Thailog is a Judge Doom sort of problem in terms of personal drives in general. He enjoys inflicting pain, amassing power, and lording that power over others especially while inflicting pain.

There is a key difference though.

Thailog wants to kill both Goliath (already succeeded, almost certainly giving Demona the terrible idea that got Goliath killed) and David.


on the good side, Nightstone/Thailog is not as powerful as Doom in terms of clout/influence, localized control and profits.

Thailog is actually probably the scarier adversary though, because he's David but better (physically. His company is less influential for now). Plus, he has a major motivation to kill our buddy David. Which is terrible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We probably need to investigate the Huntsclan. The authors could put their power level at a variety of settings. They are either a global organization of omnipresent threat and reach, active in every major city and regularly traveling to dwellings outside those cities in-force for surprise sweeps. Or they're an organization that used to be powerful and global but has dwindled significantly over the years due to only recruiting children with a specific recessive genetic birthmark. Group is still active in most major cities but is small enough that it shuffles all American recruits to a training center in upstate NY.

there's a large difference between "literally everywhere with threatening numbers" and "given some time to plan they can organize a dangerous strike force, but most outposts are not near full muster strength".

remember that the big bad endgames are Toffee, Dorito, DOR-15, Cyberbugs and Phobos.

everyone else is less terrible than them, with DOR-15 almost certainly being the least bad of those four and The Wasteland+Jungle+Space providing wildcards.

I would like to more accurately know how less terrible than Apocalypse the Huntsclan currently are in order to prioritize them properly. There are so many evils in this world it's easy to prioritize them wrong. More info would be good to get

Thing is Thailog can't go out or really do anything during the day. So he has a big weakspot. Still I want to get to work on the signal after we get pass this turn.
 
But we can't just leave the smaller threats to fester, when the big problems like Bill come around we won't want Doom and Thailog and others like them running around to make an already bad situation worse.
Have you considered that there will be at least a few people who would think the same thing as us?
I mean we are going to take reality and shake it until it's dizzy so we can fit it to our whims.
Besides we might not have to deal will bill we just have to spread our empire out to other dimensions so that when bill turns this one into weirdmageddon apocalyptic hell we can move some of our resources out of this dimension and continue business as normal. We have beef with toffee, bill is just doing what bill does. Besides there's a good chance that if bill tries to go to alternate universes something will (eventually) get annoyed with him and eat him. And if he sticks with one well like I said we can just jump dimensions assuming we get what we need next turn.
Edit: I would like to point out that this is VILLAINS victorious not heros victorious. We don't have to save the world if we can find others.

We have beef with Bill, everything that isn't Bill automatically has beef with Bill by virtue of not being Bill regardless if it knows it or not. Besides, can you honestly come up with a way to make Doof abandoning an entire reality to Bill justifiable in character in any way? We also have beef with Doom, and with the MCP and Thailog. And others such as Bellwether are easy to have beef with by virtue of who they are and what they're doing.

Just saying that as a blanket statement about how we should be playing when we are in fact playing as Heinz Doofenshmirtz, a man who is pretty much a villian in name only, demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of who we are playing as. Even if we weren't playing as him it would be a wrong statement as each villain is very different from the others. Abandoning this reality to Bill would only be justifiable if we were playing as Doom, Toffee, Demona, DOR-15, Phobos, and possibly Shere Khan. Everyone else, not so much, Xanatos, Shego, Yokai, the MCP, hell even Bellwether would be hard pressed to just abandon an entire reality to Bill unless it was absolutely necessary.

If Bill gets Earth what is stopping him from just making portals to the other dimensions accessible from Earth?

Or just reopening portals already created on Earth. He has some form of clairvoyance that apparently allows him to know secret information, he probably just jobs.
 
Bellwether is especially easy to "have beef with", since she´s a prey supremacist and would take badly to having that kind of dinner with.
And it's really really fun to think of ways to ruin her plans and just mess with her business. But if we're talkin bout in-character, then everyone who isn't Demona, Toffee or Doom needs to be put out of mind for now since we don't have any information on them. As for Huntsclan...well big boss is wrecked to hell and back, so aside from the PR buff and possible increase in recruitment, there's not much to do aside from setting up an information hotspot.

Plus, Bellwether would probably hate Humans more than any "Pred". After all, while it can be reasoned that Preds are biologically forced to eat meat, Humans *can choose what to eat* and thereofeore their "evil" in Bellwethers mind is more deliberate (nevermind the fact that the distinction between herbivores and carnivores irl isn´t even half as strict as often portrayed in fiction, meaning that most animals will "raid" the other "food realm" if a good-enough opportunity or a dire-enough situation presents itself). So in the end I don´t expect that ewe to have the best ideological opinion of good old *Homo sapiens*.

Doof is probably on her hit list. The guy brought a whole lot of animal species back to life, only to butcher them for food.

