Noice. Cheers for the MCU catchup that's really helpful. Ok, so what I'm thinking is, after the events of Winter Soldier Fury is trying to keep a much lower profile. Only getting involved for things like Age of Ultron. He'll obviously be keeping an eye out though and will have spotted Tony and the others having 'issues' at the Raft. Despite not knowing that Thanos is the cause, he'll know something is up. It may be going against plans you already have in place so let me know if this is too far but: Fury can hack into the Raft CCTV and see that Team SHIELD don't seem to be playing ball with Team Tony as of yet. Fury seems ideal to contact Team Hope and get any details he needs from them. He could then enlist Team Hope in his attempts to break Team Tony out of the raft and bring together anyone else they can to prepare for what's coming. Fury isn't a fighter so isn't really going to be leading them into battle on the front lines exactly but I think he's pretty ideal to assemble them and get them to where they need to be with whatever they need to accomplish their task? Cool cool cool cool cool. (Continuing the Brooklyn Nine-Nine reference) XD Fury is your character so it's totally up to you if you want him to first go to Team Hope at the Avengers Facility (maybe he can use Tony's fancy computers there to do the Raft CCTV hacking) and get the story from her, since it'd be way harder to track down the Raft for some clarity when the Avengers Facility is always in the same place. Even though Fury has been keeping low profile, I'm sure he's been keeping his eyes eye and ears open and probably picked up chatter or got reports of Tony and some people being taken in but without fancy tech, maybe he decides to go to Avengers Facility to learn what's up. Since Hope isn't officially an Avenger or SHIELD agent, she doesn't have any clearance levels so her tech savviness probably wouldn't help with locating the Raft when she knows hardly anything about it. Team Hope is in the dark regarding the progress of Team Tony. Fury could be a huge help with that. We actually didn't have too many solid plans in place. In fact, we hadn't decided if we were or weren't going to break them out yet. We were just playing by ear as we'd just started with the interrogations. But breaking them out was definitely something brought up as a potential plot! I think mostly it was Nebula who was batting around the idea of breaking out her sister. As good as she is, I don't think it's a task easily done by one or a few without fancy tech to even figure out where the Raft currently is. You could even have Fury visit with Team Hope, then go to the Raft to see if he could talk some sense into the powers that be on behalf of Team Tony, and if that doesn't go as planned, then we do a break-out. Since Jemma is there with hints of Coulson possibly nearby, I'm thinking the quinjet is on hand, so Fury could even talk the Agents of SHIELD people into it...

Awesome. Sounds good. In which case, I think a quick visit to Team Hope in an attempt to gain info and rally the troops then on to the raft. Shall get on it in the morning x

Oh, Fury is gonna' be so happy to meet Quill, I can just imagine. So what is the current status of the Infinity Stones? I assume Thanos did get the one being kept on Xandar, and possibly the one kept by the Collector at Knowhere. Leaving the time one with Dr. Strange and the mind one with Vision, here on Earth. Did Loki still have the Tesseract in New Asgard? Sorry, I can't remember.

Yes, Loki has the tesseract. We saw him with it at the beginning of Infinity War. He was using his trickster ability to "hide" it. So I'm assuming in our RPG, he has it. Maybe Anduin had even mentioned Loki having it? I can't remember offhand but it's definitely familiar! So that means there are three stones on Earth. Definitely a reason for Thanos to come calling! I'm wondering if we should do a time jump to the next day, probably morning, at the Avengers Facility to make a little bit of a time buffer between them having shortly gotten back there and Fury arriving? I think they're probably at a good point right now to do that. There's a lot of characters at the Facility but a total of only three players right now, so I'm going to IM Kristi and Anduin to see if I can do that right now really quickly. Kristi Lynne Anduin

Phew!! Okay, we finished the scene, did a little time jump to morning, I created the hangar location thread, and got the time jump headings posted. Got a Hope post up also! wesleybucks if you don't mind waiting a little with Fury, Kristi and I were hoping to do one or two Hope and Peter back and forths before he or any of the other Peter's team walks in. Kristi just went to sleep (it was already 3 a.m. for her) and I'm heading up also. Hate the time difference! But we'll both concentrate on that scene as soon as we're up so that you can get Fury in the picture!

I just hope that we'll alternate the Thanos plot at some point. I wouldn't like to just play out what happened in Infinity War and Endgame, heh.. Also, my OC Andro is going to get the Infinity Stones as well. Not sure, if he ever would manage to get one, but could be interesting as that would definitely change things. I know that we're still far from that whole plot anyway, but just felt like I had to throw that in, lol. Hope you don't mind.

