Plotting Post!

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!

ANYTHING YOU CAN DO SHE CAN DO BETTER, ARCHER. SHE CAN DO ANYTHING BETTER THAN YOU.

As things stand right now — and this is particularly turning up due to Cobra, but I could see it generalizing to any of the Rockets, honestly — Carmen's starting to get a little irritated with them and the shenanigans they're pulling, and one of the likely ways she might respond to it is by aiming to beat them at their own game — out-thieving them, or getting to something they want first, or achieving the same thing but better, faster, neater...stuff like that.

So yeah, I would really love to get her into an ego match with Archer because she's so susceptible — to the point where she'll actually walk into a trap SHE KNOWS IS A TRAP just because she doesn't back down from the challenge. Granted we'd have to do some finagling to get things in line for it, it's true, but she knows that both Cobra and Kimblee are Rockets so pinging Archer wouldn't necessarily be as difficult as it might be otherwise, depending on how you wanted to play it? WE WILL FIND A WAY. It will be fun. :D

Oh yes; anyone who has seen Archer and Kimblee interact knows they're very close - it could easily be assumed that Archer would at least know about Kimblee's involvement in Team Rocket, if not actually be a member of the organization himself!

And if she taunted TR like that oh man would Archer go after her with the anonymous texts. Because EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO HE CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER TOTALLY!!!!!

I am so looking forward to anything involving these too, oh my god. 8D

Well, I can tell you right now that Archer is sort of on Carmen's radar anyway because of the discussion they had over the Meowth she bought — previously, every other time she's gotten an egg from someone, the dialogue has always been, "My key interest is in finding these dear creatures a good safe home," but with Archer it was "NO MAN LOOK HOW SWAG THIS CAT IS IT'S SO POWERFUL" and that made her go HMMM a little. Obviously that's nowhere even remotely near jumping to the conclusion that he's a Rocket, but he is a blip on her radar because of it, albeit a minor one. She also has the pictures of the Kimono Girls attack from off of Kimblee's Gear, but as yet she hasn't realized that the attack was caused by two people instead of just one.

So really, what she's got at the moment is a lot of potential pieces that will all abruptly fit together as soon as she gets The Big One, but she doesn't have the Big One yet and that's probably where the key to setting them off and running will come in. o/

OH MAN PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE TEXT WAR GO?? I hope he sends her some after she steals Cobra's bigass snake throne. SO MAD.
