Loyalty and ADAPTABILITY group coordination!

[evocalize]

Alright, the issue of the Loyalty and Adaptability groups being stuck in one way or another was brought up on Plurk so I thought I'd make a plotting post to get things sorted out. There will be two threads to post in and figure out where we want things to go, and I've provided a summary of the issues so that we know what's going on.

Loyalty:

The outcome of this one is dependent on whether the prisoners escape or stay, and as no more than five people have escaped it's up in the air whether all the wardens are supposed to have died or not. There was also something discussed about a group effort in breaking free, but I'll let someone in the know explain this. All the prisoners except the one that escaped died, and all the wardens except the one tied to the escaped prisoners died too.

Adaptability:

There's an OOC deadline of 28th of November, 7 pm EST and only twenty people are allowed to pass, but as of present time only two people have officially died and we're nowhere close to even clearing the second stage. A number of people have been inactive as well which bloats the total count.

With that being said, let's plot! Do inform your friends of this if they're in either of those groups.

Update: The time limit no longer applies and characters will get the passed or defective tattoo depending on whether they clear Stage Three or not! That being said, the IC announcement remains the same so carry on, Haven's murderous ones. /o/

I've been trying to coordinate a group escape effort forwarded by Masaomi Kida. The idea is that Masaomi and one or two people he recruits will stage a big, bloody fight in the cell to draw in the more concerned wardens. Once the cell door is open and the wardens have their attention focused on the fight, other prisoners can force their way out of the cell from the other direction in a quick burst.

So far, Lenalee is a very likely candidate for concerned warden! Others are fine too. Mu and Izumo are attempting to get Shiemi out of the cell first. (Though I think Mu's mun would be interested in Mu dying or at least not getting out, yes/no?) I'm still hoping for characters who'd agree to be part of the distraction fight, but if more prisoners want to escape/wardens want to end up dead/etc. that would be great too.

I decided yesterday that even if I don't get other volunteers for the distraction fight, I'll post the thread for the escape tomorrow. Now that this plotting post is up, I might hold back a day or two though.

I'm not expecting Masaomi himself to escape. He'll drag out his distraction as long as possible to keep as many wardens away from the prisoners trying to escape as he can. If any wardens would be interested in beating him into submission/killing him/whatever works! I'd appreciate that too.

If anyone's interested in any part of this, feel free to reply here!

[tamer]

just chiming in to say izumo is going to be making an effort to STAY OUT OF THINGS. her only concern here is making sure shiemi is kept safe. (yeah, that hopeful THIRD OPTION flew out the window the more time continued to pass.) if kida doesn't get his fight, she promised to do what she needed to do just to make sure shiemi is kept safe.

even if it means smacking him across the face to get some wardens' attention.

:')

[bootstomp]

yes lenalee can definitely open the cell door unless anyone else is interested in doing that?? it'd be great to have more than one warden involved if only because lenalee would be more likely to open the door knowing that she has back up but /o/

[gandere]

From my understanding, we've got a little bit of prisoner vs warden drama going on with these plans. I'm not sure who all is dying, but I can say that Rin as a Warden will be getting killed by accident :T

So that's one down!

Re: Loyalty

[backwordscompatible]

I'm not sure I ever had any set plans for this event, tbh, and was mostly going with what played out in the thread.

However, I was definitely leaning towards Zatanna getting killed at some point, because lbr no way she was going to end up using that gun they gave her. She'd tried to defend herself, yes, but the fact that she wouldn't go in for the kill would be her ultimate outdoing.

That, and the fact that she very subtly took pity on some of the prisoners.

So...yeah.

STAGE TWO - POISONED FLAGS

[expiatrice]

Yi (Eugeo-mun) and I have been talking, and Ciel and Eugeo are well-placed to help a good part because 1. they can make dispensable clones and 2. both have already witnessed friends die from the poison, so they're... PRETTY AWARE. The clones can spread warning too, Ciel can upkeep at least two to tell others as well.

THAT SAID while both are physically fit and trained for combat even without their old powers, they're not superhuman so the lake flag and those several hundred feet up are going to be problems. TELEKINETIC PEOPLE, and others! Anyone willing to pitch in? It'll at least move everyone closer to stage three, haha. Since no one would even have IC knowledge of stage 3, if stage 2 isn't cleared by the time the deadline rolls in.