Yeah, but on the other hand we are probably to her what BnL/AUTO is to us - a tangential threat to our/her powerbase on account of some indirect economic and socio-political differences, but not a primary ideological threat unlike what Doom is to us or Shere Khan is to her (although, the animosity Doof/Doom is explicitly mutual, while the animosity Bellwether/Khan seems to be largely if not entirely one-sided coming from her).

So while I expect her to *Eventually* move against us if for no other reason than not being a vegan and therefore an indirect threat to her dogma, immediately speaking she´ll probably pay us scarcely a notice in favor of dealing with Shere Khan (bc ideology) or either the Zaibatsu or Olympia (geographical proximity to her turf)...meaning that we should respond in kind and mostly ignore her while instead dealing with those higher on our "shitlist" like Doom, Toffee and thanks to our good relations to Shego and Xanatos also the Middleton/Wasteland Drug Cartell and Demona (not sure about whether we should get too involved with either Thailog or Evelyn Deavor just yet)

Aside from all that, I´d also would prefer us to intensifying our collabs with Shego, Xanatos and (at least part of) the Zaibatsu as well as initiating favorable contacts with Von Flugel, Shere Khan and Deavour as part of that "Council of the Semi-Sane" idea I still consider vital to better survive the ENDGAME crisises.

A Night to Remember: A-1 Arrival
A Night to Remember: A-1 Arrival


The gathered crowd began whispering amongst each other as Shego settled into the back seat near Dr. Doofenshmirtz, she even recognized some of them as her own employees, the rumors are only going to get so much worse, what is Doof thinking! And then instead of acknowledging the crowd he simply smiles and pours both of them a glass of something as the Normbots get everything ready to go. He offers Shego a glass that she begrudgingly accept, surprised to find that the purple drink was delicious, not one she was familiar with either.

"Doonkleberry Wine, near impossible to get ahold of outside of Drusselstein, but well worth the hassle." He clinks the glasses together and takes a drink of his own, "We're ready to go Hego, and take the scenic route will you? I want to show her the sights."

Hego simply nodded and began driving, the car taking off into the afternoon sky as the onlookers watched on in awe. None of them heard what Dr. D had said before he clinked the glasses, and in the light it looked like Shego might have been blushing. The last Normbot quickly gathered up the decorations in record time and took off after the others towards the coming sunset. By all accounts it was a terribly romantic scene, and the crowd was quick to express how romantic it was online to everyone who would hear.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Back in Danville things were significantly less calm, DEI employees ran about to accomplish various tasks as they readied for their boss's arrival with his date. Trucks sped down the twisting and confusing streets with expert precision to deliver necessary supplies, crowds of workers gathered to set up shop, and there was a giant flying baby head, where did that one come from again? Near DEI headquarters a pavilion was being prepared as several guests arrived for the upcoming event.

And who was organizing this you might ask?

"How are things going with that video feed Norm?" Said a young redheaded boy in an orange and white shirt, accompanied by his step brother. "We need to know where they are or we cant pull out all the stops."

"It's almost up Mr. Flynn!" The robot says in his eternal happy tone. "But I have one question."

"Yes I am to young to be planning this."

"No, not that, you're older than me after all!" Phineas hadn't thought about that. "Father is on a date with Shego, yes?"

"That's why we're doing this after all."

"Does that mean Shego is my new mother?"

"..."

"I don't think we're qualified for that." Ferb told the robot as the video feed came to life, courtesy of a camera on one of the Normbots.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"We're going to see the sights?" Shego asked Doof as the drive continued on. "I've seen Danville before remember, after the Sands? Doesn't seem like there's much to see."

"Oh, that is where you are wrong Shego! Doofania has quickly become a wonderland unlike any other, I doubt we'll be able to see it all before the night's out!" The sky slowly begins to change color as they near the smoggy skies of Doofenshmirtz's territory, light music began to play, but not from the radio or anything, Shego had no idea where it was coming from. "I can't wait to show you."

"Where is that music coming from?" She asked as it began to swell, before a look of realization showed itself. "You were serious about the singing weren't you?"

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering splendid

Serious as a heart attack, not that this was the song he wanted to sing, but Hego was so insistent about doing this one, he must really want to help him impress Shego, what a good employee! Perhaps Doof should give him a raise?

Tell me, Shego, now when did
You last let your heart decide?

Hego for his part was grinning like a madman, so far everything was going according to plan, now to give the people on the ground time to get everything perfect for the happy couple.

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder

Shego was stunned by what was happening, unsure how to take the lyrics as Doof continued to sing.

Over sideways and under
In a flying cross-state drive

The car suddenly began to fly upwards through the smog, Shego wasn't prepared for the sudden rise and was thrown off balance, ending up pressed up against Dr. D as he held her to keep her from falling. To anyone watching it would look like a warm embrace.

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view

The car broke out from the top of the smog to reveal a beautiful skyline, sunlight filtering through the purple and green cloud in small rays against the slowly pinkening sky. Doof leapt to his feet, bringing Shego with him as they passed under a large cloud. Shego couldn't help herself and ran her hand through the bottom of the cloud.

