If I were a super genius, this would be my plan. Unfortunately, I'm not.

"Laaaaaadies and gentlemeeeeen, your attention pleeeease!" Měihóu suddenly yells out from a small stage on eye level with the gallows, just in the moment of silence as the twilight between speech and execution hangs. The concealing robes about her form are dropped away to reveal her stripperiffic armor, fireworks detonating and framing the space around her.

"Hi, I'm your friendly neighborhood Librarian, and I'm here to explain the events of terrorism tonight!" Měihóu gestured towards a large scroll painting that she had been working on earlier, all Vanna White style. "Firstly, I'll show up here, explaining, with a fair chance of getting interrupted, but not 100%, mainly because a Puppy tells Fire Hair Sr that I'm telling the truth or at least believe I am. Honestly, I'm still kind of confused by that one." Měihóu stares in confusion for a moment at the picture, where a small blond dog with a red bow tie is floating above the gallows at a man's height, is whispering into a fire haired figure's ear.

"Anyway, after grandstanding and attempting to play the crowd for a bit, I'll attempt to use the antidote as collateral to ransom back the prisoners. But Fire Hair Senior is a hard ass and will refuse, saying that soldiers who abandoned their posts and let themselves get decieved deserve their fate. That's when I'll taunt people, cause chaos, and attempt to lure as many of the defenders away as possible to catch me. This ruse will be seen through and work, regardless of whether I tell everyone it's a ruse up front or not, because you will send somebody after me no matter what, because I'm a Librarian and general nuissance, but you'll also leave stalwart defenders because you're professionals and not dumb."

"Goldilocks will presume that they can use their sheer numbers to protect the prisoners while people are chasing after me, and they're totally right for awhile, but they and Silvertree will get drawn off when the scale of the assassination attempts against Impery-Lady keeps growing and the havoc I wreak becomes more and more over the top. Silvertree will accidentally cause a fair portion of damage, when he overcompensates a block against an attack that actually turns out to be made out of peaches. We'll rescue a couple of the prisoners, but not very many, as you guys still have WAY more forces available. Fortunately, we get the important one. In that same confusion, some looting will take place nothing too out of the ordinary, except for one daring gentleman thief who makes barely off with an item of eldritch importance despite pursuit by Noface McClown. This will be an important sub-plot that will come up later, as we Librarians and Imperium-eets fight over him while he muses whether the item is worth it while unlocking its true powers. Eventually, he'll have to choose between ultimate cosmic power and true love, discovered in times of desperate alliance. Sigh, how romantic... Sadly, I won't even be one of the choices, cei la vie." Měihóu shrugged.

"But back to the not-here and now closer future, where after a couple rounds of cavorting mayhem, destroying two city blocks, and knocking Fire Hair Jr. OR Sr. into a building because of poor Mother/Dauther mutual trust and overprotectiveness, I'll then take a wound on my left arm from the other going all rage mode don't you touch my mommy/daughter. Then I'll use my tome's secret ability to escape detection. However, I'll be tracked down by a stealth user who never lost track of me when I used the ability. When Ghosty leads Goldilocks back to the hidden Librarian base, they'll discover clues that the Librarian is actually... Oh, there I go getting sidetracked again."

"The only one I'm really worry about is Sadlightning, don't have a good grip on how he's supposed to play out, and him not doing anything the whole time would be weird. Hoping he doesn't mess everything up though it could be fun as long as it doesn't result in bleeeh." Měihóu makes the traditional across the neck death sign.

"So, now that we're all on the same page, I hope you're ready to start the fun! GO THEME MUSIC!" Měihóu pulls out her staff, pointing it forward, as she steps forward onto a music player with her free foot.
