May Meta Plot - Part 1

Who: Mr. Martin and Your Character
What: Mr. Martin has a few questions
When: Monday, May 11, 2020
Where: The streets of NYC
Rating/Warnings: TBD
Notes: This is happening all over the city in the afternoon, wherever your character is currently walking. When your characters talk about their encounter, they’ll learn that everyone’s encounter (he will visit with 8 characters) happened at the same time. How did Mr. Martin manage to do that?! It’s a ~mystery~.

Players are welcome to either thread out the encounter, or handwave. Either way the encounter will be short. If you would prefer to handwave the conversation, feel free to discuss with the mods in the comments.


The weather is chilly and rainy, though the snow from the other day has thankfully melted. The weather doesn’t seem to stop people from going about their lives and the busy streets are bustling as usual.

Mr. Martin is there, standing in the middle of the sidewalk, when your character rounds the corner, they can’t miss him. The streets might be full of pedestrians, but they seem to part around him, giving your character clear path to him.

Mr. Martin looks surly, but the weather only marginally contributed to that mood. He’s mulling about something else entirely.

“Mr./Ms. [Your character’s name],” He addresses your character. “Let’s take a walk.” It’s not a request.

Well, he couldn't very well deny that.

"Yeah," he said, settling a bit. "But I think better communication would improve things a lot."

So, that's what this was about. And while it made him nervous to be confronted about it so directly, Elliott couldn't deny that he'd wanted to talk to them about it.

"Well... I know there's at least a couple people that think you've implanted their memories. And when random stuff started appearing, a few others were worried that you were breaking into their houses. There's a lot of paranoia going around, and you're the only ones that seem to know anything, so you look like the bad guys."

Elliott blinked, mind blanking under pressure.

"I think so. Look, it's just some conspiracy theory stuff that could be cleared up if you guys just talked to us a bit more."

He tries for a smile. It's a fragile thing.

"I want to believe that, but you haven't told us much. It's okay if you don't have all the answers, but maybe just share whatever it is you do know. I think the transparency would really help."
