PLOT NOTICE.
The plot we've been posting about is set to begin tomorrow! The fight threads will go up Sunday evening.
However, just because you don't have a character involved in the fight doesn't mean you can't participate! We've made the decision to not pause the game for the sake of keeping things moving. Therefore, feel free to act as though the game is continuing in real time, and have your characters update as such (although you won't know all the details of the fight until the threads are finished, of course.)
Here are some things to update about:
1) In the initial stages of attack, your character will hear/witness the following:
About 3 minutes prior to the attack, the STEPFORDS pick up on the danger, and send a telepathic warning to the entire Hotel. This will be communicated by posting a "telepathic call" in mutanthaven. Any character can mentally respond to the Stepfords' message (or freak out about it on the journals!), but the Security Team's acknowledgment of the danger will be especially important.
BLACK MAMBA rushes out to make her escape--just as the SERPENT SQUAD teleports in front of her. SECURITY plus VOLUNTEERS gather behind her, ready to take on the unknown adversaries.
1) If your character is watching the fight in its beginning and middle stages, they'll see the following groups fighting amongst each other:
- GROUP A: SIDEWINDER versus CYCLOPS, HAVOK, and VIVISECTOR. - GROUP B: VIPER versus BLACK MAMBA, DIAMOND LIL, and DEADPOOL. - GROUP C: EEL versus GAMBIT, ICEMAN, and JUBILEE. - GROUP D: COBRA versus NIGHTCRAWLER, COLOSSUS, and LONGSHOT. - GROUP E: ASP versus SHATTERSTAR, AURORA, and WOLFSBANE.
There's going to be some bloodshed, a TON of blows landed, and--eek--a Deadpool dismemberment. Yes, you read that right. Deadpool is getting dismembered, by Viper. Your character will also notice Remy's powers getting out of control, and both Josh Foley and Rogue moving into the fight when conditions are right.
2) If your character's entry takes place after the fight, here's a brief rundown of how things will look:
- Thanks to Cessily's protection, the Hotel will not have suffered any damage. - There WILL be injuries. Very notably, Rogue will be unconscious and undergoing telepathic assessment. - All of the Serpent Squad members, save for Viper, will have escaped via teleportation. Viper will be dead (it's really gross and gory), and chillin' on the ground below. - Josh will be actively using his healing abilities on those who need them.
