[OOC] Legends Among Us (Pokemon RP) (closed)

[Ardent Dawn]

@Thundercrash My guess would be the hilarity of Porygon-Z's social ineptitude - he's built up quite a reputation by now :P

[Zanavy]

'Cause it's funny XD

Unexpect the expected around here.

[Thundercrash]

I figured that. I'm curious what Porygon-Z's justification is.

Think I'm going to wait and see what other reactions will be.

[Zanavy]

Legends Among Us has now been active for one week! And we have eight PCs!

To celebrate, I put everyone who posted this week in a random drawing for a prize. And the winner is........

......................................................

......................................................

Vuduin!

@EklispeYou have won one X-item of your choice. Apparently Vuduin won it in a raffle earlier. Or he found it. Or it spontaneously appeared in his bag. I dunno.

Next week, everyone who posts will get a bonus!

[Eklispe]

Nice, thank you random fan #2341 who somehow managed to slip an X-speed into my bag.

[Leos Klien]

I think we should wait a bit for both Rethel and EclipseDragon to post before we continue, don't want to leave them too far behind.

[Rethel34]

Getting a post up in seconds. BTW, @Zanavy, typically, Kaze's bell is like Seras', worn as a necklace, but for now is kept in his pocket.

A thought has occurred to me regarding how Rebeca's temperature powers work, and I'd like to clarify some things for future reference.

In the current situation, Rebeca's temperature is rising on account of her mounting frustration with what's going on, and this is noticeable. However, you would really only notice it if you were basically standing right next her. In her normal state Rebeca's skin would feel like she has a very high fever, and if it was raining you'd see steam coming off her due to the water droplets evaporating. I've seen this same thing happen to bald people in real life, their heads start steaming because your head is one of the warmest parts of your body due to all the blood flow to your brain. Her temperature does fluctuate in response to her emotional state, but in much the same way that a regular human's does; you get a little hotter when you're angry because your body is preparing itself for a fight or flight scenario, and when you're depressed your temperature drops, for reasons that I can't recall at the moment. Additionally, the human body's core temperature naturally fluctuates over the course of the day as it self-regulates relative to its environment, usually only by a couple of degrees unless something is going very wrong. Rebeca just has a naturally higher starting point and her range of variation from that point is a little wider.

There are two situations in which Rebeca's body naturally experiences a drastic change in temperature.

The first is when she's physically exerting herself. For example, if you were to walk into a gym either during or after she's been training or fighting for a while, it would feel like you just walked into a sauna or steam room. Touching her would hurt if you held onto her for a while, but it wouldn't be much worse than a first degree burn. Otherwise, her environment would be basically intact, just uncomfortably warm for anyone other than her. Obviously the smaller the space, the faster it warms up and the more uncomfortable it would be.

The second is when she's actually using her flame powers. Her use of these powers is basically the same as the way you use your limbs; mostly they are under her conscious control, but sometimes (usually when she's extremely agitated) she uses them out of reflex. That's when things get all burny and melty around her, and she winds up naked. If you've ever been pissed enough to want to punch something, and then actually did it, that's the condition that Rebeca has to be in for accidents to occur. It is a state she doesn't reach very often, because A. she believes that most things aren't worth getting all worked up for (though she's still human, and her self-control has limits, she just usually leaves before then), and B. she's very much aware of what happens when she DOES lose her temper. Even in battle, she doesn't often use her flame powers unless she feels that it's necessary.

For the current situation, if you were standing close to her you would feel that the air is noticeably warmer, though still well within tolerable ranges, like if your were holding your hand next to a room heater or central heating vent while the furnace is running. If you were paying very close attention, you would see heat waves coming out of her mouth and nose as she breathed. She's safe to touch, she just probably won't let you. The burning of the foam is a result of its chemicals reacting to extended exposure to her higher temperatures. As a reminder, she has a Kabuto clinging to her chest underneath her shirt who is just now getting uncomfortable with how warm her host is getting.

I just dropped some SCIENCE! on ya'll! *drops the mic and walks away*

[Ardent Dawn]

@Eklispe Could you edit a rely to my character's question into the post? I should probably have been more specific with my description, but I meant to introduce myself properly to Vuduin before the action kicked off :P

[Eklispe]

Oh sorry, not your fault on description, my fault for skimming a little too much. On it.

[Leos Klien]

Wells - making friends at every turn :D

[Ardent Dawn]

Alas, poor Wells, we hardly knew thee :P

[Thundercrash]

Rebeca shall be appropriately impressed.

[Leos Klien]

I'll be posting some time tonight by the way people.

[Chimera]

Alrighty. I'mma be gone for the next 3 days, so that's why I avoided having Hope directly interact with anyone.

For the TL;DR crowd, do acknowledge that your food has been sabotaged, thank you very much.

Have a great week, lovies.

[Leos Klien]

@Chimerahave fun doing what ever you are doing!
You'll have a lot of reading to do once you return :P

[Leos Klien]

The...need....to... type "colour" in place of "color".... is strong...

Damn American coding and bastardisation of the English language! *Shakes fist angrily at thin air*

[Zanavy]

Some of us Americans might take offense at your suggesting your ways of defining things are the "right" ways. But no, I think some of your ways make more sense than ours. Like, why the heck do we have a measurement of distance that's 5280 of another measurement? Wtf.

[Ardent Dawn]

@Zanavy English doesn't really have a 'right way' left any more, but you can appreciate how years of high school teachers aggressively correcting any 'incorrect' spellings can leave a few mental scars :P

The UK still use miles instead of switching to kilometres, though, which I never quite understood. We're two of the three countries in the world who haven't gone metric with distance.

[Ardent Dawn]

Just recruited one of my friends to the RP - he should be posting a character bio tonight :)
