I'm posting this on Tuesday so that we can get started with figuring out what happens, but please keep in mind that this doesn't take place until Wednesday, 18 July, starting at 10:00pm.
The short version of events as I see them:
After everyone arrives, Spike will get everyone's attention and outline the plan. They'll leave the restaurant and try to leave New York on foot, everyone under their own power. Then they'll try the various other things, like teleporting, using magic to weaken the barrier, anything else that anyone brings up. When none of the things that they had planned work, Spike will start coming up with even more things to try, and he will keep coming up with minor variations and increasingly desperate ideas of things that a group can do until (presumably) the group starts to melt away as people give up. He won't give up until the last person gives up and leaves him alone, or morning, whichever comes first.
( The long version, plus Spike-specific details and possible interactions )So, that's all I know, please fill in the rest, if your character shows up, what your character does, how they react, when they leave, etc. To keep things organised, please put summaries and OOC comments, questions, etc. as replies to the OOC comment, and if you want to thread, threads or IC specifics should go under the "IC" comment below.
