IN-DEPTH THREAD RECAPS (LOUIS)

---

 SNOW IS AWFUL w/ Isla Triton  || completed, first thread/Lisla /Main Plot tie-in

  -- It was another chilly day at Seacombe Halpworth and in order to escape the snow storm the most unlikely pair found themselves sharing a plate of quiche at the local cafe, Minnie's. This thread didn't necessarily have a happy ending though, after divulging their life stories to each other Isla nearly stormed out, feeling insulted by Louis's less than happy attitude towards royals. After talking it out however the pair agreed to try again at Gusteau's shortly afterward leading to the thread, "The Banquet's All Prepared." This thread also had an unimportant tie to the sitewide plot at the time, with cloaked figures running unnaturally fast past the window and into the woods. 

HAVE ANY SPARE SOULS? w/ Aristeides || completed, Precursor to Eli's Kidnapping

  -- There is one downside to having friends on the other side, they aren't very patient when it comes to filling the souls quota. Louis was down on his luck and needed a helping hand in securing his safety and appeasing the Loa, so who better to turn to when needing a couple of forgotten souls than the daughter of death himself; Aristeides? After meeting in the Casey Jr. Theatre, these two villains brokered a deal that gave Louis the souls he needed while in return Ari managed to secure herself one restriction free use of the Loa. Also as a result the both of them agreed to an alliance of sorts where the two villains would work together to remind the heroes just who exactly was in charge of the school. Just offscreen was the planning of Eli's abduction.

THE BANQUET'S ALL PREPARED w/ Isla Triton || completed, Lisla/Hijacked by Main Plot

  -- Successor to "Snow is Awful." Since the last meal almost ended on a sour note, Louis invited Isla to join him for "real french food" at Gusteau's restaurant. However before the two of them could even order news broke that their was a problem in the village and the entire complex had to be immediately evacuated. Once the couple made outside they were ushered back towards the school by staff and security, however they did manage to catch a glance of a group of young adults being arrested at the edge of the village. One of them had fiery red hair. This thread was continued with "What Are You Doing Here?"

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? w/ Isla Triton , Azalea , & James Florian || comp, Main Plot
 -- Immediately following "The Banquet's All Prepared" and "A New Fantasic Point of View" (SEE JAMES) the three royals and one villain run into each other just outside the village gates where a very heated discussion of what just happened occurred. Louis was made aware of the strange things that the royals had spotted up until that point with included, but was not limited to; strangers in the gardens and courtyard as well as a torn picture from an old school year book. The idea of assigning a sentry to keep an eye on things in the village and also breaking into the school records were also suggested, but were wisely rejected. Everyone left to prepare for prom, unaware that the villain was currently planning to kidnap the only royal in attendance. Louis's anti-royal notions peaked in this thread with his encounter with James and his sword. 

PROM w/ EVERYONE (registered and active) || completed, Lisla's end / Eli's kidnapping
 -- It's prom season at Seacombe Halpworth and the theme was Starry, Starry Night which lit up the eyes of young lovers and hid the demonic friends of Louis Facilier. After arriving sans-Isla, Louis and the Loa prepared for the villain's plans to shake things up at the school, namely by kidnapping the one royal who had no enemies, Areli "Eli" Triton. Unaware of the danger, Isla's heart was broken when she saw Louis walk in with Aristeides on his arm, but was momentarily forgotten when she and Azalea won the title of Prom Queens with their King being the main man of the hour. Contrary to what happened at the winter ball where Ari threw a hissy fit when she lost the crown to Isla, she stayed relatively calm until she momentarily set the stage on fire; which disorientated the winners and allowed the Loa to steal the prince from right under their noses. From there Louis disappeared out the back door to meet their quandary at the lake to offer him the deal of a lifetime.  Afterwards, he rejoined Aristeides in the walk back to the dorms, laughing about the crimes they had committed and unaware of how this would really change everything, especially between him and Isla who is Eli's cousin. 

