The Black Market Plan

[Toph]

So, our plan we thought up was to get everyone together through the Black Market. Here's how it goes:

The Black Market is going around, targeting people to humiliate/murder/harm to put in the newspaper. They'll blame every bad thing that happens to the Subterreans on the Royales, and everthing that happens to the Royales will supposedly be the Subterreans' fault. The reason they are doing this is because they want to spread animosity between the Royales and the Subterreans. They'll use that as their base to start their revolution, which could eventually overthrow the government. How they are working behind their agents' backs is that Adam, a class D agent, didn't know their plan, and Mr. Rodriguez, a class C agent, also didn't know their plan. (Any other agents that don't know about it, feel free to make yourselves known.) Only class A's, aka The Black Market Council Members, and a few select B's know the true plan.

Adam finds out that The Black Market is going behind the B and below agents' backs by accepting Quinn's job and using the money to bribe a class Bfor information. The class B gives Adam a list of the targets that will be played out in the next few weeks. (Here's where anyone can come in. YOU could be the next target ) Adam first rescues Felix, who would be accused of vandalism (the whole, 'they dirtied one of our own!' thing), but Adam convinces him to leave before it happens. (If you are a target, Adam could rescue YOU too! )

And this is as far as we've planned because there are some pretty big decisions to make. Do we want to start an all-out war/revolution with weapons and fighting and fairness for the people and such? Or do we want to defeat both the Black Market and the government? Or do we want to use assassins to take out the government?

We're open to any suggestions and brainstorming, and you don't have to follow our plan, or if you have a plan of your own, we could meld both plans together! There are exciting possibilities here!!!

That's what I was going with, with the whole kidnapping thing and Analise-to blaim the kidnapping of a Subterrean girl on a Royale group (hence the associated object and the 'make-over' comment, just for everyone's knowledge sake.

[Hwin]

This is a really rough idea...so not sure how it would work out. But what if they started having Royales and Subterreans mix in school, unstead of staying on seperate levels.
I'd just assume it would upset the Royales to have to spend study time with such a lowly class and Subterreans wouldn't like the idea of being in a room full of 'stuck up' Royales. And the kids would naturally tell their parents who wouldn't like the idea either....who would become more upset with the other class of people.

Well, its just an idea. Not sure how well it would work out. (:

[Toph]

I like that idea, Hwin. That way it forces the Royales to notice the big bad subterreans.

[Hwin]

Ok then. (: But how would we start it? The Subterrean kids having to study with Royales?

[Misty]

Probably some Royales can get notifications to go to classrooms downstairs, and some Subterreans can be told to go upstairs for some classes.

[Eya]

Ooooh! Idea! Ding-ding-ding!!!

What about its actually the Black Market who caught a whiff that Zylle's parents are making an extremely powerful weapon that they want to use? And that they pulled some strings on a politician to get the means to kidnap her parents and ransack her home?

Just thinking... ^_^

[Tinuviel]

Okay...I don't think that "Black Market" means what you think it means...maybe "Mafia" would be a bit more fitting? A Black Market is just selling things illegally. But then, I might just be studying to hard for my econ exam tomorrow. Your choice (:

[Lithium]

Black Market is good name for a rebellion, but a black market in actuality is a place that sells stolen or contraband items.

I volunteer Quinn for kicknapping and Camri for class A agent. Its the kind of thing that Camri would do, lol.

Quinn could be held for a ransom? Her daddy is not around much, but he is a politician and such. Maybe? QUINN IS EXCITED FOR ADAM TO TAKE THE JOB!!!

[Toph]

Eya, I didn't know Zylle had parents. What sort of work do they do?

Tinuviel, I did know what it means and there really is a market selling illegal items for subterreans such as guns, computers, cell phones, ect. So far, we have been using 'The Black Market' as a general term for everything to do with the market, but it's actually a term for the leaders of the illegal market, though properly said they're The Black Market Council. The Council hires agents to control much of the world's happenings. I realize the last fact still sounds a lot like some assassins group or something, but since the illegal item-selling and the political movements are a joined force, it was either call them The Black Market Council or The Mafia Council. Frankly, I like Black Market better.

Lithium, the Black Market isn't into ransoming for themselves, but they could have easily bribed some subterreans to ransom Quinn. Let's do it! I'm thinking after Ri moves in, when Quinn is kidnapped Ri can a)get in the way and either get kidnapped too or just beat up, or b)not even know about it until later.
Since I'm trying to get all the characters together, Adam could save Quinn and help her go into hiding.
What do you think?

[Misty]

They've been making a "secret weapon". Must have been kidnapped though.

