Snake-crashin' at Elian Price's!

[massivescale]

Hello and a heads-up to participants in the farmhouse assault meeting log dated for today (January 25th)!

The snake statues are about to enter - as warned by Sophie, there will be five of them, each one to have its own new thread in the log in which to confront it. Feel free to plan your groups and course of combat/defense to this post!

Also know that, if your character has not yet encountered animate snake statues since David Proud was captured, they are eligible to receive their plot Echo from doing so through this log.

Okay, so Ivy is in the upstairs party and she'll probably try to help get people out of the house and maybe whack at snakes with her purse and her vampire magical girl strength. She hasn't had a plot echo for the snake statues before this, so I'm gonna see if she can get back vampire magical girl healing back.

Curry Family snake escaping action? 8D

[pokebonnet]

That sounds great! I'll just follow you to whichever snake thread you want to be in and tag in after you, possibly in the morning because I am exhaust.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Jasmine is my only horse in this race, and I'm still trying to figure out her echo, but she's gonna be tearing into things in an attempt to save her sister. If anyone wants to team up with her on that (and Ken, if you're reading this, I kinda need you for it XD), I'd be more than welcome to working with you.

[peacefulwinter]

Winter is heading down as well, and she'll be more than happy to join Jasmine for a little creative violence.

[tenaciousc]

I am the latest to this party, sorry for the inconvenience. Michelle has basically nothing useful for this situation so she'll be getting the hell out of dodge! Uh... she has a car, if anyone wants a ride out of dodge?

[gogoghostpowers]

Danny might coordinate with her--he's trying to pull defenseless/injured people out of the fight, so Michelle could drive them away (or to the clinic, if needed)?

Update!

[tenaciousc]

It might not be in an ideal place (hence my putting a note here) but she's asking for people who want to leave here.

[epimethean]

WHEATLEY is at the meeting sort of hanging back. He will try to help out! But he is kind of a huge liability. Please let me know if anyone wants a huge liability.

[tenaciousc]

Does he need someone to drag his huge liabilitass out of there at some point?

[wonk]

roxy is going to stick around and shoot the snakes with her laser gun.

she is also going to die.

she will come back to life, but anyone who wants to be traumatized by her impending demise is welcome to witness the event in all its sordid glory.

[gogoghostpowers]

I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE DANNY BE THERE TO SEE THIS he would be extremely dismayed by it, even if they're not like ~best friends~ or anything

and as soon as she comes back to life danny is going to absolutely assume that she is now ghost like he is. Because hey, dying but not being dead and intangibility? Obviously she's a ghost now too.

[fusionjack]

Isaka here is going to be 1) panicking more than a bit and 2) making an effort to help get defenseless sorts to safety. (He doesn't fully classify himself as a "defenseless sort" even though, comparatively, he really should be.)

He hasn't gotten a snake-echo yet, so I'll be putting in for his green Undead blood. Which would be pretty interesting to find out about by actually getting hurt during this, eh?

I FORGOT I WAS IN THIS LOG

CHRIS HAS HER LASERS AND ROCKET FEET AS USUAL

Ravi was at the meeting and not doing much talking but doing a whole lot of listening and he totally caught the parts about 1) the snake statues exploding when they're killed, and 2) the fact that they're apparently here to protect Proud.

Which means that if they're defeated here they're probably taking out the whole neighbourhood, which means that they need to somehow get the snakes somewhere they won't cause any damage by exploding, which means they need to get Proud somewhere the snakes won't cause any damage by exploding.

So Ravi's plan is basically to kidnap Proud, drag him out somewhere away from civilization (like, idk, the mines or something??) and threaten the shit out of his personal well-being. (that ruthlessness regain might actually be useful for something!!) This is in the hopes of luring the snakes after Proud so that they can be killed and exploded somewhere they won't cause any harm.

MODS IS THIS OKAY CAN WE DO THIS?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Offering Marisa to explode the first one with a Master Spark!

[gogoghostpowers]

Commenting here for formality's sake to say that Danny agrees to help get Proud out of the house and keep people safe during any explosions that may follow.

[titansno]

Rachel will be down to assist, and possibly help explode snakes.

[healspec]

Update, mods have confirmed it's cool! Ravi will be kidnapping Proud and driving him out to the mines to hopefully lure the snakes out there!

I don't want to ruin anybody's fun; I'm assuming the snakes aren't going to follow until Proud is actually being threatened out at the mines, which would give everyone time to get their fight on. And maybe even explode a snake at the house if you want to???? Whatever man it's cool w/me!

[paradiseshrinemaiden]

Can Reimu help explode snakes too? I need an opportunity to use the spell card she just echoed back.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Willing to help with whatever is needed, and the Cures are around Marisa so knowing something is going down wouldn't be hard.

But is there going to be any way for the fighting groups to know what's going on? What's to stop Winter from just dropping their snake into an ice cube (when if they knew the plan, moving the battle elsewhere would probably be seen as ideal?)

[titansno]

Rachel is...probably going to try to contain the snakes. She's getting her full telekinesis back, and coupled with her mental constructs she can probably corral them pretty well. Assuming this doesn't step on anyone's plans, of course.

Cain is getting back a totally not at all villainous transformation, so he might be a decent hand in a fight against the snakes.

[wirsinddiejager]

Alan was called on the scene by Octavia and will be attempting to use the gun she handed to him. He probably won't be able to do much damage to the snakes, but he can provide some measure of protection and/or distraction by creating a literal meat shield?

[waltharius]

Walter is there and also has one of the guns Octavia brought. And surprisingly, he can actually hit things with it! But it's just a gun, so the best thing he can offer is distraction. He can be smacked around without getting horribly damaged, although it will definitely hurt in the morning. I'm up for having him actually save someone this time, or just knock him around some, it's all good.

Echo-wise? He's getting a goddamn horse, but I don't see it turning up immediately. Too much chaos already.

PROUDNAPPING

[healspec]

Alright so after working this out with the mods and several interested parties, here is mostly-finalized plan:

• Ravi realizes they need to get Proud out of there if they don't want the snakes exploding in Elian's basement
• Alex attempts to hypnotize Proud to calm him down but gets knocked out before he can succeed
• Ravi enlists the help of Danny and Kotetsu to get Proud out of the basement
• A 6th snake shows up to defend Proud
• The snake never reaches Proud, but will have to be distracted so Ravi & co can get to him (this allows for the event to break into 2 simultaneously running threads)
• After the snake is out of the way, Danny phases Ravi/Kotetsu/Proud/Alex out onto the lawn so they can get to Ravi's car
• Precures fighting on the lawn will be informed that Ravi & co are luring the snakes away, and to make sure nobody destroys the snakes before then because they will explode
• Ravi drives out to the mines and threatens Proud to draw the snakes
• Marisa & Reimu provide an aerial strike to take out the snakes, Danny intangibles everyone on the ground to protect them from the explosion
• Success!

KEY THINGS TO NOTE REGARDING THIS PLAN:

• There will be 2 new threads for this, one for the 6th snake and one for the Proudnapping
• Proudnapping thread will be restricted to characters mentioned here
• Thread for the 6th snake will be open to anybody who has not already engaged one of the snakes
• The process of cutting through the chaos to get to Proud, getting the snake out of the way, and getting Proud out of the basement will take long enough that it won't cut anybody else's threads short when the snakes stop fighting to follow Proud
• Proud is going to be squirming his way out of Danny's protective intangibility at the last second which means Proud is dead by the end of all this
