Pandemonium Planning

[stringmods]

Make note that this is NOT the major mod post that will be posted up tonight. Rather it is a planning post for the Pandemonium Log. As it is posted at the bottom, we highly suggest you form teams and go out in the city either helping repair the electrical powers, saving civilians, going to see what is happening in the affected sectors you were warned about....or just taking part of the chaos.

It is entirely up to you what you do. There are no set limits and we will reply as needed depending on your actions. There can different open threads doing different things, but what needs to be done is to save a city that is in current chaos.

We encourage creative thinking and planning here. You do NOT have to log everything if you don't have time, simply replying here on what your character would be doing and we can adjust accordingly.

Good luck!

If you have questions that aren't planning related, feel free to ask them here!

Re: Q&A

[resipiscent]

If characters are gone on the 18th for the Pokemon plot, they won't be here for this, right?

Planning

[tyrantball]

Okay so. Desco here is going to be flying around saving as many people as possible, making sure that everyone she saves knows that she is 'Queen Desco, ruler of Hinoto-Ri!' She'll basically be crashing threads at random, as long as they're fight threads.

As for my other characters: Kotoha is in her homeworld currently, so she won't be part of this. Sarah is currently a kid and will probably not be much use, which isn't to say she won't be doing anything - given the setting she's from, this is actually a depressingly normal occurrence for her. She'll be gathering up as many other kids as she can and herding them somewhere defensible.

EDIT because I don't pay enough attention to dates. Sarah will be in full-on Combat Mode, roaming around the city blasting things.

[terminally_clever]

For the sake of giving her something to do during all of this, I'm going to say that the child curse has run its course on Fumi by the time the worst of the chaos hits. And since this is really more background stuff rather than something that needs to be threaded out specifically, she's going to be alternately at JP's headquarters and the MAGI building attempting to get the power grid and the networks back up and running.

Planning

[ding_bots_are_done]

Agatha is grabbing her most powerful death ray, a couple of dingbots and some of her tools and heading straight for the magi building. If they're having giant fireballs over there, then that's the best place to investigate.


And Castle Heterodyne generates it's own power, so it should still be okay. If the situation gets bad enough, Agatha may allow people to stay there a while.

Plotting

[badluckhealer]

The Sheridan kid here will be grown back up for this, and she is a healer by default. She'll be trying to go around healing as many people as she can.

...but.

She's also learning very quickly that a certain somebody was actually right when he said that passiveness is just going to get you killed and there are a lot of healers as it is. She's got easy access to sharp knives because you need those for cooking, and her Persona does have Agi.

So I guess what I'm saying is if you want Aggie to try to save your character instead of healing them up after the fact, gimme a holler, please! Because she is going to be trying to do so.

[tyrantball]

...oh hey this actually does take place on the last day of the event, huh.

Okay then I think maybe I will have Sarah be grown back up because I really want to do some fight threads with her.

Plotting

[samurai_flynn]

Flynn can help with saving people from demon hordes, he will also explore the source of the chaos once he feels that enough civilians are safe from demons.

[dontcallmeerky]

Maugris has been feeling vaguely unhelpful lately (until the big rush of events I was planning on having him actually say something to that effect). But a city in crisis is something he's got experience dealing with (even if it gives him flashbacks). He may make an attempt to get things organized and direct people toward tasks, probably somewhere near Pisces district. How long he's at this depends on how successful he is (i.e. if anybody listens to him). Once he thinks things are underway and/or realizes nobody much is listening to him, he's likely to head for the MAGI building or the Research Facility depending on who he can get working with him, if anyone. (He may or may not be under the impression that the show is actually being run out of the MAGI building.) He's likely to be attempting to take a leadership role in general... at least until he conks out at dawn, and after he wakes up again at sunset.

Erk will probably be trying to fight demons or heal injured people (that's what he has a staff for, after all). If someone points the idea out to him he may go in the direction of the power plant and try and restart things by pumping a Bolting into it, but he isn't entirely likely to stumble on it on his own. He could probably end up just about anywhere.

