which would then screw with conwell's future plans if he wants to remain in continuity with third law
<GreenWolf> does 3port remain in-tact at the end of all this
<GreenWolf> cause you could do it in 2019/2020/2021
<TyGently> probably mostly
<TyGently> my thought was that the protagonists could create a replacement mayor
<TyGently> perhaps out of an oversoul
<TyGently> I'm also considering that Eugene might die at some point
<TyGently> and then you'd have a necromancer ghost.
<TyGently> a powerful necromancer ghost.
<GreenWolf> an ectonecromancer, so to speak
<TyGently> actually, I just remembered that conflicts with something else I have planned for Eugene
<GreenWolf> oh, also, I just realized
<TyGently> namely, that he's so interested in expanding his lifespan because he's sold his soul to seven different devils
<GreenWolf> we can move the date of dividends back if necessary
<GreenWolf> since it's no longer fixed by 2897
<GreenWolf> (although 2897 could always have been edited anyways)
<TyGently> GreenWolf: I was so confused because I thought you meant the year 2897
<GreenWolf> (on that note, I will add that I am open to most retroactive edits to resolve potential continuity conflicts)
<TyGently> but, I could move CM around
<TyGently> but if I do, it will require retroactive edits
<TyGently> because Under Control definitely takes place in late 2016
— TyGently regrets setting everything in the time they're writing it
<TyGently> granted, it's not a big deal
<TyGently> Under Control is hardly a big sticking point
<TyGently> although
<TyGently> there's a good chance I will choose to feature Under Control if I win the history contest and… yeah it looks like I'm going to win the history contest
<GreenWolf> oh, this might be a good time to outline my plans for my UIU Series with no name (not to be confused with the UIU series with no name)
<GreenWolf> which is that I have no real long term plans for them beyond a farewell to kings and the body electric
<TyGently> two more things to wrap up my summary?
<GreenWolf> go ahead
<TyGently> two things are still undecided: 1) exactly what other organizations are up to besides the Foundation, the Overseer, and Dir-K
<TyGently> 2) what exactly "portlands falling apart" is going to mean
<ARD> the city is flattening into conceptual unspace
<TyGently> I mean, in the sense of things that would affect the plot
<GreenWolf> it falls apart into the individual portland pocket universes
<GreenWolf> or what ard said
<TyGently> it could have effects on the /real/ portlands, or it could block the exits, turning portlands into PORTLAND THUNDERDOME, or it could just prompt a mass exodus
<TyGently> or some mixture of the three
<ARD> without the mayor's ontological complex to anchor it into one universe 3Ports is collapsing under the combined metaconceptual weight of the rest of the universes
<TyGently> PORTLAND THUNDERDOME is my favorite idea
<ARD> And while it's collapsing all the exits are flattened
<ARD> So people are struggling to survive inside a pocket Rapture
<TyGently> it'd just be a massive genre shift at the halfway point from conspiracy, framed-for-murder, pulp plots to sudden post-apocalypse pocket universe aping
<GreenWolf> if you go with the "adrift in conceptual unspace" approach, I can see UIU getting involved
<GreenWolf> well, I imagine they'd get involved /anyways/ if it's the apocalypse
<GreenWolf> but, like, UIU has experience with opening Ways between stranded pocket dimensions
<GreenWolf> so if you want to bring people in from the outside or vice versa, that's a way to do it
<TyGently> GreenWolf: that'd be a good idea
<TyGently> refugee efforts causing increased chaos inside and out
<TyGently> wow this was supposed to be a small aside, sorry for hijacking your pitch start gw
<GreenWolf> no, no, it's fine
<ARD> nah it's good to know all this
<TyGently> I'm not posting the hub until I have the prologue to post with it, and most of the first tale done
<GreenWolf> okay, anyways, so, I'll go over my minimal plans for this period of time, then ARD can tell us about his plans for guns, and then we can go over dividends
<GreenWolf> so, there's A Farewell to Kings, which as you know, is the sequel to Permanent Waves. Green, Spencer, and Thorne apprehend the Radical Anart Terrorist in Backdoor Soho. I doubt this is gonna have much impact on other stuff, beyond introducing Paramax and Backdoor Soho
