I see you driving round town with the Bil I love and I'm like...

So, you guys have seen a few hints of what's going down. A promise for a draft, a vague threat from the Malnosso, and some really nasty weather. Well here's where it all comes together. First, let's talk about the Draft.

No, scratch that. First GO DO YOUR ACTIVITY CHECK! In fact, you're not allowed to look at the rest of this post until you do. I'm serious. You'll be in so much trouble if you try and skip it!

--

The draft starts on the 19th. It will end on the 23rd. We'll have more details for you later, but here's some highlights of what to expect:

-The General returns!

-Shifters will have a new type of attack that involves attacking the subconscious.

-The Scanning Devices return

-The Malnosso Security Forces will be participating in the battle

-Draftees from other enclosures will also be present.

-Oh yeah and the battle? IT'S IN SPACE.

Sounds like something you wanna do? Well you just need to sign up here, in the appropriate thread listed below. Remember, characters are drafted against their will, but only if you the player want them to be. Feel free to draft as few or as many characters as you like. Use the copypasta below:



And use it here.

When the NPC post goes up to announce the draft, the character names signed up will appear in that list for character in-game. For now, refer here to brush up on details

--

So that leaves the vague threat. That six day window ends on the 18th. So what will happen? Well if Bil isn't turned over, then nothing.

Not immediately. Why start a search if the town is full of ornery Lucetians eager to cause them to slip up? From the evening of the 21st to the early hours of the 22nd, in the middle of some incredibly severe and destructive weather, the Malnosso will be starting their search. This will include a great many droids and tamed Shift Hunters to track down Mr. Bil. This is where you guys come in. What goes down is going to be purely reactive to whatever you guys do. There's talk of presenting decoys, fighting them off, or whatever. There's several scenarios we have planned depending on what you guys ultimately choose to do. So once we have a firm idea of what Luceti's response will be, we'll provide more details of how things will play out.

For now, here's a write up of what to expect from the weather, courtesy of Cata, during this Malnosso raid:

19th: Typical rainy day, light drizzles on and off in the morning through the afternoon. Steady rain through the evening.

20th: Steady rain through the morning and afternoon, thunderstorm at night (between 7 and 8 PM), heavy rain and high winds through the rest of the night.

21st and 22nd: Torrential rain, heavy wind (between 34 knots (39 mph) and 64 knots (74 mph)), thunderstorms throughout the day. Winds and rain will die down toward 11 PM on the 22nd.

23rd: Steady rain, clearing up into drizzles by the afternoon and stopping by night.

Things to consider

-If your character is capable of sensing or knows how to read weather patterns, they are free to do so. If your character has visions or future-sensing abilities and wants to see something relating to the weather, go ahead.

-Flooding is a possibility. Because there are no drainage systems in Luceti and much of the area is dirt and/or grass, expect the area to get very muddy and saturated with water fast. The sudden increase in rain will also cause the river to rise a few inches. All that said, this is still optional. If you want to play with water damage, feel free to. If you're not interested in the idea, no need to go with it.

-Due to high winds, expect fallen branches and debris around. As for any structural damage, I'll leave that up to you guys (though it'd be cool seeing trees and fallen branches blocking off paths and people working together to clear them).

-The ocean will be suffering high winds, choppy waters, and dangerous conditions. So it's probably not a good idea to go sailing!

Remember, during this time most of the village will likely be on the battlefield. So if you want to participate in what's going on in the village, your character will need to stay out of the draft. Choose carefully!

Ask questions and discuss here! Remember to keep all your questions for the mods in the MOD QUESTIONS thread. Thanks!

Golbez: Off to space with him! Hey, it's as close to the moon as he's likely to get. Shall we team up, Kain? (/terrible idea)

He's primarily a mage but he's also large and strong, so he'll do his best to play protector (not as much as his paladin brother but to a point) to the smaller, weaker types.

Arche: On the defensive in the village. She's pretty fragile, so she'll be hanging out behind the lines when things happen and she'll be not wanting to be alone. But she's got all sorts of magic awesomeness and she can fly, so she'll be pretty useful.

Neliel: She's another who'll be defending the village as well as she can, but she won't be in a group unless someone she knows suggests it. Mostly she'll be running around solo.

Awww yeah time to fight like a girl! B] Pao-Lin could probably also make use of Luffy as, like, a human slingshot or something -- he could launch her at some baddies or something. She's very comfortable being airborne. Of course, this also depends a lot on what the conditions for this particular draft happen to be, but I am so down with this team-up. :D
selfhelp: ([wiccan] you may want to start running.)

[personal profile] selfhelp 2012-06-15 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
okay here goes

Billy will be going into space on the draft, woo. He'll do his best to stay out of trouble until the fighting starts, but once it does he'll be coming out as Wiccan and using ALL THE POWERS. Woo. Since he's a mage by nature he's somewhat defenseless while casting, so he'll need some people to watch his back. No solid plans otherwise.

Edward will be drafted as well. No plans here either, He'll just be doing his thing as usual when he isn't staring out the windows going "SPAAAAAAACE".

Zack will be sticking around the village to try and keep Brave Vesperia organized. Between the flooding, the invasion, and the likely damage to the town, they ought to be kept pretty busy. Guildmates RALLY AND TALLY HO

Asch... halp. What do I do with a cranky blind dude lol. Actually it depends on what Luke is doing, since Luke is his way of seeing. I must speak with Kukki yes. His fonic artes could be useful in that sense if the village gets raided.

Adell: Will be in the village and weathering the storm and doing his Blue Rogue duties.

