The brains, they are storming (7/30/08)

Hello and welcome to the latest brainstorming post. No idea too big or too small.

Here's the last brainstorming post if you want to take a look at ideas and do more work with them.

One of the ideas that came up last time was the concept of having things that could be useful to someone else's plot without knowing if someone had a need to make use of them. So we'll have an OCD "plot spare parts" thread for anyone who'd like to use it. (An example of a "plot spare part" is here in the previous brainstorming post).

OCD is up! Storm away!

Plots, random events, whatever. Get the creative juices flowing here. Not dirty.

For things you need help with in terms of fine-tuning.

Not the kind Igor deals with. The kind you can use to make new plots.

They are the things which are the opposite of answers.

I AM NOT ENDING THE WORLD, DAMN IT.

Much though some of my co-workers tempt me to do so...

May as well post one of my own - Peter has the power to draw/paint the future now. So if anybody wanted to make use of a picture that showed a plot point for their character, he's available.

No world ending! Shark Week's not over yet!

A long time ago, someone (I think it was

psycho_jackass) suggested a plot where all the bad guys in the various 'verses turned out to be one entity.

It was a fantastic idea and went exactly nowhere, but I wonder if there's some way we could adapt and use it for BDE purposes.

Well then Peter should clearly be using these powers to find the winner of Project Runway.

And yes that does feel saying that from this account.

Last night, Mr. Eriksen opened Caritas (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/2995652.html) due to a 'whoops' moment.

What if, (since so many of us have more than one character) the wrong person 'felt compelled for inexplicable reasons' to open a business instead of the usual employee? For example, a Tuesday could have Murdock working at Turtle & Canary instead of G'Kar.

It could be a random week-long thing, to give an opportunity for more people to be involved and to allow more leeway to ensure things like classes aren't interfered with. Since we wouldn't want students (or teachers) missing their workshops.

Ooh, yes - that was the point of

gremlin_ops, just brainstorming for that idea.

The idea was sort of "KAOS has ties to COBRA has ties to Wolfram and Hart has ties to the Centre has ties to... " etc. Which crosses universes, but also includes a lot of canons that have multidimensional offices or travel abilities, so there's an easy explanation for that without bursting anybody's canon history.

I kinda love this. (A bodyswap plot with the same parameters could be fun too. It's been done several times on an individual level, but not gamewide that I can recall.)

Hmm. How about instead of swapping characters? Characters merge into one entity?

For people who only have one character they have the option of merging with other the characters of other muns?

A bodyswapping, oooh. That could be fun.

Murdock in G'Kar's body: "I'm an alien!" *beat* "That's soo cool! Hrm, I wonder if these spots are everywhere..."

Sort of a combination spare part and want ad - there'll be an opening for someone to take over the (Y)MCA in the later part of August, so if there's a current townie looking for a new or additional job, or a townie someone's thinking of applying to bring in, teacher applying to move to townie, etc., there's that.

o.O Your brain is squishy and delicious.

Totally wrong account, but hey, whatever. XD;

Viki's a teleportation specialist--with a canon habit of every now and again landing her and whomever she's transporting in the completely wrong spot. ^^ She's totally available if anyone needed a transportation mishap--she can even send people to the wrong spot, by accident, without having to go along with them.

That's because it tastes like apples and cinnamon.

G'Kar has a fake eye. A very advanced, highly sophisticated piece of technology that transmits images directly to his optic nerve.

Even if it's not in his head.

It can (and has been used canonically) to spy on either people. Could be useful for BDEs or random whatevers, even for dirty! purposes.

Cable has a habit of knowing more than he lets on. Or letting on that he knows more than he's supposed to. He also has a habit of using this knowledge by randomly disappearing and then setting a few things in motion behind the scenes.

So if you need a grand ol' manipulator to set something up (within reason; he is a Good Guy, if one of severely questionable ethics) he's available.

ETA: He's also a telepath and, well, questionable ethics, so if anyone needs something dug up from someone's skull...

I've long had the theory that Cobra Commander is Voldemort.

Or maybe something like a Freaky Friday where two people swap bodies, then have to go through the other person's day pretending to be that person?

Ha! You're welcome!

I . . . may have a way to use this in future. Just not sure how yet.

Rikku can upgrade weapons to do interesting things, like inflict poison with a hit or add fire/lightning damage. She can also upgrade armor to protect against those things. There's actually a detailed, complicated list of the various things she can add, and I'm willing to play around with other ideas, as well, since it's usually her taking items that can cause those effects and burning them into the weapon/armor. She loves playing around with upgrades, so if you need a weapon with a kick to it, lemme know.
