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

awwww khisanth would totally throw in with the major! her wwii movie enthusiast buddy. :')

...unless she noticed that he had taken james bond AND dick hostage, then her feelings would rapidly change. :|a is there a way i can avoid having her know that, or can a double cross be made use of?

[liebe_krieg]

My vote is double cross. All the double-crossing!

[onblackwings]

uhuhuhuhu excellent. maybe she could lead the rescuers to the rescuees? OH BOY TORN BETWEEN HER HATRED OF BATWOMAN AND HER FONDNESS FOR DICK AND JAMES. major you are a dick for doing that to her.

oh damn and karkat too, MAJOR THAT IS REALLY RUDE

[liebe_krieg]

LOOK HE NEEDS HOSTAGES TO MAKE PEOPLE BEAT UP ANGIE FOR HIM OKAY GOD DON'T HATE

but leading the rescuers sounds perfect!

[onblackwings]

excellent! 8] it looks like the plan is when khisanth realizes he has them (maybe they're like held somewhere she's too big to get at, and too well-guarded if she's human?? DID YOU HAVE ANY PLANS FOR HOSTAGE-HOLDING), she drags in vic, who facilitates stuff. and possibly alerts zatanna as well to pick up her loser spy boyfriend.

Okay yes this sounds like a plan! My basic scheme for hostage-holding is that everyone's secure enough that they can't escape but free enough that they can talk to each other through the walls. But there's enough surveillance and guards there for a solo dragon rescue to be impractical, for sure.

THIS MIGHT BE A STUPID QUESTION AND IT'S POSSIBLE YOU'VE ALREADY COVERED IT SOMEWHERE I MISSED— but do the major and angie's allies already know about all this ahead of time, or should they be expressing interest on that comm post to be recruited?

[out_of_time]

Comm post! The Major's been double-crossed enough times to avoid big recruitments posts this time around.
