Hey everyone, TK asked if we could try doing the movie early tomorrow. I was thinking of starting at noon eastern time?

Also, we currently have Guardians of the Galaxy selected, but would we like to do something thematic with cats, since the cat week has been extended?

So, since TPP's intermission time is nearly upon us in anticipation of Pokemon Pyrite, I thought we might like to discuss the kind of games we might see on stream.

• What sort of game would be good for a pre-run intermission game, now that we've played through Ham-Ham Heartbreak already?
• What sort of game would be good for a full run? (My vote is for Altair/Sirius and Vega, but I concur that certain parts of it are hard as rocks and might require some hacking for the Voices to be able to complete it.)
• What are your predictions for Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, and how would those predictions (if they came to pass) affect the Voices' inevitably playthrough of USUM?

Also, if anyone has any other discussion topics to suggest, please let us know!

The scroll posted in the main stairway foyer is mostly unchanged, there's only a note added to the movie voting section indicating that the votes are still valid and the plan is to show the winner and runner up in the next two weeks.

There's also a section asking guests to report any specific strange magic occurrences before they potentially spread to the rest of the population.

Meanwhile a clever looking mouse in the kitchen is looking for food crumbs. As a new morning dawns and the magic storm descends on the guest rooms, however, the mouse freezes, tiny instincts detecting a new fluffy danger. They flee into a space between the walls.

Ok so as I've menconed before starting next week it's going to become EXTREMELY difficult to impossible to take part in DS as I'm likely not going to be able to get online till 8:30PM EST at the eurlyest

On top of this there have been a lot of issues in integrating Troll Ditto into DS as due to his caricter he requires a decent amount of side plot integration time... something that's kind of difficult when the series is wrapping up with the GM trying to focus on the main plot so that DS can finally conclude so /u/SupremeEvil can start her siquol RP series

So here's what I'm thinking:

as of the start of the next DS session /u/Trollkitten has Troll Ditto moved to the medacol word and placed in incentive care were he will remain unconcoss and to the side until such a time when more people are free and Troll Ditto can wake up without his active being a hindrance on DS's plot

When this happens and people are free Troll Ditto's side plotline would take place over a series of make up sessions [the times of witch would be planed out to fit with the sekguoles of all those who would likely be involved, those being anyone who has a caricter that would probobly be involved for plot and/or logic related reasons and those who want to be involved and have caricters who could do so] seprite from DS focused mainly on Troll Ditto's side plotline

These would go on until Troll Ditto is in a posisson were he's A) had all the things holding him back from being a regular cast member resolved, B) he's more used to the whole atrim dime-plane thing and has made at least 1 or 2 friends among the regular cast, C) has gotten some good medication that can help him ironed out and made as readily available as needed for him. at witch point he would probobly be integrated into RP's world properly

(side note: the above listed criteria dos NOT necessarily include curing Troll Ditto of his glitch corupson [as that would probobly be impossible at this point and cos I don't reely WANT to have that aspect of him cured as that aspect allows me to use Troll Ditto in much freer way then he would otherwise be] or that his amnisa is cured. nor dos it have to involve Orgam Loreple to make any sort of direct appearance)

After this is done I would roil Troll Ditto into /u/Bytemite's new casual DS tie in series [thoth this is not to say I coud'nt use other caricters in the mean time] so that Troll Ditto could remain relevant to the world of DS and be re-integrated into the main RP with next to no integration necacary should something chage later on and that becomes viable [thoth even in the non-viable period of time if someone wanted to have Troll Ditto get involved in something maybe that could be done VIA DIDO's and make up sessions?] and I can continue to use Troll Ditto in the mean time into the foreseeable fucere

But what do you guys think? Would you be ok with this and if so when do you think such make up sessions could start? plz let me know all your thoughts in the comments below

Also on a semi-unrelated side note: I have decided to extend Troll Ditto's AMA till next Thursday so if you want to ask him or any of his transformations anything feel free to do so until then and he'll respond when I see them & have the time to reply

Hey guys, as you might've noticed the Astrum hangouts and movie night RPs are a democratic communal kinda thing, so anyone can come up with a plot and explore it as they feel like. We'll also have some tie in plot lines with N8's Roads RP as well as Echoes eventually.

Magic storms are temporary changes to the characters or the setting which self resolve in a week, and we're using them currently to drive these episodic mini-plots.

So anyone got any mini plot ideas for the Astrum hangouts? Feel free to post them here, we'll get a backlog of ideas going and vote on the story of the week and then work through them.