Just because the council is called the Black Market Council doesn't mean they need restrictive rules. It just means their main cover-up, as evil still as it is, is marketing blackness. It's not like criminals have rules for what not to do unless its laws amongst themselves.

[Tinuviel]

Yeah...sorry about that. My econ final and studying brain was definitely making me a bit more persnickety. I wasn't trying to criticize the name or the plan.

[Misty]

It's good to be critical about tiny facts ;P Makes the story add up.

[Eya]

Heh, sorry guys that I haven't been quite active. Exam week is coming up and I'm preparing for it.

So basically, Mr. and Mrs. Wolfers are making nanobots, tiny cell sized robots which can, when taken in significantly high amounts, turn a person into a cyborg, which are connected as one body to form the Omnimute. The nanobots, when they are progammed together can become the Omnimute. "Omni" means "many" in Latin, whilst "muta" means "change". And the ability of the Omnimute is to transform a person into and have the characteristics of almost anything. Except God, of course. The downfall is that there is always a near-fatal weakness. The Omnimute can transform you into any person, thing, animal, mythological creature, cartoon characters, etc..... The imagination is the limit. The nanobots require a special generator invisible-when-worn collar to order to work well, or else they will take their energy from the body reserves, which can be very dangerous. The Omnimute is like a human of its own but it doesn't have a spirit, meaning that when it gets completely destroyed, it doesn't go to heaven. The mom's a chemist and the dad's a nanotechnologist.

The Black Market Council found out about it. (But I don't know how, you can make something up.) But all they knew was that the Wolfers have something powerful, speculatively a weapon, in their hands and they don't want just anyone to know about it. Of course, the "weapon" would be very useful for the Council.

[Eya]

Oh, and the Omnimute right now is in a prototype stage, making it very limited and extremely unpredictable.

[Misty]

To be honest, this plot seems very complicated, doesn't quite have anything to do with the standing one, and doesn't appear to have too much of a purpose. The standing plot is to overhthrow the "all are equal" non-changing government that actually makes it so that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer to bring equality to the nation. The Black Market knows that the goverment is doing nothing and hopes to smuggle weapons and such (which are illegal) for the Subterreans so that they can defend themselves and frame actions from Subterrean to Royale to start a war to force the goverment to take action. Just as a question for the interview for your new plot, how would the nanobots benefit this plot?

[Eya]

Ah okay... I misunderstood what the Black Market was. Well, the nanobots could be what gives the weaker party a higher ability in the plot. The weapon which would be able to push the win on off the edge of the knife. I was thinking that anyone who gains Zylle's confidence would be able to obtain it.

My plot was for Zylle to get her parents back and the Prof's (a guy who will be Zylle's mentor) goal is to turn Zylle into a omnihero which he believes One-Na really needs. But now I was thinking maybe that during her goal she finds a bigger one and is pulled into the Black Market.

I can drop the whole Omnimute thing if you like. =]

[Eya]

If you don't mind, I'll wait for your answer, Misty, before I continue Zylle's story.

[Misty]

Well, I'm just kinda wondering where our Web Master is... I'm thinking perhaps there could be a few, maybe three, that our group could get their hands on once all our characters get together (forced by the Black Markets plotting)... The plot isn't quite clear to me even as far as getting all our characters together, so I'm kinda wading through mud.

[Eya]

Pardonez moi for having a slightly thick head, but 'a few, maybe three' what? =]

[Toph]

I'm not exactly sure how too get alll our characters together, there's about twenty, right? If Felix escapes with Adam, maybe Odette would come...? Ri and Quinn could be targeted because of Ri's history, it makes her a perfect example if she's humiliated. So if they go back with Adam, that makes five together. It's a start. I guess you guys could plan a getting together of your other characters and then eventually we'll join groups. I can suggest things if you want, but i don't really know your characters' situations enough to come up with anything completely tangible :3

[Eya]

Erm... guys, I was just thinking. Maybe the Omnimute thing is just tooooo much. What do you think? Should I just scrap it out altogether? It might just complicate things here.

[Toph]

Maybe you could partially do it. Like make Zylle the final (and only living) 'failed' attempt. It seems a bit much to have to research ongoing, but if it were a thing of the past and only Zylle now knows it still exists... idk. Just a brainstorm

[Eya]

Oh!!! Ding ding ding IDEA!!! Thank you thank you thank you Toph! *scampers off to write it down*

[Lithium]

Hey Guys!
So, just to let you guys know, I am approving this idea and I think that Toph has a very good contribution. I think that this will mix it up and bit and create a bit more conflict and potentially more of a "risk-factor" for our characters to obtain the Omnimute.