<GreenWolf> oh, and I guess the RAT can become a recurring character if we ever go through with suicide squad/paramax prison break
<ARD> I thought RAT's name was Sierra Dustin
<GreenWolf> oh, the other major UIU thing I have planned at this point in time is the Body Electric, which is gonna involve the UIU investigating the attempted assassination of the Saker congressperson from Asutringers
<GreenWolf> ARD: it is
<GreenWolf> but I keep referring to them as radical anart terrorist in my notes
<GreenWolf> uh, that one will have a bit more impact, because UIU will find out about the Foundation clandestinely operating in 3 port (namely, the sting operation to capture anderson), so that strains relations between them and the Foundation
<GreenWolf> and maybe it can be an impetus for Comedown Machine, where the Foundation sees that the UIU doesn't have the ability to strongly enforce the hoover mandate
<GreenWolf> ball's in your court there, ty
<TyGently> comedown machine will probably feature little in the way of stuff directly from Foundation POV
<GreenWolf> oh, uh, Signals is also gonna take place in 2017, but that's literally just gonna be pseudo-philosophical dialogue
<TyGently> so it will probably not be /explicit/
<GreenWolf> only relevant thing there is that Myra and Alexis are both in Eurtec in early 2017 (exact date to be defined later) so if you want to use them plan accordingly
<GreenWolf> a lot of my current plans take place in the past
<TyGently> (I was considering using Alexis as a fourth protagonist but that place has since been filled by my Dir-K agent)
<TyGently> (so I doubt I'll need her)
<GreenWolf> so I doubt necromancer, st. hubert's key, MCD unicorn horn, etc… will affect the stuff you guys are working on
<GreenWolf> I forgot about Digital Men
<GreenWolf> mostly because I have no plans for it
<TyGently> speaking of things set in the past, may I interject with my past worldbuilding plans
<GreenWolf> except that it will be about analytics
<GreenWolf> uh, I'll probably write that after comedown machine
<GreenWolf> maybe it can be a foundation pov thing, idk
<GreenWolf> largely depends on guns pointed and comedown machine
<GreenWolf> go ahead ty
<TyGently> this is basically just a recap for ARD, who I don't think I've discussed this with
<GreenWolf> oh, right, nobody
<TyGently> but: ideas for Oneiroi and Nobody in third law
<TyGently> http://pastebin.com/R03iYsn3 relevant pastebin
<GreenWolf> on the note of past things, there's also the 001 I am going to do
<TyGently> I also have Clockwork Angels set immediately after T-Plus, but unless anyone /wants/ to write about Lampism that probably doesn't affect anyone's plans
<TyGently> Sarah Richards is canonically a force ghost by like, 2015
<GreenWolf> at the end of the 6th occult war, buncha german thaumaturges kill "God", which is what allows the nazis to perform the rite of solomon in the 7th occult war. SCP-001 (or, one of them) is the Foundation resurrecting this god to restore the protections it formerly provided. This goes horribly right.
<GreenWolf> might come up in dividends, will largely only be relevant in tying 7th and 6th occult war stuff to cold war stuff
<ARD> so I guess this is where I come in and talk about guns pointed
<ARD> from the top in chronological order
<ARD> Season 1 - GRU P creates Redline (SCP-2664), Prometheus creates the Shiva ( T Minus) for the Pentagram (the anomalous branch of the DoD) and in the process of trying to steal it the Big Three (SCPF, GOC, CI) inadvertently destabilize the portal to hell, which the Shiva closes by converting everything within a few kilometers of it (including everything in PL
<ARD> Defense) into petabytes of information and then downloading all that information - the people, the hellgate, the products - before flying off to find someplace to upload all that data and recreate PL Defense. This is the [DATA EXPUNGED] of 1998, and its event catalyzes the formation of eigenweapons across the rest of the anomalous world, which leads into
<ARD> Deus Vulture. Meanwhile, somewhere in the Himalayas, a sect of the Chaos Insurgency generates Ramona Vonnegut, their so-called god and the hybrid offspring of a metafictional generator and entity that can manipulate the source code of the space-time calliope