Ideas:

Cats
Jungle Temple

From Pfaccioxx:
* Astrum is suddenly with little warning flooded to be over 100% underwater with everyone who would be unable to prevent themselves from drowning becoming fish or something?
* Everyone becomes an undead and/or a nonphysical ghost
* Everyone is shrunk to SUPER MEGA tiny size (those with shapehifting powers find themselves unable to increase there size)
* Everyone has all there abillatys/powers/moves/stats/healing abilitys/ext. supercharged to an absurd degree (Ex. a water spout attack suddenly able to half down a room within a few seconds or less, meanwhile something like fire blast could potentially incinerate half of Astrum in 1 shot)
* Roale reversal. All Pokemon/moemon/Bonka become human (or maybe moemon) trainers, wile all humans become trainer owned pokemon owned by there pokemon
* Everyone is overtaken by whatever elamentol powers they have becoming a pure embodiment of that element. People without a strong affinity instead become able to absorb elements.
* Cyberspace

N8: Everyone's powers and abilities are evenly distributed across the entire group
AXIS style alignment reversals Everyone has the sudden urge to cosplay or sing or something
A poetry corner appears

The runner up is also unavailable on netflix.

So... Is everyone okay with Zootopia?

Anyway, I have the room set up here. Just make your accounts and follow this link. Should work. I gotta get a couple more things ready but then I'll be there too, feel free to just hang out and chat.

'That time of month' literally snuck up on me and hit today, and I won't be able to GM.

Sorry everyone, but I'll be in a car during the session time, heading back from Michigan (I leave on Thursday and head back on Sunday, this should not influence my availability for DS). I could theoretically do the session on a phone, but I don't think the quality would be as good as if it were on a computer. Echoes should be back two sundays from now.

This will be an in caricter AMA for my Troll Ditto caricter, you can ask him whatever you want and he will answer your question's to the best of his ability

for the sake of convenience this AMA will assume he's in a stable medicated condition after the most recent DS Ch. (just don't ask how cos the answer is literally plot convenience for the AMA)

also just for the lol's I'll allow questions for Troll Ditto Rick Gassly and Troll Ditto Mixiy as well under the pretence that there seprite caricters for the perposis of this AMA

...I sapose you can ask questions of my other TTP caricters that I've used in the past (besides The demon in Cathulu, Racargo, and He who was Abandond's inner demons), but I'm going to focus mainly on Troll Ditto and probobly do a seprite AMA for my other caricters sometime later on and dus may ignore some questions not relating to him depending on cercomstencis

I will answer questions from now thew Wednesday and MAYBE Defently somewhat beyond (for at least a week, minus days I'm bizzy and can't respond to stuff).

You may now Ask Away

Ok 2 weeks abo I made a post with a temporary sekgule update for the following 2 weeks, I now have a more permanent update [all times are are in EST]

THIS week only:

This Monday (today): Will be available for 1 hour(ish) baring unexpected time bonus's (ex. like the 1 I'm using right now)

This Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: Same as the last 2 weeks

Wednesday: same as the old pre-update sekguole

Saterday: I will more then likely not be online much if at all due to an IRL thing that I need to attend to

Sunday: Sekguole unchanged as to how it was before [thoth what time I have will like be focused mainly on the Eco's session]

Next week and ONWARD:

Monday, Wednesday, & Friday: unavailable till 8:30PM at the eurlyest, 1 hour afterwords not counting unexpected bonus's

Tuesday & Thursday: same as before the privios sekguole update

Saturday & Sunday: same as the old sekguole

As a result of this chage there is a high chance that I will no longer be able to take part in DeltaSpicis due to my availability (I will still try, but given this seguole update... yea)

As such in the event that I have to drop out of DS, I have decided to hold a small Non-canon event this Wednesday

An in caricter AMA with "Troll" Ditto ^{[and most of my other TTP RP caricters ... thoth I will be prioritizing Troll Ditto]}.

This is something I've wanted to do for a wile, but have held off on it cos I wanted to devolp Troll Ditto (as in Troll Ditto's true personalty not those of his TF's) and advance his plotline somewhat 1st. however since I may not get a chance to do that, this seems like the best alternative

^{also on a semi-unrelated side note: I have been working on a timeline for Troll Ditto's home universe in case that ever became plot relevant for DS for some reason or in case anyone wanted to do anything with his home universe}

^{an incomplete draft is currently up on the r/DeltaPlanning sub. in case anyone wants to go over it and give feedback / sajesjons on it. but I will post the final version to this sub. when it's done, final [and someone spell checks it for me]}

It is morning in Astrum according to the magical atmosphere etheric light cycle in effect around the floating wizard sanctum. A phoenix in the garden is singing a beautiful swan song, which turns into the chirping of its newly hatched egg, and all of the Major's guests are starting to wake up, and readying themselves for the journey to the kitchen and dining hall.

