Kairi always gets kidnapped, magn.

[ohnodonald]

... but it works!

So, as far as I know, this is the general whiff of how things are going:

• Avan meets Kairi
  
• Mickey and Donald get to Destiny Islands
  
• Avan kidnaps Kairi, which MD see and proceed to chase after him
  
• Avan takes Kairi to another world, dumps her someplace
  
• MD arrive in that world, but lose sight of Avan. They find Sora, though! MD fill Sora in on what just happened, and Sora reacts... somehow. *shrugs* :3
  
• SOMETHING HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE, BUT...
  
• Avan bumps into Sora (without Kairi) and they have a little chit chat. Avan somehow discovers the connection between Sora and Kairi, freaks out, and suddenly needs to leave to get the freak on out of there.
  
• As he's escaping, DM spot him, and run to Sora, being all "That's the guy!"
  
• Meanwhile, to be decided by Kairi, she either finds a way out of where ever she was dumped, and sees Sora from a distance, and then Avan takes her visibly. Or~
  
• Avan just takes her and leaves and Sora is pissed either way.
  
  

I was talking to Kairi, and we were thinking this could all be in Radiant Garden. And that maybe we have an FF character stumble across Kairi, just so she isn't idle the entire time or just talking to herself. :3 Either way, Avan's gonna 'nap her in the end, and the chase will continue with more people in the hunt.

And maybe it'll then go to Wonderland~ :O But that's much later on. :3

Thoughts on having a thread between Avan and Sora before he steals Kairi away from Destiny Islands? That way, they have established somewhat of a casual relationship, and makes their reunited scene after he takes Kairi have a little more dynamic (and something for Sora to do in the meantime without rushing things! :3).

The post order is definitely going to be complicated, and most likely the characters will be in different locations throughout in relation to each other, but that's something that we can denote in our posts.

asdlfkdf, YES THIS IS PERFECT.

I know Xion and I were discussing having Avan and Zana meet up at some point after he kidnapped Kairi. Because she's neutral she'd sway from side to side for a little while, and maybe when she meets Avan he could convince her that he had a good reason for taking Kairi (he'd probably lie and say he's protecting her from the darkness).

And we need to figure out what to do when they all catch Avan. Can't have them kill him. Yet. >-> (Maybe seriously injured, that's fine with me.) He needs an opportunity to come back. What kind of villain would he be if he couldn't come back again? O:

I also think it'd be a good idea if Sora and Avan became friends before the whole kidnapping-- Not only would it make the realization hit ten times harder, but it'd also make Sora more angry, possibly leading to him giving into darkness a little bit in his panic to get Kairi back? Meanwhile Donald and Mickey will be trying to keep him calm while they're trying to track Avan down, too.

When I have enough time to get my Riku app done, I'll definitely think of a way to throw him in the mix, too.

[ohnodonald]

Sounds good! Whatever works with you guys. :3

So, Avan would arrive in some world with Kairi, bump into Zana, and convince her to keep an eye on her until he gets back? And when Avan leaves, he bumps into Sora, and they have their little chit chat before Avan puts two and two together and realizes he needs to split.

We could just have Avan make a very narrow escape, however injured he may be. If we choose to go that route, then he could probably easily befriend someone else who stumbles upon him, seeing that he's probably all tattered and what have you. And the plot thickens~

And personally, I don't think we'd want the original trio (Sora, Kairi, and Riku) to be reunited so early on in the plot -- because then well... where's the fun in that? But again, it's up to you! Think Kairi told me about how Em suggested Riku should go around on his own contemplating this odd tickling darkness -- think that's pretty sweet.

He may want to bump into a HoD or an Org member, to feel more conflicted, but who knows!

[noctis]

Yes, that's a good point. D: Maybe Riku could see Kairi being taken? Then he'd go his own path trying to save her. Don't know how well that would work out, though. That, and I need to get off my butt and do his app.

I think Avan should bump into someone who's already met Sora and has a grudge against him. Possibly Marly? Because I'd imagine he'd still be out to get Sora and would be willing to help him out once he know his plan. Then him, Avan and Zana would be a 'team' while it's Sora, Donald and Mickey.

[kai]

Well I can't say much here, since my part in this is pretty much already determined. XD

But I was thinking that Kairi could probably escape for a few moments, just as Avan realizes that she knows Sora. She could probably see him for a second, but is carried off by Avan before she can even try to attempt to escape.

Another thing I just thought of is that Kairi has a Keyblade, now. O: Maybe when Avan gets her away from Sora she fights back now that she knows where he is? I'm not sure how well that will play out if Zana and another character is there, but it's just a suggestion. =D

[ohnodonald]

I like!

