Discuss Shinigami Dance: Playground of Deities

[Rachmaninoff]

[quote name='Allamorph'][FONT=Arial]All right, I need to ask you all a favor. [I]Please, please do not find a way out just yet.[/I] I got a really amazing idea during class today, and I think you all will love it—[COLOR="DarkRed"]Rachmaninoff[/COLOR] especially. In fact, I'd like to talk with you about it, since I think you could really add to it once I fire it.

In the meantime, panic, confusion, or whatever is all good. My next post will need that kind of a set-up, so I'll post again when the timing's right. Until then, Nathan is off-camera.

Seriously, [COLOR="DarkRed"]Rach[/COLOR], you should get a major kick out of this. (Ooohh, I feel like Victor. :D) [/FONT][/QUOTE]Well it would ruin the fun if we escaped to easily. I get the feeling that it would be jarring to the story since someone like the Count wouldn't bother with such an obvious confrontation if he thought it wouldn't trap the Shinigami forever. Heh. So no danger of me finding the way out, at least not yet. Alex is too startled at the moment for that.

As for adding on to what you had in mind, I sent you a response with what I thought would take it even further. XP I've already got ideas on just how to write up what I suggested to you in a post so I hope you like it.

[B]EDIT:[/B] *pokes Allamorph for being such a literal dork* :p

[COLOR="DarkRed"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"]*looks at the title indifference used*

Whee! Depeche Mode! We finally have a song title that I actually recognize! ^_^ And considering the nature of this chapter... You and DB will never convince me that the two of you didn't plan that. Pfft! Title and all.

Anyway, no worries Allamorph, I agree, escaping quickly wouldn't be any fun. I'm going to take the confusion angle with Lucia since she rarely, if ever, panics. And since Alex thought the others vanished, or rather seemed to think that beyond the visual... I'm going to assume that for the moment, they can no longer sense each other's auras. That will make the panic/confusion bit easier, at least for me anyway. lol

Also... unrelated to Shinigami Dance note here... *steals indifference's new banner/avatar set* ^_^ That new one you've made looks fantastic![/FONT][/COLOR]

[Allamorph]

[FONT=Arial]Okay. So, after [I]thoroughly[/I] discussing the various ideas had between us, [COLOR="DarkRed"]Rach[/COLOR] and I have hashed out exactly what we're going to do. First order of business: government-sanctioned random crap from everybody! Hooray! :animesmil

Seriously. The four of you should feel free to go absolutely bonkers. Make me laugh. Make me go [B]O_O[/B].

I don't know what Aeru's going to do. Ummm....think of something, [COLOR="DarkRed"]DB[/COLOR]. Just, no sex, please. 'Aight?[/FONT]

[2010DigitalBoy]

[COLOR="DarkSlateGray"][B]SunfallE[/B]: Even though Depeche Mode is one of about 5 80s bands I actually like any particular song by, I couldn't tell you a single song name besides 'Personal Jesus'. I had no idea whatsoever that it was a song title, not to mention didn't even talk to indifference ^^;; I was kind f wondering what she meant telling me to enjoy the title...

[B]Allamorph[/B]: As long as your plan DOES NOT involve killing the Count, I'm interested in what will happen. In any event, the big man cannot die yet.

On that note, I'd like to stress that the less of the Count's minions ya'll kill this chapter, the more fun the next one's gunna be ^_~

So, today, I plotted out the direction of the rp all the way to the end ^_^ It's all planned for once! Anywho, a few hints that may be important - the first (and shortest) 'Part' will consist of 4 'chapters' (you're on the third) and there are 3 total parts. [/COLOR]

[FONT=Arial]It's okay: your undead pedophile doesn't factor into the current scenario, aside from the fact that he is the captor of the shinigami.

I will say, though, that if he survives Part One then I will be quite displeased. I've been getting the impression that he's basically a beginner-stage opponent; the Seras Valkyrie has a more troublesome potential, I feel, than does Monsieur le Comnt. Additionally, the fact that he has the most followers, [I]numbering around forty[/I], seems a bit off to me. If forty is all we have to worry about, then we might get the only decent action in the whole RP sometime in the next two weeks...and considering what indifference has tipped about Adrian, along with what's been emerging (for me) about Nathan's background, and counting the two dragons, that's not going to last very long. Maybe three posts, taking perspectives into account.

But that's just me.

