STUFF TO DO

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

Okay this only too me like WEEKS TO FINALLY TYPE UP BUT... I have been running around for weddings and other states and blaaah.

I've been talking with a few people, and I was wondering if the rest of the community would be interested in putting together a bestiary/monster book of all the different monsters that can be found around the City. It's something small, but some concrete, visible monsters may be useful. Perhaps your character is strolling through the forest/underground and sees some hideous creature that others should know about?

I don't know! The possibilities are endless. Look! I even have examples as to why this may be useful/potential for lulz!

So, say, Character A kills Monster 1 and drags a few trophy parts home, making notes in the bestiary of Monster 1's traits and weaknesses. Character B wants a few of those parts herself, so she goes down to the underground. What she actually kills is Monster 1-C, a subset type with entirely different weaknesses. This post ensues:

"CHARACTER A, YOU LIAR, THAT MONSTER WAS NOT WEAK TO FIRE. YOU KNOW WHAT I KNOW IS WEAK TO FIRE? YOUR PANTS."

Monster book entry post is here for all those who wish to submit a description of a monster ICly or OOCly.

Monsters can be original/unique to the Polychromatic universe. But they can also resemble monsters from other canon worlds. Guidelines to monsters better explained here!

The list will be, of course, incomplete, no matter how many are entered. But we're looking for a basic compilation rather than a ~complete~ list.

Got some other guild-related stuff, too, CONCERNING JOB LISTINGS. :|b

Mod-approoooved.

Can we make a mandate that all the entries in the monster book must end with "extremely dangerous; kill on sight"?



shut up I like that movie

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

lkajsdl I had to google that since I have not yet seen the movie - but it does sound awesome!

[prefers-chess.livejournal.com]

100% WORTH IT. EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

Also whee now I wish I had a character who would actually, like...go fight monsters. I must think on this, because this idea is AWESOME.

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

I WONDER IF IT'S IN THE DOLLAR THEATRES because I could go for that.

Honestly you could just have your character like...see one... go "AHHH!" and just note descriptions and such. No fighting necessary!

[prefers-chess.livejournal.com]

DO IT DO IT DO IT.

Actually...come to think of it, that gives me a really interesting idea.

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

Just to make sure Google told me right... It's the How to Train a Dragon movie, yes?

...OH HO. IDEAS ARE GOOD!

[prefers-chess.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes it is.

It'll take some finagling to set up, if I want to use it, but...heehee, that could get interesting. So Rosella's got this necklace that lets her teleport if she rubs the stone set in it. Trouble is, it's teleportation at random. And the spell canonically has a habit of dumping the people who use it in really, really inconvenient places.

...THERE IS POTENTIAL HERE.

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

...POOR ROSELLA. But that does sound quite fun to set up and play out!

Extremely dangerous; kill on sight.

[prefers-chess.livejournal.com]

Well.

They can try.

[thenormalsquint]

Ray Carling.

Extremely annoying; kill on sight.


:D

Stupid tart; kill on sight.

:P

Someone needs to go over to poly_crack and turn this into a meme.

[makesfolktalky.livejournal.com]

Best meme ever!

I'm feeling lazy right now, but if someone doesn't beat me to it I might stick something up in a bit.

[narnian]

OMG LOL SOB

TOOTHLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESS

[aimandfire.livejournal.com]

I cannot express properly the extent of my ADORATION for this movie.

HICCUP. TOOTHLESS. EVERYONE EXCEPT HICCUP'S DAD AND THAT CRAZY UGLY THING FROM THE END. AHHHHHH.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN EVERYONE EXCEPT HICCUP'S DAD


OKAY THAT'S IT WE ARE DONE PROFESSIONALLY

[aimandfire.livejournal.com]

...C-CAUSE HE DOESN'T DESERVE SUCH AN AWESOME SON? D8 I JUST FELT HE HADN'T REDEEMED HIMSELF ENOUGH SOB BUT IT'S JUST ONE MOVIE SO I SHOULDN'T EXPECT IT.

I just felt so bad for Hiccup who never really DID ANYTHING WRONG and got INSANE FLACK......for being essentially a nice fellow with a remarkable sense of humor.


DON'T LEAVE ME.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Okay, point. But for me, between the part where [spoilers!] ...that was enough for me. Especially given the ending.

