I think that's fine! We don't have any specifically set dates and times on any of the location threads, which is good. We can leave it that way and be flexible until they all meet up. Kinda like we're playing out their history before the big team up!

I'm removing the Ororo to Logan from 07/08 since it's almost a month old and because that scene is stuck waiting for Maeve! Ariel, perhaps we should try to concentrate on the Charles/Maeve/Peter/Wade scene when we get free times to post so we can get the whole team together.

Hey, my fellow mutants! I'm all done with Maeve in the Logan/Maeve scene! I ended it with her teleporting back to Charles' office but won't actually write a post of her reappearing until the mansion peeps catch up. A bit behind there. I was thinking after maybe one more Peter post, we could do a little time jump to them back in the office, now with Jean, and Maeve reappearing to do another scene. Perhaps keep that shorter as well and then maybe time jump to next day when Logan and Ororo arrive? We can decide that part later. Just need to work out the current. Ilona is going to reach out to Lee-o to see if she wants to play out the Logan/Ororo conversation where he convinces her to go along or to just time jump it and refer back to it if they want. I'm so excited, you guys! We're getting so close to getting the whole gang together!

Omigosh, it's coming closer!!! I'm excited for this since the very start! Erik needs his freedom! Yep, I reached out to Lee-o, waiting for her decision.

Woohoo!!! I'll read that over then do like an hour time jump. I don't think Maeve was really in Kenya much more than an hour.
I'll have Maeve pop in to update the crew and we'll have Jean there now, yay! After that, she can pop back home to meet Moira!

Time jump complete! I only posted the jump in the mansion location threads as the other threads weren't actively being used (except for Kenya which we're waiting to find out from Lee-o if she wants to play out that scene or not). I've moved them to the seating room just for change of location and cuz the office looked so sparse as far as seating. I'm not mentioning Deadpool also being there until Jester is back to posting. I think for now, I'm just going to say that Charles left him in the care of Hank (sorry Hank XD) in the event DP is brought up or all our characters can just "remember" that being the case. I needed to make a timeline breakdown. In my last Trask post, Maeve mentioned it was still two days until her usual meeting day with Erik (Saturdays). So that made it Wednesday night when Erik told her about Charles. Let me know if you all are okay with this! Thursday - Maeve shows up at the mansion after work. Later pops over to Kenya. Logan and Ororo start their journey to the mansion. Maeve pops in to give an update. Friday - Maeve maintains appearance and goes to work like normal. After work, she'll meet Moira. After their exchange, she'll pop back to the mansion. Logan and Ororo will probably show up later that night (no idea how long it takes back then to travel from Kenya to New York, nowadays, says a bit over 15 hours). They can start planning. Saturday - More planning, hopefully Moira decided to travel from Virginia to New York and shows up if she's decided to join the fun. Saturday night, break Erik out!

Which brings up the question of how exactly are we gonna' bust out Magnet Man?

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Oct 5, 2018 15:07:22 GMT -8
Definitely a good question! The one thing that came to my mind awhile ago was something using Jean’s power. Was thinking there’s an alarm pad on the wall inside and she could use her telekinesis to push the buttons while Maeve fed her the numbers. Also thought that Maeve would have been sneakily watching Stryker whatever codes they use will be his. Using Maeve’s assigned codes is kinda a red flag. Using Stryker’s will be risky enough but at least Maeve’s name isn’t directly attached.
The rest of it, I’m not quite sure. Maybe there’s an override keyhole in the elevator to get to secret basement levels so Maeve doesn’t have to also have stolen Stryker’s key card. Logan could use his claw to break that sucker open. 😆
Quicksilver, maybe his speed can help open the actual cage? He did the vibration thing to shatter the glass of the previous. This one is thick plastic. Might have to do some science-y research.
Maeve will be there in full ghost mode to lead the way and tell them what they need to get passed and what direction to go.
As for Charles, we don’t really have a player for him but I remember mentioning that the Trask scientists studied Magnet Man’s mind blocking helmet and somehow recreated a tech to block their facilities from being scene and that’s why Charles hadn’t been able to find Erik or any other mutants some of the facilities. Because of that, I was thinking he can monitor via Maeve’s real self. One of those hands on either side of her head things and watching through her eyes.
Of course this wouldn’t be as much fun if something didn’t go wrong. Maybe guards there or they trip new security Roderick added that Maeve didn’t know about. 😲
Kristi, wasn’t sure if you wanted to have Moira involved with the actual breaking in. Maeve’s able to pop around so if Moira wants to try to get to some files in Rodrick’s office, Maeve can help get her to the right place also.
Do you guys have any ideas?? I haven’t sat down and thought it over that carefully. Only had ideas bumping around whilst going about my day.

