Voices From Beyond: A Skullgirls Quest

then taking care of any outside guards as quietly as possible
Pretty sure Marie doesn't have any skills for stealth kills.

then dropping in through the roof into the bigger concentration of mooks while spinning her elongated arms like a top, with her strength it'll be like a blender!
Everything else definitely looks good, although we should hear what she has in mind first.

I think an idea should be: Send at least two nurses out to the Medici tower.
If Last Hope agrees to work with Marie yes, but if not we'll probably need a different plan. Maybe see about creating clones.
 
That's the janitor's problem.

Ehh, that might also affect Marie's mentally, she is still a 13 years old, and while the skull heart is basically corrupting her and making her become a slaughtering machine, wojld rather not have her go that far.

Also if she does cause a mess, that will be a bit hard to excuse for Big Band and Lab 8 if we want them not to try and kill Marie.

But being serious, any quick kill is a stealth kill, you either kill efficiently and methodically so that you're not found out, OR you do it fast enough the other guys can't find out till it's their turn.

True but if the fight makes too much noise it will drawn attention, making it hard to stay unnoticed and making people raise alarms.

Ideal scenario is to catch Lorenzo alone without Black Dahlia Around to mess things, it's fine if Marie needs to fight her afterwards but killing Lorenzo first should be the best outcome, cause that Jets us the life gem and that might help Marie current state.

So Hitman where he kills everyone, yeah I think Marie should get some ninjutsu next.
Doesn't have to be specifically that, any chacarte good at sneaking and infiltrating places wojld do, not just ninjas, there's just many of them to choose from.

Saying this so we don't monofocus and miss some other good candidates

Pretty much, but I was thinking more like when you infiltrate a base in Prototype, those soldiers never see me coming!

Well, they know Marie can kill them easily. So if they want to get a chance to run away, they should obey.

Yet another good use for the acting skill! You're not intimidating? Act intimidating!
 
Is just that I saw the Skullgirls Webcomic in Webtoon and Marie can fly there.
True, but issue is more like, it's not if she could do it, it's if she can do it now at her current state. skull heart corruption has been minimal and the more she uses its powers and kill's people the stronger she will get.
If she could fly why did she walk all the way to the station at the start of the quest? Not sure if she knows herself that she can do that perhaps?

Still would like to avoid for Marie to be too reliant on the skull heart powers without having a way to null the corruption.

For fights and the like when there is no other way it's fine, but would like to try and make sure it's never her first go to option if we can help it.
 
Nice to know we have that option, now the question is, will doing that trigger the Lab sensors? We still don't know how sensitive those are, so maybe we should test the Skull powered flight somewhere else.
Well, in that webcomic, they detected when she used her powers to set in flames an entire neighborhood (Fillias) and reanimate a bunch of dead people.

We don't know what's the tipping point where they start sensing it, but now that the labs know Marie is a skullgirl and is here, they will pay attention to the Theonite readings.

So better not risk detection and further corruption then, good thing we gave her skills that allows her to rely on stuff other than the Skull.
 
Someone make a list of fighting games that we can draw upon.
That's gonna be a long list.
that might also affect Marie's mentally, she is still a 13 years old, and while the skull heart is basically corrupting her and making her become a slaughtering machine, wojld rather not have her go that far.
So go with quick and painless kills for Marie.
Saying this so we don't monofocus and miss some other good candidates
Oh like Gen from Street Fighter.

I think I got a quote Marie can say when facing Medici goons, Cerebella or anyone from the labs.
"Your choices have clearly led you here, as have mine. I will give you a new choice. Leave now and live, or stay and face your destiny."

I have returned from the Skullgirls tournament I entered. I didn't do as well as I hoped, but I am better at the game than when I started practicing, and that's something. I'll just have to keep working on getting better. In the meantime, though, the Marie of this quest still has the potential to get victories in the gauntlet she's going through, so let's see how things go for her.

So who will be Marie's next opponent, cause I'm sure we haven't left any clues for the Princess or the Medici's.

Although I do hope Marie meets Beowulf and gets his autograph.

Unless you all can think of a very good plan, once Marie goes in Medici Tower, there will be a fight as a result. It could be while she's looking for Lorenzo, after she's killed him, or while she's trying to kill him. Depending on how Marie makes her way into the building and the time of day she does it, it could be anyone in a pool of characters I've got ready. It might even be multiple characters working together.

Well at least that crosses out a few characters already.

Still leaves Cerebella, Black Dahlia and perhaps a few side characters.

Oh the Princess and her entourage won't be happy to work with the Medici or even Ben if he comes to the tower once word gets out of the Skullgirl attacking the Medici's tower.

