Alright, so the rl issues are salvageable. I will have limited access for a week-ish, probably, though. SO SEMI-HIATUS FOR...probably about a week. Give or take.
SO HERE'S WHAT I'M HERE FOR. Mayaplot plannings. Now, I'm still not entirely sure who is signed up and who isn't. If you want to be part of the plot, please say below with what character(s) and which part. Remember, if you want to be part of Part 1, I'm going to need a script. Nothing long or anything, and you can feel free to use somebody else to help you write the other part, but.
Here's a short and random example of a possible script, using, let's say 'Bill' and 'Maria'.
[BILL and MAYA enter the
Channeling Chamber. MAYA channels MARIA.]
MARIA: Bill, open your eyes.
BILL: Maria, is that really you?
MARIA: Of course it is! And...I think I know why you called me here.
BILL: ...you and Fred...I have to know. The truth-
MARIA: Bill...Nothing happened. I promise. We were just friends, right 'til the end.
BILL: I...thank you. Wait, then, that means-!
MARIA: Yes, the treasure is still under the old oak tree. I never told him the secret.
BILL: I'm sorry I ever doubted you, Maria.
MARIA: Don't apologize. And...Bill?
BILL: Yes?
MARIA: I love you.
[Channeling ends]
Now it can be as long or as short, as crack or as srs bizness, as happy or as sad as you want/need it to be. Maya can channel anybody who's dead, and will take on their physical appearance to some extent.
EXAMPLE.
This is Maya.
You all know Maya.
This is Mia.
Mia is Maya's sister. She's dead.
This is Maya channeling Mia.
As you can see, Mia isn't exactly the same, but her face and her...body...are easily recognisable. This is the sort of similarity your character can expect to see. And yes, Maya can channel men. It's...best not to ask.
If you're signing up for the second part, I won't need a script, but I will need:
~Who is going to be ghosted?
~A weakness of your character they can play on
~Anything else you think I'll need to know.
~Anything specific you want them to say
To use the example above, say 'Bill' was then going to be a part of Part 2. The information would read as follows.
~Fred Plot-D'vice
~They were rivals back in university. Bill thinks Fred slept with his late wife, Maria Examplar, because they were a couple before Bill showed up.
~Fred was a well-known TV presenter and a famous womanizer.
~Mention that Maria lied in her channeling and she was just stringing him along, plz?
I don't need as much, because these aren't actually supposed to be the characters. Remember, I can be reached at jamymck@hotmail.com, or HyperSugarMiri is my AIM. If I'm online, 80% of the time I'll be on AIM. Feel free to contact me!
Mayaplot will start Monday 28th, with a post to the main comm. RLs will continue over the week, until Friday 1st, when Part 2 will happen. RLs (and comments to the post) can be backdated or futuredated to your convenience, because DDD has no timeline. ♥ Please have your RL scripts to me by the time the RL starts, or else I can't do anything. XD;
REMEMBER: THE CHARACTERS BEING CHANNELED DO NOT HAVE TO EXIST IN CANON. If you want your character's mother-who-was-never-shown/ex-partner-who-died-before-the-show-started/etc, this is your chance. :3
EDIT: Right, I knew there was something I forgot. Channeling Demyx. Tanz has said that if the mods say it's alright, she'll do a channel'd!thread. And since Maya would be channeling someone who's soul is only just on the bounds of channeling ability, that'd be what would send her over the edge. So that'd be the last RL, and wouldn't require a script.
Also, I forgot to mention - channeled characters can move and everything, although if violence breaks out then Maya will dismiss the spirit. They might get a punch or two in, but nothing serious should happen. ♥