I don't think we'll just be playing out what happens in Infinity War and Endgame. We're already way off script cuz we started before those movies. But sure, it's totally fine that Andro would be trying to get the stones himself! He just has to be sure he doesn't physically handle them cuz then bye-bye Andro. XD I'm sure Nebula might be able to give him more details on the workings and dangers of the stones? We're almost ready for Fury! I just IM'd Kristi to see if she wanted to get one more Peter post in before we step away from easygoing calmness and into action. SO HAPPY WE HAVE A CAP!!! He's my favorite. So far, we haven't mentioned him too much so it's mostly up to you, wesleybucks where Cap's been and what he's been doing up until now. However, right now, we did say that Cap and his team are currently in Wakanda. Hope had made that call from the phone Steve left for Tony and Scott had picked up the other end from Wakanda. So Cap and his team could have been hiding out there, or have just recently ended up there to check up on Bucky, or maybe it's the place they go to between vigilante outings... We had a Scott player for a hot minute, which is why we had him answering the other end of that phone instead of Cap. No need to go and track down and read the phone convo scene. Here's just Hope's dialogue portion that Scott would have conveyed to Cap in some manner: "We have a serious, fate-of-the-world problem on our hands. Tony's in government custody along with Thor and a few others. They're going to try to convince them of the oncoming threat but we all know how reasoning with the government can go. Time is not on our side. I need you to tell Steve Rogers that we need him and his team back at the Avengers Facility. Everyone he can get to help. As fast as possible but discreetly. We can't afford anyone else getting taken into custody. If Steve has any questions, tell him to call this phone."Then she hung up on Scott's Ant-Man suit stealing ass. XD

Oh, one more thing wesleybucks. There's a Request a New Location thread in the OOC section. Let me know if you want me to create a location. We do have one, overall Wakanda location. We didn't break it down into smaller areas as there weren't any active characters there (except for Scott). Feel free to use that if you want to play out Scott giving Cap the information. If we don't have a player for a character (like Scott), we'll usually just write them into our own post with back-and-forth dialogue. Sure, it's kinda like talking to yourself or writing a story rather than RP'ing, but it's still fun. Or you could always ask if someone wants to temp-play. We don't always get someone to bite, but sometimes we do. If you'd prefer to not play that out and start with them travelling over, that's perfect fine! I can create a ship thread. One of the high tech Wakanda ships would definitely be helpful in allowing them to get around undetected. If you'd rather wait until it's the time Cap and his team would be arriving at the Avengers Facility, that works, too! Totally up to you where you want to start.

wesleybucks we're all ready for Fury to show up! Thank you SO MUCH for waiting so patiently for us! Very much appreciated. I just realized we might be a wee bit wonky with the dates. Cap's breaking into the Treehouse December 24th to get the Raft information, but Tony and Co. didn't get to New Asgard until January 1st and got taken in later that day. So unless it's a crazy random happenstance that Fury knew they'd need the Raft stuff, we probably need to tweak the date. Nat was at New Asgard with the group and had gone back with Team Hope but she said her goodbyes and took off right when Team Hope landed back in NY. The person playing her dropped her so it was the easiest way to get her out of the picture so we didn't have to keep mentioning her and also kinda a Nat thing to do. She always seemed to have a connection with Fury, so she very well could have taken off to collaborate with Fury, maybe even called or sent a message to meet with him directly upon landing, explaining her quick retreat. Nat knowing what's going on since she was at New Asgard to hear it all but not telling Cap also totally fits if Fury asked her not to yet. Nat and Fury could have immediately jumped into action. She could have gone out right away to meet up with Cap to get going on the Treehouse heist. Considering travel time and all that, maybe January 2nd, which would match up with the current date at the Avengers Facility and probably the current date at the Raft after Team Tony were transported there, settled in, and then put to questioning. Lemme know your thoughts!

Yea I'd thought about that too. In the most recent Cap post in Wakanda, after Scott tells Cap about the phone call from Hope, it says: Fortunately, Steve had heard what he needed. Tony, Thor and others had been captured. This meant this wasn't the Sokovia Accords. This was something else. Fury had known something like this was happening. This was why he'd sent Steve, Scott, Nat and Sam to the Treehouse to find the locator that could track the Raft prison
When Cap and his group went to the Treehouse for the tracker, Fury had told them they would be breaking someone out of the Raft and they'd need to locate it but he didn't say who. In terms of correcting timelines, was thinking could be someone else at the Raft that needed rescuing which was Fury's target. Now that the others are there too, it's another reason to head there. Could be a way of introducing a non-powered Reed Richards as he's studied the stones in the comics. So possibly:
- Dr Reed Richards is studying infinity stones and hacks into SHIELD databases for intel. This is picked up by both Fury and the military but the military get there first and take him to the Raft for questioning - Events with Hope and the guardians ship arriving - Fury contacts Cap and enlists him to break into the Treehouse to get the Raft prison locator. Cap's group go this and get the locator. They return to Wakanda - Tony's group are taken to the Raft prison - Hope phones Scott in Wakanda and tells him about Tony. Scott passes this on to Cap. - Fury goes to Avengers facility in the hopes of enlisting Hope's help - Cap's group travel to the Avenger's facility and meet up with the others - The group use the locator to find the Raft prison to rescue Tony's group and Reed Richards.
Lemme know what you think. I'll still do the Fury post in the meantime as won't have any real impact yet on the above.

