Okay, so she definitely won't be able to snag the best of the best tablets, because she still doesn't know where Stone hid them, but he can't keep all 200 or so years worth of tablets in his bedroom.

If we want to get Cain there, her best bet might be implying to Branch that she's going to kill Stone. She kind of figures Branch is more sympathetic to Cain than to her so it's also a loyalty test. Then she has all the time Cain is wasting sneaking around Stone's hut waiting for her to strike to smash the tablets.

[thornsofmalkav]

Oh Jesus fuck, he would immediately tattle to Cain if she did that.

[breakaleginhalf]

Cain would be way angrier that Circe set them both up, than about Branch setting him up.

[desperate_times_right]

He might be angry but what's he going to do about it? (Hubris: the person)

[letsgetdowntobismuth]

Someone order an extra large lynch mob? Bc Cain can

[desperate_times_right]

I think Chloe is learning a valuable lesson about not saying "things will be fine" before a jaunt.

[breakaleginhalf]

With how much is happening for this idea, I think we could almost get away with threading it all in a closed mingle.

[desperate_times_right]

Might be a good idea, then we don’t have to worry about the multiple stages getting buried in people’s top levels.

[breakaleginhalf]

Stages/toplevels could possibly be like
1. Circe tells Branch she's gonna do it to Stone at an exact time
2. Branch tells Cain so he can get there early
3. Circe gets there double early annoys Stone out of his house
4. Cain starts stalking and being suspicious around the house
5. Shits fucked

[desperate_times_right]

I feel like I should be putting the burning Elmo gif.

[breakaleginhalf]

I can put a new mini-mingle up for us now/after work if everyone agrees!

Which, tbh it looks like, Haha. God this is going to be a ckudterfuck.

[desperate_times_right]

Yeah I think “shits fucked” is about right.

Cool with me.

[insidegalra]

ckudterfuck hahaha I like it. What is it when a clusterfuck manages to loop around to be a clusterfuck of the original clusterfuck?

I'm down for this!

[breakaleginhalf]

HERE WE FUCKIN GO KIDS

also if anyone prefers subheadings or just gently free-for-alling then lemme know and I can pop some up

[scarsolderthanyou]

subheadings are always nice ^^ then things look in order

[breakaleginhalf]

Legit! There are three subheadings now, but I might add more later if we need more!

[desperate_times_right]

Amazing.

ETA: All right, I'll start both of Circe's subheadings tonight and then try and hit "shit's fucked" tomorrow lol.

[insidegalra]

I could add one for Acantha getting warned by Branch? The other part he'll be involved in is Circe ruining the tablets.

[letsgetdowntobismuth]

Yea! Probably that'd happen quite soon after Branch tells Cain?

Maybe Cain sees Acantha enter Stone's tent, which is why he decides to investigate for himself and spots Circe breaking shit too, or hears them causing a commotion and rushes in.

[thornsofmalkav]

BEAUTIFUL

wunderbar

[insidegalra]

This sounds awesome. Any room for Acantha to show up at the wrong place at the wrong time and either be Cain's alibi for ruining the tablets, or witness to Circe doing the deed?

[desperate_times_right]

The weak point in the plan for Circe right now (aside from completely misreading Cain’s likely reaction lol) is getting the implement that she’s going to use to smash the tablets into Stone’s house without being noticed, so that’s definitely a point where he could like “accidentally” witness her with it (especially if he’s somehow heard about the fake plan to kill Stone which would give him reason to be lurking near his house).

[insidegalra]

Acantha would totally show up at Stone's house if he heard about the fake plan (or possibly even if he hadn't, if Stone actually agrees to teach him) and witness Circe.

He might even plead for her to stop. Or cower in between her and the tablets (I don't think he's ready to reveal his secret badass yet)

[desperate_times_right]

That might actually have worked if she cared about any of these people. She’s completely convinced of her absolute power over Acantha so it’s up to him to either break character to protect the tablets or sacrifice them to the cause of freedom for the Mythics I guess. (It might also be a chance for him to see her direct line to the producers in action if he needs confirmation on that because she’s going to get Phillip to call off the midges.)

[youandyoualone]

Branch would totally tell him about the FAKE plan!

(Originally my phone auto corrected that to date and no. Just no.)
