Why, no, I'm NOT dead. Just... not really able to come up with some good topics very often.
Anyways. For those of you that remember way-back-when, I posted a topic on how I was going to make my character a 'Cubi in a RP I participated in. I figured you might like a report on how he's doing.
He:
has gotten his tentacles, although he hasn't really been able to use them in battle yet;
can now blow things up with his mind and an angry glare, including a gun and the hand that it was being held by;
got rocketed through 200 feet of intense radiation and through a train window for about twice his max HP;
managed to blast himself into a wall via non-careful combination of light and dark;
had a hand in defeating a bat-bahookie insane dictator;
nearly had a massive nervous breakdown and had to take a day off;
and has had the highest death count of all the party members since the game began.
So yeah. We have fun.

Good to hear you're having fun - that's what RP's are all about.
I was gonna ask how he survived these:

Until I read this:

About how many times
has he died?
QuoteAbout how many times has he died?
About seven or eight times during this first story arc, if I recall. This happened to be one of the factors in his nervous breakdown; wouldn't YOU be a little mentally fragile if you had to die and revive that many times in the space of a month or so? :mowwink
In any case, right now we're taking on a long-buried army of undead, robots, and undead robots. It's about eight versus forty and the forty DO NOT STAND A CHANCE. Fear us.
... You're in the 40, right? ;-]
Quote... You're in the 40, right? ;-]
...No. And snarkage like that is my job, thank you very much. ("Congratulations on releasing that trap. Don't you EVER watch movies?")
DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY, SOLDIER!
Twenty what?
The implication seems to be push ups
What would you like me to push? ;-]
My patience just a little farther, maggot, so I can send you home in a bodybag! >:3
Quote from: superluser on November 14, 2008, 03:37:05 PM
Your UPS, apparently.
It didn't move. Perhaps I should find a lighter one?
If we're descending to that level, I might point out that llearch is a FedEx box, isn't he? So no UPS for him.
I prefer not to get indented.

When you asked llearch to do push-ups.
Ah, right.
We're about to continue the battle, so I'll fill you in once we finish this bit. In the meantime, you just... do your things that I don't know.
Highlights from the 8 vs. 40 battle:
"It's the End of the World As We Know It" coming on as we start;
said music being switched to "Ghostbusters";
getting trampled over in a group charge on the army's part;
punches that happen to be ON FIRE;
exploding zombie robots;
skeletons being swung around like maces;
the music being changed AGAIN, this time to Elite Beat Agent's "Jumpin' Jack Flash" cover;
total dice failure on our part;
and the battle being won with a punch. TO THE FACE. *dramatic chord*
Oh, and one of our party members going to 0 HP within the round he joined in. All aboard the fail-train...
EDIT: MEDIOCRE UPDATE IS MEDIOCRE
He also has his clan marking now. Luckily, nobody happens to know what it means in this universe, or otherwise he would be tagged as a mass-murdering psycho and then the various ropes and rocks would be trotted out. Lynch mobs can really ruin your day, y'know.
Oh, and he still hasn't found about his average lifespan. Hope he enjoys doing this job for about 3 millenia. >:3
hehehe.
Of course, if he learns that stealing souls will increase his lifespan, how will that affect his outlook? ;-]
QuoteOf course, if he learns that stealing souls will increase his lifespan, how will that affect his outlook? ;-]
Probably not TOO much, considering that he doesn't have that power yet. I wouldn't put it past him, though, considering that having to rack up body counts for everything from saving the world to getting a sandwich is part of the job. It would be quite easy to have a steady supply, so...
Also, might I add that even though nobody happens to know what species he is, he is getting VERY sick and tired of being called a "space alien" and having various vulgar jokes made about his wing tentacles. "Dammit, people, quit referring to that. If I DO use these tentacles for that purpose, it's going to be with my girlfriend and you better believe it'll be with FULL CONSENT. Idiots."
...Aaaaaanyways. That ends this post for now. Keep feeling free to ask about stuff, though. I like it.

