[OOC] VIGILANCE: Sanctuary

[Tyler]

I guess this is a question more for @Tyler than @Lord Wraith, but I'm going to guess your collaborating on the fairchild electronics plot. So what dirt, if any, would Anthony find on FE as of him digging in his underground networks? Or is that a more private convo? ;P

@Bigg Slamm

We're not collaborating on anything. The Fairchild Electronics arc is largely intended as just a personal one for Emory; that's why I chose to have the product they were marketing essentially just be a taser. They aren't any real threat to Hyperhumans at this point, they're just monetising on the fear and public unrest. Honestly, I am surprised that so many people have headed to the rally.

I think there is definitely potential for FE to become a larger threat later on. Money is power, and they have a lot of that thanks to their global enterprise and an especially generous charitable donation. But currently FE doesn't care enough about Hyperhumans to allocate resources for producing anything of real threat to the Hypes; their involvement is solely monetary, they've yet no motive for a vendetta.

Wraith has a lot of his own solid plans for the RP that are much more interesting than anything to do with FE, and I think people should focus more on those elements - the real danger to Hyperhumans, from whom the convoy is running. Fairchild Electronics will only ever be a minor antagonistic presence at best. The entire scene has kind of been blown out of proportion by the amount of characters who have attended; it was initially to be a scene purely for Emory to face his father, but then after a discussion with Wraith we realised that the electrical nature of the rally would give Zeke an opportunity to shine.

Now, I'm not sure what will happen. There seems to be too many Hypes present for Zeke and Emory to cause a fuss with any degree of convenience. I personally was expecting most people to want to introduce their characters and head for the convoy. I don't see the other characters attending just to see whether they can get a deal on the Pacifier, and frankly I feel that a large group of Hypes causing a scene at the beginning of a roleplay about keeping a low profile is more than a little counterproductive.

I will likely just have Emory face his father in private. I don't know what the rest of you plan on doing.

[Bigg Slamm]

Well as for why Anthony is there he is just a curious bugger, he'll probably buy one of the pacifiers for convienant parts once he realizes it's just a glorfied tazer. After which he'll continue on his quest for the convoy.

[Wade Wilson]

Edited two more things into Josh's notes, to make him that bit more quirky. Still writing up a post.

[Tyler]

He let himself become sour and bitter for all the wrong reasons. And now, as he trudged along in the middle of nowhere, his legs burning like fire, and At the End of the Day blaring through his headphones, he regretted everything.

The book was promptly closed and placed in his bag, along with the pen, before it was all zipped up and secured once more onto his bag. He pulled a black, spherical container from his pocket, around 2cm in width and 8cm in height, before popping it open and pulling out an oddly-shaped blue pill. Josh threw it in his mouth and swallowed it, fastening the container and shoving it in his pocket, before looking into the distance. It turned out Pointe Bordeaux was closer than he thought, as he could just see its skyline as his vision became clearer.

@Wade Wilson

He took the blue pill... >.>

[Tyler]

I do feel the need to say how thrilled I am you decided to apply after all, @Wade Wilson. If the strength of your opening post is anything to go by, watching Joshua throughout the roleplay is going to be a gripping character study if nothing else.

@Tyler

Aw, stop it.

[Wade Wilson]

@Tyler But, in all seriousness, if you'd like, I can PM you the character development I'm hoping to have happen with Josh.

[Atrophy]

Right. I need to refresh before posting. @Tyler raises a good point. It could get a little, what's the medical term, clusterfuckey if we have a Hyperhuman pep rally at the Anti-Hyperhuman Electronics Expo.

Considering she's extremely susceptible to those MINERVA-types, I may have Grace "unintentionally" end up at the convoy in my next post so we aren't all stepping over ourselves right off the bat. Actually, the idea that Pointe Bordeaux's self-proclaimed superhero totally misses out on something going down and getting exposure on Twitter "saving the day" because she's rolling through a swamp due to a f'ing hunch really kind of sounds like my jam and jelly.

So, uh, if anyone wants to be convoy buddies...

@Atrophy

Joshua has no interest in the expo, either. They could bump into each other with Josh looking like absolute shit. It'd be funny for her to watch him as the high is initiated by his drug, actually XD

[Atrophy]

@Wade WilsonSure, I don't see why that wouldn't be a terrific—

■ He will resort to cannibalism if it means he stays alive.

@Wade Wilson

—idea.

Great. Grace is going to be turned into long pork.

@Atrophy

With her consent, of course. Joshua still has standards, cannibal or not. *Twirls moustache*

[Bigg Slamm]

As if he could actually bite into her. XP

@Bigg Slamm

Knifey can do that just fine! Ain't that right, knifey?

_{Imma fuckin stab a bitch}

See? *stabs arm*

EDIT: Though, he might need to hack it off, piece by piece. Maybe just kill her and stuff different body parts in portable freezers. Hell, she'd keep him going for a year, if that.

[Bigg Slamm]

i don't think even a chainsaw could open her up. i'd say throwing her from a tall enough building might do her in, but then you got to find all the pieces and pick out the gravel. to much hassle for me. XP

WEEKLY DISCUSSION:

^{This is a weekly topic of discussion used to incite activity in the OOC and encourage players to interact with one another.}

• WEEK 1 | Going forward in the RP, what are you looking forward to seeing in terms of plot, antagonists, interaction and other elements?

@Lord Wraith

Like pretty much everyone else said, the interaction. I'm particularly looking forward to Gareth's interactions with Lucas, Josh and Grace (now that I think about it, I'm looking forward to interacting with everyone's characters. They're all great). Besides that I'm also especially looking forward to developing Gareth; giving him more reasons to live other than the fact that his deceased wife would want him to. This springboards off of interaction, too, so you can probably see why that's at the top of my list.

@Tyler

I honestly thought that this was where Wraith wanted us to go. I can easily edit my first post and have Gar head to the plantation instead. I have no problem with that.

EDIT: I've edited the post. Gareth's no longer headed to City Hall, but going to the convoy, instead.

[Nemaisare]

Just ask Marcus to lighten the gravity around Grace. That's what density is, it creates its own gravity, so if you remove the gravity, it'd probably loosen some of the denseness. I am all of the up in the science. Lord love a duck, that sentence was horrendous.
