[OOC] Guardians of Infinity

[Morden Man]

I really liked the concept but I guess even with a group as small as this getting everyone's schedules/lives in order to progress the story linearly was always going to be a tough ask.

@Morden Man

That's not so much an issue. (I can be pretty patient, there.)

Mainly it's a lack of posting, in general.

[Ruby]

I'll keep trying it.

Though I'm likely to remove Star Lord at this point, so I can focus on my own PC.

I don't know.
30 IC posts in a week is pretty good as far as Guild standards goes these days.
Gone are the glorious days of going to bed and waking up to 25+ new IC posts. And then being mad at people for posting too much.

Grass is always greener, huh.

It's staying open you win. lol

I will be doing a Shadowrun game, AND...maybe (MAYBE) a Game of Thrones game. If the GoT game drops I may have to reevaluate.

But I've enjoyed this game quite a bit (more if it would move without my pushing it), and I'm happy to keep it going. Love the ground assembled.

I'll get a post in after doing my chores.

Feel free to disrupt her journey for food lol She won't be happy about it but she may cave. (as long as she is promised food elsewhere and the quantity doubled) lol

Sorry folks. Recent events (read: school, and a demand for a certain RP) have forced me to go back on my word and close this down.

I'm very sorry, and I really liked the concept, to say nothing of the gathering of players, so I will put this in the archives with my "Runaways" idea as comic games to try again when I've got the time/willpower.

Few things: the "big bad" was a godling of the universe that the current universe's Big Bang destroyed in creating the current universe; it's spirit seared into a "living gem" not unlike the Infinity Gems. Literally we were dealing with a ghost story on a scale of cosmic badassery.

For those wondering, no, that was NOT an Infinity Gem that Peter was wearing.

Wanna know the rough plot outline? Read below.

Spoilers!

The end-game would have included a chase at speeds far beyond the speed of light (because fuck physics); the Milano chasing down the massive crystaline ghost 'vessel' to the edge of the universe, before it entered 'dark space' and maybe created another Big Bang (or maybe not); space/time would have blurred, allowing a fight, but with a place to pause for the characters to decide whether to attempt to 'kill' the ghost, reason with it, or just let it go.

Naturally, the ending would have depended on what our heroes chose, and if they came to blows with each other due to disagreement.

Someone would have been shot in the Real World, giving that character a taste of how the mundane deal with such things, and the reality of no hope of meta/super help.

After finding the Space Gem in the Real World, we would have hit Star Wars just in time to be captured by an Imperial Remnant in the Milano. Luke Skywalker would have come to the rescue, assisting in finding (and defeating) herald of Galactus the Silver Surfer, attempting to locate the Time Gem so his master may trade it to Thanos, though for what reason we would not have known. A fight with a cloned Darth Maul would have gone down, resulting in the maiming of one our party.

Our group would have sprung onto the Gotham City scene just in time to assist Batman in fighting his rogue's gallery. (Condiment King, anyone?) Batman would have helped our heroes figure out Thanos' end game, and taken our band to Zatana--in order to magically "call" Dream, of the Endless. Dream would have been able to explain that cosmic forces beyond the Endless had "stolen" Marvel's Death when Death of the Endless went missing, afraid of another Blackest Night, figuring the Marvel U could handle it on their end.

Of course, at the end, Batman would have told us all to "Get out of my city, and never come back." During this, Jean would have been forced into the Joker's head, and not to her benefit.

Steve would have recognized Bucky in the suit, and slyly/silently given a nod of approval. Our characters would have taken on a Hydra unit during the height of the Battle of the Bulge. The Red Skull would have in his possession another Infinity Gem, and once taken by our team, would have instantly 'zapped' us to the Virginia countryside...

...and right into the sights of Daryl and Michonne, from The Walking Dead. The pair would have lead us back to Alexandria, and a surprisingly casual meeting with Death of the Endless, unable to get home on her own. After a brush up with the Wolves and an immense horde, someone in the group would have been bitten, causing a choice to be made by the group. Death leads us back to the DCU, and a confrontation between Death of the MCU and Death of the DCU.

This would've lead to a return of Death, and a thankful Thanos would have revealed the location of the great crystalline ghost, the big bad. Then the chase, and the end game.

And of course, if you want to keep up with me, feel free to add me upon Skype or PM me.

Want to keep writing with me? Try Gowi's Maximum Comics, in which I currently play Wonder Woman.

Otherwise, I've currently got Shadowrun and Game of Thrones RPs in the pipeline.

Finally...thanks again, seriously. Most fun I've had in a while. <3 I sincerely hope to run into all of you again in the RP threads.

[Byrd Man]

Thank you for the fun, Ruby. I just couldn't resist one last Howard post.

[Ruby]

I don't know a better way to end this thread. lol

Thanks, @Byrd Man. We'll have to try and write together again without waiting a few years, next time. ^_^
