Please read as far as the double lines before posting in this thread
The Good League of Good is a Nexus organization devoted to the redemption of evildoers and the care and support of those in need. If you are looking to smite evil, please check out HALO or WATCHTOWER.
If you are brand new to ffrp, please come to the Nexus OOC thread and introduce yourself. We all want to meet you!
A Brief History of GLoG:
Spoiler
You know what this OP needs? A brief history of GLoG. Which would have to be written by one of the few people who were around from the beginning. Any volunteers?
Our Redemption Program:
Spoiler
Individuals who come in search of redemption should be interviewed by a member to see how their needs can be best met, and then assigned to a mentor who will assist them. Graduation from the redemption program will occur when both the redemee and his/her mentor agree that they have made sufficient progress.
Other Charitable Activities:
Spoiler
In addition to the redemption of evildoers, the organization performs other good works such as caring for distressed individuals in need, housing and feeding evacuees from the city during disasters, and healing sick and injured people in GLoG's infirmary - renowned as the most advanced place of healing in the Nexus.
Attention villains:
Spoiler
Conflict is great! It's the heart of any story, and there isn't much to roleplay without it. However, as a player to player courtesy, please check in with the players who are active at any given time before launching an attack. Not everyone wants to roleplay combat scenes, and sometimes there are other things going on that players don't want to interrupt for a random fight. Either a PM/IM to players, a short post in thread to say ((Mind if I introduce a villain here?)) or a longer post in the OOC thread if it's a larger plot is appreciated.
Also, please don't plan any villainy that will result in destroying the base or having the same effect (poisoning the lake, burning down the forest, etc.) without the consent of the majority of the players who would be affected.
Base Defences:
Spoiler
There is a perimeter of cactus plants to encourage anyone on foot to enter by one of the main entrance points.
((If any of your characters add more defences, please PM them to the person who made this thread so they can be added.))
======================================
If you're a newbie, and you've read this far, you should know enough to join in the fun.
Everything beyond this point is Bonus Material.
Members/Residents:
Spoiler
Please PM the creator of the OP to be added to the list when you bring a character into the thread with the intention of redeeming or of having them reside here on a regular basis. IC, we'll assume there's a sign in log somewhere.
Our IC leadership council:
Andreas Emeral (played by Zefir) Ironbeard (npc, can be played by anyone)
Quinn (played by The Bushranger)
Pathfinder (Wolfbane)
Reelshka (played by Morty)
Runner (played by KerfuffleMach2)
Shrike (played by The Bushranger)
Zamira (played by horngeek)
The leadership council exists so that any one member can make important decisions affecting all of GLoG. Basically, when someone shows up and says 'I need to speak to the person in charge', any one of the leadership council can handle it.
Description of the new GLoG setting:
(map to come maybe?)
Spoiler
After the original GLoG building was destroyed by an army of catpeople, the survivors took out a mortgage and purchased Phoenix Lake Campground. Facilities include the main lodge house, a bathhouse with separate male and female sections, a stable (one horse present, a chestnut mare named Fancy owned by Dr Burnett), various picnic shelters, and a few scattered cabins. It's set in the foothills of the Acro mountains, and mainly surrounded by woods. There are many hiking trails nearby leading to mountaintop vistas, waterfalls, seacoves, and various other locations, both within this thread, and in the Outside thread. The campground is also within easy walking distance of the city of Inside, though there is also a Riftline station just outside the campground for those who prefer to take the train or who have farther to go.
At the lake, there is a small dock with a little shed nearby where a few canoes and paddleboats are stored. The swimming area has a GIANT slide and a rope swing. Because GIANT slides and rope swings are awesome. There is a sandy volleyball court not far from the slide, a playground under the trees, set back from the lake somewhat, and a set of horseshoe pits.
Having been built on a Generic Ancient Burial Ground, Phoenix Lake Campground is haunted by various ghosts. They are generally harmless, and for the most part glad to have some company, though pranks and hijinks may occur. Ghosts can be NPC'd by anyone unless they are listed as PCs in the Member/Resident list. They tend to speak in Gray, and mostly appear for comic purposes, but this is by no means a requirement.