[heartofahawk]

WAH i keep meaning to hop my butt into that log and i will DO IT SOON I SWEAR however that said reyson is going to die in the third round so feel free to add him to the count as well. he is legit like physically incapable of actually bring harm to others and killing so he will make the Noble Sacrifice and allow himself to be killed

IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER TO BE THE ONE TO AXE HIM PLEASE LET ME KNOW id rahter not have to handwave but ALAS!!

...now in the right place, d'oh

[miyamura]

miyamura is definitely going to die after he touches one of the flags! :) so that's four~!

[memorability]

i woud love for xion to die somewhere along the line, though i've currently got no idea how it'll happen. i'm up for anything, really, haha. but i guess that's probably another person added to the death count at some point?

[mikangirl]

I can see Nami getting past stages one and two but she'd absolutely refuse to kill other people in stage 3. She might defend herself, that's about it. I mean what kind of assholes get you to kill each other for their amusement /shakes fist insert rant here

So basically, I think then that she'd die in round three and you can consider her amongst the dead. Whether someone in particular wants to murder her or she gets taken out by collateral damage, I am open to plotting for this \o/

[persuadebyforce]

LINE UP HERE FOR A KILLING OPTION IN BATTLE ROYALE

Laharl has no qualms going a little nuts during the royale, since hey, people don't die when they're killed, what's the big deal? RPG logic.

If you want to have your character force choked, insides crushed, head popped, punched or kicked clear across the arena, or perhaps just telekineticly have a knife thrown in their noggin' feel free to ask!!1 I'm going to make a top level in the royale for him tomorrow to get that ball rolling since I'm pretty sure the flags will be covered?

he's basically got a sort of immortality during this too so think of him as an easy option for it if you want one

he'll be totally casually about it if they meet after this as well, which might make for some awkward cr

BATTLE ROYALE

[evocalize]

So, Minato would normally let himself get killed in stage 3 since he's that type of self-sacrificing person- the only problem is that he's currently possessed by a Noah that allows him to selectively interact with things, and said Noah also hates humans. And obviously Minato has been pissing him off by avoiding people so that he won't wind up killing someone, not knowing that stage three is all about killing people. Which the Noah really wants to do.

Oops.

Because the number of characters that would rather be killed is really high compared to the number of characters that would actually kill, I thought I'd offer to kill off some characters too! Here's a full list of what the Noah (Joyd) can do:

1) Bursts of Dark Matter. Anyone hit by this will get their skin covered by pentacles before their bodies solidify and break. Notably, Joyd can also reinforce his punches with Dark Matter.
2) 'Choose'. Essentially, Joyd can choose what to interact with and this applies even to attacks; if he doesn't want it to go through him it won't unless it's an Innocence.
3) 'Reject'. Joyd can also reject what is in his path, which means he can manipulate pressure to cause blasts and he can also suffocate his opponents. If you don't want your character to suffer any scars and still die, this is a viable option since he just takes pleasure in killing humans and seeing them freak out.

And in terms of CR, you can definitely expect Minato to come apologizing afterwards so there's that. Clearly this is how S.Links upgrade in Haven!

Edit: Also open to being killed, but only by selected people (Hi Ciel, Allen).

Re: Adaptability

[expendablepride]

RE: Stage Two

Alvin's got the power to heal any injury. Any injury, even if they're on the brink of death, provided he remains in contact with the individual for long enough. If you're looking for your character to survive stage two and head into three, I can have him heal your character up? Just point me in the right direction, since I'd like for him to... actually be of some use haha...

RE: Stage Three

I'm not too fussed about whether Alvin lives or dies. There are circumstances as to why he won't want to kill people, but he might either have someone kill him, or off himself if the numbers need smoothing out, because hey, they'll all be back, right? IDK I'M DEFINITELY OPEN TO THIS.

EDIT: Scratch that Stage Three stuff. I figure that since Alvin's ability is strictly healing, and he's not going to be doing any killing himself, I'll be killing him off in stage two instead!