It's something he has to learn how to do. At one point, Amber grouped some of the things a 'Cubi can do into 'innate abilities' and 'magic'. Thought-reading and shapeshifting are innate abilities - soul-stealing was classed as magic, so I imagine it's probably a spell that most Creatures can cast if they know how.
Quotehe is getting VERY sick and tired of being called a "space alien" and having various vulgar jokes made about his wing tentacles.
A less understanding 'Cubi might demonstrate the other uses for tentacles, such as slicing through armour or crushing things. I imagine cleaning up the mess afterwards would be a pain, though.

Body parts sandwiches? :mwaha
Apologies for the slightly late reply. Power blipped out for a while.
QuoteA less understanding 'Cubi might demonstrate the other uses for tentacles, such as slicing through armour or crushing things. *snip*
Luckily, nobody's gotten him THAT mad yet. Mostly he just brushes said remark off with a snide reply and moves on, although there's no telling what can happen if someone pushes him to his limit. :evil
Quote*snip* Thought-reading and shapeshifting are innate abilities *snip*
Well... I don't have those yet, considering that I still have to actually pay for them in EXP and all. I'm using the "our magic is different" handwave, so if it bugs you, just think happy thoughts for a while.
QuoteBody parts sandwiches?
Heh... nah. The most evil thing he's done so far is grab a fellow party member with the intent of dunking him while we were on a boat after said person repeatedly screwed around and created the horde of undead we had to fight. This was terminated quickly by a bullet zipping two inches away from his ear.
Guys, guys, guys.
The moral of this story should be to never ask Llearch anything that can be potentially misused as a double-entendre.
Which means you should never ask Llearch anything, ever.

I approve of Cubis in RPs, though.

My, you're getting PHYSICAL!
It's almost none of the above; it's on IRC. Specifically, it's on Sorcerynet, channel #supersmashrpg . We try to do sessions every other day, which means another possible one on Friday, but you're welcome to join in and talk OOCly. We love possible members.
Oh, and time for the newest report.
Highlights from this latest session:
Unwittingly aiding a world-ending madman;
My character getting his clan symbol and attempting to figure out who "tattooed" him in the middle of the night;
showing the "heart of gold" in "Jerk with a..."
apparently gaining his symbol by managing to brush against an alternate universe while using one of his teleportation moves;
nearly blowing himself up with improper mixing of light and dark yet AGAIN;
being at ground zero of explosive materials and portalling himself to safety;
kicking the gun out of the hands of above nutcase;
fighting with said nutcase on an exploding tower;
horrible dice luck that I still think is rigged, I don't care WHO says it isn't...
said horrible diceluck causing the bad guy to plummet off of a long, blown-up catwalk;
JOANNA FREAKING DARK showing up in a copter to save our cans;
two party members being taken as hostages;
Deloth (my character) steadfastly refusing to angst about inadvertantly causing a disaster until it's fixed;
and the mission ending with him casually taking a seat and suturing wounds.
About which time are the sessions?
Now, is this using any particular system, like GURPS, or whatnot?
Quick question:
Does the GM know all about DMFA, yet? If I recall correctly, the GM did not, so interlopers might have to watch what they say.
If it's an IRC thing...I'm guessing none of it is recorded? :<

