Good evening, Save the Earth!

We have a couple of announcements tonight, with some notes on regular applications to go up tomorrow:

PLAYER PLOT SUGGESTIONS PAGE & NPC APPLICATIONS

As we announced in the last round of announcements, we are implementing a new system for players who want to run a player plot including NPCs - characters who exist for the run of the plot, not as a regular, full character. This is now live. There is an example included for your perusal on the page, but if you have questions, feel free to ask!

CAR TAKEDOWN CHOICES

The characters chosen for the Locke City Car Final Takedown are as follows:

Arthur York
Shou Chinen
Aaron Harding
Nick Angell
Anais Temple

Feel free to plot in this post, or in the plot post. A log - with a thread for this takedown - will go up tomorrow during the day.

Okay, so. Shou is a really reckless driver - ie he has no idea the brake should be used often. He also can wire a group of headsets to communicate with various people in how the heck to get the monster car away from other people. If anyone rides with him, they'll get to play with his guns and his bombs and be on the receiving end of very bad Engrish.

And what else needs to be done... let's throw ideas out there!

Nick's main contribution will be his totally untested ability to move the earth. So he can create fissures and probably raise bits of ground a little bit too. He'll probably need to be stationed on the street for this.

Okay, so Shou would definitely give him a Bluetooth thingy so they can keep in contact. He'll probably see if they can create ways to force the car away from more populated places to spots that they can use a lot more force on the car. After all, can't pipe bomb the car if there are too many people around.

Okay, so these five will have to meet up somehow first to coordinate, idk if we wanna handwave that. But he'd definitely try to set up things to force it into a certain area, so I think what he does depends on what the rest of the group's needs will be for that! Causing detours, trapping it somewhere, maybe making the ground swallow the remains to be safe unless people wanna study it or something, stuff like that.

Yup. It's going to need a bunch of plotting going on before the big chase.

Also who can be eyes above? Or someone want to use one of the Chris' drones Shou still has? He's go a few in good working order because he does not want to get rid of them. Would need someone to monitor the feed and give directions until they can get on it's tail.

Signing up kei to be with Shou!

Pretend this is keis account

:P
fine kei fine
shou will probably tell him to go on a roof and spot them or send someone on the roof because they might need that

Anais' powers are basically "make shit stop moving" and "oh look an invisible wall." I mentioned in the other post that she'd either try to immobilize it to be taken out by other people, or total it with her barrier spell.

IDK what you guys would like to do with this.

Hmm, since the thing is pretty hard to stop and destroy would it be possible that her powers can be held for when they get to a safer area? Let when they hit a less populated place or something? Because I figured that they would need to destroy it and you can't really be chucking bombs at it without getting someone else hurt.

So like herd it to a quieter section and then hold it still and blow it up?

Sure? But Anais' powers are literally incapable of hurting anyone and wouldn't it make more sense to stop it before it can go on more of a rampage throughout a busier area?

Ahaha, what I meant is that using the walls and the rock movements to turn the car away from busier sections and direct it towards a place like... warehouses of factories or some place where people aren't going to be around.

Then the car can be stopped in place for them to finish it off.

That's going to cause... a lot of destruction.

I figure that no matter what there's going to be a lot of destruction. The car is going to cause it, they will cause it trying to get it away from people, and I'm not sure exactly how they can set things up otherwise.

Is there a way to do so? Do we have other kinds of abilities to throw in here? Shou's are mostly very human skills like the guns, the at the height of human speed and strength and he's got gangleader ideas. Anais has make stuff stop moving and invisible walls. There is Nick's let's move the earth thing too.

Shou also has five of Chris' drones from when she was in his place that can also be used to help narrow locations down but they aren't combative.

We haven't heard from the other two involved yet. Maybe we can all check in with what we have to offer and what we'd like out of this before we make any concrete plans? I'm pretty sure Arthur's player wants him in the car at some point, but I can't be certain.

Yup yup! I'm just wanting to have ideas and see where we go with what people can bring to the board and how to use it because I am so not sure what canon everyone is coming from and their echoes :3

Sorry, I was half asleep when I hit this up last night. (Two hours in two days is not a brilliant idea.) Whatever you want to do i guess.

Pfft it's okay! :3 I'm just super excited and all keysmashing and everything because whee a plot

also I will be at work later on this evening so hoping to have an idea of what's happening with everyone so i can post to things when i get off work

He can move stuff back but...yeah it's going to look pretty bad at first ah ha ha. But I also think his would be more noticeable as a detour. Invisible stuff sounds good for trapping it at the end though!

Oh, so smooth the cracks over to make them go buh-bye? that would be useful too.

Yep, the first time he does it in canon the ground opens, swallows some monsters, and then closes like nothing happened. Concrete will probably still be cracked but...it's a city, that's normal. Or maybe he can apologize to all the taxpayers on the network later...

Shou will probably get a lot of taxes taken out of his stuff for all this.

Oops.

Arthur's going to take a swing at trying to slow it down from behind the wheel before the interior starts attacking him. Then, he's going to opt to grab a motorcycle that has unfortunately been separated from its driver in order to chase it and slow it down by getting it to spin out.

HI SHOU

Hello there you really are a reckless person too aren't you?

anyways, I was thinking that everyone will be getting bluetooth thingies so they can talk to each other and have a way to coordinate this whole herding thing going on since I can't imagine everyone wants to be in a crazy ride.

I mentioned this towards the end of the last plotting post but Evan here is going to try and lead his own attempt to stop the car monster, which will end in spectacular failure and I hope hilarity. Anyone will be free to join, whether or not you've got powers or anything (Evan sure doesn't!) and this is generally going to be just for fun!

So far we've got Evan and Alex (Kusnitz). Anyone else in?

HELL YEAH

now that i know danny's not gonna be doing anything heroic with that car, I'm totally down for him getting into stupid shenanigans with it instead.

~~Three makes it officially a team!~~ Excellent.

Ahhh! I'm sorry I'm late, but... seeing the car should hopefully be giving the robot his vehicle mode back. So... he could chase the car, or help do so, to wherever was needed.

Round it up and drive it like a rampaging cow!

i'm sorry i'm really tired I don't know if that makes sense.

will he be able to communicate with the others while in vehicle mode? I was thinking that the team can have like bluetooth or something in case they're all split up.

also having two cars to act like sheep dogs might be workable as well, especially with the earth moving and walls making of the other two.

Yes! They can. Even if it's limited to shouting or something like that. Or putting a bluetooth thing in his glove compartment.

That sounds like a good plan, actually! I'm down for it.

Okay Shou will probably do that after a moment of wait you're a car?

Sure! I'm waiting on echo approval now, but that sounds fine!

okay!

It dawned on me that after Nick has likely rearranged roads and then put them back, he'll probably be really exhausted and not able to get home by himself in the near future. Would anybody be willing to give him a hand?

Shou might end up destroying his car - thankfully this one is not his expensive Lamborghini - but he can pay for cab fare if need be

That would be lovely, thanks!
