Okay, so I know this plot has been languishing for half a year, but: let's talk flesh cathedral!
Who's still up for it? Mitch? We won't get very far with no Father Jackal. Anybody else? What pups do you want to pitch in, and what are their strengths?
ETA: Okay, we still have at least some members, so it's time for me to put on my Plot Organizer Hat.
I'm thinking we should do all our organizing OOC and thread the whole thing in shatterplot, then link it in the main comm when we're done. (Man, I love shatterplot. Who suggested that thing again? Whoever it is, I love you.)
And what I am thinking about that organizing is that we're going to end up with two main groups. The melee folks like Val, Lucy, and Sonia will rampage through Fleshy Detroit finding important-looking things/people and hitting them until they break. Neil, because he is piloting a giant robot with a beam rifle, will fly around at a nice safe altitude doing much the same thing only long-range. If we've got a flying pup with nothing better to do, he could use an escort.
This is a very Val-driven strategy, because Val seems to have become the de facto leader of this whole parade. If we have any pups who are better tacticians than Val, and that's not hard, they're welcome to take charge of the details. I know Leah already volunteered for that; Debi, you still in?
It seems easiest to split the melee pups into a bunch of little teams and have them come at the city in separate subthreads. If they get separated further from there, they can have new subthreads. This raises an interesting question: how are they getting to Detroit in the first place? Val can carry a couple people. Lucy can't. Neil can take one passenger, maybe two. Do we have any other flying pups who can carry extra?
Hmm, I think that's all I've got for now. Questions? Suggestions? Reminders of important things I've totally forgotten about?
