Well, there is the Cathedral if you want super isolated. (Not the PMD-B one, this is different.)

Hmm. Orre could work, considering there are no wild mons there and the place is littered with crime. I'm reluctant to try islands because the "stranded on an island" plot seems rather rehash-ish. Firuzland or wherever I'm not familiar with, but if it's as rough as Orre it would also work.

The Under's ruins could work. Though, I'm not sure if that would end up conflicting with the plans I have for there.

OK, figured I might as well post some of my future plans here.

In order of when they'll probably happen...

Magic Mirror Subplot

Sometime after PEFE Exploitation starts, I plan on Umbra and Ammy discovering a Magic Mirror(tm) that leads them to a pocket dimension known as The Land of Makbaliv. There, they are assaulted by an EEEEEEEEEVIL force, and Umbra disappears. Ammy, naturally, goes on a quest to find him, and is joined by a group of mons known as the Seven in an epic plot to stop the ancient evil.

As you may have guessed, this is a tribute. However, I am going out of the box and taking a risk and trying something that ISN'T a video game reference.

It's actually gonna be an Affectionate Parody of various Disney movies. o3o

"Are you CRAZY, Umbra?!" you're likely saying right now. "This is too kiddy for this RP! We might as well do arcs based on Barney and Power Rangers! And you know very well Disney is evil/a fossil of old times/inferior to Grimmified tales!"

But that is exactly the perception I greatly dislike, and hope to subvert with this tribute. (I especially hate how trendy Grimmification has gotten lately; the trope page I just linked to seems to mostly be in favor of it, even. :/ So, this is also meant to be an antidote to that.)

But anyway, enough of me ranting. So far, my only tributes I've got planned are Snow White (Hence "The Seven") and Aladdin (Because Jafarbok is too cheesy a pun to resist. o3o) I need to know two things:

1. Which other movies to affectionately parody. Anything in the Animated Canon is fair game (Not Pixar, sadly), but I'm more likely to pick it if it's at least decent (Or if I have a soft spot/nostalgia for it, like Atlantis the Lost Empire or Dinosaur.)

A. Who wants to do this with me. I'd like someone to tag along or at least play some NP Cs so I'm not doing this by myself.

Now, on to something often seen in Disney movies....

First Anniversary Musical "Episode"

For my first anniversary in the RP in a couple months, I'm going to do a New Year's Musical Episode (assuming the world hasn't ended by then). It's going to be an elaborate dream sequence, and there will be many songs.

Confirmed songs are:

  • Org. XIII musical number.

  • Umbra and Styx singing BBBFF.

  • Issun singing I Like Big Butts Abdomens

  • Ammy singing a song about    burning    and/or marshmallows.

  • A few others I can't remember ATM.

Suggestions for songs are greatly appreciated.

Pokestar Studios

This is a long way away, probably, but I was gonna star my P Cs in a fantasy epic first, then branch out to other movies. Said other movies would include:

  • Draconic Uprising movie

  • Umbra and Ammy sitcom.

  • A few others I'm still working on/can't remember ATM.

Like the musical episode, ideas for this are greatly appreciated.

Dude

The Great Mouse Detective (If you wanna have some Sherlock Holmes mixed in there), The Rescuers/ The Rescuers Down Under and the Fantasia films deserve a mention/nod/whatnot.

Hmm, okay, here's what I've got so far:

Carol (and whoever else wants to join) is offered the opportunity to travel to the distant region of Orre by plane. Having heard stories of its rough-and-tough ways, she gladly accepts. The flight starts off smoothly—for a few hours all is calm. However, the plane soon begins to experience turbulence, and is forced to take a sort of detour, flying off course. When it shoddily lands in a far off corner of the region of Orre, Carol an her companions, mon or otherwise, head off to explore a bit while the pilot inspects the plane for damage. For a while, they find nothing but sand and dust (it's Orre, after all). Soon, however, the troop come across a piece of sandstone with an odd inscription on it, in the form of vague, faded characters.

