Plotting and scheming and evil and THINGS.
The time has come, the demon said
To talk of many things!
Of mutants-- heroes-- normal joes
Puppeted by strings!
...ahem coff. Uh, yes, so this is the planning post for Etrigan's debutante ball, as it were. Obviously no one has to participate in this, but there is gonna be a nasty, flame-breathing, extremely tough demon wandering around Taxon seeing what sort of trouble he can pick, and if you'd like your character to deal with him in any sort of way, then please, jump on in, the more the merrier!
As an overview of the plot: Sherlock Holmes has, through deduction and the fact that high-school!Jason wrote Bad Teenaged Goth Poetry which happened to include the chant for releasing Etrigan, managed to learn the incantation to release Etrigan, and is unwisely going to do so at some point in the near future. Etrigan will take some steps to make sure Sherlock can't simply say the chant and put him back, and then he'll sidle off like a stealthed ninja through Taxon, intent on having himself some fun. (He will not be visible upon the map.)
This 'fun' can take all sort of forms. Etrigan IS evil, and sadistic, but he's also an enormous troll and frequently prizes pure whimsy over actual destructive acts. He's also not stupid, so he's likely to try and stealthily troll for a bit, since he's all too aware that when demons are loose in cities with various heroes, the heroes tend to try and stop them, eventually. So there will be some time in which Etrigan is skulking around the city and playing tricks with the tablets although Sherlock may possibly be able to warn Taxon what's going on.
Of course, all good things come to an end: eventually Etrigan's presence will be found out, and Ettie can't resist his urge for good ol' fashioned violence forever, so at some point the fighting starts! I already have one volunteer in the form of Nuada to engage in Tussling with Ettie, but seriously, the more the merrier.
What'd I'd like in an ideal world is for people to eventually have to team up to deal with the threat Etrigan poses, and for there to be an epic big brawly brawl for the funny pages. :D Partly because WHEE FUN, and partly because Etrigan needs to realize the heroes (or even the anti-heroes) will band together to defeat him, so that next time he's out he has to be on better behavior, heh.
The only real caveat here is that ultimately, Gabe and I would like it if Sherlock can be the one to say the chant and turn Etrigan back into Jason (probably at a nice dramatic moment, like the big super-brawl!), thus getting to clean up his own mess at least a little bit. Sherlock may need some serious magical assistance, as well as diversions, to be able to pull this off, especially since Etrigan is going to steal his voice!
So in short: no one-shotting Etrigan with your character, but I'm up for almost anything else if you want to run it by me. Of course, I'll be refraining from one-shotting in turn, because that's no fun for the good guys.
Jemi in particular: if you're still recovering and aren't sure if you'll feel up to an involved plot like this, that's fine and I totally understand <3 Let me know if you want to give it a shot or if you need to sit this one out.
Everyone else: COME AT ME BRO!
I probably won't start throwing up threads for this until, say, the 17th? Plot at me for a week! Comments or PMs or chat all work.

Spike... Spike fights demons, so that could be fun to try.
no subject
And yes to both Maddy and Spike! Spike's been longing for a good fight, I'm sure?
no subject
Spike is up for a fight. Likely, really, a beat down but that's okay. He's used to fighting those fights and some part of him likes taking a beating.
And Maddy... Well, there are a lot of angles there. She's been totally manipulated and screwed over by demons in a number of different ways, which I'd be happy with him reading all over her past. I am open to fighting and injury and manipulation .... or teasing from afar and total non-engagement - sort of the opposite of Selina since she'd be inclined to go charging after him... I am really open to anything that you might think fun.
no subject
:D
I'm sure Spike will be able to give Etrigan a little bit of a speedbump ;)
Yes, Etrigan would love to go straight for the mocking and nasty-words stuff-- hurting someone physically is fun, to him, but hurting someone emotionally is even better if he can do it!

Excellent.

Selina has a small idea of what is coming, so, it'll be all, "WHAT!"

Exxxcellent, I was hoping you'd want in on the fight. I had a fun mental image of adamantium claws burying themselves deep in Etrigan's chest, Etrigan looking down, then saying, "My turn!" and returning the favor.
(not that we're obligated to do exactly that, of course, but I THINK ABOUT IMAGINARY COMIC VIOLENCE A LOT OKAY)
