Going into this event, Finn is very much like. He wants to be actively involved. He wasn't super involved in Aldyhion, because it was his first mission and he was dealing with Trauma. And he wasn't super involved on Ciraiwei, because the whole thing wigged him out so bad and he is just a normie + felt kinda powerless

He also has spent 2 weeks being babied by his close CR (who are, angels, and he loves them, but he's also seventeen and a brat kinda)

So he's going to be striking out on his own and trying very hard to do something Right with all this.

1. Scrapper
His initial plan is going to be a trash salesman. He's going to be scavenging for useful junk, digging through dumpsters, and trying to sell it on the black market. His goal here is to make some connections with the underbelly. However

2. Captured/Orphan
He will get in trouble with the authorities through these efforts pretty quickly. Just before Group 3 arrives, I think he will be recently captured. Because he has no papers, no parents (didn't factor that into his cover story, unless anyone has any ideas for wanting to post as his parents?), and they believe he's not as old as he

says he is (I figure Finn will be posing as in his early 20s again, like he did on Aldyhion), I'm going to see if the mods would agree to have him put in one of the orphanages as an orphan

I'm hoping this will give him an opportunity to approach some of the orphans as a peer and look for more information that way

Or maybe just sneak around the orphanage a little

someone who wants to get captured and be an orphan with him? Someone to pose as his parents to eventually break him out?

Any reason for why this would not work that I missed? LOL

oh man trash salesman is such a creative idea

oh man if he is allowed to be put in the orphanage i have vash working at one

so they can do some sneaking together perhaps

YEAH, i know loads of people are in the orphanages as medical practitioners too, having an orphan on the "inside" to get strategically sick/play dead/cause a disturbance/what have you could be pretty cool?

yeah i'm having harley go in as a counselor and i believe chishiya will be there as a pediatrician

maybe they could all do a search request together and cover each other's backs while snooping?

harley & chishiya around the medical records and finn & vash with the orphans?

let me ping etceteras jic

Ooh yes

I was just trying to decide what to do with him lmao

ohh these are all good idea. Clarke is also helping out on the medical side with the orphans + being an art teacher there.

COOL COOL, it sounds like a good idea to me (pending on mod response for Finn's excursion)

i love this idea SO MUCH

i want to know a) who finn's parents that get him out are gonna be and

b ) if anyone else gets orphan captured with him

'cuz i love the idea of secret spy orphans LMAO

jake playing with some orphan kids, sees finn in there, just... what the... fuck...

I will probably end up changing my mind because I'm freak, but leaning toward mostly just doing closed starters and tagging out rather than any open top level too so if anyone wants one of those HMU (or visa versa)

safelybeds: LMAO

i have a toplevel if you wanna tag it! or we can do smth closed

I would say SAME, BRO but i guess Finn would know going in that Jake is going to be posing as a Regular Dog

also re search request should we all make a pp or smth if we wanna collaborate for orphanage snoops

yeah i was considering similar re: orphans with ciri's age! though also to see what happens if she registered, maybe, to see if that flags anything

that's a good idea so we can coordinate what/how everyone's investigating and fit it all into a search request summary

whimsea: CO-ORPHANS

derkins: YOU ALSO POTENTIALLY, tho iris has his cloak so I don't know if he'd be caught

CAUGHT DOING WHAT

excuse u he is an Adult

yeah I love PPs for search request plotting

you want iris to adopt you, finn?

derkins:

call him daddy, go ahead

i'm pivoting this plurk to announce my drop from xim

omg i'm so excited about this! i wanted joric to work at some orphanages so they could run into each other for sure.

has someone claimed the parents role yet?

imagine joric searching through the orphanages for his lost boy. ;_;

wow

SCREAMING

sent yall a search request pp!

I always want finny boy!!! the only thing I can come up with for a thread atm is they FINALLY get to go on a buddy adventure (maybe some investigation attempt that goes nowhere)

we can reattempt arm discussions perhaps

OKAY BACK FORM THE GYM AND HOME FOR THE NIGHT!!!

I had extremely spotty internet access today so I apologize if i missed anything/double sent, I’m working on catching up with everything now u_u

cerebrah: WE CAN DEFINITELY DO SOMETHING

fairandbright: starfaring: I'm thinking that cuz Itachi and Finn are both group 2, the dads taking this one makes sense! BUT WE SHOULD DO THIS W/JORIC ANOTHER MISSION, cuz that's cute as heck and I want it also. Mountain daddy

when that day comes he will be the best father he can be for best boy finn!

.....oh no starfaring: I have the worst idea

OKAY, heard from the mods, I am all clear to have operation orphan go!

BackAgain: also i gotta know, i'm curious

LOL it's completely stupid

my favorite flavor

i was gonna offer Bones but w/Rhys offering Itachi I was very "but wait neither of them look like Finn– OMG SEXY NO JUTSU" or whatever the fucking appropriate ninja-bs gender-slash-looks-change business is called

HAHAHA

i only Naruto part time, don't judge me

real talk, that was exactly what we talked about happening

i'm glad we're all the same brand of stupid

i don't know yet how anything will shake out, but i am very in favor of barbie itachi happening

OH well then we're clearly the smartest brain cell in the room

BARBIE ITACHI

his sailor moon dress up pen

that was rhys's call and it is perfect

the artbook describes finn as completely androgynous and unable to tell if he's a boy or girl w/o his hat on, so a barbie mommy is only fitting tbh

beautiful

there better be pictures, Finn
