The Great Prison Caper of 2016!

It's time for another Player Plot~

...Look, Ellie's got a lot of plots and schemes and so do I, okay? Okay. So here's the basics.

WHO: I need to be picky about who's going to sign up, since she's taking on people who are either candidates for her future quasi-villain team, or ridiculously gullible who wouldn't question her motives and keep a tight lip on what goes down. I can give you IC reasons for these things, but essentially, I'm trying to build up her secret identity as the Brigand Leader and it wouldn't be fun if someone blew her cover before it even began. Save that for later!

WHAT: The mission is to break the prisoners out of the Heran island jail before they get eaten by the Calamity. Naturally this would make for poor PR if it were discovered that heroes were setting loose criminals, so they need to stage this as if they're "stealing" Ashe's submarine, and liberating people undercover. Ellie's going to make some arrangements in order to jail the prisoners elsewhere, possibly in Aerilon, and she will. (But not ALL of them, only the ones who aren't interested in joining her brigand guild. But you don't need to know this, shhhhhhh.)

WHEN: The actual prison break takes place in January (I haven't picked the exact date, but probably earlier in the month. It could be as early as January 1st to take advantage of any guards at the prison who celebrated the new year a little too hard). So why am I bringing it up now? Because if you want into her crew, your character needs to be on her good side. That means building CR with her. She's not going to risk any unknown factors for a mission of this importance, since it demands the utmost secrecy. I will happily log anything you like, and if we don't finish by the day, we can OOCly work out the details.

WHERE: Probably not important. SAIL.

WHY: On the surface, to save lives, even if they're not innocent. For Ellie personally, she wants men to build her ranks which will lead to future criminal efforts. Conflict and plots for all!

So if you're interested, comment here and we can start plotting things out.

Yuffie's in! I'm a little shaky on plot ideas, she was going to be involved with the first attempt though and stealing makes her smile.

You may want to check with the mods to see when the prison will be overtaken by the Calamity, it may be right on the 1st of January.

ALSO in light of this Christmas truce stuff, it may need to be that Ellie actually does steal the submarine from Ashe - depending on how the talks go, this could wind up being directly against Ashe's new foreign policy, as it were. I'll keep you posted.

Kidd was on board for Olivier and Ashe's version of the plan, so she'd be willing to help as long as she didn't die on the Christmas thing.

Also she....doesn't blame, nor is she suspicious of Ellie for how the moogle hunt went but she's certainly not thinking of taking her on with the Assassins at this time.

More importantly, I'm out of town until monday

Ales is definitely coming and keeping her secret because Ellie is going this for the betterment of society, so it's all worth it.

He can help with flying over there or using his Thief Job to help sneak around.

Of course. He's equipping Engineer for this mission, so he'll have extra help with that!
