Case Planning

Am a baby when it comes to writing horror, wanna get in some good practice

Some points to note:

• Not all the cases will be equally creepy
• Some are fairly straightforward and clean
• Some will take a lot of effort to fix, major cases
• Some will leave the root cause unsolved and only treat the symptoms
• Some are not at all solved and are being monitored

Plot Important

A minor case

• Iris's first appearance
• Otherwise unremarkable
• Presented mostly as an observer
• The case was set up by them to see what the current Revs look like (prior to this Iris was in hiding to gather strength)

Somewhere in between here Iris attempts to talk to and convince Revs to default. Possibly successful with one or two Revs? Those are marked as lost, no one really knows what happened to them.

New Revs join here and there.

Train case

• A train with passengers on it is lost
• Eventually the train is recovered but it was Iris's plan to draw out as many Revs as possible
• Several Revs get destroyed - not as many as Iris intended, but still a lot of damage
• Iris starts being acknowledged as an urgent/immediate threat

Replacement case

• A ghost eats a Rev, feels remorse, becomes a Rev in their place
• Maybe they knew each other in life and the ghost only realised it after eating the Rev in rage
• Atoning by working to fulfil the Rev's contract wish
• Hired as an exception due to lack of members + demonstrating clarity of mind

Infiltration case

• Something shows up in the Rev base tunnels
• Bad things happen, more Revs destroyed
• One of the Revs is the culprit (working with Iris)
• Something of a locked room mystery

Actually not entirely sure what the ideal endgame is...the outlook for Revs is pretty bleak in general. Yet at the same time it doesn't make sense to have the Revs "win" and perpetuate a system that's demonstrably bad. But the ideal solution to the problem is really mundane (an alternate energy source needs to be tapped, which might take years to construct...)
