Property Damage Ahead

[azurestar]

Hey everyone!

This is mainly a heads up that Shade, Vette and myself are plotting a big blow-out fight at the end of the month involving Lance (azurestar) and Maul (survivalthroughhate). It will last for 3 days from October 31st to November 2nd, and there will be a lot of property damage to the city, primarily in the area of Prufrock and perhaps neighboring districts.

Context: Lance will be killing Reaper at The Gate while the blood moon and blood sport is still going. Lance will then victoriously post about it on the Network because there's a complicated history between him and Reaper and bloodsport's still got a grip on his brain. Maul will see it and try to kill him for 3 days straight because Reaper is bae, but Lance will not want anyone else to die so he'll just be trying to hold Maul off with his powers until he gets it out of his system and they are more or less this gif by the end:



The intention is to have them fight to exhaustion with no casualties (besides Reaper ig). We were discussing leaving this open for other characters to interact with since it is going to last for a chunk of time, so that is why this post exists. Though both characters will insist others stay out of it in their own ways, for their own reasons, if you'd like your character to try getting involved or have commentary/a conversation with them during their fight, then why not?

If you want to discuss how your character will react to/interact with this absurdity and how we can incorporate that while still reaching the end of the fight with no casualties, or you want to make a case for getting your character caught in the crossfire, OR you want your property to be a casualty, then please discuss freely on this post! This can be handwaved or played out, your choice!

UPDATE: Lance and Maul's battle in the streets will only last a handful of hours and the damage will be on two mostly parallel streets in Prufrock leading to The Gate. Once Lance sees the path to the Gate is clear, he will launch himself and Maul to the gate to resume the fight in the arena where it is away from others. The fight will then last for the remainder of the 3 day period in the arena.

VL gonna spank the both of ya idjits.

Me? I love this. That'll be a nice conclusion to such a quiet October.

(She will almost certainly try to involve herself, but if the both of them shoo her away and insist that this is between them, she'll get exasperated about their idiocy and go wait for Reaper to wake up with a stick to poke at his squid. Her involvement will probably be limited to network posts for simplicity's sake if that's ok.)

Winter will be available to ensure that no bystanders get pulled into it. And working on minimizing the damage when she can.

Deku lives on the NW edge of Crenshaw, which borders Prufrock. Whenever the damage ramps up, Deku will go to Prufrock and do evac. I'm open to handwaving OR playing out characters being saved/evacuated or helping him out with that. His priority is preservation of life. That could be a good reason not to get directly involved in the fight, as that would leave innocent bystanders defenseless. Because I am painfully aware of Deku's track record for sticking his nose where it don't belong.

His tentative plan is to get people to Crenshaw and protect that neighborhood with his life. Who needs sleep anyway?

Fern won't try to stop either of them when he realizes why Maul is attacking, not when he's been through that kind of pain himself. Go Maul go, indulge in those terrible feelings and wreak vengeance!!

He'll be available to help prevent bystanders from getting hurt though, since they've got nothing to do with this.

Varian has CR with all three of these morons so he's just going to be heavily sighing and feeling like he's too old for this bullshit. He won't be getting involved in any actual fighting but oh boy will he have some things to say about all this insanity to them. Can you guys keep it together for one month? He wants a goddamn nap.

Ruby's unavailable on the 31st but after that I'd be up for her either getting caught in the crossfire, helping people out of the crossfire or stopping people from getting involved.

anakin is going to give maul shit for failing to get revenge

Dibs on the blood of any casualties? Wesker needs it for his Blood Ministry work (and lunch).

Luz will not be happy that her Darth Maul is back in rage mode, nor that one of her fellow housemates (that she never sees but the PRINCIPAL) has been killed. So she'll be trying to help both of them, especially when Darth Maul is that the house likely looking over Reaper.

Also, when Varian inevitably makes a hamster ball type apparatus for Reaper, Luz will be playing with it.

[unsheathedfromreality]

queeeestion for bystanders! Is this gonna be obviously a case of Lance having a chance (ahaha, internal rhyme) to kill Maul but refraining, or are these two dudes just too evenly matched for either to get in a killing blow?
