[Nexus] OoC 1: The Shape of Things to Come

[McBish]

Pianos are really difficult to destroy.

Me, my sister and my dad just spent the morning trying futilely to break one. They glued everything to everything else, then added screws and nails for good measure. Ugh.

Um, that sounds like so much fun. Es specially if all you care about is breaking it.

[FireFox]

{{I am going to say, right now, that Daisuke has several methods of detection that would make trying to fool him into thinking the clone's the real Abigail, quite basically, impossible.

Namely, his soul detection. Of course, they can still try.}}

That's really all I want to say about this matter, that HG declared this power well in advance, since I'm tired, have to go to bed soon, and am just days away from sending all my characters into deadtime for a week...

[Murkus]

((*points at Town-Erin...although that was when she was over on Enup*. And Quinn died once, too...))
It's just that since it was flatly said that Daisuke could detect souls, and Abigail's soul especially. And you didn't say that there was no soul to detect until it was too late to change things, that's godmodding, 'passive godmodding' but godmodding nontheless. And one of the two hard-and-fast, ironclad rules of FFRP is 'no godmodding'.
You're a great RPer, Murkus. I haven't seen such great villianious dialogue in a long, long time. It's just that you shouldn't make an assumption on how another character will react, and leave out informationt that could change that, accordingly.))

Yes. You're right, in the end. I only made my little comment in the GLoG thread because I was annoyed. I apoligize.

I should've mentioned something OOC ahead of time. I just got kinda mad because my intended actions got retconned out of existence. By another player. I'll just chill out now.

[happyturtle]

It was a great scene. I loved the back and forth between Jack and Tobias and hope they remain antagonists a long time. I posted Darcy's belated response before I realized there was any controversy at all, but Jack saying he teleported Darcy and Abigail led me to believe it was the real Abigail being handed over.

I'm back in the UK now. Hurray! Yay!

[Murkus]

Yay! But I have the attention span of a mongoose. Where is it you were when you were not in the UK? If I may be so bold as to ask?

As for the roleplay, I must also thank FireFox for participating. I find his character's conflicting sides wonderful to read about.

Of course, it's a pity the end had to be marred by my little mistake. And AMEN's plans ruined swiftly and easily. And my character now looks like a moron for trusting Tobias so easily, when that's not how he really would have acted. He would have given a clone.

*is huffy*

[billtodamax]

Um, that sounds like so much fun. Es specially if all you care about is breaking it.

Oh, it was fun until we had to get the strings part off. A solid lump of iron glued onto a thick lump of wood.

I think we just started hammering the %&#! out of it.

Then it got better.

[happyturtle]

I was in Virginia visiting family.

And you can always say that a henchmen misunderstood Jack's orders and told Darcy to deliver the original Abigail.

Speaking of Darcy, I'm a little surprised Jack isn't taking the opportunity to do unspeakable things to her.

[horngeek]

[Morty]

But... he is... how would...
*brain switches off*
Also, let's see. We currently have Dipsnig, Cornelius, TSA-1 and Tiberius working on the plan to kill Jack. Rebecca and Haley might also help. Normally, something like this would be a carefully coordinated effort, but due to timezones, liberties will need to be taken. Big ones.

[billtodamax]

Yeah, me and you pretty much have opposite time zones.

[Murkus]

Feels like a shoddy explanation, but... alright.

The henchman in question probably died in the blast, anyway. All the better for him. Jack would probably get pissy.

And as for your final comment, I reitirate horngeek's expression:

Well, though he may seem like one sick ****, Jack always does things for a reason. So no, random... ah, let's just stick to 'unspeakable things' are not on his list of things to do.

And yes, according to the community that came up with the concept, Dipsnig, Jack can... do unspeakable things. Weird, amirite?

[Morty]

I'd rather not dwell on it too much.
As for the plan, we'll see how it goes. It'd be a shame for it to be ruined by timezones and deadtime, though.

[horngeek]

I'd rather not dwell on it too much.

This.

[Murkus]

Yes, let's all just move right along, thank you, nothing to think about here.

On Dipsnig's 'plan', it would also be a shame for it to be ruined by Jack running away like a scared little girl when he gets dimension locked.

[Morty]

That's what a couple of NO members with bludgeoning weapons and ropes will be there for.

[horngeek]

...it would be Bloody Hilarious.

[Murkus]

Then we shall see how it goes!

(Player not responsible for NO member's possible loss of limbs, bones, spines, internal organs, or heads)

[D_Lord]

That was EPIC Murkus, and Firefox!

Dark Lord is amussed. And Still can't spell.

edit: Tobias isn't free just yet. He still signed in blood, and Amen doesn't let you go that easyly.

Gorden has blood magic and should have been doing something while this is going on. But that is up to the Phantom but it makes sence to me.

[The Bushranger]

Well, whatever happens with the contract*, there's three days (counting today) to get it sorted out before Toby and Quinn go on their honeymoon during FF's summer camp...


* Are you sure it was Tobias' blood that was used?

[happyturtle]

Feels like a shoddy explanation, but... alright.

You people and your dirty minds...

I meant 'unspeakable things' like evil experiments, exposure to cosmic horrors, surgery without anesthesia...

[Murkus]

Exposure to cosmic horrors generally works better if you're awake. But perhaps Jack could turn Darcy into his evil, insane apprentice!

Since his last few died, and all.

And thank you, Darklord.

[happyturtle]

Darcy will remain unconscious for a while, as Darcy's player is exhausted and sore and achy from plane travel.

Also, I assume since you're making stable clones that they'll be growing slowly, right?

Hopefully I can post for her tomorrow.

[ThePhantom]

They should be, Magtok just walked in, and he's the cloning expert.

[Murkus]

Yes, from what I know (which comes out to an even 'notalot') stable clones grow pretty slow.

[iElf]

Yes, from what I know (which comes out to an even 'notalot') stable clones grow pretty slow.

Which is why EDENcorp prefers to use the faster ones..even tough they have a very short life cycle. oh, and Magtok, what would have the EDENcorp scientists found out about Magtok by taking a very good look at Margaret?

[Bergett]

So apparently I do have an evil character that was in AMEN I just dug him up from somewhere I don't remember.
But what I do remember is he was in the AMEN auditions.
I think he shot the judge or something.
I think that's what got him in.

[Lord Magtok]

Which is why EDENcorp prefers to use the faster ones..even tough they have a very short life cycle. oh, and Magtok, what would have the EDENcorp scientists found out about Magtok by taking a very good look at Margaret?

I...don't know? If anything, I'd be asking Beans that question. Magtok had no part in her design or construction, whoever was behind it clearly had his design in mind, but...as I said, I dunno.

[Beans]

Whoever built Margaret's cybernetics managed to build them fairly close to Magtok's, so EDEN probably got at least some knowledge out of it.
Of course, I don't know about Mag's clanky bits, so...
They'd probably be at least a bit more knowledgeable about Mag now, though probably more in a broad sense than fine details.

UNRELATED: I'm pretty sure Dessica is 14, iElf; how old is Summer?

14. but she looks young for her age

[DoomITP]

For a few days I have been thinking of making a Space thread for the Nexus, just because of how much more stuff you could RP with space exploration as an option. It would function the same as Outside or Inside.