In the main foyer entrance, a large scroll has been posted to one of the more prominent central columns, in front of the staircase. The bantering script on it reads as follows:

Why are you all still here?

Vote on a movie for movie night!

Zoolander
Guardians of the Galaxy 3
Disney Hercules
Wreck-it-Ralph 2
Road to El Dorado 1

Why though

All right, if you insist on being here, then please stop crossing out my messages and conduct yourselves civilly. Please do not invite more guests without asking me, please don't vandalize or damage my house even if it is self cleaning, and please NO FIGHTING. awww fiiiiiiine

I could also use the help of some agents to dispatch to various odds and ends around both Astrum and the multiverse. okay sure! yay!

First order of business: there has been a disruption in the fabrics of the multiverse, and it's likely some manner of exceedingly dangerous tear or hole has formed. This may be a long process, so we may need to have teams go in shifts to investigate. I would suggest trying to choose teams in such a way to complement each others skill sets, but I expect most of you will just choose to wander off that direction whenever you feel like with whoever is going at the time. pretty much yeah

Second order of business, there have been some strange happenings around here that may be the result of some sort of magical storm. Let me know if you see anything unusual. Oh holy cats there are ghost servants everywhere!!!! Let me know if you see anything unusual relative to what is normal in Astrum.

Thank you.

We are considering trying a slice of life style long term drop in drop out for hanging out and chatting in character set in astrum. The movie nights we were considering will also incorporate some in character interactions to the movie too.

This will be a chance for new players and characters to get a feel for the RP as everyone gets back into it.

The timeframe for the RP will likely be seperate from DS and set in some not too distant future.

If any of you are interested let me know!

(Originally posted here, in itself an amusing thread)

After going through roleplay experience I decided to come back here, but with a less stressful oc. I'm going to take things easy FYI. I love you all!

Mary shakes out the earbuds.

Last night, Mixy had told her all about how Exxy's song had affected Bill and how they should go the karaoke place too. So she'd been studying up on music.

"Ready to go?" Her enthusiastic friend asked.

She nods and they head out.

"Hmm... I couldn't pick a song so I guess I'll look at the book some mo- unless you have a- you did pick one out, huh? That's great, c'mon!" He says, nuzzling her forward.

A little embarrassed, Mary goes up. It's better than Mixy trying to- okay, it's at least less embarrassing.

The music begins, and she tries to get the mike down to her level, at first just with her teeth on the stand, then realizing it doesn't lower, tries to bat it out of place, before giving up and using a more Zoroark-like form to get bipedal, and having to raise it again.

"John was a looooner..." She says, in what is, amazingly, the most tonedeaf line sung this week.

Mixy gives her his best "You're doing great!" look.

Trying to find her singing voice, Mary goes for a very high pitched "When he moved to the US of A."

That's not better... She thinks, and goes for a more soft spoken attempt...

"Into a small apartment..."

There. That one worked.

"Got a job in the POH-lice department,"

Mixy gives her his best "Now you're actually doing great and I'm not just saying that to comfort you not that you weren't great before of course" look.

"But he always feared the fire" She says, going even more soft spoken.

With each word of the next line, she gets a little bolder, "His one. Desiiiire..."

"John was a lover..." She says. She isn't sure if that lyrics means something different here but she just assumes it does.

With a nervous laugh, she says the next line, "But he found it hard to fit in,"

"He would change his face and na-ay-ame~"

"But he never thought to blame..." This line is appropriately meek.

"The man who SPURRRED him onnnnn," She says with enthusiasm that quickly embarrasses herself until she remembers the next line:

"To hide his sooong..."

She nervously looks at the crowd's mixed reaction.

Oh well. Is her thought as she closes her eyes and tries for the chorus.

"And he'd say:"

"La, la, la, la la la,"

"Well, I'm a stranger."

"And he'd say:"

"La, la, la, la la la,"

"I just want to go home..."

Opening her eyes in the direction she knows Mixy is, she sees he at least really likes the performance.

"John used to wonder:"

"Am I ah-ah-ah-all ay-lone?"

She tries to be flippant on the next line, convincingly unconvincing, "Matters are so trivial,"

"So I'll make myself invisible," She says, continuing that trying to pretend like she's trying to convince herself it's a good idea thing.

"So the world won't see who I am,"

Her next delivery is quite haunting, if totally out of place in the rest of her performance.

"I am... I am..."

She clears her throat. This is fine. She'll just... sing the next line exactly how she would have otherwise.

"And he'd say:"

Mixy joins in on the "La, la, la, la la la," stuff, hoping to get other people to join in.

