Plot End!

[nishimono]

As of last night the Villain Plot is finally over!

Which means each of the villains has been stopped and all the hostages saved :) Not all of the threads have been completed of course, but for IC's sake here's the low-down of what happened to each villain:

The fight is still going, so we can't say for sure how it ends (please join in if you want to!). The following was an idea worked out in regards to the aftermath a couple months ago, but since some things have changed since then, everything is completely up to debate!

What was being suggested by a few muns was that they would want to try to take Joshua's horns again rather than kill him, so if they don't get taken in the initial fight (maybe by Five or someone else who knows), Prince suggested a psychic (like Peter?) could try to 'will' him to show them for the others to take. But then she suggested he get a new loss in that the castle will return the horns, but he'll have random moments of guilt/sanity when about to hurt someone or something, so it'll stay his hand a lot, and ingrain a moral compass. (This was mod approved if we do go this route.)So in that short period after they remove the horns, he'll probably be unconscious. The main issue here is the Dead Zone. I don't want Joshua just taken to the Dead Zone because then I'll

Five would know the horns change him, but he'd have no idea how to remove them. Could he get that from some sort of psychic tug-of-war?

Pretty much to remove them, you just have to rip them off before Joshua can stop/kill you. Clark just sped by and ripped them off, wearing Reno's Ribbon for protection. In the manga, Rosette shoots one horn off, and helps Joshua regain the right memories and he rips the other one off. He won't be doing that here since he doesn't have Rosette or the memories to help him reach that point himself.

So really you just need a good opening and enough force, which Five's smart enough to figure out. Joshua is going to be especially aware of those types of attacks, though, considering he's already lost them once. But if Five maybe lets the others know, they can figure out a quick way to outwit him!

Hmmm. He's probably going to be sticking with Katara after she tried to trip him up in the townspeople thread. If someone can pull me into chat, I'd be happy to plan it out with anyone interested! Use my "chartharsis" screenname, since the old HorribleWilliam one didn't like chats last night.

Just so this is clear and in the open, if we need an excuse to not bring Joshua to the Dead Zone, we can always say it's because we're trying to isolate Riful from all the others. /goes back to sleep-deprived lurking

THIS IS PROBABLY NOT A BAD PLAN. SEPARATE ALL THE BITCHEEEES.

If you still need Peter's Jedi mind trick-- I mean, mental encouragement to show the horns, I'll be glad to hop in. Since he's... already dealt with Joshua in a similar matter before :D;
