I know it's probably obvious but who is DLB?
I'm fine with being Want (as long as you make me really stroppy) and Firedrake will be Ignorance whether he wants too or not.
Also are we gonna do it like fff with everyone posting or are we gonna choose one person to do it all.

[Green-Shirt Q]

I actually don't think Green-shirt Q would work well as Jacob Marley. If I remember correctly, Marley was a douchebag bad guy. I don't think that fits "GSQ".

Who was the other choice? The guy who was going to be Marley for Lying? I think that could work well enough for Q too.

Cause it's a new page:
A ? by the name indicates that they haven't agreed to it yet.

@Nameless: 1. You kill vampire cat. 2. Zombie cat shows up. 3. You hit it, Lich cat shows up, vampire cat awakes. 4. Another Zmbie shows up, Lich hit you. 5. Cats kill you. 6. Cats play with your clothes and legs.


@Q: Here's you as Scrooge

[memnarch]

I must say that i don't really picture scrooge having a beard. This is my picture of what he looks like. Anyone else seen this movie?

Apologies in advance:

I only have paint and Inkscape. The latter isn't very good at this kind of stuff and the former isn't very good at all. Paint's better for this, though.

[Calamity]

*shrug* I don't know, I'm not familiar with all of the characters.

[Green-Shirt Q]

My Scrooge templates.

Anyone else seen this movie?

I've seen the movie version with Muppets in it. Does that count?

[memnarch]

That is from the muppets movie.

Also, why would scrooge have PJs that look like that?

I don't know.

Turns out I didn't save these templates, by the way.

[EDIT] Maybe he's a trekie?

[kpenguin]

The charity dudes will be fine for me. However, Lpenguin would be a better pick than Tvor the other half of Kpen's charity-collecting duo.

Also, I'm not too sure about Lying as the ghost of Christmas past. I just don't see him as a glowing head baby.

[Shades of Gray]

Is Keveak still a ghost? It's important cause I just made a comic relating to him being a ghost.

I've always loved the Patrick Stewart version, which also has no beard.

[memnarch]

Yeah, he's a ghost that may or may not eat fries and that wears a hat somehow.

@/\; he also has no hair on his head.

According to Dickens' novel, the Ghost of Christmas Past appears to Scrooge as a white-robed, androgynous figure of indeterminate age. He had on his head a blazing light, reminiscent of a candle flame. He carried with him a metal cap, made in the shape of a candle extinguisher.

It also was described as "like a child: yet not so like a child as like an old man, [...] diminished to a child's proportions"

[memnarch]

The Ghost of Christmas Past - The first spirit to visit Scrooge, a curiously childlike apparition with a glowing head. He takes Scrooge on a tour of Christmases in his past. The spirit uses a cap to dampen the light emanating from his head.

Source. filler

@/\;cool.

[Lyinginbedmon]

I'm also fairly certain we can take some liberties with representation given that we're populating this performance with the most widely varied selection of people most of us have ever seen.

[kpenguin]

Ah. I always interpreted it as a glowing head baby.

Although the movie had the ghost be a woman and a theater production I saw of it had the ghost be a dude in a nice white suit.

EDIT: Just realized... Lying has boobies!

[Keris]

The ghost is referred to in the novel as "it", so Lying isn't excluded based on gender. We could have Lying child sized when he first appears, but quickly rectify his error.

Or we could switch intermittently between his adult form and his Igon form.

[Fay Graydon]

Dibs on Diskord being Old Joe...
(or maybe Zero..... ill make templates for both and decide on who looks cooler... probs Diskord)

[Keris]

Yeah, but he's described as "like a child: yet not so like a child as like an old man, viewed through some supernatural medium, which gave him the appearance of having receded from the view, and being diminished to a child's proportions."
Also: "Its hair, which hung about its neck and down its back, was white as if with age; and yet the face had not a wrinkle in it, and the tenderest bloom was on the skin. It held a branch of fresh green holly in its hand; and, in singular contradiction of that wintry emblem, had its dress trimmed with summer flowers. But the strangest thing about it was, that from the crown of its head there sprung a bright clear jet of light, by which all this was visible; and which was doubtless the occasion of its using, in its duller moments, a great extinguisher for a cap, which it now held under its arm."

So you might need to make a new version of Lying for this.

5 pages talking about who is what in A Christmas Carol?!

Can't say I disapprove.

Anyways, while Nameless definitely looks like the Ghost of CF, I think I fit the roll of intimidating ominous figure a bit more uniformly.

This.

Very much this.

I can't imagine Nameless as the silent spectre that is the Ghost of Christmas Future.

Now, as the jolly Ghost of Christmas Present...

We really need to get this all sorted out.
