a wild player plot appears!
Hi all, so a sudden player plot just kind of coalesced real quickly out of the February Retrospec post. I wanted to post about it here so everyone's in the know and can get involved if they would like!
Late in the evening of 2/5, Zee will be kidnapped by James, Li-Na, and Derek. They will be transporting him to Derek's apartment for "safety purposes." So Zee will not be in his office from 2/6 onwards until 2/12 (or sooner, depending on how the plot goes)!
There will be some clues left behind at the scene of the crime and James, at the very least, will not be particularly secretive about what's happened. He'll openly admit to kidnapping Zee, but will not admit where they are keeping him. Other characters are totally free to do some snooping and try to get involved in whatever way they'd like--freeing Zee, helping the kidnapping brigade for whatever reason, so on and so forth. If you have regains related to kidnapping or anything like that, this would be a great way to get them!
The plan right now is I'll be putting up a separate log post for this little plot where the kidnapping will go down and where anyone who wants to try to rescue/sabotage/do whatever else about Zee can do so! And by 2/12 (or sooner), Zee will be rescued/escaped and back to normal availability.
Plotting and/or questions can go here!

Xiaolang probably won't assist with the kidnappping since he's a good boy, but I do want to get him involved in the rescue somehow!! Not so much because of any attachment to Zee, but two out of the three perps are people he knows and he will have so many words for them.
He has a tracking spell that could be used to help find him, should anyone want to utilize that for their search! It needs a personal item of Zee's to work, but that could be done by searching his office or something!

"Soo...since Li-Na is here, I'm assuming we are doing this for a good reason...so then, if we get chased, I can just firewall them out"

Well if nothing else, Malik is going to heckle James about being a kidnapper. GEE, THIS IS FAMILIAR are you gonna lose your damned mind too?!?
idk if he’d get involved per se but he’s here to laugh with popcorn.
no subject
Except no, not really because Bakhura is undecided on whether or not he trusts Zee and is absolutely down to help with the kidnapping in any way he can because he's interested in getting more information out of him about what's coming... he was a thief in his past life and a former pickpocket in this one so he can probably swing something if you're down for it!! (Just don't get him arrested or he's bailing on your asses. He needs his current job a lot more than he hates Retrospec.)

2) Why?
3) NO
Matt would be on team find Zee at least up until he hears a convincing argument that they're doing the right thing (good luck with that). Don't make this awkward by making him track Zee like a search dog. He'll be listening for lies out of the mouths of the kidnappers.

Real question is whether Matt will be in civilian mode or vigilante mode for this endeavor, since Xiaolang coming across him in the red suit would be hilarious
Like he can't judge people on their outfits given his own memories, but he will just. Side eye him SO MUCH.

I feel like this whole interaction will just end up going like
no subject
but yeah james at least will be telling the truth about what he did, so. feel free to use that info to (literally) sniff him out.

While Raina is new to the app, she won't tolerate kidnapping, not to mention she has very high observation skills so she will at least investigate the scene for herself at some point and also because she actually does have some kidnapping regains to get out of this so she will definitely help, even if she gets deterred in any way.
no subject
Especially in James' case because Bakhura is close with Malik even though Bakhura has absolutely zero idea about how... well James and Malik have been getting along since day one LMAO
But that works for me, and for Bakhura from an IC standpoint since he can bow out to save his own hide if he feels that things are getting a little too heated -- he's still an opportunistic bastard even in AU
no subject
no subject
he doesn't actually know that Bakhura and Malik are even FRIENDS
he has no reason to trust or distrust him actually. yet. so we'll see how that ends up lol
no subject
But yes, let's see how things play out! If nothing else, Bakhura has spoken to Derek a couple of times so that makes at least one person in the kidnapping brigade that's not a complete stranger even if he's not entirely sure whether he can trust any of them either just yet
no subject
Will do... I'm guessing the investigation part will begin after the kidnappers' thread progresses a decent amount?