[Conwell joins]

<ARD> Season 2 - Pietrykau brings in Sarah Hughes to lead a new Mobile Task Force: Alpha-3 ("Deus Vulture") and in the process explains the secret history of eigenweapons (including how he defected from GRU-P during SCP-2664). Meanwhile, the GOC is struggling to handle parathreats across the world including other countries restarting their eigenweapon programs,
<ARD> incursions of more than a few world-destroyers such as 2664, the Wild Hunt, possibly Yaldabaoth, and as they struggle to handle the politics of the real world, eventually give up and sic GAIUS PRIME (a necromantic complex composed of a few billion dead people which acts as a beacon for the nonthinking Lords of Hell to rise up and consume) on said
<ARD> parathreats. There's a break where we follow Tau-5, which has been put on the backburner after they started autogenerating their own transhuman implants following their apotheosis.
<ARD> Season 3 - Ramona Vonnegut experiences a crisis of faith, which she copes with by using her powers to perform increasingly more outlandish self-body-modding as her sect of the Chaos Insurgency gains power, fame, and prestige across Asia. The Foundation and GOC soon take notice, but have been infiltrated by members of the CI. They soon learn about MY 001
<ARD> proposal
<ARD> ARD's Proposal: The Trimurti is a machine that uses three reality benders to create new universes with different laws of nature and exchange junk material from this universe (trash, asteroids in space, etc) with the material in that universe for a virtually unlimited supply of resources while also killing extradimensional beings that enter 3L's universe
<ARD> through the tear into the new universes
<ARD> it's how the Foundation has a seemingly unlimited resource pool with outlandish materials
<ARD> Anyways, the CI finds out about this machine and sets out to have Ramona Vonnegut take control of the device, which she can use to achieve complete omniscience and control over every single universe at once
<ARD> the Foundation must use Tau-5 to defend the machine, and probably the GOC gets in on the action somehow
<ARD> and this leads to the big finale
<ARD> where Vonnegut does in fact take over the machine and then
<ARD> that part is a secret
<ARD> The branch of the CI that created Vonnegut takes a lot of cues from New Age
<ARD> They believe that they're doing the right thing - they use Vonnegut to help people, cure disease, fix problems, stop armies around Asia
<ARD> They think of themselves as a rebellion fighting The Man
<ARD> where The Man is the Foundation that has all these amazing tools and resources but isn't using them to help people
<GreenWolf> there's a recurring theme here that the Foundation are the bad guys, which I'm entirely okay with
<ARD> and just keep society on the Status: Q
<GreenWolf> like, even in permanent waves, the Foundation are only the good guys because the person they're after has radicalized to the extent that they're willing to kill civillian
<ARD> Anyway, the thing I'm most proud of is The Pentagram
<ARD> which is the US' anomalous DoD
<ARD> It's totally something the US would do
<GreenWolf> anyways, Conwell, what are your thoughts, now that you're caught up and before we launch into our discussion of dividends
<Conwell> Sounds like you guys have some pretty neat arcs.
<ARD> I have the neatest one
<TyGently> ARD: yours doesn't involve a portland thunderdome though
<GreenWolf> just wondering if you have anything planned that we should be looking out for if we want to maintain continuity
<ARD> TyGently: mine involves the GOC killing sarkicism forever
<ARD> their eigenweapon is literally Euclid's C-Finder from Fallout 3
<ARD> except the Orbital Death Cannon is actually just Satan
<Conwell> Here is what I have to say on my end and for AR biz: If you need to dump continuity with AR to make ends meet do so. Since 3rd Law already pretends AIAD doesn't really exist, and AR has a few ties with AIAD its not that big a deal.
<Conwell> Additionally, I always headcanoned AR's businesses as existing both in and out of 3ports so if something massively bad happened there, Vincent would just go "lol, sorry folks, we're just going to ride this out in the real world for a bit" and move things to baseline.

[ARD leaves]

<GreenWolf> also, Conwell, with the AIAD stuff, most of it has never been essential to the main anderson storyline, so it's much easier to pretend it doesn't exist while maintaining continuity
<GreenWolf> but yeah, if we absolutely have to, we can sacrifice continued continuity with out-of-canon stuff
<GreenWolf> which I imagine will likely happen after dividends regardless, but dividends is set far enough in the future that it won't become a major issue for at least another 5 years
<TyGently> so, first concern is tone
<GreenWolf> by which point I doubt we'll still be doing this
<Conwell> I don't currently have anything planned in terms of future AR arcs aside from stand alone tales here and there (focusing on GCL stuff and med school interviews) so your plans won't interfere with anything I've got lined up.
<GreenWolf> (but you never know)
<TyGently> it kind of sounds like we're diving into the deep end here
<GreenWolf> TyGently: in some respects, yeah
<TyGently> less golden-age sci-fi, more horrific police states
<GreenWolf> it's the cyberpunk transition
<TyGently> so, we should work out a speculative future timeline
<GreenWolf> I also wonder if we've ever been golden age sci-fi
<GreenWolf> more urban fantasy and cyberpunk with a veneer of science spackled on
<GreenWolf> also, yes, timeline is a good idea
<GreenWolf> we can work from the one on the brainstorming hub
<TyGently> If I have to move Under Control's timeframe I'd like to move it before it becomes featured
<TyGently> Honestly, my main worry is that Third Law becomes less of a canon and more of an elaborate storyline that half a dozen people are writing together
<TyGently> maybe "worry" isn't the right word there
<TyGently> because that's not necessarily a terrible thing
<GreenWolf> I mean, that's what a lot of the canons /are/ to some extent
<GreenWolf> plus there's still a ton of room to work in
<TyGently> Like, i guess it's what I said about making the world and laying in it
<GreenWolf> how many of us were planning to write stuff in the late 2020s/2030s anyways
<TyGently> there's a reason I'm focusing on three portlands
<TyGently> I don't remember if I had plans for future stories
<GreenWolf> yeah, I get what you mean. At some point we're going to have to shift from having tales that primarily introduce new concepts, and focus on stories using those concepts
<GreenWolf> we can't introduce a new pocket dimension in every tale, etc…
<GreenWolf> but yeah, part of the idea behind dividends was seeing everybody working on their own elaborate but isolated stuff, and going "we should tie everything together"
<GreenWolf> we should also be more willing to use each other's characters
<GreenWolf> where it would make sense, at least
<GreenWolf> like, I want to have AE's UIU people show up in my UIU stuff
<GreenWolf> which is an opportunity I missed in Permanent Waves
<TyGently> back when slow animals was a much more self-contained thing my plan was to establish Adam and casey as people in three portlands who are prominent and can be involved when people want to sit things in three portlands
<TyGently> *set things
<GreenWolf> I think one of the issues with character reuse (or lack thereof) is that we don't have a ton of /prominent/ characters established
<GreenWolf> like, Pietrykau is someone who is prominent, and it makes sense for him to appear in multiple things
<GreenWolf> but we don't have a ton of people like him
<GreenWolf> yet, at least
<GreenWolf> we're about to get an influx of them
<TyGently> Most of our characters are low-level in organizations
<TyGently> the two most powerful characters I have introduced are dead and a recluse respectively
<GreenWolf> we can't all be navarro
<GreenWolf> popping up unexpectedly with a shotgun
<GreenWolf> "Hello, I am in this tale series now, deal with it"

