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.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Hm...

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Is it too far away from your original idea? I wanted to try and fit aspects from all of our ideas together so that nobody is left out. If we used only one idea, everybody else would lose their contributions.

This song is beautiful.


I haven't heard anything like it before.

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

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

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.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

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.

We're running out of time until Christmas.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Are we doing it on christmas or shortly after or waiting until everyone can be involved ie Tox to keep with the spirit of things?

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

They don't need to be.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Absolutely rhyming. And no, it's not a jab, I genuinely think that would be in character for Dynamo. At least back when he and you weren't serious all the time.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

To add to this, there's the whole "other universes have different laws and how that translates between them" thing that allows for further kinds of "energy."

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

I wanted to start as soon as possible. We have no idea when Tox will get here (although David probably could ask) (and he might say hello for Christmas and then we could goad him into joining in).

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

We're not serious all the time.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Sven's wifi is dead until Monday. He won't be here.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Oh. Blast. Okay then, belated Christmas special it is.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Christmas will be dead by then. Considering the focus span of all of us, I guarantee it will be DoA.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Okay then, let's just do it really slowly. Or have lots of villains. Or put Jacob's villains at the end of the list. The power swapping thing would be a problem, but we could just have the powers inexplicably be swapped a second time once Jacob appears.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

They don't have to be swapped in pairs; they could be randomized. Regardless, I'm not in favor of slowing down.

Ako controls not plasma, but energy at its sorce. He can control Shinsu, to be exact. If you don't know what it is, look up the Webtoons story Tower Of God.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

I know; that's what I was thinking about. But for the first randomisation, we don't include Sven's characters' powers, because then the characters wouldn't be there to teach us how to use those powers on the fly.

Then we can just throw in more villains. Or perhaps at our normal pace we might not finish by Monday.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

There's no such thing as energy you can see or feel.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Who says anyone has to be taught?

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Because it'd be funny.
>fighting in the middle of a battle
>"WHAT'S THAT WORD AGAIN?"
>"UHHH HARMONY MAKE"
>"BATTLECHIP UPLOAD--NO DOWNLOAD"
>etc. etc.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Yeah, but it doesn't apply to every character.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Well, of course. I'm sure some would easily be able to pick it up.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

My point is that we should be able to do it without his there.