I'm guessing that would depend on the people in the channel. It's not all that hard to record IRC conversations, but for the most part you have to want to.
Late reply is--ah, you know.
Okay, Q&A time:
QuoteAbout which time are the sessions?
About... 8-9 PM or so EST. Sorry I forgot to mention that in the midst of various schoolwork woes. OOC talk on non-session days tends to be pretty lively then, so if you want to hop in, that'd be a good time.
QuoteNow, is this using any particular system, like GURPS, or whatnot?
Homebrew, I believe. Don't worry, the GM'll lay out the rules for you and you can get the hang of it in no time. It's rather easy to learn.
QuoteDoes the GM know all about DMFA, yet? If I recall correctly, the GM did not, so interlopers might have to watch what they say.
Oh, I've given him the opportunity to learn. Posted several pages as info sources, made offhand references to it, and brought it up in OOC chat. He's never said anything negative, so I figure I'm rather in the clear and that the grace period for "sorry, you can't do this, try thinking of another concept, please" is waaaaay over by now. I can't exactly FORCE him to do anything, so I figure I've done all I can do. :3
Again, sorry for the late-ish reply. My schedule can be messy sometimes.
Late reply is better than no reply. And I'll have to stop by the channel at some point when I get the chance. Sounds like fun.
Oh, and I almost forgot.
The madman that we're fighting this time around?
Alec Trevelyan. As in the guy from Goldeneye that James Bond shoved off of a satellite. And he nearly managed to kill us, got away with two hostages, and managed to survive having a sword stabbed through his chest because he was wearing a flak jacket.
Don't you hate it when that happens?
Of course he survived the sword.
We all know the pen is mightier than the sword, don't we? ;-]

QuoteWe all know the pen is mightier than the sword, don't we? ;-]
Are you suggesting that I try to go all Joker-like on him next time? Y'know, attempt a death by ink poisoning?
If so... well, uh, I'll let you know how that works out next session. It DOES have precedent, we've killed people with pens before. Specifically, we killed our old last storyline... or the consciousness of it... or something. I still don't really understand the ending of that last season.
...yeah mediocre update is still mediocre. *slinks off*
Well, there were Russian assassination weapons that used devices disguised as pens to shoot poison gas or pellets. And I believe that there also pens that fired .22 calibre bullets. These are just the real devices, and there have been a much wider variety in the movies.
There were also pencils that were really time fuzes for explosives.
However, I don't think that poison ink would work that well. You would do better soaking the paper in a contact poison.
Engineers tend to look at everything logically.
QuoteEngineers tend to look at everything logically.
No offense, but in a world that has had, in the past.... *DEEEEEEEEP breath... get ready...*
hypno-couches, shapeshifting ghosts, space cannons, volcanic eruptions, exploding paper, car crashes, banks, car crashes IN banks, coffee that makes Larxene from Ansem Retort look like a piker, gender-swapping candy, rings that set your hair on fire, having to gather something like 30 pieces of a circuit board and patch them together while spaceships attack us, robots with giant knives instead of arms, Domino's Pizza, grappling chains, giant mechas, exploding Pokemon, alternate personalities, guns, guns that have easily explodable parts (sensing a trend?), teleportation, and possessed shirts...
Call me crazy, but logic may not be the best avenue in SSQ. Just saying. :mowsmile

QuoteIsn't it Goldeneye that has that pen that you click three times and it goes boom?
I dunno, but I doubt that'd work. We've already tried blowing him up with a briefcase bomb (which happened to be the explosives mentioned earlier) and he survived. Considering that Alec's the final boss in the Goldeneye video game that can take multiple shots to the head and respond with automatic rifle fire, I sort of doubt that'd work.
Besides, he's vanished. And he'll shoot on sight and kill hostages if we try anything sneaky, so I double-doubt it'd work.
Nice try, though. I like your way of thinking. >:3

Yes, but neither the pen NOR the sword killed him. As such, then both would seem to be on equal footing and we must conduct further testing.

Incidentally, as of this writing, we're probably going to have a session in about a half-hour. If you want to drop in and watch, remember:
IRC network is Sorcerynet. Connect and join #supersmashrpg to get in.
See you there? :)
First: my apologies for the double post.
Second: None of you showed up for our 3-hour marathon session. I am a very unhappy person at this turn of events.
Third: the report.
Trevor(yan) getting unceremoniously disintegrated by a crazy man on OUR side and his instant-kill staff;
one of the party members getting a Franklin Badge from the Earthbound/Mother series;
the dice rolling six 2s in a row;
A Duplighost making an appearance from Paper Mario;
statues revealing more statues;
Deloth doing something really stupid and being right;
"I claim this land... for SPAIN!";
unlocking a giant know-where-the-thing-you-want-is machine;
said machine not answering where Del's girlfriend is now. The mystery continues.

