The plot is afoot
Alright guys, kidnapping plot time. We're going ahead with this over the weekend. For those of you joining us recently, please refer to this post, and also let us know what will be happening with your pups. If any of you have changed your minds or had new ideas, also please let us know. Just comment here so I can keep track of things more easily (I get distra-- ooh look at the kitty!)

If you'll be on hiatus soon (as in the case of Kiri-mun) you can make your posts early, but I think everyone else will be around. You can post clear into next week until, say, Thursday.

A group will be going to the history museum (see participants below) and they'll get abducted by some nasty folks. The captured mutants will be used to test a new robotic prototype (can you see where we're going with this?). While they are in captivity they will have inhibitor collars around their necks preventing them from using their powers willfully, and the collars go boom if they are removed improperly. This is not going to be pretty, these people are not above killing our pups, and there'll be some abuse so plan accordingly.

You can make up what happens to your pups and if you'd like actual interaction with the Big Bad let us mods know and we'll NPC that shit.

Abductees:

Miscellaneous NPC children will get snatched, too; feel free to have your pups interact with them, come with names and powers, make things interesting.

In roughly a week we will conduct the rescue.

Anyone not named is holding down the fort (but I think that pretty well rounds out all our pups, anyway).

I think that's about it. I'll edit this post as needed.

Edit 1: Kiri-mun is smart. I forgot to add this: At the museum they'll be getting picked off one-by-one or in twos or something.

	Few questions from this corner: Will we get information on cells/whether or not they're in groups/pairs/solos and if we are able to make up what happens to our pups does this apply to cell interactions etc? Can we NPC bad guy staff? And what happens there? (Reply to this) (Thread)

They'll be paired up in cells (so if Bobby and John want to be thrown in together, that's dandy).

I trust you guys to handle NPC interaction but if there's anything you're not sure of or want to run by us, that's fine. I welcome questions. Basically what's happening is this company is testing out the Sentinels on live mutants, to see how their powers work. At this point I'm thinking they'll get pulled out of their cells one-by-one to face the robots, and only at that point will their inhibitor collars be deactivated (only to be reactivated once the testing is done).

	I said this in the original post but I'd like for Terry to be in the rescue party. If there are already too many going, I'll have her stay. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I think we might actually be full up, and someone has to watch the school so the rest of the kids don't blow it up, y'know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killermelody 2009-05-07 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	I understand. that's cool with me! Terry is good with crowd control of the kid variety. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Haha, she'd better be if she has a kid! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killermelody 2009-05-07 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, Maeve can do what she wants. It's other kids who have to watch it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I hope she ends up having to scream at that kids 'cause that'd be awesome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killermelody 2009-05-07 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	hah. they'd come homw with the injured and the kids who stayed behind are bleeding from the ears or in love with Terry. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Scott just follows orders, so you can put him where you see fit. I can work any angle. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	six_reasons 2009-05-07 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	Awww. pets the Scott pup We'll have him stay behind with Terry and a couple other pups, if that's cool. I hate to leave him behind but like I mentioned to Rev-mun, someone's gotta watch the school. We can't leave it to the hands of the crazy children. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	slim_scott 2009-05-08 10:18 am UTC (link)
	Is all good :D That's what I figured would happen. Plus, someone's gotta deal with the inevitable publicity/fall out from this ;) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Of course I'm smart. I are teh edumakated! Hee! Also, I'll be posting Millie's capture either at some point tonight or tomorrow after Star Trek. Does anyone on the capture list want to be guiding her kiddos with her and get captured at approximately the same time or NPC the nappers? Otherwise I'll just narrative the whole thing. Lemme know.
