I am gonna work on my post a little tonight, and alittle tomorrow! Hopefully it's done by this time tomorrow. I'm a little busy with the holiday this weekend, life of a retail worker... ugh.
I think we should totally workshop, or worktogether on the broadcast. Get something together, and post it as an inbetween our posts?
I can't remember the exact contents of the first broadcast, but I think it was something about how earth worked, our culture, and a really really baaad explanation of how earth people were savages?
probably gonna push the slushie monsters to another floor.
Keep floor one monsters "generic" monster types, with no in depth personification.
I found this pretty sick Chameleon / Dinosaur thing, and I think a bunch of tiny Allosauruses would be kind of funny. Like 1 foot tall murder machines with stealth, and ambush attacks.
Hey! Got the neighborhood boss together for them :) I'll do loot with Igva next time.
Anything we're thinking for the Dungeon Premiere? Probably should have the show define the soul bound thing a little, show the aftermath of it happening. Maybe we could then give each pair a little vignette where they really notice each other for the first time?
Hope you liked my post! I liked yours! Hope work is giving you less of a hard time, I'm also struggling with work. I'm a software engineer lead- and it means I'm basically always on call haha
Also! I consider myself an elder emo! I just wanted to highlight some of the creeps in the scene lol- trying to apply it to Diane and Loralie because they worked at a rock radio station.
First off loved the post, and the boss is so good! Loved everything about it! Especially the over the top-ishness of the boss and his appearance. It was visceral, the whole thing was super well written!
I have entered kind of a lull with work until summer, so things are pretty good! Thinking about trying to find a different job, but that is really neither here or there!
Maybe our characters are watching the recap together? They just so happen to be broken up into their bonds, it gives them a chance to really interact together? Since they are probably all gonna sleep after.
I think we could do a mix of "successful" crawlers, and "interesting" deaths... maybe to really dial up the gameshow vibes... it's presented in a "America's funniest home videos" style show?
Write a few crawlers who killed a boss, write a few who died in odd or theatrical ways, write a few "crawlers to keep your eyes on"? Then have the same host character do a bit on how the soul bound works, by showing a few crawler's whose partner kicked the bucket at awkward times?
The screen clicked on, and depicted a woman running. She was obviously terrified, as her shoes sounded against the stone dungeon floor. It was silent beside the thump. Thump. Thump. Of her feet, and the horrified whimpering she made as she ran.
She ducked around a corner, and stopped! She stopped, just long enough to mutter "What the fuck was that!??!" When a purple tentacle slammed around the corner, across her face with a gut wrenching crunch. The words "Dungeon. Crawler. Worlds." Slammed into the screen and some upbeat music started to play, while Earth slid into the screen.
A stage was shown while the music kept playing, an alien came onto the stage from behind a curtain... he was dancing to the music, and waving to the crowd. "Hello everyone, and welcome to Dungeon Crawler World: Earth!" His deep voice boomed, and the crown went wild.
"Yes! Yes! I am so excited to be your host for the premier! Let me tell you, this season is going to be an amazing show!" He said, with a charming smile. He had all the bravado of a game show host from earth. If it wasn't for the large horns and shocking skin tone, she could see him hosting Family Feud or The Price is Right.
The camera panned to show two people who couldn't be more different, sitting on a rather comfortable looking fancy couch. The camera zoomed into focus on a woman. She was tall, like very very tall... and held herself with a regal poise, chin high and an almost bored expression on her face. She gave a gentle slow wave to the crowd. "Joining me today is a woman many of you know from the las..." the show cut out into silence ... "when she rules lawyered for..." silence again... "and won her case in syndicate high court. Hawthorne Valparo! Welcome Hawthorne!"
The camera panned over to the other person, who was slouched on the couch. Almost to large for the furniture, the person was covered in silk, gold, and jewels. They were a lion, well... like a anthro lion. "Former Crawler Jareen! That's right folks for the first time, in the history of the premier! A former crawler will provide their insight to these turbulent first few hours!"
Jareen looked as though they'd rather be anywhere else. "Jareen ofcourse famous for surviving to the 12th floor and killi..." silence, and for much longer while the host talked animatedly. Jareen said nothing, only nodding and waving to the crowd.
"Why dont we jump right in... I've asked you both to select a clip of a crawler, and I've done the same! Let's look at Hawthorne's, first!"
The camera was moving rapidly... like it was falling down a pit, there was glimpses of a person, but the camera was obviously having trouble staying close. Then it captured the person, and they were falling... long red braids whipped in the wind, a green plaid jacket fluttered around her... and with both hands she gripped a long golden spear.
"3... 2... 1...!" She had been counting, shouting the numbers... someone else was counting, then WHAM! Blood was absolutely everywhere! She hadnt been falling, she'd been flying down a hallway! She had slammed into a large creature, her impact leaving a hole in the side of the large corpse.
"We got another one, fuck yeah." The woman said, and turned to her partner. Above her head shown 3 skulls.
The clip stopped.
"Before most crawlers had killed a mob, she had killed a boss... by shear dumbluck... but, none the less... She has been hunting bosses since opening that legendary spear. It's a rather famous spear, I'm sure several viewers recognize it." With a sneer and smile Hawthorne looked over to Jareen... who was captivated by the clip. "It's called Jare-..." silence again, as Hawtorne laughed and Jareen gripped the arm rest so tightly it splintered.
Here is what I have so far, think I will post after we get the recap made!
It's an extremely rough draft, so dont judge me too hard! :)
@Citrus - hey!! Sorry about that- I was on vacation for about a week and a half. I'd intended to respond while there but it slipped my mind because there was a lot of travel. Plan to get to this tomorrow- and then I'll be back on my usual schedule!
