Plan Time: Pt 2

[crypddyd]

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.

[ 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]

So being the one who inspires everyone's greed should be the key to Authority, much like the last time.

[ourtomorrow]

[ ...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]

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]

I can get one.

[ Probably. Except, if that's what they need from him... ] For sure.

[emberserker]

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]

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]

You say it like it might not be normal luck. Something like an Executor power, for Authorities?

[ourtomorrow]

[ Authorities are what Executors could become. Monarch has learned that theory the hard way, so... ]

We can't rule it out.

[emberserker]

That's true. Didn't Esme have special abilities? So we just need to learn what she can do.

[ourtomorrow]

Right.

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