BARRIER QUEST 3.0: uh what are these weird bone things i'm uncomfortable

[rebells]

So! Some . . . things . . . have happened since we last spoke about BARRIER QUEST. Notably, the appearance of these Elto magic centers which characters will eventually discover has some sort of effect on the barrier! This will be ICly known by at least some characters by Night 64 due to the questionable decisions of Dirk Strider and Jake English, everyone give them a hand.

With that in mind, Jay will be trying to get some people together to collect as many of the Elto bones as they can safely manage and bring them up top to the barrier to see what kind of effect they have in conjunction. Since these things kind of shock people who touch them, especially if they're clustered together, there's a particular need for characters with:

• telekinetic or other powers that can move the structures without touching them


• transformative powers, to change the structures into other, non-shocky things


• hammerspace!

as well as fliers/water manipulators (to get people up) and explorers, if they can manage to get past the barrier.

This post is for OOC brainstorming and planning in advance of that (tentatively thinking a post will go up for this Saturday the 16th, if that works for people!) What sorts of things should we try? Does your character have any powers that might be useful, either ones I listed here or not? Anything else I completely failed to think of?

(There's also a plotting plurk right over here, if you prefer that mode of discussion!)

SIGNUPS FOR BARRIER QUEST 3.0

Signing 9S up for this. Canonically he and 2B are able to utilize some inventory and generate objects they carry (most notably, their weapon cache), and limiting this for logistical purposes, some number are likely usable. If nothing else, he's smart enough to collect them and use insulation to separate them if carried manually.

He and Julius have been working on building a usable flight unit/aircraft and lacked a power source, which now they conveniently have. It's possible to power this vehicle with bones and then extract them and hitch a ride back down, as well.

[lunala]

Moon is ready for this! She'll also help carry bones in water bubbles if we need any more than the inventory people/anyone else can carry. Of course she'd be up for exploring, too.

[needmetoo]

Xion here for water manipulation duty. And running recon. And whatever she's needed for, really

[rootandbranch]

Geir can help people get up again, carry other burdens as needed, and most importantly, explore if the barrier goes down!

[alphonse]

Al's definitely interested in seeing how it all pans out! And the standard volunteering of alchemy services. Maybe for max efficiency he could transmute compartmentalized structures to carry the bones in and then others could stick those in their inventory?

[deem]

Say, wanna have these kids combine forces? 9S could sure be keen on a way to insulate these bones for transport.

[alphonse]

Sure, sounds good to me!

[deem]

Tag team with Al! Awesome.

9S can ask him some questions about how his alchemy exchange system works while he's at it. We can thread something out over here if you're up for it. Not sure if the log has an exploration part yet but we could do something with them gathering bones.

[alphonse]

That works fine for me! I can hit you up if you tag in or throw Al on there later tonight, whatever's easier.

[deem]

If you'd be throwing Al on there later, I'll hit you up! It'd give me a chance to get on top of my tags so I'll be all ready to go.

[alphonse]

Oooorrrr I could fall asleep and not get to anything until the next day, but finally.

[deem]

Sleep is a demanding mistress and must be appeased, I know how that is.

[cadventuretime]

Any room for the sassy zombie girl? While she probably won't be the most helpful, her curiosity would definitely bring her to check this out if given the opportunity!

[bulletbiter]

Julius happens to be a world-devouring tree monster so he can contribute on the being electric-resistant front. His current form also allows him to absorb things and turn it into his own cells, though that's a bit bodyhorror ish and I understand that's not everyone's cup of tea. He can still carry the stuff, though!

[yancat]

Signing Jumin up! He has the power to control objects by command, so he can help carry the bones as long as they actually listen...

[oneandmikleonly]

Mikleo is here for water manip (he'll probably just be making sure people can breathe since actual carriage of the bones seems covered) and carrying people!

[splinten]

Dirk can fly and carry stuff in the sylladex but probably shouldn't be allowed to handle large amounts of the bones on his own. MORE IMPORTANTLY HE WANTS TO EXPLORE!!!

[heartkey]

aaaaa this is late but maybe it's not TOO late ... (my computer was broken and travel happened gomen)

BUT SORA WOULD DEFINITELY WANT TO GO ON THIS. he doesn't have most of the things needed but he's definitely 100% up for exploring and helping anyone out with anything he can, considering he has his keyblade and the magics that come with it. he can help explore or defend against anything dangerous that pops out or whatever else.

[rootbound]

vern will also be here so geir doesn't get anxiety (and to explore)

he's going via dragonmouth mobile which no one else wants so he at least won't take up a more useful person's space to go up there
