Plot/Event - Confronting A Cupid, Are You In?

[heartofthedream]

Tossing up a post on this because I know a few people are interested in blowing in on this Vegas Strip Voyeur of Love, and I'd love to get together with people on it.

Jean has a lot of personal hot seat buttons with self-erasure forced on people, the manipulations of their emotions, overwriting who they are, how they are, what their own choices would be to the point of being just an apparent shell of their authentic self.

Jean is down to confront a God on all these things and try to get this to stop. If she has to take her on a God, she will, but she's also open to other options before things need to get that drastic (because she'd rather not attack a God somewhere she's not sure The Five can bring her back; but she also will not let this stand).

I am willing to help arrange and/or would LOVE to sign Jean up if people already have plans.
Drop any of your thoughts below, and let's light a fire under Cupid's Ass instead.

Ulari's plans are to just knock on the door and see how Cupid handles that. He's not nearly as concerned about the goings on (or so he would say), but wants to know what the plans are and what Cupid wants out of all of this. So he'll just be walking up and wanting to start a conversation.

Ulari's idea totally sounds like a great place to start. Especially post-Cerberus/the lovely Kamala & our heroes getting to see already that sometimes the worst of things here don't have to be taken down in an immediately violent fashion.

Jean would totally be willing to hang back behind/beside him, if he's okay with the company, and hear this answer before anything else drastic needed to be considered first.

[seenicroute]

As Ulari doesn't really have means of protecting himself, he would be very much okay with someone tagging along as the muscle haha.

Also he has the ability to find out information through touching objects so that could come in handy once inside the mansion.

[heartofthedream]

Yeah. Jean can help with that. Occasionally.

Also, the touching-things power is always cool!

Balthier is pretty wary of gods meddling with people. He'd support an effort to reach out diplomatically before doing anything that might cause conflict. He has dealt with gods, and with high power diplomats/leaders and is a smooth talker.

He also likes nice things and absolutely wants a chance to swipe any magical items if the opportunity presents, or scope them for future purposes.

Happy to have him organize or tag along with others. He's a leader type but he's new here and not great at tech yet.

[seenicroute]

If someone else wants to be the leader, Ulari will more than let them! He's more the type to do his own thing but if he's working with a group he'll do his thing within the lines of whatever the group is doing. Which also means trying to get information where he can and seeing who he can work well with later.

Peter is doing a solo run to confront Eros because he's a dumb kid who doesn't think to involve other people in his problems easily |D
He's going to go in via rooftop and get stuck in a chimney and have a convo with Eros that way. Maybe he'll learn not to do things solo this way but probably not

[heartofthedream]

Oh, Peter. Honey child. That is not the way.
Not that any of it is helping people think straight.

[tinglesense]

He's in a hard place mentally/emotionally to start with and then the whole ~EMOTIONS~ thing from Eros? It's not a good time to make decisions! (Also okay I admit it was too funny to NOT get him stuck in a chimney)

But he's never been part of formal team things really so it's not the first thing he thinks about doing; it just didn't occur to him to coordinate. Once he realised he kept seeing the same dude in the background, he just was like YO HOLD UP

Plus teenager!

(Spider stuck in the floo is quite amusing)
