CALLING ALL SEELIE

Hello everyone!

As you may be aware, the Unseelie are currently transporting a prisoner known as Raonil (or Isengrim) to Maupertius.

Having found this out through Unseelie leaks Lancelot urged Kaldur to tell Ridire, who said 'well go get him then'. Since Kaldur was busy, he kindly bounced that task back into Lancelot's lap.

(Thanks bro.)

So Lancelot will be looking for volunteers! However, since he has been warned there may be an Unseelie spy in the ranks he will not be advertising that -- he will be doing it subtly.

What This means:
★ Lancelot will advertise that he is now helping Seelie Marshal Gwenllian and they are going to have training sessions. These will be Open to All Skill Levels. It will be made a point of that if you have never held a weapon you can come and learn. If you are an expert, Lancelot can help you learn Shard Manipulation which he learnt form Reynard. That will boost the strength/speed/etc of your character!
★ Lancelot and Gwenllian will then make a private assessment based on the way everyone who turns up behaves and go to some people to recruit them into the negotiation/ambush team. They will not inform this team of the later part of the plan. Everything will be a little need-to-know to try and avoid leaks where possible.
★ Lancelot and Gwenllian will also start to recruit for another team who, if the first team succeed, will be a second ambush on Reynard using Raonil/Isengram as bait. Note that No success is guaranteed on getting hold of Raonil so this team may need to stall or regroup or do something else but Lancelot will need to get one prepared regardless because he is planning ahead.
★ Lastly, there will be a final plan, that only a few people will be aware of, to regroup everyone (+ possibly a few extra trusted people) to make an attempt to claim Maupertius if this all success.

Full Plan with other details and considerations is here for the curious. Nothing is set in stone -- this is the plan being made ICly and it can ICly fail at any point and disaster can descend. I cannot stress this enough!

SO.

Tell me what you would like to do! PLEASE NOTE you can absolutely come to training and not get involved in anything else. The training will be set up as an open log so you can hang about with anyone else getting taught by a friend who volunteers or by Lancelot or whoever! I want this to be a good opportunity for everyone to mingle, as well as get involved in other things!

If your character cannot attend the training but you would like them taught at another time, they can contact Lancelot to ask. Equally, if they would not ICly turn up but you want them trained or volunteered let me know and we can fashion a way to drag them sideways into it.

However, I'd like to get an idea of how many people are coming and if you'd be interested in putting them forward for any stage of the plan so we can gauge how things might go trying to gamble on getting Raonil off the Unseelie.

Yeah, I made an open log today for the duration of the event, so he can skip over picking her. :3

I have absolutely no idea what is going on with that, so, no plans /o/

And yuuuup, Looma would probably be better suited for ambush team over negotiation team for that reason

Yes yes yes to this awkwardness please. I have some days off soon so I will be taggy! I apologise as usual for my molasses-style RP.

I have no Lawkamercy plans YET. >.>

I think it was either the 16th or 20th, Elincia and part of the demigod squad are heading out to seek the Drabkeeper's Castle. They'll be heading to the station ring to make a jump to the closest fairy ring and they'll probably be occupied for the most of September from there.

So yeah, not sure how much this clashes with Lancelot's plans 8|a

Character: Meera Reed
Skills: Fighter, mostly trained in gorilla warfare, but she has a level head on her so if she needs to speak or negotiate she can probably do that, too.
Volunteering for: She'll honestly go wherever she's needed.
NOTES: None that I can think of.

Hello! And nope. RL has been killing me so I'm just getting caught up with game stuff now. And was very much like 'what to do' with her, so she's all yours.

Character: Tsurugi Kyousuke
Skills: he's REALLY GOOD at non-lethal combat. insofar as kicking a soccer ball at his enemies would constitute "combat." but his raw kick power is insane and he has some stupid powers to add onto it. both a good leader and an excellent team player. also really sharp at observing people—that actually used to be his job. he's been working on swordsmanship since he arrived but he's still pretty mediocre. IMPECCABLE FOOTWORK FROM YEARS AND YEARS OF SOCCER PRACTICE??? totally a legit and relevant skill
Volunteering for: came for training, open to the idea of him getting recruited! he has no plans to cause any conflict with.
NOTES: whether or not he joined would really depend on how the conversation went down! he's super against the war and factions in general but these days he keeps shoving himself into sticky situations anyway because he's an idiot he wants to save as many people on both sides as he can, so basically he'd just need to be convinced it jives with goals.

Character: Leo Valdez
Skills: He's not the greatest fighter ever, but he can use a hammer, and has the battle reflexes of your average demigod, and he has pyrokinesis on his side.
Volunteering for: Training mostly, but he'll go wherever! He doesn't have much else to do at the moment.
NOTES: He kind of doesn't know have a clue what any of this is about, but other than that, I don't think there's anything worth noting.

I've been away from my computer for about a week, but I haven't forgotten this!

LBH, monks are the best. Because Athelstan is so awesome he has been left wide open as far as plots and plans. He's mostly wandering around in shock and awe like a dweeb.
