Si Vis Votum - Discussion

Well, currently, everyone is in the village that the Fire Nation took over; specifically, in the bunker where they're storing their tanks and two airships. The team has split up in order to take out the airships, since despite the Doctor whining about how they shouldn't interfere, this technology is just too powerful to let loose on the rest of the Avatar's world. Rock/Megaman found the chunk of the Wish the team was looking for, a bunch of animals have been let loose on one of the airships, Azula's trying to kill everyone, the device Scott and Kirby found is powered up and kickin' kiester, and Hazama's 'Red Oni, Blue Oni' situation with the Doctor has intensified ever since Hazama killed a guy with his Ouroboros power. Oh, and the 'Gaang' definitely don't believe that the Votum crew are villagers, spirits, or whatever other lie the Doctor's told them, but things are too chaotic and they're too much of a help to worry about the truth.

Was that a sufficient enough summary? Perhaps we should have a Summary page for this on the wiki, considering that we already have a Roleplay and Character page...

We should update that trope page, shouldn't we?

Deady, might I suggest Pit was accidentally transported back to the ship? Things are too messy now for her to suddenly come back.

OK, I'll roll with that.

*reads*

...Well, shit. Didn't See That Coming.

Yeah. Been staring at it for a while trying to figure out how to get Scott to react. I'm stuck between some form of anger or indifference

Alright. I think I nailed Nega-Scott's reaction.

Took me a while to figure out how that was going to happen. I knew Azula would kill Fate, but the question was "why". First idea was a heroic sacrifice, taking the Doctor's place, but the Doctor had a barrier, so no dice. Second idea was the Doctor trying to push her away, and Fate would push back and get hit, but that came off as dumb.

Then I snapped my fingers and realized: they're facing off agaist Azula, a crafty heartless person. She simply stood there, listening, and decided to test- fire a bolt at the ceiling, then shoot the person that was pushed away.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why you never, ever make the Doc mad.

Also, I'd like to point out that Scott actually does have an extra life. So if you ever need to Strat, you can have a free shot at killing him without losing him as a character

Right, I'm going to post tonight, so new guys, get ready. Your characters will be appearing soon.

Okay, I will be ready...too bad about Fate. I'm starting to wish I'd asked to play White Mage from 8-Bit Theater.

You can have two characters, but it's best if you start with just one.

Understood. In the future, I'd like to confirm right now that I already understand that game breaker characters are right out. So, I won't ask for any one like DBZ Goku, Evil Superman, various versions of Alucard, BunBun, or THE REI.

We ready to introduce the new characters?

Yep.

Speaking of Characters, I was updating the 'Characters' page on the main wiki to include all of the new guys, when I realized that I should probably include a bit about the 'Gaang'. They're currently under the 'NPC' folder, but should we split it up into Canon Worlds NP Cs and Votum Crew NP Cs? Or is it too early to be an issue, and, as I do daily in my regular life, I'm worrying too much?

I'm back!

What's happened in my absence?

Azula struck down Fate, causing The Doctor to go ballistic and knock her out with his bare hands. The airships have safely landed, Doc made everyone promise not to tell Subaru (who was on the other airship at the time) how Fate died, since she'd probably go on an even worse rampage. As the groups try to return to the Votum, Toph is getting tired of the Doctor's habit of lying to the Gaang, and Hazama is using all of his willpower not to gloat about how his worldview has clearly been proven superior to the Doctor's "trust that everyone, even you enemies, will always do the right thing unless provoked" ideas. Also, Sign-Ups have been reopened, and new characters are appearing on the Votum (at least one of which is from an entirely new player, OriginalPL2).

Again, I'm really starting to think that this Roleplay needs a Summary page...

This might not be the last time Azula appears, by the way. Let's just say the Votum has some... interesting rooms. Also, I won a scholarship! And you should check this out.

@Alleydodger: What did you mean by "dropped" in your previous post?

After helping Nana with her arm North walked over to wally and picked Flutterrush up off of him to help him up. He didn't really think she was anything more than a strange talking pegasus.

Actually I changed my post so that instead of actually being ON Wally, she merely bumped into him. And now after wondering around she tackled Pit.

Ah ok. Better get to changing my post then.

It's odd. When I started playing Chibizama, I was worried because he's based on a complex villain, and I've rarely played any villainous roles at all in the past. But now that I have a cheery and hyperactive Claptrap to play with, it feels odd to go into a dark and depressing rant only to switch to the complete opposite tone for a quick sentence or two at the end of a post. I'll probably get used to it, but I just felt like sharing my opinion.

...Oh, and I might be on a little less frequently for the next month or so. Since this laptop with wi-fi I'm now using is much faster and far less glitchy than my old computer, I've been on it for long periods of time, and the bill might get a little steep if I don't pace myself. I'll certainly be on at least once a day, but if something major happens in the plot, feel free to keep things moving without waiting for me to catch up.

Ah, I see.

...I'm not sure how my characters would react to that particular event.

Just to let everyone know, for the next couple of days or so I might not be around here much because my city is in the way of Hurricane Sandy and I have a suspicion that I may have a power outage when the storm hits despite mostly flood warnings and my house being on high ground.
