[Anduin is on the 12th floor of Zenobius' tower, his mirrors, lights, glass panes and telescopes visible in the background. The lighthouse keeper himself is nowhere to be seen.]

There is a ship.

[Anduin does not waste time with niceties. There is no time for niceties. He frowns, a troubled look on his face, as behind him Lily and Joker converse with one another beside one of the telescopes.]

It's caught in the storm and headed this way. Zenobius -- signaled them over?

[He shakes his head, as if to clear a thought (they don't have time to question that now but also what is the purpose of this lighthouse?) and strengthens his resolve.]

They'll never make it to shore. The three of us -- Lily and Akira are with me -- we saw Zenobius leave his post. He seemed... Distraught. Without any way to guide their boats through this mist, the storm, and those creatures in the water...

[His expression draws tight with concern.]

We must save them.

((ooc: this post is in regards to lily, joker, and anduin's plot roll. threadjacking is more than welcome for all!))

Makes sense.

[And to be helpful:]

A Plan B is a secondary plan in case something goes wrong in your main plan.

Aaaah, backup plans. This I know well. Do you have any other term for working in the heat of the moment, as things are changing? When all plans have been left behind?

[rumorate]

I think we usually just say "fuck it," and do what we have to do.

[Because sometimes you just need to throw everything in the trash and do what you have to do to survive.]

[weifinder]

Ahahaha, ah, hah, yeah, that... that does seem to be consistent with most our number. A talent, almost!

Look, sometimes the plan only gets you so far.

[A beat.]

And sometimes plans are overrated, and winging it can work out better for you.
