Wednesday DE: Weird Stuff

[ostro_goth]

What's the most bizarre, cracky, and canon non compliant possession your character has gained since coming to Milliways?

Example: Teja has a rocket launcher from Team Fortress 2

This is years ago, but Alex Knox owns an iPod and a laptop computer. Which was incredibly strange for him since he was from the early 90s at the time! He never knew what to do with the computer, but he kind of liked the iPod.

I almost forgot we had people from that game for a while. Nice.

Ysa has a holographic projector computer-book alchemized by Karkat. She runs mathematical simulations involving chemistry and physics on it.

For Amascut, it's the T-Minus client. She doesn't so much possess it though, she just abandoned it in a barrel of apples and never really bothered with it ever again.

It's a bit harder to tell with Fairy Fixit because Zanaris is a lot like Milliways anyhow and fairy magic/tech is bullshit/ill-defined.

Jim has stuff from Karkat too. His 4D chess game, his modelling software etc. He has one of Green Arrow's bows, given to him by Green Arrow while visiting Tess. He has a Kryptonite tie pin from Tess (but no volcano lair yet, girl, he's still salty about that), and his personality written as music from the hands of a Bright Shiner. Also, an artistically carved dildo courtesy of X, though that's probably only canon non-compliant due to who gave it to him. Also, kitten stickers. :D

I feel like I'm forgetting stuff. People have given Jim lots of cool things, which he is surprised but very pleased about! He thinks more people should give him stuff, he likes it. I think he's a toddler to whom who adults keep passing shiny toys to keep him occupied, but don't tell him I said that.

Adrian Shephard has a magical silver hand and right forearm thanks to a plot-related amputation and the intervention of Kreyu the dragon. It has to go back to the Fair Folk of Elysium when he dies.

None of mine have received anything that I can think of.

[bjornwilde]

I can't think of anything except Selina picking up a t-minus.

[immortalthief]

That would easily be the lightsaber from Mace Windu.

All of mine have picked up odd things here and there (Alistair has his T-Minus device, Curtis has his Martian Barsoomian prosthetic arm), but I think Gaeta wins for the oddest one: Gogo the pet/therapy dodo.

Ngl, it was total self-indulgence on my part. If anyone deserves a cute, fuzzy companion as they navigate their afterlife? It's Felix frakking Gaeta.

A++ therapy dodo

Yrael has a successful music career in New Orleans, and a Quick-Quotes Quill for recording sheet music as the music is played.

Rae has her Incantus spellbook and magic-focusing ring from Balthazar, and her T-Minus, which is pretty innovative for her. Her world is one where mobile phones are just starting to be a thing people might be expected to have (her mother will try to insist, but Rae will resist getting one as long as possible, because she has to lie regarding her whereabouts too much already, and this would just lead to more to explain why she didn't answer...).

Emcee is kind of frugal and old-fashioned when it comes to modern technology so he only borrows smartphones, tablets, and digital music players from the Bar. I think it's his taste in music (disco, classic rock, '80s dance pop) that's the most bizarre.

[iprotectyou]

Baze has picked up a pair of neon pink running shoes by Lady Margolotta. I'm not sure he'll take a T-Minus, both because a) I can't see a use for it for him, b) Chirrut would be the only person Baze would text, and they can talk in person, and c) I have no idea what his handle would be.

Kate Warner (justdidntseeit) has a bona fide Pong console from the '70s, thanks to Paul Avery, and it is tremendous in every way.

Ben Wade (almosthonorable) and Raylan Givens (itwasjustified) haven't collected possessions so much as bizarre experiences -- but Ben does have an impressive Bar-bestowed collection of My Little Ponies, come to think of it.
