[glow=red,2,300]We plan on this board, then when it's time to start the mystery up, we clean out our plans, but leave whichever threads of import up here. ^_^ e.g. if there was a rule thread or story thread that I wanted to show you guys before the general public could see, I could post it here, get your yea or nay, and when what's time for what, leave it up here when this board opens.
OK, now as for my outline, I posted it as a general guide. I want you guys to tear it apart and modify it until it's unrecognizable. If people want to swap places or throw more clues, don't let me stop you by any means. ^_^
The locations are the things that I'm really not sure about. I want the locations to be more significant than they are, but I don't know what the heck I'm doing. ^_^
First: Earthquake, deaths of Ducky and Bude (FE) Sev’s mind-control
Second: Sev’s mind-control cont. (arguing, bickering, etc.), Lycos nearly killed. (SB) Mindy killed. (SB) Rider wakes up with a leopard-skin jacket. Lycos remembers red cloth (cape?) covering her face.
Third: Wandy’s sleepwalking, knife stuck point-first into ground by Stal’s bed, a warning from Kyubi. Tracy killed. (PP) Wandy in OT at the time… right?
Fourth: Stal gets really mad and explodes at Spot. Spot nearly killed with ninja weaponry. (SB) Lycos keeping close eye on Stal, Spot and Chelsey. Crystal claims ownership of the ninja weapon. Severed tie with Sev taking toll on Ikkin.
Fifth: Nimras killed. (OT) Crystal killed, no body found. (AS) Ikkin found at AS, scene of crime, kicking wall and screaming senselessly.
Sixth: Spot and Meowth killed. (SB) Wandy’s hat found at scene of crime, perched on head of leopard-rug.
Seventh: Finale. Ikkin goes completely MIA. Rider convinced that Wanderer is responsible; Ikkin still alive. Lycos tracks Stal down in OT, pounces and tries to rip his throat out. Tranquilized. Ikkin finds secret passage to MS, finds Crystal’s body. Snaps.
Whatever happens next is in the air.[/glow]

When I get killed, could there be something in my cheese graters ... um.. grater to point at the murderer? Either a red herring or a true clue. Either would be fun. ;D

Maybe we should try to figure out what to do with the ending, then tear apart the rest? Really, how do we want to end this? With everyone still dead? Or with a big deux ex machina in which everyone comes back to life? (Or, perhaps, a possibility of either, depending on the members participating? j>  ) One little thing with Rider's plan... we'd need more clues pointing to Stal. There's plenty of red herrings, but not much in the way of clues pointing to the actual murderer... though, the real clues would probably be smaller things, and not quite so obvious. As for the tie with Sev... as I'd mentioned, it might be best if it weren't actually severed, but fraying gradually as Sev becomes disobedient and disrespectful towards me. It would be better for the gradual decline, and make it possible for a happy ending if the mind control is removed and we want to go that way. *wonders if it would be easier if she tells about how she imagines the Sev connection, so people could understand her pickiness a bit more* |

Can Sev get sick?
Like.... Sev had some kind of illness that made him start to loose his connection with Ikkin, and made him irritable, then made him snap and kill the people who made him angry when he looses control.
*tries to think of an example* Say, Ducky and Bude were doing something loud, and it hurt his head, and they wouldn't shut up... so he whacked them?
Then we can have them figure it out early, and the end be a race to make a cure for Sev before he kills anyone else. Then when you do make the cure, he can bring everyone back?

Just a random thought that I had in regards to Sev and removing the healing tie: The tabloid shop generally has to go on missions to restock its supply of phoenix down. Now, Lycos is trying to create new weapons and spells for the shop all the time. Suppose she created an ice spell, and asked Spot to test-use it on one of these missions to retrieve phoenix down from Sev. What if the ice spell went horribly wrong, and temporarily damaged the healing properties of Sev's feathers, as well as irritating him greatly? It would also make Lycos and/or Spot look more suspicious. Not that Lycos needs help with that, but ... ^^ |

I like it. ^_^ It gets rid of the Phoenix Down problem, which I think most of us had forgotten about, and means that Sev's refusal to heal anyone takes away the last of the methods of healing (since, it's not really his feathers that let him heal people). And, we get to annoy Sev even more, which helps, too... |

When I said sickness, I meant more of a mental illness than ... the flu for example. Though he could have physical symptoms too. (Aww, poor little birdie is sick, he couldn't hurt anything! *coos* )
So in the beginning, Sev is just irritable (which from I understand could be considered normal for him) and it leads into paranoia or something. It could also explain why he can't heal throughout the plot - he can't focus enough. Until he snaps, when his abilities are completely out of control. (Die! *hiss* )
Couldn't delusion and dementia also explain an eroding bond?
Meh, I'm trying to explain, but I'm afraid it's not coming out too well.

[glow=red,2,300]The illness would have to be Kyubi-related. Because if Sev randomly got sick just as we need him most... that'd be ironic. Very funny, though. XD
The ending has to be happy. Because we're like Disney, only dumber. ^_^
Bude, you and Duckey get murdered together. You don't die in the earthquake. XD I'll be sure to add in the love scene.
If there's any special way you want to die, post it now. ^_^ Should these all be comical and stupid, or what?[/glow]

I think we need an entirely made up mental illness. Maybe something that makes people irritable and moody, but has a slightly stronger impact on Sev, due to not being human. We could EVEN broadcast it as a radio transmission very subtley near the start, so people begin to get the hint. Maybe a few mods also catch it. We could also add a side affect so it's easier to spot... like bad cold, faded looking eyes, a weird rash on the back of the hand, that kind of thing. And Stal wears sunglasses too, right? ^_^ Long, hand concealing trenchcoat... a hankerchief? >> |

Also, can someone write a detailed description of all the associate entities (Like Lycos, Sev etc.) and their physicality and connection with their "creator" as it were. Basically, everything possible. It's quite hard to plot around characters you only have the vaguest of ideas about XD