THE DEAL OF A LIFETIME w/ Eli Triton || completed, unpublished / Eli's kidnapping
 -- Secret Thread between myself, Jordan, and Shini regarding the side plot of Eli's abduction. This thread occurred during the course of the main thread "Prom," and as a result was only a few posts. Louis had just finished playing his father's card game with Eli and was now waiting for the Prom king to decide if he was going to trust the shadow kid's offer on the table; Eli could receive a mermaid's tale with, seemingly, no strings attached as it was shown on the tarot card Louis had given to the prince. However what Eli couldn't see in his blind exhilaration all the strings that were secretly attached that would keep him away from his friends for as long as the villains wished. He foolishly accepted the deal and was given the tail he so desperately wanted at the cost of his freedom and his voice. This thread was main to put both of on us on the same page as to what would happen at this crucial point of the side plot and also to set up the limitations that would keep Eli bound to the lake. It would have been published for all to read, but however it was kept secret only because it would have revealed what happened to Eli before the time was right... Sorry guys xD jk not really. Your reactions were priceless. 

MEN DON'T HAVE POINTY TEETH w/ Cosimia Gothel || inactive, unlikely to be revived
 -- Although this thread took place after the events at prom and before "I'm Going Slightly Mad," there was no mention of the fish prince here. A short, unspoken, amount of time has passed since the disappearance of Eli and Louis Facilier finds himself sitting in the Lounge, flicking through his father's old tarot card deck. He however runs across Naveen's old card, which was the first domino to fall in the tale of how everything in Louis's life went horribly wrong. Blinded by the volatile emotions that the memories stir up, Louis attempts to burn the card, but ends up burning his hand instead. Luckily he wasn't alone in the lounge as Cosimia rushes over to help the stupid boy and thus ensues an insightful conversation that tackles who is really the villains in these twisted fairy tales and the definitions of grief & family among other things. These two villains commiserated over the loss of their loved ones and formed a bond that was just as strong as any other on the site, even with the two promising to be each other's new brother and sister.  This was also one of my personal favorites as it allowed for Louis to garner a bit of sympathy for a change. However as Mouse has since gone inactive it will most likely never be finished. 

LET'S MAKE A DEAL w/ Isla Triton  || complete, Lisla / Eli's Kidnapping
 -- It has been several days since the Prince Areli's abduction, and Louis Facilier couldn't be doing any better. After all he's now once again one of the most feared villains on campus and just as long as his father's talisman is hanging around his neck, there's nothing that can bring him down. Well nothing that is, save for the girl he had almost dared to fall in love with breaking into his room to beg her not-boyfriend to give her cousin back. That's a real downer now isn't it? In this thread Isla came to Louis with the intent of bribing the bokor into giving her cousin back, but after being confronted with each other for the first time again leads the conversation into a bitter back and forth over Louis's true intentions with Isla and also his choice of arm candy when it came to the night under the stars. After both had been thoroughly insulted by their lover's quarrel, Isla stormed out leaving Louis with his own dangerous thoughts. In an fit of emotion, Louis also threw his amulet against the dorm door, while cursing out both his own rotten luck and the Loa for making him lose the one person who had ever cared for him. 

WICKED WAYS w/ Cyrille LeFoux  || Inactive, leaving it for dead.
 -- Even long after "Let's Make a Deal" concluded, Mr. Baptiste-Facilier is still feeling the sting of losing Isla to Ari's plan to exact revenge on the school. Desperate to keep his mind off the pretty fish princess, Louis finds himself in The Black Dragon downing glass after glass of what may or may not be alcohol when a certain sidekick falls from the rafters. Wanting to discover what Cyrille really knows about the plan due to him being Ari's sidekick, Louis then pretends to be full on drunk to get the egotistic frenchman to reveal his secrets. (This thread was never completed.)

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER w/ Adrienne || ongoing, Ties to Eli's Kidnapping / Deal making 
 -- When Louis's grades start to slip, after something's got to give when you're planning a coup of the social order, he's assigned to remedial tutoring with none other than the original bookworm's daughter herself; princess Adrienne. Although all she wants to do is see this villain complete his school work, he has other plans and soon tempts the princess into making a deal with the devil. At the moment he's promised to make her just like her mother in exchange for some gold bracelets. Which is a pretty good deal figuring since Louis knows that Adrienne won't change at all, save for learning the lesson to never trust the shadow kid. (Will be updated when completed.)

