Wargames Signups and Organization

[liebe_krieg]

Continuing preparations for this plot, this post is for sorting who is doing what this weekend beyond general monster fighting or assisting Cityzens (no sign-ups necessary for ass-kicking!). For the log itself, there will be three main threads, one for each night, and subthreads within the threads for playing out particular scenes- vampires vs. monsters vs. heroes on the first night or Major + hostages on the second, for instance. Let us know if you want a particular thread posted! In all cases monsters will be under your own control during fights; neither Maddie or I will be directly puppeting the NPCs. Let me or Maddie know if there are any questions!

Allied with the Major:
- Peacock
- Khisanth
-

Allied with the Doctor:
- Xanatos (discreetly)
-
-


Taken hostage by the Major:
- James Bond
- Alastair
- Dick
- Karkat
- Rapunzel
- Isabela
-


Tracking down the Major (techies who’ll trace the vampire’s transmissions back to the Major’s lair on the third night):
-Billy
-Tony
-Jaime
-Max
-Topher

Confronting the Major (I plan to split this thread in two, with two characters holding off the Major’s guards while the other two go for the guy himself):
-Alucard
-Bucky
-Magneto
-Seras

Hostage rescue
-Kate
-Jane
-Vic
-Khisanth [lol]

Casualties (For characters being taken out somehow. If your character is going to die, it needs to be approved on the plotting post!:
-The Major
-Doctor Einsturzen
-Joel
-Greg
-Jack Bauer [KO'd or trapped]
-

Number one: Pink would like to A) Attempt evacuations of the MAC/elsewhere, getting noncombatants to safety. And B) Quietly ally with the Major in whatever fashion he'd be able to, preferably in trade for partial immunity or lowered priority of Blue Sky Foundation vehicles. (Though, honestly, if that's not feasible, he'd give him a sneaky little hand no matter what.)

Thoughts/ideas/consequences? Possibly a sub thread for evac efforts?
(Obviously, at the best, protection from the Major's forces wouldn't protect them from Angie's critters, and might at worst make them more valuable targets.)


Number two: Billy might be very useful, for tracking down the Major. His power is hearing radio transmissions in his head, so if there's a lot of extra radio chatter floating around the city, he'll be able to hear it, though he wouldn't be able to help track it down. He might be useful as the first step in that process, though...

Considering the Major's strategy revolves around using innocent people as leverage, the main thing he'd probably want from Pink is for those Blue Sky vehicles to tragically fall right into his lap. But threads for evacuation sound good! Important work for the noncombatants to do.

I'll put Billy on the techie list, because the Major's troops are so wired there will definitely be enough traffic to pique his attention. He can clue in others who in turn can trace the location, I think.

Hah, you know, he'd consider it. Briefly. (And more than briefly, if one transport would get the rest of them off...) But I think the only people he dislikes enough to do that to would all be combatants. He'll still give it a shot, ICly! And go about doing not-horrible things, for the rest of everything. Heh.

And that would be perfect for Billy. Thanks!

This will be fascinating to see which way he jumps, and how far.

I'm definitely looking forward to it! He's for a definite set of priorities, but as for how he decides to try and see them through... It'll be a defining character sort of moment for him, I'm certain. :D
