BRASS DEVIL: plotting post 2

[ximilian]

● ● ● SEPTEMBER PLOTTING POST: MISSION LOG 2

The time has come to plot for how the heist to get the orb from the Lionetta Main HQ is going to go down! Before you get into planning, here is a quick recap of what has been found out so far:

• The three families were formed from the mining families 200 years ago.

• A magical stone was found in the Alonetti mine, and the mine owner's daughter (who Ti'shaaz calls Ruvia Alonetti), disappeared with it after her parents died. It has also been noted that Alonetti is an anagram for Lionetta.

• Olexa seems to be making a lot of the decisions on her own, without consulting anyone.

• The Lionetta Main HQ sits on the Miniera Ruvida, and it has a door that leads from the mine to the HQ; a key has been found that may or may not be the key to that door.

• Cheri had the gala marked as an anniversary, and is rumoured to be seeing someone.

• The fountain near the HQ is another entrance to the Miniera Ruvida, and there seems to be a secret way out of the Main HQ that at least Olexa uses.

• To get into the Lionetta Main HQ, you need an access badge, and there are security cameras inside the main entranceway. The team also now has access to blueprints of the Main HQ.

· THE HEIST

The second log contains prepping for the heist as well as the heist itself.

Please respond HERE with an idea for how the team could get inside the Main HQ and gather a group who will be doing that. So you could have different groups for those in the mines, those who try to get in through the main entrance, those who try the outside elevator, those who might be providing tech support, those who might be causing a distraction — and so on. Then simply comment to whichever group your character would most likely participate in.

We ask that you do this by Wednesday, September 29, 6PM GMT. This way, the mods have time to include your ideas in the actual log.

The log will contain a variety of prompts to match your plans and allow for multiple ways to enter the Main HQ, as well as prompts for actually infiltrating the Main HQ and the obstacles that come with it. Some of them you already have an idea of, if you look at the search request responses carefully! But be prepared to sneak, to avoid traps (magical and mechanical) and maybe do some fighting as well.

Finally, the second log will offer a chance for two characters to get to the orb. These two will make it to where the orb is kept and will have a chance to actually be the ones to steal it. Note that this will be an NPC thread. If you would like to sign up for this, please comment HERE.


As with the first mission, the conclusion of the mission and the return to the station will come later, halfway in October. As before, that will not be a separate log, so for the latter half of the month when characters are on the station, players are encouraged to make their own logs.

LIONETTA-ONLY CLUB PARTY??? | Distraction!

[groupiedrifter]

Newton is going to suggest he host a big, cool pro-Lionetta party! He felt SO VERY INSPIRED by the lovely Cheri and her works, and he's aiming to have it hosted quite a good drive away from the Lionetta HQ (in case anything goes pear-shaped, so that they would need time to get back to HQ). Basically, he will be performing for them on stage and pumping money to the owners for rental time and free drinks! If people would like to pool money resources, he could use that cash to keep everyone drinking (and potentially plastered).

Things of use for this, I'm hoping...!:

- Entertainment options, people who can perform instruments/be a stage presence! Obviously would be Lionettas in family name, or someone who can disguise themselves as one!

- Someone who can disable any cars used to get there (i.e. slashing tired, ruining the wiring, etc.); can be another family member, technically, since if you get caught that only makes sense? Perhaps even disabling any way the Lionetta fam can contact their HQ, if that's possible, so they don't get any alerts.

- Anything else your heart thinks of that could be of use to keep HQ a little less busy with family members who could try to stop or catch our heisters. :|b

I'M SPITBALLIN HERE BUT YEAH!!!! DISTRACTIONS!!!!

+1 ; here! for! distraction!

[lateness]

god, the doctor lit hotwired a car so if you need someone to disable cars, the doctor actually has resume experience now!

but also mostly i just want the doctor to live his dreams of joining a band; he may not be an Expert like his next regen, but he's got Stage Presence

If this happen, Peter will be happy to help Newt by giving him money to organize stuff and get as much alcohol as possible. Also if he wants to make a copy of the songs in Peter's zune to blast them at the party, feel free.

As for a silly suggestion, what if the also organize a beauty pageant during the party, because eye-candy can sure get people distracted.

If the mods are for it, Tony could make some kind of device to temporarily block comms incoming from the Lionetta HQ. He can rig it so someone non-tech-y can use it (seriously as easy as "push this button when you get this signal).

Majima successfully hosted a party for Lionetta higher ups for intel gathering, and he'd be up for helping organize another one on the day 0. He could use the reputation of the club to invite as many of the previous participants personally- and of course hire as many entertainers that he worked with before for added oomph (should that be necessary).

He can manage the floor, make sure the show runs smoothly but also makes sure that everyone are a lot less sober than they're planning to be. ( He's been testing local bars and which drinks give the biggest kick, don't @ him. The offered drinks might have a lot more alcohol present in them than their names suggest )

Maybe they could rent a building with an indoor private parking lot that could - oh - conveniently malfunction near the end of the party/ or should the word of emergency get out earlier than expected.
