SoTP (November 2011)
Should be tagging, instead, live from New York, it's State of the Pups!
(Except for the New York part. And the live part.)
(Also I gave up on gifs this time.)
Tony:
who would have imagined that an existance of near constant flippant douchebaggery could have consequences
So he's not getting elected, which is a bit disappointing, and a helpful reminder that not everyone loves him as I do, especially not the characters themselves. I had some ideas for stuff he'd do. There's still stuff he'll do anyway, he's not lying about that. Next election he might try to convince Pepper to run, he wants someone in that room. Or try to get Peter back on the horse, since he lives in a world where Spider-Man is more popular than Iron Man. (i.e., something closer to a world filled with normal people not swayed by cult of celebrity)
Need to talk to Kat about some of the stuff Rory mentioned in the speech, since it's stuff I/Tony have been thinking about, synchronicity and such, so no matter how the elections go he'll probably approach him about getting that stuff happening. And then there's a bunch of stuff to go to the mods with.
From his perspective (but not really, island-whyland magic-wagic) he got a portal open to another dimension, it was neat, he's not trying it again because it didn't go anywhere useful, also he blew it up. Plotwise it's quiet til January, where everything goes Very Custard. Then probably a break of months or more until I try anything ambitious again, I have one that I pushed back for new Terrible January plot, but I'm kind of a bit blerg on that kind of thing at the moment.
Jessica:
Getting ammonia-d! It is delightful. Come Victorian plot, there will be some dilemmas by way of costuming; she could just wear shirts and pants like some folks are doing, but the thing is in the environment it feels a bit more specifically like wearing men's clothing which she doesn't exactly do, as a semi-conscious way of separating herself from Peter. In an atmosphere where she can bare a midriff or wear capris or whatever, that's fine, in Ye Olde Times it's tricksome. She may try riding dresses and such.
Except when she's dressing as Steampunk Spider-Woman (there will be goggles) and swinging about the city, because, there is a city to swing about in. Will see if Peter is getting a post doing this for timing/whether I just put it in her journal, since Nix mentioned it first. The fact she would often do very similar things to Peter is something of an occupational hazard of playing her.
Then in January, Angel has a plot for Hank she is onboard for, I am Very Excited.
Also there is weirdness with Chase to deal with. And I want someone (other than Bucky) to find out she's Spider-Woman, the clone thing to come out... down the line, no idea when. And of course the discovery of what happened to Ultimate Peter Parker.
Arya:
Nearly cold murdered a dude. It is a great month! Except from her perspective, because Nymeria stopped her, so now she feels like the Many-Faced God is telling her one thing and the old gods of the North another and she doesn't know what the fuck, or if she's reading anything right or not, and has no idea what she's meant to do.
Need to... well, find her something to do. Some job or something that makes sense. Hard to come up with stuff; she wouldn't train people, necessarily, because now she's taking Women's Self-Defence she'd just send anyone to Natalia who is probably actually basically her hero now? (And everyone's, let us face it.) Plenty of stables and horse-caring people, so I don't know that that works.
Victorian plot: Will be dressed like a grubby stableboy. Hot. (Which, maybe she needs a Yuffie-style Operation V-card, I feel like she'd have done it just to know what it's like by now, because it's the kind of way she'd think about it.)
William:
Clark and Lois at the speeches basically delighted me, it's so fun to watch other people do it! I mean, maybe next time I'll see about dividing them up? Or just have him tackle anyone that I feel has a particular thing he'd go for. Balance between driving myself mad doing it every time for everyone and not doing it at all. More kid stuff, more Mal stuff. Could do with some friends and such.
Victorian plot: Will make him miss home. Anyone that complains about the smell will be informed that Ankh-Morpork is way worse. Somehow, this will be said with a weird affection. Will basically be dressed in warmer versions of what he wears anyway.
Spike:
Some neat stuff with amusement park plot that I was slow with! It was nice to freak him out some. Still needs more to do, still ruminating on a timeloop, maybe some kind of action-y plot thing to boot, but I have no idea what it'd be. Will enjoy being somewhere new come December, but only until it turns out to still have no out.
Wolverine:
FOUGHT BATMAN.
THREAD OF HIS LIFE.
Probably the most I've enjoyed writing Wolverine ever, so... dude needs to throw down more, there need to be more opportunities for that. But part of it was that it wasn't an empty fight, like it wasn't just a random throwdown, there were actual goals and he was a part of something. And part of him sympathized with the guy he was fighting, but he did it anyway because he thinks Bucky had the right of it in keeping him away, and it made him think about Daken and all his screw-ups, and generally was wonderful.
REMATCH.
Or, I don't know. Might still start a bar brawl.
Victorian plot: Told you mutton chops were in fashion!!
