Crystal Cove Plans/Timeline

- Bad Date Mystery by Poppy/Moo
Ellie's parents set her up with a snooty neighbor boy, Charles, trying to get her out of the gang 'norm'. After their date at the Bloody Steak, which she didn't want to be on, her date takes her up to the peak overlooking the city lights. When Ellie shoots him down in a gentle tone, though quite harshly (harping on his style and egotistical attitude) and leaves on foot, she's attacked by a masked monster who reportedly had been attacking couples at the peak for a few days now. The villain ends up being hired, by Ellie's date to attack all the girls who shoot him down on dates. The gang went to school with him and after the date but before capturing the villain, someone in the gang can put together that the thing all the girls have in common is Charles, though he's usually there during the attacks, and are at a loss for suspects until the trapped villain rats Charles out. Alexander unwittingly gets on Ella's parents' bad side even more by protesting about her date with Charles & gets really worried about her being attacked. He takes on an extra protective role which is probably going to end up getting him teased but he insists that it's a friend thing <___< because he's Alex and genuinely believes it.

- Gatorsburg Mystery
Matty turns 20 on Oct. 9 and the gang decides to take him on a fun weekend trip to Gatorsburg. Upon arriving, they find that the town appears deserted. They check into the hotel, where the owners who seem angry that they're there tell them 'the rules': "#1. Girls and Boys can't stay in the same room #2. Don't leave your room, even if you hear: Screams, moans, wails, pounding, gnawing, scratching and anything that sounds like a body being dragged across the hard wood floor. #3. No pets allowed!" Later that night, they're attacked by gator people. They make it to the van and head out of town. As they cross the bridge, they realize that the gator people have stopped and are watching them, that they only wanted them out of town. They sneak back in on foot to find the gator people loading a small boat with boxes. The boxes are filled with fake gator products labeled as real %100. The masked villains are the motel owners trying to make a living since everyone moved out of town when the gators were all hunted out.

- Introduce the Jealousy Phantom by Poppy
A Jealousy Phantom attaches itself to the group unknowingly, instigating and feeding off of their jealousies while on a trip to the Crystal Cove Spook Museum to see the new exhibits

- Quest Lab's Mystery by AJ
Quest Labs decides to test a product on the people of Crystal Cove by shipping 'modified meat' to the grocery store. It goes wrong and turns the people who eat it into ravenous zombie-like creatures who are hungry for human 'meat'.

- Bloodbank/hospital Mystery
Sarah gets sick and has to do her part in research from hospital while the others solve the mystery of who keeps stealing blood from the Blood Bank. It turns out to be a vampire who poses as a worker at the hospital when the Blood Bank is tapped dry, putting Sarah in grave danger when he get's hungry and arrives at the hospital looking for more blood bags. It turns out that the vampire is real, but never meant to harm anyone, only going a little crazed on his transition from humans to actual packaged blood. This will be the first time Sarah (and the gang as a whole) find that ghouls can be real. They suspect a local 'witch doctor' who is constantly claiming that blood is needed in all spells and cures, etc.

- Haunted Bayou Mystery
Gang travels to haunted bayou to investigate a mysterious crew of pirate ghosts. A nice woman invites them to stay at her plantation style home. They find that the ghosts are not haunting people, but trying to scare people away from the Werecat woman (the lady they're staying with who is a couple hundred years old) who killed them for their treasure (which will hold an artifact). They find that the ghosts are real, and trap the Werecat woman in a tomb, sealing it with a spell by her 'assistant' who is actually a witch in disguise and will become a long-time ally, moving to CC - where she'll become and OC. They suspect the assistant and the ferry driver, both of whom are unfriendly to them and tell them to leave. So the gang is attacked by both pirate ghosts, and a Werecat while in the bayou.

- Mermaid Mystery by Moo
Alex turns 20 on Oct. 21 and decides that it's time they do something fun and dangerous like water skiing, which they do, but during the trip Alex is attacked by some sort of sea creature and breaks his leg/is nearly drowned. He wants revenge, but because of his condition he has to take a backseat to all of the action while the rest of the gang is trying to figure out who did it. He puts Sarah in charge as the defacto leader, but does too much backseat leading (which maybe makes her angry?) It turns out that they were trying to build a water resort upon that certain lake-area which is actually home to a society of mermaids. By making the resort it would destroy their homes and expose their kind so they have been trying to scare off potential threats; however, they also say that they weren't the ones who attacked Alex, but the ones who saved him. He disagrees. The company building the water resort "hired" one of the mermaid creatures to flush out/kill any mermaids that wouldn't move away in exchange for promising that the mermaid would be able to walk on land. It's meant to highlight some of his jealousies toward other members of the group since he feels like he's useless without his physicality. He's not as smart as Sarah, silver-tongued as Jo, mechanically tuned as Allen, and he's not a cat. Even though he plays his role in sleuthing (albeit with much pain and grit) and sets a trap, it has probably delayed his healing for another week.

