[OOC] Wolf Manor

[AuntFlavia]

@Jig haha omg I love Clifford

[Jig]

It's all about Mrs. Overall.

For anybody wondering about my personal accent, it's the same as Mrs. Overall but about one hundred times less pronounced.

[Jig]

Heads-up: it shouldn't mean anything long-term for this, but I've just embraced a crisis of currently unknown proportions so it could be anything from a couple of days to a week of no-show for me. None of it's health-stuff or anything like that, but suddenly the support I'm getting for my degree is threatening to pull itself out from under me and I really need to look at it ASAFP. Will let you know more when I have more.

[corneredbliss]

Oh shit, go get 'em boss!

[AuntFlavia]

Oh snap, I hope that works out for you

[MyCatGinger]

WE'RE ROOTING FOR YA, JIGERMEISTER.

EDIT: I swear to god, I only understand...um. Maybe 30% of what Mrs Overall says, without actively paying attention to deciphering her English words.

[Jig]

Cheers for the loves. It'll probably be fine. I'm quite intense at the minute and so apparently a little melodramatic in a really weird, life-embracing sort of a way. Not sure.

As you all know, I'm shortly moving to Amsterdam and what with Jig's Remarkably Astounding Partner, Jig's Hitherto Unmentioned Friends and Family and the general shenaniganry of the move, my time is still questionable. Standard rules apply; I'll probably be around, but, if I'm not, don't panic, and, if you need me, bing me. Most of you have a way of getting in touch with me, so don't be bashful. The worst I'll say is 'can't, too busy'.

In other news, it'd be really nice to be done with this section before I head off.

And for those of you not in the know, Lake-Bomb is go go go.

[AuntFlavia]

Ah, cool. Good to hear, Jig. Don't you worry your Jiggy little head, we'll be here!

And for those of you not in the know, Lake-Bomb is go go go.

@Jig

Suddenly I'm dreading that fishing session that Jonas is most definitely going to do. D:

[Jig]

Currently, my plan, by the way, is to drop the Lake-Bomb and then seize the reigns so the fallout gets eaten up by my narration. I would expect that the fallout would be another wide-open road of carnage and general inactivity, and, without me being around, the Wolfs kind of vanish into the scenery a little bit, as they have in this section. So Jig is going to briefly take the wheel.

Therefore, in PLBPS (Post Lake-Bomb Planning Scenario), I will be asking for immediate reactions to Lake-Bomb, and then delayed reactions - this will make more sense when you know wtf I'm talking about. This is basically so I can take the reigns and close the section myself, in my own impeccable, incongruently-present-tense fashion. I'll also try to use that section to retroactively insert the Wolfs into the action by maybe alluding to interactions with them throughout the day, so I'll also be asking for some of those. This might even be something you could brainstorm now. ♫

This is assuming, of course, that the parts of Lake-Bomb I can't control explode as I'm expecting them to, which, naturally, they won't. If they don't, I'm gonna have to spend some time, uhh, reworking the whole damn plot. And no, I'm not going to intervene to make sure this doesn't happen. Your game is to not get killed. Mine is to rack up as high a body-count as I can while making sure it still makes sense and if I cheat, then that's a bit rubbish.

[AuntFlavia]

I've trying to avoid meta gaming like crazy, for instance I absolutely know that Cthulhu is napping in that lake and that rowing a dinky little canoe in the middle of it is as TERRIBLE idea. But, JL doesn't really know that. He probably wants to forget all the weird stuff that's happened and relax doing one of his favorite hobbies. Thus: Cthulhu Fishing.

Either that, or I just really love putting my characters in the danger zone. It's happened before. *shrug*

[Jig]

Honestly, if it makes it more fun for you, meta-game this to shit. For the sake of narrative, make it consistent, so don't just give Jonas a 'feeling' about what he has to do, but if you want to contrive coincidences to leak information you know somebody else has so he can use it, the Wolfs are up for that and you know where the others are. When I last sent somebody a Shenanigan, I explicitly told them I was happy for them to meta-game with that information to maybe influence or affect other characters.

[AuntFlavia]

Oh no, I didn't make my tone clear enough; the less I metagame, the more fun I have. And it usually involves maniacal giggling. Seriously though, I think it gets me more into character, trying to put myself in their shoes knowing only what they know.

[Jig]

... I can see why you joined the original game. :P

[AuntFlavia]

Well that, and it wasn't at all related to anime, superhero academies, zombies, post apocalyptic survival, anime demons, anime vampires, anime demon/vampire hunters, demigods, or anime demigod vampire zombies who are going to school in a post apocalyptic survival setting.

Edit: Actually, I probably would've joined that last one.

[Jig]

or anime demigod vampire zombies who are going to school in a post apocalyptic survival setting.

@AuntFlavia

Well hot damn you just gave away the ending.

[AuntFlavia]

@Jig Just throw in modern day versions of greek gods and we'll be none the wiser.

[MyCatGinger]

Shamelessly admitting to cringing at half of what @AuntFlavia mentioned and staring in both wonder and awe at the other half. <<
Anime is a guilty pleasure, but mostly it has a lot more to do with the actual storyline and not the anime characters uguu desu desu. Unless it's for gits and shiggles. And then it's totally okay to go ALL OUT OTAKU DEEEESUUUUUUU

[AuntFlavia]

@MyCatGinger This is just like one of my Japanese animes!

I don't actually hate anime. It's just not for me. _{(actually i briefly read manga when i had time for that sort of thing, shhhh)}

[Jig]

To be fair, more adult Pokemon fans (allow the paradox, just for me) would fucking love the shit out of Pokemon Adventures/Pokemon Special manga. It features the corpses of Pokemon being possessed by ghosts, multiple characters dying, pretty much every unique NPC that appears in the games, and a motherfucking Arbok getting bisected.

I also read Fullmetal Alchemist until the end and Death Note until

Legit Spoiler

L dies; no further because I hated N and thought the movie's plot was much neater

but I don't have a billion hours to waste any more.

[AuntFlavia]

Let me see if I can remember what I'd read, it's been a few years. I started Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and got to the beginning of part 4, and there was Vinland Saga (in which there was a guy who threw TREES around with his MIGHTY VIKING STRENGTH), plus there was Beelzebub, which is actually where my old avatar came from. I kinda remember starting One Piece too, but again it was a while ago.
