KILL IT WITH FIRE OOC Edition
Okay, so that plot thing that's been bouncing around Plurk is going to hit the climax soon, and to help with getting everyone who wants to be involved a job in it somewhere, here is a formal planning post!
The Very Rough Outline:
So evil Mirror!Alan has been loose on the Grid for a bit, and after freaking people out at the End of Line he ran into Mirror!Rinzler and Dark!Tron and there was torturing and almost some codescrew shenanigans. Since it's a Very Bad Thing to leave a sociopathic, programming genius User with 20+ years of in-system experience running loose, the plan is to kill it with fire at the soonest opportunity. Dark!Tron, Mirror!Rinzler, and Mirror!Clu are about to go over to the Arena for an in-character planning session, but since we're all over the everywhere as far as availability and tagging and such it would be greatly appreciated if all participants make some notes here as well so everyone knows what everyone else is doing. ♥
There will be ducky-napping. Eden will be lured off by Mirror!Alan, which isn't hard to do since she's pretty much lured off by anything shiny. People around who can notice what's going on and contact Security would be greatly appreciated. No idea if there will be a ransom demand as of yet. (Though we already know it's not like Mirror!Alan would honor it lol.) Anon is currently slated for ducky-snatching and rescuing, but there's probably room for a couple more dudes if there is interest.
There will be a boss fight. So far, Dark!Tron, Mirror!Rinzler, Clu 1.0, Roy, and Livian are on tap to confront Mirror!Alan. Roy and Livian are currently slated as tank/support and the murderkitties and Clu (and whatever tank/large guns he can find) are going to be doing most of the actual hitting. Since there aren't going to be that many active players on the list so far, I think room for another couple people is doable provided everyone is free to tag when the fight log goes up.
There will be hella gridbugs. Mirror!Alan is going to be tapping directly into the Grid for power and cheating like a cheating thing as much as possible. Anon's the only one on gridbug duty at the moment-- lots of people needed here.
There will be a need for recompiling. Roy and Livian are on this team by default, and maybe Wulf? (IDK) Mirror!Clu signed on for guard duty and pinch-healing if anybody trusts him that far. There will probably be a need for more healers and guards, as there are likely to be a pile of NPCs and several wounded PCs by the end of the fight.
There will be evacuations. The goal is to get Mirror!Alan into the Outlands, but failing that at least make sure nobody gets in his way. Evac shelters will need set up, people will need moved, daring rescues of various characters will happen, orders will need yelling, etc etc. Esme's down for helping coordinate the evacuation, but she will need help desperately. Shielding evacuees from the effects of the boss fight might also be a thing if there are any User characters anyone's sitting on who would have qualms about fighting Alan.
Since the IC planning post is likely to be chaotic and will take a while to thread out, and we really want to get the logs well underway before our deadline (thanks Bright!), it's really, really important to post what you want your character to be doing here if you want them involved. (That way no matter how long IC planning takes, everyone will be able to move forward in a reasonable time-frame.)
As always, feel free to ignore if you have no interest in participating. :3 I think we might even avoid blowing up important buildings this time.

no subject
Clu1 will be part of the boss fight itself, as stated above. He will first be
stealingborrowing a tank from some hapless NPC medic for use against evil!Alan. Once evil!Alan forces him to abandon said tank, he'll be using his hacking skills to throw as many hinderances/debuffs/distractions evil!Alan's way as possible until either the fight is won or evil!Alan knocks him out, whichever occours first. Exact circumstances depend on how things play out, though I'm leaning toward the latter option happening somehow.Cantus here, meanwhile, is a civilian and will be
hiding under his bedone of those evacuated from the area. He won't be playing any significant role in this.no subject
And Cantus better not actually hide under his bed. It's dangerous.