Slightly interesting update is no longer in caps because that's rather annoying.
Anyways. I managed to buy Del's shapeshifting today, so now he'll have it for the future. Because shapeshifting is FUN.
I also have to admit: I bought it first mostly because I had come up with a really cruel and yet hilarious introduction for it. I don't plan on revealing it until I actually play it out, but that'll be something to look forwards too, eh?
Once again, if a session happens to come up this weekend, I'll let you know. Oh, and seriously, don't kill me. Please?

Cool. I look forwards to reading them.
And what are you MSTing?
As far as I know, IRC channels don't normally log chats, individual users might if they want to save a copy.
Yeah, but people running an RP will tend to run a bot that logs.
eg, I run a bot on my IRC channel and server that logs all traffic, so if they'd been using my server, I'd have been able to post the logs on an automatic basis.
But I digress.

Sorry, no links, as they haven't been uploaded to a website yet. I may revive my old Geocities page from the ashes and slap them on there, though, so I'll give you that link as soon as possible.
As for the current ones, I'm doing two:
"The Eye of Argon" with a friend over IRC, and... *DUN DUN DUUUUUN*
"Blood and Metal". Which has to be the only fic so far that has literally caused me physical pain to read. It's about 3/4 of the way done,
and I will be very, very, VERY happy to see it die.

Actually, the first story about robots featured something pretty close to undead robots.
They were made out of some sort of chemical, and when they broke down, they were taken to a stamping mill where (IIRC) the chemical was reclaimed to make more robots.
Okay. So.
After saying a prayer to the Internet and crossing my fingers, I'm going to go ahead and post the link to my MSTings page and hope everything works like it's supposed to.
http://www.geocities.com/lotsabionicles/MSTings.html (http://www.geocities.com/lotsabionicles/MSTings.html)
I apologize if they're not very good. This is the first time I've released them to more than just one or two people, so, uh... boom.
Notes:
Yes, I realize that I didn't use the original Mystery Science Theater crew. I felt that I couldn't do them justice.
I apologize for the crappy Geocities page. I made it in a couple hours with a stomach bug, so I realize it's not exactly anything fancy.
I'll try to get these two MSTings in progress up after they're finished. Not sure how long that'll take.
I tested the page with Firefox and Chrome and it seemed to work nicely. Not sure about IE.
And finally, if you just want to read the best stuff, just check out "TheSquare Logs" and "The Eye of Argon".
Here's hoping you like them. If I at least get a chuckle or two, I've succeeded.
EDIT: And thanks to my buddy Digi, another one is up at the bottom of the short MSTing section. Check it out, it's pretty funny.
For undead robots, read "The Stainless Steel Leech" by Roger Zelazny (published in The Last Defender of Camelot (http://dd-b.net/dd-b/Ouroboros/booknotes/data/zelaznyr-thelastdefenderofcamelot.html)).
ALERT ALERT ALERT IN BIG RED CAPS
As of this writing, we'll be having a session soon, so check in now if you want to watch.
Details one last time:
IRC Server: Sorcerynet
Channel: #supersmashrpg
EDIT TO AVOID DOUBLE POSTAGE:
Sorry for the lack of talking. Being sick and going on insane tangents with a fever do not a good post make.
Ghostwish, thank you for showing up. Very much.
And now for the report! Or what I remember of it through a feverish haze of delusion and roast beef and stuff.
Del finding out about his shapeshifting by unwittingly turning into his girlfriend in the middle of a snooze;
the resulting scream covering four octaves and ten city blocks;
him being the ONLY one to avoid being shot at by a crazy dude with a Japanese bullet-hell level of firepower;
a thirty-minute argument on the next course of action to take;
five failures in a row on finding the starter of a boat;
Del getting angry enough by the repeated failure to wind up kicking a hole in the side of the boat;
while the boat was at sea;
and finally, the group reaching Kanto of Pokemon fame.
Bwehehehe, you guys have no idea what you're missing. It was hilarious fun just to watch. Seriously, I'll be joining the sessions as soon as I can. Oh, and Ranzer?
Please refrain from kicking any more boats, mkay? :P