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Aug 23, 2020 11:31:09 GMT -8
Yah, that seems to work out perfectly! Since we don't actually have a Reed Richards, we could easily say he was moved elsewhere to keep separated from and/or clear the space for the new arrivals.

FYI to Rocket, Groot, Drax, Loki: Hope had Friday ask them to convene in the Living Area. Not sure where you guys will be starting off your characters, so I didn't do a Friday post anywhere. Feel free to start them off in the Living Area after having got the message, or let me know if you want me to create a new location for their guest quarters or wherever they've been.

Okay, thanks. I'd say we should be fine to start them off directly in the living area thread then. I'll see if I can start with a Drax post soon. Hollywood Heidi Anduin

Marvel Cinematic Universe RPGThor to the others Hollywood Heidi Ariel DarkSideCookie Maybe Mantis and Gamora should change their turns? (just an idea because Mantis could have more to say if Gamora first answers Thor's question at the end of the post) ^^ I'm going to skip Mantis' turn this round. She's more the observer type, so I'll probably have her pipping up and making observations less often than everyone else. The round robin was left out so I can't remember the order. Please everyone, remember to keep it there in Whose Turn. I want to keep going with writing rather than looking up that thread and recreating the list. Whoever was after Mantis, please go next.

Added the new round robin for this thread in the original whose turn post. Next is Gamora then. Ariel
Here's a little advice how to not forget to post the order, or how I do. Just copy and paste the whose turn post you're replying to and then alter it and place your own character at the end of the round robin. :-)
Heidi, if you feel like not posting for Mantis after Gamora, just let us know. I feel like that often with Drax over at our other team lol. Hollywood Heidi

Oh, I thought it was Mantis' turn unless Anduin's comment about Gamora and Mantis changing had the turns mixed up? I'll wait to see a Gamora post before I decide on whether or not a Mantis post fits.

It was! I just swapped their turns as I wasn't sure if you wanted to just do as Anduin suggested or completely skip her until next round robin. :-)

jfi so that nobody wonders why I still haven't answer Kristi Lynne 's Jemma-Request: I want to wait until DarkSideCookie wrote a Bruce and/or Tony Post in the cells because it's easier for me to write my character's posts chronological. So first Tony should be brought back to the cells before Thor is 'invited' to Jemma's room.

So a good chunk of today when I should have been working, I've been thinking about Nick Fury's plan of infiltrating the Raft. Pretty excited about it! Wanted to check with u guys whether u wanted to discuss it on here first or whether Fury could say it in the thread for characters to then chip in ideas and make amendments?
|
|

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Nov 14, 2020 9:48:18 GMT -8
Hm, it's always good to discuss at least a little bit so we're not going in with a huge, broad plot point but maybe people having different Endgames (see what I did there?) in mind. I think Hope would definitely be all for it, but she'd first want to be sure that Team Tony wasn't having any luck getting them to listen and/or things weren't really moving. They were going to attempt to first do this the right way, explain what's going on, get the government's cooperation and back-up cuz it'd be way easier to fight Thanos with all forces backing them up and to also not have to worry about being in hiding. But you know how things go with the government. If they do get them to back them, it'll be a snail's pace and probably not worth sticking around, so I'm sure a break-out will be needed! But we'd have to figure out how they could check on the progress before doing something that will be turning them all into war criminals. We could always make use of Pym particles. Perhaps get one, two, or all of them in in shrunken size. Maybe there are vents or something open when The Raft is surfaced. Since they'd all be on the run after that, they probably can't be at the Avengers Facility anymore. Kinda obvious. So I was thinking they could hide out in Hank and Hope's Pym building from Ant-Man and the Wasp. Use that idea that they could shrink the building and bring it anywhere. I wondered how the heck they are able to maintain things like electricity and plumbing but hey, the movie ignored that so I guess we can, too. XD Oooooor, We could still keep the Avengers Facility and give that the Pym Particle treatment. I can't picture a great place to hide something so huge, other than in Wakanda. They seem to have some big, open areas. I think I'd have to say that the Pym Particle conversion of the Facility is something Hope had been working on for some time. But I kinda like the Pym building idea cuz then Hope would be able to assist with the Quantum portal on the side. They could always just move both. Figure if Hope is gonna go rouge and it's obvious Pym Particles were used in the break-out, then she's getting her father in trouble, too. Just like Scott did to Hank and Hope. *glare* XD

