Friday DE: for no pennies a day...

[thebattycakes]

Hello Milliwaaaaaaaays! Welcome to Friday.

So, it's been awhile and you want to play, you'd really like to put your pup into the bar and have some pretendy funtimes with folks but... your stumped for ideas.

Sound familiar? I've heard a few people mention this problem, and I know I've certainly been afflicted. Blanking On An EP Syndrome strikes us all at some point friend, and today's DE is here to help.

Seeking help is simple, just follow these four steps:
1. Post in with a list of your pups
2. Others will tag in with EP ideas
3. Use any of them now, or hoard them away for another day
4. Help your fellows with the same

There is of course no obligation to use the suggestions you receive, but isn't it comforting to know they're there?

As for the EP suggestions, make them serious, make them funny, make them random as hell, just make them. The pups of Milliways are counting on your support.

My batch:

Barry Allen
Cisco Ramon
Logan
Matt Murdock
Bill Pardy

[bjornwilde]

Matt....doing the macarena :P
Barry...figuring out origami
Cisco...doing VR or AR, as you prefer
Logan...dosed on Pixie's dust
Bill Pardy...attempting to work a yo-yo

[sardonicynic]

(You may have similarly incorporated some of these at some point? If so, hello, I am the worst.)

→ Cisco: Entering the bar straight from Hall H at SDCC, practically floating from the panel he just witnessed
→ Logan: A gardening session with Ororo provides Logan with some inspo on the Milliways grounds
→ Matt: Thanks to a previous convo with Foggy, Matt is poking into INTRO TO INTERGALACTIC SPACE LAW - bonus points if there's an audiotextbook and/or shimmering avatar delivering a lecture
→ Bill: Hiking the Milli-woods (during daylight hours only, of course, it would be terrible to suggest otherwise)

[bjornwilde]

Oh, me likey

Current batch:
Ahsoka Tano
Sabine Wren
Jessica Drew
Viv Vision
Tybalt
Ben Hargreeves
Alustin Haber
Wen Qing

[from_the_outside]

Ahsoka: Bar gives her a scavenger/treasure hunt! She needs partners!

Jess: Has a song stuck in her head and is looking for distractions.

[bjornwilde]

OMG I love these.

[thebattycakes]

Ahsoka - practicing forms outside

Sabine - playing with Legos

Jess - bartending shift with a NY theme

Viv - interacting with a horse

Tybalt - spills a drink

Ben - painting

Alustin - accidentally falls into the lake

Wen - given a laser pointer

[bjornwilde]

These are all great!

[sardonicynic]

Ahhh, I adore this. With stale moves being a personal malady, I am forevs obliged re: EP inspo! I've been thinking of tossing Benjamin and Ray-Ray back in for weeks upon weeks now, and have yet to do so; this DE topic sounds like kismet to me:

→ Ben Wade | 3:10 to Yuma [2007] (almosthonorable)
→ Raylan Givens | Justified (itwasjustified)

Equal opportunity for the ladies in my roster:

→ Claire Temple | Daredevil, et al. [Marvel MCU] (nocturnalmedicine)
→ Kate Warner | 24 (justdidntseeit)

[from_the_outside]

Raylan: Bar gives him a McGuffin that belongs to someone else and he needs to figure out who to return it to. Plot twist! The person it belongs to doesn't go here anymore.

Claire: Finds a message in a bottle washed up on the shore of the Caribbean inlet.

[sardonicynic]

HEARTS IN MY EYES.

[thebattycakes]

EEEE yaaass. You know I want all yours around forever :D

Ben - loses his hat for a bit, Bar provides "helpful" replacement options

Raylan - (see also Ben Wade's XD) or something smells, and it's Raylan

Claire - visiting the inlet, because she totally deserves a day on the beach!

Kate - being given the most ridiculous and elaborate cocktail type drink by Bar

[thesecondjade]

Lan Zhan
Vex
Zenigata
Zuko

[thebattycakes]

Lan - comes across a baby bunny in the forest

Vex - unexpectedly receives a cake for no reason

Zenigata - behind on his paperwork, he uses Milliways to try and catch up

Zuko - cleaning out the forge

[heartofthedream]

Jean Grey
Jo Harvelle
Lady Marian
Sara Lance


Also, vaguely applicable
Audrey Parker
Steve McGarrett
XVII || The Star

[from_the_outside]

MARIAN AND THE HOPE.

*coughs*

[queenofmay]

omg. yes. this should happen.

It's spring! She needs to check over the ship & maybe take a sail.

[thebattycakes]

Jean - enjoying a day out in, or maybe flying over, the lake or inlet

Jo - receiving smiley pancakes for breakfast

Marian - doing a puzzle

Sara - sitting in a booth with Beebo

Audrey - emergency dry cleaning or laundry

Steve - snow cone

Star - while I'm not sure off the top of my head how it would work, I am amused by the idea of The Star playing Uno.

