OOC Plotting Post - X-Dere Virus (Sena/Issei kidnapping plot)
This is an OOC plot post for anything related to the Sena/Issei kidnap plot, done in Greed's character journal so as not to spam too many people with this plot, and to allow a note to the OOC community to come here when the initial group (Issei/Lancer/Sena/Greed) has made enough ground to start involving other people. Thanks to everybody who may be involved at this point for waiting it out for us!
RESCUE PHASE I - LANCER, ISSEI, SENA, GREED
This is based on the fact that of all characters intending to be involved, Lancer has the quickest means to arrive and other people who both know the location and expressed intent to arrive expressed IC intent to wait for some time period, or had to plan between themselves. This is also because it's possible Lancer will save both hostages and there will be no real room for anybody else to do much; in which case, Sena, her CR and I will determine whether something can be done for them (such as requesting NPC permission to have Greed threaten Sena's family to get her back and need some heroes to stop him, etc.). The point is that while we would like as many people who wanted to be involved to be able to be involved, the most important thing is not to force anyone to be OOC or to make assumptions that would be OOC of other characters, particularly the four who are central to the first part of the rescue plot.
I think at this rate handwaving with a summary of action determined between us would be best due to time constraints. Without knowing if Issei is injured or how Sena views all parties involved or how far Greed went, it's difficult to tag around in the mean time.
If we haven't made any particular headway or can't see any direction in our plotting by Thursday, March 21st, I think it would be best to contact the mods for permission to retcon the plot. It involves too many decisions and interactions that would deeply effect all players regular CR to leave completely open ended. This is a date I picked based on it being three days not counting today, so your all's input on this date is also wanted!
Rescue Phase II - Check-in
This is a roll call for who is still interested in being involved and to what extent. If you want to handwave their involvement but still say they were involved, we'll work to see how much we can say was done without requiring their involvement with others who may feel it necessary to thread the scene out. If all parties agree to handwave their involvement, most excellent! Others who want to thread things, also check in with what you'd like done.

Speaking of which, with Issei as hostage and being one Greed IS willing to injure (he won't intentionally hurt Sena physically), we'll need to know what level of injury Mini is willing to have Issei sustain just in case. Obviously we don't want to kill him.
Throw your thoughts around in whatever order, folks, this isn't like an in-game in-order thread, disorganization is fine as long as we get all the info we need from each other!

If his demeanor matters to the exchange, he'll be a smug assface about it rather than a "w-wait, I have a deal, take your boyfriend, leave me this one at least" set-up.

This was a plot post for that x-dere virus about three weeks ago, and Sena and Greed ended up on an IC hiatus since we couldn't tell where things stood with them and their other CR (any of Greed's crew get killed, what's the degree of home field damage, is his computer broken, did he hurt anyone severely that he'd regret hurting later, does anyone who fought him now know he's inhuman; how traumatized is Sena (%100 normal teenage girl in a potentially bloody hostage crisis), who was involved in saving who, did Sena's family get threatened; whether Issei has broken ribs, fingers, etc.)
As you can see we were stuck at the first stage two full weeks after the post went up (March 9th), unable to get details worked out enough to handwave it in a timely fashion. We had to get mod permission to retcon the whole thing (as asking every responder to that post would have been even more tedious; it took us just short of a third week to get mod permission to do so, so imagine the time it'd take to ask everyone who tagged into the plot who WASN'T on a team specifically assembled to answer players in a timely manner, explaining the circumstances if someone WASN'T willing to retcon, etc.).
Long story short: sorry about this. We really tried everything within reason we could to keep it going. Though I'd be open to slapping Lancer and Greed into viral cooperation in some sort of nefariousness on anything that comes up!
