HELLO SAVE THE EARTH I HAVE A FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS

[strikeraid]

FIRST! I have realized that I kind of play the kind of unpleasant douchebag that isn't fun to tag with sometimes (BETTER LATE THAN NEVER HAHAHA SOBBING), so I've made an opt-out post on Skyler's journal. I'm sorry about its belatedness! There are more details on the post itself, so please feel free to read and use it at your discretion!

click me for the thing

SECOND! If you would like to go in the total opposite direction and have your character meet Skyler face-to-face, as he is a cybernetic Blood Key member, he will give your character an echo if they haven't met a Blood Key yet. Just a heads up! I'll remind individual people if I tag into any open posts.

THANK YOU FOR READING!!

Think this guy's set for his echo, depending on mod input, however.

One good jerk deserves another jerk granted of a different flavor, so I vote these guys meet.

[strikeraid]

Sounds interesting to me! ouo Did you have a context or did you want to just run them into each other and see what happens? I'm planning on throwing up a general open post for Skyler pretty soon, and I'm pretty sure I'll have one flavor for those who just want to run into him while he's out and about (maybe I'll backdate it so he's Christmas shopping with his little sister, or maybe that could be one of a few options?) and another flavor when he's in his Blood Key get-up (sunglasses and a hood so he doesn't get recognized UuU).

[ex_elude798]

Didn't have anything specific in mind, but do have a post coming up so a run-in set before that time'd be best. Suzaku's going to sustain some injuries, which'll actually be due to Blood Key interaction, because I'm a kind player like that. Christmas may be easiest if you go that way, or they can talk over the network, depending on what works best in both of our cases.

[strikeraid]

UuU I see the post, and I understand what you mean! I'll go ahead and make that post with plenty of wiggle room so you can put Suzaku in however you'd like :D

[ex_elude798]

Awesome, I'll look forward to seeing how these two get along...or don't, as the case may be. Lobbing jerk-types at each other is pretty hilarious.

[strikeraid]

the log's up! have at any option you like!

[ex_elude798]

Aw yeah awesome! Suzaku's hitting him up...literally.

[spellfire]

CASUALLY HANGS OUT ON THIS POST WITH HER FELLOW BLOOD KEY

[strikeraid]

Hey Hellbird
I'm pretty tired of the Network winning all these small battles
what say we make 'em lose a war UuU

[spellfire]

yes good

[strikeraid]

I HAVE A FEW THINGS I WANT TO DISCUSS WITH YOU I'M SORRY I'VE JUST BEEN COLLECTING SHIT:

- ABOUT GENERAL BLOOD KEY STUFF: Do you think that they would go out hunting a lot in the same squad? Would they have a lot of opportunity to split into smaller groups/groups of one to cover ground and find more victims?
- STAYING ~UNDERCOVER~: I've been talking to a few muns and all of them seem pretty okay with these two keeping their identity under wraps for the moment! For the moment, I'm running on the assumption that all of these encounters are going to end with them getting away with the Blood Key-ness scot free, but is there any way we could give some members reason to suspect stuff and maybe get the ball moving on a plot, or should we keep that on the backburner for now?
- DANNY FENTON WHY: This is a little farther into the future, but I've already got plans with Danny's mun to have Danny possess Skyler, which means he's DEFINITELY going to learn about the Blood Key thing at some point. We're thinking about throwing that into next year, but is this something that could be all right? I won't have Skyler go around blowing Helene's cover and that will definitely not happen without your permission, but Danny's mun had a really awful GREAT IDEA for Danny to possess Skyler and go to a Blood Key meeting, meaning that Helene would probably be there. JUST RUNNING THIS BY YOU TO SEE IF YOU HAVE IDEAS

OK THAT'S IT I'M PRETTY SURE!! please get back to me if you have ideas on stuff! I won't make plans to reveal stuff or advance the plot without you no worries UuU

[spellfire]

OKAY BEAR IN MIND I'M NOT BLOOD KEY BOSS OR ANYTHING 8D;;;;;;;;;;;

-Yes on both! I imagine that the way that Helene runs her squad is taking turns going with one or two members at a time, and rotating who she goes with as time goes on.

-I'm totes cool with slow suspicion. B) Helene's staying away from video to avoid the sunglasses thing, but if her voice is recognized it's ~recognized~. Same could be said w/ Skyler!

-OH MAN THAT SOUNDS AWESOME LET'S DO IT OUO

[strikeraid]

YEAH I'M SORRY LMAO Id ont mean to dump this all on you at the same time but I've been making a hell of a lot of plans and I never got around to make sure it was all ok! I know it's a whole lot but I know neither of us are in charge of the Blood Key stuff so none of it has to do with the metaplot really!! It's just subplotty stuff that has to do with staying under cover, and I want to make sure they stay sneaky for as long as we think it's fun UuU

- YEAH COOL that makes one of these threads possible aw ye

- YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!!

- AWESOME COOL I WILL GO AHEAD AND MAKE PLANS WITH DANNY and i'll try to get back to you on that when i can!!

Rita and Skyler encountering each other should be a thing. Juvie delinquents... More likely fight each other, sadly, given the 'Blood Key' issue.

[strikeraid]

So you want him as a Blood Key? Super! I do want to keep his identity as a Blood Key kind of under wraps at the moment, but that will definitely change down the line. If she encounters him while he's Blood Keyed up, he'll have sunglasses and a hoodie and possibly a bandanna over his nose and mouth if necessary, but we can proceed from a different assumption if you've got something interesting in mind!

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

That would definitely work, either after he's revealed, or he and her encountering each other without her finding his identity. Force a fight, move to a standstill, retreat~

[strikeraid]

I'm actually going to stick up an open post with him pretty soon (I DIDN'T REALIZE THERE WAS A DEMAND FOR HIM), so I can contact you when it goes up so you don't miss it! I'll have a general section up for Blood Key encounters, but I can write up a specific section for her to encounter him one on one if you like!

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

That'd probably be best, so that they can face off and both leave, rather than Britany getting herself kidnapped and turned or something. (Though that could be fun too...)

[strikeraid]

Nah, their goal is stealing and robbing, not kidnapping! At least, I'm pretty sure that's the protocol here! :D One solo encounter with Skyler-as-a-Key coming right up!

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Let's do it.

[strikeraid]

it's up! ~u~

[dead_black_eyes]

I would LOVE it if L met Skyler.

[strikeraid]

oooooh lord it's a DAMN good thing killian put in a good word for L or Skyler would not be an incredibly decent individual towards him! That being said, sure, I'm down. I'm going to put up a catch-all post for him pretty soon, if you'd like to tag him into that! :D There should be several flavors of Skyler to choose from, so take your pick!

[dead_black_eyes]

Sorry about the late response! I will definitely tag into his post, as I saw that just went up. ^_^

[gunhearted]

i am in favor of every possible anxiey-producing interaction possible between these two, if you are interested.

[strikeraid]

EVERY form? Oooh do not even tempt me with absolutes like that my friend. OuO On a much more serious note, as much as I really appreciate your enthusiasm, I do like planning these kinds of relationships a little before diving in - if Jacuzzi's going to be a little more than the victim of the week to Skyler, I want to make sure I don't cross any lines. (I get, uh, zealous if I don't put some limits on myself.) If you can approve of everything on Skyler's rap sheet, that's a really great start, and if you'd like him to be around for something you have in mind in particular, please don't hesitate to let me know!