I'ma wait to hear a bit from My Majesty and Sora before I say anything more. I feel like I'm talking too much. x]

[Sora]

Finally posting here~
Sorry it took so long btw. D:

I would love for Avan and Sora to befriend. Would make the drama a billion times more awesome, but with Sora seeing Namine being shot by Avan, I have no idea how that would even happen. D: Not to mention Avan would recognize Sora, even though he might not think he's much of threat since they haven't actually fought yet. The only thing I can really think of is to skip that altogether... unless somebody else has got a plan around this?

Gosh. The idea of Sora losing himself to a bit of darkness sounds awesome to me, but I'd have to be really careful to keep everything canon and all that. It would make sense though... since right now Sora's all down in the dumps because nothing good's going for him. He's not pure, just very strong willed, so it can happen. If he saw Kairi getting hurt, or he's led to believe she's been killed, than I could definitely see it happening. O:

By the way, wondering what Mickey, Donald and Sora will do in the mean time... Or how they'll figure out where Avan and Kairi are. Maybe~ Sora could be in Disney Town whenever Mickey and Donald find him? (So many question~) I think that's what had been planned before. O: Plus it would make things easier on MD with finding Sora.

Also, what about Riku? o: Will he happen to stumble upon Kairi or... something? xD

Hopefully I didn't get anything confused-- 'cause I did before. xD So much happening~

[ohnodonald]

That is a very good point, Sora. Can't see how we all missed it before. x] I can't see a way around it -- does anyone else?

I know Mickey's been scurrying about busy with stuff -- hoping this thread will serve it's purpose in filling her in with everything. All that we had planned was to get to Destiny Islands to pick up Kairi. Technically we should be good, if we're chasing after her. As far as what they'll do once they bump into Sora, look for Kairi I suppose, no? Kairi mentioned earlier that she'd like to find an escape, and maybe find Sora, and then Avan snatches her. All coincidental and the like. Think The King and Donald would probably coincidentally run into Sora as well; if it's through the main street of Disney Town, then that's great. Pretty big, clear pathway. Hard to miss spikey haired kids.

As far as Riku goes... I do still think that the three -- Sora, Kairi, and Riku -- should be pretty separated so early in. So maybe Riku is in a different world altogether (I heard he's battling the tickling darkness within him). Once Avan takes Kairi again before Sora's eyes, maybe he could hop into whatever world Riku happens to be in. And who knows where Riku stands then, or how stable he is.

And maybe an Org member will pop into the picture.

Who knows!

Just a thought!

*is an Org. member*

I wouldn't mind getting involved, if it's okay with you guys. :3 I like where this is going.

[kingmickey]

Finally I have time to read and post here thankful for spring break. I pretty much agree what you all are saying actually xD but maybe with Riku gone we can tie that in with the site's plot as well since he's in the darkness again. I dunno maybe somewhere in the middle Mickey can decide to go search for Riku like after they fill Sora in on what happen and Sora tells them he hasn't seen Riku in a while :3 yup I think that could work

Perhaps the areas could go as followed

• Disney Town (this is where me and Donald are right now)
  
• Destiny Islands (We see Avan kidnap Kairi)...hmm maybe Kairi could yell at them where Sora has went to clear his mind and the two decide on whether or not to follow Kairi or go look for Sora
  
• Radiant Garden (uh..Kairi is dumped here? Pretty much they followed her XD but wait! Sora is here for some strange reason....)
  

....Then he takes her to some other world which I'm not so sure of at the moment :/

Yes Xaldin that'll do perfect since Mickey was worried about the possible rise of the Organization and by seeing you he'll freak out x] Gah I'm sure more ideas are sure to come to me later

[ohnodonald]

So, I think a few questions we need to answer are the following:

1. Is Riku going to be knowledgeable that Kairi gets kidnapped? Or is he already in a completely different world trying to figure himself out?

2. Should the King and Donald take her advice and try and find Sora right after she gets kidnapped? If they do, then Kairi and Avan can have their own thread together, and Donald and Mickey can have their own thread together. It'd cut down on size a bunch. What could probably happen that way is that Avan can recruit a Neutral in that time, and MD can do... their own thing. Hrmm... actually (although this may seem counterproductive) they might want to go back to Disney Town, since their better technologies are over there. They could pick up Sora on the way (and end up splitting up again for whatever reason -- Sora runs off for Kairi, but Mickey wants to investigate Org stuff).

I'm actually kind of digging this idea a bit. It sounds less hectic, would allow for more active activity, and could still work.

