Mood Crystals

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

You know what we haven't had in a while? A mood-altering plot inspired by 1970's fads and influenced in part by Care Bears.

"But Nick," you say, "We've NEVER had a plot like that. Also, what the hell are you talking about?"

Oh. Well, there's no need to be rude about it. Because I'm just talking about mood crystals. What if the crystals in mood rings came from space and instead of changing colors based on your body temperature (which approximates your 'mood'), it changed your mood based on its color? And what if a large crystal fell from space, landed in the park, and shattered in an explosion of what I'm just going to call "mood magic." And even though it makes no physical sense whatsoever, small shards of these crystals mood-magically went flying into the stomachs of people all around Fandom and influenced their moods for four days?

That would be pretty weird, yeah? Well, it's also a thing that's happening. From Wednesday, May 21 through Saturday, May 24, these mood crystals will be affecting Fandomites (provided they sign up in the OCD below).

The crystals will be able to dictate four somewhat loosely-defined "moods" based on their colors, one color per each day (and no repeats!):

*Violet: Happy, loving, romantic, passionate

*Blue: Calm, relaxed, at ease

*Gray: Nervous, anxious

*Black: Angry, stressed, tense

How exactly your character will play with those general moods is up to you! With violet, are they just super chipper or are they ready for makeouts? If it's black, are they getting a headache or throwing punches? Do they try drinking all of the tea to calm their gray anxiousness? Do they keep napping because they're a little too in the blue? You decide!

(Please keep regular rules about public violence and/or adult situations in mind.)

The crystal on your character's stomach won't be huge, maybe an inch long by a half inch wide and just barely raised over the surface of the skin. They cannot be removed until overnight on Saturday when the magic runs out and they fall off, colorless and without any magic left. The glowing will be obvious if the stomach is exposed, but it will probably completely hidden if it's under clothes.

In game terms, which day each mood falls on is random per person. OOCly, you can either plan out your days on your own, or you can have me RNG what happens what day for your character. Maybe you want two people to get into an irrational fight, or maybe you want an excuse for a hookup. Coordinate as much as you want and let me know!

Questions? Concerns? Signups? Perhaps some brainstorming?

What is the answer to this question?

Re: Questions?

[furnaceface]

Probably a silly question, but I have a certain technical difficulty with the stomach thing. Is there somewhere else we can stick that thing, for this one?

Jono is the worst Care Bear.

How did I miss this?

OK, real question -- if an empath happened to be on the island at the time, could she sense the emotions were being caused by the stones?

Sign Up

Have any specific things you want to do on specific days? Want a place to figure that out? Feel free to use this thread!

I swear I came up with and submitted this plot before I apped Flash, but hey, now that I'm here...

When Flash gets his angry day, I think that'll be a good time to let the symbiote take over for a post or so. Anyone who wants a shot at a crazy alien parasite (especially if they have fire or sonic abilities) will be welcome for a fight. Let me know if anyone wants that kind of brawl!

OOC

OOC to the OOC post. Layers upon layers, my friends.

Also, I'm distracted by SHIELD tonight, which is why the OCD has gaps.

I just feel you might be amused to know my husband runs an RPG called Care Bears: Call of Cthulhu, where you play 3rd string Care Bears (like Medical Malpractice Bear and Explodey Bear above) up against a horror from beyond the stars.

Puns make your attacks stronger. I feel you and MP would be good at this game.
