Group Chat for Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010
Okay. The group chat happened tonight, and the only people that showed up were Ally ((mod and mun of Britta, Dannika, Isabelle, and Marie)), Matt ((mun of Alissa and Gemma)), Misery ((mun of Desmond and Jack)), and me.
We discussed some future plot points and everything, so it's definitely worth reading the log. I managed to save it successfully this time.
Ally is livebythebone.
Matt is wasurenaikara182@gmail.com.
Misery is Virtua1Poet.
I am xluridlullabyx.
Session Start (xluridlullabyx:!aol://2719:10-4-manches
[06/22/2010 - 20:16] *** Virtua1Poet has joined the conversation.
[06/22/2010 - 20:16] *** livebythebone has joined the conversation.
[06/22/2010 - 20:17] xluridlullabyx: All righty. Should we wait a little bit for more people or just start now?
[06/22/2010 - 20:17] xluridlullabyx: Oh. There's Matt.
[06/22/2010 - 20:17] *** wasurenaikara182@gmail.com has joined the conversation.
[06/22/2010 - 20:17] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: Hi everyone
[06/22/2010 - 20:17] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: How's it going?
[06/22/2010 - 20:17] xluridlullabyx: Pretty well.
[06/22/2010 - 20:17] livebythebone: I'm good.
[06/22/2010 - 20:17] xluridlullabyx: We're hoping for more people to show.
[06/22/2010 - 20:17] Virtua1Poet: pretty good, except my GF manipulating me into having a headache
[06/22/2010 - 20:17] Virtua1Poet: >.>
[06/22/2010 - 20:17] xluridlullabyx: I didn't manipulate you!
[06/22/2010 - 20:18] livebythebone: I'm not sure where Mark is.
[06/22/2010 - 20:18] livebythebone: :-\
[06/22/2010 - 20:18] xluridlullabyx: I said I wasn't going to force you to come!
[06/22/2010 - 20:18] Virtua1Poet: you guilt tripped me
[06/22/2010 - 20:18] xluridlullabyx: I did not!
[06/22/2010 - 20:18] livebythebone: He should be around.
[06/22/2010 - 20:18] livebythebone: Hey
[06/22/2010 - 20:18] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: Virtua1 Poet = Misery, right?
[06/22/2010 - 20:18] xluridlullabyx: I told you you didn't have to come since you went to the last one.
[06/22/2010 - 20:18] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: How are you?
[06/22/2010 - 20:18] livebythebone: knock it off
[06/22/2010 - 20:18] xluridlullabyx: Yes. He's Misery.
[06/22/2010 - 20:18] Virtua1Poet: No, I meant the caffeine bit
[06/22/2010 - 20:18] xluridlullabyx: Oh...
[06/22/2010 - 20:18] xluridlullabyx: I didn't say you -couldn't- drink caffeine. I said you shouldn't.
[06/22/2010 - 20:19] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: XD The classic Caffeine debate again.
[06/22/2010 - 20:19] Virtua1Poet: manipulations
[06/22/2010 - 20:19] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: Just got one having this one.
[06/22/2010 - 20:19] Virtua1Poet: when I get hooked on pain killers because of my headaches, then where will you be, huh?
[06/22/2010 - 20:19] xluridlullabyx: I don't drink soda. The only caffeine I ever get is from tea, but I don't drink tea very often any more.
[06/22/2010 - 20:19] xluridlullabyx: :: sighs :: You won't get addicted if you don't overdo it. :: pats ::
[06/22/2010 - 20:19] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: I can't live without the stuff.
[06/22/2010 - 20:20] xluridlullabyx: You're a grown man. You can make your own decisions.
[06/22/2010 - 20:20] xluridlullabyx: I can.
[06/22/2010 - 20:20] livebythebone: I'm changing my font cause I'm cool like dat.
[06/22/2010 - 20:20] xluridlullabyx: I used to be addicted to it, but it got to the point where I would get headaches if I drank it, but I would also get headaches without it because of the withdrawel.
[06/22/2010 - 20:20] xluridlullabyx: So my doctor told me to stop altogether because once the withdrawel was over, I was much better off.
[06/22/2010 - 20:20] livebythebone: Oh hey. So this is a RP chat, right?
[06/22/2010 - 20:20] xluridlullabyx: I also lost a lot of weight when I stopped drinking soda.
[06/22/2010 - 20:21] xluridlullabyx: Yes.
[06/22/2010 - 20:21] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: I think, Ally.
[06/22/2010 - 20:21] xluridlullabyx: Anyway, is four enough to say the idea that Misery and I had
[06/22/2010 - 20:21] xluridlullabyx: ?
[06/22/2010 - 20:21] xluridlullabyx: Or should we wait for more?
[06/22/2010 - 20:21] Virtua1Poet: right right, I thought we were waiting before startin, sorreh
[06/22/2010 - 20:21] xluridlullabyx: Like Mark?
[06/22/2010 - 20:21] livebythebone: No, go ahead. I dunno where Mark is.
[06/22/2010 - 20:21] xluridlullabyx: Okay.