The lake:
Buildings:
Spoiler
Main Lodge: This large building contains an industrial kitchen with a cafeteria style serving area, and an open space that was once used as the dining hall. The space is warmed by a massive fireplace. Bunk beds are lined up on one end of the hall, opposite the kitchen, and a few comfy chairs and sofas are beginning to appear around the fireplace as they are procured. The building itself is made of stone.
Bathhouse: This building is divided into the men's and women's bathhouses, with entrances at either end. It has shower stalls, a line of sinks, and toilet stalls in each.
Cabins: Individuals can have their own room within a cabin, but they are unlikely to have a full cabin to themselves unless they come equipped with a family. Some of the cabins have been rebuilt, so may have more space than the 4 room cabins the campground came with, and a few cabins have had private bathrooms installed. All cabins are named after trees, and players are free to invent further details about their own cabins.
Spoiler
Main Lodge - Willow Infirmary - Cedar
Cabin 1 - Oak
Cabin 2 - Sycamore
Cabin 3 - Redwood
Cabin 4 - Maple Cabin 5 - Apple - Visitor's Cabin
Cabin 6 - Cherry
Cabin 7 - Chestnut
Cabin 8 - Birch
Cabin 9 - Dogwood
Cabin 10 - Elm - full
Cabin 11 - Denim - family cabin
Cabin 12 - Rowan - family cabin
Cabin 13 - Poplar - family cabin
Cabin 14 - Forest Hut - family cabin
Cabin 15 - Sapling - nursery
Cabin 5 - Apple is reserved for visitors who do not want to stay at the lodge. They are requested to check in at the main lodge, where any member can give them permission to stay for a few days. Longer than that, and unless they are in need, they would be requested to either join or move to their own place or one of the local inns.
New cabins can be added as the needed. Here is a list of unused tree names:
Workshop: A well built cabin designed by Reelshka, containing nothing at present but the Mainframe installation. It is locked. Drones fly in and out of a small entrance that opens for them when they send an encrypted signal.
Infirmary: If no PC is present in the Infirmary, patients are tended to by Nurse Piper, a ghost NPC who haunts the infirmary. Despite being a ghost, she is solid enough when managing anything to do with nursing. She has a tyrannical bedside manner, but will always put the welfare of her patients first. She is able to generally stabilize patients and do general nursing care, but cannot provide magical healing or any type of advanced medicine that would normally be performed by a doctor.
PC healers include:
Quinn (The Bushranger) - doctor and paladin
Tobias (Firefox) - druid healer
Dr Adrian Rein (Murkus) - doctor
(PM the keeper of the OP if you want your character to be added to this list)
Infirmary Description
Spoiler
The outside of the infirmary looks just like all the rest of the buildings. Nothing distinguishes it at all.
But inside, everything is white, with silver highlighting. Even though it doesn't seem possible, when looking from outside, sunlight filters inside. Giving the place a warm feeling with natural light.
A soft, soothing music filters through the whole building and voices can barely be heard saying words of healing and comfort, like: "You are going to be okay." "We'll take care of you." "You are dear to us." and so on.
Each room is walled off for a limited amount of privacy, because the pixies know that humans seem to need this. Strange. But it is limited. There are no doors.
Kinda looks like this:
______________________________________
|___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___|
|__/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/___/|
|__________________________________---|
|_\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\_|
|__\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\___\|
Except the angles are more severe, so that people on the other side of the hall can't see into anyone's room. Only someone intentionally looking in, can see you.
There is also a small living area in the back for the Druid family.
About the Drones Mk 2:
Spoiler
In other news, the drones are back at GLoG. Drones are NPCs who can be played by anyone, within the guidelines below:
Their Primary Function is member safety.
They no longer have teleport beams or alignment scanners.
They do have stun beams, little arms, and the ability to record what's going on around them.
They follow orders, unless those orders conflict with their Primary Function.
There are only 4-5 in operation at any one time.
They can be destroyed, but if so, they'll be restored from backup.
A few have been supplied with medical programming, and thus can be godmodded for infirmary duties.
They often have weird personality quirks and are prone to malfunctioning.
Statement: They speak in DarkOrange FixedSys
The only named drone (so far) is Caretaker, who is a private drone charged with protecting Brinika and controlled by Morty.
There was some discussion about whether or not the time of the drones has passed, but since they are still sometimes used for mostly comic purposes, and since Brinika's personal drone is onscreen a lot, it seems right to keep a few around.
***When this thread reaches 50 pages, anyone can make a new GLoG thread. Please be willing to keep the membership tables updated, add the old thread to the Archives list, and check that the link to the Nexus OOC thread is current. If you anticipate being away from the forums much during the lifetime of the thread (each thread usually lasts a few weeks) then please let someone else do it.***
Marty looks over at Dr. Quinn. Er...I m-might as w-well test m-my foot! I d-don't feel too b-bad anymore. I'm g-going to see w-what's wrong. Marty gently hops off the bed. He maintains his balance. W-Wow....it w-works...one m-minute...I'll b-be back Dr. Quinn. He'll walk over to the hall of the Infirmary slowly, testing his foot. Then he sees the scene and looks confused. That was Nurse Piper...she hadn't hurt anybody. She...er...it? Let's go with she. Marty looks over at the fox. Oh...Um...hi?
Justin gets a shocked look on his face, clutches at his collar and turns his shoulder to Julie. "So in the end you only wanted me for my body!? I thought we were something more than that!" Returning to his normal position, "Assuming the 'Finder's Fee' is already covered in your half, I've got no problem with that." Seems he agrees with that.