Maaaaaybe. :3
In any case, another session shall be coming tonight at 4 PM PST, 7 PM EST.
BE THERE!
EDIT:
EPIC REPORT tonight. The setting: the Questers go to Pokemon. Hopefully a full log will be up soon, but in the meantime, session report.
kicking Bug Catchers in the stomach;
punting Ratattas over the horizon;
"GOOOOOOOOOAL! GOAL GOAL GOAL GOAL!"
Jigglypuffs and the incubi they lured to sleep, next on Donahue;
Said Jigglypuff being a pickpocket that began stealing my money;
a massive brawl between a 2000-pound Reploid with a mental disorder and a gun and a tiny 4-ounce pink fluffy ball;
said Reploid nearly getting mauled by Missingno;
life really sucking because WE WERE COVERED IN BEEDRILLS;
a Pokemart getting UTTERLY DESTROYED in the fight between Panzer the Reploid and Jigglypuff the Mighty;
said Jigglypuff VIOLENTLY EXPLODING and hitting me for 50 damage;
people getting hit by flaming debris, falling shelves, and slipping on broken Potion liquid;
Panzer shooting a man for spraying her with Repel;
then going in and stealing a Nurse Joy's cap;
Repels apparently being nothing but strong lemon scent;
trading one skeleton to get both fossils in the Mount Moon tunnel;
skipping fights from Team Rocket in the tunnels via stabbing;
skipping fights from Team Rocket on Nugget Bridge by explosions;
Jesse and James getting an assignment to kill the Questers;
and James getting a telephone base to the face as the session ended.
...Y'know, on second thought, I think I'm probably going to stay away from this RP. Much to insane for me.
Dang, I missed another one. I want to sit in on the insanity! :<
Sorry for the late short report. I was still shaking off the last bit of that stomach bug, so I had to go to bed early. With that...
Death Egg Madness:
Del shifting into his girlfriend to freak out her one-night crush;
him learning of said one-night crush and getting REALLY angry;
the moment being defused when he learns that she happened to be cracked out of her mind on hallucinogenic coffee and didn't really mean it;
Zero-G madness on the Death Egg, how CRAAAAAAZY;
intergalactic chase scenes;
...and that's where I went to bed. Sorry! *sweatdrop*
Also, if you happen to allow blatant plugs, go find and download the English version of a game called Elonia. It's a very cool open-ended RPG translated from Japanese, with a good bit of Roguelike elements and some insanity from the screwy random item material generator (shotguns made of glass! Swords made of cloth! Pistols made of ROCK!), but it's still worth checking out. And you can get a kitty! :3
DOUBLE POSTS ARE SO MUCH FUN
Report of more Eggman madness:
Del nearly killing a ski-masked man before realizing that he was a former teammie;
Giovanni and Mewtwo coming in to get the fossils we had picked up in Kanto;
Mewtwo then stomping all of us and flinging me face-first into a tree;
Giovanni then being punched in the face by the one, the only, DOCTOR IVO ROBOTNIK;
who apparently was NOT dead, despite mountains of evidence that was actually faked;
ALL of our adventures apparently being a cosmic Xanatos Roulette by Robotnik;
Mewtwo finally being free, FREEEEEE AS THE WIND BLOWS;
drifting off into fantasy daydream worlds in the middle of conversations;
head, meet wall, repeat;
the party idiot asking if his shoes could possibly be hacked;
Del finally snapping under the stress of yet ANOTHER army marching in halfway around the world and breaking down into a sobbing heap (which was actually rather disturbing to write);
and the scene closing with the Questers wondering just what to do with about seven or eight situations at once, including a rather untrustworthy ally, above army, and an incubus having a complete and utter mental shattering on the floor.
Interesting night.
Sounds fun.
REPORTS REPORTS LOLOLOL why yes I am running out of things to talk about.
HYDRA 'n' seekra:
Ski-mask guy, AKA Garrick, hang-gliding into the middle of a battle with the invading HYDRA enemy squadron (yes, it's a bad pun, shut up);
The OTHER hang-gliding guy, an NPC named Jack, casually letting go of the glider in mid-air to blow up a helicopter;
me calling a general of the army out as being invulnerable to Jack's kill-anything-dead-right-now staff and being right;
Jack then getting manhandled by a guy whose only lines were "...";
Silent guy then getting annihilated by a big freaking lightning gun;
red text people saying stuff that I don't remember;
"My eggs. Your eggs. Egg egg egg.";
Aaaaaand the session finishing with a catatonic Del being dragged onto a boat. Fun times!

