Just the bare minimum.

Also, you know what? I think we should have actual, up to date plot recaps. This actually bugged me in the old Beacons...so I'm just going to make the Co-GM's do it. Emphasis on make. And just for the giggles, I'll make you do it in character.

We'll do it in batches of five pages so it won't be too overwhelming. Here's the first five, narrated by Alice.

Ultimate Beacon Recap

Alice Vale here, giving you a short summary of what happened so far. As for why I'm giving a recap on inconsequential things teenagers do rather than do something productive, well...

Oh, excuse me. Did I sound annoyed? Because I am.

• Page 1
  • So. First things first. The worlds end and are recreated by something I'm sure the GM will forget later. Hopefully not, as I'm rather curious as to what can do something like that.
  • My sister, Princess Alexia of Vale, wakes up from a nightmare and immediately decides to go down for some coffee. At five in the morning. I don't think too much caffeine is healthy Lexi.
  • Others begin to wake up as well. Jack Reisetoter makes a terrible joke although his team is asleep. His teammate, Sophie, barges in, demanding they train. Topless. Classy.
  • Charisse shakes off some vague memories of the old world, while Jack has an outright flashback. Ayers and Naima are also wide awake, with Ayers yelling something or other about a farn and Naima actually being mindful of sleeping people. Shocking, I know.
  • Ai wakes up in Charisse's bed, the two having a romantic night or something. Personally, I don't see the appeal. Lucas is waken up by his obnoxious teammates. Poor, poor Lucas.
  • Yun awakes in Workshop C, having done something productive with his time and made brand new gauntlets, named Stormbreaker, for himself. I approve. Meanwhile, Pius, after one of his signature internal monologues, goes to look for Alexia, his partner. He finds her in the kitchen, and I swear he's flirting with her. Hopefully not. I already have my hands full with Spider-Man.
  • Remus wakes up, completely nonchalant about his team's lack of sanity. Glen is woken up by Charisse, and he immediately assumes an attack. Granted, I wouldn't put it past Ozpin to stage one.
  • Sophie continues to bug her team, while the ever-oblivious Ghatz spots her on his way to the kitchen. He immediately gets distracted by breasts. Again, I don't see the appeal.
  • Belle wakes up in her own workshop having worked on multiple projects there. Bit of overkill, but who am I to judge. Charisse attempts to get her team down to breakfast, while Sophie fails at slang. I weep for the butchering of Vale's language.
  • Medus and Ieria wake up in each other's arms and exchange sweet nothings. Would it be redundant for me to say that I don't see the appeal?
• Page 2:
  • Sophie completely ignores Ghatz, Remus avuses his authority to get out of Sophie's training, and Jack wonders why Ozpin stuck them with said girl. Yun meets up with Belle, and he questions his dorm's sanity. An understandable question, all things considered.
  • Ghatz actually gets Sophie to talk to him. Yay. I'll get the confetti. Ieria and Medus flirt some more, then Medus suggest they take a shower. I'm just glad Lexi wasn't there to see it. Meanwhile, Dolores is fast asleep and completely oblivious. Must be nice.
  • Alfred fails to wake up properly and thinks he's still back home in training. I can symphatize, sometimes I still wonder where my pod is. Sophie breaks down her questionable training regiment. I am simply speechless. Ghatz tries to snap Alfred out of it by slapping him. I am feeling the deep friendship between these two. Glen agrees with Charisse and her breakfast plan, the latter then attempts to wake Dolores.
  • Lucas wakes up. Alexia talks to Pius about why she's awake but omits her dream. Which I think is a bad decision on my sister's part. They proceed to banter. Remus and Jack walk into the kitchen, and Remus's girlfriend, Chelsea, calls him.
  • Imuka walks out of Belle's workshop and greets Yun. Ieria attempts to seduce Medus in the showers. And I still fail to see the appeal.
• Page 3:
  • While Remus talks to Chelsea about their Sunday date, Lexi and Pius talk about her appointment of Spidey as a Knight. Complete with more banter. Pa would have a field day with this.
  • Yun speaks to Imuka about her project, and Ghatz makes me question his competence when he is defeated by stairs. Glen enters the kitchen and makes his famous steak. Beth would like one, by the way.

I'm awake, guys.

Sup, Insano.