That's a good 12 percent of a plan.... They can definitely make use of either Jean's telekinesis or her ability to "hide" them from any guards they may encounter. As for Moira, they should probably keep her in the dark about Erik. I think her focus would be on exposing Sommerhaulder as a national security threat. Since the CIA likely also considers Lensherr a national security threat, I can't imagine her being on board with releasing him. Which would cause more work for Maeve but I'm sure she can handle it. Back when it was a different Magneto, Mystique injected some sort of metal into a guard and Erik was able to extract it and use that to break out of the cell. I forget, is Erik wearing a power-inhibiting collar? What about the band that was placed on Victor for his visit -- is that metallic?

Lol!!! 12% of a plan. It's barely a concept. XD Geez. Try to take out a bunch of government officials and suddenly you're a "national security threat". XD I totally didn't think about that regarding CIA having a problem with Lensherr. You're so right! Sorry, I must have had Maeve's rose colored glasses when it comes to Erik on. Yup, Maeve's got this. This just makes things every more interesting and complicated!

Wow, I think that's at least 12 percent of a plan indeed! I'm pretty bad at coming up with "technical" stuff like that and above all to put it in English language, so I hope you don't mind me leaving this mostly to you. But I really love how you're trying to give everyone on board a special job during the break in! I would actually like if Quicksilver could be the first one Erik will see! Would be funny to create a similar situation to the last time they got him out of imprisonment. xD Kinda like "You again. To what do I owe the honor of this visit?"

Hehe! Yeah, another father/son reunion would be fun. Given Peter's power, we could try to come up with something time-sensitive. Like maybe they can only knock out the security cameras or shut down the mutant sensors for a short amount of time, leaving Peter a small window to get in and to get Erik out without being detected.
Except maybe the two get to arguing, lose track of time, and the place goes into lockdown anyway. Erik could still lift the elevator up out of the basement but Jean might have to keep the doors to the outside open. Or something.

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Oct 6, 2018 12:41:01 GMT -8
Great idea, Kristi! I like the time sensitive route. It's hard to keep a group of people who are mostly strangers to each other to keep on the watch. Too many egos competing with each other, one thinking they got it handled and the others thinking the same thing. Hard to trust in the ability of strangers so they would probably be leaning toward trusting themselves.
How about if the code she has them use to disarm is one that doesn't register on the log because it's only like 30 to 60 mins? Maybe a testing mode or something where they don't want the building left completely vulnerable so it's a code used for limited, short access and can't be used twice in a row? Could be for a cleaning crew? Anyone still in there after that time, the alarms go off or try to input it again within a certain time frame and alarms go off?

Post by Kristi Lynne on Oct 6, 2018 13:12:54 GMT -8
Exactly! Perhaps they could disguise themselves as the cleaning crew. It's doubtful the top brass have ever paid attention or bothered to learn the names of the actual custodians.
And now I also need to think of a cover story to get Moira inside. Either posing as a donor to Roderick's ministry or as a staffer to a friendly Congressman. Alarms going off in the basement would pull his attention away so she can snoop around his office.

He'd be the most badass, pissed off looking custodian ever. XD
So, we technically don't have a big baddie for this RPG. There was, what, one Roderick post? If anyone is interested in picking him up or creating your own version of the leader of the Purifiers taking over Trask, let us know!