[06/22/2010 - 20:22] xluridlullabyx: Well, Misery and I were talking, and we both think that the role play needs something. We realized that players can only survive on reactionary threads for so long, but if there's nothing to really -do- then it gets stale.
[06/22/2010 - 20:22] livebythebone: We can catch others up as they arrive if necessary.
[06/22/2010 - 20:22] xluridlullabyx: Maybe an underlying plot could really help boost things.
[06/22/2010 - 20:22] xluridlullabyx: Mmkay. That sounds good.
[06/22/2010 - 20:22] livebythebone: Yeah, Mark and I were talking about this.
[06/22/2010 - 20:22] livebythebone: It's been a little lax just cause we were just starting out. We only turned over a month yesterday.
[06/22/2010 - 20:23] livebythebone: Even though the summer semester is still going on and people could be going to summer classes, the fall semester wont' be starting until the middle of August.
[06/22/2010 - 20:23] xluridlullabyx: The thing is, I don't really have any ideas for said plot. The only thing I thought of when I thought of a plot was the whole supernatural segregation thing. It reminded me of the mutant issues in X-Men.
[06/22/2010 - 20:23] livebythebone: and when that happens we'll have a lot more to go off of, because of rush week and student body elections and all that.
[06/22/2010 - 20:23] xluridlullabyx: Yeah. My character has a couple of classes right now.
[06/22/2010 - 20:24] xluridlullabyx: Yeah.
[06/22/2010 - 20:24] xluridlullabyx: But it won't be fall for a while. We need something else to go on, don't you think?
[06/22/2010 - 20:24] livebythebone: I think Noah was going to work on putting together a list of the teachers and what classes they teach as well as what students might have classes together so that there could be that kind of threading, too.
[06/22/2010 - 20:24] livebythebone: I do think so, yes.
[06/22/2010 - 20:24] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: Hmm...Well, Manchester is technically a high crime area for the region. Maybe we could have an NPC Alden student murdered? (random plot idea)
[06/22/2010 - 20:25] livebythebone: That's a good idea, Matt.
[06/22/2010 - 20:25] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: *not using regional knowledge or anything* *rolls eyes* XD
[06/22/2010 - 20:25] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: I can see a lot of different reactions depending on the race of the victim.
[06/22/2010 - 20:25] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: And gender.
[06/22/2010 - 20:26] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: I'm thinking another female elf, maybe mistaken for a human, raped and murdered in a club. Stop me if you don't like anything.
[06/22/2010 - 20:26] xluridlullabyx: Maybe a group of students would end up deciding to be vigilantes or something because of it?
[06/22/2010 - 20:26] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: That's kind of what I'm thinking.
[06/22/2010 - 20:26] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: Gemma would be counted among that number, and maybe even offer to start teaching a women's self defense class.
[06/22/2010 - 20:26] livebythebone: If it was a supernatural that would throw the supers for a loop, but if it was a human it would throw suspicion immediately on the supers
[06/22/2010 - 20:27] xluridlullabyx: That's true.
[06/22/2010 - 20:27] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: At the same time, though, if we do that it starts to skirt the line of X-Men-esque race relations.
[06/22/2010 - 20:27] livebythebone: It could even end up being something of a witch hunt because the supers are so racially profiled.
[06/22/2010 - 20:27] Virtua1Poet: A more interesting question might be... if this was a story you were writing, where would the main conflict be at? Not to derail from the whole murder bit...
[06/22/2010 - 20:28] livebythebone: The main conflict is that there is tension between humans and supernaturals and any time something happens to either side, they blame the others.
[06/22/2010 - 20:29] Virtua1Poet: So it is sort of X-men-y
[06/22/2010 - 20:29] xluridlullabyx: :: nods :: That's the feel I got from it.
[06/22/2010 - 20:29] livebythebone: Well, I'm not very familiar with X-Men
[06/22/2010 - 20:29] xluridlullabyx: Really? I thought you were because of the whole mutant role play you had once upon a time...
[06/22/2010 - 20:29] livebythebone: I'm thinking more of the black/white conflict of the 50s/60s
[06/22/2010 - 20:29] Virtua1Poet: same diff, really
[06/22/2010 - 20:29] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: Sort of, but I honestly think we should avoid X-men-y things as much as possible because then potential players would see it and think "This is just a Marvel game with different muties."
[06/22/2010 - 20:29] livebythebone: That's why our mutants were OCs, cause I had no idea about X-Men
[06/22/2010 - 20:29] xluridlullabyx: Oh.
[06/22/2010 - 20:30] xluridlullabyx: Matt, there aren't any "mutants" with special powers. These are mythological humanoids. Anyone looking at this role play wouldn't think X-Men initially.
[06/22/2010 - 20:30] Virtua1Poet: Haha, I'd disagree on that one
[06/22/2010 - 20:30] Virtua1Poet: I didn't think X-men until you brought it up
[06/22/2010 - 20:31] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: I know. I'm just saying if people look into it, they'd see similiarities to a certain extent.
[06/22/2010 - 20:31] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: On the note of race relations, I mean.
