OOC discussion post

[underachievement]

Hi, game! Just a little OOC plotting/mingling post with regards to the ongoing Kilgrave saga. As with those threads, all are welcome and there's nothing vital to be missed in here for anyone uninterested. Unlike those threads, the post itself doesn't contain any content warning-worthy material but the comments might, so just continue to be as mindful and considerate as you have been so far.

I'm Pink, I play this mess and it's been a real trip so far going at 100x my usual speed. While trying to cover as much as possible, I kind of forgot that OOC posts existed, wholesale. Since I'm willingly hopeless at discord, all plotting has been taking place over plurk, which is the best place to get at me outside of this post (add or PP lungful). Prior to applying, the Kilgrave player (Pied at wildabyss) and I worked out his murder and public outing, and they posed the appropriate questions to the mods, but now we're pretty much flying by the seat of our pants. However there have been a few vague landmarks worked out:

- barring unforeseen circumstances, Kilgrave will be alive for the mod plot on the 31st
- Faith will remain under his influence after the 25th until sometime before the modplot. How she will escape is still up in the air though.
- Jessica is tallying the # of residents he can't affect and trying to ensure each house has at least 1. Covered so far: 7, 9, 10.
- Jessica will be raiding the hospital for sufentanil (a drug that knocks out his power) but won't find any for some time
- Jessica will be unable to approach Kilgrave due to his human insurance and would honestly love to have her killing monopoly taken away
- having reset, Kilgrave needs to be outed as back up and about, sighted via dashcam, etc
- Kilgrave can always use more victims as well as folks to willingly help him

I have intro log backtags to get to and am still responding to the network post, so it will be several days before putting up Jessica's log consisting of the hospital raid, any face to face discussions requested following the PSA, and a totally open boozy option that I have planned the least. Because of the delay, when it's up I'll shoot off a link to the log in an IC response to any characters who have already proposed a meeting.

Please use this post to discuss any and all things related to the above, Jessica Jones and/or Kilgrave (as Pied also contributed to it and will be in the comments to plot as well).

Yes, good, here are my current thoughts! Right now Kilgrave is hiding out with Faith, but he's already met a few different characters and at some point I'm sure someone will tell Jessica about them. (Let me know if you'd like that to be you!) I'd like Kilgrave to get found out so that he can post to the network about how Jessica is a lying liar who lies.

A couple of people have expressed interest in helping out and Kilgrave's network post could be a good starting point for you guys to interact with him if you want! And anyone else who's interested too.

It would also be great to discuss how House 10 and House 7 are going to react to him. Can he go back to House 10 without getting murdered?

Feel free to plot with me here or ping me on Plurk!

[twoaffirmations]

9S is super nosy, as you've noticed...! His main goal is for nobody to get hurt, really, and he's not sure if he believes Kilgrave or Jessica at the moment. He's kind of hoping Jessica is wrong?

Anyway, he definitely won't hurt or physical hinder Kilgrave in any way, but he's going to be sticking his nose in where it doesn't belong. I'm not even sure if he'd tell Jessica about him??? I mean, he might because of Faith following him around.

It kind of depends how their thread goes.

[kiljoy]

Yes, let's see how their thread goes and then I'll come back to this! Do you think 9S would warn Jessica?

[beguiledcard]

HI. i am still very interested in being involved somehow, if you still are.

since akira will someone who could be added to tally of folks unaffected. and man the woes of touchscreen.

[kiljoy]

I am! I was thinking that Kilgrave's upcoming network post would be a good opportunity for Akira to stick his nose in, if that sounds good to you!

[gotyourselfapilot]

Poe would be curious as to who the new housemate is at House 7. Try to get to know him. If anything he could be the one to notice that something seems weird/off about all of this.

[kiljoy]

They're hanging out at house 7 in Kilgrave's open post, would you like to tag in there? He could definitely realise that something is off!

[twoaffirmations]

So, following his thread with Kilgrave and the network post... 9S prob isn't going to tell Jessica anything. He just wants to question them both further!

[kiljoy]

That's fine!

[waffler]

I'm behind on Rey tags atm but definitely plan on having Rey say that she's going along with Jessica to the hospital to look for the drug that's needed!

I also just had Eleven encounter Kilgrave without knowing who he is in his log, but am not sure what interest she might be beyond that on Kilgrave's part. I'm researching more about what her biokinesis power actually can do, but she can definitely control the biological functions of other living things, which might create room to mess with things if it's a virus that makes Kilgrave's power work. So it's an option to toy around with depending on what you're looking for/were wanting! I know she's an OP little thing and don't want to step on any toes, so she can just be 13 and in the way until she finally understands to stay the hell away. Right now, she just wants to help and is stupidly determined.

[kiljoy]

Yes, I wanted to ask you if you had anything in particular in mind for how you'd like that thread to go? Obviously Kilgrave is interested because of her powers but he knows that's a double-edged sword. He'd try to manipulate her if he can. I've got a permissions post for Kilgrave, lemme know your thoughts on Kilgrave trying to use his mind control.

[twoaffirmations]

9S is really conflicted because he doesn't want to tattle on Kilgrave and get a human MURDERED, but at the same time...

He doesn't really trust Jessica either, so it kind of puts him in this weird middle ground where he just wants to observe the situation and try and figure out the truth for himself.

He's immune to the virus and in house 10 so it puts him in a pretty good position for anything.

[beguiledcard]

oh man i still feel a little bad for how akira is being.....

he is one of the unaffected though, so it'll be fun to see how he can get involved in all of this!