...Even though he'd be a great candidate for a space battle because apparently Disgaea 4 says demons don't need oxygen to live and can pretty much survive the vacuum of space by sheer rule of bullshit, I guess. XD

Yellow 13: Will be going to SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!!! He may have to learn how to fly a starfighter in a hurry.

One Brave Vesperian reporting for duty! Maybe some more specific discussion about likely flooding areas or places for trees to wreak havoc is in order?

Fenimore is staying home and largely out of everything because she does not want the Malnosso to notice her (if it were up to her, she'd probably have shipped Bil off just to avoid the potential consequences) and she's not exactly confident in her abilities.

But if no one else tries to do anything in advance to the flooding, she might try to suggest people set up some kind of flood control like a levee or something (though, obviously, if such a thing was constructed, the rushed construction would result in leaks that would allow for the flooding affects that people want). That is, if there's any interest in people doing that. Otherwise, if people aren't interested or if someone else takes on that job, she'll just be sitting this whole thing out. (But I, personally, will be watching this with great interest regardless of my character's inclination.)

Hey Inspector.

Let's you and I (I being Luke the English boy, not the ninja) get into some...adventure. Maybe?
jinchuuriki: (I'm not followin'.)

Naruto is off to space! He's probably going to be as active as possible while doing as much as humanly possible for the guy, so he might be everywhere at once or something awful like that. He might also stick to his other ninja buddies to give them back-up. Don't mind him, he's a shounen protagonist.

Robo-Ky is sticking to the village, but probably won't be of much help unless he is forcibly enlisted into helping somewhere. And even then, he's not the most helpful dude to keep around. The flooding might even disable him.

Ragna is going to be dead for the duration of all this, so there's no need to get into that. |D

Shiki is going to remain in the village, and when they Malnosso come, she's definitely going to be up and out there fighting. Anyone that wishes to aid her, I'm all for it!

Green will be interested in getting a good look at those crazy gadgets! He'll obviously be using his Pokémon so there's that. Most likely he'll drop in to quickly cover her back and sort of hang around and lend a hand to get a good look at her style.
avaricious: (Very interesting)

[personal profile] avaricious 2012-06-15 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Sokka will be going on the draft, straight from a combat mission. So he'll be wowed by all the space stuff, but still pretty moody about Suki and worn from two weeks of fighting already. Since he won't be showing up in Luceti in between, he won't have a chance to help strategize.

Ling will be in the village. He may be inclined to help people. His ability to sense chi will make him useful for finding people. But he may also find it easier to just stay in doors. Um.

Arthur will also stay behind. Being the sort of person he is, he'll try to brave the weather to help people and may end up getting himself into some trouble.

Logan will be going on the draft. He's a capable leader and he can cut his way through his opponents pretty easy. So if anyone is looking for someone to follow? Well. Team Wolverine is available.

Okay, where Nami is concerned, this is basically a rundown of things without taking into account the Malnosso side of things. Once we know what they're doing and what the town's plan is, then she'll probably be donig something more active there.

She will not be going on the Britannia's maiden voyage, because she believes she's more needed with her own crew right now, and she'll be tagging Horatio's post to say so shortly.

1) Before the storm hits, she will post a journal wide warning of the heavy storm incoming. She'll also be suggesting the Britannia come back in to shore. They're free to ignore her or not get the message, of course.

2) If anyone needs a hand with dealing with rain/storms, she can probably alleviate the onslaught in localised areas temporarily.

3) At some point she'll relocate to the orchard because sob it's right next to the river and she'll panic about her treeeees~ so she might ask for help there.

There are a few other things I could see her doing-- she'd likely be checking on the safety of the Britannia as much as she could, so if any muns of the crew want to do something there let me know. Otherwise, everything else depends on various Bil-related plans. If she finds droids, she'll certainly try frying the hell out of them.


Unless of course we go with Plan D, which is Nami hiding Bil under a mirage and reading a book in someone's attic.

Princess Luna - Aiming for spaaaaace. Because come on.

Ginji - Probably staying behind and helping out around the village, but still kind of on the fence for him.

YUN & DRACO

[personal profile] tolivefortoday 2012-06-15 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yun: I'm being a jerk and sending a twelve year old seer into space since I don't think a huge dragon would fit sob. So yeah, Yun's going to the draft. SHE ALSO PROBABLY KNOWS THE BAD WEATHER IS COMING, but she hasn't exactly told anyone she can see the future, so, dunno if she'd speak up on that.

Draco: Draco will be showing up to help the village when the storms hit. He's a grouch, but not enough to not help them out when things start flooding. He's a huge dragon, so water and wind isn't really a concern for him, even if the winds might keep him more grounded than he'd like. He can do a lot of heavy lifting if he has to and, well, who just generally doesn't want a dragon on their side?

Willow's going to be staying in the village...doing Willowy things idk. Possibly working with Stark and/or Dresden to deal with the raid depending on how things turn out? I'm open for pretty much anything, here.

Green Oak is going into space! He's actually going to be quite mobile and he's going to be checking on the other fighters, even briefly. It's a CR-building experience!! If people want, he can direct them in battle and come up with some super nifty last-minute battle plans. I'd really like to try and have him direct several people at once, for a particularly epic moment, if people are willing to go for a thread of three or four taggers like that. More details about the SPAAAACE draft are needed for specifics, obviously, but if I get a heads-up as to who wants to look for what with Green I can plan out more interesting stuff in advance.

Moro... yeah don't even worry about her. Once the storm rolls in she's heading for the mountains to avoid the flooding, and she's not taking anyone with her because she's bitter and old. She doesn't matter this time.

I'm interested in Edward and Green meeting up in space! In combat or otherwise, it depends. On one hand they can meet in combat, on the other Green can bark at him for not taking things seriously as he geeks over space.
