Have you seen/heard the Grinch? It ends happily! So will this.

Ohhhhh. I see. Okay, now I'm not really against it. Hmm... I wonder if there was a way we could conglomerate all these ideas. Like the Old Villains (caps ftw) becoming good in the end, like the Grinch.

... we could even have rhyming

NO RHYMING.

NO RHYMING.

The characters don't have to rhyme. We can just have some narrator.

Basically we join with them and defeat the evil ghosts of Cristmas.

If we rhyme there must be puns.

Huh?

That'll be Jacob's job.

Like the actual chars and not the incarnations of them that are Ghosts of Christmas Pasts, Present, and Futures?

Since when is that Sven's job?!?!

Yore's response to Ako had me rolling XD

I am confuse. Do we good guys beat the old villains, turn them good, or turn them good after fighting them and fight the incarnations of them (who's them?) that are Ghosts of Christmas Pasts, Present, and Futures?

So David and I were brainstorming about stuff to do for the MR Christmas special. What we thought is that we could use a What-If Rift so we don't disturb the current events. The actual Christmas ideas were as follows:

Mine: A charity thing where the members of the group go around fixing up forsaken worlds and spreading Christmas cheer. (Everybody Snapped can be good for the time because of the WiR.)

David's: A gift exchange. (He didn't elaborate much, but I thought we could incorporate it into the charity idea. Or any other idea anybody else thinks of.)

Your ideas: [insert here but not really just quote and post obvs]

(You can tell I'm in a great mood. Christmas is great.)

Old villains ravage planets as we save the world from the ghosts of Christmas past. Also, everyone's powers got swapped around and they have to try to win without knowing how to use them.

How about instead of the Old Villians ravaging planets, they become the good guys. Like Grinch type of story. And the Ghosts of Cristmas Pasts, Present, and Futures are the "good guys" (us) turned bad!!

I'm going to preemtively state not to take what gets said IC into the OOC for the next... however long, if I do anything christmas related. Like, even the true stuff. Leave the char separate, aight? I'll try to do the same.

Hmm...

I like the idea of the ghosts and of chars getting realigned. I can make it work with setting up for it.

Suggestions, I guess. Not great. Bleh.

I could set up the non canon scenarios if needed. Already put stuff in play a while back that lets it work, aside from Cupid.

Whatever the decision, I personally vote Dark and Gemini narrate as if it's a christmas story book. Since it's not canon anyway, might as well.

I'm totally having my new chars go around giving and stealing presents from people trying to outdo each other in the background.

Ideas:

> Everyone loses their powers, stranded on a planet, and try to make the perfect christmas for someone (I vote ES, Mordric, etc.) Trying to make it snow would be great to see.
> David trying to convince Ma'at that christmas is totally in december and (as would be in character for Dynamo, in my mind) is about getting presents instead of helping people/spending time with family, and/or just trying to show her how humans do christmas.
> Shipping fun with mistletoe but you'd all probably not like that if I were involved for obvious reasons.
> Epic snowball fights.
> A reverse scrooge story where someone is really happy and nice and everyone else and three ghosts eventually convince them to be a douche. (I nominate LB, Dark, and Misty as the ghosts, personally.)
> A giant fucking dinner where everyone past and present goes out to get and prepare food and a tree and presents, then eat together and so on. Preferably without powers.
> A who looks best in a santa and/or "sexy santa" outfit contest.
> further ideas pending

2nd to last. Erza would go lengths to win that. Especially when drunk.

So just do them separately? Duuuuh?

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Exactly.

Well, I guess. (Although one of the fights against the old villains could totally be a snowball fight. Don't ask me how that would work.)

I could totally do that. Just pull a Dark Ex Machina.

On a related note, I'm coining that term.

On a related related note, WHY DID I NEVER THINK OF CALLING IT THAT BEFORE!?!?!?!?!?!?

This song is beautiful.


I haven't heard anything like it before.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Kind of?

The question is: why do they need to be close together?

We really need to...describe the differences in energy. Because having a char with control over all forms of energy? That is a bit much. Either his power over each is pushed down or he needs to describe what form he controls.

First of all, making non-canon situations is easy with the What-If Rift.

No rhyming.

@DarkwolfX37
In regards to the jab, that's not what I think Christmas should be about, but that's what I think it's become.

I can help here. Most of what anyone means when they say "energy" is plasma. They're way different, but when you shoot a glowing white beam, it's plasma, not energy. The second interpretation (especially if it's colored) is a force of some kind (e.g. electromagnetic). If it does something special that most others don't, it's likely a force that the user is able to generate and others cannot. Forces normally don't have a visible travel path ("red runes appear on your skin") and do a variety of tasks. Finally, we have magic, which is just magic. Realistically, magic would be the capability to direct energy (the actual energy stuff), in order to make it behave in different ways. Since energy is only something that is a property of matter, magic allows you to change how that matter behaves.

@Spiritblitz

So, what do you think about having a Grinch-like story--that is, David's idea, but the bad guys become good in the end like the Grinch?

And also a big old snowball fight at the end or something courtesy of Dark.
