"Our hypothesis was more along the lines of a Suvian wishing to remove all competition. They are more prone to obtaining the amount of power necessary to pull off such a wish, and are less likely to understand the repercussions of their actions."

((in a new thread here.))

"If you're not picky about whether or not the hot water turns on, I could direct you to the locker rooms near RC F? Fair warning, though, they probably haven't been used since the mid-aughts. Newer RCs usually have ensuites."

((Reply to Bookworm's reply, just to prevent the thread down there from getting too cluttered.

And yes, that's a reference to Jay being delighted at hot water showers at OFUM.))

Rose sighed at the remark as she sat down. "Anyway. Looks like we know about as much as you – or as PPC agents do. Technically, it could be some kinda secret program, but..."

Someone else shook their head. "That'd have leaked at some point, and targeting World One humans is explicitly against like, a whole bunch of multiversal treaties."

"Whoever did this –" Rose was holding her head with a hand – "wasn't plannin' to, or at least not with other people. They had, or they got, enough power to do it on this kinda scale..."

"And they're in or adjacent to the PPC," the other completed, "otherwise they wouldn't have any reason to specifically kill Sues."

Rose thought for a while, head firmly planted in her hand. Eventually, she spoke again.

"Disgruntled agent, or somethin' like that, with enough power to instantly kill millions across the multiverse. This is gonna be a fuvgshow."

It would be a while, he supposed. He was never gonna be an agent again. But, at the exact same time, justice would be served. He sat down, reclined back, and closed his eyes.

The Tiger Lily came into the RC, having unlocked the lock on it. David Null sat up, opening his eyes.

Where is K, asked the Lily.

"In the shower," David Null responded. "Leave him be. I'm the one you want. He has no part in this."

That contradicts your previous statement, the Flower said. Tell me the truth now: is K involved or not?

"He isn't," David lied. K seemed so frightened at the possiblity... David didn't want to give him a heart attack. It was bad enough that David turned him into a vampire. He didn't need to be the cause of the slightly-younger agent's death, either.

Then tell me- the Tiger Lily started.

A portal opened, and an older woman stepped out, her lab coat fluttering in her motion.

Who- the Flower tried again.

"Excuse me for interrupting," said the older woman.

((And that's a wrap! This thread is now closed. If you wish to interact with me in roleplay, you may bring an agent to Paye and Crow's door (their RC Number is way more complicated) or you can continue O'Ryan's thread. Please note that I will not make any RP posts until after 6pm-ish CDT tomorrow because it's my bday.))

... but I lost my way and ended up here. I can't find my RC, and I'm not sure where else they have showers." Boadicea followed Neo.

"Let's get our toes behind the generic grey line, everyone," he instructed, as Makes-Things closed the door to RC Hyperbola on David and K. The Head Technician then took out what appeared to be a comically large lock and pressed it to the door. A set of Blello caution tape marked 'CRIME SCENE: DO NOT CROSS' rolled out from the lock and attached itself all over the door.

Once the door was sealed, Makes-Things pocketed the lock and examined the key and sludge again. "I should've retired years ago," he said.

Neo laughed. "And that's the end of the battery, folks," he said to Alberta and Boadicea. "Let's leave him alone. Where do you need to go, helmet-hair?"

((And that's probably scene on this; Bookworm can pick up in a new thread if they want.))

((Because my bday's tomorrow and I'm going to Skyzone with the Drama Club!))

((-kA))

while Liam followed Alice into the kitchen to help look for ice cream.

"What we know is that Suvians and people of Suvian origin -- badfic rescues, reformed Sues, and so on -- have all vanished," reported Lori, looking warily around at the assembled. "Since my husband and I," she nodded at Bill, "were one of the few HQ workers who were working on ways to purge Glitter out of Suvians in order to lessen the need for assassination, we knew it couldn't have been us, since our de-Glitterifier broke last year and we haven't restored it to functionality yet."

"Besides, ours has a limited scope," added Bill. "Only one lifeform at a time. Definitely not capable of simultaneous Multiversal de-Glittering."

