Sooooo are we exploring an abandoned ranch with the Dullahan coming at us like Nemesis from RE3? Because that would be rad.

Hm well let's see...I assume the notes re: the Dullahan are common knowledge, so Aya would generally be in favour of figuring out the cause of the Dullahan's presence, unless the damage it's causing is really egregious/there's a danger to civilians. Her first priority will be protecting the kids, since she's used to working alone mostly and having other people along will give her anxiety as to their safety.

Is it on youtube somewhere, because I am completely canonblind to Resident Evil :")

I would love to have some discussions between Zamasu and Aya regarding protection. Zamasu is kind of a shithead who expects the students to throw in their own weight. It seems they both like to work solo

[eyefortrouble]

For Aya it's that most of her experiences in battling the supernatural have been solo by necessity. Her abilities don't really mesh well with others either; she can only heal and buff herself, and then she just shoots bullets at things, or shoots energy bullets at things. She can shoot fireballs too but at the moment that's kind of it. But yeah, I feel like it's a weird culture shock of Aya having to probably adapt more to Zamasu's point of view re: students being involved in dangerous situations, since it's fully sanctioned by the school.

As or Nemesis, it's just a monster that shows up randomly and stalks the main character throughout the events of the game. Sometimes there were scripted events, but sometimes it would just show up randomly and wreck your shit.

Forward Group Planning

Aya, Ren and Minako

Attack Group Planning

Zamasu, Jinx, Nana and Yuya

Aya will likely insist on taking point, given her delicate feelings towards minors in danger, and if y'all would rather have that spot, she will just be a bit salty about it lol

General thoughts on this is the group is we probably want to find the thing and hit it hard from the opposite side so it runs into the attack group. Also Ren wants to steal his head, they can converse while the attack group beats the shit out of his body.

That's fine Joker will skulk around the shadows.

The attack group will follow behind the forward group. They will actually be the ones who'll launch the attack on the Dullahan after the forward group has spotted its whereabouts.

I just have this mental image of him trying to get on an airplane back home with this skull in his carry-on like it's no big deal. Ren why are you like this

[missleading]

Minako's fine with staying in the shadows. She'll be positioning to be the bait in case their party or the attack group gets discovered.

For reference, she'll have Orpheus, Pixie and Lilim with her. Pixie gives them some wiggle room, since she can use Pulinpa to try to cause the dullahan to panic in order to draw it off their trail.

Nana's a good close-range fighter, but she can manipulate the environment with stage props to try to keep it in one place, after Forward group entered? (And she might try to tank, so Forward Group can come in and help fight too!)

I would like Nana to fight in front of Ren, Minako, and Yuya for later developments but this sounds like a given basically?

Jinx is a firecracker and excels at shooting things from a distance with a variety of energy-based guns and explosives. Just tell her what needs shooting and that's about it. Though, she may need some supervision so she doesn't go too wild.
