[OOC] (Dead) The Gifted World

[Kidd]

My goal is to post by tomorrow night at the latest, but I'll try for tonight.

[ScoundrelQueen]

@Framing A Moose So, Gwen question: Is her camouflage specific, like a photo of whatever she's in front of, or a more general match of the pattern/colors around her? Not that it has anything to do with the current scene. I'm just a wonderin'. Lol

[LorelleQuips]

On that note, I've very much been entertaining myself by trying to characterize the weirdo Erubescan scientist who was eccentric enough to come up with this but also somehow charismatic enough to convince the higher ups they should fund this project.

"Let's make a horse. With wings."
"Oh okay cool, like a Pegasus. That'll be popular."
"It must be smart. Like...person-smart."
"Yeah...okay, Dr., although--"
"And camouflage."
"Yeah okay, we have isolated the gene to make camo fur possible, but why--"
"You'll be able to read it."
"Huh?"
"Words will pop up on the horse so that it can communicate."
"Oh for the love. Want to make it effing jet-propelled while you're at it?"
"No. Don't be ridiculous."

[ScoundrelQueen]

I'm picturing that, or the eccentric Erubescan billionaire who commissioned it so his son could ask a girl to prom via horse-text and then pick her up on a pegasus. Because this horse is the epitome of Erubescan excess-meets-science.

@ScoundrelQueen
Well, the camouflage isn't exactly camouflage, that's just the main way it's used. The way it works is that she can change the color of her fur, which is why she's also able to make words appear on herself. However, due to her enhanced intellect, she's able to take in more detail than something that was relying on instinct alone, like, for example, a chameleon. But, to answer your question, I suppose it'd probably be somewhere in between. Hope all that helped! ^_^

@LorelleQuips
I was in a room full of people when I read this, and I burst out laughing. I got some very odd looks.

[Framing A Moose]

Also, do you guys think I should add an equipment section to Eddie's CS? I mentioned it to a degree in Eddie's appearance, but I'm not sure I made it obvious enough.

[LorelleQuips]

Eheheh. I live for making people get funny looks in public.

And I didn't feel like it needed a ton more information, unless there is some atypical kind of gear that wasn't mentioned at all. I'm frankly okay with many things revealed during in-character posting.

[ScoundrelQueen]

I'm with Lorelle on preferring to have stuff show up IC. Unless it's something really unusual. Like, I guess if she carried a bag with every known cure-all in existence on her back, and a fish take that can make food from nothing, maybe mention that ahead of time? But other than that, just post and we shall find out. (:

@VitoftheVoid
I don't really like auto-hitting, so I'm gonna go ahead and let you decide if Eddie actually lands on Kora. ^_^

[ScoundrelQueen]

This fast-paced posting gives me life, y'all. I'm about it.

[LorelleQuips]

I like all the posting.

[Kidd]

Sorry that was so long for a short post;; S'been a long weekend. I should be able to post more often this week.

[LorelleQuips]

No worries. We all have those weeks!

I am excited to see where all this is going, tho.

[Magister]

@Kidd Don't worry about it at all, post length isn't a problem.

If anyone interested in possible backstory links or writing characters who know eachother, I'm very open to that.

[Framing A Moose]

@VitoftheVoid
Hey, I hope you don't mind the whole thing with Eddie putting Kora's puzzle pieces together. I wanted to express her investigative skills, but if it seems to much like metagaming, tell me and I'll change it.

[VitoftheVoid]

@Framing A Moose Oh no problem, Kora doesn't really make her heritage much of a secret.

Also, Mag intro is up and I'll do a Kora/ORIN in the morning assuming I've got time, off on a trip so might be scarce for a few days!

[Framing A Moose]

@VitoftheVoid
Hey, was ORIN's voice at any point turned back to non-speaker?

[LorelleQuips]

Vit is out of town, I think, but my understanding was she's still on speaker since Kora said "We're not here to give the scrub a history lesson." If I'm wrong I'm sure you can edit after she gets back. :)

[VitoftheVoid]

@Framing A Moose All of it aside from the final set of directions was projected on speaker.

[ScoundrelQueen]

@Framing A Moose I don't mean to be proddy, but are you still interested in this scene? We haven't heard from you even ooc for a few days, and I just wanted to make sure you were still here. ^.^
