crowsicle | Ruby City HGW - Plotting post for the showdown with Sephiroth where Davesprite dies!

OUTLINE SO FAR:

> Xion and Dave (Team Sabersprite), on the basis of Waver's previous post about Team Seph, engage them when they see Sephiroth patrolling the city by air. They decide to try to lure Seph into a more secluded area but only make it as far as the stables.
> The fight begins - Davesprite vs. Sephiroth, with Xion and Elena on the sidelines.
> WHILE THAT IS HAPPENING, Xion contacts Waver and Lamont (Team Eyebrows and Hair)
> Waver then contacts Roxy (Team Robots), and Saber (Team Big Guns). Roxy contacts Dirk.
> Team Eyebrows and Hair arrive on scene.
> Triple tagging between Davesprite, Seph, and Waver. Lamont uses a Command Seal on Waver to give him a boost.
> Xion and Lamont are well out of the way, and likely also discussing things.
> THE FATAL BLOW IS STRUCK
> Elena uses a Command Seal to keep Sephiroth from going after Xion.
> Team Robots and Team Big Guns arrive just in time to see that happen. (Is Waver out of commission at this point as well?) I guess this is where they step in to keep Sephiroth busy while...
> Davesprite dies (three-way thread with Xion and Dirk).
> Sephiroth uses Supernova, and Tieria likely also uses his Noble Phantasm. Seph and Elena get away while everyone else scatters.

I THINK MOSTLY WE GOTTA DECIDE 1) how it happens 2) why it happens. aaand 3) what day!
sᴀʙᴇʀsᴘʀɪᴛᴇ
Well Waver is going to announce that Sephiroth is bad news after their fight
sᴀʙᴇʀsᴘʀɪᴛᴇ
Their first fight, I mean
sᴀʙᴇʀsᴘʀɪᴛᴇ
I think it's up to you and I, Emily, whether or not Xion and Davesprite actually volunteer
νяιѕкα
god
νяιѕкα
xion KNOWS sephiroth is bad news, too, Zack warned her.... but that might be all the more reason to volunteer and try to stop him
sᴀʙᴇʀsᴘʀɪᴛᴇ
Davesprite might sit there very quiet and serious for a while before pointing out that he can fly
sᴀʙᴇʀsᴘʀɪᴛᴇ
If flying is a thing that might help
νяιѕкα
xion is just like
νяιѕкα
we should stop him but oh god what if he hurts you no maybe we shouldn't do this but no he still has to be stopped
sᴀʙᴇʀsᴘʀɪᴛᴇ
Pretty much Davesprite's thoughts on the matter
νяιѕкα
maybe what they do is go scouting for him without intending to fight and end up running right into him and feeling like they have to?
sᴀʙᴇʀsᴘʀɪᴛᴇ
Yeah maybe, that makes sense
sᴀʙᴇʀsᴘʀɪᴛᴇ
Maybe they even decide to hold the fort themselves until Waver/any other backup gets there?
νяιѕкα
oh god. and just, the backup doesn't arrive in time to save davesprite's life?
νяιѕкα
if there IS backup on the way, that might be for the best, since in the wake of his death xion may or may not attempt something really stupid and try and go after him herself..........
sᴀʙᴇʀsᴘʀɪᴛᴇ
XION NO THAT'S NOT OKAY
sᴀʙᴇʀsᴘʀɪᴛᴇ
DO YOU KNOW WHAT SEPHIROTH DOES TO NICE GIRLS
sᴀʙᴇʀsᴘʀɪᴛᴇ
Ugh maybe I should've made like an actual plotting journal entry
νяιѕкα
ask her if she cares, the boy she loves just got brutally slaughtered in front of her, yo. AND WE COULD DO BOTH?
sᴀʙᴇʀsᴘʀɪᴛᴇ
We might actually need to with the number of people directly and indirectly involved
νяιѕкα
that'd work for me. and backup would mean someone could drag xion away before she did something really dumb and take care of her while she was out of it for a couple hours!
sᴀʙᴇʀsᴘʀɪᴛᴇ
I know Fiona would actually like Dirk to show up in time for last words
νяιѕкα
dirk you made the plurk, want i should make the post?
sᴀʙᴇʀsᴘʀɪᴛᴇ
Oh! If you want
sᴀʙᴇʀsᴘʀɪᴛᴇ
I was just about to
νяιѕкα
haha if you wanna don't let me stop you YOU'VE BEEN THE MAN WITH A PLAN MOST OF ALL THIS STUFF
sᴀʙᴇʀsᴘʀɪᴛᴇ
Well
sᴀʙᴇʀsᴘʀɪᴛᴇ
My plan in this case was to c/p everything in this plurk to a journal entry and then be like "HELP SOMEONE WHO IS GOOD AT THINGS HELP ME"
νяιѕкα
hahahahahaha
νяιѕкα
i think that's a good idea
νяιѕкα
and then we need to toss it at everyone who might want to be involved
sᴀʙᴇʀsᴘʀɪᴛᴇ
Yes
sᴀʙᴇʀsᴘʀɪᴛᴇ
Okay let me do that then

MORE THAN LIKELY she'll be contacting him the next morning! he'll undoubtedly hear about it - MEG, IS THE FIGHT AND SUBSEQUENT DEATH GETTING ANNOUNCED BY ANYONE? - but Xion will disappear shortly after the fight's conclusion. No one will be able to find her until the following morning, at which point she will get in touch with Eren via watch.

I WILL CONFIRM WITH FEL ABOUT THIS. OOC we will be announcing it at the bottom by-line on whatever the day's mod post will be.

HAHA YOU BEAT ME TO IT. okay! if no one does it ICly, then I request permission for Xion to do it. She'll be in the state of mind to make that happen.

I'm actually inclined to encourage Xion to do it, since I think it works better on a displaying interpersonal relationships impacted by Grail War level.

oh man

oh man oh man IT'S CHRISTMAS UP IN HERE!

fuck yes. thank you kindly.

Perfect. We'd need you to ideally do it the day after the fight, even if the thread isn't complete, if that's cool?

Experience tells me this'll take a while to finish.

that's totally fine with me! I'd want it to be chronologically fitting too, so my personal preference would be the day after the fight. sounds perfect!
