NOW I see their plan

Genecatlow · Post by **Genecatlow** » Fri Dec 07, 2001 5:18 am

Both of the last posts are very close to the
mark. The three troublemakeres were indeed
hoping that there would be an altercation
that would make the friction between human
and furry society worse because of their not
really being armed (never mind that security
personnel have to treat someone that appears
to be armed as though they ARE until it can
be proved otherwise; all human society would
care about is that they really weren't, and
that they got hurt by evil beasts) and it is
also true that the situation isn't really
over yet - and that someone was indeed being
targeted...

The intruders were intending to get seriously roughed up by Furriston security. But there won't be any 'furry brutality' towards unarmed kids now.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Unfortunately I fear the plan is far darker. The kids, obviously, were targeted to someone; all of them are bemoaning their 'failure'. However, I suspect they were in fact decoys to lure the real target into the open for easier attack. We already know Avariss the Elder is a really nasty bugger, and has grudges against more then one member of Furriston Security.I hope I'm wrong, but I really suspect someone's about to get hurt, or attacked, from a completely unexpected direction.-- ArchTeryx

If Avariss' intention was to increase the ill
will between the societies of their world,
which situation would be better suited: an
adult human getting hurt by furry security,
or an adult kid getting hurt? Which would get
a more emotional reaction in human society?

That's the way I'Brolent is. Martin would
have simply cuffed the kid and taken him away.
But I'Brolent is a very moral individual, and
now that it's clear the kid is not only not
going to able to hurt him but anyone else,
he wants to know what motivated the kid to
do what he did.

Well, that's almost right - they were indeed

Still I think that is not the most appropriate to do. He should assure safeness first (so that the area could be liberated again). After all, (almost?) everyone in the plotline is assuming this ends here.> Well, that's almost right - they were indeed after a particular individual. But it'll be

Mmmmm...
I'll bet my playing pieces that it has something to do with the mysterious shadowy figures. There must be a reason for their sights being right before the festival.------------------

Those bad boys zigged when they should've zagged. The same goes for Avariss, that he's going to have to do uglier than that to contaminate the human-animal bond. For sure Avariss is going to have a fit over this failed plot.I dare Avariss to get connected with some terrorist network if he wants to be extra-satanic against HIS beast-foes. But then again, that'd be too extreme. But what else is a power-hungry villain supposed to do for his own evil benefits?But good work for Martin and I'Brolent. (*Claps in applause for the two!*)

I say the Three Bad Stooges were set up. If they caused trouble, that would be fine and dandy (for Mikey), but whatever trouble they could stir up probably would not cause much of an outcry. After all, claims of 'furry brutality' probably pop up now and again on an unfortunately regular basis.
Despite all his faults, Mikey is no dummy. I estimate that there are at least two or three layers of flunkies between him and the Three Bad Stooges. The flunky who set up the Three Bad Stooges means to use them as a diversion while he/she goes after the real target. This flunky will be far more dangerous than the Three Bad Stooges as he/she obviously has more brains in his/her skull and might be more subtle. We may not know exactly who this flunky is until after he/she has struck.
But here's a thought: is the flunky human? Wouldn't it be the height of irony if, once all is said and done, the Mikey underling above the flunky, hired a furry?

Joleen has the area blocked off already, and
two of the three are in custody. Yes, they
are assuming that the incident is under
control, but what happens next will be
something they wouldn't have been expecting

Yes, such claims are indeed made more than
they should - not only made, but blown out of
proportion by the human news media. But in
this case, it couls easily have been more
than a mere case of 'furry brutality'... if
things had gone just a little differently,
one or more of those kids could have been
killed... <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>

Such intrigues, unfortunately, have been known
to happen. But in this case, there's something
going on that's even more Machiavellian than
a simple case of some young troublemakers
trying to disrupt the Festival. The one that
was carrying the non-dangerous weapon didn't
answer I'Brolent's question, and it's an
important one. These three were willing to
put themselves in a position where they could
have been not merely injured, but killed.
What would motivate them to take such a
chance?

Not quite always. Maxine isn't against furries,
neither is Steven. And the Grandville Days
Festival would be populated only by furries
if every single human were against them.

You're right... though he was not necessarily
the 'target' of violence, they were indeed
looking for him all along.