No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

Doof stepped back from her and slowly backed off of the car, Shego was shocked by the action until Doof slowly rose back up, held up by several Normbots who provided a platform for him to stand on, how he was able to stand there despite wind resistance is beyond her, probably not important honestly. He held out a hand for her to grab, which she slowly took and joined him on the platform.

A whole new world
A dazzling place you never knew

He spun her around in a dance, normally she wouldn't let something like this happen but she was too overwhelmed by what's happening to offer up much resistance, before long the Normbots slightly tilted the platform and they slid back into their seats, sitting down as they left.

But when we're way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you

The car began to drive back down this time, a sharp enough turn to almost bring them into freefall, out of instinct both passengers gripped tightly on whatever they could, unintentionally holding hands as they broke though the smog once again.

Now I'm in a whole new world with you

They flew into one of the tunnel entrances to Mt. Doofhawk, quickly coming to a large cavern filled with what appears to be lava flowing, churning and falling like a waterfall. It was breathtaking, yer Doofenshmirtz never took his eyes off of Shego, he's a professional after all, and Shego found herself staring into his eyes at one point, unable to bring herself to look away.

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling

Hego quickly drove the car out of the cavern, flying out over the city and it's eclectic architecture. From the ground it might seem confusing and bizzare, and it still was, but from above it looked like something from out of a storybook, the kind of impossible place one could only imagine.

Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

They drove over a colored lake, from what she could understand it was only looks, and was perfectly safe to drink, and even then the water from faucets was still untouched. The lake has been lavishly decorated as to reflect a variety of lights up to them as they went overhead.

A whole new world (Don't you dare close your eyes)
A hundred thousand things to see (Hold your breath, it gets better)

They flew near the surface of the water, Doof ran his hand over the lake as they displaced the water they passed over, several fish jumped over them as a wave was created by Dr. D's hand and soared over them

We're like a shooting star
We've come so far
We can't go back to where we used to be

They returned to the city proper, flying just over the buildings, passing through an area where the Toons clearly lived, the buildings themselves sprouted smiles and the entire area began to dance about at their arrival.

A whole new world (Every turn a surprise)
With new horizons to pursue (Every moment, red-letter)

The Toons began to sing backup for the Doctor as they passed though, some of the clouds and birds even following after them as they exited Little Toontown.

I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

They did one final spin, once more forcing Shego to loose her balance and lean into Dr. D as he continued to sing, not even noticing the unintended embrace as they flew on.

A whole new world (A whole new world)
That's where we'll be (That's where we'll be)

They began to slow down and descend at that point nearing what appeared to be a restaurant in downtown Danville.

A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

As the song ended they slowed to a stop and landed, Doof gout out of the car and opened Shego's door for her, letting her step out and get her bearings. That couldn't have been on purpose... could it? At least no one saw that, she thinks she'd die of embarrassment if that happened.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As everyone was celebrating the first part of the night going off without a hitch, not so much for Janna Ordonia. She couldn't believe that Heinz Doofenshmirtz of all people could be that smooth, and on accident at that! She knew that he didn't know what implications he was giving with his little speech at the meeting a month ago, but she was having too much fun messing with people to clear it up.

In fact...

She looked at the computer she was sitting in front of, rumors were already abounding after the boss's public entrance to pick up his 'date' for the evening, nobody's sure what to make of it...

She grinned...

And hit upload.

Wonder how people will handle that recording of their little trip?


I don't think I need to but just to be safe the original song is A Whole new World from Aladdin, one of the most famous Disney songs of all time. Obviously edited slightly. As for the title A-1 is referance to the highest rating something can have, playing into the whole 'unforgettable night' thing.

I just had a thought the 'What did you think ____ was just going to fall out of the sky' couple are doing ok right.

Doofania survived the food shortages better than most places but do we know if all of the side characters like Love Handel are fine.

We know all the kids are ok from 'You're going down' and 'Board of selectmen' but the adults are less clear.

I agree that Huntsclan is probably worth chucking actions at. They play too directly into Toffee's hands, and that is the threat most narratively fitting with our focus on Star Vs heroes as well as Gargoyles (Demona and Thailog both being easy recruits for him).

Thailog is a much greater pressing issue as of right now though. He has the best stats of Goliath and Xanatos, which means he is probably the best statted unit we know, and he has an active agenda to murder David. Additionally he'd make an excellent general for Toffee, is in an excellent position to recruit from New York's magical community (especially given David's interactions with the Huntsclan) and due to Demona becoming embroiled in the Star Vs stuff he is very likely to end up interacting with Toffee in the long term.

I think that step 1 of reducing Thailog's power might look like striking/weakening the Huntsclan just to reduce his recruiting bonuses (I'm sure he has more options due to the Huntsclan rising in power). Huntsclan isn't priority 1, we have a lot of constructive and relationship-building desires as well, but I think they're worthy to strike at
