How do you feel about fictional countries lately?

[latveria]

Hey all!

Remember all those newsposts about Sue Storm's awesome synthetic skin discovery? Well, uhh. Here's something to go along with that.

Over the past few months, Doom has been steadily replacing several key UN officials, as well as their staff with very fancy, very convincing Doombots. Unfortunately, there's a slight flaw with the way the skin affixes to the metal used in his Cityverse Doombots. As such, this week one hapless secretary type will see her bosses face literally fall off, and Doom's plot will have a chance of getting out. I've already contacted people involved in the City Hall cast about things for this, but if anybody else wants to maybe get an inkling to Doom's plot before hand, let me know.

This will unfortunately accelerate Doom's timeline (he wanted several more months of planning, but you know, sometimes things just happen) such that from September 15-17th, he will be taking over the entire UN Building, as well as a few blocks of the surrounding area in the name of New Latveria. He will declare it an official annex of a country that doesn't exist until such time as the said fictional country is granted full UN privileges and voting rights for its delegation (which consists of him. Funny how that works.) As a note (and because I like maps), I've highlighted the rough area he'll be taking over here. It's not huge, but enough to screw over a section of the 7 train, and a very populated section of Midtown.

So what can you guys do about it? Well, Doom's plan isn't perfect. He was building it on a longer timeline and that kind of got messed up. As such, there are ways for hero-type characters to get in and take him down. There's also hostages to be rescued! All of those UN officials (literally all of them, and their staff) are being kept in the building. Those replaced by Doombots are also in the building, just trapped in a secret sub-basement under robotic guard or something equally terrifying. Also, I am totally open for some big damn hero killing Doom at the end of this. Please, be my guest. He doesn't really know the strength of his magic here and needs something to really bring it home to him.

Any questions? Comments? Concerns? I'll be happy to hear them. Otherwise, there will be a newspost announcing the takeover very very early morning on the 15th, and a log going up that will be set for late afternoon on the 17th as it gets closer. But yeah questions. Come at me, bro.

dammit victor

[latveria]

To be fair, she was warned.

[viced]

Oh Mitch's old stomping grounds ;a;

would you like him in on this anywhere? c:

[latveria]

He is welcome to comment on the events! Or go out for some superheroing, if he likes!

But actually, April is the one who will be intercepting that secretary. Maybe he could hear about it after the fact?

[retconman]

The things Max misses when he's out of the country. He likes the UN, dammit.

[latveria]

Please. Like he's never attacked the UN before.

[retconman]

He fixed it afterward!!

[undeadsidekick]

Doom is fixing the world, okay.

[newbvampire]

Oh yeah, hostage rescue! I definitely want Seras to involved with that. Plus hey robots she can rip apart without any guilt!

[latveria]

That is the advantage to robots! Is there any particular way she'd be going about the rescue? Or is it more of a rush in and save all the people kind of thing?

[newbvampire]

It depends on what you would like to see. She is a SWAT team member so she could round up the ESU cops and do it in a totally proper way, or just bust in and rip the robos apart in a blur. Whatever works best for you.

[latveria]

I'm actually completely cool with either. Imagine the police might want to block off that section of town just incase unsuspecting tourists want to snap a photo of the UN building and end up facing off with a Doombot or something terrible. But other than that, I have no firm plans. So maybe a little of column a, and a little of b?

[newbvampire]

I think I can do that. Have the cops lock down the area and then Seras goes busting in while they keep up the pretenses of negotiations?

[undeadsidekick]

That totally works for me!

[newbvampire]

Awesome!

[ioudas]

damn doom, you need to get laid.

[latveria]

Yeah, that's unlikely to happen. Doom is married to science and the betterment of the Latverian people.

So uh. Have fun with that. :/

[ioudas]

B| maybe this is the problem

[magicalworld]

Mordin is very upset that he inadvertently helped make this happen Victor and by upset I mean he will be helping to thwart this

[latveria]

He and Susan can form a support group. And really, Doom kind of vaguely feels ways about doubly crossing intelligent if naive people. It's just necessary to achieve his vision.

Mordin would probably know the most, after Susan, about the way the Doombots function and the differences between them and the actual people left in the UN building. Would he be interested in passing along that kind of information to others in the rescue party? I just envision total chaos when trying to identify which officials are Doombots and which are human if someone doesn't at least know how to look for them.

[heal_or_execute]

That sounds perfect for Mordin. When people enter the building he'll calibrate his omni-tool to detect the stuff he was helping work on, and play 'detect-the-terminator.'

[tattling]

If Doom is doing shit, Franklin is going to want to fuck that shit up. :|

Also punch him in his stupid nose.

[disintegrator]

If Franklin goes, Katie will likely follow to at least help with hostages/crowd control/backup.

[latveria]

That's okay. Franklin is the once child of Susan's that Doom has no real qualms with brutally murdering. Or sending to hell. Or both.

And his nose is not stupid.

[tattling]

at the same time -- WHATEVER, MR DOOM, this time Franklin has his powers. You just wait and see how you like your pizza full of anchovies (I have to think of better examples of reality alteration).