Flags +2

[everwalking]

Tyki and Allen are going to compete to get flags, whereupon at least one of them will be poisoned. I posed a question to Blue about whether Madoka's gloves would protect Allen from the poison but I haven't received a confirmation yet. Assuming they do, Allen will attempt to save Tyki, but it's up to Desh whether or not Tyki dies, and if Desh is okay either way, I'll probably RNG to determine whether or not Allen bungles his way to healing him.

But hypothetically, they will have had two flags, it's just taking a little while to get there. I'm about to tag Desh back now.

During the battle royale, Allen will probably get killed trying to stop Minato from asploding.

Re: Adaptability

[nosenobounds]

I am not completely sure how Usopp would/will get through the first two stages, but then again he's pretty lucky. Stage 3 is his coming downfall though-- much like Nami, he'll be leaning to defense only because ANIME SPEECHES. So yes, count him among the deceased. I'm really slow right now with my tagging for holiday purposes but I'm up for plotting!

[sharpeyedshooter]

FLAGS Shino can get one! And hopefully be healed (by Alvin!) after the fact because it's going to drop her pretty fast otherwise, ha.

BATTLE ROYALE Assuming Shino makes it through the flags portion, I am A-OK with her being killed, although she won't go down willingly and will also be attempting to protect her friends to the best of her ability. She'll probably be able to explode minds with her power at this point, so if anyone with attackers wants to go down this way before she herself is killed, I'd be up for that! Mutual kills are also fine by me.

Oooooor we can just say they got her before she could get it quite to headsplosion levels, too. I'm up for anything!

[sixfaced]

junko should die for the better of mankind!! so basically she's up to get killed and to kill, since she's a very destructive and toxic kind of person, stabbing people or accidentally zapping them won't be a problem on her mind. hell I can even see her new found powers being her downfall at the last moment, too.

in terms of when she'll die proobably stage two/three if she doesn't in two. I'm up for her trying to sabotage the efforts to retrieve a flag or getting one herself and refusing to be healed. if I have some time after doing some classwork today I can probably get around to make an open for that?! if there's anyone up to deal with this primadonna.

stage three provided she does survive stage two YEAH HA HA she'll be willing to kill. she may be a tough cookie to crack since 1) it's junko and 2) she can turn invisible and go through solid objects, ectoplasmic blasts, levitation and horrendously horrific wails that can break a million things. of course her threat level literally depends on if she can be assed to concentrate on doing any of these things, so both an easy and hard target.

I'm basically cool to plot/plan for anything!♡

[defriends]

Setz will likely survive Stage Two because a certain teammate of his is more likely to go and touch the flags DAMN IT MIYAMURA and so make it to Stage Three!

Setz won't attacked unprovoked, but may be willing to kill if it's to protect someone he knows which is pretty much just Ciel or Miyamura, if both survive to Stage Three. With that said, I'm also cool with him dying, especially as he's enough of a doormat that he might just let himself die if it's to help someone else live, whoops.

Re: Adaptability

[swordedpast]

Stage Two
Archer has flight, so he'd be willing to grab some of the high-up flags--but he wants to survive to keep protecting people, so first he'd try to look for a healer that he could go to afterwards.

Stage Three
He'd handle this as ruthlessly as possible, trying to quickly swoop down on and slit the throats of people. Flight (and the knife) is his only power, though, and he's not a very skilled fighter without his powers despite being an experienced one, so it's possible he could be taken out!

[exterminator]

I'm fine for eren dying!! he's really only going to kill someone if he has actual incentive to...if push came to shove and it was someone he didn't like, he'd most likely kill them.

as far as stage two goes, he's probably capable of getting poisoned from a flag out of his own recklessness if need be!!

for stage three, eren would have extreme difficulty killing anyone who's innocent, but for anyone that he deems atrocious or """vermin"" in his words, he'd have no problem trying to off them. with his reckless attitude he's really vulnerable to getting killed from going after someone way stronger than he is!?! eren'll literally jump into a fight with anyone so long as he has incentive, so he's up for getting killed there, or, killing someone. so i guess he's both willing to kill and not??

it can really go in whatever direction so it's up in the air!!