[06/22/2010 - 20:31] xluridlullabyx: Well, nothing is original any more. Ideas have all been done at one point or another. Hell, even history can't help but to repeat itself.
[06/22/2010 - 20:31] livebythebone: That's in the premise of our game.
[06/22/2010 - 20:31] livebythebone: The race relations.
[06/22/2010 - 20:31] xluridlullabyx: Where do you think the X-Men got the idea for the racial profiling? From real history.
[06/22/2010 - 20:31] livebythebone: It's sort of what our game is built upon.
[06/22/2010 - 20:31] livebythebone: Why the supers have to go to their own university, etc.
[06/22/2010 - 20:32] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: Kathryn, I know. I've been reading Marvel for 15 years.
[06/22/2010 - 20:32] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: And I get that, but I'm saying if we play it too close to X-Men stories, some people might be discouraged. Let's get back to plots, please?
[06/22/2010 - 20:33] xluridlullabyx: Who says we have to play it like the X-Men stories?
[06/22/2010 - 20:33] xluridlullabyx: Who says we even are?
[06/22/2010 - 20:33] livebythebone: I'm really not looking to do anything related to X-Men, so that shouldn't be a problem.
[06/22/2010 - 20:33] livebythebone: So yeah, let's get back to plotting.
[06/22/2010 - 20:33] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: So...yeah...
[06/22/2010 - 20:34] livebythebone: Mark and I have a supervillain NPC in mind that may come to terrorize the school and the dean sometime in the future, but I don't think now is the time.
[06/22/2010 - 20:34] Virtua1Poet: I guess why I brought up the question of overall plotlines was to get a feel for where to take storylines with this thing. The attack is a good idea, but that'll last like... 1 week, maybe 2
[06/22/2010 - 20:35] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: We also might need more people before a gamewide plot can effectively develop. I mean, we have...what is it now, 12, 14 characters, but how many are really played often? If we don't get more people involved, any gamewide plot is just going to die.
[06/22/2010 - 20:35] livebythebone: The murder seems a little more concise and easily played out.
[06/22/2010 - 20:36] Virtua1Poet: And if we have no plots, then it all is going to die =)
[06/22/2010 - 20:36] livebythebone: I agree.
[06/22/2010 - 20:36] xluridlullabyx: I have an advertisement in a forum I frequent, so hopefully some people there will see it.
[06/22/2010 - 20:36] livebythebone: I've been advertising in the hopes of getting more people into the game.
[06/22/2010 - 20:36] livebythebone: On IJ and LJ
[06/22/2010 - 20:37] xluridlullabyx: I don't know where else I can advertise that will bring decent players, though.
[06/22/2010 - 20:37] livebythebone: We got an app recently, just need Mark to approve it.
[06/22/2010 - 20:37] livebythebone: It's tough. Usually summer is when a lot of people play.
[06/22/2010 - 20:37] xluridlullabyx: Do you know the name of the person?
[06/22/2010 - 20:37] livebythebone: We just have to keep advertising.
[06/22/2010 - 20:37] livebythebone: Um, Dori I think?
[06/22/2010 - 20:37] xluridlullabyx: Oh... Then it's not one of the people on FoG who showed interest.
[06/22/2010 - 20:38] xluridlullabyx: Misery, do you have any ideas for lasting plots or for ones that can be initiated soon?
[06/22/2010 - 20:38] Virtua1Poet: So, again, is the theme of this rp about Supernaturals learning to live as humans, or humans hating on supernaturals because they're different, or....?
[06/22/2010 - 20:39] Virtua1Poet: Need to nail down a theme first. Which is what I'm trying to do. The Spirit of the rp if you will.
[06/22/2010 - 20:39] livebythebone: The theme is humans hating on supernaturals because they scare them. The hope of the Dean is that by allowing humans to attend at a very low tuition, that it will educate humans and thus guide the world into a better future.
[06/22/2010 - 20:39] livebythebone: Where they can co-exist, not change each other.
[06/22/2010 - 20:40] Virtua1Poet: Interesting
[06/22/2010 - 20:40] xluridlullabyx: What are your thoughts, Misery?
[06/22/2010 - 20:40] Virtua1Poet: Thanks for putting me on the spot, sweetness *pats*
[06/22/2010 - 20:40] xluridlullabyx: I didn't mean to...
[06/22/2010 - 20:41] xluridlullabyx: I was just curious if you were thinking anything in particular.
[06/22/2010 - 20:41] Virtua1Poet: I just didn't get that from the rp so far... I guess it seems like most of the humans aren't necessarily so afraid/fearing/loathing the supernatural
[06/22/2010 - 20:41] Virtua1Poet: if anything they seem in awe of them mostly
[06/22/2010 - 20:41] livebythebone: We have three humans, so far.
[06/22/2010 - 20:41] Virtua1Poet: First thought that really comes to mind is some real persecution
[06/22/2010 - 20:42] livebythebone: My Dannika is in awe because she has never encountered them before.
[06/22/2010 - 20:42] livebythebone: I think if she saw what they could do... the more violent ones, yeah she'd be freaked out.
