I was just thinking that it would be fitting if it happened not too long before that hotel scene! Let's chat via IM so we don't flood it here for everyone else.

With the approach of marathon, I wanted to offer to temp Secretary Ross. That way we could skip ahead to the group's approach to the Raft and give Hope someone to talk to. Someone lower down the ranks could handle the ship's sighting at first until they find out it's Loki in a stolen Quinjet. Here's a gif of Ross if it helps (it seemed appropriate):

Alrighty, I managed to get my second Hope post out starting the scene in a new place. I'm thinking we might not have to have Drax and Rocket posts every time their turn pops up, unless their players want to. It'll be posts between the three preparing to "put on a show" for when they are hailed by the Raft that will progress the storyline.

I know he's a supporting character only and also a little difficult to find a plot with, but I really miss playing the Grandmaster. XD Anyone possibly has an idea? If not, that's okay, too. Hollywood Heidi Ariel Kristi Lynne Anduin

Copying and pasting this from Whose Turn as it'll disappear as soon as Ross goes.
Regarding the Raft scene, I'm thinking we might need some Ross/Hope/Peter back and forths with only Loki here and there as he's prisoner and the "people in charge" need to work things out. Rocket and Drax don't have to have a turn unless they just wanna chat with each other, as their comms are muted to only hear what's going on on the other end. If you feel differently, let me know know!

I'm fine with taking a step back as Drax as I usually am, lol. He's often just not useful and only a temp anyway.

How do you guys want to proceed with that scene on the Raft? I think we could maybe skip ahead to Hope and Peter meeting with Ross in his office; we don't have to play out the whole landing the jet and disembarking. Do you think guards would escort Loki to a cell downstairs right away? Would they really want to risk letting him talk to anyone before locking him up? At least that way we could get our detained characters back in the mix. Then once Hope and Peter kinda sorta convince Ross of the Thanos threat, they could go down to the cells to meet with Tony, Gamora, and the rest.

Good question. I just did a Mantis post to get all the characters in the cells back into action.
I've been trying to think what all they'd have prepared and in the works whilst the talk is happening in case things don't go smoothly. Things like probably having ants already working their way through the inside of the ship to find the location of certain things belonging to the prisoners that they might need or like crazy ants being at the ready by the cells to fry out the locks, etc.
We don't know exactly how it's gonna go with Ross, so maybe I can leave those details out until we know what we're gonna need the ants to do.
As far as Loki, he's a big source of Thanos info, so maybe he needs to be in the room with them? He can be mostly quiet with Hope and Peter doing the talking and Loki backing up the info. That way it's more believable coming first from Peter and what might have been conveyed to Hope by Team Cap.

I forgot to mention, Kristi Lynne, I left it open/vague on who it was that Mantis had gotten an emotional read on and what it was that she said aloud to everyone. If you'd like it to have been Ross, I leave it up to you what she'd said/revealed based on what you think Ross' general feeling/vibe is over everything he'd heard so far from the prisoners. If you'd rather not, that's totally cool! Ross is so iron clad locked up visually that I can't tell what the dude might be thinking, other than he always looks annoyed/pissed off/over most of the Avengers' antics, lol!

So I need some brainstorming assistance with the Sophie and Nebula in Japan plotline. Like, I kinda know where I want to ultimately go, but I'm not sure how to get there. They're tracking down this Inhuman who can control water and has already flooded a village. I'm thinking eventually they find her hiding in a shrine, and she tries to flood the place to escape. But Nebula can use her shock batons to stun her, sending an electric current through the water. Threat neutralized, call in SHIELD for package pickup... I just need to fill in the gaps.

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Apr 23, 2023 9:51:43 GMT -8
Oh, great idea with the shock batons and water! So you need ideas of how to get from where the scene currently is to finding her in the shrine? Clues on how to figure out where she is? She can only control water, not create it, right? So, something off with bodies of water where she may have traveled or near where she is now. I'm trying to remember; she's not the best at controlling it, right? And she did cause the flooding of a whole village, so her power is pretty strong. Hmm... If she's in a remote area, maybe farms and such, perhaps surrounding farms are complaining of sudden droughts, their wells and fields drying out and irrigation not seeming to work. Or the opposite where wells are overflowing and irrigation systems going off when they shouldn't. If hiding out in a bigger city area, people in the neighborhood having strange plumbing issues. Same as above with either lack of water or things going off when they shouldn't. That all depends on how much lack of control the Inhuman has over their power, or how much they need to or choose to use their power. Another way I've seen them use to find people once they've gotten a general area, is looking at things like electric bills, etc. A house that's supposed to be vacant with a sudden spike in electric bill that shows someone has been squatting there. Or in this Inhuman's case, sudden spike in utility bill, if they're having trouble controlling it and water utilities go off more than they should... Just off the top of my head stuff. Hopefully it'll at least help. Definitely feel free to respond with thoughts and ideas and maybe I can help spin off more from there.

I know we are quite busy with both threads right now, but if anyone playing Guardians is interested in playing some sort of flashback/past scene that takes place around/during the Vol. 2 timeline, not during marathon but sometime in the future let me know. I'd love to play Gamora or Nebula for that scene. Kristi Lynne Hollywood Heidi DarkSideCookie Anduin

Oh my gosh, would there be any chance it being possible to temp play Yondu for said flashback scenes?! In the beginning, back when we started the RPG and weren't set on a timeline, I wanted to play him, but then we said he'd be already dead. *sobs* Ariel

You mean before or after Nebula steals Yondu's ship and crew from him? I don't know if we were told what Nebula did after Guardians 1, but in Guardians 2 she'd been apprehended by the Sovereign. The Guardians were doing a job for the Sovereign in exchange for custody of Nebula. Then when Rocket stole the batteries, the Sovereign enlisted Yondu to go after the Guardians and get them back. While Quill, Gamora, and Drax went off with Ego, Nebula escaped to take out Yondu's arrow controller and convinced the crew to mutiny against him. And then after that whole showdown with Ego, we assume she went after Thanos and was captured by him.

