Event update~
Hi guys, Sofo here with an update on the current plot shenanigans.
Remember how we set a tentative close date for the plot? Scratch that, we have even better ideas for plot wrap now! :D
* the dino plot will be wrapped whenever the dinos have all been rounded up or disposed of, shall we say, at which the hamsters will reward their darlingsubjects lab rats guests with...
Well, you'll find out soon enough.
* the body swappery, though... Characters may have wrongly assumed that the two events were linked, and that getting rid of the dinosaurs would bring an end to the swap as well. This couldn't be farther from the truth. So, you (they) may ask yourself (themselves): what then?
Not to reveal all, but you might want to consider the old native American proverb of walking in another's shoes for this or that many miles...
Stay cool, or warm, everyone! Have fun, and remember to tag your posts!
PS: If you have any questions or comments, please leave them here.
DS: Talk amongst yourselves, plot away. :3
Edit: As some of you have wondered what happens if/when a swappee dies, we've come up with an answer other than "...hmm, good question!".
So your character meets a messy end at the extremities of a dino. What then?
Call it a system error, a bug, or the hamsters poking fun at you - swapped characters are zapped right back near instantly after death. ICly speaking, it will feel like that disconcerting, falling sensation you get when you jerk yourself awake right as you're dozing off. And then?
Then they're back to the safest place they were right before things went downhill.
Example: Character A gets speared by a dino horn on its way from point a to point b. A gets an epic death, only to fade out and fade in safely on the sidewalk, just about to cross the street while the horn'ed dino keeps walking over there.
Did it really happen? Did s/he just imagine it? Was it a creepy case of déjà vu? Not if you ask bystander characters ;3
Q: What about the programmed possession penalty for in-game deaths?
A: That is still in play for this plot, so please keep that in mind.
And hey. The instant re-insertion into Taxon is a freebie enough, right?
... ... ...right? :3

I mean...let's figure out ho to get rid of them, yes? We've got enough superpowered/magical/scientist badasses to handle this, let's get some coordination on. I floated the idea of Glitch whipping up a
deathshrinkshrinky death ray but that's not totally plausible.Though I might do it anyway for lulz. MORE THOUGHTS?

Scott may be going out to fight them anyway. He has a sword and a temper, which is all he needs as far as he's concerned.
Plot ideas! :D
- Remus and/or Az tag-teaming to round up the dinos! Peacefully! With magic! :D
- Tony and Buffy cooperating to get the suit up in the air. Tony trying out the suit as Glitch to some effect, Buffy inna suit with Tony guiding her from the ground.
- Selina kicking ass and taking names and going adamantium-slashy for kicks and giggles. We gotta have us some t-rex t-bone steak before the event is over, right?
- Glitch reaping the benefits of having suddenly acquired Cain's nine lives.
- Jason using
abusingMaddy's powahz, levitating dinos into the zoo while whistling a merry tune, or something.- Logan back flipping and jumping off walls and having a blast acting decoy/live bait
- Sherlock and Glitch cooperating along the lines of IT'S A TRAP
- Oh, and are you kidding me Keri? We absolutely need a steampunky O.Z raygun that shrinks dinos
and people, but mostly dinosRe: Plot ideas! :D
Really Sof and I were just batting the above ideas around this morning in a fit of "WOULDN'T IT BE AWESOME IF--" so if you've been needing inspiration, there ya go, free to a good home. And if you'd like any of our guys to help out we're more than happy to fine tune stuff.
THING I WAS THINKING OF: NPC'ing some dinos for fun and profit, if anyone wants some more sentient nonsense in their lives?
Re: Plot ideas! :D
I've already been sneaking in some NPC dinoing, but I'd love to do some more. Maybe for a dino hunt!herding!log post this weekend? We can tag-team tag away, dino style!

night time or day
when glitch is getting dinowhomped

on purpose!Re: Plot ideas! :D
Oh oh oh, before I forget: the Ozian equivalent to Christmas/New Year's is approaching! Bagoas+Buffy shopping for pretties?
Because we both know that Morning After meme thing with the chick flick and henna-ing totally happened :D Y/N/cookies?
Re: Plot ideas! :D
And I'm imagining that it might resemble Tony in the first Iron Man movie, when he was trying out the suit :)
Re: Plot ideas! :D
Someone will be getting himself a dress for the party (because lol what are gender-typical modes of dress? silly nonsense, that's what!).
gotta compensate for the short hair in some way, but shhhOh, poor Buffy XD Poor Tony having to watch his suit get all accidentally bashed into walls/buildings/through canopies scattering flying dinos...
But it'll be fun for Buffy, though :D
Re: Plot ideas! :D
Re: Plot ideas! :D
I'm sorta handwaving the shrink ray (ETA: LIKE HENCE aw yiss) into existence (and lol sorry there is a little ~magic~ involved) but I suspect it will be fabulous. I'll do a post maaaybe Saturday?
