@Framing A Moose Summary: People showed up at the gate. Everyone is walking toward the main building. People are socializing/fighting/being a pain.

@Archmage MCnot for me. You might enjoy interactions like that but I don't. There's no point in them. If you want Light to be nothing to comdey relief that's fine but leave my characters out of it.

@Archmage MC Finally figured out who Light reminded me of now, Slapstick. That goofish cartoon physics shtick is very reminiscent of him. Just wanted to point it out^

I have a few issues...

First off, let me start, breaking the forth wall, is not an option here, the only Exception is the child of Deadpool- in this case, Vicier has this child, and is in the process of making it. I understand you do forget things in posts, but this:

"To show what he was talking about, he picked up his suitcase (that went unmentioned earlier, but was totally there the whole time) and opened it up"

Could easily have been written like this:

"To show what he was talking about, he picked up his suitcase, from where he had left it earlier, and opened it up."





Second, I know this is casual, and that while it is still considered laid back, I moved this casual because I wanted more skill, and quality to posts. I'm so proud of those that came here with me from the old roleplay, and I'm looking forward to see the advancement they have.

I'd like to see everyone grow a bit in posting, even myself- I've come a long way in under a year, and I've still got a long way to come.





Thirdly, While we are working on a Bruce post, I'd like a majority of characters posted in, and all of mine and my Co-GMs. I'd like everyone to have a chance to have their characters introduced before this so do keep in mind that the students will be at the front gates until this happens. and be wary of the time- not a great amount of time is passing at the moment.





And finally...

"the best group in the RP currently and I will fight you if you say otherwise"

I will fight anyone who does this sort of thing again. Yes, I know it might be funny and everything, but it is disrespectful to others. To every other writer in the roleplay, and that is a big no no for me.

I will not have disrespect.

I will not have people feeling like they aren't making a good enough character to be considered for "the best group".





If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to come to me.

@Caits Don't worry about 4th wall stuff. Light doesn't break it, though she will be aware of it if Deadpool shows up :P.

@Archmage MC No one is aware of what Deadpool does, everyone just things he is a crazy person.

So if the child of deadpool does break the fourth wall, I don't see how light could be aware of it

@Caits
I'm actually going to have to agree with @Archmage MC on this one. As long as it doesn't get too publically addressed, and doesn't mess with the other characters, I don't see a problem. In fact, I think it would take away from Light if she wasn't able break the fourth wall. One could argue that Light's superpower is her metaness. After all, most of her special abilities stem from not altering her self, but altering the laws of the universe, which are strictly defined. But if someone walked in and was more meta than her, well, it'd kind of suck for the character. Like if the fastest man alive, discovered that there was an even faster man alive, and this man also had an assortment of other powers, like flying, laser eyes, and icebreath. For example. Strictly hypothetical, of course. So I'm going to vote that if anyone in the RP can break the fourth wall, Light can. Y'know, for whatever my vote is worth.

@Caits Its more shes aware that there are worlds that watch worlds or something like that. She is from the Void, so she kinda has a better idea of what worlds are than most others.

If anything, shes subtle about it xD.

It starts off with small little non-issue breaking the fourth wall and then it increases. So I''m trying to put a stop to it now, and I believe that the only characters capable of doing it is deadpool and his spawn. Why? Because that's what makes deadpool unique, among other things.

Well, lets put it this way. She wont bring it up unless Deadpool brings it up. :P.

Its not unique to Deadpool though, lots of DC heroes do it too. Watch Batman the Brave and the Bold to know what I mean :P. DC just isn't much one for comedy hence why they only exist because Batman. Its a shame, Brave and the Bold had some GOLDEN things. Birds of Prey song anyone?

Its not a common thing that, because I've never heard of it.

And besides that, I don't want the fourth wall broken... when there is no reason, nor design for it. Deadpool is known for breaking the fourth wall, and I am more than happy to have his child do it as well, but just not fixing up your own mistake?

Not just saying "Picked up the suitcase from where he/she/they/it had left it earlier" but instead writing that it had always been there in the way that it had been? there's standards in writing...

