Plottage

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Hi, folks.

Two plot ideas here I wanted to float past people. Well, one float, one 'I'm just trying to get in touch with everyone I already spoke to'. The first is, it's been a while since the last one; would people be interested in another Team Fortress 2 plot? I.e., one red door and one blue door appear alongside the regular door (or instead of the regular door, in the case of people who can't see the door) and anyone who goes through one gets drafted onto that team for chaotic insane battles and deaths and resurrections all day long? If enough people are interested I'll run one. I have to admit, though, that I haven't kept up with canon additions like hats and new specialty weapons and drop-boxes of supplies, so if you're a TF2 player RL and you want all that stuff you'll have to fill me in on the details.

The other is- about a week ago in crackchat, I told people that Ellen was headed for a town full of giant mutant killer monster death lizards called, appropriately enough, Deathclaws. The town also has a significant Enclave presence in it, which is to say, grouchy quasi-fascist humans with power armor and energy weapons. She's got to get into the town, retrieve some prewar tech from the old ruined power plant, and get out alive. This will mean a lot of lizard fightin' and people-shootin'. A number of people expressed an interest in participating. Could y'all contact me about that so we can arrange the whole deal? I'd like to do it soon, if that's good for everybody.

Thanks!

Sign Ult. Ben for the lizard wrangling. I haven't written the OOM for his next story arc but he'll be in the beginnings of his downward spiral and could use the distraction. Unless the guns don't have trigger guards and have re-enforced triggers I don't see him blazing away though. ; p

A Gatling laser or minigun might work for him. Those are big enough for Fawkes to use, and he's got enormous hands. Ben can get a supersledge somewhere if he wants to use an enhanced concussion-force hammer?

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

I think Ben would be all over a supersledge and frankly I'd be worried what damage he can do with one of those considering these two pages (http://pics.livejournal.com/unbreakableben/gallery/000034y0). Also one thing about this Ben that is different is he leaps tall buildings like the Hulk so he can be a good death-from-above-ambush.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Oooh, nice. Yeah, Fawkes will gladly lend Ben his own sledge- Fawkes will be working the Gatling laser for this particular expedition. This should be good.

Team Fortress 2!! Yes please!!

**jumps around excitedly**

The moment those doors appear, Teja will run through the blue one like greased lightning. Urquhart might later follow through the red one.

I would be interested in playing but April is a really bad month for me work wise. If it starts then I will have to pass. I can play in May.

Let me know on that. My charrie would be Aegnor from the Silmarillion.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

That could get interesting. It should be noted that Ellen's canon is set in a post-nuclear-war wasteland in the year 2277. Not that there aren't blade and bludgeon weapons in use in places, but they're not as common as guns, lasers, plasma and explosives. Also, body armor is in use, and some of it is powered armor that was designed to protect the user from lasers as much as from guns and sharp edges. How much of an issue would that be for Aegnor?

[minkhollow]

I am totally up for TF2 plot! (And maybe that whole thing with Cata and the RED Pyro?)

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

But of course!

[alchemistseraph]

I'd love TF2 to be redone, and just for giggles, though I am made of mostly fail of late, I'd be interested in Ellen's plot too if you want an extra person.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Might be able to arrange something. It's worth noting that there are a lot of doors in Olney, and if you have trouble keeping up a thread due to whatever circumstance, we can easily say "Whoops! $CHARACTER wandered back into the Bar by mistake!". The question is who'd be going, of course.

[alchemistseraph]

Of who I have in Milliways, probably either Tsu'tey or Chekov. The latter has better chances.

The former's in there just because I find the idea personally hilarious.

[crazyfurries.livejournal.com]

I'm totally up for sending up a Moon Shadow for the people-shooting part of the Fallout plot.

Kind of tempted to let him have his spying ways in TF2.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Splendid, I think we can do that. That and killer robots.

[boston_bruiser]

I'm up for sending Voodoo to Ellen's world again.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Works for me. At this rate we'll have to get Voodoo a local suit of real armor or something- then again deathclaws'll usually cut through even proper body armor... well, we'll think of something.

[genarti]

If you want another heavy hitter for Ellen's world, Piotr can be available! He's more okay with the lizard fightin' than the people-shootin', but he does understand the "kill them if it's that or die" concept.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Hey, if he can pick them up and put their heads through a wall so they aren't available for fighting until our heroes get away, that's good too. We'll work something out.

[genarti]

He can do that! He is very good at it. (Thank you, comic book physics.)

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

Now I am seeing Ult. Ben and Piotr doing a fast ball special...though I'm not sure which would be the ball. = P

[genarti]

Ha! They can trade off?

Or maybe the giant lizards can just be the ball. HERE, GO JOIN YOUR FRIENDS. SPECIFICALLY, MEET THEIR FACES AT HIGH VELOCITY.

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

They can play dodge ball! \ o /

[rustedtoaster.livejournal.com]

Are you full up on folks for Old Olney? If not I'd like to throw my hat in.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

I think I can manage a few more, although we may split people into groups to make timezone and availability issues less.

*taps fingers, thinking*

You know, I forgot about the power plant's defenses. How is Stitch with killer robots?

[rustedtoaster.livejournal.com]

Killer robots works!

[innerbrat]

Can I please please please sign Deadshot up for both plots? I'd love to give him the opportunity to be - well, Deadshot.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

The only issue I'd have with adding him to the Old Olney trip is that Ellen's world's economy is based on bottlecaps. Is Deadshot the kind of merc who'd be willing to work for excitement and plunder? Because payment, not so likely to happen. If he's good with 'You can take whatever guns you can carry and whatever armor fits you off the dead' then we're good. Otherwise I'm going to have to come up with another means of motivating him.

[raptorcanaria]

Oh dude, he totally doesn't care about the money. He just pretends to because it makes him look a little less fucked up then "I just like shooting things."

^_^

[venusadept_2]

As I implied in crackchat, Felix would like to go along.

He won't be happy about the possibility of having to kill people, but either he'll find a way not to, or he'll deal with having done so. At this point neither would break him.

[gammagammahey.livejournal.com]

I'm interested in having Shulkie participate in both plots. She can throw lizards around all day long with Piotr and Ben.
