❧ Hide your face so the world will never find you

[luministimods]

[the celebrating townspeople don't seem to notice that anything has gone remiss once people start to crowd around and enter the curtained archways. the festivities continue on like normal, even if the proverbial clock has begun to tick for the trapped residents--but something is different about the townspeople's behaviors. they seem...more

Ichijou is going to be spectacularly unhelpful for this event, unless someone needs help going to his townhome and getting blackout-drunk with him as he cries continuously. He can absolutely help them with that. The good thing is that he won't be trying to sabotage anyone's efforts!

The most obvious target is probably the Neptune statue, but I have no idea about the second one. Clearly the solution is still setting fire to things.

[manicurious]

I NEVER WOULD HAVE FIGURED THAT OUT.

EVER.

Natsuo is seconding the motion to set fire to all the things. :3!! Croix would much prefer to not do that, thank you, we can be smarter about this. ... Also he wants his face fixed. :|

... anyway.

Unless you want to destroy one of the ~things~ via pretty-shota-word-magic? Natsuo's probably not going to do much for part 2. ... I guess his availability also greatly depends on how shit goes down behind Curtain #1. Uh. Right. Moving on.

Croix would actually be very useful for taking things out. I'm perfectly cool with putting him on a team to go after thing one or thing two. He's a very well-trained soldier, used to synching up with people and not necessarily having direct contact with them. So... yeah. Offering up soldier boy here.

Mu is good for blowing shit up, but he's BETTER at protecting people. Need a wingman? Here's your guy.

POSSIBLE TARGETS

[lamb_of_gold]

OKAY so let's make a list of things that might be what we're looking for. If there are as many things as people, well. Easy. If not this will get complicated.

THE OBVIOUS TARGET IS THE NEPTUNE STATUE. Someone more clever than I can figure out other possibilities.

Call it a ... gut instinct? >.> But I can make some reasonings for it.

-The Founding festival is going on now.
-The stone sundial is "a gift from the Luministi Founders many, many years ago". And, well, we all know about the town's 'founders', eh?
-There were vials of poison found as clues. The poisoning took place at the founding festival last year.
-A basket of Verita's was found, with notices from last year. Question: were any of them about the founding festival?
-A subtle clue - the stone sundial is far from the Neptune sundial; the one at town hall would be too close. And the one outside the clinic looks to be a smallish one. We were prompted that the two are not close together, and that we need something bigger than a stick to destroy it.

...Okay, typing it all out, it's making sense. But man, please, if anyone can make a case for another sundial, please say? XD

[desertdaggers]

I dunno, I'm all for taking out the one near the clinic. The clinic itself would probably be too big, but it's a suspicious place.

[wind_of_reason]

Fuu can destroy a target with her wind magic!

It might be good to have each team with at least a couple magic users and a physical fighter, just in case one type of magic is not very effective. (No reason why it wouldn't, but taking no chances. Besides, it's just good RPG sense. XD)

Fuu says, we've got to stick together!
If Ichijou can't be convinced to join a group, perhaps someone can stay behind with him near the town square and report to the others if the townspeople change behaviour?

[manicurious]

Good luck getting him to go out in public!

Oh! Mentioning "enough pins for everyone" made me think of something. Since Ichijou is most likely going to be moping throughout this entire thing, can he give someone else his pin so that they can use two? Or is there a strict "one person, one pin" thing?
