Apr. 22nd, 2022 08:00 pmOfficial timeline of Meadowlark events is here.
- So, basic premise: Characters are brought to a version of earth that's been ravaged by climate change. The setting was a blend of sci-fi/fantasy, with cyberpunk elements (futuristic tech, AIs, rampant corruption, unavoidable surveillance) and a group of gods that did everything from grant characters powers to cause chaos. Characters had were drugged and had brain implants installed upon arrival.
- Kate is part of the third wave of arrivals (July 18th, 2511). Loki is one of the first people she runs into, and the two reconcile a bit and Loki catches Kate up. Essentially, all of them have some sort of glowing force on their chest that allows them to share emotions and blocks whatever powers they have naturally. They've been brought to a safehouse by an organization called Morningstar, who's doing its best to keep them safe, but otherwise they don't know anything at all about why they're there.
- New Amsterdam quickly proves to be a very chaotic environment, and Kate does her best to alleviate that as much as possible. The city is frequently overrun by monsters and mysterious supernatural events, as well as plagued by government and corporate corruption. She also spends a lot of time trying to help new arrivals, which continue to come in waves and have to be temporarily sequestered in a safehouse.
- Kate finds herself largely adrift, with her only teammate in game being Loki. They begin to repair and then deepen their friendship, and she also grows close to Jason Todd and Damian Wayne. Eventually more of her teammates show up, too.
- She disappears in-game in October 2511, and comes back in February 2512, waking up with no explanation in her apartment. These lost four months are something that bothers her for the rest of her time in game, and she tries to dig into what happened to no avail. At this point most of the friends she's grown close to are gone, with the exception of Jason, Damian and Loki, and she's lost her apartment. She's essentially forced to start over.
- At this point, the Displaced are being worshipped, and there's more and more evidence of a solid connection to the gods of the world they've been taken to having something to do with their arrival and their powers.
- Kate moves in with Damian, who she has a sort of will-they/won't-they thing with. She finds out Jason took over a few gangs as a favor to an NPC, and both Jason and Damian have gotten themselves on the bad side of a big shot named Maeda with a ton of shady connections. She does not approve of either of these revelations.
- Being nosy as hell, Kate decides to dig into this whole Maeda thing, specifically a guy who tried to kill Damian. This gets Maeda's attention, Kate gets kidnapped, and in the course of Jason and Damian showing up to help her, Maeda cuts Damian's arm off in front of Jason and Kate. This is Traumatizing (shocking), and Kate still feels guilty about it.
- After that, Kate began to dig into corporate corruption and manipulation before she left.