[AidenEldritch joins]

<Conwell> But yeah, Ty's right, most of our characters are not exactly prominent.
<GreenWolf> after we're done with all of our elaborate storylines set in the present/near future, we really do need to go back and give the past some more love
<GreenWolf> the ratio of tales in the 1998 onwards period to other time periods is alarming high
<GreenWolf> but anyways, AE, go on
<AidenEldritch> tl;dr black queens IS/WILL feature Landen and Ari trying to take down the Black Queen and instead getting lead on a goose chase through the universes by dint of the Wlib. The Black Queen uses every opportunity available to abuse her precognitive abilities, while Landen uses Oneiroishit and Ari uses papercraft to assist their journey.
<AidenEldritch> they later end up going through the randallverses
<GreenWolf> oh hey, that would explain why they're absent from permanent waves
<GreenWolf> I suddenly feel less bad about not including them
<AidenEldritch> backstory is explained regarding alliott's dad being part of a foundation expedition to track down the randall people in an effort to gather valuable-ass intelligence, not realising that they'd fall off the multiverse tree in the process.
<AidenEldritch> anyway alliott's dad is later revealed to have joined the oneiroi and become a Nobody, tying into Ty's oneiroistuff and informed landen and co. about where she's going. emotional catharsis ensues and Alliott jumps through an unstable Way, while Landen and Ari are recalled presumably due to UIUshit (see also Comedown Machine)
<AidenEldritch> Alliott then finds herself in the magical land of metafiction, which is where To Be Noir comes in.
<GreenWolf> AE, if ty doesn't write about our UIU peeps doing stuff in Comedown Machine, we totally should
<AidenEldritch> anyway you wanna hear about the lamneth stuff too right
<AidenEldritch> well that features To Be Noir, except as more of a motivating role: Kanako and her CI peeps stumble across a memetic weapon that works through serendipity and inspiration – they can basically use it to off any metafictional character by killing their authors before they even get the chance to write about them
<AidenEldritch> as such they decide to play eigenweapon trading with the fictional noir-ers.

[AidenEldritch leaves for a bit, discussion about titles]

<GreenWolf> I'm toying with the idea of a cogwork orthodoxy tale called caress of steel, but I'm worried that sounds too much like erotica
<GreenWolf> and I'm not quite ready to write clockwork cyborg erotica yet
<TyGently> (you should just take clockwork angels tbh)
<GreenWolf> oh yeah, I keep forgetting clockwork angels exists
<GreenWolf> the album, that is

[AidenEldritch returns]