@Caits@Archmage MC
Hey, sorry if I'm butting in, but I just thought I'd throw in my two cents again. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that what Arch is saying is that Light will only observe the fourth when Deadpool breaks it, in a matter of speaking. For example, say Deadpool's kid breaks the fourth wall. Rather than having the normal reaction of confusion, I could see Light observing Deadpool's fourth wall break, saying something that hints at her having that kind of knowledge as well, and, at most, the two might have a short, humorous conversation that other people would just see as two mental patients babbling. The fourth wall is breaking no more than it would if it were just Deadpool.

@Caits Yeah, its not that common for DC. Like I said, watch Batman the Brave and the Bold. Or at least, the last episode of it. That is all about the fourth wall being shattered. :P

Alrighty then... so as a Co-GM, someone who (on occasion) watches that particular show when I'm home during the day (though now that's just a little harder considering I have a new job), and with the fact that I'm the one who is making the daughter of Deadpool, I feel like I should jump in here.

So just to put it out there- the Birds Of Prey song that you're on about does not actually break the forth wall in any way, shape or form. It mentions several big names of the DC Universe within the lyrics, and goes on to then roast them in ways that, while a little sexual in nature, are very humorous as you also mentioned. I do recommend to everyone that they should give it a watch, it's rather amusing; and I have linked the actual song just below this.



Now, as for the final episode of that show; while batman turns around in his final speech to speak to the children of the world, and to tell them that no matter where there is injustice, someone will always be there to protect the innocent- that is called a conclusion. Yes it is breaking the forth wall; but it is done so to instill a lesson to the children who watch the show, it is not something that is linked to the character of Batman, and not something that is liable to happen with him, or any other character aside from Deadpool in anything other than a children's cartoon. This sort of thing is also common of reality-soap opera TV shows; where the full cast comes back at the end to speak directly to the audience watching- you can see this sort of thing in shows such as Fresh Prince of Bell Air, The Nanny, Full House, etc.

It is a common way of concluding a show or episode, whether it be a comedy like Mrs Browns Boys, or something that ended on a more serious note like some episodes of the Fresh Prince.

As a collective (meaning our lovely GM and both of us Co-GM's) we have discussed it, and looked into this matter; and the only Marvel, DC and original characters we have come to an agreement upon being able to use such a power are Deadpool, Howard the Duck, and any of Deadpool's children.

Moving onto the next thing that needs to be addressed... Light.

I have, for my own piece of mind, re-read over Light's CS in the character tab so that I can once more reacquaint myself with her, and while she does come from the Void, there is no reference what so ever anywhere within her CS about the forth wall, nor being able to recognize or break it herself. What is written there in her CS is what has been accepted, and is what is expected from the GM and Co-GM's; that cannot be changed- something like being able to recognize and break the forth wall is considered to be a power, and therefore much too big to just be slipped in now in order to add to her. As far as we are concerned, and as far as what is stated in her CS, Light would be just as confused as everyone else about her antics; or, if you wish to go another route, perhaps even curious about the girl and her strange behavior when I do bring her in.

@Vicier Yeah it'll probably be the latter.

She would be curious. She is from the Void, so she knows more than 1 world exists. :P

Other worlds, yes. They are going to school with aliens from other worlds. Yay. Other worlds and knowledge of them are fine. Alternate universes, even, since the new DC comics is basically that - but not our world. Let's keep their world that we are writing in, their world, and our world ours, and just love each other and eat pizza rolls. :)

And yeah, the random parentheses with (-insert me speaking to you here-) within a post is HIGHLY distracting, when my brain is wired, when reading a story, to look for extra information that character is expressing.

"There was a hallway to the right where a light was shining towards the end (albiet dimly)." is a great example.
"There was a hallway to the right where a light was shining towards the end (which I'm sure someone turned on at some point)." is a very distracting (and dear I say) annoying example. (See what I did there in my parentheses? Look! I'm doing it again! Woo!)
