Plot Post for Malicant Investigation Team!

[aenseidhe]

YO, THIS IS JEN 83

OKAY SO REMEMBER THAT BOTCHED POST IORVETH MADE ABOUT 'THERE SOME SHIT THAT WILL KILL US' AFTER WHICH HE PROCEEDED TO BE A PARANOID DOUCHEBAG TO EVERYONE?

Well, there was a decent sized group of people he let know about what the Emperor told him - people he thought would be useful to a secretive kind of investigation given that he didn't want the Emperor or the kedan or anyone else to really be aware it was happening - considering Malicant can be anyone and also the Emperor is super suspicious 8TTT ANYWHO, SO THOSE PEOPLE HE TALKED TO ABOUT IT - I HAVE A PLOTTY THING.

Given that Iorveth sort of naturally leads units of people in his canon, he'd likely get immediately cracking on this and try to organize people to assist with it. He's super concerned about this and wants to figure out how to defeat this thing like yesterday, so he'll probably want to call up the people he spoke to (or write them letters because eff the network 8T), and try to figure out how they're going to do this. Especially now that he's hearing from Fenris that the turtle told him last time Malicant posed as a rebellion leader - and any of the authority figures in Keeliai could be Malicant. THE ENEMY COULD ALREADY BE AMONG US 8TTTTTTT So, so paranoid tbh.

I wanted to get an idea for who all would like to be involved in investigation, now and in the future of the game to try to uncover info on what they're facing. I've spoken to the mods and we've talked over the possibility of some people ninjaing into the Palace and snooping around in restricted area and maybe finding some clues within there, so would anyone be up for that?

LET ME KNOW, GUYS. Also, if you want to be in on this and didn't manage to get Iorveth to open up, contact me at Wuzzafuzzle on AIM or Plurk, or shoot me a pmm or leave a comment on thisb post, and I can tryyyyyy to work with you on it? Honestly it's, sob, really difficult to get stuff from him, but I can help try to find an IC way for us to do it. It's moooost likely that you'll have to have been around for the initial post he made about it, because otherwise, he will not be saying shit about it in public. Maybe if you're new we can see if your character could have heard from someone else that he has info on the big bad they're facing?

ALSO, FAIR WARNING: THERE COULD BE ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES OR IMPACT ON THE GAME FOR SOME THINGS, BUT IDK I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE WHEN THEY CROP UP.

Alrighty, talk to me :V

Dorian knows Iorveth knows, he just . . . let Una get the information for him and waited for her to pass it on. Because that was way more fun. I AM NOT SURE HOW HE COULD GET IN. I would like him to though! He's invested in this. If he in any way heard it through the grapevine he'd possibly seek Iorveth out?

Actual skillset: he's already gotten lost in done unpermitted explorinatin' in the palace before, which I guess is helpful. Oh and if anything tries to kill them all you can toss him to it as replenish-able bait, hey.

[una_persson]

FWIW, Una would tell Dorian if stuff was going down, so that's an option for expediting his involvement if desired.

[depicted]

Thank you very much! If we could work with that, that would be wonderful.

[una_persson]

She can also help sell his involvement to Iorveth as "he's been in the palace before, could be useful".

[depicted]

Una, you're the best.

[stagethreeclinger]

we can work something out! sob there will be insta suspicion because he's racist against humans, but he is a fan of una so if he speak to him about it then that'll work out better :Oa

[depicted]

Will Iorveth like him better if he gets his vampire bff to temporarily turn him into a vampire for the adventures? ...Because he usually has him do that anyway, hell yes vampire superstrength.

[stagethreeclinger]

sobbing not so much, he hates demons and vampire would fall into that for him ;;;;;;;;; is he a friend of alcuin's also, tho? alcuin is a good friend for iorveth

[depicted]

IORVETH IS THERE ANYONE YOU DON'T HATE

He is! Not a good friend but he's on good terms with Alcuin. ...I think. Unless Alcuin secretly hates him. Dorian likes Alcuin, anyway.

[stagethreeclinger]

LMFAO VERY VERY VERY FEW :'DDDD THIS IS WHY HE WAS THE WORST TO GET THIS INFO, SCREECH

Hmmm :|a mebbe that could help too, but it should be fine with Una's help. So long as he's convinced Dorian can be useful and good at keeping secrets and not tattle on him when he does like 5 million illegal things

[depicted]

we can just hand Iorveth the The Picture of Dorian Gray "no he's good at keeping secrets and not telling people about criminal things, trust us" of course that would then give a very different kind of bad impression perhaps

BUT VERY GOOD. If that is possible, I would be all for that! If it cannot be worked out because Iorveth Hates ALL The People I understand and that's cool too!

[stagethreeclinger]

SOB NO NOT REALLY :'DDD

But yeah, it can totally work, no worries! He's more concerned about fighting the big bad than his racism rn :'|||

[depicted]

Thank you so very much!

[stagethreeclinger]

No thank yoooou!

[aenseidhe]

Alrighty, there's a log up riiight here if you'd like to send Dorian there to chat with him :3 and feel free to do a group thread with Una coming by to vouch for him? idk how you guys want to work that out :O

[depicted]

Yay! Okay, Karin says the plan works for her and Dorian can mention Una and she can show up when Dramatically Appropriate? (exact words)

[una_persson]

IIRC, Una described him (without naming him) to Iorveth as "someone who understands the value of a secret".

[depicted]

Aw, Una. Very true indeed.

Minus the time he shared everyone's secrets with Oscar Wilde for publication.

[epigrammatical]

Yes well apart from that...
