[OOC] The City of Masks (Watchmen-inspired RP)

[Xandrya]

@fluorescent

Honestly, I didn't have anything planned so feel free to do as you wish.

[KaiserElectric]

Apologies, but my schedule got really busy recently and I don't think I have the time to contribute properly to this game right now. I might join later when things quiet down though, so be prepared. :P

[Amelian Draco]

@KaiserElectric that sucks, hopefully you'll get some more free time soon

[Heat]

If anyone wants to do another collab with me, I'd be open to the idea. Not sure where to go next with Mason.

[FantasyChic]

Winter is about to head to the place she's about to rob. If anyone wants to hop on board with that, I'd be open.

[Heat]

@FantasyChic Maybe Mason could catch her in the act and they interact?

[FantasyChic]

@Heat Quite possibly

[Heat]

@FantasyChic Great, I'll message you about it!

@Xandrya@fluorescent Do either of you two mind if the Red Claw butts in on your meeting? I have a motivation for his showing up there, and for stuff that could happen after, but I've been dragging my feet when it comes to figuring out vigilante stuff for him to actually do, and I figure hunting two illegal vigilantes at once is a pretty good option.

@BCTheEntity

Go for it. I was procrastinating a bit but I'll come up with something to post now.

[Xandrya]

@BCTheEntity

Sorry for the double post, but Lily isn't in costume right now. I thought I should let you know. I mean, whatever confrontation she has with Red Claw could give her away, or maybe you thought about something already.

[BCTheEntity]

@Xandrya Well, I hadn't realised that, so thank you for telling me. If that's the case, chances are he'll only target Graffiti at first, assuming she's in costume at the time, but quickly turn on Lily once she starts trying to take him out.

[Xandrya]

@BCTheEntity

Oh yeah, she can easily turn on him as she's on edge right now.

[fluorescent]

@BCTheEntity I'm cool with the Red Claw getting involved. Similar to Lily though, Graffiti doesn't have much of a traditional costume - she kinda just roams around in street clothes with her gas mask the only thing really giving her away. But given how high profile she is/can be, I'd buy the idea that just about anybody - particularly the Red Claw, given the resources he has - would know about her and more or less how to find her, should they want to.

[BCTheEntity]

@fluorescent Don't you worry about him identifying her. I've figured something out regarding contacts with help from another player, so that's all well and good in that regard. Even if he didn't, I'm sure they'd both recognise him pretty handily on sight, and act accordingly as @Xandrya pointed out.

[BCTheEntity]

Apologies about the double post, but something's come to my attention just now: the way I've written Alexis' biography and personality, it kind of makes him sound like the sort of person who wouldn't in fact attack a vigilante on sight so long as their activities were restricted to those who deserve punishment. Which, to be fair, makes him substantially simpler for PCs to interact with without diminishing how terrible a person he is in any way, though killing them may just be replaced with ignoring them to as great an extent as he can if they prove uninteresting to him... I wonder, what does everyone else think? Should I play him as a vigilante killer, or should he not do that so much without good cause?

[Xandrya]

@BCTheEntity

Are you going to post next or should I interact with @fluorescent first?

[fluorescent]

@BCTheEntity Given what's on the CS, it doesn't seem like he would outright kill other vigilantes without good reason, but at the same time, it doesn't seem like it would take much for him to determine a good reason to go after a vigilante. Graffiti just murdered a dude and displayed his body in an alley, even though he was sexually assaulting someone. Most people find that pretty despicable. So it's up to you, really, since I can see it going both ways, though I'm leaning more towards not immediately killing, just because talking and then fighting after is so much more fun.

[Xandrya]

@fluorescent @BCTheEntity

Maybe Red Claw knows Arthur? Or he could be his cousin.

Sorry, just taking the easy route...

[BCTheEntity]

@fluorescent Maybe he looks for evidence that a vigilante goes overboard if he feels they need to be killed off. Graffiti's evidence is plastered in fancy murals on a regular basis, so I can imagine he'd immediately try to kill her once he recognised her. The key would be recognising her without the gas mask. Black Widow might be a less likely target, if she doesn't torture people unnecessarily, though attacking him would certainly lead to ASAP retribution if she doesn't just escape.

@Xandrya Like I said, contacts have been sorted out already, so don't worry. And yes, you can keep interacting with fluorescent if you like. I'll interject at an appropriate time.