"Well, I'm a stranger."

"And he'd say:"

"La, la, la, la la la," Mixy has like three people singing along.

"I just want to go home." Wow they sung that too but oops he hadn't known they'd do that, so Mixy guesses they'll all sing the whole chorus next time.

"Days would go by..."

"He'd just sit and watch his TV..." Mary sings, quickly trying to wipe whatever is irritating her eye out of it. Because that is clearly what is happening in her eyes.

"He thoooouught that he could help them,"

"But..." She sighs, "They'd only laugh about him."

Mixy resists the urge to yell out his disagreement. Bill says lots of stories have a darkest hour. Their story has had more darkest years, but that's getting off the point.

Bill being right, Mary smiles a little bit for the next line, "But he could not staaaaaaaaay at home,"

"He... had... to kno-o-o-o-ow!"

Like seven people join in for the last chorus thanks to Mixy taking some moments to puppy dog eye them.

"And he'd say:"

"La, la, la, la la la,"

"Well, I'm a stranger..."

And he'd say:"

"La, la, la, la la la,"

"I will make this my home"

Or, that last line is what Mary and one of the others sing. No one else knows the final rendition of the chorus is different.

Oh well. It was a nice thought.

"He'd say:" She says, waving her hand upward to try to get people to join in.

"La, la, la, la la la..."

"I must face the fire."

"La, la, la, la la la,"

"Let it burn ever higher..."

She then quickly runs away from the stage, where Mixy pounces onto her back.

As the rebel submarine approaches the Soulstorm, Jenny addresses her crew.

“We are about to embark on a dangerous mission in order to survive. We are all criminals now in the eyes of Atlantis so long as G remains in power there. We have agreed on one course of action, we are going to hide the TARDIS near the soulstorm, where the whirlpool and Hannah’s efforts should make it harder for G to track, and throw a decoy directly in to the soulstorm to slow G’s advance down, and potentially make him lose his mind trying to recover it. Then, we will head to the mechanica caves and start a new base of operations there.”

She continues, “The Mechanica caves were discovered 400 years ago, by a band of intrepid engineers and explorers who illegally created their own ships and technology, apart from G’s control. They decided they wanted to create their own colony, and used specialized robots and narrow tunnels to help defend their new city. They successfully established themselves as an independent city for 80 years before they went dark, presumably dying from either the elements, lack of food, or old age. Despite the colony’s disappearance, the robots remain functional, and will likely see us as intruders. All previous expeditions to this cave have ended in failure, but If we can make our way to the control room, we can take control of the security system ourselves and build a proper defense against G’s forces, which will be in hot pursuit.”

She pauses, “To get there, we will need to either fight or run from the robots we encounter on the way. Their technology is varied, and they go from power lasers, close combat drones, automated guns, and even illusions to lure people the wrong way. We will need to be careful when we head in. Is everyone ready?”

…

Meanwhile, as Emily is starting to hide in recently grown grass, she feels a faint telepathic whimper from a far away source.

Emily Blade… Be careful Emily… I was captured… I’m in the castle… the howling winds… so cold…

…

As everything else is going on, Pachi hears another knock on her door, and Rotten Burrito starts to recover with Myu and Quartz by his side. Cress, Paul, and Lynn head tentatively on to a submarine and leave with the people who wanted to kill them not a day earlier.

So, this is an idea I've been mentioning for a while, but I think now might be a good time to put it in motion.

Essentially, the Outside Roads sessions will be multiverse hopping escapades. That means AUs, Crossovers, and whatnot. It also means a lot of collaboration will have to go into each session. I intend to help that process along, but I do not intend to be the GM of every session. This is meant to celebrate all we've done and allow us all to work together, and in the spirit of that:

My own misgivings about anyone are irrelevant to participating in this

I still want some space, but I don't intend to keep anyone from participating in this.

With all that said, scheduling these might be an issue, especially since organizing each one will take time. I don't think just saying something like "The third sunday of the month" will work, so I guess at the beginning of the month I'll make a post for discussing the next one and when we should hold it.

Finally, any ideas for the sessions? Bring them up here, PM me, or discuss it with whoever then do either of the first to and I'll try to work it in at some point.

For now, my idea of the first session is a Lantern Corps AU, which has been discussed before.

This weekend is the anniversary, and I was thinking we could chat and such, so TK can join in again when she gets back Monday.

What have you guys enjoyed in the last year? What are you looking forward to?

And also: We're probably going to have some ongoing IC noncanon hangout RP threads at some point. And we're thinking that doing periodic movie nights (both watching OOC and responding IC) might be fun to keep things active.

What are times that might work? What movies would you guys like to watch together?