[06/22/2010 - 20:42] Virtua1Poet: I'm not criticizing anyone, just giving my impression
[06/22/2010 - 20:42] livebythebone: I wasn't taking it as a criticism. Just letting you know where my hooman stands.
[06/22/2010 - 20:42] Virtua1Poet: But yeah, I mean, in all of these things, if you want an air of fear, then you need something that supposedly 'fights the fear'
[06/22/2010 - 20:43] Virtua1Poet: Like, an ultra conservative Christian group called "The Crimson Cross" or something like that
[06/22/2010 - 20:43] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: I'm not sure there'd be an air of fear.
[06/22/2010 - 20:43] Virtua1Poet: In X-men it was the Friends of Humanity
[06/22/2010 - 20:43] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: Manchester has the highest crime rate in New Hampshire, yes, but it's a very liberal city and very accepting.
[06/22/2010 - 20:43] Virtua1Poet: Mage: The Ascension you have the Technocracy
[06/22/2010 - 20:44] livebythebone: So you think an NPC group of human activists? Is that what you mean?
[06/22/2010 - 20:44] Virtua1Poet: exactly
[06/22/2010 - 20:44] Virtua1Poet: Or maybe even not so NPC group
[06/22/2010 - 20:44] livebythebone: Maybe picketing the school?
[06/22/2010 - 20:44] Virtua1Poet: Or infiltrating it
[06/22/2010 - 20:45] livebythebone: Well, I'm not sure who of our humans in the game would be into that kind of thing.
[06/22/2010 - 20:45] Virtua1Poet: doesn't have to be on the current roster
[06/22/2010 - 20:45] livebythebone: But we could certainly advertise for them.
[06/22/2010 - 20:45] Virtua1Poet: could be a new character, of another NPC like Alden
[06/22/2010 - 20:45] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: Yeah. In all honesty, to fit the mold of the area they'd probably have to be uber-conservatives who'd be gawked at and openly mocked by the community at large.
[06/22/2010 - 20:46] livebythebone: I could see that.
[06/22/2010 - 20:46] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: Just because this is such a forward-thinking area, by and large.
[06/22/2010 - 20:46] livebythebone: Might be fun, but I like the infiltrating idea.
[06/22/2010 - 20:46] Virtua1Poet: Again, they don't necessarily need to be up front about it either
[06/22/2010 - 20:46] Virtua1Poet: They could be like the illuminati
[06/22/2010 - 20:46] Virtua1Poet: A secret society of humans dedicated to protecting humanity from supernaturals
[06/22/2010 - 20:46] livebythebone: haha!
[06/22/2010 - 20:46] livebythebone: That would be awesome.
[06/22/2010 - 20:47] xluridlullabyx: I like that idea.
[06/22/2010 - 20:47] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: Depending on how it's applied, it could be interesting.
[06/22/2010 - 20:47] livebythebone: and we could have conspiracy theorists among our supers
[06/22/2010 - 20:47] livebythebone: "I swear, that human is looking at me funny." "You're dreaming."
[06/22/2010 - 20:47] livebythebone: Tee hee
[06/22/2010 - 20:48] xluridlullabyx: Also, Matt, just because the city as you know it is ultra-liberal doesn't mean that in an alternate reality where supernaturals who are a lot better than humans in a lot of ways ((some of those ways quite dangerous)) wouldn't make a place like that tense.

[06/22/2010 - 20:48] xluridlullabyx: ((some of those ways quite dangerous)) wouldn't make a place like that tense.
[06/22/2010 - 20:50] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: To a certain extent yes, but people around here (even historically, if you want to throw history at me again) are far more tolerant than to resort to open violence.
[06/22/2010 - 20:50] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: Not in large groups. A few nutjobs here or there, maybe some muggings and a murder or two, but not riots.
[06/22/2010 - 20:50] livebythebone: We are playing the game as if Supers have been around for a long time and that they are feared.
[06/22/2010 - 20:50] livebythebone: Humans fear them.
[06/22/2010 - 20:50] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: Then any open violence (if it happened at all) would have been years ago, yes?
[06/22/2010 - 20:50] livebythebone: Some humans accept them, but most of them don't.
[06/22/2010 - 20:50] livebythebone: Not necessarily.
[06/22/2010 - 20:51] livebythebone: There could be groups of humans, think KKK, who attack supers, catch them off guard and then cry to the authorities when the super fights back.
[06/22/2010 - 20:51] Virtua1Poet: It could also be that there was bloodshed back in the day, but it didn't go so hot for the humans. So the haters went underground until they were better armed
[06/22/2010 - 20:52] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: Better armed how? New Hampshire has some of the tightest gun control in the country. *trying to think realistically* Where would they get these weapons if they were unerground?
[06/22/2010 - 20:52] Virtua1Poet: Uhm....
[06/22/2010 - 20:52] Virtua1Poet: Does NH have Supernaturals running around it ?
[06/22/2010 - 20:52] livebythebone: That could work and could even set up a path for new weapons.
