Player Plot: Going Beyond the Barrier

[raavashing]

Secret tunnel!
Through the mountain ceiling!
Secret, secret, secret, secret tunnel! Yeah!

A few weeks ago, Beast Boy told Wan about the underground garden that lays beyond the barrier that you get to through one of the tunnels that leads off from the sinkhole.

And from that, he got the idea to dig a hole in the ceiling of that cave to the surface that lays beyond the current barrier.

Digging alone will take forever and with the murder maze fresh on his mind, Wan has started to quietly ask people for help in both building a ladder (so they can reach the ceiling in the cave) and with digging the tunnel. The more characters he can get to help, the faster the digging will go. And the sooner Blue will have to find a way to punish them all horribly for trying to escape

I've been given a general time frame rundown of how fast this will take based on the number of people helping:

1 person working 1 hour per day: 4 months
2-5 people working 1 hour per day each: 3.5 months
6-10 people working 1 hour per day each: 3 months
11-15 : 2.5 months
16-20: 2 months
etc, etc, and so on and so forth.

Currently, Wan has one firm volunteer in Supertwin Conner. He's asked Conner to spread the word to those he trusts. So it's very possible Conner could hit any of his friends up and they could hit other friends up for help with the plan. And so on and so forth I like that phrase, okay.

So to get this going, we need volunteers to help dig. There's a thread for that. There's also a thread for figuring out who told the character, be it an assumed ic-grape-vine chain or arranging for it to come up in a log/thread over the next couple weeks.

I will ask that Yao Employees not sign up unless there is an IC thread logged out where they're told about it because Wan is trying to keep this from being found out by anyone that works for Yao before it's finished to avoid them sabotaging the efforts.

If they are told/find out, just drop a note in the third thread with a link to where it happened and we can arrange for potential sabotages and how they'll effect the digging.

Sorry, Cecil. But Wan will tell you about it after it's done and he can drag you to the world outside the barrier. Then it will be safe to tell you.

[havearaft]

WHY ARE YOU DIGGING IN HER PLACE OF SERENITY YOU EVIL JERKS!


oh FINE, she'll help.

[backwordscompatible]

Like she's going to let Conner have all the fun.

[braavado]

As if you could keep your reincarnation ftom this

AKA sign her up!!

[wharfs]

digging and building things, woohoo

time to be helpful

[afflictive]

Fujimaru's always down for anything that the Yao Corporation doesn't want. o7

[notrobindmt]

Roy is up for any and all escape plans, if it's okay to be involved in Cecil's as well as this one!

[aintyourdad]

Digging and building things are right within Joel's skill set. And working against Yao is always good, too! JUST DON'T RUIN HIS NICE DATE SPOT WITH TESS OMG

Re: Volunteer your characters to help here!

[bardromh]

Mu will definitely help out, he's good with physical labor.

Re: Volunteer your characters to help here!

[spiritedbow]

I'll volunteer both Riley and Bianca! They'd definitely get in on this.

Re: Volunteer your characters to help here!

[runrightround]

Wally definitely wants to help!

[hi_no_de]

OH MAN AMMY CAN DIG THROUGH SOLID ROCK 8D also, since she's a goddess, she never gets tired. she is so in it is ridiculous

[onethirdthesoul]

Ryou has no idea what's going on but HE WANTS TO HELP...DO THINGS... He might not be good at digging, but building a ladder sounds more his speed.

[chiblocker]

Ty Lee is in! ...p easy to figure out how she got...told...too. She is pretty much the only one of mine who would be super helpful, but I'll sign Sonia up for you as well. Korra would probably easily tell both of them, so...

[lockpickings]

Jack Wilder is in!

[borntochoose]

He's in. Obviously.

[memlost]

GOTTA ESCAPE AND RESCUE MOM!! also the other people

[cried]

I'll sign Lily up for this!

[memlost]

Would it be fair to say Wan told one of the Morgans about this? If not, this guy can probably catch wind of it via Korra.

[choreographics]

Dirt + digging aren't really his thing but escaping is. Ryan's in.

Re: Volunteer your characters to help here!

[browbeater]

MAKO WOULD HELP...

Figure out how they got told about it here!

[raavashing]

[wharfs]

since Motochika is kinda new here, he probably doesn't know too many people involved, and while there's a very slight possibility he'll just happen to stumble in lost and go 'lmao hey what's up' that's probably pushing it

maybe he could get dragged along by canon CR, or end up becoming friends with one of the people involved, i'm fine with anything

Sabotages!

[raavashing]

[cutlery]

Question! Sebastian would definitely be interested because he's such a helpful guy, but he does work for Yao. There's only a very small handful of characters that know this at all, since he's been very quiet about it and has had Yao be very quiet about it as well as a part of his contract, haha.

That said, Sebastian wouldn't exactly sabotage the effort, or at least not right away! His loyalty is very flexible at the moment, since he's still trying to determine which side is the winning side, so he'd probably pass along the information if prompted to, but wouldn't make an active effort to do so.

So basically, would Sebastian helping out be something you'd be interested in? It could lead to sabotage later, but certainly not immediately!

[raavashing]

Two things to keep in mind:

1. Wan is actively asking people not to tell known yao employees about this (for obvious reasons).

2. Wan doesn't know Sebastian at all.


So he'd have to be told through the grape vine by someone that does trust him and doesn't know he works for yao (or does and doesn't care). But if that does happen, and he decides to help, that's fine! I don't mind at all.

[devourer]

mo demon questions

Neuro wouldn't necessarily want to get his hands dirty helping out directly / compromise his identity, but he would be interested in at least observing what's happening. He has eyes and ears around the city (sort of literally) that help him pick up information. Would it be okay for him to have knowledge of this via eavesdropping in this manner? He might show up to help in later months if he becomes convinced it's a good use of his time.

[raavashing]

Yes. That is absolutely fine!