- Island Resort Mystery
Gang travels to a popular resort island where young people like themselves go to relax and have some fun. They are going as young and carefree people, and coming out like robotic and obedient zombie-like adults. The gang travels there to figure out what's happening, suspecting a voodoo man who is only trying to protect the kids as well as the resort owner who doesn't seem to appreciate the way the younger generations behave. They find an artifact called the Daemon Ritus in a building with a theater where they find a movie informing the viewers on how to appear human. Once they have the DR, demons start attacking them to retrieve it and possess them with their kind who they've been sending out into the world via the island guests. The possessed island guests are also after them. Someone discovers a giant container filled with the souls of the island guests that were replaced with the demons, as the demons are searching for a pure soul. Only one of the gang should come across this, while the others' souls have all been taken and they possessed. This person will free the gang's souls which will then return to the wrong bodies. When they open up the DR in the middle of them, the souls jump around until they find the right bodies. Then they are all able to free the rest of the souls, which makes the demons angry. They learn that if the leader of the demons is able to devour a pure soul, then the demons will rule the world for the next 10,000 years. They are able to defeat the leader by using the DR against it, sucking into the artifact. The other demons parish and the mystery is done.

- City Hall Mystery by Ever
Mystery against City Hall placing Jo in a situation to choose between friends and family. ((mystery to be discussed))

- Chinatown Mystery by Moo
A Caspian tiger (a species thought to be extinct) cub gets tiger-napped. The gang is hired to find the napper to find that the person who hired them only wants the cub for themselves, as the cub's blood is an 'item' on the list. When the gang captures the napper, who's not really the napper, they have to rush to find the one who hired them before he kills the rare cub for good.

- Group splits up and they all go their own ways for many weeks or even months, due to anger and jealousy caused by the Phantom. We will post a few times during the split, maybe having some of them run into each other from time to time, but mostly have large time skips. During this time ((let me know what your characters will do)) Ellie's mom gets her a local modeling contract and she enrolls in college classes for Biomedical Engineering, neither of those things she wants for herself - She'd much rather be taken seriously as a News Reporter/Journalist. Joleen is going to go to an art camp to get out of town. After a call from her parents- where her mother spends it talking about how she is positive her father is cheating- she starts to realizes things aren't okay at home and comes back. Alex will go hard in boxing and neglect most of his trap-making. His grades in college remain the same as his life is entirely boxing and school. Even when his uncle asks him to deal with the mice in the garage he just half-heartedly sets up store-bought traps. He starts attracting a lot of anger toward him for his boxing skills which is what leads to him to question why the town is growing hatred towards one another.

- Defeating the Jealousy Phantom by Poppy
Gang gets back together to solve the mystery of why the townspeople are so hostile and hating/jealous of each other, discovering the Phantom and defeating it together by releasing and letting go of their jealousies. The gang is back together.

- Comic-con Mystery by Moo
A rival mystery group/competition. They meet each other's parallels (so to speak) and they all have very opposite personalities/genders/whatever despite fulfilling the same role (e.g. Alex's parallel is very polite, calculated. Matty's parallel is a picky vegetarian who's never hungry, Sarah's parallel is healthy and athletic and hates computers, etc.) When a string of ghouls surface they have a not-so-friendly competition to see who can find the culprit. The rival group (Bizzaro Mystery Gang) always seem to be one step ahead, but one strange thing is present at all of the scenes/on all the costumes: blonde hair. They begin suspecting the other gang but can't find any ACTUAL evidence until they come back to the room and find one of the objects on their list missing. Whoever had come in, disarmed all of Alex's traps with the exception of a tracker (this is the part where Alex jokingly reveals that he's slipped trackers into all of his friends) that latched onto the culprit during theft. After figuring out that it was in fact the obvious choice, they chase after Bizzaro Mystery Gang (cue dramatic car chase) and catch them. As it turns out, they too, have a list of objects, including one that the original gang didn't have on their list yet. Both are confiscated, but their talking animal warns them that they are getting in over their heads.

- The Mystery of Oobis by Nella
The mystery surrounding the talking cat Oobis, comes to light. Panella has said that she will drop the clues into our play here and there and send personal PMs as information needs to be leaked. We find that Oobis doesn't have a lot of time "left".
