Thursday DE: Your Face Just Fits(?)
Dec. 12th, 2018 04:34 pmsplash_of_blueHappy Friday Eve, everybody! And many thanks to needsmoreresearch for very kindly allowing me to hijack today's DE in order to keep myself entertained in an all-day meeting.
(I am a v. dedicated employee, obvs.)
Are there those 'faces' who you KNOW would be just perfect for an RP character - maybe even an NPC - but you've never found a character to fit them? Is there someone whose face you'd love to stare at in indecision for fifteen minutes while trying to choose exactly the right icon for your post*, but you've never found a character for whom to use them?
Alternatively, do you have any RP characters for whom you just can't find the right PB?
Post in with your favourite faces and/or a description of your PBless pups, and make suggestions for everyone else!
*No, this is not drawn from personal experience, don't look at me like that.

Plague Plot - Details Within
Dec. 12th, 2018 05:43 pmcottoncandypinkA while ago, we were throwing around wintery-sort-of-plot-things in Crackchat, and it made me want to do something I've been considering for a while.
Exposition
For those who don't do a lot of threading with him, Wilford's world is a dangerous hellscape deathtrap disguised as a prosperous modern society. Characters who have spent a significant amount of time there have been vaccinated against some of the more deadly diseases that float around in the air over there, but some diseases can't be vaccinated against. There's just too wide of a variety of viruses that all cause similar symptoms and mutate too rapidly.
A few days before Christmas, Wilford is going to bring Michael into the bar for lunch, like any other day. Michael will have a cold-like illness called Slime Lung. It's a decently contagious virus that tends to run its course fairly quickly, assuming the person who catches it is 1, in good health, and 2, has built up immunities through exposure to similar viruses. This isn't going to be like IMDB Flu, where patrons will remain in the bar. Oh, no. Well, you can if you want, but this one can travel home with you. Infect your friends with the worst cold in the universe. Maybe one of your characters is from a world capable of developing a cure. Maybe it can kill off an NPC that's been bothering your character. The possibilities are endless!
Timeline and Opt-In
Patient Zero will enter the bar a few days before Christmas (the exact date depends on my ability to dig up some free time). From there, Slime Lung will spread through typical means. Interacting with someone is not a guarantee of getting infected, so if you do not want to get infected, threading with other characters who are is still on the table. As a courtesy, unless the player has indicated that they are going to get their character infected, please refrain from coughing or sneezing in their face. That's rude.
Posts containing Slime Lung should be titled Plague Plot. Any and all discussion of symptoms involving bodily fluids is to be contained within threads. Please do not contain graphic symptoms in the main body of your post. Given the name and nature of the disease, there will be more on this under the cut below. OOMs should contain appropriate warnings.
Due to the nature of the plot, there is no set ending. The plot will continue as long as people want to keep playing with it.

This probably isn't the Christmas plot most people were expecting, but honestly, what's more wintery than everyone spreading germs everywhere and getting everyone sick?

Shout outs
Dec. 12th, 2018 10:53 pmceitfiannaI love seeing all the various ideas coming together for the holidays and wanted to add one more to the pot. Around New Year's doing a kid party post where characters can come in as kids, not a lot of plot maybe hot chocolate and the possibility of a snowball fight. Something fun for everyone, if there's interest, I'll set it up closer to New Years.
The idea very much came from kid Yamato who's so cute and still himself.
Enzo brings a charming Hanukkah celebration to Bar.
Yrael's EP is lovely. At work, I often see the piano tuner's car when I'm parking in the morning.
What are you reading and finishing?