<AidenEldritch> anyway yes the CI get involved in eigenweapons trading with the noir-ers, and try to exploit the metafictional nature of the noir-ers in order to create a weapon that by definition cannot exist anywhere else. they instead end up breaking an unwritten contract with oneiroi inc and while fleeing from dream loan sharks they come /this/ close to unleashing 2747
<AidenEldritch> in order to fix the boo-boo, they introduce a patch for metafictional reality that ends up becoming ramona
<AidenEldritch> the patron saint of retcons
<AidenEldritch> and that's really about it for that particular arc
<AidenEldritch> i guess they could have cameos later down the line as oneiroi execs but idk
<TyGently> christ, I need to write oneiroi inc, don't I
<TyGently> I've noticed recently that it's difficult for me to write tales that are not incredibly long anymore
<TyGently> like, I'm struggling to think of any way to write oneiroi inc that won't be a super huge project
<TyGently> because it'll have to introduce all new characters, the setting, the initial venture, the venture going wrong, and the venture being resolved-ish
<GreenWolf> TyGently: I am willing to help if you need it
<GreenWolf> I want to work on fleshing out the other time periods some too
<GreenWolf> since… we have one tale in startup, six things in bubble, and three things in burst
<AidenEldritch> I also had a historical tale featuring Langford and Berryman investigating geas for Englishbugger!Foundation
<AidenEldritch> or possibly on contract from Blackwood
<GreenWolf> compared to the 19 things in repercussions
<GreenWolf> soon to be god knows how many things in repercussions
<AidenEldritch> depending on whether or not the good old british slug is canon in :3law
<GreenWolf> blackwood is always canon
<TyGently> repercussions is just much easier to write for since it's the standard timeframe
<TyGently> wheras everything in the past is a "special timeframe"
<GreenWolf> blackwood is actually canon with the GOC canon, and GOC is in continuity with us
<GreenWolf> (mostly)
<TyGently> when you want to write something in which the timeline isn't important to the thing, you just set it in the present day
<GreenWolf> we should make an effort to set more things in the past where possible then
<GreenWolf> like, necromancer is gonna be in the 80s
<TyGently> oneiroi will be in the fifties
<GreenWolf> the only tale I've actually got set in the "present" is Permanent Waves, and that has to take place in 2017 b/c of timing with regards to body electric
<GreenWolf> analog kid takes place in 2014
<GreenWolf> which was in the past when it was written
<GreenWolf> and that's another time that is constrained by anderson related times
<GreenWolf> I really want to do some proper golden age sci-fi set in the 50s, actually
<TyGently> GreenWolf: you know what we need
<Conwell> Just to reiterate, I currently have no upcoming tales/arcs planned, so if I do come up with anything, I can be flexible for your stuff.
<TyGently> FLIGHT
<TyGently> OF
<TyGently> THE
<TyGently> DAEDALUS
<GreenWolf> even if I wanted to, I could never use my old daedalus tale in third law, because most of the world has shifted
<TyGently> revamp it entirely
<GreenWolf> I was working with a completely different idea of PL, etc…
<GreenWolf> actually…
<GreenWolf> what if
<TyGently> set it in the 50's as a glorious star trek art deco science fantasy
<Conwell> AidenEldritch: Nope. I mean, there is one idea for a massive breach at 64 featuring the ConwellCast all doing different things (Conwell and his lab tech's melting an intruder with science goo, Gabe and accountants using a shotgun, etc) in defense, but eh, thats in the most vaporous waves of drafting atm
<TyGently> have the crew be psychic projecting khevtuul-style
<GreenWolf> so, in the 3law universe, the hulk of the daedalus is still in orbit around herculina, maybe retrofitted as a GOC/Foundation listening post to observe Mecha Imbrium
<GreenWolf> but what if
<GreenWolf> in another universe
<GreenWolf> PL built the daedalus
<GreenWolf> and it ends up here
<GreenWolf> through timey-wimey space magic
<AidenEldritch> also did I mention that the finale of Kan&co features a shot at Resurrection as having been swallowed by the big ol' 2747
<AidenEldritch> I have a draft of a hyperion particle accelerator that accidentally time
<GreenWolf> mmm, i think I'll wrap up my work in the MCD unicorn goi format and then write out farewell to kings
<GreenWolf> can probably get those both done over the weekend
<TyGently> I'll finish my taco bell tale soon
<TyGently> and then start work on slow animals for realsies
<TyGently> and try to keep it… under 5k words… or so
<AidenEldritch> is it wrong that I headcanon that the 3port UIU has six different identical bosses
<AidenEldritch> like, they have six women as the head of their branch, all of whom are named Grace Renfield and act in exactly the same way
<AidenEldritch> why did we both start our sentences with "like, "
<GreenWolf> we are both grace renfield
<GreenWolf> obviously
<GreenWolf> anyways, as amusing as that is, I feel like the UIU field offices are all understaffed and overworked
<GreenWolf> so 6 people would be, like, half to a quarter of their work force
<AidenEldritch> I can agree with that
<GreenWolf> plus, three ports is not a city of a million people
<AidenEldritch> either she's six people or she just melts and reforms wherever needed
<Gonewell> GreenWolf: Heh. Anderson offers to sell the UIU androids to help with the staff shortage.
<GreenWolf> AidenEldritch: what if it's six people, each of whom is the head of a separate field office
<GreenWolf> Gonewell: I feel like, given UIU's past history with Anderson, they'd probably decline that request
<Gonewell> GreenWolf: Heh. Probably.

Important points:

Weakening of the veil in Guns Pointed, Comedown Machine, and Dividends
Comedown Machine
- Multiple overlapping conspiracies to undermine the Hoover Mandate and seize control of Three Portlands
- Results in the Mayor of Three Portlands being killed, pocket dimension beginning to unravel
- Is eventually fixed by a group of intrepid protagonists
Guns Pointed
- Eigenweapon crisis
- CI seizes control over an SCP-001 (Trimurti)

•ARD> Kowloon Walled Cortex is another cool idea I’ve been kicking around for a paracity
3:10 PM <•ARD> The idea is that it’s like, an Oneiroi psychic city built in the mind of a slumbering kaiju
3:11 PM <anorrack> so instead of an actual pocket universe, it's just a mindscape created by a sleeping eldritch abomination, a la Azathoth
3:12 PM <•ARD> Essentially
3:12 PM <•ARD> I had some idea of like, the kaiju being awake and wandering around but there’s cooler story ideas to be mined from the inhabitants just assuming it’ll be asleep
•TyGently> ARD: is kowloon walled cortex a dream city? I was under the impression that it was a city physically built inside a life kaiju's braincase
10:15 PM <•TyGently> as someone not at all responsible for the creation and development of KWC, I demand there be zero non-euclidean bullshit involved
•TyGently> KWC can have some weird dreamspace stuff but the actual geography of the city needs to have mundane dimensions or it will completely nullify the horror of the premise, which is a necessary component for the setting to work

