The Controlled Invasion [Open]

who: Augustine Sycamore (?) and You!
what: A mysterious criminal (?) made their move
when: September 22 - 23
where: Market area and Riverview University
warnings:

Ever since the news reports about high-tech weapon robberies seemingly conducted by a dragon and three mysterious creatures popping out from TV to social media, some of the residents grew cautious at what these mystery criminals will do next. They were not the only ones as the rest of the research facilities toughen up their securities to prevent another robbery from letting these dangerous weapons fall into the wrong hands.

It has been a few days after the news reports and for some reason, the remaining research facilities remained intact and that there have been no new updates regarding the robbery case. It seemed like everything is back to its peaceful state. That is until this Friday afternoon where masterminds are about to make their move.

I. Attack at the Riverview University

As today's classes were ended, many university students and professors were leaving to go home and rest for another day as many college kids are chatting about their latest thesis while some are asking professors regarding their tests and projects. However, this peaceful afternoon was interrupted when several residents are approaching the university grounds. For some reason, they have a dazed look in their dull eyes and even if you tried to call them out, they will not respond.

Unknown to the students, teachers, and any resident passing by, the dazed residents have a strange-looking earpiece on their ears as they hear one word from it.

"Go."

Before anyone can do anything, a grenade was thrown at them as it quickly explodes the moment it touches the ground. While no one was caught in the blast, the shock from the explosion caused everyone to stop their tracks and stare at the smoke, which the dazed residents began to grab them and drag them into a heavy-armored truck. Not only that, some of the residents pulled out some weapons from their gym bags and began to charge into the university to capture the ones who were still inside.

You have no idea what was happening, but if I were you, you might try to stop the dazed residents and save the hostages. Though if you can able to look behind the tree at the center square, you may see a hooded man hiding there, who is somehow observing the whole event.

II. The Scapegoat's Ambush

Meanwhile, at the market area, residents are going about their daily lives as they buy some groceries and new clothes while shopkeepers sell some of these said items to their eager customers, unaware of what is about to happen. If you're doing some shopping for groceries or anything or you're just passing by, you may notice a hooded man in a black robe holding out a megaphone as a shark/dinosaur dragon hybrid and a black squid-like creature stand by his side. And for some strange reason, there are some dazed residents staring at everyone with their dull eyes as the man then speaks out.

"Attention, all of the residents who are present right now. This is a bit sudden for me to say this, but as of right now, my partner is demanding all of you to come with me for your enlightenment. Joining is mandatory and bowing out is not an option. Anyone who resists... Shall be met by force!"

All of the sudden, the dazed residents draw out ropes, bats, and guns as they started to chase down every shopper and other residents around the market area and drag any defenseless resident to a heavy-armored truck nearby. If you managed to escape the chaos, you may notice the same hooded man somehow incapacitate some of the residents by throwing some small objects with some kind of power while the dragon also joined in to drag the others into the truck. If you have a sharp eye, you may also notice that the squid is somehow chuckling evilly as it watches the chaos unfolds.

In any case, you may have to act fast before they can get away. You may try to stop the dazed residents and the dragon and save the innocent or confront the hooded man. Regardless of your choice, it was the matter of time to save the residents from the mystery man.

[OOC: Welcome to the first part of my player plot! You are welcome to start a top-level on either run away from the dazed residents or save the day in either of the prompts. But as for the second prompt, there will be a starter for those who want to confront the mystery man. This way, I will try to play out the "mystery man" in order to play out the events leading up to the grand reveal of his identity. I will also RP the NPC partner he mentioned.

I also want to announce that I'm delaying Part 2 of the player plot a bit since I wanted to write another log about the aftermath of this event. More info about the changes will be in the OOC post!

EDIT: After a short conversation with Ladybug/Marinette's player, I will put up a starter on encountering the hooded man that will take place before the market area attack very shortly.

Regardless, good luck and have fun RPing!]

[ Well she would definitely be bothered if she knew that. But right now her attention was focused on staying on her feet, watching Garchomp take off. And because she couldn't leave well enough alone, she took to the air and followed from the rooftops, making sure they got to the hospital safely before she swung herself away from the buildings and made her way home.

She was going to sleep FOR A DAY. ]
