Operation: Takeover - DISCUSSION

[Macavity]

alright, you scallywags.

it's about time we got things moving around here. this is a discussion puddle for BADDIES ONLY. of course this is in the baddies portion of the plotting forum but perhaps some of you guys also play Jellicles. remember, what is discussed here pertains only to the baddies. when we have a firm idea of what we want to do, we will pitch it to the Jellicles and get their feedback, listen to what they think should happen as well, and come to a mutual agreement amongst EVERYONE so there is no confusion. that includes rules, conduct, and an idea of how it's going to turn out.

also, metagaming is bad. none of that.

i'm watching you.

i spoke with ABT at length about ideas for a takeover. how it will be initiated, i'd love to hear some of your thoughts first. start brainstorming! there were a few things tossed around for during/after the takeover as far as hostages are concerned.

Macavity will want three Jellicles alive: Tugger, Munkustrap, and Mistoffelees. (two queens or so will be taken hostage as well for leverage.) they are important. i'm thinking of having him split his baddies up to find, capture, and protect them. this also brings to me an idea we had.

he will gather all the baddies together and tell them from start to finish the takeover plan. if you guys are willing/think it will add to the storyline/it is within your character's character, by all means speak against him. question his authority. question his plans. doubt Macavity. he is not commonly the fighter like the rest of you might be. he is the brains of the operation, but it's possible very few of you have seen him actually get into hand-to-hand combat. it will stir up tension and if you guys are up to it, go for it.

a little mutiny here and there can't hurt, can it?

apologies if this is incredibly disjointed. so, here's the tl;dr version:

- Brainstorm ideas for takeover and post them here. We will discuss and settle on a plan.
- Keep in mind that we will take hostages: Munkustrap, Tugger, Mistoffelees (and perhaps a queen or two like Bombalurina or Demeter for leverage; other options welcome)
- Questioning Macavity's authority/doubting him during the IC meeting of baddies is welcome and encouraged. Bring tension and conflict in amongst everyone.
- No playing with the Jellicles for ideas. This is purely baddie-influenced discussion as of right now.

so let's play, kids. give me your all.

[Fangor]

I think there needs to be a pretty gruesome fight with the Jellicles. They've kept Chris in the dark so long about Kit, it'd be a great opportunity to let Chris go (besides itching for a chance to really play how psychotic he is, that's probably my only opportunity to do anything with him that's useful).

Plus, you figure that some cats would have to get hurt since I don't see how Munk would be taken hostage without putting up a hell of a fight. Though that could be interesting trying to take Munk down without killing him.

And Tugger--how will they get him? Strangely, despite the magic, Misto might be one of the easier ones to take but something will need to be done with his creeper brother.

[Nehemaiya]

Maiya will follow Mac to the death! *salute*

Oh, but I had an idea, just tossing it out there.
Mungo and Rumps, they used to work for Macavity right?
So... I was thinking of some betrayal on thier end. I'd have to talk to Mel about it, but I think it could work out. It wouldn't be like, "Fuck you Jellicles! We were playing you all along, muaha~" But more subtle, as in not trying to stop the baddies, and perhaps acting as informants as to hiding places and whatnot. Just an idea.

[Rozumbrad]

Yes, Sir, Boss man. Uh, yeah. Rozumbrad does what he's told. Pascal does to a point, as long as it's fun. So... they do what Mac or Fangor says.

[Macavity]

I don't see how Munk would be taken hostage without putting up a hell of a fight. Though that could be interesting trying to take Munk down without killing him.

of course not. i expect those who are able to put up a fight. Macavity may have to deal with Munkustrap himself, or with a cat or two helping him. he is the grand prize here.

as far as Tugger? we'll need to communicate with his player about the best way to take Tugger down.

Mungo and Rumps, they used to work for Macavity right?

currently in the process of seeing what can be done with Mungo, Rumple, and Macavity. yes, they worked for him and they could prove to be incredibly useful for this. however, Macavity is displeased with their sneaky abandonment, and more than likely won't let that slide for much longer.

[Sahar]

Sahar reporting for duty! Oh, she will be excited about this. It might be a challenge to get her to not kill a hostage, though. Seeing as she's normally an assassin, she's not too used to just beating someone up but not finishing the job.

She'll still do whatever Mac/Fangor says, she just won't be too happy when she's told she can't kill everyone.

Anyway, Sahar is also the friend of Rumple's, who will probably let it slip that there's a meeting the next time she sees her. Because Sahar still thinks Rumple is in the gang, because she's oblivious sometimes.

[Macavity]

she just won't be too happy when she's told she can't kill everyone.

i'm sure there will be several baddies who could relate. but Macavity's orders are strict and unless you're looking for a real fight, you'll do as you're told.

heheheheheh.

still keeping this thread open and all. let's hear some thoughts.

[Fangor]

Not like Fangor will be too thrilled about the orders, but eh. That's life.
