Sadly I have no pony gifs

[attheclocktower]

But we'll do the thing all the same.

HEY EVERYBODY, I thought, what with some of the craziness that will be happening as characters prepare to fight Jason himself, it might be a good idea to have a sort of plotting post for the preparations. And perhaps later, as we get more info, about the fight itself. And since plurk can be a bit unreliable in its ability to reach everyone, I thought a post would be more helpful.

Particularly, this was meant to be aimed at things that might affect several tower residents as a whole, such as the distribution of supplies and the shoring up defenses in certain locations (*coughFloor23cough*). However, personal plotting is perfectly welcome too!

So just... post whatever you want to work out in regards to the event here.

Things to keep in mind:

• Collar checkups will be starting on the 16th!
  
• This includes the testing of all characters switching over to the modified fluid and resulting loss of powers Orange-collared residents don't have much in the way of powers, so this side effect may not be realized until some later residents have the new fluid tested on them!
  
• All characters with retrieval units following them should note that those units have disappeared!
  
• There is no power in the Tower right now and no network, though the glamour is still mostly working
  
• The rift on Floor 23 is very small right now, no bigger than a finger or later, a hand. Mods have confirmed that any attempts to stick fingers or hands through will likely result in losing said fingers/hands.
  
• I'll add more as I think of them
  
• There is a very small chance Jason could be killed in this event, though it will extremely difficult (serious injury is a serious possibility however). If this were to happen Mel has confirmed there will be another method of revival available to characters. It would just be slower and less pleasant. So you can attempt to kill the admin in good conscience that you won't be breaking the game

Have fun and good luck! We're all gonna need it.

I'm about to throw up a post of Arturia investigating Floor 23 if people want to tag her there.

Furthermore, I want to add if people want to change when they're going to test the new fluid in light of the event that that is totally fine. The whole sign up post is for recordkeeping purposes and not set in stone. I saw some people on plurk who were concerned and thought I'd clarify that here.

CLOTHING DISTRIBUTION + Sharing Jason's appearance + Transportation

[attheclocktower]

Xion's going to be helping Reno as a part of Ragnarok's efforts, but more notably to you all, she's also going to be gathering up the clothing supplies that her group has been working on and taking them to floors like the Cafeteria and perhaps Floor 23 - anywhere where people seem to be gathering a lot - to distribute it.

If you want to say that your character got clothes from her, feel free to handwave that having happened, though if there's enough interest I can put up a post too.

Things to keep in mind regarding clothing:

• Tower fabric isn't fantastic - It's not going to solve any warmth issues by itself. It'll be good if you only have like a t-shirt or tank top to get a long-sleeved shirt/sweater though.
  
• Supplies are very limited - Characters - unless they can make a pretty solid case to Xion - will likely not be able to get more than one or two pieces of clothing from Xion, in order to make sure it can be distributed to as much of the Tower populace as possible.
  
• Clothing may be flawed - Most of the people making clothing are amateurs/inexperienced, so there may be some mis-sized pieces of clothing, uneven stitching, etc.

Just overall, the clothing is going to help the lack of heating issue. It will not solve it. So please be careful to not abuse this!

EVERYBODY INVOLVED IN CLOTHING MAKING please reply to this with the kind of clothing your character has been working on, so we can get a good idea of what's available!

================

IN ADDITION. When Xion is handing out clothing, she will also have the picture of Jason's true appearance. She will show it to anybody who asks, and will be willing to talk about - as much as she can - her experience facing him sans glamour (note that this does not include the vivisection. That topic is strictly off-limits).

So if you need or want your character to find out about that, feel free to handwave this as well, unless you're interested!

===============

Finally, Xion can use Darkness corridors to help transport people and things quickly between floors, so long as powers are not disabled. She will be wary of transporting people unless it's an emergency, as it's considered dangerous. However she can be convinced, so please talk to me if you think your character might want to make use of this!

She would also function as a pretty effective messenger between floors, though the Turks/Ragnarok will get dibs on her services, as she's a member of that.

COME AT ME WITH ANYTHING

[guardianlight]

I have one warrior goddess interested in this investigating thing.

[no_longer_a_king]

Just tossed it up. Tag at will. I will tag back once I've gotten some sleep since I worked last night.

Also will be asking for an early break tonight so I can check out what's going on on my phone while at work. XD

CLOTHING AVAILABILITY

[attheclocktower]

(Clothing-makers should reply to this comment to keep everything organized)

Xion has been working on some more complex pieces of clothing, maybe a couple mittens. But mostly she's been working on sweaters and pants since she figures people will need those most.

Edit: ALSO since I can't edit the above, some clothing will be available in leather and fur, which will be a bit warmer, but not a lot. Like, maybe a fourth of all the clothes made by the group currently, absolute tops.

#twi is silly at 11am and no sleep

[guardianlight]

1. Hey you. I heard you and/or someone who adopted you was on the blue collar team. We need CR.
2. What's the appearance of my new target.

