PLOT DISCUSSION

TRAINER TIPS:
→ This is for general, game-wide or location-wide plots, larger-scale player plots, and general plotting ideas. This is not a CR meme.
→ The idea of this post is to help generate discussion, inspire, or plot out overall plots, as well as bounce ideas off of your fellow players and moderators. We will also be letting everyone know the overall ideas of what we'll have coming up, and you can give us input on those as well!
→ Please play nice while discussing things! Remember, it's okay to disagree, but be polite!

Oh man, he's not that kind of guy. He'll wait for her to get better.

Actually, he's totally willing to kick her while she's down. He led strikes against G.I. Joe while their leader was in a coma, so it doesn’t really matter to him. He just needs a location and a plan, so someone or something can pay Lightning a visit.

[soggypastry]

Oh, Mr. Cobra. You're so kind!

And the fact she can't really fight back now just makes things easier, huh? Ah, the wonders of cracked ribs and busted joints. Poor Lightning.

As for location, Kimblee may be getting him backdated information that Lightning's in Olivine since before the trash event went down, and she's still there, so...I'm sure we work that out ICly somehow. I'm open for him/his "agent" doing anything to her, too, so no worries there.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

He is totally the kindest person ever. Everyone else just doesn’t get it.

Poor Lightning, indeed. But her loss is Cobra’s gain or something like that.

He’ll probably just want to put a scare into her and any allies she has. And since she’s a major target in his opinion, he’ll probably keep this one within TR. Though the idea of seeing if he can send Vanitas after her is pretty tempting

[soggypastry]

Then clearly they just don't understand at all. He should teach them! Spread his wisdom.

Or something...or it could be Cobra's loss, too, if she decides to focus her efforts on him in return. Which could happen. Maybe. :3

Well, the easiest way to put a real spook into them would be to hit after midnight, when the Center would have kicked any visitors out and she'd be asleep. An attempted smothering might work, though I say attempted only because Johto doesn't allow for death so it may be trickier than just that. Maybe poison her IV? Keeping it quiet and leaving little trace would also be a good way to put a scare into them. No signs of who, no chance of payback. Or send Vanitas and watch nothing much happen. Either works. :3

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

And then he learned why taunting Johto is a bad idea?

That's too simple. He'd want to I dunno, have someone leave snakes left in the lobby that crawl through the ductwork and somehow move the pillow over there while poisoning the IV at the same time or something.

Or send ninjas.

But since he doesn't have access to those, he'll probably tell whoever it is to do something like that. Or at the least, tell them to be creative.

And then he learned why taunting Lightning and company is a bad idea. She helps command an army, Cobra; making her angry may not be the best idea you've ever had, and she has several protective friends. Making them angry is also a terrible idea.

And he should learn that simple is sometimes better, especially when creative uses of snakes and ninjas aren't an option. Though...he might be able to send his Seviper to bite and poison her instead, if it fits through the ducts. It would get a lot more attention, especially if they catch and find out who it belongs to, but since when has he shied away from letting people know what he's done, right?

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I think if he was capable of learning something like that, he probably wouldn’t have spent 25+ years losing in pretty much every medium there is.

As far as he thinks, simple is what you go with when nothing better is available. His Seviper’s fortunately/unfortunately being borrowed by Archer at the moment, so that might not be an option. But it’s an idea I’ll definitely keep in mind! It'd be relatively easy to figure out who it belongs to since it's not really a common Pokemon in Route.

[soggypastry]

...that's a very good point. Oh, 80's villains. So over the top.

Well, there's plenty of time to figure something out that isn't simple if he really wants to make it...flashy. She'll be in the Center for at least two weeks from today, so either he gets his Seviper back and we go with that, or we figure something else out. :3 Like I said, I really am good with anything.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I'll check out some old episodes over the weekend in case anything catches my attention, but he'll probably go with the simple route just because.

I'll probably send you a message in the next couple days to hammer things out if that's okay with you?

[soggypastry]

hey, simple is good. :3 so long as it works, right? xD Who knows, Cobra might have something actually go according to plan and work the way it's supposed to for once.

And I am totally okay with that, yes. Details need to be hammered to smooth perfection and all that.
