And here are the people who are Helping the Escape:

Ursula | Yuya | Ventius

Neeeeat! I'm excited to come up with something as well - she WAS imprisoned before arriving, so when she gets her chance? Actually for a good reason? She's gonna do her best.

I don't have anything planned with anyone yet, but I have some ideas I've been batting around that could be used for threading purposes!

• Even though MTT's one of the escapees, he has a talent for shapeshifting and vocal mimicry as a Puca. (Though the best way to tell it's him is that he can't remember how many fingers humans are supposed to have...) With some help, perhaps another Mirrorbound can subdue one of the Rathmores and he can steal their image and their keys to unlock some cells, temporarily undetected. Get as many people as possible out of their cells and onto the floor.


• A lot of characters seem inclined toward being strong, and Mettaton's a perfect candidate for this. Since he's made of metal, there's little to worry about if your character has to be rough with his shackles. I'd love to thread out having a character help free him of the chains binding his legs.
  
  Speaking of limbs, if it ever comes up that Mettaton is apprehended/bound by the arms... Well, he'll recommend tearing them off for him in a heartbeat, if you're down for that. Who needs arms with legs like these? It'll hurt now that he's become more cyborg bunny, less android, but, details. Just... hold onto them, ok? He wants them back when this is all over.


• He is Fast, since he's a Puca. He'll need help keeping the path to the exit clear, and it's more than likely that he'll get caught along the way. Having help getting free of these situations will be helpful.


• As with other escapees, Mettaton will gladly relay dramatic messages to your character's loved ones. By dramatic, I mean it might turn into a love confession on the way out of his mouth. You want that, I'm sure. He'll really stoke those fires of love to get some action! Otherwise, his focus upon escape is to be as loud about their location of capture as quickly as possible, which is helped by being a speedy Puca.

oh awesome, great idea! thank you!

also, I'd be super interested in having Waver meet Asura sometime during their captivity before the escape stuff pops off, if you're down! nothin like some good old bonding over being tortured together, right??

[mirshikar]

I won't be able to do much tagging until the weekend rolls around, but I'd definitely like for Asura's path to cross with Waver's, too! I'll definitely hit up your top-level, then, or if you'd like to do something different, let's chat on plurk. (Thanks for the add!)

[lonewanderer]

Honestly that's... that's a pretty good response...

RUBS HANDS TOGETHER this looks wonderful!!

[futhark]

Caster is definitely going to help in any kind of organized escape/rioting et all. He got natural high-pain resistance, so he could play a bait, where he suddenly gets much more lively than a guard could expect a bloody mess to be. While he is the type to help and stay behind, he got rolled as one of those who do escape, so— there are plans for someone pulling on him the "I'm a buffer for your escape" instead (looks at Judar, looks at Archer)

Since his magic specialization lies in Enchantment, and while he doesn't know healing spells, he knows one that turns off pain. So once the magic dampening effects are out of the picture, he could act as a dose of morphine for the fellow escapees.

Re: How to help

[sing_for_me]

Some of the ideas for Alex was using her merrow song to make prisoners more obedient, but if she snaps out of it enough, maybe she can turn it against some of the captors to help give some extra time in escaping while she has some access to water. She is also ready to latch on to someone and bite and scratch.

[showsnopiety]

With Caren, she's been using her sensitive hearing to listen in to conversation by the family members and the guards- so she can pass on information to the others!

Who knows, she could hear as to when they're having a guard shift or when the next rounds at the cells are happening!


And of course she can offer durability and some chimera strength. She's also pretty agile on the virtue of being small, and by having those cat genes in the mix :>

[kuroi_taiyo]

Get saved, scrub.

[gehennawind]

Paloma can hypnotize someone with a potency that depends on how well-fed she is at the time (a donation may be required)!

Despite everything, she is making an active effort NOT to kill, but will not interfere if someone else is attempting to do so. HOWEVER, if she's fed, she's fast and frantic and keen on bodyblocking/being a pain in the ass for jailers with scratchy nails and strong blows.

[tryhard]

no problem!! feel free to hit up my tl whenever you like and hmu on here or plurk if you want to plot something particular out :>

I'd love to thread out some pre-escape planning if that's in the cards

[tryhard]

morphine witch....... tbh waver could probably use it :')

[tryhard]

are vampires good with silver? waver needs a bud to get restraints off of him!

edit: i think that's covered actually, whoops! HOWEVER. I still want to plot with treffy and maybe he can assist waver's escape in another way. the world is our oyster :U

[enkidoh]

Um yes! :D

Enkidu can show some muscle. Or well, punch. Be angry.

[enkidoh]

- Enkidu can do their best to focus all the (negative) attention onto themselves. Don't worry, they got this.
- Look, Enkidu can't magic themselves out of a cardboard box BUT they are still a weapon. They can punch and kick. Hold doors.
- Fuss like whoa

They will probably try to slip out as well if they get a chance but will be pulled back.

[quickwhip]

Silver is kinda a thing that hurts vampires as well so... it's probably for the best. /o\

But Treffy is definitely available for helping Waver out. Or I can just have him bother Waver on his top-level if you'd prefer.

[futhark]

that last push so they can reach help :') despite all the injuries

- how the fuck you guys ever got here on your own legs?
- fueled by extreme spite and survival instinct

[futhark]

there's probably going to be a lot of yelling over it later. don't pull his own shit on him!!

how the hell to deal with this

you are getting...saved... right back. by proxy of the rescue team

[kuroi_taiyo]

I'm excited to deal with this yelling, then. Meanwhile Judar'll just be 'you're an idiot if you actually thought I was going to get away' with leg injuries. Though he's good at masking how bad that can be

Hey, too bad Cu didn't work on healing spells. He'd be handy for all the post-rescue healing. Especially for himself.

[tryhard]

oh yeah I wasn't sure! that works :)

if you wanna tag my tl, go for it! they can talk about escape plans too maybe :U

[tryhard]

EXTREME SPITE yeah that's accurate

i'd definitely love to have caster help waver keep going with a little magic morphine. fun bonding times with your friends! :)

[futhark]

Got this greenlit so definitely gonna happen 8)

[callmeven]

ventus isn't going to be able to escape because he's going to work very hard to help others escape first! ven is a turnskin and can shift if need be!

he has injuries that won't be useful in helping himself escape so he'll be acting as a distraction instead for other victims. if anyone would like to use him as a distraction for their character hmu! also if your character tries to escape and fails maybe they can get punished together too HAHAHAH

[boneofsword]

Archer is going to help other captives escape, but will stay behind to ensure their safe escape. He can offer basic first-aid, help with planning, or provide distraction. Having a high pain tolerance makes him a good tank, and he's a skilled fighter.

[unholey]

Along the lines of "using a bit of magic to help an escapee out" Fugo would basically use one opportunity to try and even the odds of someone else getting out.

A) use a bit of healing magic to, likely not entirely, help with someone's injuries to make them stronger for an escape
B) give someone a shield that reflects magical/physical projectiles. it wouldn't last long (probably would break after one or two hits?) but it would fling whatever is thrown at it back at whoever threw it.

He is absolutely also willing to do things like pass messages along, share food/resources, or even make an opportunity for a more hearty/determined cellmate by lunging at a complacent guard who enters their cell alone thinking they're both been broken down. fugo would try to strangle the guard; the other character could go for the guard's keys or bolt out the open cell.

also, for characters who are willing to carry back a message, he 100% has one to send back to giorno. I haven't figured out the details yet, but expect it to be Dramatic(tm)
