Plotting!

PLOT DISCUSSION
(derp, sorry for lateness...)

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!

Geddoe is that a challenge.

Albert is capable of out-grumping anyone.

LET'S DO THIS THING.

[lightningbearer]

Young man you are a hundred years too early to out-grump me. :|

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Oh Kato. You are going to lose so much cred with Cobra once this happens ):

Cobra can't help since y'know...Vermillion is really far, but he can definitely provide yelling at Kato.

Goldenrod Radio Tower Break-in

[darkenedgales]

You know what happens when two thieves have too much spare time on their hands?

They break into the Goldenrod Radio Tower, of course! In a mod-approved manner.

Seeing as Crow and Kaito have had suspicions about Team Rocket's presence in the Radio Tower since forever or so ago, now that they're in Goldenrod they're going to check it out. They won't be finding the connection to the HQ, of course (they're not that lucky), mostly just mild evidence that will probably be of no use to anyone but them (and let's face it, who in their right mind would share their findings there with Johto police...?). Being professionals, they know what they're doing and won't be getting caught or recognized, though.

What does that mean for you? Well, on Friday night, during the break-in, the two will be making an anonymous post directly from there because... that's how they roll, mostly (but checking for reactions is a bonus, too).

So yes. Look forward to thieving shenanigans, ask questions here if got any, etc!

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Oh, this is really cool.

If you do this, would you mind Cobra occasionally sending in stuff like Grimers or Ekans or other stuff like that to annoy Albert?

[worktodo]

oh my god

Albert would never in a million years make a /CHINHANDS face that I could icon into an adequate expression of my thoughts on this suggestion so please just accept this one of him laughing his head off.

YES I would love it if you did this. He might even keep some of them, depending on what Cobra sent.

(Though if he mailed Albert a Trubbish, NGL Albert would probably publicly hose down and disinfect the thing in his front yard, I'm just saying.)

[usedlaserbeam]

Unrelated to the plot as a whole, but I find this ridiculously hilarious considering they're going to be three days shy of the one-year anniversary of Yagyuu and Niou breaking into and hijacking the radio tower (the 17th vs. the 20th of August).

Suffice to say, Yagyuu might be a little nostalgic.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Oh god if he kept them, Cobra would be so furious.

And now I have to make him go find another Trubbish. Albert you are getting a Trubbish mailed to you once Cobra gets back to Johto.

[worktodo]

Well, and especially if it happens that Cobra is sending him stuff that Team Rocket traditionally uses, there might be some really interesting plotting potential there — I know that some of the Rockets are training their roster to attack humans, so it might be neat to see a response on the part of the Good Guys™ in the form of, like...Albert (and others) poking around an Arbok and figuring out how to neutralize the venom, or testing makeshift gas masks to handle Trubbish and Koffing fumes, or stuff like that. And to do that he'd need test subjects to examine, so...


oh my god poor trubbish SOMEONE GET THE TRUBBISH AN INTERVENTION

[enjoymyatelier]

Oh, excellent! Kayneth would be all over... both of those, really. Because, you know. Legends.

[torrentofbits]

I like this idea and Loki would totally come. He's technically centuries old... so that counts as 18+, right? >>;;

As for suggestions, the only bad movies I can think of are Snakes Sevipers on a Plane and Dungeons and Dragons Dragonites, the Movie.

[lightningbearer]

Sweet. |D ...though I imagine he'd be both awed and appalled if he found out details about how magic works and who can use it in Sion and Ryner's world. XD

[enjoymyatelier]

Oh god is it only for commoners........

[lightningbearer]

Not "only", but it's not restricted by class, just whoever gets the training. Which given that it's standard training for any kind of soldier, means that it's very typical for commoners to be trained in it to act as soldiers and bodyguards and such, as nobles don't care to let their own kin dirty their hands with that sort of grunt work, after all. :)

....on the other hand, all magic-users in denyuuden world can literally see the magical energy they're manipulating. |D

[enjoymyatelier]

....no....

[lightningbearer]

Clearly explaining this can only be fun times, amirite?

For what it's worth, though, countries in their world treat magic secrets the same way mage families in Kayneth's world do. Similar principles, different scale!

[enjoymyatelier]

...okay that honestly sounds pretty rad

magic: like nukes in a way

[lightningbearer]

.....you know that is probably more true than you even realize.

I mean. it's explicitly mentioned somewhere in the canon materials that the reason all the extant countries have a crapton of magic, is because over the course of centuries of warfare and competition, all the countries who had inferior magic were wiped out. So. Yes. :Db

[seasaltkeys]

Of course it does. He just looks young for his age.

Both awesome suggestions. We need the pokemon version of Samuel L Jackson.

[torrentofbits]

sweeeeeet. he sort of has the mentality of a 13 year old too but he knows how to act well.

Yes, yes we do. He was, after all, the lead trainer in Afro Samurott.

[enjoymyatelier]

hahahaha snap

So is there like... magical espionage and shit? Because that sounds incredibly boss. I may have to check this thing out. Are there any smug middle-aged men whose souls are crushed over the course of the series?

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

Well, Apollo's well on his way to knowing everything there is to know about the local flora and fauna. He likes watching how nature works and talking about it with people who are willing to hear about it, but I can't picture him actually joining a research team of any kind. Especially not one involving pretentiousness in human form. Granted I can see him at some point being convinced to make a big video post explaining Berries and edible plants for the new arrivals, so what do I know. I guess I'll just see what happens and if I can throw him at something.

[enjoymyatelier]

...since Albert is working on that too, this is just making me think of Apollo and Albert collaborating and I'm just losing my shit over it

[worktodo]

HE IS NOT WORKING WITH MOWGLI THANK YOU VERY MUCH

GO BACK AND HANG OUT WITH BALOO AND BAGHEERA WHERE YOU BELONG

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

...Did you seriously just suggest that? Because I'm not sure if that's a hilarious idea or a terrible one.

Does the scientific method have a place for "I know what this plant does because I asked a Pokémon and heard it answer in my mind."
