[Fortuna]: Luck depends on no one....right? (4/3)

Operation Cakeruiner
_{it doesn't make sense to follow along with anything the people who're trying to kill us are doing, this party is gonna get fartyed!}

-Tell O o o o about your intention to just wreck the party and make everything miserable, and to go full hog on anything they're planning, suggesting cooperation. Also tell O o o o to check for any devices the two Dali representatives might've left behind, in case they're targeting O o o o for something.

-Ask blu's crew for help. Athena, you can get Latta to do it; the reason being that if this world ends and our crew dies, it doesn't matter that they are our competitors since we'd both be equally dead. Right now we need to improve chances of not dying. We can ask them that in exchange for helping them get off planet, they can do something risky for us that we don't want to risk, like scouting out the slabs beforehand to gather intel.

-Mobilize an army of husses and other local artists to crash the party. We're gonna arrive early, and have our party overshadow their party and just piss all over everything. This way if they're planning something they won't be ready to have us yet.

-If Cea doesn't like being around so many poor people, they can go off and do some scouting too; they're fast and a 'personnel' person so they should do their job for once. Bonus points if we can re-establish communications with edel and the ship.

-Marble: collaborate with Rivet on any tactical weaknesses on Dali's compound, any intelligence gathered, and the best way to ruin their party. Also ask about any Didaskaloi medical services that could be rendered to Cleo's body.

-If someone has to watch over for Cleo, ask Bob to do it for now, as they're an ai and not susceptible to catching anything Cleo might have. Also ask if Bob can render any special services to the plan.

-Nikki: give us insight on your techniques of how to be as offputting as possible in social situations to better ruin parties. Also maybe you can build either some kind of bomb or gun or something? Or some sort of makeshift transportation that would get us to the slabs faster? What kinda items you got on you, check inventory

Earlier suggestion, still in play

>Have at least one person stay behind and watch the party from afar, in case they're bluffing about the world ending and are trying to like, trap all the artists and harness their creative powers for some sort of doomsday device. Have this person also set to crash the party and wreck a bunch of stuff, just in case. In fact, have everyone going to the party make up a plan to crash it and ruin a bunch of stuff. (O o o o also seems like the kind of person who might already have their mind made up to ruin a party on general principle, but we don't control them.) Marble could collaborate with Rivet on the best plan for Tactical Party Ruining.

Okay so here's some further reasoning:

SpoilerShow

It doesn't make sense to assume that the party is to celebrate the inevitable end of the world; it makes sense to assume it's a trap of some sort and that they're lying about some part of it. If it's not inevitable, and they're bluffing on some part of it, then we have a better chance to throw a wrench in the works of whatever their plan is as opposed to everyone fallling exactly into the places they need for whatever their plan is to succeed.

If a villain says "oh yes heroes, come to witness my glory, let's get everyone in one place," maybe they have something that can only affect a certain area, and they need everyone to get into one place for it to work. Or maybe they need All The Planets to Align or something to concentrate their power with the eclipse, or they have to power their device with the gathered talents of everyone in one place or some shit for their thing to work.

We don't know that they have a surefire world ending device/technique, and anyway, why should we wait for 3 days for the exact moment they're planning for everyone to arrive at? We shouldn't make it easy for them. Don't play by the rules; we have a big ol dada guy we can use to our advantage in pissing all over everything dali's people are working for so that even if death is inevitable (which it isn't), at least we went down making the people responsible miserable.
