Time	Event
10:55a	Aren't you tired of banners? (We are too.) Ever wanted to play a superhero without having to be an X-Man? Love science-fiction without the spaceships? Interested in being a part of world building? Want to play a character of your own making? We Float is set on an alternate Earth in the year 2096. In 1946, a virus was released on earth that changed everything. The Wild Card virus created Earth's first metahumans, giving superpowers to aces, and deformities to jokers. At first, aces were revered and jokers were hated. Both sides were seen as property – useful for the public good, or useful to beat up. No one thought long-term about what they meant to the world; everyone thought that the first generation would die and take their mutations with them. But the wild card didn’t die out. Instead, they’ve been increasing, ever more of the population, ever more present. Ever more useful, to those who think that way. Technology hasn’t caught up to the gifts that the wild card can give, yet. That’s the new arms race: to make your own wild cards, rather than wait for them to be born. Both the government and free science – if science can be said to be free in an age of corporate control – want that power. Both are on the brink of achieving it.

11:48a	I am looking for a partner to do this on AIM. AIM: DubangoElite I would play the male in the following role. Susan Dunstan is a new teacher at such and such a High School. She's a feminist, brilliant, strict, and really doesn't take any bullshit from anybody. Within only a few years, she already has seniority to teach whatever classes she likes, and is the head of the English department. Her colleagues say that within another few years Susan will knock the current principal out of his spot, and run the school. In addition to not wanting to lose his job, the Principal (Named, say, Robert), really isn't fond of Susan. He's privately a bit of an old-fashioned type, in that the woman should be in the home. Before he got to his current position, he was a science and Psychology teacher, and extremely good in his field--Robert has an enormous amount of talent, drive, and, indeed, patience. After some rumination, he comes up with a brilliant idea: Mental manipulation. Personality Reprogramming. Brainwashing. He doesn't like who Susan is, and he's going to change that. Use whatever means necessary-- drugs, conditioning, manipulation--anything to mold the teacher into his view of a woman. And she will never, ever be the same. Okies! To start with, I'm aware that this isn't completely scientific and brainwashing requires blah blah blah. Quite honestly, if you were looking for strict realism, you probably wouldn't be here, hmm? It's true that this isn't accurate, but, in my opinion, it makes for a more engaging storyline. What I'm looking for, in this case, is a complete change: Appearance, personality, memories, name, voice, everything. If the Susan of before and after were to meet in some timey-wimey situation, they'd be absolutely nothing alike. At all. Some ideas for 'steps' to take, now! Secretary. Every good principal could use one of these, hmm? And if it's somebody as dastardly and perverted as Robert, well, who knows what could happen with that. Probably something smexy. Wife: This is the big one. Imagine a hypersexualized version of the stereotypical version of a 1950s-era housewife. June Cleaver on some serious aphrodisiacs. It could be a lot of fun as the end product, I think. Pregnancy/Weight Gain: Not only are these one of the few times I might be interested in these things, but I think it could be really awesome. Just a more 'womanly' figure, really. Barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen. Fiction/Historical: What funner way to break down somebody's sanity? Let's just imagine what Susan would be like as a Bond Girl. Or maybe singing in some seedy nightclub, or as Princess Leia. Perhaps going further back, even, and giving her the impression she's a Victorian-age lady, or a French Aristocrat, a princess, or Cleopatra. Possibilities are endless. I'm totally up for ideas, though. Oh--and, of course, the names are just placeholders. As per usual!
11:54a	Welcome to the end of what you knew, and the beginning of the new world order. We're The Collective, and we'll be your travel guide to the apocalypse. The world is in trouble. Technically, it's been in trouble, and for quite some time now. People are just starting to catch on to the fact that things are screwed. The whole place, it's never going to be the same, and the majority of the earth's population? They're all scrambling, boo-hooing about how no one knew, and they're just now dealing with this shit. Well, we knew. We've always known. And while everyone else is busy running around like chickens who've just got slaughtered but don't know it yet--we're doing something about it. We've always been doing something about it. We're that organization that conspiracy theorists knew was there but never had the name right on. We are not your government. We are those people who show up, take control of a situation, and learn all we can from it. We're not the men in black, but we're damn close. We are The Collective. And we know what everyone else told you was bullshit. We know the truth, and we're here to save your ass, even if you're too busy playing catch up to do it yourselves. You might not like our methods, but someone's got to quell the tide, and no one else is stepping up. We are sending ARC units your way. Archive Research and Containment. Try to stay out of our way. ♦Looking specifically for members of The Collective! Looking for ARC unit operatives! Also, we're searching for residents of developing areas of the game, including Manhattan, Manchester and Colorado. All types currently available and wanted!