[heartofthedream]

Jean - Yeessss. I love this plan. I have designs on bringing her back in someday soon (maybe June? when school ends and maybe my soul lets me write again?) from Krakoa and the most current version of the books.

Jo - HHHHHHHAAA Omg. I really may keep this.

Marian - This could be nice, and it would be easy for people to join in and help.

Sara - ... maybe. We'll see. I don't think she'd specifically do it willingly. But she might roll her eyes and just deal if the bar made a Beebo toy appear.

Steve - SNOW CONES AND SO MANY OPINIONS ABOUT THEY ARE NOT SHAVED ICE AND THEY ARE NOT PREPARED RIGHT AND WHY IS THIS JUST ICE AND SYRUP AND NOT EVEN GREAT ICE AT THAT.

Star - She would probably love trying to figure out the rules, all exuberantly interesting and nose wrinkling at the insensiblity of it.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato Ishida.

[thebattycakes]

He orders a slice of pizza and gets a whole (giant) pie

Him and Gabumon playing catch or frisbee or something

Bar or a rat gives him a Jenga tower

[chanter1944]

Oh so very putting Sariel Rager in for this, because blanking on eps is my life of late. This is what I get for playing a reserved person when I myself am... *ahem* not. :P

[thebattycakes]

So these are kind of embarrassing, but they force interaction :D

Bar gives Sariel a giant, ridiculous ice cream sundae

Milliways catches her by surprise and she trips into someone/someone's table

She somehow gets locked outside (backdoor)

[chanter1944]

*laughs!* I love the first one, especially. The second is also plausible if the Enterprise is bouncing around, but I'd have to check canon for timing. The third, hmm. That could lend itself to a wider tinyplot. *considers it*

[ceitfianna]

This is a useful DE.

Cassian Andor
Charles Xavier
Quentin
Sameth
Moist von Lipwig
Demeter

[thebattycakes]

Cassian - Cassian wins a month's supply of donuts! All at once.

Charles - I think it would be cute and fun if Charles set up an afternoon tea with an open invite to anyone who comes along

Quentin - for some inexplicable reason, Quentin is being trailed by a wait rat

Sameth - he finds a thingamabob or whatzit hanging around and tries to figure out what it is

Moist - his pocket has been picked, everyone is a suspect

Demeter - fresh garden bed, seeds and seedlings, open invitation to anyone to come plant something. Alternatively, she sets up a table with supplies for flower pot decorating

[have_no_mercy]

Tess
Creed
Wanda

[thebattycakes]

Tess - looking over exterior photos of the Watchtower, possibly for design ideas or repairs or something, it would just be interesting for people to see it.

Creed - Bartending. Or, he has a kitten he found somewhere

Wanda - watching Tentacles of our Waves

[take_that]

Yeah, okay.

Gaster
Urania
Phoenix
Lup

[thebattycakes]

Gaster - interacting with baby ducks, or baby turtle ducks since those exist in the lake

Urania - outside with a telescope

Phoenix - sampling different flavors of ice cream with tiny spoons

Lup - has a sneeze attack in the bar

[alongfallfromgrace]

This boy (more for after canon is over)

Cecil Palmer

Jon Sims

Klaus Hargreeves (though I really need to get this boy to 'Nam)

I need to EP someone today, so hit me up. :D

[thebattycakes]

Cecil - listening to the original broadcast of War of the Worlds

Jon - gets a note clearly meant for someone else, or is it?

Klaus - drink explosion, he cracks a bottle or can of something and FWOOOOSH!

[canttrickmeanymore]

Peter Parker
Harry Dresden

Mostly - hit me with entry ideas for when they're already in-bar. Bringing them back in from the outside I'm usually pretty good with; it's the starting from already being there....

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Peter accidentally steps on the haunted Dance Dance Revolution machine and is forced into uncontrollably dancing for the duration of a song. It doesn't necessarily have to be any of the songs from the Spiderman rock musical, but it doesn't not have to be them either.

[thebattycakes]

Peter - Bar gives him a science kit to play with, like a 'Build your own solar robot' or 'Build a rocket' or something.

Harry - order mix-up. Instead of getting something like spicy chicken nuggs he gets the Nuclear Fire ones.

[canttrickmeanymore]

y do u want to hurt my wizard? his life is already suck in every book....

[ostro_goth]

My currently played characters would be:

- Teja
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter
- Wen Ning
- Jin Guangyao
- Tang Fan

with
- Ye Baiyi old_monster
in the app queue -- so for him I would take some first EP ideas. You may have already met him in the latest All-Skate.