Lakeside - Tomorrow
"Your body... and to have someone to share this with. We're heisting a pirate's plundered booty! That's not the kind of thrill you want to go through on your own. Now, if you don't mind me speeding things up a bit..." Julie closes her eyes, shuts her mouth, and concentrates. With a rumble, the chest should begin to rise out of the hole, shedding sand as it goes. Julie is obviously straining to lift that much weight with her telekinesis, but she should have it up on the beach before long.
With the foxfire no longer holding Nurse Piper, she vanishes.
Still present, haunting the infirmary of course, as Freddy will be aware. She's just no longer holding a form.

There are a lot of personal ties I have in HALO right now."
"But, I did have this idea kicking around in my head...it's kinda fanciful, though, and it would probably involve getting both the Council and Mr. Druid back in HALO in on this."
"...you really don't know just how heavily armed I am right now, do you?" Shrike asks Chris, almost sweetly smiling as she crosses her arms...
"And what sort of idea?"

Anywho!
Freddy twitches when the girl threatens him. Normally Huldra are totally unable to use violence against someone. Unless they're threatened or attacked first (or unless you comment on their tails).
But given how many people are around? Attacking first might not be the best plan...
So instead he turns, sits down on his haunches, and just peers at the young woman for a moment or two before-!
POOF!
Suddenly he isn't a fox at all!
He's a guy!
An absurdly attractive guy, in fact. An absurdly attractive guy based on Jamie's both conscious and unconscious ideals on what a perfectly attractive male would look like. Freddy has taken the form of the most handsome person possible from Jamie's point of view.
Most people are usually stunned for a few moments when faced with their own personal rendition of perfection.
"Please forgive me," the absurdly hawt guy says. "I had no idea that these apparitions were valued. But you see, even if I leave them alone it doesn't solve my own plight! I've been cursed with the form of that horrible monster and unless I prey on lost souls I'll lose my mind and begin hunting the living."
Oh noes!
That sounds terrible!
"So I'm trapped, feeding on the echoes of people that have passed on, trying desperately to avoid taking the life of an innocent," he locks his gaze with Jamie's, his eyes pleading. "This place is like a beacon to these lost souls. If you allowed me to hunt here then I'm sure I would be able to keep my mind."
Jamie blinks in surprise at Freddy's transformation!
Maybe even drools a little as she oogles the 'perfect man' before her.
Who might look a lot like a certain shy young druid!
Except with...cat ears?
...then she narrows her eyes.
And sighs.
"...well, I guess you were just following instinct. But the ghosts around here are people. Letting you eat them would be allowing you to commit murder!"
Quick, somebody book Spengler, Venkman, Stantz and Zeddemore on Murder One!
"...but maybe you should get a job removing bad spirits if you need to consume them that badly?"
Marty looks at the Huldra suspiciously. ...You're lying. Oh noes, Marty's paranoia activate! Souls? What? You are t-trapped in the b-body of a horrible m-monster and you're s-secretly some prince. He glares at the Huldra. You're illusions d-don't w-work one me. No m-magic does...what are y-you? Eating p-people..you sound like the h-hideous monster you say you're not. You k-kill, you use magic t-to lie. How c-can we trust you. Well, I don't. Perhaps a bit of insight into Marty's darker side? That or he's grown to hate liars. And Marty definitely perceives the Huldra as a liar.