"And our de-Glitterifier doesn't kill people, it just takes the extra Glitter out of them so they can have a better chance at reforming," continued Lori. "Nor would we want to get rid of already-reformed Suvians and badfic rescues. I mean, the latter are mostly children."

((I know M-T’s battery isn’t literal. Just thought it’d make a funny gag.))

((You may now do whatever it is you all wish!))

Eledhwen is lawful good. She's a marchwarden back in Rivendell and in a yet-to-be-published backstory stitchup chapter she wanted to help some Sues who had betrayed the League of Mary Sue Factories by getting them into a witness protection-esque thing in New Cal.

Christianne is chaotic good. She's prone to doing dumb things for loved ones, like breaking into a Mary Sue Factory, against the express wishes of the DES, to rescue Eledhwen. She and Eledhwen also sorta peaced out of the PPC around 2015 for a bit, and though Eledhwen could've sworn she filed the paperwork, it might not have registered properly, hence one more mission in 2016. But the impetus to just run off without telling anyone was pure Christianne.

The Disentangler is chaotic neutral. She's mostly friendly, but she's definitely done some bad things in the past, and her joking can occasionally shade into a-hole territory.

The Agent is... true neutral, I suppose? Prone to getting dragged along with the Disentangler, but wanting to be a bit more law-abiding. He and the Disentangler's appearances in Very Kell might best illustrate their differences.

Liu Siyuan is probably lawful neutral, since he abides by the rules and customs of his home continuum to a fault, including allowing it to make him get a bit bullheaded when he culture-clashes with HQ stuff. In the development I've done for him this past year, though, he does show chaotic tendencies, and even evil tendencies -- but since they're highly situation-dependent, I wouldn't say it forms a core part of him.

"I'm going to use the bathroom," K muttered, looking paler than usual. He walked through the cabinet.

"I promise that the cabinet doesn't lead anywhere," David added. "Just to the bathroom. That's all. You can ask Paye if you'd like."

((The cabinet that leads to the bathroom was first mentioned... in their fourth mission, although it was Paye going through to shower and leave Matt and David alone. Interesting.))

((-kA))

((Edit: MATT and David alone, not Natt.))

"So..." Rose sighed. "Shpx, now I want ice cream too. We'll deal with that later. For now... What does everyone know so far?"

One of the handful of people who had just arrived chimed in, their tone flat: "Anyone who could have been considered outright Suvian by PPC standards, at any point in their life, has disappeared."

"Including people from World One," Rose confirmed, "if they got OP enough out there."

The newcomer nodded, and continued: "That leaves most of our community here missing, possibly dead. We assumed the PPC was involved, obviously, and were about to plan a counterattack..."

"... But then y'all showed up, and told us you were just about as confused as we are. Now, what do you know, and what's going on in HQ right now?"

"The Tiger Lily and her squad will be the only ones who can get through the lock we'll set. Don't worry! It's perfectly secure."

Makes-Things nodded at K and David Null. "Stand clear of the door, please," he intoned.

((M-T doesn't have a literal battery here; he's just low on energy to deal with agents and could get snappish about it. He's known to be skittish of them, so the fact that he's been willingly tossing himself into interacting with agents suggests the Poofening is serious!))

She could probably fight her way out of this, but that wouldn't end well for anybody involved, and it would give these people a valid reason to arrest her. Come to that, they could probably arrest her already for stealing food.

((I wouldn't put it past one of these internal affairs police type folks to have asked DoSAT to create a sort of RC lock that only the DIA has the keys for.))

((I just need to modify some stuff OR get a DIA agent/the Tiger Lily unshered into RC Hyperbola and then Val interupt. Preferably the latter. Val does a bit of a funny gag with the Multiversal Laws and such.))

((-kA))

I’m sure Makes-Things...has other, uh, things to make.”

((Thanks for covering for any of my OOC from M-T. I like the idea of him having a literal battery for that. XD))

“You have ice cream? Can I get some?”

((I think M-T will seal your folks back up in their RC, lock the door, and call the DIA. Then Val can pop in before the DIA show up. How's that?))

According to the wiki page on Trolls that is accurate. It just seems the concept is under-utilized.
