On the other hand he just got his mace back and is not above wrecking shit and intimidating people. She's also a much better strategist than he is.

Madelyne is gonna be real pissy at not being able to take a direct swipe at the Cap'n, and focus on targeted attacks on the Narrenschiff while still trying not to totally disable it, while she tries to figure out if she can still help the crew (unless they come at her. tolerance ends there.)

it's gonna be one of those really messy, difficult, emotional situations that she tried to avoid by not giving a shit

So it'll be interesting to see her try and Deal with all that.

okay, Lahabrea would definitely be intrigued by that mace

Lahabrea does want to not completely fuck over the crew of the Narrenschiff though! so he and Maddy could talk about that maybe?

:3 Get ready man it's fascinating in all the worst ways

And ooh, yes, PLS help her find equilibrium here

Venat and Lahabrea and Maddie by their powers combined?

Oh I love that

ooo yes

Fives is very on board with not fucking over the NS crew, or hurting/killing anyone if it can be avoided. And Maddie is one he'll be checking in on

Fitz very tragic about it all

Thirteen full on shooting at her, Maddie like REALLY FITZ -

Fitz manages to get even sadder

Venat's got a lot of capacity. She's just usually running on empty on board since the Cap'n won't let her gather aether

heeey alec what's the plan

carnage

I mean what

After everything gets sorted out Zerxus should probably get back to sideeyeing Vincent's whole thing.

YEAH i kept meaning to get him over there but man -

It's okay I got hella sick with not!Covid but may as well have been

Like full on loss of taste/smell/etc but tests were defs negative.

oh NO

that sucks <3 (and i feel your pain, years ago i had 'maybe omicron but there's no local testing around so who the fuck knows')

God I want Maddie and Edwin to talk about all this mess when it's settled

Reaches for and gently gnaws on tags

btw, Saga has finished talking to the Cap'n. He has chosen Stupid. She tried, Zerxus.

researchboner Yesss I'm so excited. Help, Edwin, THIS SUCKS

yarnzipan >:c it was a good effort

she has determined that essentially: Cap'n cares more about his pride than logic OR his crew.

YEP exactly the sense Zerxus was getting

So Fives is getting warlocked by John for this, and I'd love him and Maddie to run into each other at some point--he's also trying to stick to property damage unless he or other Bargizens are attacked and then he'll do what he has to (but he's also trying to stick to using his blaster on stun). But he's also getting his ass maimed or killed in phase 2

Oooh she'd be delighted by warlock!Fives

and then uh. REAL PISSED

lol, fair. But he's only a super fancy squishy human, so he's pretty easy to kill even with warlock stuff going on, other than when he's shapeshifted into a giant chaos rhino, and even then the NS big guns can probably squish him like a grape when he's on deck trying to protect the greenhouse XD

there are some people fucking up the guns!

so hopefully there will be uh. fewer to be turned on the Barge

draconic: lol, I meant their powerhouse characters, b/c he's one of the people fucking up the actual guns, hopefully XD

and he was already one of them in the first HOW DARE YOU?!?! wave of gun-fucking >.>

Oh yeah, fair XD

you can't say things like 'wave of gun-fucking' about the barge -

Fives has absolutely done gunplay with J1 I'm pretty sure

...like even aside from the time j1 killed him in bed

LOL >.>

shipoftheseus: was that a gun or a knife? Man, I hate my memory (and I LOVED that thread so much)

and yes, yes he has... and most other things you can think of as well

I'm pretty sure Jedao choked him out with bare hands

ah, that sounds right!

I know he was going to off himself

shobogan yarnzipan I'm going to be a little slow because bitty is home from school today (she's fine, but very itchy from a minor reaction to the amoxicillin she'd been prescribed) but do we want to thread out Maddie, Venat and Lahabrea putting their heads together?

I'm about to toss Lahabrea at Jesus' post so that could at least get the seed of the idea going on his end

draconic: I'm down!

Oooh yes!

awesome! he's mentioned that he'll go talk to Venat, and he probably at least saw Maddie's response to the Cap'n, so he could probably loop her in on that and remembering her general power level from the memshare way back?

unless Maddie would be inclined to also talk to Venat :|a

Lahabrea looping her in works better, I think

awesome! when I have enough brain for tossing up a post I'll see what I can do

(right now I'm in 'napping kid could wake up at any moment' mode)

o/ NO RUSH

Venat is here if that helps balls rolling

Man I need to throw Tendi at Zerxus pretty sure they'd get on like gangbusters. Where do you want her?

They SUPER WOULD i've got a post up of Chase shenanigans over here

(and he'd def help her get people to her cabin once the barge caught up)

Sweet! Have the tab open and will get to it when I can! (Tendi's trying to get a waypoint set up next to her cabin so it'll be a bit easier on all of them, especially after Florian sets up traps to discourage hostiles lol)

o/ NICE