I wasn't expecting you to actually recognize it. It was more of a way to use something a bit older and yet a play on the words of silence. A foreshadowing of the vampires eventually being put to rest. Though seeing how you seperated everyone, it turned out to be the Shinigami who were, for the moment, put into silence. It's supremely ironic how well that fit into what you had in mind DB. As well as creepy at how well I unintentionally set that up. lol

As for killing the minions, I wasn't planning on nailing to many at least not at first since I was planning on waiting to see how things played out first instead of going on an indiscriminate killing spree. As much as Adrian would enjoy that. Now as for Adrian's reaction to what just happened, it's going to be interesting, just wait and see. I'll probably have that up either later tonight or tomorrow.

[COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]does 'your post had me laughing my ass off' answer some of your questions? Honestly, could you possibly have not trusted ME to throw in an extreme plot twist of epic proportions that spins your head in circles within the first 4 chapters? Honestly, you didn't think too hard just now, lol.

Also, I have no idea what 'that'll be adequately taken care of' means, but I mean to say that you may seriously regret killing more than a couple little vampires. As for when the Count goes down - you'll just have to savor the moment when it comes :p[/COLOR]

[FONT=Arial]Umm: no, and I don't think you want me to answer that last one there. And you're right; compared to last night, I wasn't thinking too hard. :animesmil That logic finished in about 0.048 seconds?it's the writing/speaking part that takes time.

So spin my head in a circle already. :p

Exactly. If I'd told you, then you'd know. But, I haven't told you....yet. :D[/FONT]

[COLOR="RoyalBlue"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"][quote name='Allamorph'][FONT=Arial]Seriously. The four of you should feel free to go absolutely bonkers. Make me laugh. Make me go [B]O_O[/B].[/FONT][/QUOTE]I think you're more likely to get the bonkers response from the others. lol However, even though Lucia seems calm, she is, in fact, not. She's highly confused by what just happened. Confused enough that on some level she's more concerned with figuring out what just occurred instead of wondering about the others. lol

Besides I think Adrian's approach of attempting to strike the Count down and simply smashing through the doors was interesting. Sounds like someone is beyond annoyed. Heh. Anyway, now I'm curious to see what Shalua's response will be. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Arial]No, you did in fact go bonkers a little bit. I wasn't just talking about the reactions. I was talking about the environment as well. You seem to be doing that anyway, though, so you're on the right track.[/FONT]

[Rachmaninoff]

[quote name='indifference'][COLOR="Indigo"][SIZE="1"] Aeru... though that too presented yet another problem. [/SIZE][/COLOR][/QUOTE]Well, after DB's post it's clear what Adrian was referring to. Looks like Aeru is crushing on him no less. I almost feel sorry for the guy. lol

Anyway, the point of this post? Just a note that later today after I've gotten some sleep I'm going to continue with the panic/chaos/confusion deal and so forth. I've sort of got an idea on something for Alex to run into and if I wasn't so tired I'd try it now, but I am tired so it will have to wait.

[B]EDIT:[/B] And posted. Though the implication that the Count is responsible for those in the dungeon who are dead, is just that, an implication. Alex and Nall don't really know for sure. XP

[Aberinkula]

[COLOR="Olive"]Well guys, I won't be on for a while. My mom downloaded something that screwed up the comp. We fixed that, but the internet is running slow. And I mean SLOW! So use Shalua as an NPC for now. When I have faster internet access, I will return. But don't count me out.

Get it COUNT!

I miss you guys! :([/COLOR]

[Horendithas]

[COLOR="Indigo"]Just to let you know Rach and Allamorph, I intend to get in one more post to go a bit in depth on Adrian's reaction to Aeru. It might affect what the two of you have in mind so you might want to wait on it. I'll have that up later today or tomorrow by the latest, if that works for both of you.

It's too bad that Revolver is not able to really get on. I haven't got any ideas on how to include Shalua so perhaps the two of you could do that when you set off whatever it is that you've got planned.

[B]EDIT:[/B] And it's posted. If it's not totally obvious. Adrian is far angrier and upset than he normally would be. [/COLOR]

[Allamorph]

[FONT=Arial]I've started working on our way out. It is not terribly contingent on the specifics of people's posts, though?by which I mean my content is malleable?so if anyone wants to slip something in real quick to just add to any ideas or randomness to the situation, let me know before midnight and I'll hold off on posting until you work yours up.

As for your characters, they are still searching for a way out....of the Twilight Zone.

