In honor of the classic horror films, and one of the most entertaining holidays of the year I would like to present a mini plot for Halloween

A scientist, deciding that he must do something about the “mutant problem” has decided to fight fire with fire. They have created an experiment that would bring to life a behemoth that would use mutations against mutants themselves. However in creating the creature they cause a city wide black out. Two problems that must be resolved are:

1)A creature on the loose in New York City, uninstructed, and on the rampage. Basic attacks would be along the lines of fireballs, ice, etc (I'm open for suggestions on what it could do), and being sucking in electrical power to keep it moving in spite of damage dealt.

2. Lights are out all over the city. Street lights, building lights, traffic signs. For one night only all of New York will be in the dark. Obviously looting could happen, along with other types of chaos and illegal activities. By defeating the monstrosity, it's power connection will be broken and New York can go back to bathing in the neon and florescent glow that everyone knows and loves.


What do you think? Any suggestions? Any takers?


EDITED FOR ADDITIONAL INFO:
The plot has officially started with the creature escaping from the labs here!

I like! Can Kite fly above it and yell where it's going?

... since anything else would probably break him XD

Personally think its a great idea. Seyta isn't likely to go after the monster, but if the mods give their stamp of approval I will gladly start up a looting thread.

Just make sure the monster is in some way explainable by mutant origins (is a mutant/human on M, or was produced by mutant powers), and I see no Modly reason this need not go ahead. Maybe have a more limited range on the electricity draining--a few blocks, perhaps? That way it can be totally dark in your area, but if people had other threading plan for All Hallow's Eve, they can set them in another part of the city and be unaffected.

But yeah: feel free to grab people and go ahead with this, if folks be interested.

Good points Calley. I was thinking maybe some sort of experimentation on the M drug with a "volunteer" test subject. And I can see the purpose of having it not take out all of New York. I did want the area to be larger than a few blocks though, that way there can be things happening outside of it's area as a result of the power outage.

Sounds fun. I think we should definitely do this.

M-drug experiments!!!! I don't know a whole lot about M, but I'm assuming messing around with it would cause plenty of havoc.

Messing around with drugs does have that affect Seyta.

I'm up for tossing Miles into a few more action oriented threads. He's not likely to be fighting the monster, much less endangering his pretty average and untrained teenage body, but looking after the wounded or helping people find their way in the dark using his dogs is quite possible.

Alright, it seems that we have at least two things going on. I know that Sledge would probably take advantage of the black-out to get a few things on his shopping list. So there's going to be at least a couple of threads involving illegal activities. Locke will probably be trying to defend against Frankenstein. Is this something that the X-Men should get in on?

Donovan would probably Leroy Jenkins the monster in his metal-man form if you do end up doing it. So yeah... That's a thought

Saph would be in for attacking the beast; at least trying to contain it. Any other X's hoping to get involved?

Huge monster running around New York? This town aint big enough for the both of us.

Clearly Monstrosity could get in on this if the 'Monster' bothers him.

I did want the area to be larger than a few blocks though, that way there can be things happening outside of it's area as a result of the power outage.

Feel free to make the exact area of the blackout hand-wavey and not strictly defined. Then everyone's happy.

Ok. So This looks like it's really going to happen folks. I'll get the ball rolling no later than Wednesday of next week (the week ending in the 20th). Let's shoot for an end date no later than November 2nd? I don't think that it'll run that long, but after the candy has been given out, it's hard to get into that horror feel.