Love the idea of Pym HQ building being used as their HQ after any infiltration times. I reckon given how Cap and Fury are now, they'd be pretty against working alongside the government and would be much more up for black ops type infiltration of the Raft but I'm sure they could be persuaded lol. Essentially the idea I was thinking of would be Cap, Rocket and Drax being manacled up and sent in as 'prisoners'. They'd be the choices as Rocket and Drax won’t be able to fit into SHIELD uniforms and that Cap is one of their most wanted fugitives so having him there will mean soldiers far more likely to be happy to let them in. Loki and Peter would wear the SHIELD uniforms and pose as guards bringing in the soldiers. Hope and Scott could shrink down inside Rocket's manacles (he has the smallest hands so they'd have the most space there) and they'd have the equipment to break the manacles open with them to use when grown again. Fury would operate comms and surveillance assistance off site whilst Widow and Falcon stay ready with the escape route whilst our guys go rescue the prisoners? I've got a more detailed version that Fury could say at some point but that's the rough idea I'd thought of

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Nov 14, 2020 12:27:02 GMT -8
Oh, that is a GREAT idea! Fun, tense, awkward Hope/Scott times having to stow away tiny-sized in a little manacle area! XD I mean, they could also hide in Rocket's fur like little flees, lmao! Remember not to scratch when you feel the pull of them holding on to your fur, Rocket! XD
Fury operating comms and perhaps Widow and Falcon staying with the jet, pretending to do maintenance, refill tanks, prepare to leave once the other two "SHIELD agents" finish processing the new arrivals. Ready to immediately fire it up for a quick escape. Or since they're also wanted, maybe they're hiding on the jet and/or the Raft people have no idea there were more than the two agents escorting the fugitives. We don't actually have players for them, so we can just have someone make mention of what's going on with them in their post.
We also need to keep in mind that they might be extra leery of keeping Cap secured. Remember, he'd already broken people out of the Raft before. So either they're extra careful or maybe one or two of the Raft crew actually are suspicious of this whole thing? Makes for some more fun drama!
Now we don't wanna leave the only other active character behind. Kristi, got any ideas for Jemma? Perhaps she's the one who happens to walk into the holding unit for whatever reason you'd like just at the right time to catch them breaking the prisoners out of their cells?

Post by Kristi Lynne on Nov 14, 2020 13:05:42 GMT -8
All great ideas, for sure! I think like you said, Jemma (or any of the Raft crew) would be wary of Cap just showing up. He's been on the run, he's evaded them this long, and he's coming back to a place he already broke out of willingly? Major red flags about some ulterior motive. Perhaps some SHIELD protocols have been put in place since that last incident that raise suspicions about the fake SHIELD personnel. Hehe, Peter and Loki working together -- "Let's do get help!" "No, I'm not doing get help!"

I think maybe you guys are right about Cap. Perhaps then, once the group have their plan formulated at Avengers HQ, perhaps they could stage an event that results in the capture of Cap, Rocket and Drax? Even could involve some illusions on the part of Loki. They would just need to make sure that Loki and Peter are on hand to be amongst the SHIELD agents that 'capture' them. If they make it hard enough to capture Cap just so it doesn't look like he handed himself over?
I was thinking that Carla Smith, Fury's secretary in the comics when he was Director of SHIELD, could still be on SHIELD's payroll yet still in contact with Fury. He's been moving her up the ladder for some time and she's now in charge of resource allocation for a SHIELD base (maybe the Torch). She could arrange for a Quinjet to be sent out to be nearby when fake Cap attack goes off so it's the first one on the scene. SHIELD Agent James Davis (been on SHIELD TV show before) is a pilot and friend of Fury's so could be him flying it?

That could work! Could be they have to do it that way not just cuz Cap's infiltrated and broken people out of there before but also, even though they have the device that can locate the Raft, it still doesn't mean that they'd be able to get easily on board. I believe the Raft usually stays submerged as an extra security measure, so they'd need a reason for them to surface. Bringing in a newly captured Cap and whoever else would definitely be a reason for them to have to surface.
I think they might feel confident in locking Cap up there. Cap wasn't locked up there himself. He'd sneaked on board and broken the people out. Could be they still have confidence in their actual cells being able to hold Cap. I think a certain little ant and wasp sized duo capable of getting into small locks and such will have them reassessing their confidence in the cells.. XD