I mean, I felt awful for Hiccup because of everything that happened, especially after the final match of dragon training, but I felt pretty bad for his dad, too, because I read it as his job as good leader kept coming into conflict with his job as good dad, and he wanted so bad to reconcile the two but he was just kind of really bad at figuring out how.


/SNEAKS BACK

[iseemore.livejournal.com]

WELLLL I MEAN TO EACH HIS OWN. I just, it wasn't enough for me. He was so terrible to Hiccup and I hold the worst grudges against characters when I feel they get okayed for acts they ought to do regardless of owing people stuff for previous bad behavior sob. t.t

/replies with a million journals too

[prefers-chess.livejournal.com]

OKAY AND LET'S BE HONEST THE GUY PUNCHED OUT A DRAGON THAT ABOUT DID IT RIGHT THERE. sob that was more than enough for me.

But of course to each their own! And I like hearing different perspectives on movies anyway, so: ♥

I have also kind of been stupid with RL but I have not forgotten about job listings! I put up a post but I've privated it so it doesn't bleed onto the friends list for now. I wasn't sure what you were looking for, but I just drew up a quick form for victims or people hiring BV could fill out and then specified that BV members putting in stuff run by them should just be described at will?

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've had that monster book post on private for like...three thousand weeks, hahaha. But look at us go, now!

Actually, that sounds really, really perfect!

[ageoftheg33k.livejournal.com]

I had half the listing form drawn up since you gave me a heads up and yesterday I figured maaaaybe I should finish and get it up and ready to boot. We're on a same wavelengthy roll \o/

Fantastic! I had been meaning to run by you the fact that soonish here, Hardison's going to be in a bit of trouble with the cops and the deities since he's been kind of stealing money from folk, also. I just need one more thing taken care of before I kick it off.

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, that's kind of hilarious. MAYBE WE DREW INSPIRATION AND MOTIVATION FROM EACH OTHER!

...I swear, there's a reason Yuri and Hardison get along. GO HARDISON GO, power to you and all that!

[ageoftheg33k.livejournal.com]

I am searching my room for the cameras you've clearly planted here. I WILL FIND THEM.


Ahahah for real though, Hardison can't live without some kind of morally messed up support system. We definitely need to explore this! If he can't have canon mates at least he'll make a new dysfunctional surrogate family in the City!

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

Hint: I am outside your window!

Yessss. They can commit crimes together or something, oh god. OR HELP EACH OTHER GET AWAY WITH THEM IDK. Oh man what is this friendship.

[ageoftheg33k.livejournal.com]

/moons the window

In Hardison's canon, he's pretty much one of five criminals that helps people who get lost outside the system.

He could totally get Yuri in on something like that in the City, esp since BV can be a front with the good deeds parts!! It is the best friendship ever, totally.

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

/SCREAMS

...Oh my god this could spell out destruction, hahaha. ESPECIALLY IF THE CRIME IS TO HELP THE LESSER-OFF, HE'D DO IT 8(

This friendship = partners in crime.

[ageoftheg33k.livejournal.com]

NYAH NYAH

YES YES I love it! Yes! Okay, for reference the job post is over here (http://ageoftheg33k.livejournal.com/5777.html), let me know if I should add/subtract or anything that needs changing.

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

...baby that looks beautiful. I love it in every way! alkdsjas

"CHARACTER A, YOU LIAR, THAT MONSTER WAS NOT WEAK TO FIRE. YOU KNOW WHAT I KNOW IS WEAK TO FIRE? YOUR PANTS."

Oh my god

This is amazing.

On so many levels.

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

Thank obliviomancy for that beautiful gem!

[narnian]

THIS. IS. THE BEST.

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, I'M GLAD YOU THINK SO!

[incendite.livejournal.com]

Oooh~ awesome. Now I just need to decide on what all Seifer's been fighting lately.

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

YAAAAY. Yeah coming up with the actual monsters is the hard part laksda

[incendite.livejournal.com]

Well, I could always say he's been not-quite T. Rexaurs. :|a

[emiltastic.livejournal.com]

....you can talk to the monsters and ask them about their traits and weaknesses too, you know :(

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

EMIL CAN PROBABLY FILL IN THE BLANK WITH SOME OF THESE MONSTERS O:
