ROAD TO ANKATA: VOTING POST

● ● ● ROAD TO ANKATA: IC VOTING POST

The time has come for the team to decide how they wish to proceed through the conclusion of the mission. Before we get into planning, here is a quick recap of what has been discovered and shared:

• The legendary Cubit dubbed Ankhaos by Professor Cress is likely located somewhere around Tarrytown, believed to be much larger than any other known Cubit and surrounded by spectral star-like energy.

• A note in Koga Birch's apartment appears to indicate a connection between a fallen shooting star in Doubleleaf Glen and Yasuo Fern and his Bulbkip, Bubbles.

• The "RMC" in the note is most likely referring to R.M. Chamise, who appears to be Team Torpedo's lead scientist, who is studying and experimenting on rare and unique Cubits.

• One of such Cubits is kept locked away in a Cubitile and guarded separately. Whatever is in there doesn't seem to be from Ankata, and misses their home, family, and friends.

• Team Torpedo appear to be after Bubbles specifically. At least a dozen members and their Cubits, Koga Birch himself, and a massive, never-before-seen Cubit (currently being controlled by R.M. Chamise) are all chasing Bubbles down. Yasuo is also running after him.

The team needs to vote on the two things, and each character gets one vote to either suggest a solution or +1 one suggestion of their choice.

For the vote, your character has to decide on:

1   What to do about the orb

2   What to do about Team Torpedo

Please write your suggestions as comments under the right heading, or +1 other characters' suggestions by responding to their comment. Remember you can only make suggestions on what your character is doing; if your comment includes the actions of other characters, they must confirm their participation with a comment. The more detail you can offer, the better.

If your character would ICly add something to a suggestion (offer magic, stealth, protection over someone or something, etc.) please detail this in your comment as well as it will help colour the conclusion.

The vote is open until July 30, 6PM GMT, after which the mods will count the votes and write the conclusion based on your characters' actions. You only have one vote per question, but if you end up wanting to vote for something else or edit your vote, you can do so until the voting closes.

Note that the vote doesn’t mean that only one option will be chosen — depending on how it goes, the conclusion may feature elements from the highest-voted options. The mods may also ask follow-up questions for some courses of action.

And finally, the conclusion will go up on August 1, when characters will return to the station.

Happy voting!

+1 and some help to get yasuo and bubbles united sooner, maybe!

Newt is in agreement! Yasuo and Bubbles have a bond, he could reach them easier. If anyone's gonna convince the little dude, it's him. That means someone reaching out to Yasuo and partly explaining what's going on would be super beneficial.

But also: coming in from the OPPOSITE side of Bubbles (aka the direct Bubbles is running to), is Newt in Doubleleaf Glen, who will do his best to slow Bubbles down. He will try to tell the little guy that they're here to help him and Yasuo, that they need to stop and wait for his trainer. But he will also try to prevent the Cubit from going any further so that Yasuo can reach him in time!

If it sounds good to his team, his CORTOUGA will be using its dig and/or rock slide to slow the Cubit down by blocking his path long enough to help Yasuo gain some ground. Newt will not make any kind of effort to harm the Cubit, though, even through battling. Also, Newt will probably be riding that Cortouga.

It's a very big Cortouga. BFFSKIES.

+1 for this and the first thing!

With all of the WILD SHIT ABOVE going on Yzak thinks it might be a good idea to reunite Yasuo and Bubbles somewhere where they can take a breather to talk/to temporarily throw off Team Torpedo.

So to that, Yzak will communicate with Ryu and co via the earpieces to suggest a plan to get Yasuo somewhere a little more secluded in Doubleleaf Glen, under some rocky/cliffy formations just out of sight so they can buy a few minutes. You guys are skilled, you can TOTALLY find a place and be stealthy about it, right?

Yzak's Luxtini, Raiju, can try to take advantage of Newton's Cortouga's actions to try and slow Bubbles down and get close enough to the Bulbkip to use his Teleport ability to bring him to that secluded place so his trainer can speak to it about the "artifact."

Ivy is cool with these plans. I don't know that she has anything to add, but she'll lend a hand with her cubits and such.

+1

Wei Wuxian will be Team wreck the lab, but he's happy to provide the group with some support talismans should they be of use, WITH the reminder that they should try to use them carefully in front of people. The talismans he would supply are:

Invisibility: When worn, will turn the use invisible for 30 minutes. Does not hide heat signature, spiritual energy, or any other sixth sense
Lock picking: Can crack physical locks. One time use.