[06/22/2010 - 20:53] Virtua1Poet: Because if not, we've sort of already broken away slightly from reality....
[06/22/2010 - 20:53] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: The sarcasm is a bit unnecessary. I'm trying to think of potential loopholes in the plot.
[06/22/2010 - 20:53] livebythebone: Doesn't necessarily have to be guns. And I'm sure with the segregation and such that humans would probably be more armed in our AU NH.
[06/22/2010 - 20:55] Virtua1Poet: It could be that Alden itself provided the catalyst for it all
[06/22/2010 - 20:55] xluridlullabyx: Matt, we appreciate your knowledge of the place because you live there, but there are going to be loopholes in anything because history may be different if we'd had supernaturals. It could lead to different laws and everything.
[06/22/2010 - 20:55] Virtua1Poet: After all, they're handing out medallions which stop humans from getting charmed
[06/22/2010 - 20:55] livebythebone: Despite laws that might be in effect now, with the supers all over the world and the rampant fear that humans have of them taking over and such, they would lobby for some way to control them. The first being segregation, and there would be laws that prohibit violence against a human from a super but not the other way around.
[06/22/2010 - 20:55] xluridlullabyx: Life could be completely different from what you know of it.
[06/22/2010 - 20:56] xluridlullabyx: There are going to be loopholes in any plot idea because it's reality vs. fantasy.
[06/22/2010 - 20:56] livebythebone: Supers are horribly mistreated by the humans who fear them.
[06/22/2010 - 20:57] livebythebone: There are a select few humans who are proactive about co-existing with supernaturals. But the majority of the world fears them. So lets assume that we are living in an AU world where the supernaturals have very little to no rights when it comes to their interaction with humans.
[06/22/2010 - 20:58] xluridlullabyx: That makes sense to me
[06/22/2010 - 20:58] Virtua1Poet: and it opens things up to an overall theme, which was what I was interested in
[06/22/2010 - 20:58] livebythebone: So, for instance.... if there were to be a murder and the victim was a human, the supernatural community would immediatly come under suspision.
[06/22/2010 - 20:58] xluridlullabyx: There's power in numbers, and not all supernaturals get along with different races, so I wouldn't be surprised if the humans outnumbers the supers in that sense.
[06/22/2010 - 20:59] livebythebone: But it would rally the supernatural community together if the victim were a supernatural.
[06/22/2010 - 20:59] livebythebone: And though they might suspect a human of the murder, there would be very little they could do as far as a conviction, etc.
[06/22/2010 - 21:00] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: I just had a plot idea, on that note. I haven't been able to get Gemma's muse at all. What if she's the victim? That way she's not just sitting un-played.
[06/22/2010 - 21:00] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: We could say a gang of ignorant racists caught her off guard.
[06/22/2010 - 21:00] livebythebone: You really want to kill Gemma?
[06/22/2010 - 21:00] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: I'm not entirely opposed to it. It might give a bigger gamewide impact if it's a PC, too.
[06/22/2010 - 21:00] livebythebone: I've been looking forward to playing with her. I haven't yet.
[06/22/2010 - 21:01] livebythebone: It's up to you.
[06/22/2010 - 21:01] xluridlullabyx: There's also the idea that there were a group of humans and group of supernaturals who got into a fight and at least one on each side died, and no one comes forward with the crime, so both sides rally against the other
[06/22/2010 - 21:01] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: It's just something to consider.
[06/22/2010 - 21:01] livebythebone: That could work. Something of a West Side Story/Romeo and Juliet thing.
[06/22/2010 - 21:02] xluridlullabyx: Maybe, except there doesn't have to be the love interest.
[06/22/2010 - 21:02] livebythebone: Rival Gangs/Houses/Races...
[06/22/2010 - 21:02] xluridlullabyx: Just the deaths.
[06/22/2010 - 21:02] livebythebone: Yeah
[06/22/2010 - 21:02] xluridlullabyx: :: nods ::
[06/22/2010 - 21:02] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: Though it wouldn't be much of a fight if it were even numbers. Instead of gangs, it should probably be a much smaller group of supers.
[06/22/2010 - 21:02] livebythebone: Yeah, that's true.
[06/22/2010 - 21:03] livebythebone: The humans would be outpowered for sure.
[06/22/2010 - 21:03] xluridlullabyx: Well, if they were even numbers, the supers would annihilate them all with their superior abilities.
[06/22/2010 - 21:03] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: You're the one who suggested a gang fight.
[06/22/2010 - 21:03] xluridlullabyx: I didn't mean it like that.
[06/22/2010 - 21:03] xluridlullabyx: I didn't say anything about numbers.
[06/22/2010 - 21:03] Virtua1Poet: Somewhat, yeah, but with inside out clothes, silver and iron humans have a lot going for them
[06/22/2010 - 21:03] xluridlullabyx: I just said a group on either side.
[06/22/2010 - 21:03] livebythebone: That's true, too.
[06/22/2010 - 21:04] livebythebone: And it doesn't have to be an all out fight.
[06/22/2010 - 21:04] Virtua1Poet: The other interesting thing would be, where do Angels and witches fall in this fight?