GIVE ME THE AMULET w/ Isla Triton & James Florian || comp, Lisla/Eli's kidnapping
 -- Having just learned about the source of Louis's powers in "The Empty Seat" (SEE JAMES) Isla managed to corner Louis in the gardens in order to convince him to hand over the key to this whole mess; his father's talisman. Things don't go well for Isla though when Louis reacts badly to the revelation that everyone knows about his secret, and he becomes violent with her in the form of grabbing her arm roughly and leading her to a secluded spot to interrogate her about how she learned about the amulet. Unluckily for them, it turns out a certain little gem had been keeping his eye on the princess and once he saw the altercation he raced out to find her and for once have a solid reason to draw his sword. For reasons unknown, Louis decided to not only give the princess the amulet, but he also revealed to her where Eli had been, without ever outwardly saying it of course.  He then hugged her for what he assumes to be the first and last time before running off to hide from James. From there the royals scatter to muster their friends for the rescue effort since they now know where Eli has been this entire time. 

QUICHE FOR TWO w/ Isla Triton || ongoing,  Lisla's revival/the aftermath of Eli's Kidnapping
 -- Eli Triton has been rescued. He is now safe and sound, guarded by the protection of the friends who refused to give up hope during the trying ordeal and as word spread of what happened Louis has been made into a pariah. The heroes hate him for taking their friend and the villains view him as a traitor because he helped the heroes find the fish prince. Well almost everyone hates him. Isla doesn't know what to think about the villain who stole her cousin. She knows she's supposed to hate him, but for some reason she doesn't. Hoping to clear the air and get some answers that had been plaguing her since their last encounter, the princess catches the villain in his favorite haunt, Minnie's Cafe. There the pair of almost lovers share a plate of his favorite treat and discuss where they stand following this disaster and just what had led Louis to aid Ari in this devilish plan. (Will be updated when completed.)

[Cyrille LeFoux]

Cyrille and James already have a few threads between them, but I do think Cyrille might be intrigued and attracted to Louis. A fellow (sorta) Frenchman, and of the villainous path? What more could a troubled boy with a secret to hide ask for! Of course, Cy would hardly be opposed to a date or two, too.

And if Louis and Ari are close/allies, that would be a good way for them the meet; he's a sort-of sidekick for her (plot ongoing).

[Louis Facilier]

Yeah that seems like a cool idea, however I say we wait on the romance for a little bit. I want to get used to Louis' personality before all sorts of different relationships like that take hold.

[Cyrille LeFoux]

Okay, that's fine! I totally understand.

[Louis Facilier]

Alright do you want to start the thread or would you rather I do it?

(I honestly thought I responded earlier, curse this stupid wifi.)

[Cyrille LeFoux]

After their little 'tussle' in the library, I really wanna do a thread with James and Cyrille - and perhaps Louis and Cy, also? Romantic or not, of course, is up to you. I can see them being friends, if nothing else.

[James Florian]

I'm good with both plots going down however my only concern with James/Cyrille would be the time frame. Do we want to keep it closer to the fight or do you want to keep it closer to the current plot time thingy?

Yeah there probably won't be romance from Louis unfortunately. He's kinda falling for Isla at the moment, but I'm not opposed to the idea of Cyrille maybe having a crush or something. It just won't be reciprocated xD

Ooh ooh I just had an idea how to tie both threads to the current plot. James has been mentioning the villain sidekicks taunting the heroes about Eli's disappearance so maybe Cyrille could do that and as for Louis/Cyrille maybe Cyrille could go to Louis to get details on what happened to Eli. You know villain to villain. XD

So what do you think?

[Cyrille LeFoux]

Niiice I like that idea, tying them together like that! Yeah, those both sound good. Ah, poor Cyrille, with his crushed heart broken nose, after James gets through with him.

[James Florian]

Alright could it be possible for you to start either one or both of the threads? I'm so behind in other posts that I want to spend some time catching up before I throw myself into a new plot xD

[Cyrille LeFoux]

Yeah, definitely! I'll tag ya in em when i have them up.
