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

I know that Saber is going to be alerted of Davesprite's death via Waver.

She's gonna really want to go after Sephiroth if that's all good.

So, this fight is going to have a LOT of moving parts.

For that reason, I'm going to definitely say that we need to outline things: what is happening, and we should break it down into specific threads that will have two - maybe three - people tagging at a time, to make sure that we get the ball rolling. From a mod perspective, I need to know the final outcome of the fight so I can circulate that information to everyone accordingly, and from a sanity perspective, it helps to know where you're aiming.

To get an idea of what I have in mind, I'm going to link a fight post that I took part of in a smaller Grail War game.

Will Eren be contacted by Xion, or will he have to stumble upon her in a fit of DESPAAAAIRRRRRR?

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.

[personal profile] ceded 2013-10-02 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
All that's for sure right now is that Sephiroth will win and Davesprite will die. I think Dirk Strider will be showing up just before Davesprite goes - there could potentially be other backup there depending on who Xion and Davesprite contact before the fight begins. It might be Waver they get in touch with!

Also, I am referring you below. Is anyone announcing network-wide the outcome of the battle?

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.

[personal profile] ceded 2013-10-02 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
fwiw, Xion will also be gunning for revenge. She'll get dissuaded from it one way or another, but maybe she and Saber should talk?
gordianknots: Please don't waste your pity votes on me (Default)

[personal profile] gordianknots 2013-10-02 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, so, rough outline here is:

> Somehow, Seph engages with Dave and Waver, Xion is waiting in the wings (I need to grab Lamont's mun here)
> Fight occurs
> Davesprite is definitely out of the grail war
> Thread reserved for Dave's last moments with everyone

For me, logically, I'd want to discuss why Team Sabersprite is teaming up with Waver. I know Waver will be making known the confrontation he had with Team Seph already (SPOILERS he's getting his ass kicked), which may be a nice lead in.

she'll get revenge for you, Xion--

I mean yes she'll probably say something to Xion

something along the lines of revenge and justice not being the same

[personal profile] gordianknots 2013-10-02 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
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.

SABERSPRITE. that's a cute name.

What Asher and I discussed above is that, whilst scouting, Xion and Davesprite run into Sephiroth and Elena. They know he needs to be stopped but they don't have the firepower to do it alone. Davesprite engages while Xion contacts whoever she thinks relevant - maybe Dirk, definitely Waver.

Maybe Xion and Davesprite start their scouting BECAUSE of Waver's post about his fight with Sephiroth. That would tie everything together nicely.

Roxy and Tieria are pretty down with actively taking out baddies, so if you want them to be the backup that doesn't get there in time that would let Roxy get Dirk there too, and solve two birds with one stone!

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.