Amusingly enough the Huldra's method of ghost-busting is quite familiar. Bind the spirit in place with ethereal shackles and then suck them into the containment unit that is their hollow interior!
Sadly we didn't get to see it.
"People?" Freddy echoes, sounding rather surprised. "You mean... you haven't noticed...?"
He glances around, sniffs the air a few times, twitches one of his ears, then shakes his head. "There might be one wraith here. But that wasn't the apparition I was after. These are ghosts, echoes of the living. Imprints of memory forced to repeat the last things they did in life for eternity."
He makes a sweeping gesture with one hand. "Some can remember a little longer than others. But I'm sure that if the living people left this place it wouldn't be long before the dead forgot you were ever here. They're only lost memories. No more a person than an old book is."
Then another gesture and a wisp of fox fire appears in his hand. Appears and resolves into an almost doll-like shape of a wind-up dancer. The teeny apparition begins to leap and spin and wheel about. "Besides. Eating the ghosts doesn't destroy them. It just means they're bound to me rather than whatever location they're haunting."
Hopefully that person with the vines doesn't thwack him. Things would go down-hill fast. And the person babbling at him is regarded with a sour look. "Nothing I've said is a lie," he replies. And he's totally telling the truth! But is he telling the whole truth? That's another question to answer!
And it's probably worth noting that the Huldra uses no magic. Magic is very much the domain of Warlocks and Witches. Not the craft of a beast of Discord such as himself! Nor do generic resistances to illusions, up to and beyond the likes of True Sight, cut through the glamors he weaves. Only a sprig of Allheal can reveal the full truth behind a Huldra's deception.
Good thing Allheal is a weed that can be found pretty much anywhere.

Smoke rises out of the hole in Cherry Cabin's roof, while a on-fire Marley runs out of the door of the cabin and drops to the ground to try to put the flames out.
"...you really don't know just how heavily armed I am right now, do you?" Shrike asks Chris, almost sweetly smiling as she crosses her arms...
"And what sort of idea?"
Chris shakes his head. "Not really, no. The outfit and distinct lack of apparent hardware is kind of misleading." He chuckles a bit, holding his hands up to show his teasing was in good intent.
Chris then pauses a bit, scratching the back of his head. "Well...I've kinda been wanting to build a house somewhere. HALO's nice and all, but I still feel like I should be providing somehow, plus it makes sense for personal reasons...I'm saying 'for personal reasons' a lot lately, aren't I?" He shrugs a bit. "Anyways, I figured that I'd find somewhere in between HALO and GLoG, and set up a place there. I'd then get a couple of portals that connect to both places so that we can just pop in whenever we like without a lot of hassle. We can then stay connected to HALO, while giving the kids the benefits of being here, among other things."

Oh hey. Reinholdt, looking rather pale, is sitting up in bed, leaning against the wall, a gun pointed at Freddy resting on his leg. Perhaps to help him steady it. Or maybe because it just looks cooler.
"Your preferred course of action is to leave here hungry." It seems more an order than a suggestion.
Granted, Rein doesn't really have much of the whole story. Just Jamie and Freddy's last posts. But he's had enough experience with 'soul eaters' that if he did know more he'd probably just want to end Freddy here and now and save the inevitability.
Ironically.

Butler rushes up to Marley and tosses a bucket of water on him! It's kinda dirty and soapy water. But it's water nonetheless!

