It's the last thing anyone will suspect!

I have a feeling I'll invent a jotunform trick eventually. Well, technically Jo could do it right now except it would take forever to switch on or off (days probably) and be terribly unsubtle as well as tiring to the point of being useless.

As long as she's in the area with her clones, that'll be fine, but if she's across the school campus from the clone, that'll be too long. I'd prefer to handle that on a scene-by-scene basis, since I'm not very good with exact measurements in games like this. It gets very complicated quite quickly.

I just stuck in the distance I did as a rough guess. That sort of general area rule will be a lot easier to keep track of.

I have a funny feeling being her roommate would suck. Either way, she should also get the standard immortal perks, but she might be a very bad swimmer - falling in water might kill her if she stays in too long, come to think of it.

Even magic snow is still snow.

Iceberg! Although I was thinking she might have to be careful about long swims. And heated pools would definitely be nasty.

I've had a few thoughts about how Jo'd tend to try to use her Winter's Touch to cool herself down if badly overheating. Everything from sucking on ice pellets (passing them off as hard sweets) to the critical danger Emergency Snowman Shell.

It's like the bizarro world version of sleeping in the comfy innards of a dead taun-taun to survive the deadly ice planet night!

Let us be roomies!

Hmm, I'm just not getting any thoughts for the relationship entries right now. Should definitely have something when I put up the fully fleshed out sheet up though.

Dracorion, Krogoth: Do EEEEEEEEET.

You're already a wizard and you know that. If you're going to make this argument you should really be making it over your own existence.

That said, Jack doesn't have to believe it's a dragon, although the dragon-like appearance, wings and scales and whatnot are a dead giveaway. You'd just have to come up with a better story than dinosaur or lizard-dog.

It's not a dragon. It's his latent magical abilities manifesting in a form that is comfortable to him, which just happens to be a dragon. Really, he's a wizard and doesn't know it.

There's your explanation.

[krogothwolf]

If anyone enters my room though, how am I going to explain the giant litter box I have!

I never really though the Dragon would be staying in the same room as I am, wouldn't the school have a place for these type of creatures? I mean, otherwise.....I'd hate to actually have to deal with a Dragon litter box.

[Dracorion]

Screw you, Jack isn't dealing with giant dragon shit.

[Astral Harmony]

But in Lunar, dragons shit diamonds, don't they? Besides, I imagine that a dragon's litter box would be a big honkin' pile of gold and other precious metals.

Self Insert is essentially a combat mode, right? Just allows Diana to keep up with the trained fighters in battle, despite not having a fighter’s background. I’d like to know where the boost is mainly focuses though; sounds like it's mainly a reflexes thing, with a little strength enhancement so she can hurt people with her punches. Correct?

As for energy drain, unless the battle’s going particularly long, it shouldn’t really hit her until the scene ends. But after it does, she’ll probably be too tired to use it for a while, kay? Oh, and if the camera is broken or runs out of film or something, she loses the boost and the fatigue hits her.

I assume her combat style would be learned from watching movies?

Yup, all sounds right and good. Check and double check!

[Dracorion]

Hey hey guys, GUYS.

So I've been PMing with Teal a lot and he's told me a bunch of stuff.

For starters, Professor Landry is an alien. FROM OUTER SPACE. In fact, she's more like a swirling vortex of entropy.

And and, the Man behind the Man behind the Man is a bird that's as cute as Hedwig! Who can bite your head clean off!

And the first boss is a demon or an angel!

[krogothwolf]

That's it, my dragon is going to torment Jack by appearing then disappearing. Jack's going to freak out thinking there's a dragon around but no one else will see it and everyone will just start calling you Crazy Jack.

He's also going to leave you presents on your bed!

[Dracorion]

Jack's just going to have to figure out how to dissect a dragon with a blade of goddamn air, then.

Oh and Teal, are Flash Step and Flash Move only single-person teleportation? That is, you can't grab hold of someone and side-along them?

[Teal Mage]

Flash Step, unless your character is ungodly strong (Would have to lift the passenger), is limited to single person. They're actually running that fast! You can take someone along if you're Flash Moving, but the drain would be impractically high. You're basically teleporting yourself twice.

Steel, Diana's approved. Just be careful with that combat mode, nothing too crazy. I don't think you'll abuse it, but if you do, my wrath shall be like that of god! Only much more subtle and always aimed at her camera.

I'm reasonably sure Arhra's character will be fine as well, relationships or no. So, I'll approve the character part of Johanna's sheet - tell me if there's any more changes.

So, Krogothwolf, Dracorion, are you alright rooming?

Your beloved teacher Professor Landry would be hurt, no, crushed! To hear such hurtful rumors. Oh, the things she'd feel!

She takes great pride in her humanity, you see.

All other things are as likely to be true as they are false. I may change my mind!

Yes, as speculations from players are starting, I'm going to begin work on the game thread itself. There's still two player profiles that need to be cleared up, so the game won't start for another few days. I'll inform the lot of you when things formally begin, of course. To Wizardcat and Julford, I'll wait a few days, but if I don't hear anything new from you, you'll have to assume you've lost interest. Can still register after the game begins, so if that's not the case, there's still ways to join.

Anyway, not starting just yet. But it'll be soon. Since there's still Sign-Ups that aren't quite done though, I'll wait to put up a new discussion thread until the game itself begins. Seems a reasonable thing to do unless this one really fills up in the next few days anyway.
