Occasionally mods will be allowing a set number of characters to schedule an involved conversation with a mod regarding the discovery of something in game, as announced on the OOC community or on a mod log. Characters who have signed up for the option will be selected via RNG (with preference given to characters who have not yet had a thread like this), and the thread will be conducted on this page.
You can see a sample thread in the comments below, but in essence, this thread is meant to mimic the conversation a tabletop player might have with their DM. The mod will establish the setting, and you may describe your character's actions and decisions. The mod will respond with reactions and any particular consequences, and the mod and player will move throughout the scenario together, until all questions are satisfied and all actions are taken.
After this informational thread is complete, it's assumed that anything learned within is now common knowledge for the rest of the game. You're still welcome to thread out discussion or discovery of this ICly, but if you'd like to skip ahead to any fallout or follow-up action, that's also fine.
As a note, these threads do not have to be limited to one character in the scene. For the ease of moving threads along quickly, we ask that one player take the reins in terms of writing out the actions of all characters involved in the scene. We have a channel reserved in the Discord channel limited to current thread participants to facilitate OOC discussion of who's doing what for this purpose.
9S is going to use Pod to shine a light into the enclosure with all the bone daddies so they can get a better look at their new archenemies. (Or this part of their new, larger, archenemy.)
There are three distinct shapes in the enclosure. Two of them look like used to be some kind of large feline shape, although they are cobbled together with many bones out of order, and restructured entirely in some places, held together with joints and casing made entirely of good old goop. The third shape seems to be two individual creatures compiled together, with two heads, five legs, and one and a half long, twitching tails. It had more building material than the other two to work with, so it came out considerably larger.
Four eyeless skulls turn toward the light when it shines into the enclosure, and all of them start a slow, inching progress toward the wall nearest to Plas and 9S.
Cut the lights, immediately. In the ensuing time it would take for eyes to readjust to darkness (do goopcats have eyes?) they're going to beat a retreat back from the enclosure and towards the nearest exit from this general area of the zoo. Plas will become an extremely oversized WET FLOOR sign (without shades) for 9S and Pod to hide behind.
The shuffling slows in the darkness, then stops. There's silence for a time, then small, aimless noises as they get back to their meandering business of doing nothing in particular, in no rush.

They're gonna see what the goopcats do next.

The sign will grow an arm and reach back towards the enclosure, to wave a hand in front of the glass. HELLOOOOOOO, GOOPCATS.
