Settle The Score | The Assassination of Fenix Down (Player Plot Open-Log)

[aelwyn_aberration]

Who: Aelwyn + Anyone Who Wants To Be Involved In This Assassination
When: April
Where: Around Gloucester, Springfield, the Circus, assorted other locations.
Summary: A murder is planned, executed, and staged. The details are yet to come.
Warnings: Discussions of murder, actual murder, blackmail, espionage, gaslighting, TBA.

[Several months ago, following the Circus' initial visit, Aelwyn was given permission to take down Fenix Down and his circus. Now, after more recent revelations about their unseen enemy, the plan has become a higher priority.

The plan is as follows. To ensure that this doesn't implicate ADI, a false cult will be created for this specific purpose. They'll keep the entity behind it vague, but one must be selected to ensure anyone paying enough attention would be able to identify it. They'll create conspiracy theories, fabricate old reports from decades ago to make it seem like this group is only recently being resurrected.

And then, with that done, they'll execute the plan itself. Staging the kidnapping and murder as if it was the act of that cult, and an extensive interrogation.

We're already deciding what makes a person guilty.

And I'm not advocating for mass murder. But what about the others he keeps close? We know Pyre has to be in with it, and if he keeps Penny and Roderick that close they're all probably at least aware. Trust me, I don't like this, I'm just trying to get the least amount of people hurt.

[aelwyn_aberration]

I think he beat us to the Pyre punch. He's missing. Nobody knows where he is.

Besides, I don't think he actually is "in with it." Poor idiot thought he could have superpowers and all he'd have to do is mildly spook people. But yes, Penny and Roderick will be dying too. Yelena had similar concerns.

[lowficharm]

Okay, see, I'm not crazy. Not great to hear about Pyre, though. Maybe if we're lucky he won't want to get revenge.

I don't want you to think I enjoy this or anything. I just don't want to see more people getting hurt.

[aelwyn_aberration]

If we're lucky, he'll be dead already.

Relax, Blackwood. I'm the one who came up with the assassination plan in the first place, if you advocated for mass murdering the entire circus and the whole crowd too, I wouldn't really have any room to judge.

[lowficharm]

People judge a lot when they don't really have the high ground to do so. But it's fine. I don't want to really dwell on that anyway.

Just be good to Jon, okay? You need to know something weird or sensitive, just ask me. I know you're the one who put him up to this.

[aelwyn_aberration]

Yes, sorry for interrupting your honeymoon. I'll give him back to you spick and span.

[lowficharm]

I don't own him, it's not like that.

But if he comes back and you hurt him you're going to have a lot more to be scared of from me. Got it?

[aelwyn_aberration]

[It's hard to really feel scared of Martin, but he's clearly not all he appears, so she can begrudgingly acknowledge the threat in his words as serious.]

He's not in any danger from me. I haven't forced him into anything.

Besides, this isn't a conversation to be had on the network.

[lowficharm]

I know. I'm not saying anything else. If I wanted to talk, I'd find you.

Just be careful. For all of our sakes.

[aelwyn_aberration]

[Behind her phone, she laughs. So now he's concerned for all their sakes. She wonders if he even believes his own bullshit.]

Of course. Our safety is a priority of mine.

probs wrapped unless you have more!

[lowficharm]

[Does he have to, really? Just needs to make him look like a concerned, well-meaning guy to anyone else looking at this. He knows Aelwyn has to know more if she got Jon onto this, so these words are far past being for them.]

Sure. No other reason to be doing this, after all.

See you then.