A "Kill anything dead right now" staff?
That. is. amazing.
Best.
Weapon.
Name.
Ever.
Why would you need to kill dead things? Kill live things, ok. Destroy undead things, ok. But kill dead things?

Allow me to clarify. This staff does not JUST kill people. It does not blow them up. It simply fires turquoise-colored laser beams that makes anyone caught in them disintegrate and cease to exist. It is the equivalent of cremating someone, running over the ashes with a steamroller (WRYYYYYYYYYY), tossing gasoline and a match on what's left, and then jumping up and down on the flaming bits.
Oh, and it's apparently fueled by souls. Del has competition!

Balefire? >:3
Sounds like another Wheel of Time reader. :mowwink Though Balefire doesn't just disintegrate now, it destroys the target going back in time (maybe to varying degrees).

Ugh, blargh, sorry I haven't replied for a while. Take your pick from the following list:
1: I have been sick.
2. I have been busy.
3. School has been killing me.
...In any case. In lieu of a report for right now, here are some cracked-out reasons to download and try Elona!
*FILLER BEGIN*
1. "You see here a leatherwork computer."
2. Nuts, when cooked, turn into candy. Including cream puffs.
3. Getting milk from a monster. A MALE monster.
4. Getting wet from rain. While inside a building. Apparently, all roofs in Elona are made of Kleenex or something.
5. Apple pie. WITH NO APPLES.
...Anyways. While it could be described only as "clinically insane", it's still a fun game and you should go download it now.
My apologies for the lame post. I'll try to remember to start taking session notes again.
YEAH I'M BACK BABY
being attacked by a robot Zangief from Street Fighter;
beating it, only to have it fling its head at us and continue attacking;
the poor lackey of the man we're chasing getting pounded repeatedly by light beams, electricity, and Explode;
the resident ass-kicking black guy, Julian, getting into an epic wrestling match with said robotic Zangief;
the EVIL COMMUNIST RUSSIANS getting their boat wiped out by a tidal wave;
Robo-Zangief following the EVIL COMMUNIST RUSSIANS into the ocean;
Deloth casually whistling "Yankee Doodle" to rub it in;
Robotnik taking over the Egg Carrier via remote control;
"Hands. Off. The ears. And you're messing up my headwings.";
Aaaaand Del giving Robotnik a glare that if looks could kill, would put him in traction for a good six months.
EDIT TO AVOID YET ANOTHER DOUBLE POST:
Alright. The big overarching plot of this session is setting up a double-cross with Red Text Guy to stall him for a while. It worked.
Meanwhile, consider this list of reasons for Del's mental instability:
random (to this universe, anyways; they'd be perfectly normal in the DMFA-verse, but THEY don't know that) mutations that possibly could kill him, with no warning;
having racked up about five thousand kills over his services;
constant attacks against the new world that they are in;
having to team up with someone that he knows will betray them, with no alternative, and having him gloat to his face about it;
about ten deaths in this new universe alone;
and not knowing what in the world he is or what will happen next. At all.
The result?
ROARING RAMPAGE OF INSANITY.
He dragged out a 45-minute argument (real time) about the situation, snapped hard after that, stabbed one of his best friends in the gut twice, pulverized both shoulders bashing against the bars of his holding cell, and continued to do so until the adrenaline wore off and he finally collapsed in a bloody heap out of exhaustion.
...I'm not really sure what to do now, to be honest. He has slipped out of his cell using shapeshifting, though, so we shall soon see.
Ideally, I want the reaction to be something along the lines of D: :lynched :scaredkitty . I love having a big smiley collection on these boards.
meow.
Oh my. So, so long ago since my last post.
