Edgedancer he/him Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) TBH I'm not entirely sure what constitutes a person following Collaborate so there's arguments to be made either way. Protect them how? I was wondering if that was ever going to happen, although I thought she was going to blow someones mouth up by targetting their teeth. You mentioned him throwing a house but realistically if you grabbed it with that much force the wall would simply collapse. Kind of like how superman can grab a plane by its wings without them ripping off. Needs a proper look in the eyes first. Proper dental care, your worst enemy. Edited May 18, 2015 by Edgedancer

Kind of like how superman can grab a plane by its wings without them ripping off. Needs a proper look in the eyes first. Proper dental care, your worst enemy. Oh right, no he couldn't keep the wall together like that. Impact's power does a little bit of that so that cars dont just send hand sized pieces of shrapnel flying when she tries to move them but I'd like to keep him to strictly just having insane strength. So maybe some transformers but no he probably won't actually be throwing buildings around. Is this a good time to point out that having been in wilderness for quite some time PP's teeth are probably not in great condition? Also I'm going to give him jaundice as soon as possible so his eyes yellow too

Also I'm going to give him jaundice as soon as possible so his eyes yellow too The lengths to which mankind will go for safety. In other news, I finally know where Wandersail's name comes from. I feel like I'm finally privy to a whole trove of inside jokes I never knew existed.
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Wandersail? Oh Crap! Blackwave! I'd completely forgotten about him. . . . I'll just have him enter Astoria Tomorrow in game.
Mailliw73 he/him Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Oh Crap! Blackwave! I'd completely forgotten about him. I bet that doesn't happen to him often. 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Super weird question, Edge. So, according to a Cracked article on health and beauty products that don't work, cutting or pushing back your cuticles can give you Frankennails. (Google "Beau's lines" real quick. I'll wait. ... (Sorry about that image.) Anyway, Lucentia is pretty vain, and strikes me as the sort of person who would invest more time than the average person (which is to say, absolutely none) into fingernail maintenance. So what are the chances of this beauty queen developing super horrifying fingernails that even her powers can't rid her of? (I know there's a decent chance Calamity's weird mutation magic will keep her attractive and my question will be moot anyway, and that she could probably fashion gloves or something similar from her diamonds....but still. I had to ask.) Edited May 18, 2015 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles 1
Blaze1616 he/him Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I leave for one week, ONE WEEK, and it takes three hours to catch up on everything. My characters sigh a ridiculous amount. Is it noticable? No more noticeable than the fact that I've inadvertently turned Bubbles into an arsonist. She's now drawn Seattle and Denver , and then edited the art to have them burning. Though sometimes the best character quirks stem from accidents! As a side note, I love assertive Chase. Makes me sad she's a coward when confronted face to face. Corvallis comments and concerns: I'd like to preface by saying I in no way intend to insult, or offend, anyone with anything I am about to say. I am not attacking you, your ideas, nor your characters in any way. Hopefully what I do say won't warrant such a preface, but just in case. Well, this escalated quickly. We went from a city with one High Epic (Rainmaker) to having that one High Epic take on three others in a single evening. I find this mildly frustrating. I thought the purpose of Corvallis was to be a relatively low power level thread, with relatively little combat that would ultimately result in the Queen's downfall (with most of the Queens presumably dying, save Chase and maybe Cornucopia, depending on Voidus's plans). That's not to say I dislike where this is going. I am not frustrated with any of the players, nor their characters, but rather am frustrated at how quickly those original concepts were thrown out the window. In just three pages, those original ideas for Corvallis have all but evaporated. I do however, like where the thread is headed. There is much promise for good roleplaying as the Queens struggle to find Euphoria and keep Corvallis together, Iconoclast and the potential Converter/Phoenix duo confront each other for the first time (will they team up or fight each other), and the vanilla rebellion somehow tries to form a cohesive rebellion amongst all the previously mentioned conflicts. Other notes about Corvallis: Why do we keep referencing vanillas at the stadium? There aren't any. Like, any. The ones Chase used to initially taunt Converter all died (I think) thanks to Converter, and everyone else was escorted away by Buttercup and the police. Buttercup is the only one to have returned, meaning even the vanilla police force is absent. There should be no vanillas at the scene. Silver, are you wanting Converter to get away, or to be captured?

It also depends on whether her powers reset her body to some sort of ideal--if she spent a whole day jogging would she develop muscle cramps to complain about, or would slicing open her leg and healing it restore her muscles to normal?

Well we do have two amoral Epic researchers nearby if they ever appear again.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 Well we do have two amoral Epic researchers nearby if they ever appear again. Would their new research project (provided they could actually manage to restrain their test subject) be called Project Make Lucentia Weep Diamonds when She Sees What We Did to Her Fingernails?

I love freeform RPs, and I was honestly shocked this website didn't have more of them (or rather, any until the original Question thread). So I guess thank you for bringing them here. The ranty-section of that post was more to help keep myself from bottling up my frustration to then later vomit it all over the RP. It's honestly not a big deal, it just would've been nice to keep the idea slightly longer than 3 pages. Ah well, such is life.
Voidus Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Well Funtimes would be their official backer so she'd get to name things. Which means I suppose it would be called something like project meanie shiny face. 2

Actually, I imagined Lucentia as a case of the veiness looping around to the point of not doing extensive beauty care, kind of a "Make-up is for people that weren't born as beautiful as me" kind of deal. Anyway, that condition is still caused by something in the finger not working right, right? So she should be able to heal it, although she may have to cut the finger off.... Completely unintended and only vaguely related but I just had the very freaky though of Lucentia cutting off her own head each time a couple of months has passed and then collecting them.

Silver, are you wanting Converter to get away, or to be captured? I know how you feel, but i only left for a day or two. Can't imagine leaving for a week, though that's what I'm going to do during the summer. I was thinking that Converter gets captured, but someone else frees her, like Phoenix or Iconoclast.
Voidus Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Thanks a lot Edge now I don't have an excuse to kidnap and experiment on her.The first experiment was going to be 'how to permanently remove the ability to whine from someone who can heal' 3

The first experiment was going to be 'how to permanently remove the ability to whine from someone who can heal' There's nothing stopping them from experimenting on ways to block her healing like placing something in her voicebox that keeps it from reforming. (And I won't tell you the result so you can keep on dreaming. ) 2

Yeah, leave it to Lucentia to turn vanity into something that would make horror films cringe. Strange things like Coke leading to redemption? Same here. But it usually winds up working out for the best, and if something that might happen can derail plans in a major and negative way, we're all open to discussing ways to keep the damage to a minimum.

At least she hasn't actually done it yet. Nah, that didn't actually happen (yet ). I'm more talking about stuff like Autumn and Shiny Sparkle.

I firmly believe that the only reason such a scenario exists only on the WHOOC thread is because The Dalles has not yet figured out how to securely import or manufacture their own Coca-Cola.

There is a factory still running, right? I'm sure that a teleporter could make the trip. Also, given that Arsenal is now out of the race, does anyone of you have a character that could be motivated to form a ship by a frog suit? Also also, any interest in reacting with the Financier Twi or should I maybe keep the scene moving?

I wouldn't be opposed to Flashpoint/Edgerunner starting in such a way. I won't be able to post for him until this afternoon, so go ahead. If you want to mention him hugging Brightdeath's golden orb, that's fine.

Who knows, maybe she even has a bottle in her refrigerator. Which of them is wearing the suit? Don't worry, we aren't in a hurry. The collab fight is almost finished, so I will probably just post the next Metal segment together with the aftermath reaction of Mary and Deathgale, which would probably not happen before tomorrow anyway.