…Unless Marie crashes the party when Parasoul and her black Egets groups are trying to arrest Lorenzo like in the webcomic…if Marie goes when that's happening things might get… complex.

Still leaves Cerebella, Black Dahlia and perhaps a few side characters.
Cerebella, Black Dahlia and even Eliza wild be guaranteed I would say.

…we need to assault that building during the dead of the night, like really late, at the way least that way, and if possible try and have done some recon before to know where Lorenzo exactly is so Marie can go straight there

Would at least be entertaining to see how everyone reacts to Marie pulling a scorpion on Lorenzo.

Cerebella, Black Dahlia and even Eliza wild be guaranteed I would say.
Isn't Eliza independent though?

Unfortunately we have a detective with a good moral compass coming after us and soon a friend who would want see Marie as well, so we'll need to speed up a few ideas.
 
Isn't Eliza independent though?
Yeah, but Medicis have blackmail on some stuff she has done, so they can pull her chain a little so to say.

I wouldn't say she is here to assist The medicis explicitly, but would not be surprised at all if she showed/was there already when Marie assaulted the Tower.

Unfortunately we have a detective with a good moral compass coming after us and soon a friend who would want see Marie as well, so we'll need to speed up a few ideas.

Yeah…we might need to do this tonight, well when tonight is for Marie.

And as much as I hate to say this, I'm debating if it would be worth having Double help Marie… she won't help us at all if we want to go the stealth route/less bloodless way, but I really wouldn't want Marie to go alone with no back up, maybe if we can get a member or 2 of Last hope to assist us, but if a battle breaks out, there's literally no guarantee they won't switch sides and help kill Marie.

On one hand, if we only ask for the help of 1 nurse we have the 4 other to help as hostages, we make it clear that if Marie dies they rest will never escape, could be a good bargaining chip.

As long as the last Hope member we pick (Preferably Valentine), cares more about her teammates than doing her duty, but I hope that's the way

Fair enough, although once the fishbone gang stole from Lorenzo and the Medici they probably painted a target on their back.

But one thing we must remember is to steal Lorenzo's life Gem at all costs.
maybe if we can get a member or 2 of Last hope to assist us, but if a battle breaks out, there's literally no guarantee they won't switch sides and help kill Marie.
Especially if the Princess came to arrest Lorenzo.

Hopefully Marie can get Valentine as a vassal, although Double would certainly question where the nurse came from.
 
[X] Plan: Giving Marie a heads up
-[X] (Voice 1) "Um Marie...that giant man you just met? Well, he is in fact a very nice guy, no faking that. Buuuuut, he kind of is part of that same group those nurses came from. An Anti-Skullgirl group based on the city, but a different division ."
-[X] (Voice 2) "Young Lady, you can trust Mister Ben to help you reunite with Patricia. But that mght bring some complications..."
-[X] (Voice 5) "Turns out that the group he belongs to, managed to rescue Patricia from those slavers scum that captured you both. She was not in the best of conditions when they found her."
-[X] (Voice 1) "But hey! They managed to patch her up! Just...she looks a bit different now that you might remember her. They have been taking care of her, letting her watch all the cartoons she wants."
-[X] (Voice 1) "Thought that means we might wanna speed up the plans to assualt the Medicis..."
-[X] (Voice 4) "So kid, umm, chances are that Ben and Patricia might be looking for you now, you might want to talk to one of the nurses as soon as possible, preferably the bluehaired aone, see if you can convince them to somehow assist you with the attack to the Medici's Tower."

How does this look?

Quick question, is Lorenzo the type of mobster that pretends to be a law abiding citizen in public? Cause of so, Marie might be able to get him in whatever office he works in!

Turn into a bird to scout out the windows till he finds him sitting on his desk, then back away and fly forwards as fast as possible, use a little bit of the Skull juice to increase her strength to break through the window, kill Lorenzo while he's off guard, get the good juju rock off of him, then divebomb out of the building and escape through the sewers before robo lady can start chasing her.

His son might go to ground but this way we cut the head of the snake permanently, or as permanently as possible with people like Brain Drain around anyway.

Unfortunately we have a detective with a good moral compass coming after us and soon a friend who would want see Marie as well, so we'll need to speed up a few ideas.

If we absolutely need to do it at night, I can think of one way of doing it stealthy like, it'll be pretty slow though.

She needs to fly to the roof of the building and Shapeshif herself into either a snake or simply an amorphous blob and slip into the ventilation system, from there she checks every room and floor till she finds Lorenzo's room and cuts his head off while he sleeps to avoid making noise, looks for the gem and quietly escapes.


Seems fine to me.
