Dawn of the Blessing OOC

[Falcon]

I also didn't mean to be late, ended up falling asleep all afternoon, whoops.

[Senna-Umbreon]

APPARENTLY, I am completely and UTTERLY blind and managed to miss one of Honey's posts in the Unova thread. How, I.. Do NOT EVEN KNOW. I'll fix that later, since I need to log off for a bit. >.>;;;;

[HoneyShuckle]

Thunderstorm just rolled in. Power might go out, so if I don't respond to anything, that's why.

[Falcon]

Yikes, sounds like everyone in the group has been getting thunderstorms lately. o_O

[Azunara]

Mmm rain.

[HoneyShuckle]

This must be the work of.... Thundurus...... Or Zapdos..... Or Raikou.. Or-

Point is, someone is behind this.... (Tough, there's no actual rain right now)

Luckily it's just thunder and lightning. Not like tornadoes or something. (At least around here. Pretty uncommon here.)

[Senna-Umbreon]

Yeah, there's actually supposed to be more thunderstorms here today. XD I dunno what's going on. maybe my Raikou is upset that I haven't brought him into the RP yet lol

...

actually no seriously I'm convinced that Pan is upset at me for not bringing him yet, and he's causing all of these XD

[HoneyShuckle]

@falcon; whoops, yeah, foresight's question wasn't directed at Veth, but he could have overheard the question, technically. Hopefully I'll remember to be more specific next time.

[Falcon]

D'oh, I thought not. XD Do you still want me to go back and edit my post?

[HoneyShuckle]

Never did. It's fine. XD Foresight should get to know the Yveltal as well.

[Falcon]

Naughty Pan. XD And okie doke, I'll keep it as it is, then~

[HoneyShuckle]

SO, Me and Senna think that it would probably be a good idea to do a timeskip once we get things wrapped up, because otherwise this house would take maybe.. another week IPR (In Physical realm) to actually leave. Heheheh.

But we also need to bring up... Where exactly are they going? I mean, Fayette has a plan, but Fayette's ideas are not law, despite what she might want sometimes.

[Azunara]

Yeah, definitely time skipping for the house, figuring out what the Blessing will do and getting them back in action would be a good idea.

Uh I honestly don't know. I should make like. a map. of where Blessing camps would be.

[Jurz]

Sorry I havent been posting guys, been too busy to even read it

[HoneyShuckle]

It's alright. We know you've been busy. It will work out!

[TK-Hikaru13]

/Crawls into the thread

I RETURN!

I also had Voodoo Doughnut for the first time in years so that's awesome too.

I'm gonna play some hardcore catch up, give me a moment.

EDIT: I think I'm gonna wait for Veth to land before taking control of my Johto characters again.

[Falcon]

Welcome back, TK! And that's perfectly fine by me.

[Azunara]

So I do/did have a plan for the whole Unova thread, but I'll save it until after the timeskip and they get out. My recommendation for the group is to head north to the forests with the Victory Road/Pokemon League area. I'd obviously suggest they steer clear, but there's heavy forest they can hide a large group, sources of water and logically food. It'd be a good, safe place for them to hide out. Might be risk of being seen by humans, but other than that it wouldn't be a huge issue.

I think next step is we need to really start having the Blessing press the chase, make it clear they're big and they're tireless. Start causing trouble, maybe nearby settlements are getting destroyed and the "mutant" species are blamed. Start really riling up the crowds and getting them worked up. In both regions evidently. Make it clear they need to do SOMETHING or else it'll get worse. And if other people have ideas let's start hashing them out.

[Moonlost]

Hmm, admittedly I'd like to keep the Johto band of the blessing a little more misguided, a little less evil for the sake of evil if at all possible, although well for selfish reasons. I'd be down with riling up the citizenry more against "mutations", even a little destruction for the purpose of furthering the cause, but I'd much prefer a more subtle approach than just a matter of destroying everything and when people ask who done it, pointing towards Ghost and Sol's group while whistling innocently.
I'm thinking that once the chaos of the chase dies down, the Blessing starts a large campaign promoting their cause. Moving bases into cities themselves and holing up as a sort-of police force (or gestapo). Bounties and rewards for each mutation brought in, be it alive or dead. Enforcement starts getting more strict, as anyone caught harbouring a mutant is also taken away. Drive up that fear and paranoia - and give normal people more of an incentive to turn their backs on their friends - or actively go hunting down. I'd imagine that the Burned Tower group especially would have quite the nice bounty on their heads once word gets back.

Thinking of getting Darius and co. involved once the Burned Tower group has had a chance to rest up - the following day, perhaps.

And apologies for the lack of a reply today - busy and distracted by other things. Will try to catch up later.

[Azunara]

I'd be okay with keeping the Johto blessing a bit less immediately dangerous. Gives a nice distinction between the two branches. Setting up a bounty could work, I mean after all both Blessing and the local pokemon would probably want the Tower group dealt with considering they "ruined" a Blessing camp. The idea of a force of Blessing really starting to enforce the anti-mutation laws and offering bounty for mutants caught would also be really cool as well. Could see that leading to interesting plot arcs in its own right.
