WAR TRAINING SESSION - post 10

Attack Reaction

The diversionary and attack posts have dropped to the list.  For the first
time, the Cousins know exactly what the Dark Perks have done to them--

Okay, guys, we've been attacked.  Or, rather, LaCroix's bust has been
attacked.  We should do a reaction post.  Anyone volunteering?

Subject: Re: Re: Post attack post

I'll write it.

We come back and find the bust done up.  Obviously, it's really close to
the party time, so we'll have to do a rush job of clean up.  All three of
us, before the others return, yes?

What if LaCroix comes to do a white glove inspection and catches us
cleaning up?

What about it, LT?  Is LC busy?

Better yet, why not have LaCroix come back after we've just finished
cleaning up and catch us even though we try to cover it up?  i.e.,  We're
guilty of dereliction of duty, but we DID manage to get it all cleaned up
in time and we have to take care of the payback?

No one's spoken for LC until DURING the party, so he'd probably show up
early to double check us and to change (Not even LaCroix is going to be
walking around Toronto in a toga if he can avoid it--and don't anybody
mention that anywhere or somebody will get an idea we don't want them to
have!).

Sure.  Ancient1, go ahead and write it up like that if you can.  And as
soon as possible, we've gotta get the reaction post up and start thinking
about revenge.

The reaction post has been assigned to a Cousin.  Since there are no other
affiliations involved, there's only permission from the Cousins to be
arranged and Ancient1 can do that on the loop.

You'll notice the idea of using LaCroix in the post.  Rather than a
starring role, he'll be given a cameo in which he'll order them to arrange
for a 'payback' for this indignity--that will be their punishment for going
off and watching Ben Hur instead of staying put and guarding the Cousin HQ.
 Nice work if you can get it.

* What if the Cousins wanted to use a character run by another affiliation?
 Then the Cousins would have had to ask permission to use Natalie, or Nick,
or Janette or Vachon, or Urs, or Screed.

Watch and see as Ancient 1 posts to the Cousin Loop.

I've dropped the post-attack reaction post to the loop.  Let me know what
you think.

Looks good.  Could you cut down on LaCroix's dialogue?  He can do more with
a raised eyebrow and a look than anybody else can do with three pages of
dialogue.

Really like the video camera idea--that makes revenge easier cause we can
nail the attackers.

Also, since LaCroix mentions Urs, let me double check that she's RSVPed for
the toga party.

It's okay by me.  Run it.

That's the snag--checking to see if another character will be available.
Since the Cousin Loop Leader (LTSCRUFFY) doesn't know about the RSVP's for
the party (maybe another Cousin is handling that and isn't on-line at the
moment), she decides to contact the head of the Urchins.

Has Urs RSVPed for the toga party?  Need to know ASAP. Thanks.

Subject: Re: Post attack post

Urs is busy somewhere else and can't attend the party.  We RSVPed already.
Sorry.
*************
%%%%%%%

So that's that--not only is Urs not available, the Urchins RSVPed so
LaCroix would know that Urs isn't going to be there.  The line about Urs
would have to be cut.

Now, onto the reaction post!
