THE EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLING OF FENIX DOWN | PLAYER PLOT

Aelwyn has been tasked with developing a plan to kidnap and assassinate Fenix Down and his circus after a conversation with Nia Lehrer authorizing this, provided she makes it impossible to trace back to ADI.

She’s going to be asking for help with this, but importantly she’s absolutely NOT going to reveal this to the network at large, because she doesn’t trust people to not give her speeches about cringe shit like “Murder is wrong!”, “Kidnapping is wrong!”, “What the fuck!”, and other assorted hot takes. OOCly, I’d also prefer not to have it leaked. Arguments about the ethics of it are fine, though!

Her plan revolves around fabricating a false cult based around The Dark called the Shadowcats, based upon her own experiences with working for a spooky shadow cat named Kalina. She wants to create numerous false flag incidents to back them up and make it seem like an on-the-rise organization with a grudge against Fenix’ circus. From there, they’ll kidnap Fenix Down, get as much information from him as humanly possible, and then stage his murder elaborately. The amount of answers they get from Fenix Down is dependent on the amount of players.

They’re going to be in regular contact with Nia and overseen by Austin, a senior agent at the ADI, who will ensure they’re not using powers. They can get around him if they try really hard, but he's good at his job.

This will naturally have consequences of various kinds depending on how it shapes up, but I’m absolutely down for any further additions people have in mind if they want to get involved! Listed consequences include:

- Burns (1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree are all options) - All troupe members can inflict these
- Chronic pain (it would be up to the player the specific location and nature/degree of what this is, but it should be something that would present a potential disruption to their life/activities they enjoy) - Fenix can inflict this
- Temporary (or permanent) vision or hearing loss - Roderick and Penny can inflict these if they're engaged.
- Capture and torture (and eventual release as a potential trade for Fenix) by one of the other avatars in Fenix's troupe.

Aelwyn, for one, is going to come out of this much more heavily marked by the Desolation, and with a brand new book to experiment with too.

Just make sure the media team knows which direction you land, so they can get the cult's history in place and brainstorm menacing cult names!
