OOC: Planning Post

UP NEXT WEEK: HORROR MOVIE WEEK!

Who's going? What're they doing? Who're they meeting and why are they there? Meet up and plot things out here!

***

Details from your host, ondragonflywing:

It's horror movie week! There are lots of creepy things coming at you. Your characters will wake up in a random, as of yet undisclosed location. (It'll be sent to you in PM, as well as one random object your character will have on them, in addition to what they might usually carry.)

This means I need to know who you want to bring, so I can randomize your location. I hope we all get to have our characters make new friend....or enemies.

There are no other rules or planning other than where you wake up, so play it all however you want. However bored host is bored and on spring break....and bored lol, so I may throw random evil things at you for you to defeat.

I wish you the best of luck in surviving the week. ;)

For me, the characters that I did put through it have been affected by it. But as for some of my characters, like Ian that I just picked up, I'm playing him as no knowledge of the alien invasion. I have no idea how he would have reacted in that situation and I didn't follow Mollie's plot, so I don't know how it affected his family either.

I think it only makes a difference on how much it affected people and how they want it to affect their storyline? Some of my characters, it changed their lives. Others are just gonna be meh about it and not really talk about it anymore.

If that helps at all?

I dunno. When I saw it, I thought it was going to be an AU, as it encompassed the whole world. And then the post last week referenced it. I thought maybe they could be in the same AU, as superpowers would also be a big deal. But then it's still being referenced. I think it's fine for a new character, as the new character could be from a different universe, but it feels kinda weird to me to play a character that has met some of these people before, and thus is part of the same universe but who has no knowledge of a supposed world-wide event.

I'm aware I could play in a "free" post, but I don't want to. If I wanted to play non-CFB storylines, i'd play in past threads and/or personal journals. I dunno.

I think it depends on the player and how their characters react to it. By now, all my characters have moved past it pretty much and they won't reference it. I think the only reason it's being talked about this week is because we've had three traumatic experiences in a row, including horror movies. Like, after a while, I just get tired of having to RP out angst. Give everyone fluffy bunnies :P

And technically, my new character has met some of these characters since some of his family are played by Mollie. I haven't figured out how that's going to go because I haven't had a chance to Mollie yet.

Just say Bela was in Antarctica and it was too cold for aliens there? :P

I'm going AU with Seb on his Ian storyline. Unless you want to keep them having sex on the back of Seb's car on Valentine day? =P

LOL yeah, my plan was to play it as Ian has never met Seb before. But he's kinda required to know his family. :P

As far as I know about the family: Fiona and Elijah were getting serious. And Lip was getting to know Phoebe. But most I followed was from alien week and I'm not updated.

Debbie is still just Debbie and nothing happened with her yet.