Sorry 'bout dat. Between an unplanned early Christmas dinner, illness in the family, a delay last Sunday, and the starting of a Chuck Norris Challenge on Oblivion, I've been reaaaaaaally busy. Please don't kill me.
But. I have a report now. And from now on, I will take notes. I will type them up. I will sit in the computer chair. I will be smart. I will make things go.
Without further ado:
Del getting out of the hospital after his insanity strike;
the group trying to form a plan to find X of Mega Man fame;
and then making a plan to go to SPAAAAAAAACE;
using a missile;
Del finally getting to use his shapeshifting for tactical espionage purposes;
as Vile, everyone's favorite Boba Fett ripoff;
the clan marking problem being solved by the elegant solution of slapping a piece of the REAL Vile over it;
Zero slashing a robot in half with one hit via a very lucky dice roll;
"The robot is pretty much screwed.";
Del revealing himself to be brainwashed, joining the enemy's side, and yelling some of the corniest lines known to mankind;
aaaaand him summoning up a gun to blast away with as his final move before passing out.
I'm beginning to think that Del must be the unluckiest guy in the world after all of this. When the GM remarks that he should reward you for finding the most creative ways to die, you know things are bad.
EDIT:
Merry Christmas! I bring another report, along with cookies!
The group appearing in a festive winter wonderland instead of a war-torn hell after entering a teleporter;
and then finding Santa in his workshop;
Garrick drawing a gun on Del as soon as he woke up;
Del getting a "possession meter" as his present;
and it signaling that yes, he has been possessed by something that is NOT Christmas cheer;
Santa revealing a holiday-themed obstacle course;
bread as weapon;
possession guy taking my turn for me when my connection broke;
skiing disasters, next on Whacked-Out SSQ;
a girl and her Digimon joining us. Feel the love;
a magical hot chocolate dispenser machine;
decorating a Christmas tree as our final challenge;
and said tree giving us a buff for our next fight.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE! :hug
Oh god, sorcery IRC. Remind me to go into lurker mode. YOU WILL NEVER FIND MEEEEEE. *hem*
Also, oh god, Eye of Argon. DO NOT WAAAAAANT. D:
I swear, this must be the year of a million illnesses for me. I wake up this morning and find that every muscle in my body feels like it's been wrung of all its vital fluids.
BUT THAT WILL NOT STOP ME. I still managed to type up a report, coming up right now!
(sorry for the abrubt start, I came in 30 minutes late);
James Bond kidnapping a comatose X and zooming off;
our driver getting shot in the head;
Julian starting a battle on the hood of James' car;
Del blowing up the rest of the grenades to make things a bit easier;
the car with Bond plunging over the side of a cliff;
Del managing to perform his first teleport while carrying an ally;
eating lunch while talking about various plans;
the guy possessing Del casually saving the entire Egg Carrier from crashing into a mountain;
Sonic knocking out a GUN squad by himself and discovering Metal Sonic's capsule;
a think tank session on who is possessing Del and why;
negotiating with Bond for X;
...and this is where my connection broke. Sorry.
EDIT:
Alright, I have no idea on whether to open a new thread or revive an ages-old one, and I just made a wild guess. If I screwed up, please forgive me.
This time, I've got a question. Could it be possible for a 'Cubi to be really, really good in one area of their abilities, but in exchange, not get another at all? I ask this because I can smell some game-breaking possibilities, and I reeeeeeally don't want that to happen, so I was thinking of having Del develop his shapeshifting to a supafly level in exchange for not getting the "mental" powers, like mindreading and dream-entering. Buuuuuut, I wanted to see if this had precedent or not, and possibly pick up some info about it that I didn't know.
...So, uh, moo?

