Plot, part IV!

[coniurati]

It's that time already, folks!

First of all, illness updates. By now, it should be realized by the doctors that whatever-it-is travels fast, travels easy, is everything a pandemic should be... but is for some reason not killing people. When Cuddy revives, she might be able to confirm what Knowlton told her; otherwise, it's up to an older character to realize: Discedo is coming down with Atropos.

And what is Atropos? Why, the very same highly deadly illness that killed most everyone in Discedo in the first place! Massive organ failure, fever, coughing, sickness, you name it, it's not a fun way to die. Except: no one is dying this time. Weird, right? We'll leave it to you guys to figure out/remember why. From now on, however, doctors can figure it out and deal with it more appropriately.

The illness will continue to be highly contagious, and the "stronger" effects - coughing up blood, higher fever, severe stomach pains - will hit anyone sick (if you so desire). It's still not fatal.


Now, for the second part! Obviously Cuddy was one of the lucky five names picked: the other four are Seifer, Ohura, Cynthia, and England. Between this evening and tomorrow, each of them will be kidnapped by one Thomas Knowlton. Why? Well, that'll be explained soon. It'll be up to characters to find and rescue these four, but here are the catches:

1. They will become completely untrackable magically, just like Knowlton is.
2. They won't have access to their communicators, to be able to call for help.

Knowlton will be contacting the city after nabbing them, however, so stay tuned for that.

We'll post how the rescue and endgame will go down in a couple of days! For now, any questions or comments (and, if the kidnappees could comment as well, so we can work out how the kidnappings will go down if you'd rather not just handwave it all) can be left here!

... So by 'Ohura' did you mean this girl here, Oruha? (Or 'Ora' if you prefer!)

alkdjglka sorry I just wanna make sure whether or not that's my character or if it is someone else's since I'm not sure? ;;;;

[kongeriget]

Oh, yes, you're the one. Sob, typo'd.

[cloversong.livejournal.com]

OH OKAY COOL. :D Just making sure~ I am excited!

Anyways she is fairly new and a completely normal human so kidnapping her should be a piece of cake. I could say maybe she got lost somehow and then was swiped? idk like, she wandered away looking for someone/something and got taken.

That pretty much works! He's not targeting people specifically, so running into her accidentally is A-OK. A crime of opportunity, if you will. :|a

Do you want to play it, or handwave?

[cloversong.livejournal.com]

Cool, then it's a date~ Fufufu, so ~*mysterious*~. I enjoy this plot. ♥

I'm totally up for playing it out! :O That'd be fun and give me a chance to write more for her. But unless you really prefer handwaving then that is cool too. XD

[kongeriget]

XD I'm game for trying to write it out! The only condition I have is that it doesn't become immediately obvious that Kiwi nabbed her (and of course, I might be a bit slow because of all the tagging) - no accidental video posts of him dragging her away or whatever, fffff

[truthsfortune.livejournal.com]

Awesome! :3 And haha, yeah, that's cool. If Oruha posts at all it might be, like... a voice post or a text post that she's in the process of writing/recording out and then it just stops because she runs into him. Like... 'Oh, I appear to be lost. I'm sorry, if' and that's it. Like she hit 'post' too early. That'd be okay, yes?

[kongeriget]

Yep, that'd be fine! Even though it'll be pretty obvious Kiwi did it all, it's easier from an IC standpoint if I can assume there aren't mobs hunting for him while he's trying to drag people around. XD;
