Plotto times!

I'm just prefacing this with: Zelos is an asshole.

Moving on! On Sunday, Dec 1st Zelos is going to be announcing a few things at a party being held for Starlit Stage members, sponsors and the media. Which I think rules out most PCs being there, but I don't know if you really want your character to be there hit me up. His announcement is going to be as follows:

1) Starlit Stage and Starling-Chandler School are throwing a charity benefit to help those displaced by the recent bombing of the Dead District. It'll be in the form of a public show where ticket prices will be whatever audience members care to share for those in need. The show itself is going to run Dec 14th-26th.
2) The sponsor for this benefit is Thundercorp who will kindly be lending the PR offices in their HQ
3) This benefit will be Zelos's last show meaning it is going to be a Big Deal around town. He is stepping down from the stage to take over his father's massive global hotel business.
4) As the new head of said business he is looking forward to a close working relationship with Thundercorp from now on and he believes they can make a difference in Locke City so he's asking the public to lend Thundercorp their support.

: All of this will hit the internet the night of December 1st and be covered by major news outlets over the course of December 2nd. Zelos himself is probably not going to throw up a post on the network about it unless people sound like they want his head on a stick or something.

This leads me to like three different plots here that it would be awesome for people to get in on and I'd love to hear suggestions/improvements/volunteers/idk stuff.



INFORMATION GATHERING
Zelos is working with Luci ([personal profile] ladyofluminosity) on getting some insider intel. Luci's player is going to have a plot post up later with more about that, but everyone in her intelligence group is already in on all this (which I think is the mission control group from the TT expedition, Banagher, Naomi, the Luteces, the Doctor and Brittany). Things we already have on the table to do:

-Tap phones and set up a surveillance network
-Zelos specifically is going to give the Thundercorp employees sketchy behavior that suggest he might Know Things because he wants to see who reports it back to higher ups/security/the police/questionable places. His ultimate goal is to find some Thundercorp employees who are in on things at least a little bit so the NC can search their houses and see what they can pull up.
-Search computers/files/question employees on the sly to get more information about Thundercorp

: Other things I was thinking of was maybe hacking Thundercorp's computers, but Zelos and Luci don't really know that much about computers. So if you're in on Luci's information network and have some ideas for Things You'd Like To See Happen (up to and including sneaking people into the Thundercorp building to do shady things) drop a comment and we will plot this out!

Alternatively if you are NOT in on Luci's intelligence group and want to be in on all this, drop a comment and we will find a way to work you in. Also for everyone in general: we have a list of things to look into, but if you have any specific topics you want investigated/your character wants answers to list them here and we'll see what can be found out! Just keep in mind this is about Thundercorp, not the police, so we probably won't find out whether Sherman is a boxers or briefs kind of guy.



INCREASED DANGER
On December 2nd Ray ([personal profile] synonymouswithdookie) is going to give Zelos's name to Sherman per that deal they cut in interrogation. It's going to be mighty hard to just arrest Zelos now that he's some big wig so he'll be fairly safe from kidnapping and interrogation unlike most other people. Unbeknownst to everyone even Sherman Zelos has been secretly reaching out to Sherman on his own though.

From December 1st onwards if your character discusses plans for action against Thundercorp/the police on the network or Zelos catches wind of it somehow he may tip the police off.

Anyone who's played Tales of Symphonia knows he's the laziest doublecrosser ever, but for those who haven't basically he won't hand over names. What he WILL do is say where the NC are going to be. So if a group decides they're going to raid Thundercorp's warehouses on December 10th he might tell the police that a group of Numbered will be showing up at the warehouses on the 10th and the Numbered might find opposition or a trap waiting for them.

Zelos isn't looking to get anyone killed and he's going to continue accompanying on all possible missions himself. So how he gives information to the police is going to depend on what he thinks the group going can handle. Essentially he might tell the police days before hand or he might tell them twenty minutes before the Numbered meet up or even after they're already mission in progress. He'll also try to help out in mission planning to keep the NC protected (e.g. suggest they split into two groups on a mission and then tell Sherman there's going to be only one group). So don't feel your character has to get caught/hurt/stuff, Zelos is going to do his best to keep the NC and the police evenly matched.

Zelos won't be tipping off every mission, but if you specifically don't want a mission to be leaked or if you specifically do want one to be, PM me or PP me at [plurk.com profile] mintchocolatechip. I'd prefer Zelos didn't get found out at least for December, but I'm not going to act like he screams TRUSTWORTHY either so if you feel he does or says something that makes your character suspicious hit me up and we will work something out.



GETTING INTO TUNING TOWERS'S BASEMENT
Who is tired of this goddamn buzzing? Zelos is tired of this buzzing. And he just wants to know what the hell they can possibly be keeping down there. So to that end he is going to be working to find a way down there. Later in the month he'll throw up a post about it if no one else beats him to it (probably around the 10th depending on how my schedule plays out). What I'm looking for here right now though is a list of characters who would be interested and ideas for how they could possibly do this since some plans might need a lot of IC preliminary work and some might be a everyone gets together one night and bam kind of thing.

Ideas I have for getting into TT so far are:
-Bust in through the wall of the basement underneath TT.

-We emulate a Mission Impossible movie. Tracking down building blueprints, hacking the security network, possibly mindcontrolling and/or mindreading TT employees to get information about the obstacles to the basement and have any necessary keys/access cards/etc left in places the NC can pick them up, making up a distraction to get the police out of the way, insert other stuff people could help out with using their awesome powers and break in after probably a month of preparing and shenanigans.

-Alexander ([personal profile] amberhearted) can assist with hypnosis

-Jeffrey ([personal profile] saiyanscholar) can get the TT blueprints

-Octavia ([personal profile] drama8om8) can assist with mind control powers and as a police distraction


: Anything anyone has I'll list up here, it doesn't have to be a complete idea. If you just want to offer up an ability or scenario you'd like to use for your character without having any actual plan that's cool too we can piece it all together like a jigsaw puzzle.

Best worst traitor ever, big bro.

And I keep on flopping over whether or not Karl might/could get involved with the basement thing. He would probably want to help, but he might not be able to. 8|a /PONDERS THIS SOME MORE

/brb goes to storm TC SOLO!! ahaha ty ty I love my crack Kratos icons~

Ooo yeah he definitely could manage that, granted he would probably hand them off to someone else or even Zelos if Zelos knows who he is by then. STILL UNSURE ABOUT WHO TO SIDE WITH SO IDENTITY IS STAYING SECRET.
flamberge: (faith -- you're my hope)

[personal profile] flamberge 2013-11-30 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Ooo yes, I like that! Maybe we can have them meet up like the 8th and Karl can give the info to Zelos like the day after.

Haha so much irony. But yes please Zelos, help the indecisive butt make a choice about which side to be on!!
