I JUST REALIZED A THING that I had in fact set up that is logistically borking some plans and I am so, so sorry
Mouth Powers
one of the much quieter precautions Jedao takes is that he just doesn't have his engine room key on him all the time. he probably wouldn't have taken it on vacation but even if he did, canonically all his shit was smashed under the Enposib and he washed up on the bank with nothing
Mouth Powers
he....shouldn't have it for this
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
Oh oh ohhhhhhh. So Pyotr could have found the key?
Lenga
Honestly I've wondered this for other items and keys too and it's kinda... Hmm
Lenga
So I do wonder if another solution could be found because "so much stuff was lost in the Enposib crash so now the barge is more magically impervious" is a bit anticlimactic
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
No, it looks like Pyotr will not be able to get into the engine room at all, then.
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
If the key is in the bottom of the ocean on that planet with the Enposib.
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
Unless someone was down there scavenging
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
hmmm
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
There was a lot of people moving in and out of there, before and after the NS arrived
Jay
what if someone scavenged from his room?
Jay
he was on deck when the wave hit?
Jay
or, now, you said he would have left it on the barge to begin with....
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
So I guess the question is, did he leave it on the barge or in the enposib?
Kira🌵
Or if Jedao asked for it back now that the Admiral is in range for supplies/replacements...?
Kira🌵
(if it were in fact on the bottom of the ocean)
Mouth Powers
hmmmmmmmm I think - well, if Jedao had brought it on the Enposib, which isn't impossible, it's important enough that he would have been sure to salvage it, even if he had to do some crazy gravity shit to the ship
Mouth Powers
maybe he asked someone else to carry it while he was sans pockets and then gets it back before going back to the barge?
Mouth Powers
if he left it in his cabin it's possible he could then go grab it to check on the engine room, also
Mouth Powers
I think I like the first better, I will figure out a workaround
Mouth Powers
most wardens would definitely have kept their items
Mouth Powers
since they still had inmate life tracking abilities and whatnot, and lots of folks did not get As Wrecked in the crash
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
Who would he trust and is there still a way for it to end up in Yennefers hands?
Mouth Powers
he'd probably most likely trust it to Edwin, but if Jedao asks for it back once returned to the barge we can do something pretty close to the original plan
Mouth Powers
do we still want to go with Pyotr attacking him first or him telling Yennefer that Jedao is the Engine Room warden?
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
I think I would rather go with Pyotr attacking him first, simply because then it gives Movie Club more info about the engine room and I like him getting away with the "I was possessed" con, lol
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
I'm cool with either, as long as Pyotr attacking him first doesn't pull an army of people to protect Jedao. Though Yen has been able to handle rather large groups in canon, too
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
Maybe he could take the engine room key and give her the warden item, assuming Jedao has that too?
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
so then she can go trash enclosure or whatever
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
just brainstorming...
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
Is our aim to do some damage to the engine room?
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
Because she will be down there anyway doing damage
~(=^‥^)_。
Oh the engine room isn't that where one of sjy's pets ended up?
~(=^‥^)_。
the winged cat
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
I dont think it will be possible to do damage to the engine room because there are protective spells on it that transport anyone who enters that doesnt have the right blood (I think it was) to the holding floor on room 8. so I was just looking for ways to allow Yennifer to do damage elsewhere
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
holding room on floor 8** lol
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
Oh my bad. I assumed with the key it would be different
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
But if Pyotr attacks him in the engine room it's open and Jedao is in it?
Mouth Powers
the thought is Pyotr getting the key from him, then going to the engine room, then getting ported out - that sets him up to have more info!
Mouth Powers
he won't have a warden item bc his item is cards and they were super destroyed in the crash
Mouth Powers
but there are a lot more of those that might be stealable
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
/nodnod
Mouth Powers
he's gonna need to request a new one eventually
Mouth Powers
and yes,
~(=^‥^)_。
Glissandi the winged cat magic robot is a guard/alarm in there, but the alarm goes to Jedao so
Mouth Powers
whoops
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
maybe if NS'ers see what happens with the engine room, that people go in and immediately get teleported out, maybe one of them will try just chucking a grenade in it >_>
Mouth Powers
and also Florian but even calling back up he can be a step or two behind
~(=^‥^)_。
ooops indeed but yeah so just saying that even with the alarm and stuff she's still a cat and cats can be sneaky / starts shielding an alarm in his ear and flying around knocking things on him kinda thought there
Mouth Powers
I mean, Ye Zun made her and said at the time she'd learn tricks as she hung around! but if no one is in there who shouldn't be for more than a split second, she might not come into play until the next attempt
Mouth Powers
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
I definitely want to let a cool attempt happen but I also do kind of want the fact that they set up all these IC precautions months ago to like....matter
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
got it, i am not planning for pyotr to be able to accomplish anything this time
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
or ever, really
Mouth Powers
okay, just wanted to make sure everybody's on the same page
Mouth Powers
(cause, low key, while it's definitely POSSIBLE for a handwavy ambiguously powered-up Pyotr with the vagueness of MCU to temporarily disable Jedao, it would definitely take some luck and him not like....fighting fully at the top of his abilities. which is plausible! but I don't want there to be really bad consequences for the Engine Room because he failed
Mouth Powers
at something he'd usually be quite good at, because he's really invested in the Engine Room and it'd be pretty unfun for me to play the aftermath of that in that way)
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
i understand, nothing shall happen to the engine room then
Mouth Powers
I'm 100% not saying the barge revolutionaries can't ever get into it (and the grenade idea is great....as long as Gliss doesn't bat it back xD) , but not when I've kinda bent Jedao's likelihood to take the L from his baseline
Mouth Powers
thank you for understanding, I know it's fun to come up with a MILLION ideas when there's a huge runup to stuff like this
Mouth Powers
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
is that all OK with you too? I def want Yennifer to be able to so some big fuckery in various locations
Mouth Powers
(she could probably do some magic to just telekinetically steal an item if Pyotr can ID one for her that someone is willing to have nabbed?) and that would get her into the Enclosure if that's a target
Mouth Powers
idk about folks with kitchen keys
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
is it okay if the lesson pyotr takes from this is "i should have chucked a grenade, i'll do that next time?" (there may never be a next time)
~(=^‥^)_。
oh no perfectly understandable it was a thought because cat! you know how it goes.