•ARD> The KWC is probably in the South China Sea
•ARD> I just envision it being a huge fucking Godzilla
4:03 PM <•ARD> anorrack: honestly I always envisioned the kaiju just completely not noticing its inhabitants
4:03 PM <•ARD> It’s commensalism rather than mutualism

•TyGently> 1) we are such motes of dust to this kaiju that we literally could not do anything harmful to it, even living inside its goddamn brain, so it pays us no notice
4:04 PM <•TyGently> 2) we are the kaiju's gut bacteria
4:04 PM <anorrack> lmao KWCNBC BREAKING NEWS: IMMUNE SYSTEM AFTER 50 YEARS HAS FINALLY NOTICED KWC RESIDENTS, ATTACKS HAVE BEEN REPORTED ACROSS THE CITY
4:04 PM <•ARD> Except in its brain? Lmfao
4:04 PM <•TyGently> yes
4:04 PM <•ARD> Actually that’s not a terrible idea
4:04 PM <•TyGently> an organism that is entirely separate and lives inside, performing beneficial actions
4:05 PM <•TyGently> warding off more harmful parasites perhaps, or aiding in some other unintentional way
4:05 PM <•TyGently> perhaps no-one knows exactly why, and it's impossible to ask
4:05 PM <anorrack> maybe we unintentionally are keeping the kaiju alive
4:06 PM <anorrack> in some strange way, when it was first discovered, it was basically a husk of its former self, but now, it has steadily gained mass since 20██
4:06 PM <•TyGently> I'm more of a fan of it being almost entirely independent of us though
4:07 PM <•ARD> Maybe the kaiju is like a giant fucking sarlacc or tube worm
4:08 PM <•TyGently> oneiroi is also its own eldritch horror, while also being the furthest possible thing from an eldritch horror
4:08 PM <•ARD> That draws sustainment directly from the mantle
4:08 PM <•ARD> Its own personal giant ocean vent

•ARD> It’s a whole sleeping kaiju, that’s critically important to the city’s identity both in and out of universe
4:11 PM <•TyGently> what if it's just.
4:11 PM <•TyGently> not even analogous to an earth organism
4:11 PM <•TyGently> asymmetrical, no apparent rhyme or reason to its immense body plan, no apparent means of survival
4:11 PM <•TyGently> and yet it persists
4:11 PM <•TyGently> it's got tentacles, a thousand twisted legs, four and a half mouths

•ARD> the Kowloon Kaiju is an arsenic-based organism
4:15 PM <•ARD> The KWC's biggest problem is like, heavy metal poisoning
4:16 PM <•ARD> hell, maybe that's the bedrock of industry
4:16 PM <anorrack> mining its intestine is prison labor lmao
4:16 PM <•ARD> mining the kaiju's dreams for oneiric and psychic supplies, mining its brain for heavy metals
4:16 PM <anorrack> It's lower half is world renowned for its top quality thaumturgically conductive alloys
4:17 PM <•ARD> so it's a free port because shutting it down would be the thaumaturgic equivalent of shutting down the semiconductor manufacturing industry
4:17 PM <anorrack> along with other industries
4:17 PM <•ARD> nobody in third law wants to admit that their magic metals et. al are built off of the absolute worst asian labor practices
4:17 PM <anorrack> while it was booming during the cold war, due to the slow down of innovation in the thaumaturgic sector (relative to the 80's) KWC has less people, but is still extremely populated
4:18 PM <•ARD> honestly i imagine the KWC as being like, the biggest free port in the world
4:18 PM <•ARD> strictly because it's like, the primary asian pipeline to the anomalous
4:18 PM <•TyGently> "nobody in third law wants to admit that their magic metals et. al are built off of the absolute worst asian labor practices" this is true of every corporation on earth
4:18 PM <anorrack> i can see it being relatively small, but just like its baseline economic counterparts, it explodes in the early 20th century
4:19 PM <anorrack> every single corporation has a finger in the proverbial eldritch pie, and none of them want it to fial
4:19 PM <•TyGently> remember that 3ports has, like, 100k people around 2020 though
4:19 PM <anorrack> so all of them pitch in, investing and investing and spending
4:20 PM <anorrack> so this could easily have 80k in the 2000's, moving up to almost 3p levels in the 20's
4:20 PM <anorrack> I can imagine all the buildings plastered with advertisements, the officials are all corporate cronies
4:20 PM <anorrack> the only guy who wanted to get corporate interference out of his city was assassinated during his mayoral campaign back in 09

4:25 PM <anorrack> how much do you think Cthulu Sperm goes for on the Chinese black market
4:25 PM <•ARD> anorrack: a lot, probably, shit would make one hell of an aphrodisiac
4:33 PM <•ARD> man there's probably a ton of industry in the KWC
4:34 PM <•ARD> this thing is probably the magical equivalent of a rare earth metals mine, sperm whale, and sweatshop factory all in one
4:34 PM <•ARD> what do you think eldritch ambergris is used for

