[OOC][PLOT] The Fifth Thread of Planning for Arc 1 - Arrivals
RE: [OOC][PLOT] The Fifth Thread of Planning for Arc 1 - Arrivals
#91
Halloween Party story release deadline: D-41 days

Scenes that still need to be written and other work that needs to be done, in order:


Mamoru, Chibi-Usa, Artemis, Luna, and Diana turning up at the Westwoods doorstep (possibly on their own, possibly brought by Sasami, Chidori, or both, possibly some other way). And are Hotaru and Setsuna with them, or are they still hiding in a bolthole with the opening pulled in behind them?
BA: "I'm going to need to throw in a few smaller bits myself - namely Ben conceiving the idea and pitching it to his residents before pitching it to the other apartment managers."
Rob: Maybe Mamoru &c. showing up is why Ben decides to hold a party?
Selling the party to the San Antonio displacees.
Inviting Dublin, LA, Montreal, and Pensacola, not necessarily in alphabetical order. (Inviting Ottawa already has a stub, and can go in the middle of the list if desired.)


When does Brent buy Tomo that pen?


The San Antonio displacees show off their costumes to each other before everyone else arrives.


The first place that the trick-or-treaters stop at is... whose house? We need a short scene to establish not everything that happens this night is weird or earth-shaking, and to establish what sort of neighborhood they're trick-or-treating in.


Brent, Ben and the other trick-or-treaters have a small window of opportunity to say hello to the Megami and Keiichi.


Nanoha and Fate arrive.


Sakura and Shaoran are both electric magic users. They'd probably both appreciate a demonstration of things you can do with electricity from people who are better at it. ("V!" Electricity ran up Mikoto's fingers as if they were a Jacob's Ladder.)


Sakura would be happy to learn magic from anyone, and she's a quick learner. Minako becoming interested in Rin's gem magic.


Mikoto and Sosuke express an interest in going up against each other in a mock combat. They ask "why not now?" Ben vetoes doing it outside where the neighbors can hear explosions and lightning bolts, Rob vetoes live ammo, Washuu offers a holosuite "danger room". (Rob has notes for this on the wiki, but has trouble writing fight scenes. This is the "Even if it kills me" scene.)


Mao, Urd, Mihoshi, Ryoko, and Jayne polishing off a case keg of beer between them, once the youngsters are asleep.


Inara and Sylvie sharing pointers in her private chambers



And some vignettes to break up the longer scenes - the current draft asks for 12 during the party, 8 during the grown-ups-only after-party, and 4 the morning after.