[06/22/2010 - 21:04] Virtua1Poet: Maybe witches, for example, get a free pass
[06/22/2010 - 21:04] livebythebone: It could be someone on one side getting killed, and the others going in for a retalliation attack.
[06/22/2010 - 21:04] xluridlullabyx: Witches are technically humans.
[06/22/2010 - 21:04] livebythebone: Sort of steath... not an open brawl somewhere.
[06/22/2010 - 21:04] xluridlullabyx: That could work.
[06/22/2010 - 21:05] xluridlullabyx: It would be condusive to having underground groups.
[06/22/2010 - 21:05] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: An assassination?
[06/22/2010 - 21:05] livebythebone: Sort of, yeah.
[06/22/2010 - 21:05] livebythebone: Could even be an accident.
[06/22/2010 - 21:05] livebythebone: The first one.
[06/22/2010 - 21:05] livebythebone: But the second one might be a retallitory kill.
[06/22/2010 - 21:05] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: Who kills first?
[06/22/2010 - 21:06] livebythebone: Doesn't really matter.
[06/22/2010 - 21:06] livebythebone: I'd say a human getting killed first, though, would probably work out best.
[06/22/2010 - 21:06] Virtua1Poet: Haha, could be that the group kills first and second
[06/22/2010 - 21:06] livebythebone: Since the humans would be so angry about it.
[06/22/2010 - 21:06] Virtua1Poet: After all, if you want to start a war
[06/22/2010 - 21:06] livebythebone: True.
[06/22/2010 - 21:06] Virtua1Poet: The best way is to make the first shot, and pretend it was your enemy that did it
[06/22/2010 - 21:07] livebythebone: Yeah, that would be really sneaky.
[06/22/2010 - 21:07] xluridlullabyx: Definitely.
[06/22/2010 - 21:07] livebythebone: Especially if there was a human who wanted another human dead for some reason.
[06/22/2010 - 21:07] livebythebone: Could even be a semi-important human.
[06/22/2010 - 21:07] livebythebone: Like a mayor or judge or something.
[06/22/2010 - 21:07] livebythebone: brb
[06/22/2010 - 21:08] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: Or a civil rights leader.
[06/22/2010 - 21:08] Virtua1Poet: There's an idea
[06/22/2010 - 21:08] livebythebone: That too
[06/22/2010 - 21:08] xluridlullabyx: I like that idea.
[06/22/2010 - 21:08] Virtua1Poet: the head of a 'let's be friends and hug with the supernaturals'
[06/22/2010 - 21:08] livebythebone: Cause the humans don't like them...
[06/22/2010 - 21:09] Virtua1Poet: have her raped, murdered. Drain the body of blood. make it look like a vampire did it
[06/22/2010 - 21:09] livebythebone: Exactly.
[06/22/2010 - 21:10] livebythebone: The only thing is that if a demon were able to get ahold of the body, they'd know everything about the murder.
[06/22/2010 - 21:10] Virtua1Poet: Doesn't matter
[06/22/2010 - 21:10] xluridlullabyx: What human would believe a daemon?
[06/22/2010 - 21:10] Virtua1Poet: Then they just claim that the demon was an accomplice
[06/22/2010 - 21:10] xluridlullabyx: :: nods ::
[06/22/2010 - 21:10] livebythebone: Probably not, but the supernatural community would.
[06/22/2010 - 21:11] Virtua1Poet: True, but if the supernaturals did it, it would only serve the cause of the group, right?
[06/22/2010 - 21:11] Virtua1Poet: I mean, what would the supernatural community do? They'd band together
[06/22/2010 - 21:11] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: And every super knows that.
[06/22/2010 - 21:11] Virtua1Poet: further dividing humans and supers
[06/22/2010 - 21:11] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: It would take a lot for them not to trust one of their own.
[06/22/2010 - 21:12] xluridlullabyx: Except that you forget that not all supers get along.
[06/22/2010 - 21:12] xluridlullabyx: Just take vampires and dhampirs as an example.
[06/22/2010 - 21:12] xluridlullabyx: One has the urge to hunt the other for a living.
[06/22/2010 - 21:12] Virtua1Poet: I can't imagine that demons and angels get along very well either
[06/22/2010 - 21:12] xluridlullabyx: :: nods :: My thoughts, too.
[06/22/2010 - 21:13] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: In the wake of a tragedy, they'd set their differences aside, one would think. It is only logical to assume that two groups with a common enemy would join to fight that enemy.
[06/22/2010 - 21:13] livebythebone: That would add a fun twist.
[06/22/2010 - 21:13] livebythebone: That might be true, if they hate humans more than some other races. But each super is different.
[06/22/2010 - 21:14] xluridlullabyx: Well... one tragedy is the death of a human and a super, and that's only going to serve to further divide those two...
[06/22/2010 - 21:14] Virtua1Poet: That would be true if they had definitive proof
[06/22/2010 - 21:14] xluridlullabyx: :: nods :: Proof would be the necessary catalyst to bond them.