And they could always congregate in a thread in the future for Sora to finally spot Kairi. It'd give us good spacing as far as not having the main heroes see each other again too soon, too.
Great input, Mickey -- what do people think?

Just realized that MD probably won't know which world Avan is hopping to, too. Mmm~

And Xaldin -- hop on aboard! What do you think Xaldin would like to do/what role he'd play in this plot?

[Xaldin]

Umm...lemme think...have Kairi get free then be captured by Xaldin? xD

Or maybe he could try and help her away from Avan, then keep her away from Sora? I dunno. :/

[ohnodonald]

Haha, poor Kairi to get kidnapped over and over again. Humm...

Definitely could work as a manipulative character. His whole thing is to get people to feed into the darkness within them, no? Could bother Riku a bit, maybe even Avan. Who knows!

[Sora]

I'm liking the way it's all being organized. All the planned areas are making sense... except for possibly Radiant Garden~
Then again, we could always go on the fact that Radiant Garden is a main world anyway, a world that has many people on MDSs' side. It would make sense for the trio to go there first.

We could always make MDS go to a different world first~ but that seems a little pointless... And would make things longer than they have to be. We could always set up some kind of clue or hint that Avan and Kairi are going to that world, but I'm clueless as to what we could set up.

It'd be awesome for Xaldin to recapture Kairi. xD Especially since he can be so diabolical and manipulative. I could just see Kairi almost escaping, Sora helping and nearly saving her, and then Xaldin just stealing her away like it's easy as cake. -shot'd-

I have another idea, but I don't know about it, and I might be getting a little ahead of myself~
I was wondering how we could incorporate Riku into this. If Sora meets up with him, he's going to cling to Riku as if his life depended on it, so I don't know how they would separate again (Unless... they aren't meant to separate after meeting up?). I was also wondering how I would introduce Lightning (if and when she gets accepted) ... So I thought that maybe Lightning and Riku could meet, and Riku could get a glimpse through a portal of Lightning's making and see a struggling Kairi with Avan. Then... just as Riku is about to rashly enter the portal, Lightning's power gives and she loses the ability to create portals for a bit. That could let Riku know about Kairi's situation?

I gave Lightning the ability to use portals, a power given to her by the fal'Cie, so she can travel. I didn't want to give her a Gummi Ship... for some reason. xD Also, Lightning isn't very experienced with this new power of hers, so it may give out on her from time to time. -- But I have no idea what the staff is going to think of Lightning's new form of travel, so this idea is iffy until she's accepted.

Soo~... Yes? No? Plot holes? =D
Mickey mentioned that he could go search for Riku... and maybe fill him in on what's been happening? If Mickey leaves Riku, then I think this idea could still apply, right? ;; If not... then I guess forget this idea of mine. O:

[noctis]

Because I'm totally not late with this, or anything. >->

OKAYSO. Let me just make sure I have everything straight before I toss in some ideas, correct me if I'm wrong:

Avan kidnaps Kairi.
D&M see him taking her, and just before she's gone she tell them where Sora is.
They find Sora, and tell him that Kairi was taken.
Avan takes Kairi to worldtobefiguredout, where he finds neutral (Zana?), and cons them into being on his side.
DMS are in worldtobefiguredout, trying to get a clue as to where Kairi is.
They somehow find out where she is, and (I don't know if we decided to get rid of this or not) Sora recognizes Avan because he was at the Castle of Dreams when Naminé got shot. So he knows what he's capable of, and that starts the chase.

Anddd then that's where I get lost. XD I keep getting my ideas mixed up with everything else.

I do like the idea of Xaldin taking Kairi right from Avan's clutches. It'd piss him off so badly. >D Though I wouldn't know what to have Avan do after that, because he wouldn't want to chase Xaldin if Sora's already bolting after him when all is said and done.

And I AM WORKING ON MY RIKU APP. D: It's coming along slowly, but it's getting there. -dies- When I can get on for more than an hour, then I'll definitely get a good chunk of it done.

I like all of the ideas that you guys have come up with. If he were to take the route with darkness, then he probably would get a glimpse of Kairi being kidnapped. Then if he met Lightning, they could form a bond and she could help him. I think it'd be pretty interesting if Xaldin were to take Kairi, he could bump into Riku and kind of tease him a bit before leaving again. It'd make him angry, and resort to the darkness more like Sora would.

And if we were to do that, maybe Riku and Lightning could chase down Xaldin, and DMS could chase down Avan, because they could think that he knows where Xaldin's taking Kairi. But in reality, Avan had never planned for that to happen. Does that make any sense?

Anddd, I'll just cut it short here because I'm getting too far ahead of myself. XD