Hi everyone, Joe hasn't been on in over a month and there's been nothing posted in Attendance so I'm moving his characters to Inactive. For this RPG, that includes Roderick and Scott. If you had scenes or planned plots with him, please feel free to work on something new here in plots! Again, anybody interested in playing the leader of the Purifiers, let us know! It seems like more of a Supporting Character roll.

Hey my fellow mutants! I think we're about ready for a time jump! I've got just one Maeve post I wanted to do at her home. After that, she's ready! Please let me know when you guys feel Jean, Peter, and Wade are ready for a jump! I'm available to temp-play Charles still if you guys need it! Kristi Lynne Ariel The Jester Of Tortuga

Time jump to next day around the time a normal work day ends is done! So probably like 5 p.m. I didn't put a specific time. Kristi, I'll chat with you on FB about where to start with Moira and Maeve. The rest of you, go forth and have fun! I'll get Maeve over as soon as Kristi and I finish or scene. Reposting the remaining part of the tentative schedule I've figured: Friday - Maeve maintains appearance and goes to work like normal. After work, she'll meet Moira. After their exchange, she'll pop back to the mansion. Logan and Ororo will probably show up later that night (no idea how long it takes back then to travel from Kenya to New York, nowadays, says a bit over 15 hours). They can start planning. Saturday - More planning, hopefully Moira decided to travel from Virginia to New York and shows up if she's decided to join the fun. Saturday night, break Erik out!

The Jester Of Tortuga Peter is down for a scene with Hope! We could have them run into each other, or Peter could check in on her at her dorm to see how she`s been handling things within the past 24 hours. He`s got a lot on his mind, so he will probably want to find a distraction until Logan and Ororo arrive. Perhaps Hope is a little overwhelmed as well with what`s happened to her, and they go cause some mischief somewhere. Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas!

Don’t think so! If they got travel arrangements right away, I think they could be arriving soon. Would have to review my math on a previous post but think I figured they’d be there sometime after Maeve finished work and got there hereself. 😊

Team Free Erik, would you guys be okay with a small time jump in Charles' office? I was thinking it might be tedious to play out all the planning stage. Perhaps we can decide here in plots or in a group FB IM what the role each will have and how they're gonna go about the whole thing. Then pick up the scene with them as if finalizing what they've come up with? The idea everyone seems to like is posing as cleaning staff, which always works! Maeve can teleport herself to near Trask and start collecting stuff they need like uniforms while the rest of the crew take the X-Jet over. I can have Maeve teleport uniforms to wherever they're meeting (it'll be one or two at a time since she's not practiced at teleporting stuff with her but she'll have the time since she's gonna be waiting for everyone to arrive). She can also pop into the cleaning company's office and alter their scheduled crew for that night and "borrow" one of the cleaning crew's logoed vehicles. I'm also gonna have her call or meet up with Moira to let her know when to show so she can sneak in and do her own snooping! As far as the mutant detectors, those don't get turned off with the regular alarm used by the cleaning staff. Those are always on and go off the moment a mutant steps foot into the door. So I was thinking Jean could use her telepathy from the outside to push the code in that will turn off the mutant detectors as well? I'm thinking that Maeve sneaked a peek of Stryker's code as he typed it in the past. Peter can do his quick footed sweep of the floor and disconnect the camera cables. Logan can be waiting for the security guards to emerge from their room of security screens to see what's up and/or can sniff out the location of security guards (I'm thinking there aren't very many cuz I'm thinking Trask Industries is overconfident in their fancy security tech). Maeve will have Sim there in her invisible form, following along and giving them directions and what codes to type or panels to open where. She'll also be popping out for a sec to give Moira the all clear. Regarding the slight time jump, to keep things lined up, that would mean a slight jump for Peter, Hope, and Ororo, maybe to the tour being done and Peter showing Ororo to the room that will be hers? Peter could show back up in Charles' office just in time for the briefing. Let me know what you all think and looking forward to your input. Kristi Lynne Ariel DarkSideCookie Lady Lee-o
