Shouting out to all the Runaways players (and interested parties)!

Brainstorming? )

Well, I was waiting for Gert or Chase to tag in with something, since I've been trying not to let Victor dominate the thread, but I was thinking we could have the Leapfrog or Xavin's ship try to scan for Molly and/or Nico, see if scanning for specific lifeforms is included in Victor's remaining programming, and/or have Old Lace pick up the remains of Molly's trail.

*nods* I was waiting too, which is why I'm just sorta musing over possible solutions here instead of trying to poke the thread along. That, and picking up on Nico when she's been magically kidnapped seemed to be pretty tricky for the skills of the remaining Runaways, and it seemed like it might need some combined brainpower to solve (assuming we're all in summer downtime mode...)

It might be interesting to jack Victor in just to see what happens. *rubs hands together* Ultron possesses the Leapfrog!

*plays the Imperial March from all of the Leapfrog's speakers*

I've actually considered how Victor would hook himself up to other computers (since it seems like the sort of thing that an AI would automatically include in a body it was building for itself or another AI for communication purposes if nothing else), and I've come to the conclusion that, unlike the Vision, his connection would probably be entirely wireless to facilitate the human masquerade. This meshes with stuff in #14, so it's all good.

Not that Victor's wirelessness actually has much to do with how they're going to try to find Nico and Molly, but unless we get input from any of the others it feels like we've already covered all the bases that don't involve just walking around New York hoping to get lucky. *sigh*

Well, if they do manage to use the Leapfrog's computers to locate Molly and/or Nico and they have to go after them on foot, Victor could use the wireless connection to make sure that the Lost-and-Found-ers don't get moved about.

*politely raises hand*

Okay, I'm not too sure on how the Leapfrog works, but could they ask it if it noticed Molly leaving? It wouldn't help much, but it would at least give them a place to start.

I'm pretty sure it could ^__^ Just knowing that she snuck off instead of being sneakily snatched changes things a great deal. In fact, Molly's player mentioned in an email that he hoped someone would think to do just that. Therefore you get internet cookies!

Yay, internet cookies! ^_^

Also, I'm not quite sure where the YA are on the timeline here. They're either still grounded, mucking about with Hawkeye, dealing with the InVision of the Body-Snatchers or possibly Billy and Teddy are on their date.

Please let Xavin note that interrupting The Date will invoke the "I'll hold him still while you disassemble him at the molecular level" response.

Oo, good point...I'd just been assuming that this is all going on during the Training Day thread, but it could easily be some other timeframe. Well, whatever causes more chaos as deemed by the ESTs, I suppose!

...Xavin might want to consider adopting the form of an extremely hot male if he does bust in on The Date. I'm a little torn as to whether Karolina ought to be with Xavin when s/he first encounters Teddy. There are extenuating circumstances here, but it seems like they might need a cultural go-between to keep things from getting uglier.

Indeed, cookies for Teddy's player! I had thought that the Leapfrog might have even recorded her quotes to play back! But I didn't want to say anything as I wanted to let things develop as they may ( ... )

Well, I always thought that the Powers that Be had some kind of plan/plot for us.

Otherwise, I'll go with whatever everyone else thinks is good. :D

I can't exactly add anything to this debate, but I do hope that you guys rescue Kevin and Nico soon, because I'm not even sure if this guy is organic at all.

That and I think Nico and Kevin will totally goth-bond if we don't have anyone else to talk to. Cure, Black clothes, the whole shebang. And that will not be pretty.

Aw man, Karolina groans at the loss of all that progress Nico'd made...she'd even stopped with the cutting! It's time to burn the October Project CDs.

Hey, at this rate, I'm surprised Kevin isn't cutting. And speaking of blood, Kevin just came up with a way to get Nico to bleed in that little closet room thingy.
