OOC: Planning Post

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

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. ;)

WHO ARE YOU BRINGING?

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Comment here to let ondragonflywing know who you are bringing to this week's RP, so that she has everyone's comments all in one place!

Re: WHO ARE YOU BRINGING?

Just bringing Erica.

How evil are we talking? I know at least Eponine and Peeta are still a little...sensitive from being kidnapped by the aliens. And being kidnapped and chased after may be a little much for them again...

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

yeah taht's why I'm only sending Erica. Because she's all WHATEVER, I'LL EAT THE BAD GUYS.

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

LOL yeah, I'm thinking my characters might still be a bit traumatized from the aliens.

[haruechan.livejournal.com]

Was question that too. Not going to send an 11 year old girl out there on her own. And Link and Seb are pretty much weired after being abducted by aliens. only sending any of them if their family is involved somehow on that mess... =P

Re: MOD QUESTIONS

[haruechan.livejournal.com]

Will there be a free rp post too?

Re: WHO ARE YOU BRINGING?

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Going to try out Ian Gallagher. He's ROTC, he can kick ass :P

Re: MOD QUESTIONS

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

We don't know yet. Going to keep an eye on how many characters sign up for this.

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

Yes, this.

I definitely have characters with enough other stuff going on right now that being kidnapped might break them.

Re: WHO ARE YOU BRINGING?

[haruechan.livejournal.com]

Rethinking this through. I'm bringing Seb.

And now Debbie, because Shania. =P

[http://users.livejournal.com/_eyesofpride_/]

Sugar would prolly come do something. She has been pretty quiet this past week!

[haruechan.livejournal.com]

I want Link to meet Sugar! Not sure if we can actually plan it this week, with the randomized location, but just so you know! ;)

Also, pixie convinced me to send Seb out there anyway.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_eyesofpride_/]

They would just be a bucket full of energy, wouldn't they? :D But we can later if it doesn't work out this week!

Re: WHO ARE YOU BRINGING?

[faeriesfolly.livejournal.com]

I don't know that I can bring anyone. >.<

Ruby has Jude and (pretty sure Mollie knows that it couldn't be something random with all of Dean's protections on the house. lol), Sam is taking Diana to look at colleges, Charlie is definitely still in need of a break after everything...

I would say Ridley, but I feel like magic is a cop out in these weeks...

lol. Freeplay post for all the people we aren't bringing? *puppy eyes at Mollie*

Maybe I'll think of someone new to add in, but idek.

ETA: I really wish this was after cait was back--it's kind of like "just another day" for the Winchester/Lucas clan. lol. I'm gonna figure something out for someone to bring though.

[meredith44]

A question that doesn't just pertain to this week but to all weeks... how widespread are the effects from these weeks? Because before the weeks were isolated. So maybe your characters went to Venice, or crack mansion, or were plane crashed on an island, bhut that was an individual thing. Now it .seems like a more global thing. I didn't want my characters to do the alien invasion week, but then last week's post seemed to imply that the invasion thing was a world event and everyone should have heard and have been impacted by it even if they weren't there. And again this week people are taking about it. My character(s) would have no knowledge of the alien invasion. It didn't happen th her/them. And I can't help but feel like they wouldn't fit in for this or future weeks because of it. Am I reading to much into it? Or should I just give up on following this comm entirely?

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

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?

[haruechan.livejournal.com]

I think it always been a personal choice if your character take that week as your rp canon or not. I don't think there's anything wrong in having characters not even aware of what went down any week before.

Not a mod, just a opinion of someone who's missing lots of weeks all the time anyway.

[hanorganaas.livejournal.com]

So the last three days on the week I was supposed to host I was sick.....Im still there pretty much.....so I am gonna see if I can finish out those threads before jumping in....Ill see where I am by Tuesday.

Re: WHO ARE YOU BRINGING?

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I'm going to bring anyone to this. I only have one new character and she's a kid. I didn't go very far with my Superhero threads last week and would like to finish them up, so that's what my old characters will be doing. Also, I'm one of those people who can't watch most horror movies.

Edit: Okay... I'm bringing a new character. Jonesy from Carnivale. I need icons.

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Not sure where else to post this question, but a question to the host. I'm not very big on horror and gore and stuff. So like, how much of a horror movie are we talking? Like, things going bump in the night or chainsaws going through people? :P

[faeriesfolly.livejournal.com]

It's been that way for most of mine for weeks.

[meredith44]

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.

[meredith44]

I'm aware of that, but before it was always personal weeks that wouldn't affect others if the person chose to keep the week part of their RP canon. Like it wouldn't affect my characters if someone had or had not visited Boston, San fransisco, the ski lodge, etc. In this case, though, it was a supposed world wide event. And it seems like my characters either have to start over, so they are not part of the world where such an event happened, or I can't play. (I had thought the alien thing would be treated like an AU thing, but it doesn't seem like it is.)

I'm just trying to figure out my options.
