[OOC] A Gift and a Curse

[Gisk]

@R31GN Problem with geography in post, and this is kind of my fault for discouraging you from reading the OOC because it's actually come up already.

This isn't a normal, sunny fun tourist beach. We're talking more like this:



Imagine that the town is up on top of that cliff, and all of the shops on "Beach Street" are basically right on the edge, overlooking it.

The beach is definitely a staple of town life(so it makes sense to meet there, or to hang out there) but there aren't any shops down there, because high tide comes right up to the cliff face.

This fact kind of ruins a lot of the flavor and background of your post, but it's a thing.

He might also remark that he hasn't seen Audrey in a couple years, she's been gone since she dropped out of high school, and this is the first she's returned to town(and it's very likely that she was a customer of his for some time).

@AbandonedIntel

It's not that I don't have tons of cool ideas for powers already on hand, it's that I'm not sure what to fit her with.

Have you read the post about how powers were chosen? I don't remember if I asked you not to, I was trying to keep it a secret from people before they posted.

@Kyrisse

I'm gonna make a kind of executive request, that you change your post so that when James knocks her back, she stumbles toward Audrey and tries to steady herself on her. I'm going to post assuming that they touched each other, sorry if it seems like I'm making you do something, but it's a really natural moment for them to touch, which I wanted to happen.

[Gisk]

@AbandonedIntel Alright, I got it, I think. I may change it suddenly, but here goes:

Animal Bond: She has created an intrinsic link between herself and her dog, Kirk. Through it, both have taken on some of each other's traits. Gabby has a greater hearing and sense of smell(not on the same level as Jasmine, mind), but also gains some of his nature. She becomes protective to the point of aggression.

Kirk, meanwhile, has become a great deal smarter through his link with Gabby. He is far beyond any dog, and most animals, and even has some level of self awareness and capacity for reason. He sees her as his pack leader, and will obey her unflinchingly, and with his new level of intelligence is able to take on much more complicated commands. He doesn't need to be trained to turn the light off, because when she tells him to, he knows what it is that she's trying to communicate.

Though he may gain some capacity for English, he does not automatically understand it(though he understands her through their link) and will have to learn from others trying to talk to him.

@Gisk

No problem. I'll edit later. ^_^

[BogeyDope]

@Gisk That's actually a pretty damn cool power :D Nice catch, and thanks!

[BogeyDope]

@Gisk And regarding your previous post, I didn't recall you saying anything else other than "I decide" and that superpowers were discovered shortly after the RP started... oh. Is that your point? Lol

@Gisk

Ah. My bad, I'll fix that up... somehow? I'll figure something out

[Mixtape Ghost N]

@Gisk I'll make a Zoey post later... Still unsure of how to go about it, but I'll come up with something!

[Gisk]

@AbandonedIntel

Ha, no, actually. I was intentionally choosing powers that would counter their personality or interests in some way.

So, for her, I was latching on to her dislike for conflict, as well as her love of animals(and her dog specifically). For her to use her power, there's a good possibility that she'll put her dog at risk(But don't worry, Audrey can heal dogs too). There's also a slight increase in her own aggressive tendencies, which she'll likely notice and dislike about herself.

@GiskLIke direwolves

[BogeyDope]

@Gisk Oh okay, I see now. I'll be sure to put that into play then, I figured that's what should be going on anyway. So I'm assuming that she's approved? :D

@Gisk

I think I might've not been present for when this was mentioned, but what is Audrey's power, now that I think about it?

[Mixtape Ghost N]

@R31GN It's healing at the cost of her suffering the wounds, I believe.

[Eyeris]

I'll post good bAe tomorrow might

[Gisk]

@AbandonedIntel Yeah, approved.

@R31GN The other players actually voted on her power.

She heals people at touch, involuntarily. And when she does so, she takes on a diminished version of their injury.

And you know, I should have edited it into her CS on the character tab, my bad, I'll take care of that.

[Gisk]

So, little sneak peak:

Very shortly, there will be military/government intervention in the town, as well as super powered villains.

And don't expect to stop running into super powers after leaving the town.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

cool

[Mixtape Ghost N]

Also, I've been thinking that we come up with our own term for the superhumans of this city.

I'm thinking the "Cursed."

@Mr Allen J

Oh, I think I never actually mentioned it in this thread, but when I did this RP before it was "Miracles." It came from when the children were dying, and the few that survived were called the "Greenbriar Miracles," and they were just called the same thing when they became super powered.

[Ellion]

I have the achy fever and the dumb. I'll try to get a post up later.... But we shall see
