The Verb It With Noun continuity presents a plot proposal
Summary: Milliways gets connected to the Darkness until the Door is locked allowing minor Heartless into the grounds outside the bar. Meanwhile several Princesses of Heart of their own canon, hanging out in Milliways - there will be no "Milliways Princess" are kidnapped for unknown reasons and need to be rescued.
Details:
•The plot begins with a post from a verbitwithnoun character that states only This World Has Been Connected.
•Shadow Heartless begin to appear on the grounds only after that. They will not enter the bar or be able to enter the bar. Ditto the stables although people fearing they could attack the horses is perfectly reasonable.
•The day after the world is connected four Princesses, chosen from OOC volunteers, disappear while outside – taken by the Heartless. The Princesses are not a Milliways Princess and there will be an application for the volunteers to describe why their character is a Princess in her own canon. Princesses of Heart are not always princesses in the traditional sense. Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and Alice from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland are both Princesses of Heart.
•Axel gives infodumps about what the Heartless are, what the meaning of the Princesses being kidnapped probably is, and states that they must be rescued.
•Four rescuers, chosen from OOC volunteers by the Princess players, will begin an OOM quest to get to Sleeping Beauty's world. This will take them through other Kingdom Hearts-universe worlds.
Princess Edit:
Mandas: Explain to me the Princesses bit... I'm assuming these are literal Princesses, or following KH where it's the pure of heart?
III: KH.
Mandas: Alright, but it's said that there are Princesses of their own canon vs. 'Milliways Princesses'... meaning being captured in their own canon has an influence on their own canon?
III: No, meaning that there won't be someone who is the Milliways Princess of Heart, like Belle is the Beast's Castle Princess, and Kairi is the Radiant Gardens Princess.
OOM Quest:
Demyx and Axel will be the Nobodies guiding the OOM portion of the plot. They will go with the Princess' champions. The champions will basically FORCE the door to go to the KH world, the volunteer Nobodies tagging along. The safest path they can manage, and with their pure intent, is the paths of light. This prevents the Nobodies from being able to give them any 'shortcuts' as they can't manipulate those, only walk them if someone else opens the way. The way of course will not be straightforward, they'll hit roughly three or four worlds before ending up in Sleeping Beauty's world. The Princesses are kept in stasis, safely asleep there. After the rescue, the Princesses will be able to open a path of light together that will take them all right back to Milliways safely.
Milliways Side of the Plot:
Knowing there are more Princesses to be had the Heartless will continue their assault. The Princess-muns will have the option of running some Heartless if they choose to so they aren't completely out of play for however long it takes. Xaldin + Xigbar + Volunteers will lead the fight back at home against the Heartless. People will be told to seek out the Door to Milliways – it will be unmistakable.
The Door will be posted by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sliceitwithwind after two weeks of the plot. Anyone can find it, but it will take a Keyblade Master to lock it. That won't make the Heartless vanish, but it will keep more from getting in, this making it a MANAGEABLE problem now. This happens about when the fight with Maleficent does, which is why she chooses to withdraw instead of continuing the fight. When the rescue team gets back they can help fight the Heartless, who will be dealt with by the end of plot.
NO hearts will be taken and NO nobodies will be made without EXTENSIVE talking with verbitwithnoun crew. We don't want anyone to permanently damage their character without realizing it because of us. Much like the Keyblade Master plot point it will take a unanimous vote from the verbitwithnoun muns to allow any character to be even temporarily a Nobody.
Unlike Nobodies, Heartless DO feel, but it is no less unsettling. They feel curiosity when faced with new situations, but other than that all that exists in them is deep consuming loneliness and HUNGER. There is no reasoning with them, there is no soothing them. They seek to drag all hearts into darkness with them.
WHAT IS THE MEASURE OF A HEART?
If your character can feel - AT ALL - they have a heart. it is more metaphysical than physical. A need, a dream, those count as well. Something that gives it sentience. The spark of the Transformers is their heart. Data (star trek) and Daneel (Robot Novels) would also count as having hearts, despite being artificial life. They're still LIFE. Pretty much unless your canon dictates explicitly that you don't have one at all, you do by KH standards. being a bad person or a sociopath is DIFFERENT. That is called a heart being consumed by or lost to darkness. The more darkness in a heart, the more the Heartless will be attracted to it. To a certain extent they might even seem to obey the dark hearts, but it's just a ruse to let your heart grow ever darker and be easier for them to consume it.
Summary v 2.0: Two week long bar-plot temporarily making the outdoors dangerous while volunteers go on an OOM rescue quest.
ETA Oct 16, 1.12am PST: Please vote with only one journal. We've had a couple of people vote with multiple journals and all but one of the votes from that person will be disregarded. One vote per mun, to keep things fair. Count as of this ETA is actually 22 to 11 with adjustment for multiple votes.
Poll is closed due to confusion. Please go here instead.
ETA Questions and Answers:
My character doesn't fight, and I don't understand what I'd get from having the Shadows out there, why can't there be more Princesses/Champions?
Could there be a gradually increasing number of Shadows instead of an initial swarm?
Labyrinth-mun speaks up on the Labyrinth.
Yes you can avoid the Shadows just as easily as you do the demon bunnies.
Keyblades and You: Why you still kick ass and take names and a Keyblade is just a tool.
You are not a Princess of Heart, necessarily; you just play one on TV.