Plotting

[all_wound_up]

Nano is freshly outfitted with a keyblade, her Ultimate Persona, and a new Velvet Room Persona, so she is going to be out in the thick of it, fighting demons and trying her best to protect and save people. Given the circumstances, she'll probably be running into a lot of high level Heartless, so anybody else who can deal with those is free to piggyback on her post.

Her Personas are mostly outfitted for defense, so she'll be seeking out both people who can't fight for themselves as well as people who look like they can use some combat support. What combat potential her Personas do possess tends to be focused around the Light element, so she'll mostly be looking for demons that are weak to that.

[stringmods]

That's right. Sorry for the rough return guys!

[angryyoungvamp]

Also, couple random ideas, mostly for Maugris -

- He's probably mostly going to be relying on his Persona, but it's entirely possible he'll run low on blood if he starts using his actual magic extensively (or having to heal himself). Either someone will need to be willing to be a juice box, or they'll have to deal with him finding out what effect demon blood has on him... (I have no idea what said effect is yet.)
- Not everybody's likely to be happy with a random guy being in charge. Maugris has no actual authority and given that he's only out at night it's not as if a lot of people know him, even adjusting for big-city standards. Somebody might want to challenge his authority, which could end badly...

[tyrantball]

At some point Desco will probably show up and be very worried but deal with it anyway because this is obviously important to Nano.

I am actually kind of hoping they can use Mech Taco again.

[all_wound_up]

I am totally up for some Mech Taco action.

Actually, I'm up for anyone who has an approved Dual Persona with Nano to use it during this plot. It's a great time for it to happen!

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

Okay, while Atoli is busy catching them all, Faris has been getting a little restless.

Naturally, it was about time there was something big happening she could do something about. She's not going to be content with anything less than getting this thing solved.

Fortunately, blundering around in search of the source of the problem has sometimes been effective in her experience anyway.

[angryyoungvamp]

Oh, hey, Maugris is totally on board with getting this thing solved. Would Faris be interested in working with a vampire wizard?

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

She's met friendly werewolves, why not vampire wizards?

[angryyoungvamp]

Maugris is plenty friendly, especially if you're trying to get the same thing done. And he's in basically exactly the same state of mind as Faris, especially since this is a very familiar situation for him.

He's likely to assume, on the basis of little to no real evidence but a decent gut feeling, that the root of the problem is at the MAGI building or the research lab. Maugris doesn't really know what MAGI actually does but assumes they're running the show because the World of Darkness basically operates entirely on shadowy conspiracies.

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

She wasn't exactly paying attention to that either but either of those sound about right.

[badluckhealer]

If Maugris asks, Aggie is willing to act as a juice box at least once. It's basically how Sheridan healing works anyway so no big deal. Just. ... Y'know. She needs the rest in case she has to use aforementioned healing on someone.

[angryyoungvamp]

He just assumes that anyone using MAGI for an acronym must be up to something.

[angryyoungvamp]

He's probably not likely to ask if she admits she actually needs it for something, though. Especially since enough blood for three shots of magic or healing three nasty cuts on him is enough to make most people woozy all on its own, and he'd really rather not take enough to take somebody entirely out of commission. Maugris is very much of the "we need all the help we can get" school of crisis management.

[samurai_flynn]

Blundering about worked for him and his team.
He can come in with after dealing with a few demons attacking the civilians.

[badluckhealer]

It isn't so much that she needs the blood for anything per se, it's just that Sheridan healing means literally transferring another's injuries onto herself. She's well aware of the consequences and will probably be able to balance being a part-time juice box with healing. She's also not a complainer most of the time.

...basically she won't mention it. She's pretty lineface for sixteen.

[angryyoungvamp]

Fair enough. Maugris might be a bit distracted to notice additional injuries she definitely didn't get in a fight. But he's not actually used to having people with healing that actually works on other people around, anyway.
