THIS IS A PLOT SIGN-UP POST. YOUR ATTENTION, GIVE IT TO ME.

So, long story short, various plot reasons (Rose's humanity loss, Rose's arrival in general, lack of Elena's positive influence, the trial, Rose finding out she dies, Stefan's arrival, Stefan attacking Lana, Lana hating him etc.) Damon has grown pretty self-destructive, and when Damon gets self-destructive, he gets other-people-destructive too. What does this mean? It means you can sign up to be a victim.

Damon is going to be going around for the weekend of July 15-17 eating people. "But, Tiffany," you may ask, "how is that different from normal Damon?" Well, boys and girls, he'll be doing it more seriously and actually be getting caught. Intensely caught.

On days one and two, there will just be serious wounds. The kind that could be hinging on mortal or would be mortal if there weren't instant healers at the clinic, but neither of those characters are going to die. Then the second victim will be compelled to place the blame on Angel, and Damon will suggest they track him down before it gets worse. On the third day, he'll kill, and make it look like it's Angel. A full-on hunt for Angel(us) will be going on after the 17th until it gets sorted out.

At this point, it will be Wesley who figures out it's Damon and not Angel. Anyone else who wants to get in on the plot should be hunting after Angel anytime after the announcements go up! No one other than people I've already talked to should be suspecting it's actually Damon. Damon will disappear around this time and Wesley will be telling people that he's left the castle.

Meanwhile, Wesley will be torturing Damon in private. I'm looking at Morgana or Lana for people who might potentially realize that Damon isn't actually gone and go to stop Wesley before he kills him. If you're interested in being a part of this group and aren't listed, let me know! If you are listed and want to confirm being a part of this group, also let me know.

SUMMARY: I'D LIKE 3 VICTIM VOLUNTEERS FOR PEOPLE TO GET INJURED/KILLED BY DAMON. 1 DEATH, 2 SURVIVORS. If these numbers aren't met, I'll just use NPC townspeople for the victim o' the day. If you'd like to volunteer, please let me know which of the roles beneath the cut you want your character in.

Victim 1 (July 15th) will be attacked in one of two ways, you get a choice. In scenario 1, Damon will sneak up on them from behind and due to his super strength and speed, they won't be able to get a clear look at him before he disappears. In scenario 2, the more likely scenario, he'll drag it out and not care that he's seen, but then compel (basically mind control) them to forget his involvement, forget his face, and so forth.

Victim 2 (July 16th) will be attacked in a dragged out way, and Damon won't bother hiding his identity. However, when he's done drinking from them, he'll compel them into believing with all their heart and soul that it's Angel who attacked them. They will suspect NOTHING about this being falsehood, it'll be exactly what their memory tells them is true and there will be no hint of Damon left over. If your character isn't the type to tell people about their injury, and you still want to sign up for this, he can also compel them to be enthusiastic about spreading the word. They will be required to make a post alerting the castle at large to the fact that Angel is the one responsible for the attacks.

Victim 3 will be killed on July 17th, under the new death rules. Please get in touch with me as soon as you can if you want this to be your character so that we can get in touch with the mods.

As far as what kind of people should be volunteering their characters, it is not required that you have prior CR with Damon or Angel! It'd be best if victim 2 had prior CR with Angel, but Damon will be attacking at random, meaning he probably won't actually be going for people he has prior CR with and it'd be BETTER, in fact, if they were new people he hasn't met before, or has neutral, passing acquaintanceship with. This means it could be a great way for you to make new CR with either the Vampire Diaries or Buffyverse casts!

Reminder: before volunteering to be part of a death or maiming plot, you should give your characters' close CR fair warning.

As of right now there hasn't been anything concrete sorted out. I know Christina mentioned wanting Faith to come after Angel, and Shana and I talked about Spike actually coming to Angel's defense (possibly against Faith, who probably won't be very willing to reason--slay first, as questions later type situation). Beyond that, there hasn't been anything discussed. Beyond that, there's nothing as far as I know. So if you are part of this cast or have CR with Angel and want to figure some stuff out/how your character would react, this is where to plot that out.

Angel will not react with fight or flight unless he is attacked and doesn't know why--hence Faith. So if more people want to come after him guns-a-blazin', we can figure out more possible skirmishes (and less action-oriented discussions) as well. Just tag here and we can go from there.

ETA! -- Alright, so after he realizes he is being hunted by Faith (and whoever else wants to give it a go), Angel will be making a break for Caritas because crazy Slayer powers don't work in there. Plus, Lorne is the best person to prove he is innocent since there will be no deaths in his head ... recent deaths, anyway. But yeah anything before that is open to anyone. Potential for new CR is go~

Here's the thing with Faith. This kept getting pushed back and given things that have happened in-game she was actually getting ready to go talk to Angel this week. Of course, depending on that talk - it might still go where Faith is ticked that she trusted him only to find out that he's been doing this. I'm just not sure if Faith will go against him or not, because it will depend on how it's presented to her.

I'm good for whatever happens, like I told Brian a few times, having Faith go all "I knew you were evil!" was just an idea I had that I thought would work well with this plot. But, I also don't want to force the fight just so that I can have that breakthrough moment.

[leon.livejournal.com]

I totally understand that. We can work it however you want. I'm sure there would be others who wanted to come arrest Angel or something, too. In fact, there might be a way to work this so that Faith does the opposite and helps him out or something. Her breakthrough could happen completely differently this time around. Or she can just not care lmao. We can definitely discuss it. I'm fine with whatever happens, seriously.

[bigbad]

Yeah, this is... pretty much what I know about so far too. I guess Spike will for whatever reason manage to find Angel first/earlyish and then go ...wait a second, you totally aren't evil, then they can have one of those on the run from the law for something I didn't do parties with the goal being to get to Caritas?

People are welcome to doubt Spike's somewhat tenuous good guy status as well, since why the hell would be be teaming up with Angelus if he was good.
