But they're not about the Homestuck-related aspects of WAOA, closest last night's was is that we were LARPing but that's about it. I mean I wasn't even Vrischole!

...Ummm, sorry for asking but what's LAR Ping? I'm guessing it's got something to do with Role-Playing.

Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.

Ah. Thanks for filling me in, Oz. ...I haven't really made much a comment on this matter because firstly, I wouldn't know what to say considering...I'm clueless. Secondly, feeling kinda tired.

If you need some rest, go get some. Please don't let an online game set your schedule to the point you risk your health to stay awake and play. It's really not worth that.

Actually, I left earlier today to get some sleep so I could be up now. I'm just tired since I was really enjoying my 7 hour nap. I do appreciate the concern, though.

Getting slightly back on topic, though, I've got the list of ideas, characters and other things I should put up here for the group to look at.

Sure.

Ideas.

  • Aging/Maturity Ray. Basically the exact opposite of the Youth/Chibi Ray. It'd be too soon to do something like this, however.
  • Growth/Shrinking Ray. Again, it's blatantly obvious what'd happen here.
  • Soul Exchange. Or rather, basically some character's suddenly finding themselves in another character's body.
  • Gravity Manipulation. Basically, you'd know how this'd work. Able determine if there's 'Low' Gravity or Zero Gravity and so on.
  • Magic-Change / Soul Eater mini-arc. Thought about it and considering it'd end up in absurd amounts of violence and decided that it wouldn't work.
  • What They Fear. Basically, personifications representing characters fears would show up and, surprisingly, try to help them overcome this fear.
  • Drawings Come To Life. Self-Explainatory.

Really, these are just a few of my ideas. I know not all of them are very good, but they're basically a few sentences in Notepad right now.

I like the growth/shrink ray (though perhaps save this for a bit later since for some of the characters shrinking would be similar to the chibi-fication they've just done).

Also like the gravity manipulation (which probably doesn't surprise a lot of people since I have mentioned several times that I'm fond of Giratina and the Distortion World and that place is pretty much a Gravity Screw with being able to walk up the walls, the upside-down waterfall, etc.) I can already picture Siennabi kind of floating in the middle of the room not quite sure which direction she should go to land.

Drawings coming to life would also be a lot of fun, especially considering we've got several characters in the group who enjoy drawing.

We've done a couple variations on the soul-swapping before, though it's been a while and I know people had fun with it. My participation in this would depend on who got switched and if we'd be playing our character's personality but the other person's body, or trying to play someone else's character in our character's body.

We've also done things going into characters' fears, but it was badly timed (two people wanting to try to finish their arcs at once, and it was right after yet another arc finished up). All I will say with this one is that it shouldn't get too dark. Not sure if you are familiar with Harry Potter but something more along the lines of the boggart scene could be really cool, where the characters have to make the fear funny and laugh at it to defeat it. I can already tell you that I would not use Gina in this, since it's hard not to go too dark when your fear is eternal torture.

Precisely the same reason I'm saving the Age-Up Ray for another time considering it'd still be too soon. After all, it'd be a waste to let the idea go stale. Still, thanks for saying it's a good idea.

Heh. I actually played a Giratina gijinka once. Not that she really got much air-time. Still, considering that I've yet to play Platinum, I'll have to see it for myself. Still, I'm hoping it'll be a temporary thing myself because while Siennabi would be having fun floating around and having fun, there'd still be some characters who'd be rather upset on basically being at gravity's whims. ...Or whoever's got the orb.

Yeah. It'd be rather cool and considering that it WOULD be easy for some of us to upload our own drawings for that sort of thing, it could work out rather well.

Soul-Swapping? Eh, it was just something I tossed out. I don't really have any idea on how it'd play out at this moment in time since, again, it's merely a sentence or two without much substance behind it. We might have to discuss what'd happen if that was the case.

...I see. I did say that the character's personification would be at least SOMEWHAT friendly and not hostile since we really don't need fighting to breakout and causing chaos. Still, it's rather interesting to see what'd happen and, yeah. I haven't read/watched Harry Potter. Sorry. That, and in hindsight, all of my characters would basically be out of it myself considering...well...

GG's personification of fear would be the 'I like Trains'-Kid.

I really like the soul swap, provided we play our characters in someone esle's body.... I am worried someone else playing our charterers could go really badly. But provided it is just our characters and a new body I fully support the idea and really like it.

Any way, good night. I will see you in the morning.

If we're doing the Fear Arc, then I think I'd put Konoe, Bang and maybe Carl down for it. Hakumen, Jubei and Kokonoe have fears that would turn the arc dark very fast, Caim's too nucking futs to be afraid, and Warmech can't feel fear since he's a robot.

@Ica: True...Also, nice to see you.

@Chuck: I just found it somewhat amusing, but considering this is rather important and taking GG into account...that's probably...fitting.

Still looking for the rest of those ideas. I had more, but I have more than one list. ...And then there's the characters I want to bring in. And I doubt anyone's interested in that.

Well, I wanted a Fear Arc. Since Scarecrow from Batman is either dead or in the asylum multiple pages ago. What do we gonna use? Boggart, simulation machine, Eirin's shady drug, expired casserole?

Boggart sounds good.

...or I could fit it into my Nue-arc.

That soul swapping thing reminds me of when Etheru and I both decided to switch up our avatars and play each other's characters for a brief time. It was a lot of fun, especially when we just decided to mess around and had them display ridiculous Out of Character moments (Vivian glomping onto a snarky version of Little Red Riding Hood was really damn hilarious).

Which also reminds me of the time he managed to take my avatar and fool Hilarity into thinking he was me. Good times...good times...

@Chuck: I was there...but do remember that I don't really get much of a chance to pay attention since, well, we hardly have our characters interact.

@Kirb: It's not happening now! It's not going to happen for a good while yet! Don't worry about it until everyone decides we should do something like that.

Urgh...

We actually have had Scarecrow show up a couple times for previous Fear Arc type things that got very dark, which is why I don't think this one should go that way.

I'd have to come up with fears for a couple other characters; the only one I've really gone into is Gina, in the other fear arcs as well as in her nightmare mini-arc, and... yeah definitely too dark. Maybe Jennifer. She seems the type to have some kind of really irrational, obscure, and potentially amusing fear. I just have to decide what it would be.
