Plot, part IV!

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!

Ohay! Kidnapee numbah three over here! o/

So, question: can her Pokemon stay behind and go look for her later? Lucario-mun and I are thinking he could run into them and help with the rescue and all, so I'd like to clear that out. o/

That's fine! Yeah, I meant to say: she could bring her pokemon with her if they like, were not used at all because lol, that would mess up the order of things a bit... If they're not brought along at all, that works even better, and they'd be welcome to join in the rescue/search!

Haha, yeah, I figured having her baby(?) killing machine would mess things up. So uhhh. Idk. MAYBE HE ASSAULTED HER WHILE THEY WERE OUT OF THEIR POKEBALLS EATING A NICE LATE LUNCH? Because otherwise she always carries them around and such. :o

Hm, maybe she had them on her, didn't have a chance to use 'em, and they fell off in the struggle?
battledancing: (.this is srs bsns [THINKING])

[personal profile] battledancing 2010-09-06 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Thing is, if they fell off in the struggle, then they probably wouldn't be able to help with the rescue because they couldn't be called out, nor can they come out of their pokeballs on their own. :x

Hmm... could someone else release them? I mean, your way works, too, as long as they wouldn't come over to help mid-kidnap. XD
battledancing: (.excuse me? [SURPRISE])

[personal profile] battledancing 2010-09-06 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
The games never mention any of that, but I guess someone else could do it if they knew how pokeballs work-- meaning it would have to be one of the Gym leaders.

Also, if we do go with my way, they wouldn't come over while the kidnapping took place, lol. XD I just need to figure out a way for it to work.

ETA: I was reading the thread with Oruha-mun and I figured, maybe Cynthia could also post a half-finished text entry and then the pokepeople would come look for her and find her pokeballs instead?

That would work!

Great! The kidnapping should probably take place at Latimir, then, which is where she's living. o/ I really need to comment on the rooming list aaaah.
kongeriget: (lol)

[personal profile] kongeriget 2010-09-06 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. He's grabbing people at random off the streets, so would her stepping outside be plausible?
battledancing: (.it's a mystery [SECRETIVE])

[personal profile] battledancing 2010-09-06 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I was thinking, yes. o/

IT'S MORE LIKELY THAN YOU'D THINK!
