Brainstorming brainstorming brainstorming!

[brat_inslayage]

Yep, it's that time again. No, not the one where we go "holy crap, how is the month half over already?"

Okay, it might be that one too. But it's also brainstorming-post time. Don't forget, all previous ideas are available for you to look over too.

Watch me not even try to one-up willbedone on coming up with a cohesive witty theme for this post.

Mr. Winkles is totally NOT BEST PLEASED by someone other than him using Zack to destroy the world. IT IS ON!

...I will stop talking for other people's NPC pets now.

The other groups, especially the researchers/totally normals will at least have a larger pool to draw from when it comes to saving the day. If it does come down to one 'group' to do it (and I'm certainly not trying to say that's the only way it has to play out, not at all), my preference is to let it be the group that has the most people in it, so that more people are involved.

But again, there's no reason it has to default to that, especially if other folks come up with brilliant ideas otherwise.

As for the Ino thing, I don't think it would be as simple as someone coming up and telling her that? More a traitorous little voice in the back of her mind, one that sounds eminently reasonable. I don't think anyone would fall for someone bumping into to them at the Perk, say, and just mentioning that for kicks.

That being said, I'm mentioning that more for clarification, NOT because I'm married to the idea of it happening. This is still in the vague, planning stages, so for all we know, maybe it'll end up that there are flowers blooming that make everyone more liable to just chill out and relax, a la Lotus Eaters, you know?

Yei would think it is the BEST ADVENTURE EVER. And Kusanagi would go along in the hopes of getting to eat SOMETHING that wasn't a dead mouse someone gave him.

I see your points, I do, though I also counter with the fact that the normals/researchers far more frequently have hand in saving the day and would it really be so bad to do plots where smaller groups of people are instrumental in beginning the saving the day part: for this plot, for all we know, the telepaths could wake up first and then have to wake up other people and those other people are the ones who get rid of the evil because the telepaths are busy keeping people from falling asleep again, you know?

But I'm just rambling as well, SO.

...I will have a cogent response once I stop being mesmerized by your icon.

Please hold.

Though Genesis isn't best pleased about the sweater around his waist. That's not really his style, no...

At least it's not wrapped around his shoulders? I'm pretty sure yuppie!Genesis is an abomination unto the everything.

I do like the idea of the telepaths having to keep everyone grounded/shielded/not ensnared again. (Trufax, I don't think I've used the word ensnared this much in...ever). It gives them a chance to be awesome, while not denying anyone else a chance.

Of course, now I'm picturing this three-pronged approach: Big Bad sends out flowers to weaken everyone's will and then follows it up with a mental attack. Telepaths wake everyone (or mostly everyone) back up and have to fight off his/her/its influence while researchers look up/get rid of the flowers and fighters have to take down the Big Bad his/her/itself.

That fight gets extra fun if some folks volunteer to not get woken up, so people will be fighting classmates intent on protecting the Big Bad with their lives if need be.

...I should stop coming up with things in the time it takes to boil ramen.

No, no you shouldn't. I want to draw hearts around this idea even if it means the pets saving the day has to be used for a different plot zomg.

And yuppie!Genesis would make me cry. Soooo not him.

Re: General Ideas

Hee, actually what I meant was I should stop typing them up and posting without giving myself any time to look it over and decide whether or not my ideas are rational/make sense/aren't utterly stupid.

My current MO is: *frantic typetypetype. Disclaimer at end. Panic everything is stupid. Get another idea! Frantic typetypetype. Another disclaimer and MOAR PANIC.*