Mouth Powers
yeah, definitely!
Mouth Powers
re: getting the grenade idea!
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
this is praxis
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
got to.... learn from the struggle...
Mouth Powers
(i think it would be SO funny if there is a next time - and with Harry coming in and getting an Engine Key there will probably be opportunities - and then the cat gargoyle robot guard just. cat swipes the grenade back out into the hall)
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
wait, harry going to work in the engine room? omg omg
Mouth Powers
Pyotr: godDAMNit. okay plan 3
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
and yeah, i am so down for the robot cat swiping it back next time that would be SO FUNNY
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
PRAXIS!!! TIME FOR PLAN 3!!! AT LEAST IM TRYING HERE!!!
Mouth Powers
also
Mrs Sheepie
what are your thoughts on Harry entering the engine room with every surety that the admiral has given him authority, only he ALSO gets booted out bc he hasn't gotten put onto the magic passwords yet. and a bleary jedao has to go get him and say sorry dude
Mrs Sheepie
honestly that's so funny and on par with Harry's general life
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
i love harry so much... lmao
~(=^‥^)_。
Gliss the not!robot robot cat just eying the weird round thing and going no f that and bats it out the door
~(=^‥^)_。
(what his critters are is more like a spirit housed inside a metal frame so less robot and more possession. they're golems of sort)
Mouth Powers
cat golem!!! love that way to describe it
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
yeah, that's cool. can i still stick to her doing some damage to the 8th floor outside the engine room (for what it's worth Natasha can hand hers off, too, if getting another one doesn't happen). I was just looking to find a way to keep things even, hit for hit.
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
if i made a pain in the ass out of myself for making too many grabby hands, I apologize
Mouth Powers
she can absolutely still fuck up 8th floor! and you are great, I just realized things were getting closer to my having committed to something that was getting bigger than I'd anticipated, thanks for flexible with it <3
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
i also agree that it is more interesting if things are more even in the fight
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
alright, awesome <3 let me know if her fucking things up is better before or after Pytor and Jedao's exchange?
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
obviously after will make getting to the door a bit challenging
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
er before*
Mouth Powers
I don't think it makes a huge difference, but if Yen fucks up level 8 first it might also put Jedao more on guard, so lets say her attack is after?
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
sounds good!
Jay
gotta ask, who is Harry?
Mouth Powers
he's a vidya character whom Mani has apped who will be arriving immediately post-event lol
Jay
ah, cool
Lenga
Harry!
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
Jay
he will most likely be pyotr's permanent warden
Mrs Sheepie
he's basically an eastern Europe post-revolution police officer. who has complete retrograde amnesia and his feelings literally talk to him
ʀᴜsʟɪᴛ ᴀɴᴛᴀɢ🧨
Mouth Powers
the Vibes of the GeomeTree
Mouth Powers
nostalgically posting with the character who originally put it there
Jay
you know... Shen Wei really should have spent some time with the geometree, I just always forgot it was there :/
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
oooh
Jay
Mrs Sheepie
: lol, that is some bullshit right there, and I love him already. He'll fit in perfectly with everyone else's bullshit!
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
the character's journal name
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
sʜᴀᴍᴇʟᴇss
full circle moment if i ever saw one
sword gremlin 🔪
I don't remember/know all the details but in case it's still relevant, the engine room on the Barge also has a roomba security robot that Cloud and Nico built XD
sword gremlin 🔪
(er, all the details about this plan to get into the engine room that is)
Mouth Powers
...I think I might have lost that thread actually, do I owe you a tag on it?
Mouth Powers
....also is it roomba shaped and Gliss (mechanical cat golem) can ride on it, please say yes
sword gremlin 🔪
ye it's your tag on that one! and it is totally roomba shaped and the cat golem can totally ride on it XD
sword gremlin 🔪
all good though, I haven't had the brainspace to tag anything prior to the NS showing up anyway, so much backtagging in my future
Mouth Powers
I will dig it up!!
Mouth Powers
Kahl has been super loud for the first time EVER, I've never had Jedao be the quieter character before sdlgnsd
sword gremlin 🔪
that reminds me that I do owe you a tag for Kahl, I think!
sword gremlin 🔪
oh no, I did tag that one...eventually ksfjgsd
Mouth Powers
where is that one? i thought I was mostly caught up on him O_O
sword gremlin 🔪
it's the dream one, I can grab it
sword gremlin 🔪
this one! it took me a billion years to tag it back cuz that's when work exploded sdkjg
Mouth Powers
DREAMS, omg
Mouth Powers
THERE
Mouth Powers
happy to chat it out if you want to move on from it but also happen to backtag life
sword gremlin 🔪
ooh awesome I'm down to backtag it, once I catch up on pre-event things
