First off... *steals one of the kitties and rescues it from an evil fate*
Next - I'm totally up for being attacked. I was already thinking about it last night and was like, "But.. how would I go about doing that? I don't know anything about who's doing what."
I dunno if I should be snagged and taken somewhere, but then get free or just have a foiled snag attempt. Talk more?
Yay attacks! And so far it seems like people are going for the foiled snag attempt thing, with their characters being found a little bit injured and stumbling along. Alternatively you could have your post be mid-snagging and you and the taggers could fight off me NPCing the bad guys Together, so we can develop a better idea of how the attacks go?
Or if you want her to be snagged and taken you can, I'll NPC the bad guys, we can try to throw some ~exposition~ in while she's being dragged off and then she'll idk, get saved by one of the other members or sing them into letting her free, go home and tell everyone about her experience when Shang calls them into action.
Your choice, really? The last two will involve three-way tagging, which is madness, unless you want to just NPC the attackers themselves and I'll tell you some general ideas of how to portray the three/whichever attacker you choose?
Hmm.. OR.. I could have her wake up, bound and gagged and remembering her attack. It would be a long rambling post LONG post and could end with her escaping and finding the nearest person - which would be whoever tags.
ELIMINATION OF THE 3WAY- Wait.. I LIKE 3Ways.. *grins* No. Sorry, I don't. Gayle's a GOOD GIRL. *read: total virgin*
But, I DO have a small amount of skill at narration, so a long "It was a dark and stormy night" post could work.. But you and I would need a little info swapping so I know what to take back to whomever I find.
Who's more important, Nightingale: The kittens or the family?
Ooh, that could work out well, too. The only thing I'm thinking is that I'd imagine the attacker people would take her directly to their HQ/wherever they'd bring people if/when they actually capture them (which is a warehouse in the middle of the city somewhere, in my head) so if she escaped from there that would kind of kill the whole dramatic whatever that would happen at the end that would signal to the Project manager dudes that THEY ARE READY.
Maybe you write the rambly long attack post and have her at the point where she's about to be taken (so we can get some ~exposition~ in) but then the tagger comes in all BIG DANG HERO and the attackers leave because the tagger is not "needed"/they're only instructed to fight one at a time for Reasons? And then the tagger and you can continue with revelation of ~exposition~, treatment of wounds, etc. etc.
Grumpy really wants to hunt the attackers down and turn them to human ash dust, because he is reckless and stupid and secretly really protective of his GHP mates >___> (Sketch-muse, I think, also wants to help Grumpy with this, as he told Grumpy so in a thread ^‿^). Anyway, IDK HOW Grumpy plans on doing that since he knows shit about where and who they are (lol), and that's not going to happen, but he's blood thirsty. So, I'm going to sacrifice him for an attack!
Therefore, question: how would these attackers react to hotdeathcrazyfire? And on a scale of 1-10, how badly do you think Grumpy would come out of the fight? Fair chance of injuring or totally NO WAY YOU WEAKLING? >:D I don't need an actual attack thread, I'm just going to do the aftermath and I want to know how to write his condition and emotional level in his sws post.
Fffff, TL;DRs are my favorite. I have one for you too! >:D
Okay, from what you've explained, I'm definitely down for the two on one thing. As for Grumpy's agility during the fight, he's been a bit off his game lately (what with his massive freak out with Dopey, et cetera, et cetera), so I can see him getting distracted with Rock and his fire extinguishing skillz and losing his concentration on what Scissors is doing behind him, and then turning around too late and getting knifed in the shoulder/stomach/wherever she would choose to strike.
Now, onto his scary fire breathing! It is terrifying and slightly ridiculous at times. SO, I'm trying to tone it down to make him less superhero-y and more real person with a slightly uncontrollable power, so when he uses too much fire and/or overheats, the aftereffects are like an energy drain and he turns pretty useless after his big performance simmers down. It'll take him a while to regenerate his fire breath and feel normal again, but his symptoms until then will be: going freezer-level cold

Briar is screaming "Noooooooooo!" and trying to cling to Miller in my braaaaaain. >,>
Her only idea, though, is just pricking one of the attackers, and torturing them for information. ^^; In particular, she's considered locking them in a glass coffin and burying it for several hours... or letting Grumpy roast them - though only if they have healers on hand.
(Briar's power isn't the strongest in terms of offense, but it does make her pretty hard to take down - avoiding her thorns from a distance isn't too hard if you know what you're doing, but in close quarters? They'd need some pretty thick clothing at the very least.)
I'm okay with playing it any way you want to do it. :P (And there's nothing wrong with inserting your character into the drama when it's necessary. :P )
For Briar - if Miller could convince her that the plan was necessary, she would indeed prick the girl... and take the tracker as a precaution, after a moment's hesitation. ;)
She'd still try and fight, but I'm alright with either scenario - if they were smart, they'd try to take her down with a distance (a very high powered tranq, maybe) or catch her off guard and wear heavy clothing... and then put HER in heavy clothing; they can bind and gag Briar, but so long as she's got a speck of skin showing, she'll do her best to send a thorn their way...
Or we could just capture them. Whichever one you think would be the most fun for everyone, I think. :)
Well, I suppose we'll just keep things going as they are for now and if it looks like it's gonna go that way, we'll ~planify~
And Miller's going to be working on convincing everyone at that meeting that Shang will be inviting people to (the post of which I shall put up after he's done chatting with Gayle.) So I imagine there'll be all sorts of protesting to be had.
Mmm, they could do that. But I get the feeling that despite their good training, they're still a bit more like lackeys who lack thought, if y'know what I mean. They've been told to take down the Project members and why and what might work best, but they kinda want the thrill of taking them down without too much tech.
Honestly? I think the rescue would probs be more epic. Plus I was thinking it would show the Project managers that ~finally they are ready~ and then they'll get called to the Facility and told the things that the peoplez want them to know. *nodnod*
Prince would probably just charge in with a sword, given the chance, so he... needs someone to direct him a bit. (He isn't exactly tops at strategy, to hologram!dad's disappointment.) He'd be up for trying to charm their way in, but won't necessarily think of it himself- about how strong-willed do you think the attackers are? on... idk, maybe a 1-10 scale? He's not going to go for the torture option- I figure he'll either accept surrender and take prisoners or fight to kill.
Also- at some point, maaaaybe during this arc if there's some downtime, I think I'm going to have him find out that the "therapy" he went to as a kid wasn't just for the nightmares he was having but also to try and make him forget about the GHP?
Princey <333 I've been meaning to tell you that he's just absolutely adorable and I wuvvles him, so; he's absolutely adorable and I wuvvles him! :P
