imperial_plots | A NEW PLOT APPEARS

So guys! As of the announcement that Bradley and Mitsunari are jointly taking over the Dagarian throne, the riots and stuff I have been mentioning for a while now will finally be going down in Rome! Basically the Roman Senate and the people are fed up with Nero not trying to take the throne, and this will result in riots. Nero will, much like a child sticking their fingers in their ears and humming loudly, be ignoring all this shit going on around her, and that will piss off a lot of people. A lot. Nero will eventually be forced to flee Rome so as not to be caught by assassins or mobs of angry citizens, and the leadership of the kingdom will quickly be snatched up by Garviel in an attempt to keep it away from the corrupt.

So here's a handy dandy little timeline of events!

- Tomorrow (5/14), Yukari will decide to take the task of forcing Nero to get her shit together into her own hands, and will spirit Eleuseus away, therefor robbing Nero of one of her closest allies.
- Nero takes to the crystals to inform everyone - through complaining about it of course - about the riots. There will be some bickering between her, Yukari, and Yuna.
- Shortly after, Yuna "suggests" to another Senator an assassination. The attempt will fail of course.
- Nero continues to ignore the rising unease in Rome, and a few days after her crystal post, Medea is spirited away as well.
- Another failed assassination attempt. This time it'll be clear that, at least in Nero's eyes, several people want her dead.
- Realizing that the entire Senate could very likely want her dead, Nero flees. On foot, not by waypoint; they could be expecting that, so once she's outside of Palatine, she'll be avoiding any really populated areas.
- Before fleeing, though, she issues one last order to Garviel: keep the throne of Rome away from any of the Senators. Take it himself if he must.
- After Nero's absconding, Medea and El are released from wherever Yukari had held them.
- Nero calls on the aid of her allies in Luna's Call, and makes her way to Camelot, where Arturia provides safe shelter.
- Arturia makes a public declaration that if anyone tries attacking Nero, they will be dealt with. Personally.
- Garviel takes control of Rome and El punishes all the Senators involved in the riots! G.... Good end?

Ideally, this should all happen by the time June rolls around, barring any unforseen circumstances or if anyone else thinks it should stretch out a little longer. So... questions? Comments? Anyone else want in on this?

Lancer is in Britain and stationed on the Roman border. He's probably gonna get caught up in the action at some point.

...And if he runs into Nero, he won't recognize her and will, in fact, flirt with her. Let's pray for his soul.

Yeah, Nero would not be in the mood for that. At all.

Buuuuut since some of the outposts are probably equipped with waypoints, she will probably be avoiding them at all costs.

Lancer is also trying to get in on the Crusade Company. Depending on what happens, he might get caught in the chaos with or without meeting the on-the-run Nero.

Any room for a certain MASKED VIGILANTE to help out here? Perhaps intercepting an assassin while she's on the run or something?

If he's going to be in the Roman capitol, sure! She's pretty much on her own until she can get outside of Palatine, so I'm sure someone will try to take advantage of that.

He is everywhere and he is nowhere. I'm just trying to get in more of Batman randomly saving people.

Because that's what he does.

Man, once Nero gets back into her normal state of mind, she's going to be irrationally frustrated that she owes a debt to a man running around in black tights pretending to be a bat.

So tacky, dude.

Like I said, in on Yuna provoking, and providing anything beyond normal human assassins if you'd like a little craziness. He could also just provide magical gear for them.

He'll try to distance himself from the senators with the justification of acting on orders when Garvi and El go after them.

Yeah, feel free to magically aid the first assassin any way you want, since Medea will be around for that one. The next one should probably be a bit more subtle if he aids them as well, so there won't be any suspicion cast on him.

Haha I have no call over what Garvi or El do, so all I will say is GOOD LUCK WITH THAT BRO.

JUST GONNA TELEPORT DON'T MIND ME

ARTY WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU, CUZ.

and i guess your strange pets you bring along. but does medea really have to watch her while she sleeps........

AND THAT IS WHY SHE'S THE BEST.

Don't worry, she's harmless! Just let Nero know if the heavy breathing keeps you up. She'll go put her lady on a leash if she has to.
