WANTED: law enforcement for a tiny murder attempt

[goen]

(( EDIT: I have enough cop volunteers now! But if anyone else has a regain or similar they'd like to work in, we can try and work something out. ))

So like Recolle's been a little short on crime right.

Yato is here to help fix that! Following a certain incident that will wrack him with anger and guilt, he's going to look for a healthy dose of revenge on the NPC who wrecked Nobu's shit (and whose life Yato happened to save months ago).

Yato would love to swordkill this NPC, but it is not to be for Reasons. So here's where I'd love to plot with some law enforcement characters looking to enforce the law! And here is also where I should warn that violence will be involved, at least initially.


So a loose game plan:

1) Yato tries to kill this NPC with an actual katana. Things will get bloody. NPC will probably need... immediate medical attention... This can take place in an obscure outdoor location for greater chance of discovery.
2) A law enforcement character interrupts before Yato can actually finish the deed. Here's a chance for an altercation! Yato is a ridiculous swordgod and will be able to cut bullets, so if you need a shooting-at-someone regain, here's your shot. HOHOHOHO
3) Provided Yato is able to make an escape from the above step, maybe a chase?! Or detective work can lead to a warrant. In the latter case, we can set up clues leading to Yato. Either way...
4) An ending in arrest! Yato isn't looking to hurt anyone other than the target of his ire, so once arrest looks unavoidable, he'll surrender.

There is a catch involved here: Yato is very easily forgotten by NPCs (deets here) so PCs may find help from NPC law enforcement to be confused and distracted! Actually Yato to NPCs is a bit like how NPCs perceive world changes in general. (There was a guy there?? Are you sure?? Hey there's another call coming in, we should check up on that lead instead!) Therefore, though they will arrive swiftly at the scene or wherever they're called, NPCs will likely be of limited help once Yato escapes their sight. It's up to you to lay down the law, Retrospeccer law enforcement!

The happy/not-so-happy ending depending on who you ask will be that Yato goes to jail, but walks out in a few weeks after being forgotten by the guards. The guards will actually have forgotten relatively quickly, he'll just be staying longer because he feels obligated lmao. If there are any law enforcers who want to play with the consequences of that, I am also down for it!

So IN SHORT I'd be happy to plot with either one very dogged PC law enforcer or a few working in conjunction. I would like to keep it a small operation for the sake of a clean timeline! If there's something you'd like to tweak to aim for a regain, I'm also very open to that. All of this would be taking place ICly sometime before the end of the month, I'm thinking sooner rather than later.

Drop a comment if you wanna plot something out!

[accordance]

I've got a doctor if you need one/would like to play with one!

[goen]

like I mean personally Yato does not think a doctor is necessary because YOU KNOW... but maybe we could say the attack takes place near Lucian's clinic and he could be fetched for first aid? I'd be interested in Yato and Lucian having a discussion on this at some point, and having to patch up the guy Yato will be maiming would be a good stimulus I imagine lmao

[accordance]

yeah, that sounds good! let me know where to tag in etc i'll be right there o/

[wherethewildthingsare]

hello I am a police man

I would like to make all future things incredibly, incredibly awkward.

[goen]

I would love nothing more tbh

I'll wait and see if other copfellows are interested before going into further detail but I am so down for extremely awkward and complicated CR

[goen]

Ok hi I'm back with questions

Do you have a preference for what Ichirou will be doing? Catching Yato in the act/detecting/arresting/other?

[wherethewildthingsare]

I THINK he should run up on Yato in the act.

He's more likely to try and talk them down than shoot them tho and other people want to chase him so he can just run at that point maybe?

[goen]

OKAY I think that should work fine! Maybe Yato can evacuate the dancefloor when Shouto happens upon the scene?

I hope Ichirou talks fast though because NPC guy might... bleed out... and have no way of stopping it... Though I read that cleanly cut off limbs can bleed surprisingly little so HAH HEY let's say Yato's godtier cutting works against him.

[wherethewildthingsare]

HE CAN TALK FAST also yes haha it does.

He probably has a first aid kit with a tourniquet in his car anyway, so once Yato actually runs his concern would be stabilizing the NPC rather than chasing anyway

[goen]

p.s. would Ichirou consider fetching Lucian at his clinic/sending Shouto to fetch Lucian/bringing the NPC to the clinic

sorry I keep dumping more things on you lmao

[wherethewildthingsare]

He could send Shouto yes!!

He wouldn't want to leave them but would probably have seen a nearby clinic

[browbeater]

Two days late and no starbucks, but also a police thing here o/

[goen]

YE YE YE

Any particular part that interests you? Or shall we toss Mako and Yato together wherever it fits (depending on responses from Ichirou and Fynn)?

[browbeater]

MAN, could we do the chase? This would be a good way to get back the memory of chasing Kai through Ba Sing Se.