[06/22/2010 - 21:14] livebythebone: Many of them might rally, but the angels might really think that a super was capable and did it.
[06/22/2010 - 21:15] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: I need to get to bed. I'll be around later tomorrow.
[06/22/2010 - 21:15] livebythebone: but it would be fun to have a couple supers who doubted the others
[06/22/2010 - 21:15] livebythebone: Okay, have a good night Matt!
[06/22/2010 - 21:15] wasurenaikara182@gmail.com: You too.
[06/22/2010 - 21:15] xluridlullabyx: Night, Matt.
[06/22/2010 - 21:15] Virtua1Poet: Night
[06/22/2010 - 21:15] *** wasurenaikara182@gmail.com has left the conversation.
[06/22/2010 - 21:16] xluridlullabyx: I wish more people were online to discuss this.
[06/22/2010 - 21:16] xluridlullabyx: I thought for sure this chat would bring more people than the last one.
[06/22/2010 - 21:16] livebythebone: Eh.
[06/22/2010 - 21:17] livebythebone: Chats don't often bring a lot of people.
[06/22/2010 - 21:17] livebythebone: I thought for sure Mark would try to make it, though.
[06/22/2010 - 21:17] livebythebone: He said he would, anyway.
[06/22/2010 - 21:17] Virtua1Poet: to be fair, it wasn't like there were more at hte last one, but it was pretty off topic
[06/22/2010 - 21:18] Virtua1Poet: Maybe we should summarize the ideas that came out of this and put it in an ooc post and take it to a thread?
[06/22/2010 - 21:18] livebythebone: We could.
[06/22/2010 - 21:18] Virtua1Poet: Who is Vanima, BTW?
[06/22/2010 - 21:18] xluridlullabyx: That's Ally.
[06/22/2010 - 21:18] livebythebone: Me
[06/22/2010 - 21:18] Virtua1Poet: oh
[06/22/2010 - 21:18] Virtua1Poet: *LOL* so it's just the 3 of us then
[06/22/2010 - 21:19] xluridlullabyx: Yes.
[06/22/2010 - 21:19] Virtua1Poet: fair enough
[06/22/2010 - 21:19] livebythebone: Yes
[06/22/2010 - 21:19] livebythebone: So, I like both ideas, because I think the murder could really lead into the human activist group.
[06/22/2010 - 21:20] livebythebone: Because if the humans are being killed, then they might want to go undercover or whatever....
[06/22/2010 - 21:20] Virtua1Poet: Or give the one that's waiting for a pretense to start a war to actually go through with it
[06/22/2010 - 21:20] livebythebone: And as far as weapons, I think there should be some sort of government agency inventing weapons specifically for use against supernaturals. To keep them contained.
[06/22/2010 - 21:21] xluridlullabyx: That's a good idea.
[06/22/2010 - 21:21] *** VanimaLuhta has left the conversation.
[06/22/2010 - 21:21] Virtua1Poet: So Ally, I know it says in the rules that if a human drinks dhampir blood it helps them live longer
[06/22/2010 - 21:21] Virtua1Poet: does the same apply to Vampire blood?
[06/22/2010 - 21:21] xluridlullabyx: Maybe they're making medallions similar to the ones the school gives to the humans, too?
[06/22/2010 - 21:21] livebythebone: Yes
[06/22/2010 - 21:21] livebythebone: I think that would be appropriate, Kathryn.
[06/22/2010 - 21:22] xluridlullabyx: But I imagine the way they're made would be different. Magick is used to make the school's, right?
[06/22/2010 - 21:22] livebythebone: The humans would want to defend themselves as much as possible.
[06/22/2010 - 21:22] xluridlullabyx: So the humans couldn't make them all in large supply.
[06/22/2010 - 21:22] xluridlullabyx: Becuase it would be harder.
[06/22/2010 - 21:22] xluridlullabyx: Because*
[06/22/2010 - 21:22] xluridlullabyx: Unless there are some witches on the human side.
[06/22/2010 - 21:22] livebythebone: Which is entirely possible.
[06/22/2010 - 21:22] xluridlullabyx: Because it's not uncommon for one side to defect to another for personal reasons.
[06/22/2010 - 21:23] xluridlullabyx: Or for personal gain.
[06/22/2010 - 21:23] livebythebone: Like Jack, for instance.
[06/22/2010 - 21:23] xluridlullabyx: :: nods ::
[06/22/2010 - 21:23] Virtua1Poet: *LULZ*
[06/22/2010 - 21:23] xluridlullabyx: Well, it was your idea to have him hate the gods. XD
[06/22/2010 - 21:23] xluridlullabyx: And he is an inventor...
[06/22/2010 - 21:24] Virtua1Poet: too true
[06/22/2010 - 21:24] Virtua1Poet: I had a crazy idea for the head of the secret society, if we have one
[06/22/2010 - 21:24] xluridlullabyx: What's the idea?
[06/22/2010 - 21:25] livebythebone: Shoot
[06/22/2010 - 21:25] Virtua1Poet: Have it be Van Helsing
[06/22/2010 - 21:25] livebythebone: Is he immortal?