Dream Surfing is a skill that must be taught. Your character might not even know he could dream surf if he isn't told. And if he tried learning it on his own he would likely get himself killed. (Cubi Mind-Abilities: Page 04. (http://www.missmab.com/Demo/Cubi04.php))
Thought-Reading is a passive skill, but you can filter out all but certain key words (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_864.php). So it might be possible for him to get a charm of some sort that filters out everything. You would have to come up with a reason for getting a charm to do that. One reason I can think of is that thought-reading is like being in a really loud cafeteria or auditorium, and might be a real pain to not filter out everything. It also might be fun to see him lose his charm and have to deal with the voices in his head. :mowwink
See, this is what happens when I assume that a topic is dead. I leave for weeks and come back and see that there's a reply. CURSE MY SHORT ATTENTION SPAN. :cuss
Anyways. I haven't been keeping reports lately due to a bit of a pressing situation in my schooling (read: OH MY GOD I ONLY HAVE THREE DAYS TO DO A MONTH'S WORTH OF ESSAYS AND TYPING WORKS), but I can give a few updates on Del's status.
Gained:
the magic-based metabolism
a low-level elemental spell
a sweet sword upgrade that stuns enemies with a good roll
a small, extremely sharp fragment of darkness, currently used as a toothpick
15 coins for hitting an extremely annoying character over the head and making him leave
a ghost that is using his body for some nefarious and unexplained purpose
an actual backstory, yey
Aaaaaaand the chance to freak out a teammate by casually whipping out what I consider to be one of my finest ad-libs.
"Think about it. Shapeshifting. Tentacles. No need to sleep. I don't know if my girlfriend and I will ever get a kid, but I can sure tell that we're gonna have fun trying." *eyebrow waggle*
Cue the victim trying desperately to change the subject while the others laugh. A lot.
I'm so proud.

That is indeed much awesome :D
Sorry for no report... schoolwork... so tired... hand hurts...
I can give some general events, though.
We've had:
Samus showing up;
along with a giant anthro wolf from the toothpick-crystal...
...and he's our newest teammate!
me taking an hour to write this simple little post because of being distracted;
Deloth figuring out a new way to store items by shifting them into his body;
and then realizing that the late-night TV scheduling is horrible, which is a bit of a problem for someone who's stuck on a ship and can't sleep. I also managed to slip in another reference!
"'Fun With Dirt', 'The Volcano Worshipper's Hour', 'Wheel of Phlegm'... it's like they're TRYING to drive people away from their sets..."
Netcookie for the first correct answer on where I got those show names.
EDIT:
:mowcookie for Tapewolf. I still love that movie, so sue me.

UHF?
Alright. Okay. Sorry for being absent, I had to get a scadload of reports sent in or otherwise I'd have to pay $150 as a late fee. But that's done, so now I can report...
Uh...
Okay, to be honest, I've been so busy that I haven't been keeping reports. I do, however, still have amusement.
A few weeks ago, the group was joking OOCly about D&D's system and how a level one housecat could kill Generic Commoner #5972 without much of a sweat. I said something along the lines of "someone should make a housecat as a character".
Then I started thinking. Why NOT?
So I present Ragnar. An awakened Housecat 3/Sorcerer 1, the longstanding familiar of a wizard who recently had "Awaken Animal" cast on him and decided to go off on his own adventure with a group. It's a surprising challenge; no hands, no voice, and two pounds is all I can carry without penalties. It's also downright hilarious and I'm having tons of fun doing it.
...Also, question. If anyone has the soundtrack for the original Jet Grind Radio, lemme know where I can get it. I've been listening to it on Youtube and it has DEVOURED MY SYNAPSES. And it's catchy, too.
