The Assault on Unity Plaza OOC Thread.

So, there it is. While the big guns are away on Rolando Island, the Shadow Cabinet have made their first overt move at last. And it's a big one.

Knives, Malta and the Cabinet's own special forces, as few as they are. It's going to be a tough one. Winning might be possible. Survival though is the key.

I won't kill anyone's character, promise! They might, but I won't, it's up to you. Feel free to use some of their numbers. Have a crowning moment of awesome, or get your rear handed to you on a plate. Let's make it -fun- though!

I enjoyed the setup and look forward to reading this. Loved the snakes on a plane reference.

Yeah i got the 24 thing, had the whole DUM DUM blinking time thing in my head as i read it.
Can't wait to see how it pans out and how people write their parts.

The timing system:

It's in place so that too much doesn't happen while people are at work and without access, so that we have a rough idea of the pace of events, if slightly estimated, and to keep things in short bursts.

We're currently at the end of Minute 0 and the start to end of Minute 1. Things are still in disarray, people are in shock, and the emergency measures are just begining for the students. The call for minute 2 will probably happen when I get home from work, but!

This does not mean you can't post something that happened before. If we're on Minute 3 and you want to write some stuff about minute 1, then that's fine. Minute 4 though is not fine! This means people without access to the boards during the day can still take actions and catch up.

I would ask that people replying to other posts quote the one they're posting from, just that part, let's not get any post pyramids going though. So:

Post A.

Also, while as we can see Leo's reached 12:01:51 so far in his situation, once it reaches 12:01:59 we can consider that bit 'paused' till the start of the next minute. This allows people to post other things for that minute still without rushing time along and getting people lost.

Anyway, I have to get to work now, feel free to do stuff up to that 12:01:59 mark!

*wanders in* It's not involving me, but I have to say I love the idea of a definate timer. The slews of posts on previous threads on this board have been my main reason for not participating in most of them. Great idea Zortel. *wanders off*

I would *love* to get involved in this, unfortunately Freddy/Headliner is actually in the Isles right now and not in Paragon. Darn

an FYI for you - Gemini is Leo's sister, who was left for dead in Unity Tower's lobby. She has been locked in the medical facilities for her own protection for the last few months.

There is more to Leo and Gemini's story that I have not got around to writing yet, but those are the bare bones.

Gotta say, I'm not in the best position to run with this, and my brain's not really in roleplay. I think Annette has let Ni out. I'll try to keep up, but if I fall away, assume Ni is probably getting a little over-zealous in cutting down the numbers of ambushing Knives.

Just for clarification, who is in which tower?

Leo - Vigilance
Gemini - Unity

Cara is in Vigilance, though a different stairwell to Leo.

Ach, pity that the cafetaria date was set for thursday or friday. Had it been wednesday and I would've tossed in a Lea.

As I have no-idea who is in Unity Towers lobby, there is a heal up for grabs to the first person who wants it

To the best of my knowledge, it includes (but is not limited to): Liberty Girl, ADAOS, and the three Sisters of Artemis (Melissa, Julie and Marie), plus whatever 'bad guys' are in there.

It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*
