AFTER THE FIGHT

[worldtorights]

Hi everybody! This doubles as a plotting post and a quick summary of where we're at.

After the fight, Guillaume will show up. We may RP this out; we may not. Acher, Guillaume, and Victor will be on the students' side and protecting them; they can arrange for the people Apollo's possessed, once incapacitated, to be moved and restrained at a SICU facility. At this point, students have a couple choices.

First: they can go back into the school. Acher and Guillaume suggest wards around their dorms to monitor them, and basically keeping an eye on them. This is less suspicious and doesn't risk getting others involved.

Second: they could go to a SICU safehouse, located a little away from campus; it's in some old servants' quarters they used for mortal workers at Paracelsus prior to the invention of the automobile.

They could mix the two.

If he learns about the whale attack -- and Carlie, unless advised otherwise, is gonna hurry to tell the others -- Acher will suggest they include Shurik and Calli in their protection, because at this point, he thinks they're involved anyways.

Neat.

Ezra's partial to the idea of being outside of the school- for all they know, it was more than only Rahela, Ivarrson, and a bunch of the mundane staff. It'd be difficult to feel safe- or to feel others are safe- with that knowledge of them being around. But if everyone's keen on sticking around the school for the time being, he'll probably stay.

I'm also cool with Calli being roped into this. She'll protest but alas.

Will there be a revealing of the tattoos to the three of them? I suppose it could come up in the log.

[clawoverfist]

Victor will be more in favor of the safehouse instead of sending the students back to the dorms, and argue for this. He thinks that's akin to tossing them to the wolves, as if Apollo knows they're marked, so would anyone else working with them.

For a mix/compromise, he may suggest some sort of fake extracurricular activity club if there's any feasible way for him to get away with its sudden inception (which may not fly with Para!), so they can attend classes but have a safehouse to stay in instead of the dorms under the guise there's some educational thing going on that requires after hours housing.

But if the students don't want to trust him, he can't really say anything to that. Haha, sorry Victor.



Rhys will be extremely guarded, and would prefer to not be in the safehouse, but will be far more focused on what makes everyone else feel more comfortable and go with that. He doesn't know if they can trust SICU, and if this has being going on a while, then the school is technically no more dangerous than it was by his logic. He will not push this idea if the general consensus seems to be "safehouse plz", however, and if ANYONE goes to the safehouse, he will go with them to help keep an eye on them because new spooky environment hiss grr.



Shurik will agree to be included in protection because how is he going to say no, exactly. Token sigh.

[worldtorights]

I think Carlie will be for -- but checking, first, by journal -- telling Shurik and Calli the basics. Her view is they are pulled into this; they should know enough to know they may wanna get the hell out.

Acher don't get a vote here.

[spiritsight]

Reina would very much prefer to stay on campus. She doesn't really see how they're supposed to protect the campus and keep Undine and Apollo from messing with everyone if they're not actually on campus. (Also, she won't say it, but to her, the idea of a safehouse is pretty much the equivalent of running away, and everyone knows she has issues doing that.)

[worldtorights]

Acher will agree with the extracurricular activity! He'll be happy to set up the paperwork as quick as possible.

This could leave, from a purely "what RP is fun" standpoint, the option of students getting to go back to Paracelsus while hanging at the SICU safehouse. There can be the chance for social -- getting stuff from their dorms, checking in on classes, et cetera -- while being in close quarters.


Carlie's vote would be safehouse, but she'll want to hear what the others think (particularly Ezra because let's face it, she thinks of him as a leader type).

[clawoverfist]

I think this has a lot of fun IC angles myself! Best of both worlds.

Rhys would actually also be more amendable to this too: if they are agreeing to go and skip class, it's an opportunity to focus completely on going after Undine/Apollo/Tower stuff without trying to fake normalcy.

[invisible_walls]

Julian has no idea what's going on! And I have no idea if he's invited to this safehouse or not haha

Val would guiltily agree to telling Calli and Shurik things because she sorta already told Shurik some things and Calli's her sis. Also, I think she's gonna offer to let Calli stay with her after this if she wants to/whenever she wants to.

OH ALSO Val will want to fill Rhys in right away, esp that masked man was there.