"I know exactly what they are," Jamie huffs at Freddy the Huldra. "Just because they're ghosts doesn't mean they're not people too. They're our friends!"
Yup, even Palon!
"If you try to take them away, you'll have to go through me...and, oh, about everybody else here. And when we came here the ghosts were happy to see living people back here."
Oh, hey, then The Cat speaks up!
And Jamie just nods.
Nod nod nod!

Shrike chuckles, sticking her tongue out at Chris. "Let's just say that looks can be deceiving."
Not to mention that she doesn't have to be armed to be exceedingly lethal, after all.
"And hey, personal reasons are just fine. And that sounds like a great idea. I know the kids here would love to meet yours."

"Neh. Whatever. Enjoy your haunted camp-site," the Huldra huffs. He doesn't feel inclined to fight a bunch of people in order to get something to eat. He's not that hungry yet.
Though he's getting really close to kill them in their sleep and eat them hungry.
With a POOF! back to his natural shape the demon-fox slinks out the door, now in a very grumpy and cross mood.
VERY grumpy and cross!
He'll go trotting out of GLoG unless someone stops him, grumbling the whole time about people who value echoes of the dead more than the living. Crazy Nexus people.

Reinholdt watches Freddy go and Vidalia follow him, before glancing at Jamie. Then glancing around in general as his hand with the gun flops to one side.
"Good. Now... what the hell happened? How'd I get here?"

Bellan's no cheapskate, either. He reaches into a pouch at his belt and retrieves a small sack. This is offered to Pheonix. Upon inspection, the sack holds several oval-shaped gems of various sizes. Several thousand gold's worth, if one happens to be an appraiser.
The giant grins, relieved. What luck! Fate must be pleased with him. "Thank the Wheel. Take it, brother. Could you come right away? We've the creature trapped, momentarily."
Phoenix's homeland uses a gem/precious stone based currency, due to the royal family's aversion to precious metals, so Phoenix is indeed able to readily appraise the worth of the gems. He tucks the sack into his jacket. It can be given to GLoG's treasurer (whoever that is) later.
"Of course. Lead on.'

Vidalia frowns at the soul-eater as it walks away. She turns back to Marty. Stay here. she commands.
She then follows the Huldra to the GLoG exit. And please don't feel free to return. she waves.
She'll then head back to the infirmary.

I'll post there, then.

In a dream I found a place
of rotting meat and eldritch grace
and looked upon his primordial face
and from my thoughts could not erase
that sense of time that sense of space
and my heart the darkness did embrace.
-Johanna Stokes
Sakura puts Laela down next to the two far-babies. She pauses a moment to grin at the cuteness before returning to the others. Laela, meanwhile, proceeds to be helpless on her back! Oh noes!
The dryad is mildly curious about what they're eating. She hopes it's not meat, but isn't sure if now is a good time to bring it up. =x "Something to eat sounds great."
"Indeed, I'm starting to get rather hungry actually." Cessie replies. "Will there will be something for the babies as well?" Hopefully not directly from the boob. <.<
"I think Pansy said we were having fish and grilled vegetables tonight, but there's bound to be a nice variety to go with it. I fed my two before you came, so they wouldn't be a bother. Hopefully it will tide them over until after you're gone, but if not I can step into the other room while Eric keeps you two entertained." Julie knows someone who's... sensitive about nudity when she sees one, and she's not going to be a poor hostess and offend Cessie.
"Sakura, do you think Laela will be fine until we're done eating? Despite their growth, my two aren't ready for solid food yet, so I can't imagine she is." The thought of formula never occurs to Julie, of course.
The Huldra trudges along until he's just outside of view from the front gates and flops down in the middle of the road with a sigh. His empty heart is aching. Hollowness chewing away at him from the inside. Hunger gnawing at his mind and his resolve. He needs to eat something.
And he needs to eat something fast.
Maybe he could find some deer? Animals distract him from the hollowness for at least a little while. But only the soul of something humanoid seems to be able to actually quiet it.
Aaaguh!
Why did he have to get cursed with this blight! He didn't ask for it. He had been pious all his life. And this is how he's repaid for it? Being tormented as a monster?
Then a child speaks up.
And the demon-fox' ear twitches in her direction.
He provides the child with his best foxy grin. It could probably be considered adorable. "I can't imagine why anyone would want to be mean to someone as pretty as you."
