Plan Time: Pt 2

Everyone, I think it is time that we set our plans into motion. Please, gather at the Invidia mansion as soon as you are able.

[Though for how ominous that sounds, Lion himself isn't there? But there is a phone propped up on the table with a piece of paper under it: "turn me on~" If woken up, they will find that there's a facetime app running and Lion (and likely Ruin too) is on call. It's aimed at his shoulder rather than his face but he's trying!]

Ah- Sorry I can't join you all. Leaving this layer is a bit too much of a risk right now. But I believe last time we all gathered we largely agreed that attacking Greta's funds directly was our best course of action. Ruin has been working on earning a place at the- what was it called?

...

High Roller? Very Well. The High Roller tables- so if previous behavior is to be believed she should come to defend her title if he starts winning large amounts. I suggest we split into two teams- one team to cover and support Ruin as he does this. And one team to attack the bank. I... will not be able to join either side, as Greta may call me to her aid. So you may have to 'fight' me. If so, of course, I will throw any fight and look for a chance to aid you.

The question is this: who would like to do each role? We should likely nominate a leader for the bank team as well.

[ Mona doesn't particularly want to be the centre of attention, or to spearhead any plans when she doesn't consider herself all that bright or innovative. she especially doesn't want to propose anything that could go wrong and get everyone hurt. but there's been a lack of direction with her planning, and — well, she keeps thinking of Lupin. she doesn't remember everything they did together, but she thinks she has an idea of what he would do. ]

When we talked about the bank, we weren't really sure if we should do something at the vault itself or with the account administration that Monarch found...

Um... [ she takes a breath and seems to steel herself a bit: ] I think we should do both. If we go after the physical vault, we can cause some chaos as a distraction. And that way, a few people can sneak in and get access to the bank's systems.

As for the distraction, we could put out a heist notice early. My Executor weapon is still in a vault, so if we make that our first "successful" heist by having it disappear, it should be more of a threat when we announce we're going after Greta's vault. Then on the day of that heist, Ruin makes a scene at the casino — if we're right, Greta won't have a choice but to confront him, and everyone's attention will be divided.

I think... that's what a Phantom Thief would do.

[ Monarch listens to this. Use their superior numbers....Use the fact they've investigated in multiple angles to their advantage. ]

I'll do it. [ Just so everyone knows. ] The time we've all spent preparing shouldn't be in vain.
emberserker: Posing, about to use her scythe or axe. (i'm the coolest)

[personal profile] emberserker 2021-04-02 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Naturally. So we want to attract her attention and then split the crowd?
ourtomorrow: (leaf)

[personal profile] ourtomorrow 2021-04-03 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Monarch nods. And thinks. ]

It's possible.....it's also possible that Authority is transferred based on wealth. In that case, if we can raise our own while lowering hers....

[ But then he looks down. ]

Though that's conjecture.
emberserker: Eyes closed, preparing to fight. (just a moment)

[personal profile] emberserker 2021-04-03 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
So is anything, at this point. This is a greed layer, isn't it?
ourtomorrow: (silent)

[ Monarch tries not to let Wolfsbane...being Wolfsbane...bother him. She's like this, she has heard. He doesn't understand it.

But it doesn't matter right now. ]
So it seems.
emberserker: Stern look. (this is why you're wrong)

[personal profile] emberserker 2021-04-03 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
So being the one who inspires everyone's greed should be the key to Authority, much like the last time.

[ ...wait, did she

was her goal to agree with him?

Huh. That feels...nice. ]


Right!

[ He's going to be able to help?

He's going to be able to help! ]
emberserker: Laughing to herself, creepy expression. (nope that doesn't look good)

[personal profile] emberserker 2021-04-03 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Take what we need from her and crush her with despair. You must have an outline of the bank and all its weak points, then?
ourtomorrow: (DGMN02bd_EP45_38596)

[personal profile] ourtomorrow 2021-04-04 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
I can get one.

[ Probably. Except, if that's what they need from him... ] For sure.
emberserker: Arrogant glare. (i'm the greatest)

[personal profile] emberserker 2021-04-04 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Good. I suppose if we're invading them, there's less need to set traps around like last time, though there's nothing wrong with a straightforward approach, either.
ourtomorrow: (but)

[personal profile] ourtomorrow 2021-04-04 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll need to be aware there's many things we don't know, too. We still aren't sure what role, if any, "luck" plays in all of this....

[ "My luck ran out." That's what the phantom had said. ]
emberserker: Eyes closed, preparing to fight. (just a moment)

[personal profile] emberserker 2021-04-05 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
You say it like it might not be normal luck. Something like an Executor power, for Authorities?
ourtomorrow: (plan)

[personal profile] ourtomorrow 2021-04-05 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Authorities are what Executors could become. Monarch has learned that theory the hard way, so... ]

We can't rule it out.
emberserker: Arms crossed, standing by a pillar. (quick comment)

[personal profile] emberserker 2021-04-06 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
That's true. Didn't Esme have special abilities? So we just need to learn what she can do.
ourtomorrow: (angst)

[personal profile] ourtomorrow 2021-04-06 10:57 am (UTC)(link)
Right.

[ Monarch has a moment of grim grimace at that. He still, uh, hasn't figured out what his Executor power is. ]

[ Rei's nodding along. ]

Yes. I don't like the idea of stealing, but I think it's the best way to manage this. But, um... I also think we really need to make a show of it. I don't know if it's necessarily going to be enough just for us to take her money. She needs to really feel like she's lost to us.

I can help attack the actual vault. I have no idea what this "account administration" is, and I'm not working the casino.
