A Wild Event has Appeared!

[evowhisperer]

 Heeeey, StE-ers, who wants to talk about how the mafia has gotten info on over a dozen Numbered over the past seven weeks? I sure do. Let's talk consequences!

 

This here will be a plotting and questions post for things happening over the next two weeks: do you want the mafia to strike at your character in any way? They could do anything from just trying to scare them to trying to ruin their livelihood. They could even do nothing at all, and just bide their time until later! (Everything here is totally optional.)

 

Meanwhile, how did the mafia know any of this? That there sure is a mystery. Someone from the Network must have leaked! Here's the place to plot possible investigations and ask questions.

Have at it!

I love both these ideas. (Eriks is in with the group with Tieria and etc right. There's no new thread I need to be tagging?)

Hey Cesar

Cesar make friends with cops and stuff

Watch the guillotine lowering slowly towards you and try to throw them off your trail, while also hearing whatever you can about the actual effects of your totally cruel and heartless actions

[featherduster]

(HE TOTALLY IS, expect a tag from me under that one you already wrote 'w'b)

Look I don't see how this plan can possible backfire

So maybe people have life-rending crises of morality or have to worry about getting arrested and thrown in prison forever, but that's just growing up.

(Cesar mun, different account)

(Sweeet o7 I'll check in regularly!)

Of course it won't, what are you saying

Yes exactly, that's how all of this works!

PLOT UPDATE

[evowhisperer]

OKAY everyone it's time for some conclusions. We have roughly four people looking to get vandalisms, and four for assaults. I'm expecting a lot of this to probably be NPC'd or done offscreen. For those of you that are doing that, feel free to cut loose with it now. For those of you that aren't, tag here and we can start coordinating with ourselves and the mods over getting you guys someone to NPC the mafia enforcers for you.

Here is what the mods say about the enforcers out to scare/do damage to people:

"They can be NPCed - the members will be mostly one purely human leader and one to three modified enforcers. Their victims will receive some kind of warning that this town belongs to Albero or "the family" or something along those lines."

Then, in a recent message:

"In my original message, I noted that groups consist of one regular human leader and one to three enforcers - I'll clarify here to say they've been modified with the abilities of a leopard. There won't be any Bloody Keys involved in these incidents, it will be entirely humans and modified humans. The leopard abilities will manifest in: speed, jumping and climbing abilities in combination with above-human strength. They'll be difficult opponents, armed with knives and in some situations sledgehammers and at least one gun per group, but not invincible. It'll depend on the character, but most should be able to get some hits in. These groups aren't looking to kill or mortally injure anyone, though if someone wants a broken arm or something that'd be okay.

"If anyone would like an NPC encounter, that's fine, I'll arrange for it! If they don't, that's fine, too."

Questions, comments, cheers? Have at all of them, that's why I'm here.

FYI, I've just posted a comment that has the latest info for what we're doing. Everything is now GO for getting posts rolling! Fire off your vandalisms and assaults at will.

Details here.

.... sob... Yeah, that'd be heart breaking. I see your icon smiling, though. Are you planning to break our hearts with that being what the mafia does? 8( because if so, damn.

It definitely would be. Actually, that icon is more of a pained smile. I'm not sure how'll I go about it yet, but I'll have to think about it more.

Thanks for the heads up on that. Although, not sure if Xander is included on the assault front that's happening or not.

Go for it. It sounds like either way, Shou is going to be an extremely formidable player against the mafia in the end. I look forward to these fireworks.

[evowhisperer]

It sounds like you have plenty of things already on the kettle, but if you were thinking of still doing anything with this particular span of vandalisms, I'm giving everyone the green light to go ahead and start making them happen! (Details are in a comment at the bottom of this post.)

[evowhisperer]

FYI, if you were thinking of doing any roughing-up or vandalism related to this particular plotting post, I'm giving everyone the green light to go ahead and get roughed up by mafia enforcers! Details at the bottom of this post.

[evowhisperer]

FYI, I'm giving all the future victims in this plotting post the green light to go ahead and start making posts and the like for vandalisms and stuff, so be on the lookout, Mr FBI guy, it's starting!

[evowhisperer]

Fair enough to all of that. Cesar looks like he's in a position where her plans don't directly intersect iwth him, but I bet with enough time and opportunistic watchfulness we can definitely have their goals intermesh quite nicely. Heck, with Cesar's (ahem) growing appreciation for science, he may take advantage of the fact that she's looking into getting reincarnates stronger, and ride that current so that he can study the newly improved and strengthened echoes in her wake.

On a vandalism/assault plot note: everyone getting the green light to go ahead and make posts! Be watchful, mr fbi guy, because people are going to start getting hit. :)

[seriallylucky]

I've got no problem with offscreening, but one thing I'd like to know for the after-stuff: would the mafia people start hitting harder if they know their target can self-heal?

[squicksilver]

ok good! we'll go with option #2 then!

Re: PLOT UPDATE

[ursoreckless]

Fffffffff

if Shou gets jumped, he has speed, strength and crazy mad agility on top of gun-fu so they will have to work for it, but I believe that some family property is going to get trashed, right? But also we are looking at them testing him and bringing him over to the mob-side, that cna start too.

Which means.... will need to post soon.

[evowhisperer]

(Sneaking in for a bit just to say that Xander is on my assault list! also you can change at any time, though I figure you're still game for assault. :) )

[dominateartimus]

I definitely am, I just wanted to double check. Thanks again.

[dominateartimus]

Since I volunteered Xander for assault, I'm fine with either logging it out or hand-waving.

Although, he won't stand much of a chance against three modified people. He does have his shadow mimicry he could use to try and get the upper hand on people, but he doesn't have any additional strength or endurance to assist him with that. Aside from that, he can summon a knife or a flame from his fingertips, heal himself (or others) of minor injuries and broken bones. It's all right if he sustains a couple of deep injuries since he has a 'second skin' that will act as a temporary bandage to stop him from bleeding out -- unless he accidentally consumes one of the modified being's blood which will cause a 'filtering' system to take over and render Xander helpless.

[evowhisperer]

Okay, now for a complete reply: Go ahead and think about the details of what you'll be doing, and I'll be sitting over here iwth popcorn to see the final results. |D

No prob <3 Go nuts!

Re: PLOT UPDATE

[evowhisperer]

Go for any and all of what you're into. Yeah, though, start soon, because the easy window for all of this to really happen is this week and next!
