Titanspiracy/New Immortals Plotting Post

[powersthatbe]

If you're not part of the Titanspiracy or one of the jaunt's new immortals, please do not read the comments on this post.

If you are, below is some information that will hopefully aid in your shenanigans-planning.

THE GENERAL PLAN

[fruitknife]

The base instruction: Don't support the Olympians remaining in power.

Support them not all being chucked into Tartarus, by all means. Support a peaceful resolution to potential conflicts, sure. but do not support the Olympians remaining in power.

Beyond that, not even Prometheus has any real way of controlling what mantles new immortals take on, if any; their own interests and actions are far more likely to shape that, as well as player interest in taking the skill. For the most part, you can do as you like.

PLOT OPPORTUNITIES

[fruitknife]

There are a couple chances for Titanspiracy members to get more involved in things, if you don't want to do your own thing instead.

First: help retrieve stuff! Arke's going to get a proper lead on the location of their wings this coming week, and Selene at least will be able to go on a chariot heist. (Helios would like to, but Apollo is possibly too much in play for that to be practical this week; we'll see.) They could use assistance, lookouts, backup muscle, all that good stuff. For now, poke Bii and Blue more directly if you want in.

Second: handling attempts to revert power! This is where 'Helios can see everything' is going to come in handy, as he can get a bead on spotting these attempts in the works and send people to Handle It. Whether anything is actually Handled is down to the involved players, but for those looking for a hook into some conflict, HERE'S YOUR HOOK.

OTHER QUESTIONS?

[powersthatare]

If you have any other questions, drop 'em here and we'll do our best to get you sorted out.

[comebewe]

So, what can the people involved (whether they have been in on this for a while like Arke, or are new to things) expect to know about the causes for what's been going on lately? I.e. will they know what the shooting stars are, and whether the earthquakes and whatnot are an expected part of the plan or not?

Basically how much can Titanspiracy folks expect to know about what's been going on and the reasons for it

[awitchdidit]

Assuming that Euphrasia figures out who to ask (seeing as she's being recruited by a meddling Investigator, not a Titanspirator), would Helios or someone be able to tell her what the deal is with the shooting stars or the problems in Athens?

[thornsofmalkav]

I know Selene is assuming that the shooting stars are going to be the fault of their allies on Team Olympus but she has no idea if this is part of the plan or them screwing up. She'd probably ask Arke to find Prometheus and ask wtf is up with that... probably before it actually happens because Bern told her that a seer saw it was gonna happen.

[comebewe]

Okay, in that case the question would be what Arke hears from Prometheus about that (since with the mingle starting soon, I don't think we'd have time to thread that out beforehand?)

[fruitknife]

As Bii said, Helios and Selene can guess at the cause but not necessarily the motivations behind it.

[butthemiracleneverhappen]

Is continuing to recruit immortals/poll the people on which heroes deserve it a Thing Bern is encouraged to do?

She will mention some skill in dispelling illusions; any particular use that would have for the Titanspiracy?

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeah! We'll have to get Matt in to answer that, since he's the one Prometheus-ing.

[thornsofmalkav]

Yes, pretty much. And hm, good question. We'll get back to you on the illusions.

[icanhearscreams]

Are those who have been given power going to be directed in any way if they're more loosely affiliated (i.e. they don't know the Titan Stuff just that they're suddenly gods now)?

[truerevelation]

So what the heck can a mortal ally who's Just Sitting On The Decision for now (aka until Kanji's out of Kallias' head) get involved with anyway? Kallias has his destiny-spotting ... thing, and Kanji has ... whatever of his crapton of skills he can use while semi-infiltrated, but. It's not god stuff.

[runawaystory]

Hellooo, Oracle here. Rhoda's definitely going to be trying to get together a formal rite of dedication to Apollo. Preparations will be hush-hush but the ceremony itself will be public. People are welcome to help or hinder as they see fit! If enough people are interested in doing a thing, I might make a separate log, so please let me know what your interests are. o/

[ninjayeehaw]

Just point Kinji in the direction you want things murdered in and he's on it. I presume he'll be sent after Nike's brigade of prolympians?

[fruitknife]

WELL FOR ONE THING BACKSTABBING ONE OF THE TITANSPIRACY MEMBERS WOULD BE FROWNED UPON. XD

They can always come back and ask if they have any reason to think of it, or be pointed back to the Titans by folks in the know.

[fruitknife]

Be a lookout for a heist? Help Handle shit, possibly?

Or just talk to the other guy who sees everything about how that works. It might help Kallias figure out the destiny-spotting.

[fruitknife]

Very likely. Much as he'd like to shut down Apollo, Nike's effort is more likely to be majorly disruptive.

[icanhearscreams]

LOOK HE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO BE POISONED.

Also yeah Kosmas will just have to be clued in, he did not catch on to the Titan Thing with Helios.

[ninjayeehaw]

Thanks to the fight against Nevermore, his own canon and the help of the divine ball-chopper, Kinji will be more than prepared to take on Nike and put up a very good fight if need be; especially since by this point he is running remarkably low on fucks and would pull his armour and own weapons out. He'd like to try diplomacy first, but given the situation it would be unlikely to work.

Allura's mun, would you be down for a confrontation between Kinji and her that results in a fight?

[triggerhappytraitor]

Less question, most just sitting in a small box of confusion and feeling a bit over my head here. Debating Galen having the bright idea of trying to talk Apollo into voluntarily stepping down so he won't get murdered as a favor to Feli. Seems like a bad idea all 'round but that is kinda what this guy is made of and I really have no idea what I'm doing anyway, so...

(This is sort of my way of saying "So who wants this cranky tsuntaur anywhere while I try and figure out WTF to do here")

[powersthatmatter]

Whoops, was just replying to this elsewhere - it's definitely worth the attempt, though we'd leave the specific success or failure to the thread & NPC-mod in particular to determine. Link us a toplevel prompt for it when the mingle goes up, & we'll make sure it gets into the right hands ASAP.

This is a very cool idea.

[powersthatmatter]

Prometheus will admit, to a close ally only (Arke counts), that it was always a contingency but never intended to be enacted. WTF Hebe.

[ninjayeehaw]

There is a Kinji available if the opportunity arises~

[icanhearscreams]

yes kinji pls help
