THE PLOT THICKENS


So i herd ppl have been disappearin?

More than likely your character has! To date, here's who's been kidnapped:

Thursday: Crowley // No recording
Friday: Deadpool
Saturday: Elektra Natachios
Sunday: Julian Keller
Monday: Teresa -- that's right, Teresa just got nabbed too

--and there was a pretty big commotion here. Riful's room on the 13th floor has been completely demolished, leaving a large hole in the side of the castle.

If you've been following certain plot posts you should see now what sort of situation the kidnap victims are in! Especially after their haphazard S.O.S. And there's even been a 6th confirmed victim at this point--a dead body's been found in the same room as them.

Now although poor Crowley wasn't able to get out much of anything that might indicate who dunnit, Deadpool, Elektra and Julian were all fortunate enough that something extra was recorded on each of their entries! Riful's giggle and voice have been recorded here, here, and here. Even if it's among the sounds of chaos and all that, if your character tries they should be able to realize that it's the voice of a young girl who can't be more than 14-15ish. Some might even recognize her voice as that of another castle resident. They'd have to do a bit of digging, of course... But maybe a helpful bit from Allen could set things in motion!

But once they figure out who it is, what happens? She's obviously not using her room at the castle (although taking a peek might not be the best thing). So how do they find out where she is...? Riful's been dropping hints about where she'd like to settle down for a while now. Those hints can be found lying around as recorded spoken statements:

April 18th
April 18th
April 30th
May 2nd
May 7th

(I realize that some of these are openish threads, but for plot's sake we can assume her journal was around somewhere? They're pesky things after all).

There are some of you who already know where she's at since I have a big mouth, but only the kidnapees should know ICly at this point...and even then they probably can't put it on a map. HOWEVER there should either be an IC hint or something of that nature that will point the eager young heroes in the right direction! Helpful hint? You guys might wanna pack some food B)

Also as a small note: please don't just jump the gun and start making posts about "HEY I'VE SUDDENLY DONE AMAZING AMOUNTS OF RESEARCH JUST NOW I KNOW WHO IT IS", even if your character may have done that |D; it'd be nice if you could leave a comment here offering that, or simply follow the instructions at the end of the post. I've been haphazardly arranging a few ooc things around this, so if you would like to post I ask that you follow the instructions laid out here.

The last kidnapping is scheduled to happen Tuesday June 1st, so after then it's GAME ON to try and rescue the hostages (I mean they can leave anytime before that, but ICly they'll be unable to actually DO that until after the last kidnapping on June 1st). It should also give the heroes a good view of where Riful's been zipping off and hiding everyone! There will more than likely be a giant open post for everyone who wants to get in on this put up either Tuesday/Wednesday, depending on IC reactions.

Heroes? Lemme warn you now what you're up against (for those of you unfamiliar with Claymore canon):


A brief size-comparison for you guys~ First image is Riful standing over the treeline of a forest in the mountains, the second is of a comparison to Dauf, her lover. The third id a comparison of Dauf to a normal-sized human, so yeah. SHE'S KIND OF HUGE. And a bit...odd.

For more info please check out Riful's Claymore wiki, and watch this vid:
 


She's by no means invincible though! YOU CAN DO IT, HEROES.

Those interested in the plot can either comment here or join the plot chat room:

There'll probably be another ooc post for this too after/on Tuesday, and then one big finale post sometime after that (depending on IC reactions and the like) so look forward to that too :>

[EDIT]:

A plot timeline is available!

AS SOON AS ALLEN REALIZES TERESA AIN'T CALLING TO CHECK IN TOMORROW, HE"S GONNA DO A STUPID SHONEN THING AND TRY TO FIND THEM.

JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW.

RECKLESS SHONEN ALERT.

Just watch bro, just watch. You check his room tomorrow, and Allen will be very much missing.

And so will his horse from the stable. B)

CHECK IT: HE'S ON A HORSE

[identity profile] ontheclockpro.livejournal.com 2010-05-31 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
....Well now I'm gonna have the Old Spice commercial in my head.

BUT YES. HE IS ON A HORSE. And will have left very early in the morning B)

HEY since that's the kind of thing Ollie and Dick are trying to prevent (http://community.livejournal.com/paradisa/11285900.html), and since Dick's well aware that they won't be able to stop others from going it alone, he's going to be going solo, too, firstly to keep an eye on the teams, and secondly to make sure any wild cards don't get in the way and/or hurt.

WANNA HAVE THESE TWO DO SOMETHING? 8D

DICK GRAYSON ♥ OH MAN, UM.

See the main thing with Allen since he's been pretty much Teresa's stray/kid for the past two years so he's learned a LOT about creatures like Riful and knows some stuff about Riful - so part of the reason he's running off on his own is so he doesn't reveal TOO MUCH information so other people have a chance to do stuff.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME I WOULD LOVE FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING. So I think as long as Allen isn't dragged back to the castle I THINK WE CAN MAKE IT WORK. If you want you can IM me at specialhellbound and we can plot something out?! B)

WE NEED LENALEE'S PUNCHING. :|

Can Lavi (ALSO?) assume that Allen must have left on his own when he's not with the search party people/after some of his conversations last night?

[identity profile] save-the-souls.livejournal.com 2010-05-31 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
WE DO NEED HER PUNCHING ;;

YEP THAT WORKS FOR ME! I PMed Nita last night and told her she's free to have her characters notice and/or post about him not being around and Lavi can react with that too? If anything he probably left a note for Lavi somewhere in the apartment going something like "Sorry but I have to find them, I'll be back. Timcanpy is with me too." OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES before he ran out. B)

[identity profile] recordhistory.livejournal.com 2010-05-31 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome, thank you! ♥ I could say that Lavi didn't see the note until it was too late and might have been thinking that Allen had signed up for those search teams anyway? BUT HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER, WITH THAT RECKLESSNESS TRACK RECORD.

[identity profile] save-the-souls.livejournal.com 2010-05-31 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds good to me! ♥ AND YES BUT ITS OKAY, ITS BEEN AWHILE SINCE HE'S BEEN THIS RECKLESS SO YOU JUST RELAXED YOUR GUARD A BIT.
