OOC: Slenderplot for Team Light

Greetings, O Team Light! You could probably have a more clever name but I'm not that clever, so Team Light you are.

Anyway. Things of importance! Namely, the final confrontation and wrapping up the plot. We need to discuss:

More people have signed up to fight than to be victims/proxies. For this reason, when it comes to the final confrontation I'd like to divide you all into teams and have some of you focus on rescuing victims, others on subduing proxies, some chasing Slendy in the woods (quite likely, to find and destroy his tree.) One team that I especially need volunteers for is Jack's team, which will actually corner and confront Slendy.

I do have a plan for how to get rid of Slenderman, but it's kind of a "if we don't think of anything better" deal, so I'd like to hear ideas of how to finally defeat Slendy. Remember: he cannot be killed. We can play with the idea of him drawing power from people believing in him; the flipside to that that I can see is if people power up Jack with belief in him so he can drive his dark half out--but that's more of a "if we don't think of anything better" deal too.

As for the teams, I'd like them to be 2-4 people, and you can decide how you want to divide yourself up or I can do that for you.

I'd like to pre-thread the final confrontation because I'm moving at the end of the month and don't know how available I'll be the last few days. I would like to have everything wrapped up by November 1st.

Please comment below with your ideas for the final confrontation.

Uhhhhhh so.

It was an idea, and it may have been mine.

That Psy should have a danceoff battle with the Slenderman and send him back to wherever he came from.

(EYYYYYY, SLENDY LADYYYYY)

I like the believing in Jack idea!

Also, if Slenderman cannot be killed, can he be banished? Does he have a home dimension?

OR

If he is supposed to be a tree pretending to be a dude, can we lock him back in tree form? Then he would just be a creepy tree and there could be a fence around it or something. (Or you could chop it down and burn it, but that might be going a bit too far...)

Perhaps Sweeney would let Slendy get tossed into the Dreaming with all the other nightmares?

Just brainstorming!

Jo, I am sad that you're not supporting Psy.

Deadpool would support Psy, but he doesn't go here.

Doesn't he have a lot of feelings, though??

... In all seriousness, I like the Dreaming and tree-binding notions.

I really like the locking in tree form as it just seems like it would fit. Also much less messy.

If he can be banished to a home dimension, Olivia's primary power is being able to travel between universes unscathed (which is a BFD in Fringeverse), so maybe we could play with something there? Or that power could assist in locking him inside the tree somehow? Maybe there's a pocket universe inside the tree! I DON'T KNOW. Thing!

Binding, whatever it may be followed up with, does seem to make sense.

I also like the entire binding-into-tree-form idea; if the entire concept of Slenderman equates to belief-focused power (tulpa-like), then counteracting that with a belief of equal/greater power (driven/led by Jack?) seems both very logical and also the sort of thing that leaves Slenderman intact come the day when overwhelming power of belief allows him to break from binding again, as seems appropriate for a fear-based mythos figure.

... that was a very run-on sentence. Um. Yes!

X's claws have been carved with symbols from Joris, Helen, and Jamie's canon. She has a decent working knowledge of those symbols. I believe one of them binds the non-corporeal demons (And Them, the string-pullers of the multiverse) of that canon into the corporeal form they are inhabiting and means they can't leave. A lot of demon hunter weapons/etc use it.

If that might come in handy?

(She can do similar things by sticking stuff with her claws, but I somehow feel that might be less useful here.)

I was thinking of that in light of the tree-form idea, for what that is worth.

Please comment below to be on Jack's final confrontation team.

This guy right here!

Enzo's here and/or on search and rescue.

If she'd work for it, I'm good with Asami being on the forest and/or Jack's team.

Steve will be on this team, mostly for the sake of my sanity.

Bucky says Steve's not going up against this thing without him.

Ambriel would fit best here, I believe!

ETA: If you have too many there, I can easily switch to stopping and subduing proxies.

Dani can be here and/or on search and rescue.

Please comment below to be on one of the search-and-rescue teams.

Edited 2012-10-08 16:38 (UTC)

I suspect I'm going to want X on one of the search and rescue teams, for Reasons.

Olivia is in like Flynn!

Enzo's here and/or on the final confrontation team.

Liz Sherman for search and rescue!

Pretty sure Wendy Watson for searching and rescuing!

Definitely stick Gene in this one. He's also available to bounce onto Jack's team if need be, as he'd certainly not shy away from confronting Slendy - I just don't know whether he'd be any use, not having magic power? But if you want him, he's there.

Charlie wants to be on search-and-rescue!

Sorry for the lateness, but Sariel would probably fit best as search and rescue.

Dani can be here and/or on Jack's team.

This is probably where Leela would be best suited to go. She could go to whichever one has fewer people at the moment - I don't have much preference, though if they have the same number, she's probably more accustomed to the forest.

Please comment to be on one of the forest teams.

And she is also in like Flynn here.

I think forest team makes the most sense for Will as well as for me as one of my other pups will be getting rescued.

Please comment here if you have other questions and things you want to discuss.

Two things!

1) Would it be possible to have one person bounce between two teams? I could see Olivia starting out on search-and-rescue and migrating toward chasing Slendy into the woods, or vice-versa; would that work, or should I just flip a coin? *g*

2) The Trickster's smartass moment: best for Jack's team, or better suited for the chasing-into-the-woods?

1) Yeah, absolutely. I'd like to have teams just so that we don't have twenty people waiting on one person to comment--instead having five or six threads going at once, so no one's left out or left hanging. But yeah, coming across another team and joining them sounds good to me. I don't really know how we're going to pull this off right now? but we'll figure it out.

2) I want that on Jack's team! Possibly because it made me laugh.

Rock on. :D Merci!

OOPS, I didn't screw things up by having Amascut knock his tree down?

Ack, I knew she would break things IT WAS A DECOY TREE! A DECOY!

We'll need to handwave she got the wrong tree.

No need for handwaving, I just deleted the two problem EP's. No other plot was involved, save for a very minor point that will be taken care of in an OOM sometime soon. Hurrah!

Thanks. Talk to me first next time, okay?
