mafia attack plotting post

All right, so here's an OOC plotting post for the attack on the mafia! There's no date set for it, because I wanted to make sure it worked for whoever wanted in, but ideally it'll take place in the next week or so.

The meeting will have Albero present, along with a large number of high ranking mafia members. Mods will be NPCing Albero as needed, and may also provide any other NPCing, if people want/need other stuff. I'm assuming the other mafia members can be NPCed by players attacking them, however.

I'll set a couple of threads below for specific plotting - date discussion, those going to the meeting, and those who'd want to do something with the recordings and other information Nick has. And, of course, feel free to start your own threads.

If you want your character to participate but don't want to tag into the network post, just comment here and we can handwave them signing up or whatever! I know it's a busy time of the year for people.

UPDATE on the date of the attack and structure of the attack log here! Unless anyone has conflicts, the attack will take place on the night of Monday, December 8th.

As long as it happens at night, Lyall is there, in wolf form, looking after his guy >.> Otherwise, he's playing scout with nose and ears outside, but staying out of the actual trouble.

ETA: Actual plotting. Lyall actually hasn't done much (any?) fighting in wolf form before. He's going to find out the hard way that he doesn't actually always keep his mind, in wolf form (at least right now) as soon as he actually has to engage someone in combat. He won't go fully moon-mad, but he definitely won't remember who he is and what he's supposed to be doing, so anyone deemed threatening or dangerous is likely to get bitten, or at least snarled at. He'll need talking down to get himself back, once you don't need an angry wolf around anymore.

My only preference for date is Not A Weekend. Other than that, I'm wide open.

Okay, so I've had this plot with Raye in development for some time and I figure it's about time to pull the trigger on it.

Basically, confronting the mafia will cause Raye to finally lose control of her anger and will trigger a berserker transformation.

In effect this will turn her into a rampaging, hyper destructive monster that will attack anything even vaguely aggressive toward her with no distinction between friend or foe. Her first target will be the mob though so characters can avoid her rampage largely by staying out of her way, although collateral damage will certainly be a thing that happens.

There are loose plans in place to snap her out of this form but I figured it was best to put this up here to give people a heads up and see if anybody wanted to plot around it. Either being involved or dodging the incident completely.

L has a major axe to grind with Albero and will be available to help however he can, even if it's just keeping an eye on things from afar. As much as he would like to be there in person he's not superpowered or dumb and he won't insist on it, but he is great with recon, surveillance, tech stuff, coordination, interrogation, and even translation if stereotypical goons insist on communicating exclusively in Sicilian.

Tl;dr I don't think L would want to be on the front lines or be useful there, but he would want to help with his particular skill set as much as possible!

Emi will be doing anything she can to help, up to and including killing a few high-up bosses herself. If she can't kill Albero, she wants to see it happen.

Yay! I will throw him into Nick's open post within the next few hours; we just arrived in Florida and are getting settled, but hopefully sooner rather than later!

Welcome to the berserker club. Lyall's unfortunately gonna be doing something similar :P Maybe they can square off before they're both talked down?

NPC information!

For all your self-NPCing needs.

> Mafia goons (not the higher ups, but at this point most of the medium level mafia members are altered as well) are all altered, some of them very heavily. Have them spliced with whatever you wish - depending on their animal dna, their abilities and looks will be different. Each person can only be spliced with one animal.

> Altered mafia members are also manipulated to be very obedient to the higher ups and protect them at all costs, more so than they would normally be. This can go up to the point where they are willing human shields if a PC opens fire on a higher up/Albero.

> There is a number of women in the mafia, but men are the majority. Most have English as a native language. Some dislike the numbered, some are only opportunistic or don't care - basically, have at it and have fun!

If there are any other questions re: NPCs, please ask! We absolutely encourage people NPCing themselves.

If it's not too much I'd like to request that it start on December 6th (or later)? I'm just going to be swamped to the death straight up through Friday but I really would like to get Danny involved.

It still feels weird Saretha somehow wound up here.

But she's still of the opinion that any outright attacks upon the mafia isn't going to end well - at least not without exposing Albero first, as she thinks that will be the final nail in their Locke publicity coffin.

Still, even though she'll argue about it she's not going to outright try to fight other Numbered head-to-hand without someone's life hanging on the line (re: the Robynapping) and WOULD at least like to get any incriminating information to the FBI.

Danny will do whatever it takes to put the mafia madness to an end, short of straight up killing anyone (although boy does he kind of want to).

He can take on mafia lackeys or help in the rush to get Albero himself, wherever he's needed he's more than happy to help as long as this is the end of their mafia troubles. He'll even provide cover and help anyone who's going straight for Albero themselves--he'll do anything as long as he doesn't deal the killing blow.

Not a question, but rather a note:

I will be NPCing a Very Special altered mafia goon attacking numbered in this whole mess. They'll also be in an uncontrolled frenzy, in addition to being altered, soooo if anyone wants some extra drama in their fight, or just generally to have someone else NPC the mafia goon they're fighting, let me know! I'd be more than happy to plan an encounter or tag your characters in the fight log.

Rakka will be staying out of the way for Raye's main rampage, but she will try to step in if things take a turn for the worse.

She's probably going to die, but she'll try her best to get through to Raye that all this anger is bad for her blood pressure. :p

So Hajime is definitely going to show up to smash things as the Lord of the Bugmen, and he will be more than happy to fight whatever needs to be fought.

Torin's going to be involved, although he might be uniquely suited to questioning--he's got his love gun, and he could in theory make a mafia goon fall madly in love with any one of the Numbered, at which point they'd quite possibly respond well to questions assuming those questions were accompanied by a little batting of the eyelashes. I haven't really had him get into an actual fight transformed, so I'm very tempted to throw him in there, too. He's really very tired of this mafia stuff, and he wants to put an end to it.

Rakka, as much as she's like to fight some mafia members up close and personal, knows that she doesn't really stand a chance against most of them.

So, she'll be working on this side of the battle, looking for information, and even going out to help whoever gets caught in the crossfire of the battle. She's due for an equipment failure soon, but she's still going to try her best.

Xander will most likely either helping out with stealth (thanks shadow mimicry and being able to take one person with him) or up in the front lines due to being able to fight & being immortal. Except that he might loose himself to his sadistic and vengeful traits he echoed back. He'll try his best to not give in, but there's no promises.

Rakka better not die.

Also, blood pressure. Haha. I get it.

[personal profile] charcoalfeather 2014-11-30 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Haha. It's funny because she almost died that one time it happened.

Dies because of Raye No, she'll try her best to not die for the Dians and everyone and Raye's sake. Wont stop her from getting all up into the danger if she has to though.

Yes, good, I greatly encourage Rakka throwing herself into the path of the shrieking nightmare monstrosity smashing craters into the Earth with its bare hands. Go for it, Rakka!
