[OOC] We Are the Crystal Gems

[Pathfinder]

It's.... something but yeah, woo.

[Loony]

@Kronshi It's cool. ^ v ^ It along with alteration of emotions would both be references to Calomel's own powers rather than based off her own properties as a gem and as a character.

[Loony]

@Pathfinder Whatever it is I'm sure it's great Path. ' w ' Off to read it right now before I hit the hay~

[Kronshi]

@Loony I prefer the smoke one since the others don't really relate to her powers. One just affects emotions and the other is simply an effect that is likely for all gems to feel when they overload their powers.

[Loony]

@Kronshi Alrighty, one vote for smoke it is~ I'm not sure if that's the one I'll go with yet but I'm definitely putting it into consideration.

[Loony]

Anyways, got to hit the hay now. G'night everyone~

@Loony

Nighty night Loony

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Pathfinder

Awesome post Path! ^-^

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Night Loony!

Now that the subject has been diverted, I command you all to talk about something more productive! Like puppies, pandas, maybe even how wonderful the world is or how awesome we are for making this RP.

Also@Guardian Angel Haruki My idea for a poison is something that overloads the sense or something.

@Raijinslayer

That sounds like an interesting idea Raijin!

However, after reading the conversation about this idea, I have to say that overloading the senses is not the same as inducing hyperactivity. When the senses are overloaded, the perception is affected negatively, and thus affects behavior. People can not only miss incoming information from the overload, but they can also have difficulty concentrating, focusing on a task, and socializing. The symptoms also include irritability, sleepiness/fatigue, and oversensitivity (that's just to name a few).

Even with the sensory overload, a person still wouldn't exactly feel everything. The sensory organs can take in the information, but the brain wouldn't be able to register everything, and in some cases, the brain would give you nothing out of all of that information.

[Raijinslayer]

@Guardian Angel HarukiThat works to, it'd essentially be something that affects how their physical bodies interpret things, cranking everything up to the max instantly for about 5-10secs. Sure to leave then quite overwhelmed and what not for a bit, easy prey for Tiger Iron to takedown

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@Raijinslayer OK. ^^

But one more question: Do you want to include proprioception (position and movement of the body) among the senses to be overwhelmed by the poison?

[Raijinslayer]

How would that work?

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

With proprioception, the brain plans out the movement before the person decides to do a certain action, and has the position of body parts relative to the brain on hand (to speak colloquially). There is a case where a person who lost his proprioception couldn't move his body without spending a lot of his time in physical therapy, and even after that, he could only walk so long as he was looking at his feet and was consciously working to place one foot in front of the other.

So, it could work like that, or it could work like another case, where someone thought they had a really long neck, like from Alice in Wonderland.

[Raijinslayer]

Mah, I think what we have is good, though you could use that for someone else's poison if you can find the right fit.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

OK. ^_^

And oh my gosh! I feel so sad for Mars now!! ;_;

[Raijinslayer]

@Guardian Angel HarukiYeah, he's having an Amethyst moment right now. And Reggie's like "Kirk, what kinda mad science did you do to fuck these kids up!"

[Loony]

@Raijinslayer Spinel, Eve, Emerald and Mars are all going to have their Amethyst moments, aren't they?

Also bleh, can't sleep, will have Eve post while I'll still feeling it.

I can't wait to see Reggie's reaction once he finds out about Eve's creation...

[Kronshi]

@Raijinslayer Hey, the only one I changed on a chemical level was Spinel. Anybody else's problems are due to them being fucked up in the head.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

*distant crashing and shouting is heard from the sidelines*
"How DARE you!!!!"
"Carnelian, stop! I'm sure he didn't mean it! Besides, you haven't shown up in IC yet!"
"Dahling, this is between Bloodstone and I! He made the mistake of insulting a proper lady such as I! Besides, this isn't canon!"
*Carnelian appears and storms towards Bloodstone angrily with her fan out* "The only one who is messed up in the head, Bloody Dahling, is you,"

[Raijinslayer]

@Kronshi"And I'm sure that was the most eloquent way you could say that, wasn't it. Tumblr woukd tear you to pieces."

Alt.Mars:" Well, in his defense, he does have a-"

"Shut it, Captain Crayola, I wasn't askin' for your opinion."

Alt.Mars has no reply, as he's to busy trying to figure out how ine should respond tobe called 'Captain Crayola'

Edit:@Guardian Angel Haruki*In response to Carnelian's entrance, all if Raijin's character's nod in unison*

"We like her."
