"...does this clockwork hand follow you... or guide you?"

Okay! So an important event regarding the Black Hoods side-plot is going to start soon. It's been in planning for a long while. Too long, if anything, to a point where attempts to lead into it have stretched on a bit awkwardly... but such is life. I'm going to kick things off very soon. Before that, I figured I'd post a preliminary "who's interested" ahead of time, as this event is going to be pretty involved and trying to play it by ear in terms of who joins when is an obvious recipe for disaster. This is the basic three-stage skeleton of how I'll be running this plot: - Step 1: A single post titled "The Honeypot: Side A" will be posted (a "Side B" post will follow at a later date). This will kick off the event, and immediately transition into... - Step 2: A thread that begins with with several staff characters as the only participants for a set-up phase. This will strictly be an establishment of the situation, as... - Step 3: Once the thread has progressed to a certain point, a battle situation involving the Black Hoods will occur. It is at this point that several low-level Persona-users will be needed and the outcome of the event will depend in large part on how this task is accomplished, and how well. Staff involvement will be determined privately between staff members, but other players involved should specifically be somewhere in the first-tier range. Characters must be willing to put themselves at risk (in a very deliberate, pre-meditated sense) in a fight against multiple Black Hoods. Players must also be committed to posting in a timely manner. While it's inevitable that this thread will take quite a long while to finish, I'd like to avoid any serious stalling situations with this one, both for the sake of advancing the Black Hood plot to a point where this event becomes public knowledge on Bedlam, and for the very personal reason that none of the characters I involve in this event will be able to do anything else until it resolves. The event also involves Kyo in a way that will mark this as a point of no return for the character, so this also a "last call" for anyone who wanted to have a sparring session with her in relation to the other plotting thread. Anyone who wishes to have a thread with her set prior to this event should also get in touch with me so that we can do that. It will be apparent just why this is once the single post goes up. Again, I have to emphasize that players who take part should be committed to the thread. This won't be just another random Black Hood attack, one way or another. In the interest of not making the thread too bloated, I'd like to limit it to a maximum of three players in addition to staff. Hence this thread! So if you're interested, post here and we'll figure things out by the time the "enter stage left" signal lights up. All participating characters need to have Bedlam access, however, as they will have been contacted in advance with a request to take part in this event. The specifics of how this event will be run may change by the time it gets to that point, but this is the current plan. Single post will be up soon! |

Just like to say I'm super interested in being a part of this! My schedule's more open than ever now so posting wont be an issue. I'd love to throw Alan in if I can. |

Alan being there would make enough sense in spite of him being at the bottom edge of second tier, technically. So that works for me. |

I've actually been meaning to hint that Walker isn't as out of the game as has been implied since his last scuffle with the Black Hoods. If there's any room still open, I'd love to toss him in! |

Alright, it's time for Persona-users to start getting involved! This is the set-up: Several lower-level Persona-users have been recruited by Kyo ahead of time to station themselves in discreet public locations within a block or two of the office building in which Dancing at Dawn takes place. These Persona-users were recruited from the ranks of low-tier or newer users specifically so that if Control detected them in the surrounding city blocks their presence there would seem coincidental and too far away to seem like the "calvary." When they receive an SMS alert on their phones, they have been asked to prepare whatever equipment they can get together to fight with as little lethality as they can safely manage. Their objective is to attempt to corner as many of the Black Hoods as they can in the back lot behind the office. While they have not been told why this is important, the implication being that this is a capture attempt, Kyo's actual idea of a win condition here is to force the entrapped Black Hoods to listen to the recording of her encounter with Control. And additional, somewhat puzzling request to that end is "keep them occupied, but keep them conscious and try not to injure them badly." Ket, you have the okay to enter the thread with Alan. Gue, you can enter with Gwyn but Kyo will have warned her that using Rage or Distress magic on anyone might defeat the point of keeping them trapped. Rocket, which character do you want to use, and would they fit in with this particular hook? Is anyone else interested in getting involved? There's room for four or five characters in this, not counting those invited to join outside of this plotting thread. |

If you don't mind, I guess I'd throw in either Kaya or Shar. |

Feel free to enter the thread with Miyako then, Star. Sylia, you can enter with Hiro if you like, but make sure you coordinate with Gue so that you both are coming in from the same location. Vect, I'm in the awkward position of having to tell you that it makes very little sense for Kyo to ask either of those characters to help, Shari being stuck with a prosthetic and not much combat experience, and Kaya being a little unreliable on the "lay off the lethality" part. Star, Sylia, Gue, and Ket may well be pushing it on the number of players to add to this as it is (keeping in mind that there are three staff members involved already and potentially one or two more people on top of that), so I'm going to call this closed for the moment. I'll post again if that changes. That said, Vect, I may ask you to join a future thread after this concludes, as I'd like a character that Kyo is less than familiar with to be involved in it. |