[bloodrites]

At the very least, Ezra would want to have everyone talk it out and address their concerns so that everyone knows where everyone else stands, and if they end up splitting up, everyone's aware of everyone else. Journals aren't good enough.

Of course that would mean another megalog and I don't know if that's wise lol.

[clawoverfist]

I am personally okay with OOC hashing out where everyone stands and what their thoughts are here and saying it happened. (This of course would involve calling others like Mirela, who were not present at either fight I assume!)

[worldtorights]

Acher would be for protecting Julian. I mean... with everything that happened, it seems dangerous. He'll just assume.

I'm not sure if others would see it differently!

[worldtorights]

Ditto! I think hashing it out OOC'll suffice.

[clawoverfist]

If the whole "extracurricular" excuse goes in, Rhys may point out that a legit excuse to not be in school gives them time to go strike at the heart of this stuff (by checking certain areas they know they need to look at) instead of going to class and waiting for more things to happen.

[denying_gravity]

Vanya is most persuaded by the arguments that they're equally fucked either way, so he'd probably go along with whichever option the group decided.

He might lean toward the safehouse since even on the off chance it's a trap, it's less like continuing to wait for the enemy's next move.

[bloodrites]

A+!

Most people seem willing to go with the crowd, which means there isn't much of a crowd. Seeing that, Ezra would decide either to encourage Victor's extracurricular idea, or move out to the safehouse. He thinks it's important to be out there and doing something on the initiative, so he's all for going out and doing things. And he trusts Victor and Acher. (Also he'll take having the Black Knight on his team, even if his persona is questionable.)

[clawoverfist]

I think if it became clear in conversation that everyone was unsure, Rhys would start making a list of pros and cons (ah notebook, you are so helpful) and hope that it started spiraling into more of a discussion.

But with extracurricular thing, Rhys would (sorry for repeating myself 800 times I love you guys forgive me) be nudged in favor of "take their offer, and use the time to tackle problems in the Tower-- they are going to be watching us either way, so that's irrelevant". In other words he'd agree with Ezra there, though he disagrees slightly on trust.

(Fool him once...!)

[clawoverfist]

Unless someone points out that maybe letting the unmarked stay as little involved in possible could be to their benefit, Victor will lump Julian in with everyone else.

(And I don't know how that argument might go otherwise!)

[invisible_walls]

WELL Julian wouldn't be against being protected. If it did come up, he might point out he's already made himself a target to this Apollo character-- and if their marks are the only thing that prevented him winding up another tool...


ALSO Val wouldn't really like the idea of everyone being in one place together, even if it IS supposed to be "safe", but she'd be open to pros/cons. (Personally I am for the idea?) She'd also be open to those who wound up involved through proximity being offered the same (ie: Calli, Shurik, Julian)

[sehnsuchtkennt]

Fair enough! Ezra hasn't been brutally betrayed (yet??)

[best_behavior]

On that note, Vanya might be a bit uncomfortable with "abandoning" people he knows... (Nayan, Ana... maybe just them, Vanya doesn't know a million people)

Like they're not targets but the idea that tons of people on staff are brainwashed might make campus more inherently dangerous.

Roommate Shuffle?

[denying_gravity]

New thread for potentially claiming/setting new roommates for safehouse. I'm assuming 2-3 per room like Para but leap in and correct me Tex if there's limited space and people are all crammed into one room or something.

[doubledraculina]

Mirela's completely willing to go underground, especially if Rhys is coming along. She may want to take a small amount of time to swipe important reagants and similar from classroom stockpiles should that be valuable and useful.

She would concur with sparing the unmarked if the idea comes up. She wouldn't come up with it on her own.

[worldtorights]

This makes sense!

I think Acher'll suggest some patrols into campus (disguised as just checking in), to see if everyone's okay.

Re: Roommate Shuffle?

[worldtorights]

Acher and Victor are probably rooming.

Carlie is definitely open!

Re: Roommate Shuffle?

[sehnsuchtkennt]

I'm assuming it'll be split boys and girls like with the dorms?

Uhhh Victor and Acher can be the leaders for the boys' room(s).

....Matyr can be the leader for the girls'.

Re: Roommate Shuffle?

[denying_gravity]

lol, Matyr as like their RA

"Matyr I forgot my key can you give me a new one" "Here you go. whoops too slow I melted it"
