The time has come. FOR PLOTTING.

First, a small note for the people who aren't so familiar with the Homestuck canon/this character in particular: Scratch is a man with plans and goals and he counts on them to succeed not only because of his massive ego, but also because his world is ruled by predestination and he is perfectly aware of it. The community has derailed this previously rock-solid fact, though, something which he has begrudgingly come to accept. All he can do now is try to work around it - or, better yet, eliminate the problem entirely.

This is where you come in!

Scratch has already started reacting: his "alliance" with Yurippe is certainly not for her good; if he helps her at all, it will be a purely incidental bonus. All he wants is as much info as he can get and, of course, a way to break the community. To that end, he is keeping an eye on all the most powerful members (Kefka, the Doctor, etc.) and on the bumbling suckers who he believes might be accidentally influencing things.

Another idea he has had, but is only marginally better than the above, is killing Azula. She is (aside from the community itself) the major foreign element throwing off his carefully orchestrated chain of events. Making someone else off her (no, he wouldn't do it himself; it's all part of a big pool metaphor) would be a way of controlling the situation. However, he's aware that, more likely than not, this might have even more chaotic consequences.

That brings us to his most preferable idea, which might be impossible unless he does find out how to exploit the community: to make everyone, kids and trolls alike, forget the community entirely. This would get things back on track, for pretty obvious reasons. Now that I think of it, this last point might really kind of hinge on the first one, huh? H-Hahahah I should have organised this better. A similar possible goal would be to destroy the community before the point where the kids/trolls find it. Either way, it's all most certainly impossible, but damned if he's not going to try.

A-ANYWAY. This is all kind of complex, so I was hoping a plotting post would help us sort something out! Thoughts? Ideas? Questions, even? Allies (aware or not) and enemies alike are welcome!

plotting, duck
