Huh! Congrats Motree! How hard was it to get in?

Well, it's tentative. And thanks. I didn't get nixed immediately, so there's that.

As for how hard, I struggled with a microphone and what I was doing for like six hours before I decided "fuck it" and attempted to one-shot the whole thing at 1:30 in the morning. Because I have had absolutely no vocal training in my life, auditioned on impulse, and only really have the benefit of genetics and a mother who used to work in music theater in the Cleveland area attempting to give me advice at 10:00 PM.

And it was kind of hard because like neither of the octaves are in my range. Low octave is like at literally the bottom of my register and the normal octave is haha no way I'm pretty sure my neck would explode. Because yeah, I'm pretty much an alto. And tend to get way too into it and pitchy. I will admit I was dancing around a bit while recording. Benefits of a standing mic. Not only do I sound like an asshat, I look like an asshat too.

I think I veered a little off there. It's 2:30 talking.

And yet you managed to do so anyway. Maybe you're better than you thought

Or not, who knows. Might as well think you have the potential though

Aren't you used to theater at least?

EDIT: Also, 2:30, really? Plz, I'm up till like 6. Git gud motree

Motree, I could kiss you. You have made Christmas come early with that post.

That is exactly what I want to see, visceral reaction and action, no half-measures!

-is very excited to continue with this endeavour now-

Mistral just needs to be told to try to logout now, or nagged about it. Then she'll try :p

Anura, buddy oh pal, my favorite of annies. Doooooon't suppose you'd be willing to do me a favor, pretty please?

Why don't you put your name on Broken Bow's recommendation list right over here?

You too GCR

I think it has enough recs already.

Too much descriptive reccs are tiresome, but there's plenty of room for more signs next to it.~

Noob you're not a Youtuber, you don't have to do plugs.

Mainly the non-acting side of theater. Stage, light, and sound technician. Mainly lights. And then I've played in pit orchestra. Now, my flute/piccolo skills are something I like to brag about, but I won't.

Also, don't rag, man. I had a 12-hour shift the next day.

Holy- thanks. I wasn't expecting to get called out and complimented on that post. Pretty neato.

I dunno, I've always felt that with stuff like that you almost need a visceral reaction in your character, or rather, that's the fun in those kinds of situations. What I like best about this whole thing is that it's kind of uncharted ground for the knifey bastard; in most situations, he can liken it to something he's already experienced or seen to come up with a solution or explanation. But if he can't do that, it's out of his comfort zone and the neurotic panic starts to set in. Needless to say, I was giggling like a six-year-old schoolgirl being given a pony with a jetpack and aviator shades on her birthday when you posted.

That being said, if you get any ideas that would pertain to him specifically - or rather, how to screw with his head and make him feel like an even bigger pile of shit after he comes back to his senses - then I am all on board with it seeing as I am a bit of a sadist and just love to see my own characters writhe and break. Like I dunno how far the tendrilly static whatever thingies screwing with everyone right now can affect one's mind, buuuuuuuuuuut if you want to take it further, I am happy to comply. I live to write those psychological, visceral reactions to that kind of horror. Well, maybe not quite live, but you get the idea.

Also, quick question; in the inevitable situation where the non-affected party members fight back, how are the affected ones going to perceive that? Or are you saving that for a later post?

Spent the day traveling around the Taichung province of Taiwan. Started with an Earthquake museum, built on the sight of very destructive 7.3 Ricter quake, with a death toll of nearly 2,500, 29 people who are still missing 15 years after it happened (Sept. 21, 1999), and costing NT$300 billon in damages. In American that would be TEN billion.

Afterwards went to this place that was famous for its pineapple cake, mostly because its right next to a pineapple farm. They grew a few other things, like a berry that seemed to be the lovechild of a strawberry and a grape, and oolong tea. However, I had just pineapple icecream. After stopping at a few good photo spots, we came to a museum on the various endemic species that live in Taiwan. The building used to a government building that gave out logging permits. Then we actually went to an actual former logging and mining town! XD

Why irony?

Because a building formerly used to facilitate logging, and thus the destruction of several species, now facilitates the protection of said species?

Taiwan's a cool place. Did you taste the night markets?

I've seen them, and looked around them, but the only thing I brought from them were some vendor meats on a stick, including squid on a stick.

Well, things are taking interesting turns in the Tea Party gathering.

So, watching Young Justice to see Klarion at work.

Also, I'll get around to getting Desco a squad of Demon Ninja. They come with Poison and Stun, but they are also adept at Magic such as what Desco just learned. Though they don't learn Magic naturally in the game mechanics one would normally reincarnate a Skull or Mage into a Ninja to get the basics which is very easy to do.

Demon Ninjas are known best for their loyalty to their master.

@Ud: You wanna do a couple more posts with Desco? Or I can have Desco go out to meet new Overlords. Though the timeskip is soon anyway :P.

Geez its quiet. In any case it looks like Desco will have to kill Klarion through physical force. I doubt her magic casting will phase him, though he may find the foreign magical system interesting.

So, doublepost but..

Do we have a complete list of who is entering the DC Marvel challenge and what super villains they are taking?

Tesseract is going for whoever owns AIM.

Argetina's goalkeeper looks like a hairy Vaas.

-tips hat-

You're welcome. When someone hits it out of the park like that, especially when it's in response to dramatic stimuli such as that, I feel inclined to applaud it.

I am quite pleased as well that you're enjoying the progressively worsening nightmare laid out in those chambers. It's really all about perception and stimuli, and you can do much with that, reality warping or no. I rather enjoy inflicting terror and dread on characters, where situations of wonder and awe are not appropriate. In settings such as this, it becomes a challenge to wring emotions from experienced characters. My goal is to make the unflappable flap, and the elegant stagger. So, it will be my pleasure to oblige you.

As for the perception of the fighting back... Heheheheheh, Haahahhahahah!

By the by, those things assaulting you? You'll find out more information as events progress. Answers, and more questions.

Rivux. Where aaaare you?

I'm not very quick on the draw when it comes to writing prose posts (or just quick at writing them at all usually), sorry about that. Gonna get to writing that Owain post now.

Oh, we get to pick who our Overlords go after?

Might as well have Aku hang out with Shuma-Gorath (The Mv C 3 version at least). I feel like they'd get along fairly well.

Isn't Shuma kinda.. stronger than everything? :P. I mean, reading his power list includes unspecified Reality Warping

What is Aku doing right this moment?

edited 13th Jul '14 2:40:36 PM by StephanReiken

Good point, time to find some other less-than serious Eldritch Abomination

And Aku is doing absolutely nothing as I haven't posted for him recently.

edited 13th Jul '14 2:54:43 PM by Eachiunn

Well, there was that time he was easily beaten up by a C-List tiger god thing... probably countless others as well.
