Player Plot: The Great Anomaly Round-up

[jumpthegun]

Is your character looking for something to do in the snowy wastes? Would you like them to meet their own or other anomalies? Join the great anomaly round-up!

Otherwise known as John and Sherlock hatched a bit of a mad scheme to try to corral all of the anomalies in one place. They're aiming to put up directions for the anomalies to head to the power plant to meet them there and try something important. Messages can be personalized for your anomalies and if you control your own anomaly, you're welcome to have them get corralled or avoid the trap.

They'll need people to help actually figure out how the corralling is going to work, too. I'll have John put up a network post about the endeavor in the coming days to get things ICly set up. OOCly, this would be a place to let us know if you want your anomaly corralled, if your character would be interested in leaving messages, or if they would be interested in directly luring their or other anomalies to the power plant.

UPDATE: The first physical encounter with anomalies is scheduled at the Power Plant for Day 440 (January 8 - 10)!

Anomalies to be Corralled

[jumpthegun]

Post here if you want your anomaly corralled in the Power Plant!

[devoutish]

Alfie's fiery, smouldering anomaly can be caught!

[jumpthegun]

Burn, baby, burn!

Volunteering AnomaHarley.

[jumpthegun]

I mean, it would be pretty amazing for them to corral chaos. Hat's off to everyone.

[thewarningafter]

Ecks's anomaly can be caught. I'm interested in having Stephen's anomaly show up but would like him to avoid the trap and/or magic his way out of the trap.

Edit: Ecks's anomaly was last seen barricaded into a bathroom in a building downtown. It's possible she could just remain trapped there, but it seems more satisfying for her to get loose and get drawn in with the others (maybe meet up with Housenomaly?).

[jumpthegun]

For the sake of record keeping, House and Watson's anomalies can be lured to the power plant and trapped there.

+1 Mycroftnomaly

[termineur]

While the Sylarnomaly might be pretty fiesty, you're welcome to corral/capture him! With the way things usually work for him, he'll probably let himself get caught, figuring he can just kill everyone and escape once he gets bored. And then that plan doesn't work out. :P

[sleight_of_fate]

Rhys!Anomaly is currently traveling with Sylarnomaly, and I'm okay with him getting caught. Though he's completely lucid and reasonable and can be reasoned with...chances are fair to good he'll choose to stay put.

[cahooted]

Flynnomaly is v hungry and will definitely drop by.

Also willing to have him wreak chaos or complicate plans by being his cheerful overly murdery self/going after people instead.

[warriorscribe]

So Enoch's anomaly is really easy to lure places because he'll just unquestioningly follow anyone who asks him to he wants company. He's getting corralled.

[bywolves]

Royce's anomaly can also be caught! He'll be easy to lure.

[sleight_of_fate]

Rhysnomaly will follow a person if addressed/talked to, but he's fast and will try to cuddle at night, which is sort of lethal. He is solid enough to trap without any special, though, and he's also blind.

He might also just agree to stay out of the way someplace...he's pretty agreeable.

Yeah. It's late, but Sheena's coming.

And going down the hole.

Plotting

[jumpthegun]

[cahooted]

Ohh, neat!!

So Mycroftanomaly was kind of like a giant raging snowy pile of jerk to Flynn when he murdered him and promised him that if he comes back to life he'd kill him again, over and over.

Once Flynn remembers that he will be a giant terrified bag of salt and 100% on board with this plan. He'd also be willing to play bait or leave a message.

He will also be pretty traumatized in general and pro murder destroying the anomalies if anyone wants to get into an ethics shouting match ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[phaseshifter]

DON'T BE ANOMALYRACIST

[cahooted]

LOOK ANGEL THEY SUCK OK

[phaseshifter]

YOUR FACE SUCKS

[jumpthegun]

Can we all agree that they're generally more dangerous than helpful, whether they mean to be or not, Angel?

[cahooted]

Y E A H ANGEL

[jumpthegun]

That said, I'm also ten kinds of down for Angel or anyone else sabotaging this plot and preventing the corralling. And possibly getting a bunch of people killed in the process.

[thewarningafter]

If he can't trap the real Mycroft in a pit Stephen will settle for Mycroftanomaly. He's in.

[cahooted]

why not both tho

Thanks Stephen, Flynn would be 100% there for Team Magic against Mycroft! /o/ Or alternatively some commiserating

[holmesice]

L o O k

[holmesice]

Maybe you shouldn't have stolen all the hot water, Mr. Carsen.

[cahooted]

YOU ARE LITERALLY MADE OF ICE WHAT WOULD YOU EVEN DO WITH IT

[thewarningafter]

So in practical terms:

Stephen's out in Res 2 as of day 430, and prior to hearing about this his primary interest had been rejoining Gabriel and Vanitas at the bunker. He could leave messages as he moves along, though, and I'm game to have him encounter someone's anomaly (though maybe let's not kill him again). He could also be pulled off course to come help.

Ecks revived in the hospital and her priorities are food, meeting back up with Royce and Alfie, and more food. She does want to see her anomaly locked up; they last left Ecksnomaly barricaded into a bathroom so it's also possible she could just be left there indefinitely (poor lonely Ecksnomaly), or she could have gotten loose and end up in the group of anomalies corralled into the power plant.

Tess has no ability to make decisions, so unless someone tells her to help she won't do it even though she'd normally want to. I'm playing out a thing with her and Jimmy and Castielnomaly before I decide whether to tag her into the IC plotting post and get her involved.

Messages

[jumpthegun]

This is a place to leave notes on if your character is leaving messages around town for their anomalies (or others). I'll submit these to the mods for a block setting change thing as opposed to everyone having to do this individually. Please fill in the form below!

As of this time, it looks like the first group of characters can reach the Power Plant to do things by Day 440. That runs into January, though, and I don't want to get too far ahead with End Game ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME rules in place. This can be added to as movements are done and we move toward Day 440!
