[network][locked from warped_ken_amada and any character under 10] anti-evil baby task force

[ The following initial paragraph is added on December 19th, following Zenkichi's arrival. ]
NOTICE TO ALL NEWCOMERS: SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT AMADA, THE PLANNING, AND THE SITUATION EXCEPT IN THIS POST. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, ASK THEM HERE AND SOMEONE WILL ANSWER THEM. FOR FUCK'S SAKE *DON'T ASK PUBLICLY WHAT WE'RE ALL TALKING ABOUT IN LOCKED POSTS*


hey everyone (except amada and kiddos)

in case any of you aren't aware of the situation, one of the ken amadas killed falcon a couple days ago, then made a network post threatening the rest of us. so obv we need to neutralize him

i made my own post to collect ideas abt how to do that. this is part 2, and i'm gonna update this one with new info so pls save it and come back to it


THINGS WE KNOW

the most important new info is that if amada is killed, igor won't bring him back. he'll be dead forever. so killing him is back on the table in theory, though how to do that/whether we can do that is a question mark

i sent frog to ask igor & co some questions. they were p forthcoming by their standards. if anyone didn't know, they've said they didn't bring amada in. frog learned some interesting new stuff, too, such as the death thing. also: igor has less control over amada than he does over the rest of us, which we kinda already knew. when frog asked who brought amada to the velvet room if not igor, he said "he brought himself (|||❛︵❛.)" and then he didn't answer any followup questions such as, so how many other people can sense this place from the outside, and can they get in too

igor also confirmed that he would be willing to temporarily lift the restrictions on sagiri's powers to deal with amada

amada caused non-fatal harm to someone who went after him, so murder is not his *only* weapon. he can also do broken bones (* ^ ω ^) he also made it so that bone couldn't be healed, so it's a more serious issue than a lot of us are used to. that said, he's still threatened to kill any and all of us, and after falcon we should be taking that seriously

another amada wrote up this info for combat. READ THIS if you think you're likely to see combat with the psycho amada, and maybe even if you don't think so. DO NOT VOLUNTEER TO FIGHT until you've read it


IDEAS

lotus has said that he may be able to exert control over amada by receiving his name. he can't guarantee that it'll work tho

lotus also has another possible trick up his sleeve, more dangerous to everyone including him. frog and i know abt it tho so we can be thinking abt it, and if all else fails, we can all discuss it then

like i said above, sagiri is willing to use his god-level powers, though he hasn't explained what he would be doing w them

if igor agrees to unleash kira as well, kira might be able to possess amada and lower his defenses, and help get the rest of us out of danger

aragaki has brought up using amada's mother as a weak spot

we may be able to create rumors in sumaru that work to our advantage if we fight him there

shrike may be able to use psychic abilities to affect amadas state of mind. this is unpredictable and risky, probably best used if things are already looking grim


PREV IDEAS THAT NOW LOOK LESS GOOD

phoenix and renée have brought up swords that block regeneration. but they would have to strike a killing blow with the sword. to start with, other amada thought that might be impossible, and we also know now that a killing blow will be fatal no matter what weapon

maruki's actualization probably wouldn't work, and if it did it wouldn't stick, according to phoenix who has been actualized


FIGHTING

we're fucked if we don't at least get ready for a fight. it's gonna be rough (READ OTHER AMADA'S WRITEUP) but we've heard some thoughts

other amada is willing to train with us, starting in a few days

crow believes that bonds will be important in making wild cards stronger for upcoming battles

rose is going to look into items that pierce elemental resistance, including growing new plants w noir. the plants might or might not be ready in time

given the new info, i've cut some people from the fight list. i can vouch for the strength of most people who were in my palace. anyone else, i don't know as well. really think abt whether you're up to standard before volunteering. the current list of people who're up for a fight is as follows

-me
-frog
-glitch
-phoenix
-spades
-crow
-joker
-magpie
-falcon
-vampire ren
-briar
-renée
-hasegawa
-suou
-raven
-wild
-karasu
-amada

as well as the other amada, who is on another level than the rest of us

to stay on the list, train with not-psycho amada and work on defensively-oriented strats. once amada is ready to train, we'll set up a schedule


WHAT WE NEED RN (besides training + collecting items)

input on the ideas. we have a lot of "maybe it'll work"s and no "this will definitely work"s, so we need to decide on which maybes to try first and which to hold off on as a plan B, plan C, etc

to add/correct/remove ideas or volunteer/unvolunteer, reply to this post. if u wanna talk to me in person, i'll be taking care of leblanc for the next several days while frog goes on a research binge. after that, go to leblanc anyway and if i'm not already there, frog will summon me


the situation is shitty, but i don't think anyone here wants to sit around and let someone threaten our lives. if nothing else, amada seems like the kind of guy who would fuck up a little kid if they got in his way, and we have little akira and little goro wandering around. we've come together for less, some of us have killed gods, so we can come together and get rid of this threat now

I guess we can test on myself to see if the idea has a basis. From the data we'll gain we can then give up or refine further.

