endgame plotting.

[al2955]

So now that you've read the gdoc and have an idea of what is presently planned for endgame, it's likely you have ideas and plotting you'd like to do -- we'd recommend putting proposals for player plots down below, as well as detailing your character's abilities and what they can do for endgame or what you'd like them to do for endgame. We recommend being as thorough as you can be when discussing this, and keeping an open communication line with your fellow players; this will help make endgame as smooth as possible as well as ensure that you get to participate as much as you want.

This is the post where we'd like you all to communicate and plot together -- revived players, surviving players, and players coming in as Nuwa-goers, this post is for you to get together and discuss everything you'd like to do. If you have a player plot, please top level with it and discuss it with the game. Feel free to top level about anything. For right now, we have some things to hopefully help everyone's creative juices get flowing, but treat this as a sign up post, too. If you see a player plot you want in on, respond! Talk! See where things can go! This is your time to shine, and the characters' time to impact the game; none of this is possible with you. You guys have shown us that you're amazingly creative and deserve to run the show here, so please, take it and run with it.

NIGHTMARE CRADLES

[al2955]

The Nightmare Cradles are optional. They are also player run. Nightmare Cradles will transport players running them and the people participating in them to a specific room on the ship, and the goal of a Nightmare Cradle is to overpower those within it and destroy that room on the ship. If characters fail to stop the illusions within a Nightmare Cradle, the room will be destroyed, damaging the ship. If characters do manage to stop the illusion, however, the Nightmare Cradle's host will awaken and the room will be safe. Please discuss plans for Nightmare Cradles here, as well as sign up for one!

I'll definitely be running one of these! Still figuring out the basics, but it will definitely involve a boss fight against Dorian, which can involve him raising the corpses of your characters or your characters' friends/loved ones on the ship to fight them. (Probably as part of the illusion). I think it will be fun even if your character doesn't really know Dorian and just wants to fight some shit; it will probably be mildly dangerous if you don't have any fighting ability, but no one is likely to get seriously hurt.

I don't have any preference for what room in particular! But if you're interested in doing this please lmk so I can plan a little bit!

I'd like to run one of these if there's interest/time/etc! Generally speaking I don't have a preference for what room but ideally I'm thinking Luke's nightmare cradle is a full-body possession with a bunch of powers he once had in canon so i.e. a pretty decent boss battle involving a nearly invincible Luke, time powers, some other crap and also armies of monsters in a maze that probably looks like New York City because why the fuck not.

Essentially if you want to actually see why it was a "good" idea that Luke fulfilled the prophecy let me know and I'll hash things out with people.

[parodeity]

dave can probably help counteract time powers because fuck you he's also a god of time technically

[chiseler]

please let the god of time smack the titan lord of time in the face??? he goes to freeze dave and dave's like "nah." i'm into it

[parodeity]

i'm 100% there for this. CAN'T FREEZE THE TIME PLAYER, DUDE

[baptizer]

Now that we know the deda have cradle's here's the rundown for mine!

Viewport
You can see the view of space like any other normal occasion. No dismembered bodies, but off in the distance... a giant metal birdman. It looks as if it's looking for something. Players will see Elizabeth off in the corner, attached to siphon that seems oddly misplaced. Elizabeth, in all her beautiful martyr glory, is facing her biggest fear of being used. With the cracks of electricity, it's hard to get close to her. Why?

Because when you do - Songbird in Space[tm] lets out a pained cry and crashes against the glass of the viewport. It's super scary and begins to crack the glass, but between Elizabeth's pained screams, you're not alone.

The first wave includes
(2) George Washington Mechanical Patriots that shoot large gattling guns.

Second wave includes:
One Handyman that punches super hard, jumps and also throws fireballs.

The final wave is actually attacking the siphon to free Elizabeth before Songbird burst through the window! The siphon is very mechanical and characters will be burned / zapped with electricity if they touch the wiring. Also need to yank the spinal tap out of Elizabeth's back.

[bloodbiter]

she will 100% stab george washington for you liz

[antagonize]

[bloodteller]

nightmare time （ﾉ｡≧◇≦）ﾉ

grell's cradle is not just going to try and ensnare and trip up those inside of it (expect being seized by different types of bonds, someone might get strangled, low light to obscure vision, all the fun stuff like that) but it will also attempt more psychological attacks. this will be presented in a sort of mocking, factual analysis of a character - think of things that someone could easily interpret about their personality from careful observation, their more obvious flaws, or for closer cr using all those nice personal details against them. as well as that who is who is going to get a little confusing. someone might see duplicates of a person, triplicate, think they're someone else based on physical features and voice. it will be more abstract, however i also have to caution that physical injury is highly likely in this nightmare. the conditions for the room clear are simple - get to the center and free the princess, so to speak.

this will take place in the gaea room! lmk if this is something you want to get involved in.

[thanatosincarnate]

... I'm going to laugh. 'Someone might get strangled'—yes let's have that happen to Arumat again that should go well.

Anyway, I'd love to involve Arumat in all of this? It seems like a hella lot of fun and pain, so. o/

[erythristic]

i wish i was nice enough to say it would happen to arumat by chance

it would not. it would be 100% deliberate since grell knows how he died

WHO WANTS TO PLAY A NONARY GAME

i'm just gonna run this really short and simplified and also i'm calling dibs on the incinerator but here's the gist!! everyone involved gets a sickass bracelet all with different numbers, and they'll all have to verify their bracelets on a scanner panel to open up a door with a big 9 painted on it, exceeeept opening and going through the door starts the bomb countdown. oops. the door opens into a pretty expansive hallway and you've got 81 seconds to find the matching scanner panel and unless everybody verifies and pulls the lever in time, the bracelets act as detonators for bombs in everyone's stomach and everyone explodes. rules will be explained over a PA system by the ~nonary game mastermind~ so characters know what to do and don't explode by mistake??

once that shit's out of the way the hall leads to the incinerator!! the doors lock behind them, the incinerator starts heating up, there's a five minute countdown before automatic incineration announcement, and then this shit pops out of the floor. it's a sudoku puzzle. the final boss is sudoku. i can't tell you guys how much i hate zero escape

once the sudoku puzzle's solved the 9 door on the other side of the incinerator'll open and clover'll be past that and it won't be too hard to snap her out of the illusion from there!

this'll have to run with everyone involved all at once and should take 4, maaaybe 5 people if there's interest? SO LET ME KNOW also sorry about my canon i'll explain more in-depth setting up the nightmare but lmk if there are questions

[breakshot]

hi yes SIGN ME UP FOR SUDOKU

i am here i am DOWN for bullshit zero escape puzzles

[thanatosincarnate]

OKAY BEFORE BED IM SAYING YES??/=
