Just saw that Mantis was up next, but I don't feel her saying anything right now or having enough to react to, so go ahead, Tony! I edited Ariel's Whose Turn and put Mantis at the end of the round robin. We'll see how the scene feels once it loops through again. Wes, I saw your reply in Whose Turn. I'll edit my Hope post and exit everyone to the Living Area then will enter them all at the Living Area and have her do introductions. I'll do that as soon as I can! I'll put it at the top of my owes list so it'll be the first thing I do when I get a chance to write again.

I was going to do a Mantis post since I skipped last time, but reading through everything once again since she last posted, there's just not enough for her to react to and/or comment on, so I'm gonna put her at the back of the list again. I'll edit the whose turn post. Ariel you're up next with Gamora!

Thought I'd do a post here just so nothing is lost for anyone in the chat. We're considering what to do for the group at Avengers HQ and those at the Raft. Totally up to everyone as to what they/their character would prefer. Was thinking that those at Avengers HQ could easily begin their side of the assault/peaceful approach to the prison if those at the Raft felt they were reaching a natural conclusion? Whatever happens, it's obviously gonna involve lots (if not all) of us so probs makes sense for us just to double check on here we're all on same page for what happens next x

I don't mind helping with getting them trying to get an audience with the powers that be, even if it means having to have Hope step in somehow. Perhaps we can say that with Tony currently locked up, the powers that be will reach out to Hope to temporarily take lead at Avengers Facility and she can use that as a stepping stone to pretend to try to find out why and what's happening? Maybe they see if Hope can step in to get more information out of Tony and his gang, thinking that since she's been working closely with him, she'd have better luck? Fury's plan would totally still be needed since we know this is gonna be way too slow of a process. So if they decide to fly her in to the Raft, the others can be waiting for her to give them the go. She'll already be on the inside, so she can get things rolling there whilst the others "bring in the prisoners". Another idea is that she reaches out to the higher ups, saying she's been trying to reach Tony but having no luck, wanting to report that she'd followed some leads on the war criminals. They're about to close in and she's been trying to get the go-ahead and to plan where to have them taken, but can't seem to reach Tony. They could instruct her to bring them to the Raft. Only problem there is that the awesome heist to get the device that can locate the Raft goes to waste, so perhaps, they give her instructions to bring them elsewhere where a team will be waiting. They can go to that elsewhere and overtake the waiting team, switching out those guys with their team and taking their waiting transportation. Due to the secrecy of the Raft's location, we can just assume only one of the people on their team knew the coordinates and since they've temporarily taken them captive, of course the person isn't going to talk, so that makes the device very important. As far as this waiting team that they're going to incapacitate, we can have one or some of the NPC's staying with them to be sure they don't escape/find a way to make contact before they're done? This is all just ramblings off the top of my work exhausted head to get the ball rolling and get us out of this stalemate. Please feel free to give whatever input and ideas you all have and we'll work something out!

Maybe for reasons of plot management, Fury can tap into the sec cameras and see that Team Tony hasn't convinced the higher ups so Hope convinces them that they need to instead before attempting prison break. Avengers HQ team can still do the initial steps of the plan to locate and get into the prison as they know the higher ups in question will be brought there by the apparent capture of Cap and the others. Once the team is in the prison, they can either rescue Team Tony and then talk to higher ups or reverse order. That way, they'll either convince them and everyone parts ways on a united front or there will be a disagreement which could result in more of a prison break scenario?

I guess the difficulty for me is figuring out who Jemma should be reporting to. She's gathering intel, but to whom does she have to make her case? It's not Coulson or Fury. Is it Martin Freeman's character? I don't even know his name or official title.

Martin Freeman's character is Everett Ross who works for the CIA. I'd guess that Jemma would be probs reporting to Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross. (Same surname weirdly but no connection) as he seems to fill the SHIELD void from Civil War onwards in the MCU. He's not a big superhero fan and I guess would make sense storywise for him to be dubious of any info they try and convince him of.

Cool, thanks for the info! SHIELD leadership does have an awful lot of turnover, doesn't it? I may have to beg you to temp Coulson or Fitz just to have someone to be Jemma's sounding board.

I suppose it would be rather selfish to ask for a Fitz, but ... I think that's who Jemma would feel more comfortable discussing her options with. I fear the presence of a resurrected Coulson would just make things worse with Stark and Thor. And perhaps Fitz is the one who suggests reaching out to Hope, thinking that Hope is the one person who could get the better of Tony and that she's still obligated to them because of what Scott did with their tech in Germany.

