END GAME PLAN!

[afterlifer]

Hello everyone!

Apologies for the extreme delay on this. Summer has been weird and made for odd schedules, plus occasional dragging of feet because afterliving is everyone here's baby. There were a couple of people interested in end game, so we decided that the best way to do it is to do it according to Accelerator and Yuri's plan (discussed in-game). Everyone who signed up was in the SSS or is Accelerator.

Before the plan can be enacted, the Programmer will have used a variation of Angel Player's cloning skill "Harmonics" to create mass clones of a number of students at the school, playing off of the Delay skill to force all of the clones consciousnesses to pile back into peoples' minds, forcing them into comas. This is where everyone except those who signed up for the end game will be- in comas.

At that point, it will be impossible not to make a move and Yuri will declare that anyone not in a coma needs to help her enact < Operation: FINAL BOSS >. The details of that operation are:

1. Ask Ai to create a back-up copy of herself and the Mysterious Boy NPC.
-The back-up copy will go to Mami, since she's always seemed like the most invested in protecting Ai and Yuri will trust her with it.
2. Ask Ai to create a virus that completely infects Angel Player.
3. Use Ai to lure the Programmer out as bait, then have her invoke the virus and destroy Angel Player temporarily.
-Destroying Angel Player temporarily will take out the Programmer's Guard Skills.
4. Capture the Programmer.

HOWEVER! Not all goes according to plan! The Programmer put a fail-safe into the Angel Player program after it was destroyed the first time and compounded by the virus. Destroying it turns all NPCs into shadows automatically and starts a countdown that completely time-freezes anything that is not located in the control room of Angel Player- not just aging and the passing days or the memories of the NPCs, everything. The remaining characters will be racing against both the clock and the Programmer to find the control room and figure out how to stop the program from time-locking everyone and making it impossible to save their friends. It'll be like freeze tag, but with weapons, some superpowers, and if you lose you get stuck forever.

That said, to give ample time to read this post, I will make a post with Yuri announcing the plan tomorrow and the log will go up on Tuesday, August 12th once I get off of work! That way people will be back from Otakon if anyone is gone there too. Feel free to use this post to ask any questions / plot!
