Tropers: The Series discussion thread

Also 1,000 post!

~ II Test Tube Fan ~ Tropers/noodlesnook New episode started! Sorry it took this long. You two can join whenever you wish. Once we've seen some of your RP we'll let you know whether we think you'd be right to join permanently.

~ noodlesnook augh i keep getting the ping formatting wrong lol

wait augh i got it wrong THAT time as well this ping syntax is going to be the death of me

~noodlesnook ~II Test Tube Fan okay so the episode started here, about five pages ago. The plot is that the tropers are being forced to remake old episodes by the executives. they're currently remaking episode 1 ,and they're in a fireworks store getting fireworks for their landlord (i think you should be able to follow along without actually knowing anything about the old episodes, the idea is for them to go massively off the rails anyway, but let me know if you need help)

might also ping ~aPod-ofSeals just cause you might not have been paying attention what with the thread going inactive tor so long until now

sorry about this all

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention to all you guys, I'm traveling at the moment and also sick so I haven't had much of a chance to post in a while. Will try to check the thread as much as possible. Sorry if it seemed I wasn't paying attention.

Kind of want to join in so, here it is

I'm basicly going to play my Author Avatar, which is the Bulb'm that I made on a Bulb Creature Picrew. It will be shareing the same name as me, Aspen.

Aspen's tail allows her to pick up objects by curling her tail around it or by making a hook with her tail and putting her tail through a hole in an object.

Aspen can't talk entirely, but she can understand human language. Aspen can "speak" if a translator collor is put on her. With the collar on, her voice sounds squeaky but tranquil. Without the collar, Aspen "speaks" in a Pokemon Speak high-pitched welping tone. I will be translating the latter for convenience sake.

I kind of want Aspen's introduction to be a reference to an episode of Manga Sekai Mukashibanash entitled "The Cunning Rabbit" I don't mind if this plot is either used for a future episode or for a b-plot down the line, as I will be going on vacation tomorrow as of the time of makeing this post. But mostly, here's how it will go down:

The group goes to a town, for any reason basicly, where the town seems to have an issue with their well. A person tells them that a strange creature has been stealing their water at night ever since the well was built, but no one can get their hands on them and if it keeps up, the town will have no water left. The group decides to help out to stop the creative and after a meeting, they decided to have a single person guard the well for the night.

That night, the guard was looking out for the strange creature, but nothing. As the moon reached its highest point in the she, the guard began to hear a strange Pokemon-like noise. Wondering what it is, the guard leaves to look for the sound. Aspen comes out of hideing, and after looking to make sure no one's around, she takes a drink from the well and disappeares into the night.

The next evening, the group decides to let another person guard the well. After hearing what happens to the previous guard, they decided to take precautions to prevent themselves from failing. That night the second guard prepares theirselves by putting earbuds in the ears to not hear the Pokemon-like sound, keeping their eyes open wide. Suddenly a pendulum dangles in front of the guard and it slowly swings in front of them. The guard tries to ignore it, but finds it impossible to do so, and the guard ends up falling asleep. The camera pans up to Aspen in a tree, revealing that she was holding the pendulum by her tail and was the one swinging it in front of the guard. She puts it away and goes to get some water from the well.

The next morning, the group decides that if they keep sending a single person to guard the well, the creature will become to difficult to capture. After a few ideas, the group decides to make a trap for the creature by makeing a human-like dummy out of tar and set it up by the well.

That night, Aspen heads towards the well and notices the dummy and stares at it, not recognizing the new "guard". Decideing that it will be easy, Aspen begins to speak in her Pokemon Speak in hopes to lure it off like to what she did the first guard, but it doesn't move nor respond to the sounds. Next, Aspen decides to hypnotize the dummy and climbs a tree and wraps the pendulum's string around her tail and begins to swing it back and forth in hopes of putting the dummy to sleep. But, the dummy didn't move or react to the pendulum. Aspen drops the pendulum in surprise and rushes up to the dummy. She felt like she must attack it, but she held in her anger. Aspen greeted the dummy, but the dummy didn't respond. She tells the dummy that their being rude, but the dummy still didn't say anything. Thinking the dummy doesn't know how to greet someone, Aspen shows the dummy how to take off a hat and say hello, but the dummy still didn't say a work. All that anger bottled up inside Aspen had opened up, and without thinking she attacks the dummy, saying that it's being a brat. But Aspen's paw is stuck to the dummy. She tries to pull, but the paw wouldn't go anywhere. She attacks it with her other paw, but that stuck as well. She kicks it with her two paws, and they also got stuck. Aspen, realizing that it's a trap, starts to struggle and begins pulling back to hopefully get free, but the dummy lands on her. Decideing to finish the battle, Aspen headbutts the dummy, getting tar all over herself, untill she was completely covered in tar.

The group reveals themselves and makes fun of her that she fell for the trap. Aspen attempts to talk, but since her speak isn't understood by humans, they can't understand a thing. The group, realizing that they can't understand her, they leaves a few members behind so the rest can go to a store to get a translation collor for Aspen, and after giveing her a bath to remove the tar off of her, they put it on. Aspen explains that there was a drought that happened in the area, before the group arrived to the town and a meeting was held and Aspen was among the people there. She was the one who suggested that the town should dig a well so they can get water by digging at the ground. But, Aspen was too lazy and didn't want to get her fur dirty from digging the well, so the town decided to not let Aspen drink from the well and to call Aspen a monster, to which Aspen has regretted not helping the others. Aspen asks them if they can join with them and the group agrees, with the lantern that she carries would be useful in the future.

God damn that was long.

Thought you were a mod, my bad

Sorry about that. This was written before I went to bed, but I had an idea to do an introduction for Aspen and this is what I came up with.

I know that the group is trying to make fireworks, or at least starting to make them.

I will also be on vacation starting tomorrow, so I will be doing that mentioned plot at a different time, as I want to enjoy my vacation as much as I can. For now untill then, Aspen will be makeing cameos untill her introduction comes into play.

~Taco Badger Can I please have an invite to the Discord server? I would like to join, as it seems fun.

Hi, so I think all this sounds really cool and the sort of thing I vibe with, so I'd like to join. My Character:

Emerald (Em or Emmy) Micheals

Species: Human?

Age: Unclear, she always says "legal" Height: 5'5"

Weight: "You think I take time outta my day to stand on a thing for a minute that's supposed to discern my self-worth? I could do something productive in that minute!" Average weight

Other Things: Autistic, high functioning but she carries noise-canceling headphones at all times just in case. They had to study some social cues. Has Green Thumb powers, but it takes stamina to do. Uses She/her and They/them pronouns, but is fine with whichever is more natural/default for others. Can't draw to save her life so they always use picrews or other dollmakers for her sonas.

I'd like to join in.

Here's my character:

Garreth Lorwania

Gender: Male

Appearance: Garrett has red, somewhat curled hair and freckles. He's about 5'8 and is a somewhat skinny-looking dude

Personality: Garrett is obsessed with the 90s-early 2000s years and has some trouble with modern technology. He still uses a pager, owns multiple old consoles like an NES, an SNES and a PS 1, and has a computer running Windows 2000.

Also, he has a collection of games and VHS tapes, and is a neat freak who does not like it when people track mud into his house or put his collections in disarray.

Garrett also likes to have people over at his house and is a good cook who always wants to impress others… sometimes to his own detriment.

Despite this, he is quite knowledgeable about things like geography, and history. He cannot draw for shit, but he loves music.

Favorite foods: Pizza, nachos.
