Steph talks too much. freaks_myword January 5 2012, 01:25:56 UTC

Previously: Let's see. She's been sneaking around, sniffing for any kind of whiff of something that could render her powers neutral, like the military device she used back home. Consequently, she's been eying a couple people, either with magical abilities (hi DG, Willow) or inventor/technologically-savvy people (Glitch, Kobra), generally using flattery and whatnot to see what kind of chops they have. She hasn't been seeing THAT many ghosts yet.

Glitch Plans: More ghosts, creepiness, black ice, etc, as far as that goes.

Other Plans: I'm going to glitch Gwen into being powerless and touchable! Yay! So she'll quickly ABANDON all her attempts to find someone to invent something, because HELLO SHE CAN TOUCH NOW THIS IS GREEAAATT and stupidly see it as a reward, something she's deserved, and thus does not expect it to be taken away, despite what people may warn. I'm game for annything during this period. Hand holding, a kiss or two? This stuff is a must, and I can't do it alone. She'll DEFINITELY wanna take advantage of this period. And ( ... )

Sooo many fun things! :P

Sorry first off for totally failing at tagging the dragon-Illyria fight, cuz damn, fail much Dien? But I'm back on the wagon hopefully. And either way we have an idea of how the thread goes so we can make it work baby!

With that initial schoolyard bullies respect-kinda fight out of the way, Long may be able to provide some of the patient explaining? I'm up for attempting to thread it if you are and seeing what happens.

Alternately, or even both, I'd be willing to let Long get zapped because I'm TERRIBLY MEAN. Not trying to hog all your CR, lol, so if anyone else volunteers for that plot and it works better with Gwen's character, that's cool! Just putting it out there.

I'd say we need more of Paul and your pups but, ALL THE LOLZ cuz he'd so wind up getting himself killed with Illyria. Him and Gwen bickering is lots of fun though.

I fail just as much re: dragon fight but Slowtimes R Us. And if we come to a standstill there's always the effective but less fun fade-to-black hand-waving thing (And then they were both VERY SORE the next morning The End)

And patient explaining is definitely a go. And Long still being annoyed and bothered about her running around in Fred's body definitely adds a bit of layer to it that I like. But considering Illyria followed around a guy who was in LOVE with Fred, I'm thinkin' that's not gonna stop our blue meaning from darkening Long's footsteps.

As for zapping, there's noo such thing as too much CR, amirite? I'm leaning towards a killing-level of electrocution, only because I really want her to feel like This Always Happens and that she doesn't deserve to be 'normal', but I can probably do both--a non-killing of Long or whoever following a killing of an extra IDK whatever ends up being most realistic.

oh my god look at me stopppp rambling on and on.

Oh and as if we needed a reason for Paul to snark at my characters any more.

*high-fives forevs*

Haha yes. The thing with Long is that his default is incredibly patient and helplessly polite, so he'd probably tolerate Illyria despite his BEST INTENTIONS otherwise.

No such thing! I'd be willing to let Long get killed, is what I failed to say in my first tag. Again, if you have another character volunteering for it that you like better, that's fine, no pressure.

babe I love your rambles

(Mayland is looking at me with offended horror right now)

Previously: Three out of three Ozians have now died and returned to life. Glitch is...actually handling it well for the moment. He's actually coping less well with the stuff he did during the whole fairy tale AU because DNW being wicked and liking it :(

Also he accidentally on purpose made a gay bar threw a fabulous Annual's End party with his bff, and also generally buddied around with said bff and CAIN STOP HOGGING HIS ATTENTION people will talk :(

Glitch Plans: He needs to talk to people he doesn't remember and get generally freaked out and annoyed. I'm thinking either his (headcanon!)dead boyfriend or his (headcanon!)mom.

Other Plans: The usual chaos, I am not bothering to plan thigns anymore~

rereremembered

Previously: Got over my fail his flu and was tagged into a few things! And I need to follow up with that more because yeah. Also he wore a purple crushed velvet suit. ALSO he got freaked the hell out by the gruesome ghost of one of his more tragic Girl Of The Weeks Books SORRY EMMA THAT TAG WAS D:

Glitch Plans: Horrors. Maybe just ( ... )

Previously: Well, he got dragoned for the fairy-tale glitch, and got into a big bad tear'em-up fight with Illyria. He was sore for several days after that, yeow! and spent a week or so feeling tired and out of sorts. And then one of his personal ghosts showed up, so he is having about as stellar a winter as most of Taxon, which is to say, not.

Glitch Plans: I may toss in one of Long's ghosts who was a comic relief character in the book and will therefore be comic relief now, but we will see.

Other Plans: Anyone wanting to ask questions about the dragon thing is cool with me. Other than that, he's going to try and corral Glitch for A Talk, with capital letters, and is otherwise going to retreat to the library to generally sulk and sip tea, so he'll be around for any book-acquiring needs or information needs that pop up.

They should totally spend most of their conversations in everything but English.

Previously: Dien has been kind of faily on keeping Paul involved with Things, but in short he was freaked out by one of his past ghosts, freaked out by Cherri Cola, and maybe freaked out by Wyatt. :P

Glitch Plans: More ghostly horraz. Paul being increasingly edgy about the many dead people who will probably show up to plague him. Hi, Mom!

Other Plans: HEY KAT WHATCHA WANNA DO WITH PAUL AND PARTY AND THAT IPOD? ^___^ am not rushing, there is no reason for rushing, just something we can yammer about.

Previously: December was not a good month for Helen. She started off by seeing Ashley's ghost (which will continue) and accidentally shot Dwight - thankfully the man wears a bullet proof vest. The end of the month quietened for her (with the exception of more ghosties) and then she went to the party and actually enjoyed herself. And then she got canon bumped, sporting some lovely broken ribs and a lot of bruising.

Glitch Plans: NOTHING. She'll keep seeing the ghost (but less so than before) until that ends and other than that she's sitting safe, and healing.

Other Plans: This month is 'Helen goes exploring' month, finally getting her butt to the library and making her friendships better. Expect lots of stuff. Or a post or two. :3

At some point in time Helen needs to come to Westchester Mansion, and Charles needs to visit the sanctuary. Abnormal/mutant discussions get.
