Welcome to Nowhere discussion: Now go sign up!

First post like a bass. That was supposed to be urban phonetic spelling of 'boss' but apparently spellcheck thinks I speak like a fish.

Well, it's 9pm down here :)

It's 2:39 AM here.

Oh right, I'm nocturnal.

I just realized my character and the vampire bar have the same name. So the bar is now called Ron's.

Dear god, this all happened last night? I feel so left out.

It's a bit late, but if I could put my two cents into the blood debate; Wilde has angelic AND demonic blood. If everyone were donating, I'd imagine spiritually-charged blood could tide them over.

Also, forgive me if my first post is painful to read. It's been a long time; I think that it'll be competent/standard, but my apologies in advance if it isn't.

I think vampires can only drink human/mammal blood. That's how I've always seen it in fiction.

How many fictional stories have you read that includes angels, demons, and vampires?

Marvel Universe, Buffy, GURPS Monster Hunters,Technically Homestuck, Sort of Dresden Files, Preacher. General consensus is that they attack humans because they can't drink the blood of supernaturals.

It seems that you are more well-versed than I am. However, I once read the Vampire Diaries. Stefan could drink Elena's blood when she was a spirit. Supernaturals are different in every story. In the Diaries, vampires can drink the blood of other vampires, in The Saga of Darren Shan, vampiric blood is poisonous.

Ultimately, it's up to us, or you, I suppose.

Oh yeah that's a good question. What are the rules for every race as far as weaknesses and all that stuff goes. The list in topic was sorta vague for some of them.

I assume all the standard stuff. Silver for lycanthropes, white ash for Skinwalkers, all the standard stuff for vampires.

This would make for some interesting equipment for the police and paramilitary forces. For instance, I imagine Tristan carries a clip of silver-jacketed bullets and has taken mandatory stake training.

That and crosses would be classed in the same category as automatic weapons. XD

Hm, everyone seems to have posted sans Tools, who is taking his/her precious time rewriting that character. . . Can we go ahead and time skip until six thirty or so?

Also, what season is it? If nothing's designated, I'm assuming early autumn.

I had the former mentioned in my signup. I didn't think of the latter, but that's a good idea.

posted :O

Another thought: magic-cancelling restraints would probably be standard for Nowhere cops too. (That is, restraints that prevent those wearing them from casting magic.)

If such things could exist, anyway.

That's probably a thing, yeah. I can imagine getting them on a wizard would be difficult though.

And on any other creature, really, including cats :/ But if you equate wizards with armed criminals, it's pretty much equal ground. Wizards shoot spells, armed criminals shoot bullets, and by the time you get the handcuffs on them it's more about immobilising them than preventing them from performing magic/shooting you.

I guess? :D

Beginning to think having a character that is unable to be active most of the time was a.bad idea.

I dislike sitting in town hall alone. Unless I started some introspective (which I'm not very good at) I really can't post until we present a time skip or something.

Exe: Do the buffy thing and say you can walk around as long as you have a bag over your head or something.

. . .

Sunblock.

Though it's also a matter of half the players just sort of standing around until the meeting starts.

Hey guys, is stuff going to happen?

Sorry, once this thing with Tristan and the cat's done, I'd be all up for a time skip.

So, @Aralyn: Think we could speed this up a bit for the other guys?

I just got on, sorry :D And sure, I'd be up for that :)

By the way, the issue with Tristan releasing the evil demon the size of a mountain is that the demon will totally consume Tristan if Tristan releases him.

Black doesn't hate him or anything, it's just he's a demon who's been starved of life force for a century or two. He'd probably rampage on anyone he sees for a mile, it's nothing personal :) I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear, but! it'll be easy enough to slap that collar back onto the demon somewhere before Black does eat him, honest (50/50 odds)!

But back to seriousness, I don't mind which one you'd rather; Tristan deciding not to unlock him or Tristan unlocking him and having to snap the collar back on before he eats him. In fact, you might be going with the latter choice and I'm just overreacting :S but I just wanted to be sure.

Tristan is keeping his other hand near a magic-cancelling restraint between the two seats, in case I was too subtle in my post. Not that that'll necessarily help him, but he's not completely unready here.

Although, two things: If the collar is easy to snap back on, does that mean he doesn't actually change size all that much? And if the collar is really holding back something that important, I would imagine it might have some sort of magical defense against some dude just taking it off.

I mean, your character technically your decision.

...:( Now I feel a bit silly...though I am a bit concerned about how much effect they'll have on Black, buut...

Well, you don't necessarily have to snap it onto his neck for it to work one of his many limbs would work ;). And the thing is someone takes it off of their own free will, I think. And the person who died didn't expect to die so early...

And, well, odds are in favour of Black killing Tristan before the collar can go back on, but we're too early in the RP for that to happen. Tristan still has MC immunity :D

As you can tell, I didn't think this through. But I do have a vague explanation, so...:)
