[CLOSED: KEBECHET PLAYER PLOT] A thousand armies couldn't keep me out
WHO? Everyone involved in the plot to abduct Kebechet from the Regency villa!
WHAT? All the pertinent information is here.
WHEN? Somewhat after the return from the Eclipse and the discovery of the destruction of the COST villa and Grothia's abduction.
ANYTHING ELSE? Each group should write its own starter, but I've linked the pertinent information for everyone so you're not flying blind.

Those who had been abducted by the Regency in Gallipoli managed to escape, but their experiences -- interrogation, intimate psychological torture, and sleep deprivation among them -- left them hungry for revenge. Their tormentor, Kebechet, also made an appearance on the COST network while they were being held, and her insults, manipulation, and disdain managed to anger even more of COST's operatives.
It's not that there's been an uneasy peace since both the Regency and COST have been working on their objectives in Jhashch; it's more that hostilities have mostly stayed at a relatively low buzz, played out in the arenas, or the deaths of the Aranean noble family most sympathetic to COST's cause. But a few things have changed that. A COST operative, Hei, learned that Kebechet has been present on Jhashch, disguised as the meek little shabti secretary who follows Mhic Nathair around (in reality, Kebechet's rank is much higher than that of the woman she pretends is her boss). He wasted no time in passing this information on to one of the abductees, Daenerys Targaryen, the sort of woman who's full of kindness until you give her good cause to turn you and everything around you to ashes.
Much like the Regency just did to COST's villa, and to their Commander, Grothia -- a real shabti herself, escaped from her creators, helping to lead the fight against them, not someone merely acting the role of one of the Regency's clone-slaves.
Using the BCE1, Daenerys and several of her friends and fellow abductees recruited willing and able help from among other COST members, until they arrived at a plan. Breaking into several teams, they would create a significant distraction near the Regency compound, sneak in, drug and abduct Kebechet... and use PASIV technology to try to get into her head.
After that... well, before Grothia's abduction, when Daenerys approached Grothia for permission for the operation, Grothia had strongly implied that it could only end in Kebechet's death. And Mordred is involved, which makes the chances that Kebechet will walk away at the end almost infinitesimal.

[What can they DO with it aside from giving it some kind of honorable burial?
Do the spiders even have lichyards?
Would she want to be buried here on Jhashch?]
no subject
We should burn her. Fire is power.
[ Anything to erase the wrongs done to her. ]
no subject
I never know enough about these people. Any of them.
no subject
Until then, we should move her and find Kebechet's BCE.
no subject
Are we going to cut the BCE out of her?
[By this point, Kebechet is very much headless, but something is happening to the head, and it seems like a good idea to stay well away from it.]
no subject
[ She's looking up at him sharply, frowning. ]
It was a fate she'd accepted, but she didn't want it. As for Kebechet's BCE, I suppose we'll have to.
Assuming we can find it.
[ She's watching the head as well. Some strange matter seems to be melting out of Kebechet's orfices. ]

Defeating them meant more to her than her own life.
[And Jon? He just looks tired, something that intensifies a little when they start talking about the prospect of digging around in Kebechet's remains with a knife. Mutilating corpses like that is a step or two further than he would go for any reason other than absolute necessity, or the madness of battle.]
What's it doing?
[Nothing good. But it seems to be self-mutilating, if that's even possible.]
zombie movie
[ She grows tired of the lag time between reading and sending mind ravens. However private it is, it's not all that private, is it? Just the same as them remaining in a room with their allies, with Araneans all around them.
It's easier to move on from the topic of Grothia, so she pushes to her feet and steps closer to the... seemingly melting head. ]
I've never seen something like this before. It's like whatever's inside her skull... melted?
no subject
[He watches the head pop and fizzle with an expression of extreme distaste.]
no subject
We need a very long stick.
no subject
I have Longclaw, but I don't think --
[Another look at the head, even more skeptical. Is there something out there that can break Valyrian steel?
Probably not. He steps back and unsheathes his sword, which still has a small smear of blood on it from earlier in the evening.]
I don't know what it is.
[He prods the head very gently with the tip of the blade, which does nothing at all to either the head or the blade, for good or bad.]
no subject
Nothing happens. ]
I don't understand. Should we inspect her body? Did the Regency do this to her, or is it what she is?
no subject
[In the dream they shared, he means.]
She spoke of wolves and lions.
no subject
[ She looks at him, silent. ]
She spoke of a great many things.
no subject
[He looks at the way the head continues to move and ooze.]
-- Will it harm the Araneans to eat the rest of her?
vaguely waves hands about anatomy and beng eaten ig
[ A very disturbing state. She falls quiet again, then calls Irriella over. ]
I wonder if there's a corpse they would refuse to eat. Tala?
[ Irriella, who towers over them both now, clicks her mandibles. ]
Lady Mother should consume her enemy's corpse. It is only right after proper battle.
cw Game of Thrones (seriously, apologies in advance, don't read this)
People don't eat each other. It's not our custom.
Would you eat Lady Mother's enemy? Not the head, but the rest of her, as long as it's safe for you to do it.
You can't do it here; you'll have to do it where the others can't see you. They won't like to see it. But you can share it with Jeyne's friends if you're willing.
[Having to say this makes him feel as tired as anything else has this night. He opens a message to Dany again:]
I want somewhere dark and quiet.