[attheclocktower]

1. My brother's in there too. And yes we do. We do very much.
2. Some kind of beak-nosed Frankenstein spider wannabe. Who is a supreme, supreme asshole.

[guardianlight]

Lightning is going to traveling around the Tower while the surveillance is down, cutting down monsters for their weapons (also meat and skins to be tanned and used for warmth) and handing them to those who don't have one. In her mindset, actions like this equate to war and they have one main target: Jason. Thus the more people with weapons, the better. Especially with potential side effects of the new collar fluid.

I will post an entry for this soon, along with her setting up camp on the staircase landing of Floor 23.

As for Ira/OU!Repliku, he is taking care of his job on the doll floor until the retrieval unit following him hightails it out of there. When this happens he'll likely seek out his acquaintances then get a real weapon.

No one said he was the nice one. >>;

If anyone wants CR/to nab one, let me know!

[guardianlight]

1. Noted. Need some meat or leather to make into makeshift cloaks?
2. So aim for the arms, then the neck. Got it.

JASON MURDER COMMITTEE

[great_king_of_evil]

I MEAN as you may know or not, the possibility to grievously harm Jason will present itself at some point during the event. I asked, and it's theoretically possible to kill him. However, it'd be extremely difficult and next to impossible. But the chance exist! And you know what? Ganondorf is not going to miss it.

So basically Ganondorf is gonna make a call to gather everyone willing to kick some administrative ass, no matter what the characters affiliation generally are. If it succeeds? Well, there'll probably be some heavy consequences for everyone involved, but what is life without a healthy dose of risk? It's the golden ocasion to get rid of the evil administrator. And Ganondorf may even die for real if Jason dies, so that's a double Christmas present for the tower.

I have no idea how or when the ocasion to punch Jason will present itself or what the characters are going to have and do to have a chance, but basically if anyone is interested! Ganondorf will be making his call to organize and prepare a plan to ambush Jason tomorrow, probably through anonymous letters and stuff.

[acceptedoblivion]

I think Ira has earned the right to get a punch in. /signs up like a boss

[no_longer_a_king]

....Just commenting here to say I love the picture.

Unfortunately, I want to stay out of the Jason confrontation just due to not having time this week and wanting to focus on whatever is going on in Floor 23.

[attheclocktower]

Times where I wish Xion didn't have a raging Ganon hateboner...

Just tossing up that Xion will be trying to get a good whack with her sword in. Or several. Just... likely not with Ganon's group. So one of them will likely end up helping the other somehow. Who knows?

[great_king_of_evil]

/offers cookie Welcome to the Jasonbusters.

our names shall go down in history for punching him

[bashfulshifter]

I'm not sure if Xion ever agreed to work together with Rick, exactly, but I'm sure he would've offered his services to Reno and would be making clothes for most of December! His wares are fairly decent--simple, but with almost professional stitching and proportions--but since he's making them for the general populace, he could still fall prey to under/over-sized pieces being handed out if they're in short supply.

He'll be making all kinds of things: scarves, cloaks, socks and hats he can make in bulk, sweaters and pants are a bit more complicated and take more resources, so he'll have less of those. Still always willing to be of assistance if they need more, though! o7

[notsogrimreaper]

Hey Lightning, want a skinny kid-oh wait, a weird skeleton coffin monster-helping you beat up monsters?

And he could always help out Ira if he so wishes.

(I'll try not to reply to these often so people can skim through it quickly but I wanted to here)

[attheclocktower]

AUGH I knew I was forgetting something a while ago and replying to that comment on the post was it, I'm sorry /)~(\

Yes, I think the way things were going she would have agreed. If nothing else, clothes is clothes no matter who they come from and she knew her group would need all the help it could get.

Again, I'm really sorry, and I'll try to get back to that post ASAP

[great_king_of_evil]

'tis picture is the emblem of the new hunting club.

But I mean it's fine, hopefully they'll have some good news by the end of the week and the place of doctor-in-chief of the tower will be vacant soon. one can dream.

[great_king_of_evil]

Jason is a really nice person though! ... When you're as sociopathic as him.

Maybe! Ganon's group is probably going to have a very elaborate plan with for aim to kill Jason as swiftly as possible.

[acceptedoblivion]

I am a terrible person in saying why not both but I WILL ACCEPT EITHER OR AND DUDE YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST SHE'S SEEN TURN INTO A SUMMON IT'S TOTES COOL??? MAYBE???

those she meets in battle these days srsly...

[acceptedoblivion]

/accepts cookie for later Thanks.

Yu will forever beat you all in that he got the very first hit muahahahaha

[notsogrimreaper]

He can definitely manage both? AND WOW THAT'S NICE USUALLY HE FREAKS PEOPLE OUT SO THANKS FOR NOT SCREAMING.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Never did get a chance to meet Jason before.

Tossing Veronica up for super secret death mission. She's probably going to die, but what can you do?

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Want a Frankenstein super-assassin to help out?

[great_king_of_evil]

Welcome to Jasonbusters. The meeting will probably be posted sometimes tomorrow.

At least they'll die true warrior deaths! Maybe.