• Page 3, part two:
  • Miala Alexandros, formerly Delta and now a ghost, decides to haunt Naima for the giggles. Naima just seems vaguely interested. Nerves of steel.
  • Sophie harasses Lucas in one of the most uncomfortable things I've seen. Moving on. Lexi and Pius digress and end up on the topoc of her lack of culinary skills. Which must be in the blood, because I am worse than she is.
  • Charisse enters the kitchen, Lucas protests and Yub, Belle and Imuka chat. Ghatz rises again after his humiliating defeat.
• Page 4:
  • Naima continues to nonchalantly chat with a ghost. Sophie barges into the kitchen and freaks out my prude of a sister. Ai and Charisse discussing femslash doesn't help. Belle and Yun decide to spar. Clearly the sane ones.
  • Just to make things worse, Carol calls Lucas. Yes, his somewhat insane semi-girlfriend. Seriously, C, give the man some space. Lexi continues to freak out while her lovely friends troll her. Glen makes more steaks. Another sane one. Imuka decides to ref the spar.
• Page 5:
  • Ghatz is ignored and decides to eat pancakes. Smart boy. Naima is still completely unfazed by Mia. Someone check this girl for a survival instinct. Damian wakes up and goes for breakfast.
  • Yun and Belle begin to spar. Lexi is traumatized for life as Sophie teaches the fine art of -censored-. No interest from me is recorded. And someone should really tell them to stop doing these things in front of my poor sister.
  • Lucas's life continues to suck as Carol overhears Sophie. Damn it, C. Medus and Ieria have shower fun. Again, zero interest. Charisse challenges Ghatz to a spar.

And that is it for me. Find out what happens next from someone else. I'm out.

Thank you, Alice.

Anyway, here is the schedule for the next recaps:

6-10: Pius

11-15: Ieria

16-20: Charisse

21-25: Alexia

If anyone wants to do one, feel free to ask. This will make our recapping a bit more up to date and fun, yes?

Alfred needs to do this shit.

I mean, I thought of naming him after the god of "Knowledge of All Stories", so he's pretty fitting for this.

edited 20th Sep '14 6:26:39 AM by LiorVal

Haha, I wouldn't have pegged Alice as a Deadpan Snarker.

Yun might give it a shot.

Might be fun to have Glen do one of these.

You guys were wondering what happened to me, I decided "forget this, this is too much; I'm going to sleep. "

I'm sorry for being so nasty towards Saturn. I was shocked when Hayley told me about what Saturn "did" to her, and instead of trying to talk to xir and sort this out, I let my sister's shock and sorrow affect me and became a Kagutsuchi.

By Kagutsuchi, I mean "raging fireball of destruction, bent on revenge".

If I had calmed down, then maybe I would've been pn friendly-enough terms on Saturn. I wouldn't have been suspended, which caused a big misunderstanding for Imca.

I also shouldn't have cried on the forum. Crying under a wooden table does not make things better; it just wastes time that could've been used solving it.

If you guys don't want me to return, I understand...

edited 20th Sep '14 6:41:51 AM by Underwood

Don't worry, Underwood. We'd be happy to have you back.

Now we're just waiting for Saturn's word on all this, and I really hope she's willing to make it so that we got back 3.5/4 of the people involved in this argument, or at least is willing to make peace with you three.

Thanks Insano...

Ultimate Beacon Recap Part 2

• Page 6
  • So Glen overhears Charisse and Ghatz deal with the rules of the duel, and then he asks if he can join in. What a surprise. Charisse drags her girlfriend Ai into it so she can also give her a duel that she apparently owes her or something.
  • Alexia decides to intervene in the issue between Sophie and Lucas, without asking for my advice as her leader. As if she can just do her little white-knight thing without my approval and prior observation of the situation. Still, I gotta admit my pity for the boy: blinded at 15 before he could make early admission to Beacon, beleaguered constantly by the girls taken in by his personality and what I admit are some damn good looks. The guy could use a break; it's not everyone gets to admit that one of his problems in his life is that he has too many girls who like him for who he is.
  • Anyway, Alexia gets kissed by Sophie for her trouble, and she was definitely not into that. She rebuffs Sophie, which causes the girl to run back to her team room. Meanwhile Ayers is cooking while talking to Rufus, Dolores runs after the rest of her team and Ghatz to watch them duel, and that Schwarzgeist rogue makes her way downstairs.
  • Naima continues her conversation with Mia, who reveals that her father sold her out to Luna. Bastard.
  • Alexia, naive sweet girl that she is, goes and tries to calm down Sophie. As far as I know, she fails...

