OOC PLOTTING: Eden pt 3
With the third part of the plot up, it looks like our characters will be splitting up into a few groups. Since this will involve some OOC coordination, here's a plotting post for people to declare which group their character's going with, and if they're contributing something the other characters (and players) should know about!
Don't forget to check out the info doc of information characters have been ICly passing around (if your character's learned something major they'd want to share, please add it!) At this point, with Steven and Strange both relaying information between the city and Barrens groups, it's safe to assume that all characters have been brought up to speed and have full access to this info.
As it is, the three main groups in this next phase of the plot are:
Team Rescue: those infiltrating the Twelve's base to rescue captured allies and innocents.
Team Heist: those infiltrating the Twelve's base to find and steal the Silver Mirror.
Team Party: those staying in the city and attending Samyaza's party.
Additionally, players with Scholar NPCs may volunteer them for some confrontations with infiltrating characters!
Another note: Characters in the infiltration groups will have the option of being returned to their normal forms if they like! The Ringmaster will disenchant and provide clothes for those who choose this. (If you get your transformation dispelled in some other way after splitting up, you're on your own for clothes!)
If you're set on which group your character will be in, please drop a comment here! (It's not mandatory or anything though, just trying to get a feel of the makeup of each team and what they'll be doing!) If you're not sure yet, don't worry! There's still time to figure it out. Feel free to use this post to inform your choice, ask OOC questions, and/or post a plotting comment of your own!

TEAM RESCUE
no subject
She has three forms of flame based magic- minor healing, a fire hot enough to burn Most Things, and then a cold 'energy draining' flame. Aside from the various fire magic, she can turn into a hummingbird and will likely do that as needed.
For the most part she's remaining a snake- it's a small species, which could be handy for slinking around.
no subject
Alphys is going on team rescue, and she's going to remain a rabbit in the meantime so she's smol and easy to
hidefit into tight spaces. She's also got her general engineering/tech skills at hand, er, paw.no subject
no subject
She's currently a big horse and is probably staying that way for now for inconspicuousness's sake, but she might shapeshift fists out of the front if she needs to grasp something or do a hit.
TEAM HEIST
RITA
She'll be taking up the Ringmaster's offer to return some of them to their human forms. Functioning fingers are great to have.
PAPYRUS
He'll also take up the offer to be his usual self; the saber tooth form's already lost the element of surprise, and he misses being a skeleton.
CHILDERMASS
LAMBERT
As per investigation, Lambert’s best guess is that they will likely encounter resistance from the Twelve in both the portal room and where the mirror is kept. Given everything they’ve encountered/seen so far, his best guess is it will involve Bezaliel (shadow/mysteries), Armaros (enchantments, can control people), and Baraquel (technology/lightning).
He will be asking anyone tagging along beforehand with a specialty in combat to be prepared accordingly. Armaros’s traps are particularly pernicious since they can turn people against each other.
His rough outline of a plan is basically “get people into both mirror and meeting rooms as possible, fight off the architects, grab the mirror, and get back out of dodge.” It apparently takes some willpower to get into the mirror room in the first place, but it’s a bit hard to concentrate if you’re being attacked. Those who are particularly durable will be specifically asked try to make the jump to the other side before or alongside any sneaky/more magic types, in case there’s an ambush on the other end.
Standing orders will be not to touch the Mirror yourself if you can at all help it. If anyone has ideas on breaking a mirror free they better speak up too!
no subject
He will be returning to his human state.
PERIDOT
She's going to stop being a raccoon and return to base form, mostly because she's much sturdier as a gem and also she has a spell for an animal guise she can use for stealth purposes if necessary. She'll probably be a bat for a lot of time in exchange, but at least this way she can return to a non-meat-based form on demand if the situation gets violent which, lets be honest, it probably will.
ALSO she can help sort out any technological barriers Baraquel has set up.
ZANGETSU
He'll be dumping his shark form in favor of his humanoid one, but he's definitely still gonna be in ghost/soul form. It's too convenient to be largely invisible. He's able to detect souls in a fairly wide radius, so sneaking up on him is next to impossible. He's here to chew gum and kick Architect ass and he's ALL OUTTA GUM
no subject
TEAM PARTY
no subject
She's more than eager to go along with Some Kind of Plan though so consider this a check-in of sorts and an open 'HEY UH, SHE'LL...DO WHAT SHE CAN IF YAH LET HER??'
Being an Empath could at least mean figuring out Samyaza's general emotions on matters if they get her close at least, and worst case she can fly Quite Fast.
no subject
Not too many plans here besides just trying not to raise suspicion, I guess, and being ready to make a break for it (explosively) if it comes to that.
RIN
HERBERT
1. at least one Supervisor should stay back
2. if shit goes down, his medical knowledge might come in useful
3. nobody seems suspicious of him, somehow, so he's going to ride on that
Parties, despite being a thing Herbert would hate even if they weren't probably some sort of trap, are at least probably less fighting-centric than the mirror/captive quest.
no subject
Hinawa is here, but 100% ready to bolt if need be. She doesn't have any magic but she does have a mean pair of ram horns.
OTHER
STRANGE
He will need a reflective surface in order to do so. He can probably pop in at the party via some out of the way water feature, but will definitely need someone on Team Heist and Team Rescue to bring a hand mirror or something like that so he can accurately pass on information.

EQUIPMENT REQUEST
Equipment wise the Furies can make all kinds of things. They can't guarantee how long they'll live up against the Twelve, though, considering they can bend reality. There is no amount of durability or firepower that can defeat that.
But if they give the Furies a list then they can make or bring along what they need.
Let know below if your character would have requested anything specific. The Furies can make more general kinds of weapons — Lambert is only going to ask for bladed weapons to generally arm anyone who wants it.
Both Heist and Rescue can avail of this.
LIST SO FAR (don’t reply to this)
2. Some kind of stun grenade that can be detonated to create a burst of light and a lot of noise. (for anyone who wants it)
3. Silver knife (Lambert)
4. Big axe (Jasper)
5. A length of lead to hit people with (Peridot)
6. A heavy-duty blindfold, in case the mirror has some visual-based mind control shit going on (Zangetsu)
7. A small hand mirror/reflective piece of metal (Zangetsu)
8. Radios/communication devices of some kind; either Carnival-made or Fury-made (Papyrus, but requested for the teams in general)

2. A small hand mirror/reflective piece of metal to a. communicate with Strange and b. REFLECT THE MIRROR BACK AT IT!!! it seems like a good idea ok
no subject
Mirrors are probably fine too, if Strange can coordinate it.