Cool cool. Yea I'd agree with all that I'm a big fan of the show. Fitz and May are my faves so should be fine writing bits for him. I'm not entirely sure what the process is for temp stuff. Would I apply for a character like normal?

Oh, thank you so much, that would be great! And no, you don't need to submit an app for a temp character. Heidi said she could set up a temp header for the character that you can use. I'm sure she'll get to it when she recovers from this crazy work week. So could something in what Thor just said trigger Jemma to review what happened during their capture in Norway? Like, he mentioned the Milano and the Guardians and Loki, but none of that was seen by those who were on scene due to Loki's shielding barrier. I'm just trying to think of some clue or something that would prompt them to reach out to Hope.

Yea that could be a good shout. Fitz could be on board the Raft just handling something other than the interrogations. With Thor confirming about Norway and the Milano, Fitz's skills in engineering could help him locate the Milano using satellite imagery to track it's flight path to discover Hope's team at the Avenger's HQ. That could then lead to Jemma contacting Hope at that base. I'm not sure the higher ups would be convinced only on the information Thor revealed but it'd certainly be a start for them to discovering the truth with the other group. Maybe Jemma finding out Fury is with Hope's group could be the final thing she needs to believe them?

Post by Kristi Lynne on Jan 1, 2021 18:32:41 GMT -8
Actually, the Milano was shrunken by Hope after its crash landing (much to Peter's chagrin) and their group escaped capture in a miniaturized vehicle. I don't think we discussed exactly how they got from Norway to NY, but we'll assume it was another miniature vehicle in Hope's Hot Wheels set. That's why I'm kind of racking my brain to come up with any sort of lead that they could find because right now there's really no trail to follow.
Or it could be a simple matter of Fitz suggesting that Pym tech would be a feasible way to penetrate the invisible barrier, once they've established that it's there and that there's likely a bunch of Asgardian refugees hiding within it. They don't have to follow through on it, but that could be another reason to reach out to Hope.

Gotcha. Yea I think you're right then. It wouldn't be too much of a leap for them to think of Pym. And yea, they could reach out to Hope to just ask questions and then perhaps realise that she may be more involved than they first anticipated. I've been watching some Fitz and Simmons scenes to remind myself how he talks. Gonna be fun to do their rapid speed back and forth lol

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Jan 2, 2021 9:42:46 GMT -8
Yup, Hope used Pym Particles to shrink the Milano (queue pouty Quill, lol). They drove away from New Asgard in a miniature Jeep. We time jumped them back to NY, so during the time jump, stuff that wasn't played out was that she switched the Jeep to normal size when they were far enough from New Asgard, they got back on Tony's jet (that Tony, Hope, and Nat had taken to get to New Asgard), and Hope flew Team Hope back to NY.
You guys did hit on a good question with the missing Milano. There was no Milano at the New Asgard scene. There might have been the ship that the New Asgardians took to get to Earth maybe? Or we can say that was gone also and that there were no ships. Either way, Jemma could key in on that and ask Thor or whoever where the ship is he and these other new people arrived on. And/or they could review whatever feeds the government uploaded from the New Asgard incident. Maybe miniaturized vehicles and tech don't usually show up but there could kinda be very few, insignificant blink-and-you-miss-it blips that are brushed off as glitches if anyone besides the genius-minded Jemma or Fitz happened to even noticed them.
With the right questions and discussions, could be that when Jemma and Fitz talk, they piece together that there must have been others involved and who would have the ability to slip passed an onslaught of military personnel? Looking into Tony's jet logs in airport database (I honestly have no idea how flight stuff works, but I'm assuming there's logs of take-offs and arrivals locations and times), they can see it had gotten clearance from NY to New Asgard, but if Tony's in custody, who flew it back to NY?
Jemma and Fitz could keep this info to themselves and contact Hope before deciding if they should or shouldn't bring this information to the higher-ups.

Jemma did just have Thor excused and the guards escorting him out, so I think it's up to you if you want to wait for a Thor post or just go ahead and mention Thor being escorted out of the room at the start of your post. Not sure when Anduin will be on next.

