Plans that could be made

[showsnopiety]

Basically a catch all for suggestions, desires, idea of phases for escaping, etc, etc!

With an ongoing game of musical chairs cells being played out by captive characters, I'd say organizing a prison riot geared toward providing cover/distraction for all escapees wouldn't be out of the question. Messages can be etched into cell-walls, passed along through whispers and code, or even be communicated through daring games of flick-football through prison bars. Interested characters could agree to move on the 21, during a time when a number of the Rathmore family normally pass through the cellblock— maybe when daily meals are 'served' and characters are typically taken for experimentation.

If anyone’s up for this, or has ideas on how to facilitate everyone moving to create chaos for the Rathmores together, feel free to comment here!

[lonewanderer]

I suddenly have the horrifying idea of Lex passing on notes in her open incisions

[mirshikar]

I am frightened by and also in awe of Lex's ingenuity and utilization of the resources available. Mainly herself. If you'd like for her to pass along one such note, I've put up a top-level here for shenanigans.

[lonewanderer]

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

RUBS HANDS TOGETHER this looks wonderful!!

+1

[tryhard]

oh shit prison riot sounds great

passing along messages between sessions or leaving each other notes on questionable things yes yes, these are all such good ideas!

[mirshikar]

Riotriotriot.

If you're up for Waver leaving or responding to a message/note, I've put up an event top-level to facilitate just that!

[tryhard]

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!)

[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

[freeing]

love the prison riot!!!!

[mirshikar]

Got to make a grand exit for Dany and the other escapees, haha. If you wanted her to leave a Queenly message of inspiration to others, I've got a post for it here.

[freeing]

scoops up. runs.

you're awesome for this!!!

[trouvaille]

i am hella down for prison riot

[mirshikar]

Hello fellow agent of rioting chaos!! If you'd like to have Gwen help to instigate, I've got something for that here.

[glitzandglamour]

(they had it comin) (they had it comin)

I like this plan because full chaos is good fun. The more people can get involved, the better! And a prison riot basically necessitates all hands on deck, so there are more ways to get in on the action. Passing messages, verbally or through stealthier means, is a great way to get the ball rolling in the current log, too.

[mirshikar]

(they had it comin all along)

I'm glad that a few characters are up for lending to/instigating some rebellion! If Mettaton is inclined toward capslocking at anyone for build-up purposes (or just in general), I've got a thread for that over here!.

[fordola]

PRISON RIOT! Fordola is saving her strength for an opening, to try and coordinate people when things go down - even if that means enduring her torments without letting an opening up.

She knows a lot about how to communicate in a prisoner situation - part of her training.

[mirshikar]

Cool! If you'd like for Fordola to leave wise advice/plot some coordination with other interested parties, I've got a top-level for passing messages along here! I'm excited to see what she'll come up with when she gets that opening of hers.

Also military-character brofist. o9

[fordola]

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.

[enkidoh]

Um yes! :D

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

[tryhard]

No concrete plans yet, but a few ideas!

- if your character wants Waver to find someone specific or pass on a direct message to the outside world (aside from the general location, what's happening etc), lmk!!

- Waver is a Turnskin who can shift into a small dog. maybe this can help him run away...?

- he'll be pretty weak and definitely need a hand! other escapees? someone to cover for him and keep him from getting caught? someone to take the blow for him?! I'm here for drama, babeyyy let's make it messy

- also looking for someone to help him get the silver restraints off him because he definitely can't do it on his own. any strong buds out there?

- he's got a ring that lets him do very minor elemental magic. mods confirmed it could be kept on him and not confiscated until/unless he actually gets caught using magic. since it's only minor and only allows him to manipulate elements rather than conjure something out of thin air, I'm thinking... maybe he can give a lit torch a boost? cause a ruckus with a small wind-blast knocking something over?

- if your fellow escapee needs a buddy, hmu! I'm also interested in having Waver help people escape and get to safety

[glitzandglamour]

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.

RELAY DRAMATIC MESSAGES YOU SAY...

anyway: apologies for reaching out so late, I had a heck of a week! but if you would like mtt to take out a message out to giorno, I'd love to set that up. and also help gear him up for the escape! I'm not sure how much a healing spell would affect him because of the whole part cyborg situation, but fugo would gladly assist with a shield spell.

[glitzandglamour]

YES... ABSOLUTELY, Fugo what do you need to say and to Who

A healing spell would do wonders for the parts of him so vulnerable to iron, which is a lot of where he's been damaged. Sure it won't help the parts that are broken like metal and stuff, but he has plenty of tissue that has been messed with. If Fugo has any doubts, his ears look terrible and would easily suggest that healing spells work on him. That would significantly up Mettaton's stamina, too!