([COLOR="DarkRed"]Rach[/COLOR], expect a brief missive after I post.)[/FONT]

[Aberinkula]

[COLOR="Olive"]Viva la return! I'm back in my shiny-gun glory. [spoiler]Bad Revolver joke! :animesweat[/spoiler]

Anyways, I'll be reading the posts. I have a new ISP, so I'll be on again. Still not that much because of school.

If we were able to kill the Count, Shalua would go all-out murderous on him. Honestly, I'm confuzzled on Shalua's next move, however. Therefore, I really need to suck it up and read. I hate reading, unless it's for school.

And Indiff, as long as you don't go overboard, you can do as you please with Shalua, even though I'm back. But this new ISP is sort of slow now so it might take a while to get the threads up.

EDIT: Does Adrian have a problem with Shalua? She isn't mean once you get to know her.[/COLOR]

[Horendithas]

[COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='Revolver'][COLOR="Olive"]EDIT: Does Adrian have a problem with Shalua? She isn't mean once you get to know her.[/COLOR][/QUOTE]It's not so much Shalua as it is his personality. There are very few that Adrian cares to be around.
[INDENT][B]Personality:[/B] Cold and indifferent. He seems friendly enough, but underneath the superficial appearance he doesn?t give a damn about anyone.[/INDENT]
It's just the way he is.[/COLOR]

[Allamorph]

[FONT=Arial]I have decided not to post until Thursday, due to a combination of schoolwork, life obligations, crappy internet between 9:00 and 12:30, and the fact that I'm not sure if .... umm .... [COLOR="DarkRed"]Premonition[/COLOR] is going to want to be posting before we start the modulation to our next key. [spoiler]Sorry, buddy. You make it so easy to pick on you. (^_^)[/spoiler]

Yeah, the server around here (TTU) is absolute crap. [I]I[/I] don't think the cache is big enough, but what do I know? I think I'll complain to ResLife.

(I hate this university's admin.)[/FONT]

[Aberinkula]

[COLOR="Olive"]Allamorph my friend, you may pick on me. But don't go overboard, if you did I would put my hand through this screen and... ahem. Sorry.

I'm still confused on what to do, I need more formulation![/COLOR]

[Horendithas]

[COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='Revolver'][COLOR="Olive"]I'm still confused on what to do, I need more formulation![/COLOR][/QUOTE]You're already been told what to do really. All of the Shinigami are in the mansion and other than Aeru and Adrian, all of them are in different parallel universes. So Shalua is on her own and like the rest of us attempting to find a way out.

Other than to not kill the Count you can do pretty much anything you want. From Shaula simply exploring or perhaps running into other creatures like Adrian, Lucia and Alex have. In other words, be creative! You could even simply have her wandering around madder than hell and smashing everything in sight while arguing with her familiar. ;)

Also, if you hate reading... Then why are you in an rpg? Not to be too obvious, but if you haven't been reading the posts in the main thread... Then it's no wonder you're lost as to what to do next. [/COLOR]

[Aberinkula]

[COLOR="DarkOliveGreen"]Over the past 5 minutes, I've got a plan. Too bad I don't have time to make a post. (Kill me later) I have school tommorow, so my comp time is limited. But expect a menstrual preformance from Shalua and her quirky familiar. I've been oddly temtpted to 'kill' off Tuko, when I say 'kill', I mean make everyone think she's dead.[/COLOR]

[Allamorph]

[quote name='Revolver][COLOR="DarkOliveGreen"']But expect a menstrual preformance from Shalua and her quirky familiar.[/COLOR][/quote]
[FONT=Arial]I expect both of our female comrades to critique him on his menstrual efforts. As a construct that doesn't have to deal with that kind of thing, I can't say anything, but I'm certain you two can. :p

I just want to make it through tomorrow morning intact. Then maybe I'll be alive to write.

And since I'm getting too far off topic I'll leave it at that.

Anyway, as much fun as I could have doing another post, I'm thinking it's best to wait on what Allamorph and Rach have planned. I've already established that Lucia is off on different tangents as to what's going on. And other than to worry about damaging the reality that the others are stuck in, she's giving them little to no thought at all. [/FONT][/COLOR]

I knew when I sent her the pm with the poem asking her to be my online wife. ;) Though you wouldn't know it when you meet her. She doesn't look like she's 36. XP She looks like she's not even thirty. Besides, it's right in her profile if you look, her age that is. Anyway...

I won't be posting again until Allamorph does. I feel that I've established what's going on well enough. So it needs to be moved to the next phase in my opinion.
