(Sorry for the lateness of this. Ah, procrastination.)
This is a planning post for a plot I'd like to run. Evil is afoot, and female!Earl is going to be going ahead with various Akuma-related experiments. I've already discussed it in previous posts a little, but it took a while to iron out more details (and thanks to Duet for the help with plotting). I'm thinking it'd run something like this:
(1) There'll be a ballroom post put up where Akuma which have been specially altered by the Countess will be let lose and attacking people. These Akuma will be fitted out with extra Dressing-Room type weapons, which will include:
- rainbow cake guns
- DR tea guns
- mistletoe guns
So any weird effects you want your character hit with could happen. You could put anything specific you wanted in the subject line, or ask for the Akuma to hit them with something random. For example, you could request the character get hit by tea which would make them dance uncontrollably - which would make fighting the Akuma a little extra difficult. :P
(2) During this post, a number of characters are going to be kidnapped by the Countess and taken away to be turned into experimental Level 4 Akuma along the lines of what happened to Alma Karma in canon. Currently we've got two characters confirmed for this, but if you want her to kidnap any character of yours too, then please let me know before/during the post. (Though anyone who wants to can handwave the getting kidnapped bit and just come into the plot later.)
The Countess is going to let the experiment victims loose after a while, perhaps dumping them somewhere outside the lab and letting them wake up there, and it's up to player discretion what they want to do with their Akuma-ised characters from there. If any of the players want, I'll have the Countess give them orders to kill Exorcists/civilians/wreak havoc. Or she could just leave them and monitor them from afar to see what happens. The effects of the experiment can last as short or long as you like.
To wrap things up, I'll probably have the Countess have a post so that anyone who wants to go after her with a mob and pitchforks and/or congratulate her on the experiments will get a chance.
I was thinking of perhaps starting off the plot early next week. Or if people prefer, maybe after Easter (I can't manage Easter weekend itself). What would be best? Edit: it's looking like after Easter, then.
Eep, forgot to add - but Noah characters wouldn't be able to participate in the being turned into Level 4s part of the plot, since they've already got some sort of Dark Matter and I don't know how it would work.
