ROBOTS AND CAT-BALLS! Grande finale of the drug plot [info/plotting post]

[stay_classy_cat]

WHAT HAPPENED?

Last summer, a nefarious freckled enterprising blonde started selling lollipop drugs and created a drug empire with his dirty drug money. Said dirty drug money also funded a top-secret project of his--Pokeballs (henceforth referred to as "cat-balls") that can catch and clone anything so that they serve as Seth's puppets. Unknown to anyone, Mayor Tabuu was cat-balled.

The drug lollipops caused different affects on its users, ranging from whacky shenanigans to flooded schools to civil unrest and racial/specie bias and segregation. Even after a band of heroes from Smash Academy thwarted the drug production plant located under a creepy church, Final Destination City erupted in turmoil and riots. The bottle-necked supply of drugs fed aggression and desperation until "Mayor Tabuu" decided he had enough.

"He" ordered Martial Law under Dr. Eggman's rule. (For shits and giggles, really.) Robots patrolled the city and curfews were put in place. Surprisingly enough, this worked. Riots calmed down, and drug-related violence and crime are no longer a problem.

...That said, Eggman himself is now a problem.

Many residents of Smash Academy and FDC feel Eggman's reign is no longer needed. No doubt you've seen the numerous posters and flyers around campus calling for a unified rally against Eggman's robot regime. Eirika is taking a stand for your independence, Smash Academy.

And without your help, her efforts might be for nothing.

SO WHAT'S HAPPENING NEXT?

Eirika's stand against Eggman will be doomed to fail. After capture she will NEVER BE HEARD FROM AGAIN dun dun dunnn. In actuality, Eggman will teach her some manners and secretly robotisize her. No one would be any the wiser as to what happened to her, though you might notice she's gone missing.

Except Seth. He'll be snooping around at the right place at the right time and once he learns of Eggman's ability to robotisize his cat-ball guinea pigs, he'll decide that Eggman has gotten too comfortable with his position of power. In his haste, Seth will make a phone call to his drug cronies which Ulki will overhear--What?! ROBOTS? Seth is the drug guy?! He cat-balled Tabuu??? What the heck is a cat-ball anyway?! SOUNDS BAD...! This critical news will eventually come back to Eggman, and surely everyone in Smash Academy will hear about it after that point.

WHAT CAN I DO?

So we will have Eggman furious at being tricked by Seth the drug lord and cat-baller, and Seth furious at Eggman the robotisizer for overstepping his boundaries. Both are obviously bad--Eggman is a more immediate threat but Seth is probably the bigger one; he has Mayor Tabuu by the balls, after all.

Here's what we're looking to do:

- Sign up for a group to commandeer Eggman's robotisizing machine.
- Sign up to be robotisized and fight your friends.
- Be normal and fight random faceless badniks (there are cute fuzzy pokemon animals trapped inside, don't you want to save them?)
- Sign up to be cat-balled and fight badniks andor robotisized friends incognito, and then celebrate your victory by turning on your friends.

Seth and Eggman will duke it out mano e mano. You do not sign up for that, BUT, it will be broadcasted live to the network for all to see thanks to Bowser.

I DON'T WANT TO DO ANY OF THAT.

No worries, this is entirely opt-in. Meaning if you want nothing to do with this plot/event you just keep on keeping man. Just keep doing your thing, as you have been. Shit's going down on Monday the 26th and just on that day (although backdating will be a thing as long as needed). There will be a network post on Monday of Eggman and Seth yelling at/fighting with each other that will kick things off, then an open log for everyone to get their collective commandeering/fighting on, which will take place on the outskirts of campus and in the city. Please feel free to utilize the network to ICly group together as you wish, or make your own logs outside of the catch-all one, or do all your hand-waving and figuring out here.

AND THEN AFTER THIS EVERYTHING WILL TURN TO NORMAL AND CLASSES WILL START BACK UP, YAAAAAY.

Mary general plotting

[paletteknife]

This is also a big time for Mary because she just got totally betrayed by Seth and is learning many cold hard truths. She's probably pretty useless as a fighter, being a ten year old girl then again she can hold her ground against a grown man for a little bit, or else Garry is just SUPER WEAK. But maybe there's some kind of behind the scene effort she could take part in? Stealthy info gathering? Something? Her trusting in other people is going to be pretty shaky at this point in time.

Ten years old? PAH that's just the time in your life you should be coming into some power.

If Mary is feeling like she wants to be out there but needs some sort of weapon, Cyrus would be willing to lend her a pokemon. Though of course there's a catch--he *is* a cult leader, after all. So while he's not nearly as sneaky or greedy as Seth, he's absolutely up to no good.

If you want her to get in on the fighting but don't want the later stuff, it can be a temporary alliance, though he will *try* to call in a favor later. He won't force it though if she doesn't want to (though he may post about some vague disappointment in the world, the future, the student body, etc afterwards).

Ten year olds don't fight, they bully woodland creatures into doing the dirty work for them!

She will probably be getting a demon from Naoya around that time, but she won't be opposed to extra minion-type animals helping her out. Especially if it is something of the cuter variety. (In her case 'cute' can also be 'creepy as hell.') Although after Seth throwing her under the bus after like a year of being really dedicated to him she'll probably be really wary of any actual devotion to anyone or doing too many favours BUT... it could be really interesting to see how it goes anyway. I'm in.
