Zaunites vs. Bats Recapping & Plotting

[leastdramatic]

So IC relations between Zaunites and BatFamily members are turning towards an aggressive and potentially unfriendly manner thanks to a whole confluence of things. This might also affect others who have CR with either casts. This is what happens when magic nukes are involved, folks.

Because of how many characters are already involved and how many more this may affect, this post is for both recapping and plotting!

If your character is involved with this IC powerkeg in some capacity, comment here and link your relevant threads so that everyone is on the same page to what is happening with who! This post is also so that we may plot with each other as things develop. This is NOT restricted to just the Arcane and BatFamily casts.

Accelerator

[levelshift]

Damian is talking to Accelerator about getting his help in retrieving Jinx's gun/the gemstone! This is coming after Jason tried to talk Damian out of stealing the gun and gemstone, and I think after Damian talked to Bruce about what he should do.

Accelerator is aware of the Runeterrans. He knows Jayce and Vander and has spoken to Silco, Viktor and Jinx a few times. Most relevant to this is that Jayce has told him about:

- His (and Viktor's) work in studying magic+science and a desire to provide a polluton-free renewable energy source in the gemstones.
- That Jinx worked for Silco and was a thief back home, stealing a gemstone/gemstones.
- That Jayce tried to fight back against Silco, creating a weapon and accidentally killing a child that he is now wracked with guilt over. This is not something he'd tell anyone else as Jayce told him this in confidence and he wants to respect that.

So while he doesn't have the full story of what's going on in Etraya he's already putting two and two together. From what he knows chances are his opinion will land in the "dismantle the weapon, return the gemstone to Jayce (and Viktor), everyone involved is being childish and irresponsible (Jayce the least, wtf)" camp. He and Damian are still talking though, so I'm not totally sure, and I'm not sure if he'll verbalize this or just keep it to himself. brb betraying everyone to give the shiny blue rock back to Jayce for his dumb rock collection I mean --

Anyways! I know Accelerator is completely OP compared to everyone so I'm happy to go with whatever. Accy wouldn't be super inclined to go around beating people up over this, he wouldn't be interested in picking fights and potentially causing things to spiral out of control. There are kids here, after all! But he also wouldn't want to see something so powerful being used as a weapon. Also Jayce and Viktor made it, it belongs to them, they should have it.

He can be extremely controlled with his power so he could put his foot down and flex without causing mass death/injuries. If some kind of fight happens I can have him hang back and then pop in at the very end, idk. I'm not sure anyone can actually touch him lol so I'm happy to keep things flexible with him.
