It's event time!
November

Hello everybody! It's time for an event and our first big player plot! Everything you need to know is below, and since there's a lot to do with this one, feel free to respond to this post with your plotting comments. (There's a form below to help with that).

November 18th and Onward

At the beginning of the month, the crew disembarked the Moira to gather supplies on Caducus Primary. The natives were friendly and accommodating, though strict in what they did or didn't allow, and everything was going as planned. On the twelfth, the crew received a half-veiled threat to leave the planet. The representative reiterated that the crew had four days to finish up and leave. They made no further contact and didn't pressure the Moirans to leave; all seemed well.

By the 18th, two days after the deadline, the natives will abruptly begin to force any lingering crew off the planet. The time has passed, and they waited longer, but feel as if their goodwill is being abused. Any and all crew members still on planet will be roughly seized and extracted. If you fight back, they will attempt to subdue you, and if you go willingly, they will be no less rough.

The Glass Shatters

Due to a bit of bad luck, and a whole lot of aggressive handling, crew member Bruce Banner will be triggered. The Hulk, unfortunately, is now causing enough damage and force that the fragile and brittle buildings and sculptures are breaking. The buildings begin to sway and bow, glass pieces the size of cars and houses raining down on civilians and crew members as they crack and give way.

In the chaos and panic, the on-planet Ingress is damaged, resulting in a wave of energy strong enough to penetrate the planet's core. The brittle planet, much like the glass that adorns it, starts to crack open and the natives issue a planet-wide evacuation. Within 48 hours, all crew standing anywhere on the Moira with a view of the planet will stand witness as it splinters open, and then folds into itself. The only survivors are those that made it onto the Moira, a transporter, or one of Caducus Primary's many evacuation shuttles.

"I am the keeper of fragile things and I destroy what is mine."

For this event, characters can choose to do any number of things. There will be the opportunity to help Clark Kent try to stop the Hulk, creating safe areas for civilians to get out of the way of falling glass, coordinating rescue and evacuation efforts, and building a cage in the cargo hold of the Moira that will be used to hold the Hulk until he cools down.

Event Plotting Form:
<b>Character(s)</b>: NAME <user name=NAME> <b>Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk</b>: Yes/no; if yes, get with Clark and Bruce players and see what's going on. <b>Safe Zones</b>: Tell us if your character is going to form safe zones for crew and civilians during the initial part of the event. <b>Rescue and Evacuation</b>: Is your character helping with rescue and evacuation? <b>Cage Building</b>: Is your character going to help build something strong enough to hold the hulk?

SAVE THE WORLD WITH SUPERMAN (except not)

[heliakal]

Character(s): Clark Kent heliakal
Is your character going to help Clark with the Hulk: OPENS ARMS
Safe Zones: Clark is going to be trying to help people get to the safe zones initially!
Rescue and Evacuation: He'll probably be too engaged in the fight to be much help with the rescuing, but he will definitely get between the Hulk and any civilians/evac ships when he can.
Cage Building: HULK PUNCHING X(

OKAY SO let's talk fight co-ordination! I'm totally up for teamwork or not as everyone sees fit. If you wanna thread something out, hit me up! I'm always up for teamwork while fighting, and rescues - or even things like other characters dragging Clark out of a ditch when the Hulk has knocked some sense out of him.

Otherwise, feel free to handwave
a) Helping Clark fight the Hulk - just lmk and we can figure out what went down
b) Clark being too busy trying to rescue civilians or being pitched halfway across the world or w/e to be there when your character goes for the Hulk. Basically you don't have to acknowledge him while engaging the Hulk unless you want to!

I'd like some people to see him clearly/figure out who he is, but not everyone is going to know his ~secret identity~.

[whatdidisay]

this is the wrong account but gamora is ready to put her STABBING SKILLS to use hey clark let's team up

[heliakal]

UM YES PLEASE +_+

[whatdidisay]

ALSO WE NEED TO ARRANGE CLARK TELLING IVAN AND GREGOR ABOUT MILES AND THEN CLARK FINDING A DRUNK IVAN

who might just spill more about what miles does than he's supposed to b/c ivan

[heliakal]

HE WILL DO SO when everyone is back on the ship! He'll come by their room to deliver the news in person... Man it would be great if he could bring them something of Miles' covered in blood.

