SEVERELY REVISED on 2 April 2008 due to Blue Beetle #25 blowing a lot of assumptions out of the water. JOHN ROGERS ILU WHYYY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE BOOK WHYYYY ...anyway.Jaime's powers come from the Scarab - originally thought to be a magic artifact, then a piece of sentient alien tech (more on this below) that went and embedded itself in his ( Read more... )

ooc, reference, tl;dr

Ok, Lain Iwakura and Lain of the Wired are a 10++ on the scale ( ... )

1 - 10... where's 11? wired_goddess August 20 2007, 08:52:28 UTC

I forgot to say that both Lain's can tell when something is amiss and so would know something is up with Jaime himself.
Both would know their being assessed and studied but neither will make much of a fuss.

OH MAN I totally forgot about the Lain's. While Jaime would prefer that the scarab ignores their stats, I have no problem with it freaking out. The power level for either one is just going to set it off. I seriously doubt it's going to attack, but Jaime has officially lost all hope of getting through his Sorting without the armor coming out at least once. If you don't mind, that is. XD

As for the origins - the "alien construction" one will freak Jaime out 'cause that'll remind him WAY TOO MUCH of the aliens who created the scarab in his head. (Which I will now explain at length since Lain will be able to scan him ( ... )

I give an ok for any reaction you deem in character.

Ok, the Alien origin is mentioned off hand but most of the details are given over the last few episodes.

I picked W-Lain in the end because she's rather blunt whilst Lain is still playing the part of 'sweet school-girl' W-Lain will just start asking about anything that interests her without any regard for her own privacy. (Not that I've always been completely consistent with either. ^_^b)

In a scan of her it'll find she isn't human. It may see she's an alien construct but the aliens are never developed in detail and are simply shown as the all too familiar 'grey' alien. If DC has any equivalent feel free to make comparisons.

Lain Iwakura will also turn up, if you don't mind both of them.

Go for it. Preferably in the same thread, because even though Sidney witnessed the freakout I'd like him to get the scarab under control enough to turn the armor off before Sidney speaks up - and another one is just going to start the whole thing over again. Jaime just can't get a break. :)

Ok, Lain'll pop by in the morning. Don't mind the sock-puppetry that'll take place, I'll try to keep it brief between them for the sake of your inbox.

Right now I need sleep, it's two thirty in the morn and I can barely even type this. See ya in twelve or so hours.

Re: 1 - 10... where's 11? bantersucks August 20 2007, 21:14:03 UTC

Don't worry about the sockpuppetry. I'm 10 hours ahead, so Jaime won't be tagging back for a bit. You can have the two of them go at it for a bit while both Jaime and the scarab WTF at them.

Bed time again, night night.

P.S Don't mind my typos, I suck a proof-reading and my auto-spellcheck tends to make things worse.

Re: 1 - 10... where's 11? internetgoddess August 22 2007, 04:23:08 UTC

Before I continue, Mind if Lain learned Jamie's name and a few assorted trivia about him whilst she was working out what the Scarab is?

Nothing universe altering, just a basic idea of how he ended up bonded to it. (More or less just what's in his Wiki entry.)

Re: 1 - 10... where's 11? bantersucks August 22 2007, 04:33:34 UTC

Hey, that's fine. No problems here.

Re: 1 - 10... where's 11? bantersucks August 22 2007, 05:52:17 UTC

Okay, my turn to pass out as it's almost 2 and I have work tomorrow. Probably won't be able to tag for another 15 hours, I expect work to be insane.

Re: 1 - 10... where's 11? internetgoddess August 23 2007, 05:37:17 UTC

Some explanations, hell you probably need them to keep up.

Re: 1 - 10... where's 11? wired_goddess August 30 2007, 08:01:46 UTC

I can't start RPing again till Sunday night but do you mind if we continue Lain, W-Lain and Jamie's conversation?

Re: 1 - 10... where's 11? bantersucks August 30 2007, 09:51:41 UTC

Not at all. Sunday night will be weird as I still don't know what's going on, but I'd definitely love to continue it.