• Page 7
  • ...because Sophie returns without a damn shirt on.
  • Belle and Yun continue their spar, chunking Aura from each other. Meanwhile the four-way duel between Charisse, Ghatz, Ai, and Glen begins in Beacon's own arena under the eyes of Professor De la Vega. It's fascinating what people will get up to before it's even six o'clock, isn't it?
  • Alexia's...her...ugh, why is this so difficult—ahem!—her Royal Knight, Alfred Tarantula, finally makes his way downstairs to dampen the mood with his selfishness and arrogance. I have no idea how Alexia expects that coward to stick his next out for her, much less change his behavior.
  • I show up on this page once, just to show my exasperation with all the noise. So as not to leave this entry short, I'll write that Cara woke up here. And instead of noticing the content of the writing on the walls, she only focuses on the pen writing on the wall, and then she gets excited at the notion of having to deal with a ghost in our dorm. She's very lucky that Mia is a sweet girl.
  • Ieria tries to calm me down like a good teammate until Sophie shows up and starts hitting on her as well. Is this girl insatiable? Meanwhile, Medus and Ayers get along like dudes, and Medus avoids hurting his hand this time when he high-fives Ayers. Good for him, even if he did steal one of Ieria's eggs. I'm pretty sure he's the only one she wouldn't hurt for doing that.

• Page 8
  • Cara and Naima both confirm to each other that there is indeed a ghost in the dorm, and downstairs their leader Rufus is trying to get Sophie to cover up by giving her towel. She drapes it over her shoulders, which thankfully covers her breasts for the moment.
  • Yun and Belle come to an ending point in their spar, and Yun charges at Belle to try to take the duel. Meanwhile over at the arena, everyone is punching and kicking each other like crazy.
  • Noa refuses to take her leader's crap, Rufus continues to pretend denying Mia's existence, and Ieria rejects Sophie's list. All is right with the world.
  • And then Princess Alice arrives to shake up our morning, before the sun has begun to rise. Thanks, milady.
  • Then she drops a real bomb on us: she wants to make Ieria her Royal Knight, just after Medus assured her that he thinks nothing of the princess. I wonder what Ieria thinks of the princess now...

• Page 9
  • Almost everyone on the first floor turns their attention towards Ieria's decision on whether to accept or reject Alice's offer of knighthood. Some voice their concern, some approve of Alice's choice, and some seethe with resentment. Team MAIN tries to negotiate with Alice on Ieria's availability, and Alice reveals that Alexia had a crush on me when we were younger. Can you believe it? A crush on me? Anyway, Ieria chooses to accept the position from Alice.

• Page 10
  • Alfred decides to start talking in our conversation, which everyone agrees is a bad idea. Alice knights Ieria with the usual ceremony using Alexia's sword. Remus goes up to the roof to train himself for a few minutes, and it almost seems like we're going to have some breakfast.
  • But I'm wrong about that, of course. Alice throws Alfred at the ceiling to get him to shut, thank goodness, and she reveals more information about who attacked her on the 2nd. Some amalgamated abomination with aspects of the previous Weapon Girls, and a male this time around, called Omega. Medus also tries getting something out of Alice, which I believe he is going to share with the rest of us later. Right, Medus?
  • Yun and Belle end their duel amiably while the four-way duel continues to rage on. Belle asks Yun about his new Stormbreaker gauntlets, which I myself am very curious about.

And now I'm done talking. Ieria, could you take the next five? Thanks.

Welcome back, Woody! Glad to see you!

For everyone interested in the Ultimate Recap, can you guys put dibs on page numbers so we can be organized?

And Insano, I am expecting Pius's report. Make it good!

...It is beautiful so far.

edited 20th Sep '14 6:55:53 AM by GrimHelm

I'll take 31-35

edited 20th Sep '14 6:55:44 AM by SvenOrzoKarkoff

I'll take 36-40 (unless someone else wants to do that particular point in time).

edited 20th Sep '14 6:56:26 AM by Eachiunn

Glad to see you too, Grim!

No one's taking 26-30?

I'll take 26-30 then.

Yay, motivated recapping!

I also rather loved writing Alice. Sarcastic asexual telekinetic cyborg princesses are awesome to get into.

Also, to B2 people. Time to meet Gaston. No one is a douche like Gaston!

edited 20th Sep '14 7:07:45 AM by GrimHelm

Guess I'll take 41-45

Also if you don't mind I think I'll go create and format the character page for Beacon Ultimate since it hasn't been done yet

No no, don't do that, opnerf! I've already prepared stuff for those pages!

edited 20th Sep '14 7:11:25 AM by Insano

Put the page dibs on the recap, please?

Oh, okay. Taking your time, then.

edited 20th Sep '14 7:14:16 AM by opnerf

Got it.

No one fucks up with Al's breakfast. Unless they want their wrists twisted.

Lior, Gaston is outside the building.

And the longer distance is a problem because?

He'll just walk outside of the building towards him. Put the plates down to open the door if there is one. I don't see how him being outside the building is that much of a problem.
