Chatter Box, Greeting Place and Narnia Discussion Thread 2 (Up-to-date Current Roleplayers and Rules/General Information in the third thread)

So wait. Are we going to do a kind of *One week later* deal so we can repair all the damage? Cuz that sounds like the best solution

((Double post for notification, cuz apparently life missed my post))

It crumbled. It's gone. As in no longer there.

Sure. Though the Casino should be rebuilt by now.

And I was just about to say a thing.

Yes, uH, the glitch rain keeps happening and it don't stop. It will constantly rain glitches in Nightnight City until GPI decides to clean it up or something.

Like Futurama and the "Doom Clone" thing, huh?

I was going to zap the raw materials to the ground so we could at least use them to rebuild. And I still have a few people trapped in a pocket of inverted space... and a bunch of you are falling to the ground...

"Skies Above Town" for new location?

Um, I guess? It would be there for like, five posts...

Why not just do a time jump?

Cause I still wanna show what's going to happen to Doc once his powerup runs out.

For reference, here's what I was in the middle of posting before I was interrupted:

Okay then! I'll make it~~~

Also, Nep would still be unconscious, FYI

Okay, can anyone explain how this was better then a timeskip?

Yes, right down to a bunch of them appearing at once causing a space-time rift. Not because of the doomedness of the clones though, but because of all the Jujus brought from different timelines that will instantly break.

Although I think I'll only have that part happen if we decide to add the mobsterswap characters into the roleplay. Which we might because now we're free to suggest new spots what with there being no immediate need for a certain character.

Cuz Shaula got to look awesome. GG. End of story

I just pretend DD was using Separtifice when he did that, it makes it slightly better.

Honestly, the last bit DIDN'T look awesome

At all

If we had done the timeskip we could all have imagined what kind of awesome showdown had happened

Now?

Now we know how anticlimatic it was

This sucks

... Well... Um... It looked cool in my head....

Wow OJ! What's your purroblem! It was a dumb arc, and shouldn't have happened in the furst place! I'm just glad it's over!

Wow. That came out a lot ruder than I intended :I

Anyway, outline of what just happened:

1. Doc zapped in but was late to the party thanks to Caliborn
2. Doc zapped everyone who was there (including the people in his space pocket) to the Excellent Toast (just one last egotistical nod)
3. Doc began to fade out of existence and become one with the Green Sun, but pulled a trick where he made his flare implode instead of explode, which saved him at the last minute
4. Doc is now falling from the sky

Things you need to know for the future:

Spoiler for OOC knowledge:

You gave it to Trace then took the action back. How about I have one of the doomed timeline characters carrying it, but then it falls into the space-time rift they create so it's not too easy to get?

AN ADVENTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's called a plot hook, geez.

And sure nP. I'd prefer to leave its exact location ambiguous; maybe it's in a treasure hoard somewhere, IDK.

Yes, but we can only do the adventure if we get the mobsterswap characters in here. I suggest you add them to the available characters list.

Yeah, that sounded a bit rude but I assume you didn't mean it like that.

That said: My problem is that it wouldn't have had to be this dumb and a silly ending would still have been better then an anticlimatic one.

Right now it feels like we started an awesome battle and then halfway through decided "Eh, I don't feel like it anymore" (which is basically kind of what happened but the story shouldn't show it that obviously...)

I mean, the main argument against the timeskip was that it wasn't awesome enough and felt anticlimatic, however, this felt even less awesome and even more anticlimatic to me...

Telefrag was Doc's Plan A. By my reckoning, nothing counts as a glitch in spacetime quite like trying to superimpose two objects upon each other in the same spot. The trouble was tricking him into teleporting and then trying to teleport something else into the same spot. Luckily, it seems Droog was able to handle the situation.

Plan B was to trick Caliborn into using Doc as a gateway to the Green Sun; this wouldn't kill Caliborn by a long shot, but it would have at least bought us much needed time to formulate a plan, or might have even stalled him indefinitely because Furthest Ring.

Well, there was also Plan -A, which involved straight-up brute-forcing the fight, which might have been doable, but IDK. I was gonna start throwing lava, but apparently Caliborn doesn't really care much about being taunted I guess.

You think I'm happy about this? I Blew up my character's SOUL for this battle, and then it just ends immediately after. But there isn't anything we can do about it now that it's over, the best we can do is use the aftermath to make a window into a new arc, which I'm planning on doing as soon as we can get the mobsterswap characters in here.