And then later he'll collect Ivan from the bar and deliver him to Gregor. c:

SKIDS IN HERE

[forwardmomentum]

so how would you like to get clark's rollercoaster of survivor's guilt rolling

phone posting is the worst but I'M EXCITED

[heliakal]

I was thinking maybe they hang at first, and Clark will hear the Hulk thrashing around b/c super hearing and be like MILES GO BACK TO THE SHIP

and miles is like NAH

and they argue a bit, but Clark flies off like FINE SUIT YOURSELF I GOTTA PUNCH A THING

and then maybe later Clark can get thrown through a building or w/e and get up just in time to see giant glass shards fall on Miles? Or something?? Idek it really depends on how you want Miles to die.

SAME. SAME!!

[forwardmomentum]

HAHA YES god. miles is definitely going to refuse to go back to the ship if there are people that need to be evacuated -- not too long ago miles helped liberate a prison camp and it pretty much went to shit at the end, and he pretty much refused to get going until everyone was on the last shuttle and he lost someone important anyway. whether or not he realizes it, he'll be trying to make up for that loss and HE'S got too much survivor's guilt to do the sensible thing and head back to the ship.

WHAT IF when clark gets thrown through the building, miles is trapped under some glassy debris and clark can try to pull him out before some giant glass shards fall on miles? you know, make it hurt extra B)

[heliakal]

MILES ;A; I'm so looking forward to their fighting over this. I hope Miles tells him off like I've handled shit like this I'm fine and Clark is like you could literally die out here because of his own survivor's guilt and everything's gonna be awful it'll be great.

OH BETTER YET WHAT IF the damage is already done via Miles trapped under the glass debris and Clark x-rays him and just knows he's going to bleed out even if he tries to cauterize it there's literally nothing that can be done. And Miles can die right there in his arms.

And then he can get pissed off and go punch the Hulk halfway across the planet. :']

[neveroutwrenched]

RATCHET IS ALSO READY TO JOIN TEAM FIGHT THE HULK

For like, five minutes until it becomes clear they can't really hurt the Hulk and then he'll be all for Team BACKUP THE PEOPLE WHO MAYBE(?) CAN.

[heliakal]

TEAM FIGHT THE HULK!!

Do you want to do anything in particular or are you cool just rolling with whatever?

I'm figuring I'll do an open starter for the Clark/Hulk fight once the event post goes live and leave a few openings for people to jump in, if that works?

[neveroutwrenched]

I'm generally cool with whatever!! Roll with the punches, etc etc, so an open posts works for me

[heliakal]

SO Ricks said it was cool to NPC the Hulk a bit and I figured it might be the better option for short stuff to keep threads from getting too unwieldy - do you want to do that with Clark and Ratchet since he's not going to be in the thick of it for long? Or do you prefer to do a three-person thread?

[metabee]

Metabee's gonna be helping fight the Hulk! We should do something!
Would Clark help him out if Metabee gets tossed halfway across the planet?

[heliakal]

Clark will totally catch Metabee if the Hulk throws him halfway across the planet!!

[metabee]

Thanks, Superman.

[commontype]

Eggsy's not going to make it through trying to help stop Clark, but I'm open to that happening any way that you'd want to do. It can be he confronts the Hulk when Clark's not around or when he is, I'm open to both. D:

[heliakal]

Do you guys have any solid plans on how you want Eggsy to be scrambled? It can just be that Clark is a little too late to save him or w/e you like, I'm all about ruining his life and letting him watch people die.

[commontype]

We don't have anything too solid, just that he's going to confront the Hulk, and get killed. We can say that Clark showed up too late and he's there when he dies? :c

[fight4theusers]

Tron would love to help fight the Hulk! He's got a lightjet (with lasers!) at his disposal now, along with disc weapons. Pretty sure the Hulk would just swat them down, but hey, he could be a good distraction. :)

ALSO ALSO if we want to make things extra-complicated Tron can have his own dark side come out during the fight and you can have Rinzler "helping".

[heliakal]

I'm down for anything!! It'd be cool to have Rinzler out, they could talk about it during aftermath stuff.

I'll do a post on the Hulk's and leave it open if you want to join and go from there? Since it seems like Tron can hold his own for a bit.

[fight4theusers]

Sounds like a plan to me! :) Rinzler won't be a liability per se, but he will be far more violent than Tron, though more likely to follow orders.

And yep, he should be able to hold his own pretty well to start.

[hyperkinesia]

The world should get destroyed definitively with the Hulk shoving Clark into the ground and punch him until the crack in the planet opens up and it actually splits into two, I mean

what

just a thought

[heliakal]

YES ABSOLUTELY. WHAT A GREAT FINALE. +_+

[hyperkinesia]

except for them clearly. there will be so much drama and manpain after this.
