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

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

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.

Yeah I think “shits fucked” is about right.

Cool with me.

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!

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

subheadings are always nice ^^ then things look in order

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

Amazing.

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

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

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.

Yeah, I think so!

That seems reasonable. I suppose it depends on how Circe does it. And how quickly!

It’s happening.

So since Acantha is officially out of commission and Circe just gave herself a concussion, it's probably the absolute best worst time for Ike to jump in and see the chaos before Stone gets back.

aka Airdra is ~~supposed to be~~ asleep rn, would it be okay if Ike went after my next Cain tag?

BEAUTIFUL

wunderbar

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?

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).

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)

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.)

Well, as a spy, he's got super good memory so he's probably memorized several. (He may also have taken it upon himself during actor training to learn to read and write the Folk's version of their language) He might have to sacrifice... just to prove that Circe is bad.

(his attempt at 'bravery' would probably be more like "you'll have to go through me" and just trembling and holding still for as long as it takes her to physically knock him out (of the way))

Yeah, and Stone has been methodically hiding important tablets for months (at least) so it’s not a total loss but it’s still a pretty terrible blow to the community.

Poor kid, luckily she doesn’t think he’s a big enough threat to actually hurt him or he’d have to break character anyway. (Like a forceful enough “go away” is probably enough to get him to leave, and then what’s he gonna do about it? Cry?)

Oh Circe, if only she knew. Acantha will fix her with the most terrified, most betrayed look. She told him to learn and now she's ruining everything!

I'm excited to see how this plays out!

I will say that Stone also has them all memorized. He will still be devastated... and then angry... but the loss isn't irrepairable. Just a huge pain in the ass because now he has to make a bunch of new ones and that takes time.
