tushanshu_ooc | Team ASS/Malicant Investigations With Your Pal Iorveth/Post Palace Raid Chat

OKAY, so, to get everyone ICly caught up with everyone else and have characters start brainstorming what to do with the information they've found, I'm going to be putting up a log for a meet up discussion at the same burned out village that they met at during the first meet up. This one is going to sort of be a free for all, tag whoever you want whenever you want, kind of thing as opposed to the before, after and during threads from last time. So just sort of free discussion.

OOCly, we can use this plot post to brain up what we'd like that to decide on doing. There's going to be a few things Iorveth brings up here. Firstly, the journal that was found in the palace, secondly, the lantern found in the palace (for this one, Marius, Enjolras, Damian and Zel - would they have moved the lantern at all? i'm not sure if you guys talked out what to do about it), and thirdly, Vanessa's knowledge/suspicions about the cloning facilities.

Mainly Iorveth will want to talk about the possible solution to defeating Malicant referenced in the journal, but he'll want to talk about if the lantern is connected to it, and talk about how it's sounding like Eshai is using their actual souls as a light to keep Malicant at bay, and how that might work into the solution too :|a

SO. LETS TALK ABOUT THIS SHIT.

And once I get the log written up, I'll edit a link to it right hurr.

Una just wants to ... do things. And she also wants to make some effort toward a comprehensive collection of all the things everyone has learned everywhere about the Story So Far. Right now she feels like there's a lot of disparate information in many different hands, and she'd like it collated somehow.

lmao yeah iorveth wants to DO THINGS too :'| as big of a believer in planning as he is, he's getting realy anxious with malicant actually around here. it'll be difficult for them to do things with meta plot on hold so ill need to ask the mods, but we can see if they can go collecting arms and training up people or whatever :|a or go beat up guard for info idk 8'D

the comprehensive information would be awesome! As an ooc thing i was thinking of setting up something with where we found stuff, the source it came from, and how it adds up to other stuff. i think i started a gdoc for that at one point, actually 8|a but like an ic effort towards it would be cool, to have something people can review (or go to someone to get the review from, as writing stuff down iorveth will be paranoid about) OH HERE I FOUND IT so they might help to keep organization re: the investigation team and what they're working on/with?

I'd definitely be up on having Una be part of the IC info-gathering effort. As well as, you know, armaments and stuff. And beating up guards.

I might see about having her make a trip through time at some point, too, maybe late in October or early November.

I think that if they got through the chains, thus destroying the protection against it, hmm. I think Damian would have urged them to take away the lantern. Because while the Palace is shielded, too, letting the lantern inside it might release whatever those chains were binding within the palace, and that can be bad. Very bad.

He'd have suggested that they conceal (and guard) the lantern as far away from the turtle's head (and vitals) as possible, and that can lead to a plot to put a team together to make new bindings for the damned thing.

But.

But!

That is a lot of ifs.

But should we say that they've taken away the Lantern, I'll be putting in request for plot (because this might be a bit... complicated?) to get the thing secured.

Thoughts? Comments? Remarks? Slaps on my wrist?

Zel would be of two minds of taking the lantern, since it's obviously holding something dangerous. Basically, he'd want to be convinced they can move it safely without letting out whatever it's holding (or getting caught). While he doesn't trust the Emperor, she is currently the lesser of two evils when it comes to Malicant, and he doesn't understand enough of the magic binding it to know what's to keep threats away and what's actually containing any Sealed Evil in a Can.

He would have copied as much as the writing as he could, but given the amount, the size and detail, and the fact Zel is still kedan-illiterate, it will probably be incomplete. (A camera would have been nice... did someone who knows tech bring one?)

... yeah, Damian's mask is equipped with recording equipment, and he has additional filming stuff. (And he has gotten to learn kedan, if the wrings are in kedanese.

just an fyi you guys, the writing on the lanterns is not kedan, but was like the writing on the arches in sinberwhatever. so they wouldnt be able to read it, but recording it would still be really helpful. itll give them soemthing else to work towards translating/figuring out

Yes, okay, I thought not, but am still too jetlagged (ugh I should have come out of it already) to be sure! Thank you very much!

I guess bittybat is studying another language now.

HELLO! marius would be pretty iffy about taking the lantern but if all the rest decides to take it he'll just be like "k woteva" :3

Future plot shenanigans are cool too! Marius would suggest picking up a team of linguists to study the writings tbh, because ~language~ and stuff

Yes hello! :D

Once they get the full sensation of how bad the Lantern feels once the chains have been cut, Damian will not be insistent on taking it out. Because at that point, both options are perilous.

But word from the mods is that the lantern cannot be bound without various powered characters working together, and I sort of suspect that won't happen if they leave the Lantern in the Palace.

Ooh hi!

Basically, I'm cool with whatever option tends to be the consensus. As far as character reactions go, Enj would have been all for taking it out and probably had to be convinced by the others that it was a bad idea if they didn't do that. He was still in his 'fuck the emperor and fuck danger and fuck Malicant, he can't do anything to me AGAIN' phase so...

If anybody on the team wants to BE the one who convinced him it was a bad idea, I can totally see this making for awkward moments down the line or if we decide we took it, feel free to tell him that you told him so later on? :D

So, Sabriel currently has a journal that she, Una, and Amon found in the library, and has made copies what she could understand of it- except for the magic equations. (Malicant's name is not written down though.)

She's going to want to do research into whose bindings, it's talking about (the kedan's?), as well as if anyone who's magically inclined wants to work with her on it. (And if characters are normal humans but want to be involved, well, she can give them magic.) Also, try to find out if Bysaliat is the kedan homeworld.

next audience we have with eshai, iorveth will be bugging her about it, the bysaliat thing, and hopefully he won't get arrested for obviously being in on the raid oops 8'D but other than that, we can talk to the mods on what they might learn about it if they start digging around? idk how much we can reasonably due while we're on meta plot hiatus, but i'll ask them about it

also, iorveth would def be wanting to really help her out and get her anything she needs to investigate the binding shit on this :T

I want to say a helpful thing but I'm still "HMMM"ing about what can actually be doing in a doing sort of way. The use of souls thing hits close to home here for Dorian but he lacks the means to learn anything more about the situation with it. And he's not going to easily volunteer that via his portrait, they have a very visible way of testing how things would work with the soul—certainly not unless someone put forward a plan where they would need that.

lol yeah that's my issue mainly. i mean they can talk abot a lot of stuff but can't actually DO anything as things stand. I think I'm going to try to pp the mods and see what we can feasibly have them do in the mean time, even if it's like dead ends or something, you know, just something they can DO