My main concern is on whether this can work at all, not about finding something that would be effective. Both he and I are made out of the stuff cognition comes from, so my fear is that as long as we don't think we can be affected we won't be.

If there are concerns about my safety we can test something really benign, the goal is just to see if we have immunity or not.

How about, "The Ken Amada who didn't kill Falcon but has incredible power has gained incredible power thanks to the bonds he's made?"

We can weaponize power of friendship. It's already an acceptable concept in this place.

Specificity might not hurt. For instance...

"Empowered by his friends, the good Ken Amada with special powers is invulnerable to his evil doppelganger's abilities."

My codename is Briar. I don't think we've ever actually met in person, but thank you for letting me join. I won't let you down.

he's agreed to help but there is other shit going on that's going to need to be discussed and i dont trust the network

Okay, let's see...

"The Ken Amada with facial scars, who is close friends with Raven, can summon ice cream cones with a snap of his fingers."

Or perhaps since it's getting colder, we can substitute it for something more pragmatic, like a hot food or beverage.

It didn't take long- Leblanc was literally around the corner, after all, and soon enough a thoroughly shaken-looking Phoenix was stepping through the door- not before hitting his head on the damn doorframe, which he hadn't done in fucking months, which was probably evidence of just how badly out of it he was.

He sank into a booth, drawing in a breath.

"Alright. Hey."

"Curry and... any kind of coffee sounds good. Thank you, Ren. I'm fine, it's just. My nerves are fucking shot."

He looked up, grateful. "... Yeah, food first. I think I need a minute to... gather my thoughts, anyway. Thank you."

I’ve only now managed to sift through the recent posts regarding the situation, and I have some thoughts to contribute. I understand my presence here isn’t particularly welcome at the moment but judging by the information shared so far, it’s clear that Amada-kun has reached a point where no lines remain uncrossed.

    -Several of you are correct—belief is the foundation of Actualization. Without it, the changes I impose can and will reverse. As much as I would like to help the boy trapped beneath that violent exterior, I cannot risk attempting this alone. Defending myself from him is another matter entirely, but I don’t recommend relying solely on this as a strategy.
    -Katsuya-san’s idea to exploit Sumaru is worth further investigation. Through my work in the Lab and experiments with Azathoth, I could be able to manipulate collective cognition on a considerable scale and I would have tried it in other circumstances but its best to communicate it first. I have some theories about how this might apply here, but the finer details require discussion in person.

    -Aragaki san's idea is also a wonderful approach. I brought this up earlier—though no one seemed particularly inclined to comment—that Amada-kun likely has a human tether we can exploit. His mother appears to be a critical connection. Judging by my experience with other Marukis and their cognitions, I could use that tether to influence his mental state. The more I understand about their relationship, the better I can construct something to reach him. I have...only made vague concepts so far which don't seem to last long but the more I know about a patient, the more I can read the patterns behind their thinking and how they might mirror the person closest to them. Amada-kun's mother might actually help save him from himself. I also refuse to trust the details of this process to an open network.

Going back to our personas and items- I have infinite storage tucked away in my coat and the depths of my mind (I can also manifest infinite snacks? It feels like a running joke at this point haha)
This accelerates when I am in my Lab- I don't know if that's as helpful however.

Through my time in mementos I believe I get the concept of the elemental attacks you might be referring to. I try not to use magic until strictly necessary but judging from the nature of Tyrant Chaos, Piercing Strike(?) and Megidolaon- they seem to be the moves you guys need. I have some buffs and debuffs as well which amplify those attacks- and a small healing spell through a tentacle but it might not be as strong. Fighting isn't my strong suit here either but I have learnt to polish some of my combat skills.

I am truly sorry to hear whoever must have been on the recieving end of this Amada-kun's lethal and non-lethal attacks. The case of broken bones and amputation is something I have dealt with as well- I could ask Azathoth to regenerate their limbs as well. There are some drawbacks like constant hunger and your energy draining away until you are hit with an actual healing spell (Credit to Midnight for helping me refine this process.)

That’s all I have for now. If you still need my help—and frankly, if you don't I will stick to my original plan of defending myself—then I suggest we set aside our grievances and meet face-to-face.
Can't exactly deny the need for a decent cup of coffee nowadays.

The ability to hide my facial scars. That would be right what he'd expect me to try to do: he called me a coward, after all.
