Invasion of small origami animals that eat paper and drink ink.

Seimei would not so much help with it as accidentally cause it...

[bjornwilde]

I can't decide if it would be a good (amusing) thing or a bad thing if Touji happens to be practicing some paper charms while this happens. Would the origami figures assume the nature of spell if they ate it?

ETA: In case it wasn't obvious, Touji's canon uses extensive use of paper and calligraphy for spells.

[yinyangwizard]

Hey, Seimei and Touji could cause a freak magical interaction that would create the wild origami creatures.

[bjornwilde]

That could be very interesting and easy to arrange since Touji will be experimenting with man-made shikigami once I get back to him. I think I've figured out how I want to approach writing the next steps of his story.

[gredya]

...Djehuty would adopt them all. ALL.

[genarti]

OMG best. *shiny eyes*

Little!Rae: *mixes a little simple syrup into a shallow bowl of ink as a sweet treat for the cute, tiny animals*

Once More With Feeling: Some spell or magical illness sweeps across Milliways. Everyone infected finds themselves singing instead of simply talking.

- Only pup of mine I can see causing this is currently in the app process, but I am sure someone else could make it happen.

Translation field malfunction: for somer reason, the translation field isn't working for everyone and all they hear is the native language of the speaker.

- Sabine might be able to help with this as she's a genius with linguistics and language.

[sunbaked_baker]

I do love the idea of a translation field malfunction. Everyone gets to hear everyone else as they truly sound, and imagine the quest to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it, when hardly anyone speaks the same language. :D:D:D

[gredya]

I'd really love this one too.

[genarti]

I might have one in the works, which I've been meaning to email the mods about. >.>

[clayforthedevil]

yessss :D

[bjornwilde]

[i_am_your_host]

Endless games of Pictionary!

[yinyangwizard]

Seimei is fluent in many Earth languages and can thus provide translation services if this happens.

[mightbeagoodone]

There was a Once More With Feeling plot back in 2006 or so. It was pretty cracky.

[bjornwilde]

I'd assumed there had been one, what with Fi's Pirate King and the singing green demon from Biffy/Angel-verse.

[mightbeagoodone]

You know, I'm not sure if either character was in the bar at the time.

But I played Sweet, so. Y'know.

[ceitfianna]

There are some crackplots that I miss and would love to see have a second life like the critter one, where a chair turned everyone who sat into it into an animal.

I feel like there must be something connected to the world of October Daye such as an infestation of pixies or bogeys that follow him in from Goldengreen one day.

[bjornwilde]

Oh man, a pixie/bogey infestation and war could be awesome. Only challenge would be making it opt in.

[heatherandsteel]

They don't bother everyone so there might be a way to have them only be in some parts of the Bar or in hallways to create the opt-in.

[bjornwilde]

True. The new environment could also make them more cautious so they don't attack anything and everyone.

[anewhero]

Sounds cool :)

[just_cant_lose]

Waaaaaay back in the day when I first joined, the 24 pups - and a few others - had a Liar Liar plot, where they could only tell the truth for 24 hours. That was a lot of fun!

[yinyangwizard]

I like this! What I find particularly amusing about it is that with YT it's quite likely that no one would notice the difference.

[just_cant_lose]

Lol, same if Gene played.

[yinyangwizard]

I think YT and Gene should meet some time. I think they could be super-snarky to each other without the risk of actual bloodshed (unlike, you know, some other people).

[just_cant_lose]

I think they should too! Gene says he doesn't like gobby kids but he does really. She might be just the sort of teenager he can get along with. Not that he won't take the piss and tell her off a lot, but he does that with everyone and it generally means he likes them. :)

[mightbeagoodone]

Ages ago someone suggested (I think it was you, Mine Host) doing a plot based on the Welcome to Night Vale episode "Antiques." Basically feral antiques would invade the bar.

I'm not sure how to make it interesting, though. I love WTNV, but they do tend to finish episodes by deus ex machina a lot.

[bjornwilde]

A variation of the Beast's curse or the broom spell from the Sorcerer's Apprentice?

[mightbeagoodone]

Well, now I want to app Mickey :).

I'm charmed at the thought of the broom spell. In the episode, they never go into why the antiques go wild. it's just one of those Night Vale things.

[bjornwilde]

Didn't Bar have a Mickey for a bit? I think it was from Kingdom of Hearts canon, but still.

[misslucyjane]

We've had two different versions of Kingdom Hearts Micky, IIRC, Micky as the good guy and Mickey as the villain for all the Heartless.
