[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

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."

The coffee wasn't brilliant. But the one good thing about having Goro Akechi over as a guest was that he'd consumed much less pleasant things than mediocre coffee and had done so without complaint. A little sugar worked wonders- and the curry was immaculate.

After the third bite, he inhaled. Let it go. "I'll admit it. Sometimes, I miss this. Tell Frog I appreciate it, hm? But... yeah. Good news, he's agreed to help. Bad news, I think he's been Actualized."

"I know the signs. I've seen a lot of people under that power. I've been under it, at least twice, maybe more. Memory isn't amazingly reliable on that front, on account of the Actualization, and I've had recurring. Nightmares where I'm back there, under Maruki's control. I know what it feels like and what it looks like. I think- I don't know if he did it to himself, or if something else did it to him. But there's definite gaps in his memory and he gets the same way Sparrow does around the topic of what date it is. I don't know what's going on there, but it's going to be a problem sooner or later."

Phoenix rubbed his face. "Yeah. I don't know what to think about it. There was a range of outcomes I was prepared for? This? Not among them. Also he's making Azathoth manifest in the physical world apparently without conscious effort. Not accidentally, but reflexively. Which is concerning, to say the least. I don't... know what the move is, here."

"Not... uncontrollable. Reflexive. Like it reached out to stop him falling over, I don't know." He sighed. "Part of me knows you're right. Part of me wants to give him a chance. One chance. Maybe that's me being irrational, maybe he's... still in my head, somehow. Making me sympathetic towards his point of view."

"If you push back on this, I'll give. All I've got to defend this are gut feelings and hypotheticals. Some of the shit I said seemed to get through to him, like he'd never considered it before and was really struggling with it. Maybe there'll be one timeline where Maruki goes back, and gives up. I don't know."

"Goodness of my heart, fuck me, you sound like Charlie when you say that. Augh."

"But I see your point. It's too much to risk on a hunch, and I get the idea he's already had altercations with others on the team anyway. It'd cause friction."

"I'm entering my fucking Caligula arc. It's going to be full-on tyranny and everyone will know it's your fault. There will be orgies of blood in the streets and I'm going to replace one of the Velvet Attendants with a horse."

He blinked. "Oh. Uh. Roman emperor who was famous for being a fucking lunatic. He ran Rome like it was his own personal little murder sex dungeon, tried to make his favorite horse a magistrate, and was ultimately assassinated by his own guards, because of course he was."

"Come to think of it, I don't actually know any demons that take on equine forms. You'd think there would be, we've got goats and spiders and wolves and every fucking aquatic creature you can think of, but for some reason no horses. Weird."
