I am officially calling it the Atropocalypse btw and I'm amazed no one else had thought of it

ANYWAY

here's the planning doc our batman made!

Darin is currently in the middle of Getting info from Darth Jadus

about what stopping Atropos would entail

according to the clues and everything we have on hand OOCly, Darin is going to propose thus:

handpicking at least 50 of the most powerful imPorts to take place in the summoning while the rest of us (including the majority of Aegis) act as a bulwark for OTO to basically smash themselves against so they can't infiltrate the summoning

Darin will personally lead the guard defending whoever is summoning

helm's deep except bodies

yaaaaaaaaas, Finn definitely wants to be part of this guard

if you're an imPort of the cosmic power variety, looking at you Allura, you might want to be on the summoning team

Finn's also getting the same info from Bean but I'm running on that he heard it from Aegis/Darin first or something

Mmm, yeah, she's pretty much a dead ringer for the summoning team

that's fine

luc has holy sword to offer if of use otherwise she can b relegated to bashing oto skulls

She's still bringing her bayard and such, in case some do manage to infiltrate, but... given the group defending the summoning, that should be an extremely unlikely contingency plan

anyway, his big idea is to join with the Justice League and imPact, personally approach at least 50 of the most powerful imPorts, and talk them into summoning while the rest of the teams defend them from what is sure to be one hell of an onslaught

sick

BUT, Darin also thinks the defense should be split between two rings

ty for this, my head has not been in the plotting game

the first ring dealing with the OTO counter assault, while the rear guard keeps an eye on the summoning to make sure things don't go wrong THERE

mine either, i appreciate this call to action so much lol

pohutukaryl linatrinch no problem! I live for this stuff

that's a good idea

are they going to have help from the military?

I've been thinking about this shit since I joined the game

I can ask on the plotting post

also i'm not sure which ring Finn would be best suited :|a he's good at strategy, lots of combat experience, but his best powers are teleporting and a backfiring healing ability. he's got nothing offensive except his own skills, so maybe he should act as medic/evac

sorry im typing out my thoughts lol

but i love this whole plan

anyway, Darin's going to propose the summoning group in the center, around them a platoon of imPorts defending them in the event the summoning goes sideways/OTO manages to break through, and then three separate battalions orbiting that

think of a radiation symbol

and that's the formation he's considering

i like it

Amazing

like so

linatrinch that's fine! Given that knowledge, Darin would probably suggest that Finn keep to the back. We don't know what this is going to do to drain the summoners, so keeping some healers on that inner ring to keep them up and running would be ideal

random thought which I will have Ash propose to Darin ICly in the next couple days: main unit is down one, reserves are empty. could recruit, help give people some structure/a plan to deal with the Atropolypse

sounds good then!

pohutukaryl yeah! That works! I just updated the reserve page myself

also choosing a well defensible location could be a big aid

but I haven't gotten around to removing Akobi and asking Luther's player if they want him to sign up as an active agent

since life is also kicking me in the head

linatrinch Agreed on the location. But that's something all teams would have to be unified on

also, if anyone has Batman's player on their timeline and wants to link them to this we can get some more inter-team planning going as well!

batguy toots trumpet

WHAT WHAT DO YOU WANT

WE'RE CROSS-POLLINATING TEAM PLANS YA BAT-COOT

oh

do we want to do this in the doc at all? considering teams besides aegis and jl are joining n

so far i've got titans, umbrella academy, star warses, and a bunch of randos

besides us

yeah I'll go ahead and put in Darin's proposal on behalf of Aegis

but collaboratively i was thinking like considering both aegis and jl are the best prepared with like arming the others they would all equip them probably for WARRRRR

FUCK YES FORGE MONTAGE

TIME TO TEAR OFF MY SHIRT AND UPGRADE SOME GEAR

would u like to play around with NANOMACHINES, DARIN

collaboratively named JUSTICE FORCE

that sounds real 90s and i like it

Darin:

YES PLZ

also, Darin/Aegis plans have been added to the planning doc

NICE JOB GANKING BATMAN'S IDEA, DARIN

Cayde's a perfect fit for OTO crowd control because that's where his strengths lie

the next thing we should do is OOCly find out which 50 imPorts are gonna do the thing

Yeah, I was going to say, it looks like most volunteering is for the defense

LISTEN, BATMAN NOW'S NOT THE TIME TO PLAY MY IDEA OR YOUR IDEA

We're going to need to find 50, or tap a few on the shoulder to summon

WHAT IF THE IDEA WAS TO PLAY WHO KICKS WHO IN THE CHEST FIRST!!!!!!

like we should throw together a sign-up with the caveat that 'your character might not like it and want to be on the front lines but just assume you were SELECTED'

BRING IT BATMAN

just as a heads up i threw up a question to the mods whether or not batman could find out any more information regarding the ceremony i.e. the twins and stuff, and that includes going to the oto

whether that means paying them off or whatever

Allura is not afraid to talk some people into it if they would need some coercion to join the summoning, she gets it we ALL want to punch instead

OTO has been like begging for some punches

just don't give them weapons Batman

But this is more like spiritually punching them. In the plans.

