[OOC] Momento Mori

[Obscene Symphony]

Well, I think it boils down to this: are the changes an illusion, or have their bodies actually been transformed? I went with the latter, but Miriam's case is a little different, because her transformation has pretty serious consequences... And they only come into play if it's an actual transformation. If it's all illusion, I need to go back and change up the missing leg, to just have the leg be broken. :) Just to say it, I am a proponent of the transformations being actually real, in keeping with the subjective reality of a place like the Maire. Whether that means Abigail has cat-like reflexes or whatever, I can't say. We probably need Kiri to help us out there. EDIT: I'm loving everyone's different reactions to all this weirdness we just went through.

@Imperfectionist

Me too! I mean, it's a bit weird that most of them are getting up after a fall like that, but if we went with that thinking, then nothing in this story would be possible XD I have to say, I like the idea that Mitch might not be able to, say, physically interact with things or people unless under the effect of his flame. It would go well with his super secret phobia, that's for sure. I can understand why that wouldn't be allowed though. It's really all up to Kiri and Spades and either way I know this is going to be fun ^_^

[Kiri]

I haven't talked to Spades about it- but I'll check in with them later. At first I'd have preferred we just keep it as an illusion- but I really really like Mimi's limb displacement thing. Which makes me want to add abilities? But nothing too op, you know what I mean? Idk. I honestly need to check in with Spades. Honestly I think they'll be okay as long as you guys aren't, like, avoiding death through these added abilities. For example like Mitch escaping detection/harm because he's in ghost mode? Like thats op for me. So abilities in moderation? How does that sound? And so we're all on the same page you can all add an "Abilities" section to your Cs's for Spades and I to approve- But wait until I get the OK from them before you do anything :U Btw working on my post guys

@Kiri

Sounds perfectly fair. I was thinking that maybe Mitch would only be able to make physical contact in attack situations? For example, he wouldn't be able to touch someone to, say, shake their hand, but maybe any action in anger would make contact? I don't know. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Also, I don't know if you guys are RT people, but Monty Oum, creator of RWBY, Dead Fantasy, and part of the production of Red VS Blue, passed away yesterday. It's a hard time for many thousands of people, including myself. So today was a sad day, since we only found out today. But yeah. I felt like that should be mentioned. Even if you didn't know him, he was an incredibly creative person and a huge loss to the world. He was 33. Sorry for bringing down the mood, but I feel like it needs to be mentioned.

[Kiri]

Aw yeah I saw that on tumblr- really sad D: I don't watch RWBY but the communities massive and I can see how much its saddened the people I follow. But yeah about Mitch's ability- emotions play a big part in the rp. So if they alter his touch/perception of the world that'd be right on the money. Idk what to suggest you in the sense of what each emotion does, though. Btw. Hounds. Try not to die, guys. Someone get Mimi her leg and quick or she'll be done for

[Decker126]

Yes Monty will be missed. He was an extremely talented animator, and although I never met him he seemed like a great guy.

[Spades]

Posted. Also really sad to hear about Monty. Hearing someone who affected tons people through lovely animation pass away really just hits you hard. On a lighter note, Myles the prodigal son has returned Sorry i've been absent. Life stuff. Kiri seems to have everything in check though.

@Spades

No problem. Kiri can control us rowdy bunch. Also hey, floaty crew awhyeah XD

[Spades]

Floaty crew where it at bruh Hey i can edit my old posts now yay The dream world can stop being a wip lel

[Obscene Symphony]

I WILL POST SOON BUT FIRST I have decided how Mitch's ghosty-goo-ness is going to affect him. I figure that it's all based on emotions and intent, but since this is the opposite fear world that is the Maire, it works kind of in the opposite of what would be good. I figure that things will only come in physical contact with him if they have intent to harm or an other kind of negative thing. For example, a punch, a weapon, even a rock thrown with intent to harm someone. So, you can't shake his hand, but you can punch him. I figure this would develop gradually throughout the story. Sounds fair, right? I can't decide if this would just be when he's in a natural form and not when he's using his flame's power. I figure it would be, but that the flame power would wear off after a little while. Opinions, anyone? EDIT Sorry if my post seems a little hasty. Mitch isn't the panicking type most of the time, but I would think a bit of panic would arise in this situation. XD

@Obscene Symphony

I like that- i really do it sounds so messed up A+ Obscene yes. Your post was great, btw ;v; Btw all: I'm going to make a post in the characters tab for all the monsters they encounter. A bestiary. With just random crap about the monsters- over time i'll update with their weaknesses and stuff like that.

Thank you!!! I've always been oddly partial to the messed up. Glad you like it so much! ^_^

Sounds great! Now we can describe them :D

[Kiri]

We should really incorporate a live chat, @Spades.

Seconded! In my experience, Mibbit works pretty well, although it is pretty barebones. As far as I know, all you have to do to create a channel is enter its name and bam, created. Although I haven't been on in a while, so it might have changed. I AM NOT AN EXPERT

[Kiri]

I checked out Mibbit and then gave up after 20s. Chatzy is way simpler? Ima make a quick room and we could always take it down if Spades finds something better. Here it is The password is the latin word for a bad dream- Insomnium.

[Obscene Symphony]

I see that you made a bestiary post there Kiri Dem NPCs are lookin' bangin'

[Decker126]

Hey guys, before I finish my post I want to ask something. Since everyone is now taking on the characteristics of their costumes and Homer now lacks a neck, would it be alright if his head can detach? I now Kiri mentioned something along those lines back when the images were made and I thought I'd use that idea, if it's okay with everyone else.

I have no problem. But then again, I'm not exactly the deciding force here XD

I don't mind it.

[Decker126]

Sorry it took so long to get the post up, I was little busier than I thought I'd be.

[Spades]

That's aight bro. Huehuehue it seems that Homer has.. lost his head Ba dum tiss
