Lex
Waver
Fordola rem Lupis
Cú Chulainn (Caster)

Daenerys

And here are the people who are Helping the Escape:

Ursula | Yuya | Ventius

Emet-Selch | Judar | Trevor
Connor | K'rihnn Tia |Steve
Fugo | Gwen | Andersen

If you do or don't wish to take part or can't or I missed you, let me know and I'll be sure to add or take you from the list!

Comments

Plans already made

[showsnopiety]

Basically if you've been planning an escape here, go ahead and plunk it here!

How to help

[showsnopiety]

For those who don't (or do) have plans, Plunk them here! How can your character assist? Can they distract? Punch? Or somehow get in the way? Let's get creative!

Plans that could be made

[showsnopiety]

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

[kuroi_taiyo]

While Judar doesn't have much, save for his head, for the initial escape, he will be following and keeping the tail end of the group safe.

... Without telling anyone that he's planning on being the buffer to secure their way out.

So it'll seem like he's part of the escapees, until there's people going after them, at which time he'll hang back and be headbutting and fighting to occupy them, getting 'recaptured.'

If you need someone to help you bust out of a cell (maybe your character is weak or needs to be carried) or help you through the maze that is getting out of this hell hole, Trevor will help you. He's usually shackled but he can use the chain part of those as a means to choke someone. Or, you know, smack them in the face with. If he's not muzzled at the time of the escape, he's a vampire so he's got fangs to bite even though he might just stick to being creative with his surroundings and using whatever he can. Chairs can be thrown, beds can be turned over, sheets can be used to whip someone with. He might even block a door with a wooden board. He's not against using whatever he has around him.

If you want him to help yours out and he stay behind to buy your character some time, I'm also good with that. Whatever you need Trevor for, he'll help you. o/

i don't have plans but i DO have a gwen who is, despite being very smart, dumb and reckless!! if a rathmore got close enough to her she could tear their throat out and steal their keys, or if she can get access to water to transform she could hostage them with tentacles in order to Do Some Teamwork, Probably. she's also not a great planner, but amazing if you need someone to do some insane shit without time to think about it first.

[belligerentwarrior]

Turnskins are pretty strong, so Fang can probably help break someone's chains out of the wall or kick open a cell door just wide enough to squeeze out of or something. She has one (1) feat of strength in her before she's exhausted.

Also standard bludgeoning people with restraints, biting, tackling, 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!

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

[lonewanderer]

so Lex is escaping, but she is also helping people to escape because she's stubborn like that (admittedly she's also gonna be like, bleeding everywhere, but). She'll probably human shield a lot because lol metal bones. Punch, kick, headbutt, hit people with her wings and/or the solid piece of metal on her arm that they couldn't get off of her.

She can also pass on messages when she gets out, if anyone wants her to!

[freeing]

I have definitely been plotting since the sign ups! I'll be getting concrete plans with Asura's player, buuuuutt.... Dany is going to catch fire to her cells/the cellblock in hopes to provide a distraction and since she was chosen as an escapee — she'll be able to bumrush out! Also to note: because of her dragon traits, she has been tortured with ice and sedated mildly during operations to remove her scales. She won't be able to use her flamebreath fully, but it may be how she starts the fire — she just needs to find a way to spread it.

If you'd like some negative CR with her, I'm open to her being called reckless / possibly causing others to get burns in her impulsive plans. This ain't all rainbows and sunshine breaking out....

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!

[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

[freeing]

love the prison riot!!!!

[trouvaille]

i am hella down for prison riot

[hippocarnival]

Yuya has minor illusion and fire abilities, so he can use those to create distraction and give other people the chance to escape! He's not going to be picky who he helps, anyone who can get out is someone who can get them help.

[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.

[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]

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!

[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.

[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

[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.

[mirshikar]

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

[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!.

[freeing]

scoops up. runs.

you're awesome for this!!!
