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.

Still pushing, huh? "Not a lot, honestly, not beyond what I just said. I'm not the only person that feels the way I just told you. We don't know what the hell's happening to us, nobody's givin' us answers, and none of us are happy 'bout that. And since we ain't got anyone else to pin it on, because we ain't gettin' answers..."

She's getting too worked up over this. Lisa shakes her head, takes a deep breath, then gives Mr. Martin a tired stare. "We don't trust you because you haven't given us a reason to trust you. That's the sentiment, sir. If you want it to stop, help us. Answer our questions."

"Then give us more truth," Lisa replies, like it's the most obvious thing in the world.

...then she mentally stumbles. "Uh. That's. Well." Oops. That's a really good point, admittedly. But then- "I didn't honestly expect I'd get an answer if I did? Felt like it'd be a waste of my time. So maybe I will. As long as you won't mind my sharing whatever you do tell me."