[06/22/2010 - 21:25] Virtua1Poet: I sort of set him up to be the father of modern vampire hunting
[06/22/2010 - 21:25] xluridlullabyx: Wouldn't that make him a super?
[06/22/2010 - 21:25] Virtua1Poet: Not if he was living off of vampire blood
[06/22/2010 - 21:26] xluridlullabyx: Oh... He could hunt vampires and harvest their blood for his own personal longation of life.
[06/22/2010 - 21:26] xluridlullabyx: And maybe over the years he could have decided that all supers needed to go, not just the vampires?
[06/22/2010 - 21:26] Virtua1Poet: or keep some for a personal supply
[06/22/2010 - 21:26] xluridlullabyx: :: nods ::
[06/22/2010 - 21:27] xluridlullabyx: For scientific testing and such and for their blood.

[06/22/2010 - 21:30] livebythebone: Thanks!
[06/22/2010 - 21:30] livebythebone: I said something about Voldemort, but I think you probably didn't get it.
[06/22/2010 - 21:31] Virtua1Poet: xLuridLullabyx: Wouldn't that make him a super?
poeticmisery: Not if he was living off of vampire blood
xLuridLullabyx: Oh... He could hunt vampires and harvest their blood for his own personal longation of life.
[06/22/2010 - 21:31] xluridlullabyx: We didn't.
[06/22/2010 - 21:31] Virtua1Poet: xLuridLullabyx: Wouldn't that make him a super?
poeticmisery: Not if he was living off of vampire blood
[06/22/2010 - 21:31] livebythebone: Well, like Hitler and Voldemort, they persecuted their own people.
[06/22/2010 - 21:31] xluridlullabyx: Oh.
[06/22/2010 - 21:31] livebythebone: So, Van Helsing could be a super, and still be persecuting and hunting his own people.
[06/22/2010 - 21:31] Virtua1Poet: yeah
[06/22/2010 - 21:32] Virtua1Poet: It would have to be something unnoticeable though
[06/22/2010 - 21:32] Virtua1Poet: like a demi god
[06/22/2010 - 21:34] livebythebone: That would probably be about the only one he could pull off.
[06/22/2010 - 21:34] livebythebone: Maybe an elf, but I don't see Van Helsing as an elf.
[06/22/2010 - 21:35] xluridlullabyx: Wouldn't he have leaf-shaped ears as an elf?
[06/22/2010 - 21:35] Virtua1Poet: not if he carved them into the shape he wanted them himself
[06/22/2010 - 21:35] xluridlullabyx: That's true...
[06/22/2010 - 21:35] livebythebone: Pointed
[06/22/2010 - 21:35] livebythebone: Not necessarily leaf shaped.
[06/22/2010 - 21:36] xluridlullabyx: Sorry. I'm stuck in Tolkien description of elf ears.
[06/22/2010 - 21:36] xluridlullabyx: XD
[06/22/2010 - 21:36] xluridlullabyx: Tolkien's*
[06/22/2010 - 21:36] livebythebone: Heh
[06/22/2010 - 21:37] Virtua1Poet: *LOL*
[06/22/2010 - 21:37] Virtua1Poet: anyway, just an idea. I like that we came up with a theme though, it helps things. Helps set a tone for the rp too
[06/22/2010 - 21:38] xluridlullabyx: Yeah. I think I feel like I have a better understanding of things this way.
[06/22/2010 - 21:38] livebythebone: Along with the humans hating supers, though... I think a lot of supers would resent the humans being at the college...
[06/22/2010 - 21:39] Virtua1Poet: how long ago were the supers supposed to have been officially outed?
[06/22/2010 - 21:39] livebythebone: Upset that they get special treatment or something.
[06/22/2010 - 21:39] Virtua1Poet: would Desmond even know about any of this? *LOL*
[06/22/2010 - 21:39] livebythebone: Um... I think since time began, really.
[06/22/2010 - 21:40] livebythebone: They may have come and gone throughout history and that's why there are fairytales and myths and legends.
[06/22/2010 - 21:40] xluridlullabyx: What about when the segregation laws were made?
[06/22/2010 - 21:40] livebythebone: But people have mostly known about them for a while.
[06/22/2010 - 21:40] livebythebone: Probably around the revolutionary war times.
[06/22/2010 - 21:40] livebythebone: At least in the US. I don't know about the rest of the world.
[06/22/2010 - 21:41] xluridlullabyx: brb
[06/22/2010 - 21:42] livebythebone: ok
[06/22/2010 - 21:43] livebythebone: I should probably get going soon. I have stuff to cook for my lunch tomorrow.
[06/22/2010 - 21:43] Virtua1Poet: alrighty
[06/22/2010 - 21:43] livebythebone: If you guys have any other suggestions or ideas, please let me know. You can drop them in the drop box or email me or even IM me when I'm online.
[06/22/2010 - 21:43] Virtua1Poet: will do
[06/22/2010 - 21:43] livebythebone: Thanks! Have a good night!
[06/22/2010 - 21:43] Virtua1Poet: night!