Mako is ridiculously athletic, and while he won't have firebending assist, this will still be a good chance for that.

[goen]

YOU GOT IT!! It's been a long time since I've watched that part of LoK but if it helps I can definitely refresh my memory.

Yato isn't like... an Olympic runner or anything but he should be able to give a good chase lmao. Guess who doesn't care about destruction of public property?? THIS GUY

[browbeater]

That works for me! Let's cause major, unintended (... halfway?! unintended) property damage like real superheroes.

[goen]

LAST THING. Since Fynn will be making the arrest, is it kosher to say that Yato will be getting away from Mako?! Not without conseqence though since I assume Yato will be exhausted by the time Mako is done with him...

[browbeater]

That works for me! I don't mind him getting out foxed at all, since. that's exactly what happened in the regain anyway.

[goen]

Oh mako you try so hard and get so far

[rygdea]

OMG!! Why am I late for this?!!! FYNN IS A COP TOO! Jeebus I need this regain so badly.

[goen]

How can you be late when you are just on time? UuU

What kind of regain are you looking for? Fighting/chasing/arresting/etc? I don't have anything specific plotted just yet, so since it sounds like you have a particular regain you're aiming for, I'll let you have your pick of what role Fynn will be playing!

[rygdea]

Right on time~¡¿ Awesome!

Oh! Well, I'm trying to get Fynn to remember his days as a Guardian Corp soldier back on Cocoon. More specifically, I'm trying to get Fynn to remember when he had to shoot and kill his commanding officer, Cid Raines after the attack on the Sanctum.

So, if permitted, Fynn will be the one pulling the trigger. Of course, Yato lives but that horrible memory will come to haunt Fynn.

[goen]

Tbh everyone can shoot Yato if they feel like it, so that's fine by me! Yato will not be putting his sword down voluntarily (until the arrest happens) so shooting at a dank sword-waving attempted murderer sounds like a fair decision lmao.

I'm gonna talk some more with the other copguys to see how we can slot everything together, but Fynn is absolutely welcome to shoot at Yato to his heart's content!

[goen]

OKAY I'M BACK. What do you say to Fynn making the arrest at the end of their thread? Since Ichirou would like to discover the scene and Mako will be providing the chase sequence, it would round out nicely if Fynn provided the end. You'd probably have NPC cops at your disposal too if you want them, though I'd have to double check with the mods to be sure.

[rygdea]

Sure thing! So, Officer Izunia will be the one finally arresting Yato at the end of it all. That works well for me.

I'm unsure about the NPC bit, though. I think Fynn might be able to handle it for the most part.

[goen]

Okay!! Done deal! Have a happy arresting, Fynn.

I'll be trying to get the log done in the next few days and will let you know when it's up!

[goen]

GONNA DROP THIS HERE REAL QUICK

HERE'S THE LOG

I can't respond right away but feel free to add me on chipsnfish for plotting now and in the future too!!

[rygdea]

Expect me to jump in today! Also, what's Yato's overall description? 5'4, black hair, slim build and approximately in their teens, right?

[goen]

o7!

He's 5'8" and 21, but feel free to play with Fynn's impression of his age haha. Black hair, blue eyes (a regain), and this outfit. Slim build is correct!

[rygdea]

...

/throws notepad in the air

HOW COULD HAVE BEEN SO WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWRONG! /laments

Okay, I am so GLAD I asked. Also, adding you to plurk.

[goen]

Oh no LMAO rip

But yeah feel free to let me know if you need more details or wanna discuss things!

[glaciers]

Is it possible to just see the NPC almost die? That's a memory trigger for Shouto.

[goen]

SURE WHY NOT. Will dismemberment work? If you need, Yato can stab the guy a lil more too. Lucian can still save the guy probably

[glaciers]

You're very excessive, Yato.

That'll be fine! Shouto just found a friend on the ground because of a dude with a katana before.

[goen]

Wow he's doing it for you Shouto

and himself

but mostly for himself.

Alrighty! One dude on the floor as Yato stands over him with a katana coming right up.

comment pt. 2

[goen]

What say you to Shouto happening upon the scene after Ichirou and Yato chat for a bit? A high schooler being present would be enough for Yato to not want to finish his murder, so that would be a convenient way to get Yato to leave...

[glaciers]

I'm 100% down for that. Not that Shouto's going to be happy.

[goen]

sweet

please don't tell your boyfriend about this shouto

but you can tell him if you want to

[glaciers]

what boyfriend

But for real, he doesn't know Yukine knows Yato- and he doesn't really know Yato
so it's like "This black haired... guy... with a sword tried to murder a guy in an alley"

[goen]

WELL PERFECT FOR YATO THEN

I'm a little excited for Yato and Yukine and Shouto to be in the same space someday

[glaciers]

Shouto would just be like "IT'S THAT GUY!"

ngl I'm excited about it too after this!
