My apologies to everyone I'll be holding up, but I've come down with strep. I'll get a post up whenever I'm on an upswing, but it's not going to happen right now.

Oh, I don't think the defense of a slice of life world is a bad idea for a plotline. I'm more saying, in a crossover RP, having a lighthearted well-liked setting of any kind mercilessly destroyed with no real chance for intervention is kind of dumb. As for ways to show how evil the villains are, it's equally possible without, say, having them somehow know that people like certain characters and killing them literally just for evil with no actual motivation. Like, say, having them deal with their enemies in merciless and cruel ways, opportunistic methods without regard for innocents... Deceiving people into working for them... In the end, Shadow Eternity is not in the business of large-scale conquering so I'm not sure it makes sense for this particularly. There'd have to be a specific object the Leader wants for her ultimate plan on a world for her to send people there, though her intentional vagueness probably makes it easy for people to assume that she wants some conquering to go down.

If the destruction without a chance for intervention is dumb, arrange some destruction with a chance for intervention. The opening OOC post states that UMMA's a security agency, right? Have it do some security. Even if there's not a specific macguffin there, you always need capital, which Earth on average tends to be. So you send in a force to wreck that world's military, and tell the populace that they work for you now, and they're going to provide food and minerals and other stuff for your army. That'd fall under "opportunistic methods without regards for innocents".

Oh, yes, when I said destruction with no intervention is dumb, I certainly feel as if destruction with opportunity for defense is perfectly fine and we'll probably be seeing it. The reason it was an issue with the Mushroom Kingdom is that its defense disappeared, and there was no way for the UMMA player characters to get there at the moment.

Are you telling me Waluigi's missing? Also, just because you can't get there at the moment doesn't mean you can't get there on time. From a dramatic standpoint, it's more tense if the thing you're defending takes some damage anyways.

Wait, SE's missions are based entirely around whether the Great Leader needs something or not? That seems weird for such a large, active organization with so many generals, leaders, and commanders.

@IncredibleBee: I suppose so. Everyone was already involved in a fight scene already, so I wasn't quite sure how to handle it. Not to worry, though, Walugi single-handed destroyed all the Shadow Eternity ships. @EarnestEvans: I didn't quite mean it like that. It's more that when she specifically asks for them to do something that's the reasoning she uses. Otherwise it's often for, well, the kind of things you'd need to sustain an organization like this or anti-UMMA strikes.

Hmm, that probably would've worked. Oh well, what's done is done by this point and I want to try and move into a non-action phase for a bit.

I'll mention that I'm very free to suggestions for general events, though I have a few in mind already, one a bit goofy. For now I'll wait on more people to post before I make another reply.

I'll drop a Gintoki/Suwako/Kakine post next time more relevant stuff occurs, so until then I'll be kicking back and working (however contradictory that sounds).

Hmmm. Well, I could probably post for Marisa at least... Could always do a Saber post and have it only be a response to Nono, as well.

Ah, poor Saber. Too bad for her Nono mistook 'socially awkward' for being 'cool and self confident'. Not that it's bad for the readers

To be fair, Saber can be cool-tempered and confident. She is just also socially awkward and silly.

Just a reminder that the area where the fight broke out is under lock down enforced by Soundwave. Again, just a friendly reminder.

If a system has an intelligent robot supervising it, I'd hope that he'd let authorised personnel through rather than force everyone to wait a post whilst they manually petition said robot for entry.