Yah, that’s right. Timing doesn’t work out.
Also, please keep in mind that the two of you have had a lot going on IRL and both of you went over a month on owes last week. You’ve both already got tons of characters and scenes going. Until you can go three months keeping up with what you already have without going over a month on an owe and without missing the one minimum, please try to avoid starting new scenes (unless it’s a scene picking up from a scene you just finished). 😊

Hey all! About my Hope post I just put up, let me know if I'm remembering incorrectly about Hope not having known about the whole New York attack being headed by Thanos. I have her assuming it had all been headed by Loki.
I did a search and perused old posts and couldn't see that Loki or anyone had mentioned that.

So where do we want to go from here, boys and girls? True, Ross had already heard about Thanos and the stones from Jemma and Fitz, and now these newcomers are corroborating their story. The arrival of Loki could give them valuable intel but they could just as easily get that out of him while he's in a cell, not free.
I'll have Ross tell Hope that he is keeping Stark and Banner there for aiding an alien incursion (the ship that crashed in Norway), but Ross also has plenty of reasons for wanting to keep Banner locked up. He did try to kill him and his daughter on more than one occasion. Would he give Hope the benefit of the doubt, or would he assume that she's working with Rogers and the rest of those fugitives? One jailbreak being inspired by another.

Oh man, such a good question. Right now, I have no idea what direction this is going and what they're gonna have to do. I've been thinking on it since marathon and I can't seem to put together any ideas. Usually, I can come up with a few ideas when it comes to plots, but nada on this one. I'm thinking the canvas is too blank still and that maybe we need to roll with it for a couple more posts, see what's said and what characters are thinking? I think the interaction is still a bit too new for Ross to determine all the reasons they're there and Hope hasn't said too much yet, so nothing to point toward her being anything but an unwilling party. Hope and Rogers have had no connection in the past. Hope didn't start working with the Avengers until the team split, and she was strong-armed into doing it as it is, so she definitely has the benefit of seeming truthful in her 'I don't wanna be a part of this' vibe. We just now got Ross to reveal about Team Tony being locked up and Hope is just starting to become more of a participant in the goings on. I think maybe a couple back and forths to see how the conversation goes might give us a better idea of what direction to go; Hope in seeing how seriously Ross is taking what he's learned and/or if anything is already in the works to do something about it, and Ross in maybe getting an idea something might be off in the amount of curiosity a seemingly uninvested Hope is starting to take. Anyone else have any ideas so far? I'd say in the meantime, we can continue the scene to see where it takes us until something sparks.

So we're edging closer to our next plot point at the Raft. I figure we can proceed to a big group conversation at the Cells. I don't think I want Ross (and the military and SHIELD) to be completely antagonistic toward the Avengers and Company, because I think he recognizes based on their history that they're better equipped to handle an intergalactic threat. Maybe it ends up more like "I won't actively help you, but I won't get in your way either"...?

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Jul 29, 2023 12:34:07 GMT -8
That makes sense. I'm totally fine with rolling with it, and based off the things that have happened in the past and that you had Ross point out, it makes sense that they'd be on the same page... so far. We can keep going and see where it goes. Maybe Ross will let them go but maybe he'll agree that it has to look like they broke out so that he can keep his powerful spot with his voice heard and the ear of the governments and military. Or maybe, after grouping together the two teams, he seems like he's taking it too slowly still with all the bureaucracy and red tape and so many layers of crap they have to work through, and they decide breaking out has to be done. Or Ross doesn't verbalize that it's what should be done but there's a silent understanding or push toward what needs to be done.... We'll see what happens. I do have other questions that have been lingering on my mind though regarding Team Tony that I think we need to work out. They all would have had their weapons and basically anything on their person confiscated. It'd be absolutely dumb and useless of the Raft guards to lock up Tony in his suit or have Thor locked up with his hammer, as both could be used to break themselves out. So trying to figure what we should say about those two things. I don't believe we gave details about when they surrendered. At the very least, I'd say it's important that Thor left his hammer behind in New Asgard. Otherwise, he could just summon it to him on the Raft and also, the guards wouldn't have been able to take it from him as they wouldn't have been able to lift it. I mean, he could also have surrendered it and placed it in lock-up as a show of good faith but still, they all know he can just reach out his arm and summon it, so personally, I feel it's best he didn't have it on him when surrendering. As for Tony, maybe he left the suit he'd been wearing behind at New Asgard and surrendered in street clothes? Or when they got to the Raft, he surrendered the suit as a show of good faith as well as to add a lot of weight to the importance of the information they're bringing? Tony - Up to you and what you think he would have done. Either way, let me know. FYI, I don't think he has his portable suits that are all collected into a bracelet type item yet. I think he didn't have the portable bracelet sized ones until he got to work more closely with Wakanda and learn about their advancements in technology including nanotech, which I don't think was until closer to Infinity War? If he left it behind at New Asgard, he could have programmed it to autopilot back home. In that case, I could have had Hope shrink down one of his suits at the Facility and she can have it with her (in an Altoids case of course). XD Let me know your thoughts!
