Brainstorming!

Some role players had ideas that did form
But being unable to share them was norm'
The RPers did say
Let us make a day
Where we gather so we can brainstorm!

Re: Specific ideas

This is a tiny bit bigdamndestiny's fault, and I am putting it here to be prodded at.

In Buffy canon, there's a spell Tara does to make demons invisible (long story). Of course it backfires and leads to an invisible demon attack. I'd like to have something like that happen on the island, albeit without demons -- my tentative thought was that maybe she could be trying to show Magic Reserves how to quickly vanish magical supplies, and end up making all the magical *people* invisible until a counter spell could be done.

We could also go for invisible demons, but a)Tara would need a pretty specific initiative to do the spell that way, since it was dumb to start with in canon and b)I like the idea of a bunch of residents suddenly vanishing and needing to work out what happened.

Like I said, tentative plan, very much open for prodding.

Re: the spell, I just had the half-formed idea of a sort of mashup between that and "Same Time, Same Place." Which I have admittedly not watched in a very long time because it grossed me out so I may be misremembering details there.

Re: Specific ideas

... that's one I haven't rewatched since it aired, I'm afraid. (It *was* gross.) But I like the basic concept that maybe the invisible people don't know they're invisible.

Emotional states lead to invisibility a couple times in the Buffyverse. (Which doesn't necessarily follow from my idea, I'm just saying.)

I think I attempted to rewatch it once and stopped, because ew. But yeah, I think the idea of not realizing they're invisible would be fun.

Which I have to say wasn't the part I was thinking about, since I was actually leaning towards the emotional states thing, in some half-formed way feeding off of, maybe, Tara being self-conscious about doing a demonstration in front of everyone or something like that? I haven't had enough caffeine to be coherent.

No, no, it's good. Tara's self-conscious (because ... Tara), the "make the spellbook invisible so an unsympathetic authority figure doesn't catch you" spell turns into a "make everything magic invisible, witches included" spell, and it's catching so everybody goes invisible for a day or so and doesn't know it at first.

I like it a lot. In that how-soon-can-we-try-it way.

Hee. Oh I like this so so much. :D

Inviso-demons would render half my characters invisible. ;) It would also out Raven, not that that particularly bothers me at this point. Girl needs to get out of the closet at some point.

The Reserves vanishing could be fun, too. :)

Re: Specific ideas

[life_inshadow]

Hee, I'm leaning toward inviso-reserves because it'd open this up to more people. And yes, Raven needs to come out! (And now I'm imagining a tremendously awkward conversation with Tara on that subject...)

Re: Specific ideas

[trigons_child]

Well, if Tara's girlfriend would GET OFF HER ASS and work with me about Raven accidentally exposing herself (not dirty) to her....

Re: Specific ideas

[brat_inslayage]

Gah, we need to discuss that whole thing sometime soon, huh? Now that I am no longer distracted by plottiness left and right.

Re: Specific ideas

[trigons_child]

Yesssssssss.

How about what I mentioned about the BDE? Raven freaking out on Kennedy?

Re: Specific ideas

[brat_inslayage]

I'mma go poke you in email now.

Still not dirty.

Re: Specific ideas

[trigons_child]

No, not dirty, because your girlfriend would turn me into a newt and my boyfriend would tell you to go jump in a lake and you would.