4:21 PM <•ARD> honestly? i bet that a lot of the KWC's inhabitants aren't even anomalous themselves
4:21 PM <•TyGently> yeah, the vast majority of the population is gonna be laborers
4:21 PM <anorrack> They were probably free divers, looking for pearls, but got swept into a riptide and ended up in KWC's nostril
4:21 PM <•ARD> my guess is that KWC is between half to one million inhabitants
4:21 PM <•ARD> most of whom are born, live, and die inside the city itself as laborers or infrastructure to support that labor

4:21 PM <anorrack> who would run the police department
4:22 PM <•ARD> anorrack: Probably the city residents themselves. wherever there's a boot you'll find a boot licker
4:25 PM <•ARD> they're just cops that are slightly stupider than usual due to the high arsenic levels
4:22 PM <anorrack> a techie, entrepreneur place, sure
4:22 PM <anorrack> but at least it has laws
4:22 PM <anorrack> KWC
4:22 PM <•TyGently> you have your douchey tech startups, your massive base of starving artists, rampant gentrification and homelessness problems
4:24 PM <•ARD> anorrack: KWC is ostensibly controlled by the city government, which depends on the industry to survive. so the police department is basically in the pocket of big business
4:24 PM <anorrack> are we just making bioshock
4:24 PM <•ARD> basically their job is to shut down strikes
4:24 PM <•TyGently> anorrack: the secret is that *all* of the anomalous enclaves are hellholes found only in ayn rand's wet dreams
4:24 PM <•ARD> anorrack: is a man not entitled to the sweat of his plagiarism
4:25 PM <•TyGently> eurtec slightly less so

•TyGently> anorrack: any significant quantity of "biological" material from the kaiju is EXTREMELY toxic
4:27 PM <•TyGently> also there's no need to chuck homeless people into stomach pits, they serve the same purpose as they do in most countries
4:27 PM <anorrack> imagine the gutter oil busines
4:28 PM <•TyGently> which is as a desperate starving workforce ready to serve as a punishment and take over when the current proletariat gets worn out
4:29 PM <•ARD> anorrack: the KWC's population is DEFINITELY bigger than what the official census is
4:29 PM <tawny> anyway for mechanical reasons the kaiju cells (assuming it even uses cells) would probably be the same size as real life cells
4:29 PM <•GW|Busy> maybe I'm underestimating rain
4:29 PM <anorrack> now, does the foundation play a role anywhere near KWC?
4:29 PM <anorrack> or are they unaware of them
4:29 PM <•ARD> TyGently: actually only 20% of cops in KWC beat their wives. another 20% beat their husbands because the city is very progressive
4:29 PM <•TyGently> anorrack: absolutely aware of them, absolutely powerless to do anything
4:30 PM <•TyGently> it's a similar situation of "if the foundation raids enclave X the populace and all the companies that depend on enclave X would make their life a living hell"
4:31 PM <•TyGently> the pragmatist faction that generally guides the Foundation pre-2024 would leave KWC alone outside of just, making sure they don't cause the kaiju to wreck anything

anorrack> The GOC would maintain tabs on KWC, right?
5:11 PM <anorrack> ethics violations and all of that
5:12 PM <•ARD> I mean, same way the UN does
5:12 PM <•ARD> which is ineffectively

anorrack> Would KWC technically be a threat entity
5:17 PM <anorrack> since it is, y'know, a city inside cthulu
5:17 PM <anorrack> soo Potential Threat entity, then
5:17 PM <•ARD> arguably the city is no more a threat than the city built around mt vesuvius
5:17 PM <•ARD> it's the mountain/slash monster that's the problem
5:17 PM <•ARD> so I imagine the KWC and the Kowloon Kaiju are considered two separate entities for political purposes

anorrack> When was KWC first discovered?
5:44 PM <•ARD> KWC was probably inhabited for a while by fishermen and divers of the South China Islands
5:44 PM <•ARD> They didn't stay there long but it was a convenient port during expeditions and stuff
5:45 PM <anorrack> how deep is it located?
5:48 PM <•ARD> Not sure. It probably protrudes out of the water somewhere, like a tiny atoll
5:48 PM <anorrack> oo the paracel islands
5:49 PM <anorrack> one of the islands could just be the skull popping up
5:49 PM <•ARD> oh yeah, there's even a sinkhole there that part of the body is coiled up in
5:49 PM <•ARD> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Hole

•ARD> anorrack: the brain is way bigger than I'd like
6:06 PM <•ARD> ideally the population density is somewhere between Hong Kong and the original Kowloon Walled City
6:13 PM <anorrack> shrink the KWC's area to 50 square kilometers?
6:13 PM <anorrack> maybe even 10?
6:15 PM <tawny> possibly
6:15 PM <tawny> you could also get away with saying that due to some anomalous spacial bullshit it's hard to measure the area/volume of the place
6:16 PM <anorrack> oh shit, apparently the paracel islands have huge oil and natural gas reserves
6:16 PM <anorrack> so this works for it as well
6:28 PM <•ARD> I can’t believe the KWC became an industrial juggernaut lol