[iisupergirlii]

This is just a public notice that Kara would like everyone to get along. Can we please sing Kumbaya and BE OKAY WITH EACH OTHER???


(but also as far as her involvement goes, Kara is """"""aligned"""""" with Kilgrave in that she feels like 1. Jessica totes mcscrotes committed murder, and that's dangerous for everyone if she tries it again and makes noise. First time was pure luck that no one died. well, aside from the one. 2. if Kilgrave can do all this shit, Kara wants to keep him in her eyesight to make sure he doesn't hurt anyone.

Currently it's her choice to hang with him but uh. his powers totes work on her oopsie.

So, I guess if anyone wants to message and/or confront her? She will try SO HARD not to hurt anyone please don't make her use her powers. (I mean, please do but as far as Kara is concerned, PLEASE DON'T. WHAT POWERS.)

Also Frank, and now Jessica, know about her powers. So. Shittake.

[underachievement]

so mad at u, kara. SO. MAD.

[iisupergirlii]

PLEASE CAN EVERYONE JUST GET ALONG, JESSICA

[gimmesometassel]

Another resident of house 7 peering in here! An immune one, at that. Unsure how we'd like Carpet to be involved, but given Kilgrave will be living in there with them for a bit, it's pretty unlikely he wouldn't be. He'd probably also default to wanting to be friendly and helpful to a new housemate

If it matters, he also promised Jessica in her PSA post that he'd keep an eye out and for his housemates and look for anything that seemed out of place/uncharacteristic? His responses were entirely geared towards looking out for people, not addressing the matter of Kilgrave himself at all.

[kiljoy]

I just want Kilgrave to meet the flying carpet, man, that would be a trip. (...No pun intended.) We could do something on the log if you want?

[gimmesometassel]

Sure! What do you want to do? I've been assuming Carpet must've been somehow busy/preoccupied/just plain out of the house initially; the dining room is just off the kitchen, so there would've otherwise probably been a pretty high risk of Carpet seeing or hearing Faith and Kilgrave initially.

[rockypath]

So, I'm thinking there could be a couple ways that Faith can get away and out of the influence of Kilgrave.

Option 1: She dies and get reset somehow. This would probably mean she died because she was forced to fight someone and they killed her OR the more likely scenario (and more exciting) the fight and ensuing melee caused too much sound- and she get's done murdered hard by Sound Eaters however that may mean she takes some other people along with her.

Option 2: Someone powerful enough detains her or possibly a group effort to take her out. But it would have to be silent somehow. So maybe if during Jessica's hospital raid they find some tranquilizers or something to inject her with? It would have to be quite a lot to take her out, due to her being a Slayer. Also note, she can't leave Kilgrave's side unless he tells her she can.

I am totally open to other thoughts on this. Give me your ideas! :)

[iisupergirlii]

Feel free to lol no me but ugh man, option 2. Since boss man wants Kara to track Jessica anyway, what if Kara picks up some tranqs at the hospital while on jessica's trail? But Kara might be too in the shit for this to be plausible IDK but it's a thought!

[oorah]

Frank could figure it out and kidnap her until Kilgrave's influence wears off?? As an option. Since he's monitoring everyone from afar right now. If he can find a window to get her away from Kilgrave etc let me know what you think I could formulate a plaN

[priwen]

Hey there! I know our thread was super short (and I'm sorry for that) but I'm still up for doing something if you are?

Alex has a powerful healing spell that might purge the virus from her since it has purged poison from Houou's hands before. Also volunteering him for option 2 if you still need takers, since he's an accomplished warrior in his own right and a tank by specialty. He can take hits while other people do the heavy hitting.

Other than healing, he also deals in a particular class in his canon, the Dark Knight class. Its abilities are focused on the drawing of one's own inner emotions to break limits, such as a desire for revenge/vengeance etc if it's something you might be interested in?

Just let me know! I'm up for anything :)

[oorah]

Frank was influenced by Kilgrave when they first met (just to go away Frank stop being dramatic) and he also witnessed Jessica murdering him. Which in retrospect we decided he definitely didn't step in bc the "piss off" command was still in effect. He sided with Jessica immediately and is working from his weird garage dungeon to assemble people who might be able to help. Starting with Eleven, and telling them to stay far away from Kilgrave. If Frank spoke to your character on the intro log feel free to assume he told them to stay away from that guy and like described him and drew a rudementary picture etc.

Once he finds out where Kilgrave is, he will try to take action without being influenced so he wants to surround himself with people/androids/whoever who are immune now that Jessica has called them out. For now he isn't trying to build a huge resistance but just try to get his friends free one at a time so as not to tip himself off as a big conspirator of any kind.

OPEN TO BASICALLY ANYTHING including Frank eventually getting Kilgraved and/or killed by a Kilgraved individual since he is dumb af and will refuse to leave this situation alone. I want to hear everyone's thoughts!!! I am also better at plotting on plurk I am Ca and my handle there is ~ironmna

FORGOT TO MENTION HE IS ALSO MONITORING ALL PUBLIC COMMENTS ON JESSICA'S POST and is deliberately not responding so Kilgrave doesn't know he is. SO he may start inboxing certain people on there especially if you want him to! Ok I think that's it

[priwen]

Alex is moderately resistant to Kilgrave's influence and he's able to mildly perceive the emotions of people aronnd him, so he is already slightly suspicious of 'Robin and his girlfriend', however he's not confrontational and will not do much unless someone else prods him to. I have a volunteer in case anyone needs extra people or information.