i mean he would totally pretend to be playing both sides

absolutely

like 100%

if we could get out of this alive and successful AND everyone being angry at batman for ensuring success like

that would be a++ for me lmf

I want Darin to be mad at Batman for having cooler stuff than him

God

because i mean the oto needs them to complete the ceremony anyway right? they want power, so they're really depending on the imports to complete it anyway

also yes we can make that happen

darin do you need allura to make you cooler equipment with bullshit space magic

8|

DON'T 'GOD' ME ALL OF HIS GADGETS HAVE A THEME

WE CAN GIVE YOU A THEME TOO

WHAT THEME DO YOU WANT

SOMETHING COOLER THAN BATS

LIONS IT IS

bats are fuckin awesome sorry

nope bats are cooler thanks bye

oh shit you shouldn't have said that

SAY THAT TO MY FACE

I think he just did

hey lets see your mech

I WILL ALIEN SPACE SUPLEX YOU BATMAN

yeah i thought so

OH YOU WANNA SEE MY MECH

or perhaps you would likethis mech

LET'S FUCKING GO

or maybe this one

See this is why Darin loves Allura

HE'S GOT A MILLION THANKS

It’s not the constant font of emotional and mental support and the structure she brings to his life

It’s this

aw look at that cute little kitty cat robot

so adorable

Darin has some questions about that third robot though

Bitch you will eat those words when you're getting cut by blazing sword

Like aesthetically what is happening here

Honestly that last robot gets points docked

Lucina is going to flip the planning table THE ANIMAL MOTIF DOESNT MATTER

OF COURSE IT MATTERS

yeah branding is like half of being a superhero

you have a lot to learn lucina

I DIDN'T GO THROUGH THE TRIAL OF THE WHITE LION, GUARDIAN SPIRIT OF THE ALTEAN RACE, AND LEARN OUR SACRED ART TO HAVE SOMEONE TELL ME THE ANIMAL MOTIF DOESN'T MATTER

he's got a bat mask he's got a symbol of a bat on his suit, he's got a cape that spreads out like a bat, he's got batarangs, a batmobile, a bat*plane

he lives in the batcave

respect his going all in for his aesthetic pls

Darin wishes he had an animal aesthetic now...

I just have this stupid world crushing demon soul

It’s stupid I hate it

join team lion, his home base is a cave, ours is a mythical city in a special pocket dimension

... ... ...

out of character I apologize for derailing this plurk

join team bat you get a lot of cool shit but you'll probably end up with ptsd and a dad who ignores you

and for any in-character arguments that happen because they absolutely shoudl

(team lion has space dad, we win)

i mean there's a dad on team bat

just like

not a great one

I think Darin is contractually obligated to join team lion on account of the fact he’s dating the daughter of the person who founded it

haHA

oh by the way even if batman can't help win this by being deceptive like they can all still be angry at him for all of the nanomachine crafted armor and suits to immediately fall apart after he remotely destroys them when the battle is over

He’s not a paladin he’s a Lion Guard

YOU DICK

[emo102]

oh lmao plurk always knows how to tell me when i'm out of plurk coins

ARE YOU GOING TO STRAND HALF THE IMPORTS ON THE BATTLEFIELD IN THEIR SKIVVIES

I would admittedly laugh my ass off

NO HE'S GOING TO DO THAT AFTER THEY WIN

but yes

thanks for your help guys

After they win and everyone is rejoicing on the battlefield

/grapples away into the air via batplane and peaces out

Suddenly everyone is mostly naked and Batman is flying off in his hat shaped jet flipping everyone off

the justice league like yeah this is how he is

Bat shaped come on autocorrect

you get used to it

hatman would be a great super hero tho

that's basically the mad hatter

he's not that great

It’s true

oh also batman was going to see if the scarlet witch could attune lucina's falchion to atropos power

i mean wanda is really a lynchpin in this plan tbh

if you could get like

a bunch of power enhancers to keep her standing while she keeps magic users on atropos' wavelength

... what kind of power enhancing

like i don't think it'd be super feasible for wanda to power up/change the nature of all magic users powers

but like if she had a team of healers/enhancers to back her up to keep her conscious and like amp up her abilities

psylocke

No, I ask because that sounds like something Allura could absolutely help out with, but she's also absolutely a good pick for the summoning

tbh batman is going all in to learn more about it or see if there are alternatives because he's real not into the idea of potentially sacrificing two people so some chump ass gods can get reborn

Well if not, I'm inrigued by the teamup for a later plot

Allura's an energy channeler, sort of an empathic magic -- one who primarily works with life energy. Her healing is more like revitalization than literally stitching up wounds or purging disease

bats would totally offer himself up if there was any chance at it working before anyone else had to go up

oh that could work

as we all get closer to figuring out a game plan between all of us, one of us can throw up the rundown to the mods about like what the plan is

If need be, there's a lot of ways to BS her assisting Scarlet Witch without being there, too. She can actually use energy-manipulation in making alien technology, I'm sure making a one-time supercharger battery thing is doable

SO

here's the answer i got from the mods regarding bruce's detective works

actually it's p long so i'm gonna post it in the doc lmao

alright posted

just be aware that i posted the complete plotting on the ooc post because it was suggested to me by jaina to get it in sooner than later because the mods were already working on writing the outcome

sounds good

let's hope we can save the world

Thank you for that

And yes! Fingers crossed
