Epiphany 6: Ideaphoria

This is a Discord meeting! Get your trenchcoat and your spyglass ready! The year starts off with a menacing mystery!   In the back yard of a building at the middle of Sackett St's 130s block, five masked mystery investigators stare at each other. Who will move first? Will they be allies? Or enemies?

Epiphany 5: Illumination

Each investigator has acquired many pieces, but not enough on their own to extrapolate the shape of the entire puzzle. Is this a rectangular jigsaw? A three-dimensional sculpture? Does its nature vary by the location of the observer?   Perhaps the dimension of time matters as much as any corner piece!   These masked mystery manipulators consider more controlled locations, where they can examine their latest clues in detail while contributing prior discoveries to the collective pool.   Veteran members of the Trenchcoat Brigade collect their prisoner and their physical clues. They regroup in the panel van of Abbey Normal Investigations to pool their discoveries thus far.   Meanwhile, potential members of the Trenchcoat Brigade take their findings from the Foxfire Shed to their next point of observation. If unidentified parties access the Foxfire shed, Makeshift will receive a quiet notification. Where can our heroes get more information? Ideally, without traveling to an Earth that is not their own?

Epiphany 3: Manifest

Current and potential members of the Trenchcoat Brigade investigate the origins and destinations of the metaphysical light mote streams, in the Columbia Street Waterfront District of Brooklyn, NY. Or possibly in a Boston they almost recognize, of a Massachusetts they have never before seen. Or, indeed, a large island in a river -- an island with a short mountain of three peaks -- that perhaps has certain parallels to the Island of Montreal? That metropolis with the ancient fortifications is not the Montreal which Tabitha or Patrick would recognize!

Epiphany 1: Starchaser

Hero work is a skill. It is developed through diligent effort; through trial, and error, and retrial, and redemption. To save the day, our heroes must have the capacity to overcome the challenge --

 

-- the insight to determine the challenge --

 

-- the motivation to confront the challenge --

 

-- and the fortune, good or ill, to encounter the challenge.

 

In Brooklyn, New York, on what Project: Quantum Leap labels "Earth Prime", a villain's plot is about to acquire the difference between "likely success" and "assured success", all because no sufficiently skilled hero team could encounter this plot in time to interfere.

 

Sometimes, Destiny cheats.

 

Five people follow four separate star trails to a single site … where space no longer synchronizes with time!