So I guess FitzSimmons can use satellites to track Stark's plane back to the Avengers HQ, but that still wouldn't tell them who was actually on the plane. With all the talk of Pym particles, they would know that the Civil War events in Germany put Hank Pym in trouble with the Sokovia Accords and that Scott Lang is on house arrest after his breakout from the Raft. I think for all intents and purposes, Hope is just assumed to be the corporate face of Pym Tech. At least I don't think anyone currently at SHIELD would know about her being the Wasp. Which would make her someone they reach out to for info.
Sorry if this is thinking out loud. With this character, I'm having to break down the plot points into bite-sized pieces.

No problem at all! I always feel like I'm bugging everyone by breaking down every little detail so I'm more than happy to help out when someone else wants to do some plot figuring out!
Little bit more tricky stuff to throw in the mix. I had mentioned that Stark's plane wasn't landed at HQ but at the airport where they'd taken off. Nat took off on her own from there and the rest of them drove to HQ from the airport. I wasn't sure, way back when I was planning it, if Stark would be flying his own jet in or out of HQ. But if they're tracking the trace of gamma and are able to still follow the path of the tiny Milano during the whole route to the airport, I don't see how they wouldn't be able to trace it from airport to HQ.
Now that the Milano has been restored to its rightful size, would the gamma be way more detectable? Or does it fade? Figured maybe if they follow the trace of it, even if it does fade off or they lose track of it somewhere, then could do a search of the general area it was last picked up and they'd see the much larger reading by the now normal sized Milano?
Seeing it's coming from Avengers Facility hangar, they could just roll the dice and video call the Avengers Facility just to see what happens. When Hope answers, I think they can easily make the Pym Particles connection right there.
Not sure if they have the ability to hack the security system like Fury did? I think that might be too easy. Maybe Tony made sure it was really secure but since he trusted Fury, allowed Fury access to the system to explain how it was that Fury was able to tap in and see what was going on before arriving.

With Fury hacking the Avengers system, I figured that Fury was part of building the place so would have an easier time hacking into it.
When the Milano returned to normal size, there would be another slight burst of radiation in the spot it returned to normal size so they could still track it to that point (I'm assuming the hanger?)
I think in the near future, lots of arrows will be pointing them to Avengers HQ and anything Pym related. Yea, they could easily get on the phone to them all.

Omg. Totally didn't think how there'd be another burst when putting the Milano back to normal size. Big DUH on my part. Thanks, Tech Expert Wes! I'm fine with however you two wish to proceed.

Okay, Heidi's right: There should be an appearance of the Mad Titan since he didn't appear for a long (RL) time now. ^^ DarkSideCookie ArielI thought about it a bit and got an idea, maybe. My (inactive) OC Kyrin might told his 'father' about the Grandmaster and also Nebula... So what do you think about Thanos visiting the Grandmaster to have a 'little chit chat' with that guy? ^^ (Not sure where this would end, to be honest, but definitely an interesting conversation.) [Hm, now that I think about this, I'm also considering to get Kyrin back into the Play. He could be the one who gets the advise to search for Nebula and disturb one of your Andro/Nebula-moments... What do you think?]

Anduin Not sure about a Thanos/Grandmaster scene tbh. At least, I feel like we should discuss more of a plot or potential ending if such a meeting because I want the Grandmaster to be still alive lol. Also, Ariel and I had talked about another scene between Nebula and the Grandmaster. Do you remember what we've said? I'm sorry, I forgot about that I guess, or just need a little refresher. As for Andro/Nebula: Maybe at a later time? Right now, I don't like to interrupt their scene. XD I'm too much enjoying that they actually TALK in the bar.

Also, I'm not 100% sure about the rules here, but I think you would first have to request the reactivation of an inactive character anyway, right? Not saying that you can't, just wanted to bring that up in case you're not able to take on a (new) character.

Yes, I know that you're in a current scene. I was thinking about a later one. ^^ And if you'd agree, I'll start a request to reactivate the Char when we'd be ready for a new scene.
(Sorry for the little misunderstanding °^^)

Hollywood Heidi DarkSideCookie Kristi Lynne wesleybucks ArielOkay, does anyone of you have a cool idea for Thanos? ^^ (I've to admit that it's a bit difficult because I mostly created him as a supportive character for Lee-o's Hela...) So, Thanos doesn't posses the Tesseract in our version. (Loki still got it.) But right now he got the Orb and maybe already the Aether - am I right? (Just thinking about his possibilities if he wants to use some of the stones...)

I guess it depends on what the plan is for Thanos in the main storyline. Is there an idea in place for Thanos' next objective? How aware of the location of the stones is he? If there are stones for which he knows the location, he'd probs get on that. For any he doesn't know, I assume he'd be trying to hunt them down.
