Operation: Skewer the Demon (AKA fight plotting) Part II
Thanks so much to everyone who answered the call to arms for people who want to help kill Xellos. He's deeply amused that so many of you want to be present to witness his end~!
Unfortunately, Casey and I couldn't let everyone be involved in the actual main fight, only because a log with very many players has such high chances of stalling due to logistics and never getting finished. We have chosen Ryu, Joshua, Ammy, Minako, and Zelda to participate along with Fou-Lu in the main thread. If you are the player of one of those 5 and still want to be included, please read
First, thanks to all of you! Hopefully this will be a fun log. Second, those logistics I mentioned? We should probably get on one page with when to get a running start on the log, since the more of us that are tagging at once the more we can get done. Casey and I propose this Friday night (EST/Central US time) to begin -- with the understanding that Sandy will bring Zelda in late due to her flight home. How does that work for people? Obviously after that we'll have to kind of go with the flow and hope it moves decently, but I'm optimistic!
And that brings me to point the third: please don't agree to participate if you don't think you can finish out the log. I really need to get this log done so I can free up my character slot, as well as that it would just be a bummer to not play it out to the end and see Fou-Lu NOM Xellos's head off. Related, if it's your tag and you haven't tagged in over a day or so we haven't been able to contact you about it, we'll probably have to go on without you. Which we would HATE, but for the sake of getting done we may have to. ;;
Last, if you wouldn't mind, could you please comment here or contact Casey re: how you want your character to become involved? This can take place as an IC conversation with Fou-Lu, your kid stumbling upon the fight and deciding to help, handwaving, or anything else you and Casey work out. Your preference, please!
For anyone not chosen for the main thread, rest assured it is only because the characters we chose have the most power or the right kind of power to kill a nigh-invulnerable monster like Xellos. We love you all and would love to thread with everyone, but it's just not feasible. If one of the main combatants has to bow out, we might ping some of you as a pinch-hitter, if you'd still want to. But if you REALLY want to be involved and weren't chosen, ping us here and we'll see what we can work out. &hearts
There will also be a thread solely for bystanders who want to witness the fight, protect others, serve popcorn, etc. It will be event-style and threadjack-able, so ANYONE who wants to witness it should feel more than free to tag in. Bystanders MAY get some injuries if you choose, the actual thread will have an OOC note detailing what your characters can expect to dodge or be hit by or otherwise react to. It would be totally plausible to watch the entire thing and never get injured, though, so don't let that stop you.
More questions? Here's the place for them!
*loves on everyone* Thanks so much for the fun times with Xellos, I'm sure you'll all miss him terribly! If you have any feedback for me about him, I'd love love LOVE to hear it since I could use a tweak to how I play villains. ^^