anorrack> since in my draft so far, Vietnam is controlling KWC jointly with China, i was thinking of adding the vietnam star as well
7:14 PM <•ARD> anorrack: I would expect china to exert sole claim to the region tbh
7:14 PM <anorrack> So would i, but it is still vietnam's territory
7:15 PM <anorrack> and with the GOC breathing down China's neck, i wouldn't be surprised if they even pretended to play ncie
•ARD> Good point

anorrack> is it more realistic that the corporations would split up KWC into districts to administrate for each corporation, or would the corporations unite in a coalition to run the entirety of the city
8:55 PM <anorrack> like, the Anderson districts, the Prometheus Districts, etc
8:57 PM <tawny> idk if it'd be so orderly in either way
8:58 PM <tawny> I'd expect more like a chaotic snarl of places that are de facto under the control of a given corporation but there's nothing official about it aside from they own the apartments, office buildings, grocery stores, etc on those blocks
8:59 PM <tawny> also it seems like a good opportunity to leave out the established entities like anderson prometheus MCD etc and make up a billion totally new ones

•ARD> anorrack: the KWC is not orderly
9:01 PM <tawny> also the corporations would constantly backstab and undermine each other for slight gains in relative power if they thought they could get away with it
9:01 PM <•ARD> Out of universe the idea is to evoke the cramped urban jungle that was the Kowloon Walled City and introduce Asian culture and themes to third law

9:02 PM <•ARD> anorrack: my guess is that the CCCP controls the Cortex alongside Chinese corporations, the same way they control China today
9:03 PM <•ARD> I imagine that they want to MAKE the cortex the Asian equivalent of Eurtec
9:03 PM <•ARD> But the city inherently rebels against them
9:07 PM <anorrack> so basically KWC is ancapistan: eldritch edition
9:09 PM <anorrack> Now i'm seeing this as a kafkaesque nightmare where the corporations have diviied up the city, the districts are unclear, and civilians are imprisoned for following one corporations set of rules rather than another
9:21 PM <•ARD> It’s whatever weird system the CCCP uses but cranked up with paratech and crime
9:22 PM <•ARD> I could definitely see the corps trying to divvy up the city but the kaiju’s brain shifts the boundaries constantly

•TyGently> I'm imagining really bad cyborgs with mass produced prosthetics
10:00 PM <•TyGently> god, here's a terrible idea
10:00 PM <•ARD> TyGently: MADE IN CHINA
10:01 PM <anorrack> all the batons break after a couple swipes
10:01 PM <anorrack> so they always have like five backup batons
10:01 PM <anorrack> the ultimate in throw-away culture
10:01 PM <•ARD> TyGently: I mean yeah, basically — cheap prosthetics to A) help them beat up people more easily and B) keep them dependent on their suppliers because the shit breaks
10:01 PM <•TyGently> the cyborg cops are recruited from dying workers, who are given free, lifesaving cyborg prosthetics from their parent company, at the cost as becoming indentured servants
10:02 PM <•ARD> Instead of one million-dollar man they have a million one-dollar men
10:02 PM <anorrack> ARD: how about i call them "repurposed laborers"
10:02 PM <•ARD> anorrack: nah, stick with cops. You can probably say where they recruit but they’re still cops
10:03 PM <•TyGently> anderson has gyrfalcon, KWC has pigeon
10:03 PM <•ARD> TyGently: I imagine that the most common prosthetic in the KWC is artificial lungs
10:03 PM <anorrack> god, imagine the smog
10:03 PM <anorrack> they're stuck underwater, no where for the pollutants to go

anorrack> the smog would be combined with the cold, because its in the bottom of the ocean, and cold air pollution settles to the ground easily
10:12 PM <•TyGently> then again, we don't know this thing's body temperature, except for the fact that it's livable
10:12 PM <anorrack> I mean, it's been hibernating for several millenia
10:13 PM <anorrack> a groundhog's temperature drops several degrees when sleeping for a few months
10:13 PM <anorrack> imagine the temperature of Cthulu's cousin
10:13 PM <tawny> it might also have some weird anatomical feature that helps reduce the smog and make it livable
10:13 PM <Conwell> tawny: That is, like, the eighth time I've seen someone reference the monkey's paw this week. That short story sure has reentered the popular canon as of late.
10:14 PM <tawny> I think in my mind I was imagining that the kaiju, like, has its nose poked above the surface of the water, or that there's some non-euclidean spacial bullshit allowing for a somewhat open-air connection to a normal outside space
10:15 PM <anorrack> fucking lol, the nose is just emitting a constantly stream of weird and abnormal pollutants

•ARD> Stories in the KWC shouldn't be gritty, it needs to be greasy
11:26 PM <anorrack> damn
11:27 PM <anorrack> greasy, oily, everything is damp, that kinda thing?
11:27 PM <•ARD> exactly! they're living inside a brain in the tropics!

•ARD> this way you can explore the class disparity, the city environments, the cyborg cops, and the GOC's institutional ineffectiveness versus the power of individuals to support the community
11:33 PM <anorrack> class consciousness n all that good stuff
11:34 PM <•ARD> exactly. your anticapitalism should be about as subtle as a brick to the face
