Second Pass MUSH: Politics, Search and Plot!
 

Xanadu Town, while not exactly idyllic, has until now been a shining example of how riders and non-riders can live together peaceably. But the youngest goldrider's inability to control her dragon as she led her flight to blood from sick, College-owned lab wherries was the last straw for the town residents - and a convenient excuse for Weyrleader K'den, still seething over Xanadu Wing's lousy performance in drills and the Spring Games, as well as the scandalous arrest of a Xanadu bronzerider for jewel-theft. He split the wing, assigned them to new wingleaders and ordered all the Xanadu-based riders to move to the Weyr by the end of the month.

Dragonriders who'd split their time between careers and riding, dragonriders who'd been studying at the College, dragonriders married to townfolk - lots of unhappy riders have to pack up and move, life and livelihoods left behind.

Search is open for the clutch to hatch in early June, with bronzerider bids due by the 15th of May. This clutch is likely to graduate into Threadfall - we are particularly looking for future casualties. As we are running a temporary storyline set at the Weyr, we also welcome weyrfolk and instariders who want to make the transition to town life when we return.

Wracked by guilt after the death of Julian's blue Rauth, wingleader Th'deus has taken matters into his own hands and decided to do something about it... something secret which breaks the laws of time. Unaware of their Xanadu-based wingleader steadily getting in too deep, Azov Weyr is celebrating the hatching of Tachryleith's latest clutch and keeping a steady eye on the horizon for Thread, now just weeks away. How steady can their eye be, though, when the entire Weyr believes the Weyrleader is about to be replaced, just as soon as the aged Tiangliath decides to take to the skies?

Set in a unique fusion of town and weyr, Second Pass offers unique opportunities for non-riders to participate in game-wide plots. Come be a terrified business owner afraid the Threadproofing on her ceiling won't hold, or a College Professor convinced that even with the new printing presses, his students are growing ever more illiterate.

We are in particular, looking for a town councilor to help push non-rider storylines: isn't democracy manifestly ill-prepared to deal with the challenges of surviving a fifty year Fall? We're also still looking for a man or woman crazy enough to dare fight Thread on foot as our Groundcrew Captain. Or adopt one of the NPCs and join our most recent weyrling class as they discover whether or not they're up to facing the challenge of surviving Thread!