The inscription suddenly flashes, blinding the gang. When their sight is regained, they decide to head back to the plane. It isn't there; it has disappeared without a trace. They are without any way to contact anyone. Utterly alone, they have to attempt to survive long enough to figure out what's going on.

Is this okay, or is it too weird? Would anyone be interested in this sort of plot?

Quarter

Looks good to me, and I could loan a couple mons to the plot.

Everyone else

I've already received a few suggestions in the chat and out here, but more are still needed. I'll list and pick from said suggestions later.

@Umbra As suggestions...

Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Lilo and Stitch, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Alice In Wonderland, The Fox and The Hound, or Winnie The Pooh.

Hmm. Maybe she should be at Outcast Island at the top of Fortune Island. As no-one is going there.

Important!!!

My laptop charger just broke. As in, totally gone. Which means that until I get a new one, I can't really use my laptop, because I need it for school first. So I'll pop in once in a while, and I'm going to try to get a new one this afternoon. The latest I'll probably have one is tomorrow night, though.

So...pretty much good-bye for now. Hopefully I won't be gone long.

Quarter Dollar, I wouldn't mind joining that adventure with Lair and Glares. I've been "hesitant" to join other R Ps going one because I didn't want to see like I was "barging in" on a story that was ongoing. This seems like a good "jumping-on point" to get "involved". Just call me "shy"; probably from an overuse of "quotation marks".

On Halloween Plans

OK, due to some planning in the chats, as well as foreshadowing on my end, it seems we are going to do the Ghost Army Reunion subplot in some form, probably in Lavender Tower. It will most likely be next weekend, since people will be busy on Halloween proper.

Anything else anyone needs to know?

On My Plans

OK, the suggestions so far for the Magic Mirror subplot are:

  • Lion King

  • Bambi

  • Sleeping Beauty

  • Fantasia + Fantasia 2000 (would most likely only do one or two segments, though.)

  • Great Mouse Detective

  • Rescuers/Rescuers Down Under

  • Peter Pan

  • Pinocchio

  • Lilo and Stitch

  • Hunchback of Notre Dame

  • Alice in Wonderland

  • Fox and The Hound

  • Winnie the Pooh

Judging from personal preference/nostalgia, what I think will best fit the subplot, or both, I think I will pick Lion King, Bambi, Sleeping Beauty, the Fantasias, Great Mouse Detective, Peter Pan, Lilo and Stitch, Alice in Wonderland (if only for Mind Screw o3o)and Winnie the Pooh from the current list. Of course, I can add and subtract depending on how long I want this to be. There's the issue of how some like Lilo and Stitch and Great Mouse Detective would fit, but that can be solved by breaking Makbaliv up into subworlds a la the Kingdom Hearts universe.

I still will gladly take suggestions for Magic Mirror (Though if no one suggests certain movies I may go for two or three personal "soft spot" films) but I'm looking for more for Pokestar and ESPECIALLY the Musical Episode. So fire away.

EDIT: I'm also looking for people to do Magic Mirror with me, whether it be actually participating or playing certain NP Cs.

Lenore could ride along to Makbeliv. As Disneyesque is right up her ally.

Last night, I managed to get myself in even more trouble. For many months now, I have been disrespecting my parents by sneaking online to participate in the RP. I can't do it anymore. I'm sorry for any trouble I may have caused during my time here. I have enjoyed being here, but now I must say goodbye.

I hope that this is temporary and that you're able to get this all straightened out and come back in the future.

Sixth, if you insist on leaving, (which I'd much rather you not) could you at least attempt to wrap some things up before you go? Like passing on the backup data for the wiki, or saying you saying you retired to PEFE in-RP or something? If I've learned anything from recent events, it's that leaving abruptly isn't good for anyone.

(Also, I'd like it if you could somehow pass Elysia on to someone, I would miss her the most out of your characters. Not as much as I would miss you, naturally. :( )
