Possessing Asti/Malicant Plot Update!

[raavashing]

Anyone who wants in on this is still totally welcome!

I just got the IC Logs up for both getting info/making plans (here) and the actual possession attempt (here).

Once a few IC specifics are hammered out, the possession attempt log will be updated to no longer be a place holder. Mostly we have to figure out the actual location of the possession attempt and how many places people will be attempting distractions for Malicant at so that those can be accounted for and reacted to. Probably by cultists and Malicant himself, if any response is given at all.

The original plotting post is here if you missed it or want to talk with others OOCly about getting your character in on this. :)

OOC INFO ON DISTRACTING THE CULTISTS

[royalguard_style]

Okay, there's been some OOC confusion about how the distraction's being handled, so I'm clarfying here:

The distraction part is the open part of the plot. Anyone's free to join in, though known civilian may have to do a bit of begging/lying. Characters will briefed on the current mission, then encouraged to form groups on their own volition and make the biggest scene they can. The teams should be big enough to attract attention, but small enough that they can cover the city. The whole thing will be managed in a very lassie-faire manner, partially to give players and characters the freedom to do what they want and partially because Dante is an awful coordinator.

TL;DR do whatever you want, and please ask any questions here.

Thank you for clarifying. I didn't realize that was confusing people. I apologize.

[royalguard_style]

Oh no, it's as much my fault as it was yours. Dante's the one who ended up coordinating it IC, and you had enough to do with the main part of the plot. I should have stepped up more, and for that I apologize.

[raavashing]

Thank you for that, but you really don't have to apologize. I feel like I just let it fall on you without asking if that was cool. I shouldn't have done that. This was my player plot and I really should have been more clear. You're great for having stepped up to help at all and I really appreciate it.

I'd like Enj involved in distraction if possible. I wasn't sure what, of the current things applied to his abilities, since he has nothing magical to work with. He DOES have some minor skills from working at the hospital and a light healing spell from the last landfall, so he could help with mild injuries as well.

Re: OOC INFO ON DISTRACTING THE CULTISTS

That's honestly a great idea. Like I said, I'll leave it up to you, but Enj should definitely set up a first aid station somewhere safe. There's also going to be an on-console distraction, which I think someone else is coordinating. But it's also open to everyone, as far as I know.

Awesome! First aid station can certainly happen. If any other healers are around, it would probably be a good idea to pull them in!

[ruinsprofessor]

Oh. Oh, hello, Raine can help with that if you like, she'll be more help there than any other distraction options.

[solo_patria]

Ooh definitely! She's got a lot more healing ability too, so Enj could potentially assist her/work on less serious cases as they come in?

[ruinsprofessor]

That should work out I think. Sounds like a good plan, at any rate! :D Logistically... hm. open header in case people want to tag by with random injuries, I suppose? How do you want to go about things?

also while setting up a first aid station should theoretically be in a safe spot, there's always room for things to go wrong somehow if you like?

[solo_patria]

Things going wrong sound like fun. Enj has a protection device from Tony that he could potentially use to get away too, so trying that out might be fun. Open header seems like a good idea. People to help OR injured could tag in, maybe?

[ruinsprofessor]

Who doesn't love things going wrong. :P All of the above sound shiny!

[solo_patria]

Excellent! This will be fun! It'd be kind of neat to have them overwhelmed and forced to decide whether to heal or retreat or something.

[ruinsprofessor]

Always a fun decision to have to make, yeah. c: Excellent. I'm looking forward to this.

[raavashing]

idk if you were planning on having Raine hit the Midnight Hotel at the end of the day for the possession log, but if you are so inclined, wan is looking for her here.

[ruinsprofessor]

I was indeed. Thank you! I'll toss her there once I've had coffee.
