telepathy to all

[splinten]

I need everyone who is down for a rescue mission to say what they can do in terms of wrecking shit and/or support skills, and any strategies they have for getting in. We do not need to be stalling on this. Peach is in the goddamned castle and Bowser has not been demonstrably a nice guy, so let's get the fucking hat on and move.

Skills, strategies, plans. Let's get them out and get going.

[ooc: threadhopping obviously allowed and encouraged here!

EDIT: some ooc plotting here!]

I have some medical training, so I can help there.

[ Even though privately he's also sweating at the idea -- he's trained, sure, but he's also still training and he's never really had a chance to test his mettle and honestly what if he messes up -- ]

My magic lets me, uhm, unlock locks too.

[idolpedia]

I appreciate it. Thank you.

[ In the end, his lack of reaction is all she needs to feel slightly more at ease with her admittance, so all she responds with is a polite, calm: ]

Understood. I will provide support and firepower to the decoy vanguard. Hacking is not my forte...I can't interface with other mechanical constructs as well as I'd like.

[ That's not how she works, unfortunately. That'd take an actual hacker, like Fuuka, if she were here. ]

...Does my being not bother you?

[ Or maybe he's compartmentalizing it. She's curious. Sue her. ]

[splinten]

That would help, thanks.

[splinten]

Like you said, it isn't 'no reason' to them. We're illegal magic users, and they've been campaigning against us for weeks.

[splinten]

The more confusion the better for our situation.

[splinten]

That's all helpful enough as it is. Thanks.

[He didn't actually expect the question. It means there's a pause, and then he says,]

If you mean your status as a machine, not particularly. I spent a lot of my free time building robots and programming AIs for them when I was growing up. It would only bother me if you decided to go Terminator or Hal 9000 on us, and that'd piss me off in anything human too.

[splinten]

[well he can think of ONE very useful way to apply that]

Are you interested in breaking into a building that probably has a lot of locks?

[splinten]

[He feels less like someone organizing shit than someone trying to set a room on fire and asking who has matches and who has gasoline. Which he guesses is a form of organization, in a very loose sense, and for a very stupidly distracted moment he considers whether or not rapid oxidation that releases heat, light, and other reaction products should be considered a form of order or disorder.]

Let's hope it all adds up to something good actually happening.

[knighthooded]

We'll be blazing past their defenses.

[can this actually be stopped]

[splinten]

This rescue mission is going to be dope.

[witchwithoutacause]

Hey though, what if the whole language barrier thing comes up again?

[rootbound]

[he just kind of sLIDES THAT OVER telepathically

dirk will also get a paper copy slightly later]

[guerrilla]

I'm pretty bad at fighting directly, but I was always pretty fond of causing a ruckus and setting a trap. The fewer people we have in the way to stop us from breaking in, the better, right? I can't set 'em up like I used to, but if I have some people help me put 'em together, we could make a project of it.

[And that way he can do more than put on a police costume and pretend like he belongs here.]

[inspiteful]

There's a first time for everything.

[ Which is to say, yes. ]

[deem]

[With access to the right servers and systems, 9S could probably be a wildfire all on his own. Any Scanner could, since it's part of how they work. He could control one unit and influence as many others as he could get to, given the chance.

Still, that's of no use without someone coordinating the effort. Someone asking who can do what and how. No doubt he'll need a diversion if security proves more complex than he expects, for one thing]

Where there's a will, there's a way, right? We'll just make it happen.

[insubordination]

Just let me know where and when.

[ otherwise, roy will poke around to try and get in himself, and no one wants that. ]

I'll rely information I obtain on the inside to the rest of you as I get it.

[insubordination]

I'm willing to hazard a bet that they won't be happy.

[ the backlash will likely be swift, and they'll be removed from the city immediately. roy doesn't really seem to mind the thought. ]

At any rate, we'll have a pleasant tour of the outside of the city on our way out.

[justiceobjects]

Has anyone that was taken actually been using magic? Do they have any proof? ... Uh, I'm assuming this telepathy stuff doesn't count.

None of the welcoming speeches I got when I came to this city said anything about magic-users not being allowed. Just not to use magic. Distinctions like that are important.

[splinten]

I checked out the technology that translated for us before. I might be able to do something with it.

[splinten]

You want to Home Alone this shit, go for it.

[splinten]

Infiltration crew would appreciate it.

[witchwithoutacause]

Good. Lotsa Japanese kids here.

[rebells]

I know what hacking is. Vaguely, at least.

[The succinct refresher is appreciated, though.]

I'm confident in my ability to not be seen, but I won't turn down the advantage of invisibility. I'll talk to him.

[rebells]

We know where they were taken, but we could use some help casing the area, if you have any experience with that.
