[OOC] Lantern

[Damiann47]

You are so different from your character that I'm kinda really impressed. Could only imagine Arin talking like that, ha.

[Thundercat]

Haha thank you Damiann ^.^ I know what you mean. I'm constantly in-between roleplaying as three entirely different characters so, y'know, guess that's something that happens.

Damn, Anise has a badass ability! Seeing in the dark could either be extremely useful or totally and utterly terrifying haha.

Edit: Randold is such a good guy. Thank goodness he's on blue team haha, for now at least ;-; who knows what Mokley's got cookin.

[Damiann47]

Yeah, to be honest I didn't really plan on him being a champion of selflessness and all that. He just ended up evolving into that role more or less, I did alude to this being unknown even to himself, that only now he's truly realizing how much he's willing to sacrifice in the name of others even the strangers our characters are still to each other. Looking back over the last week, I am kinda happy with how I directed him like with everyone he cruised along in life with little conflict, now that its survive or die more of the inner self is being shown.

[Mokley]

You guys gave me an idea. Allow me to edit in one extra sentence for Anise. (hoping she hasn't started writing a post yet)

Edit: Done! reworked the last few paragraphs, now there's a clearer fork in the road.

[Damiann47]

If you don't mind if I ask, just some curiosity really, what idea did we give you anyway?

[drewccapp]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG PLOT SHINIES!

You were talking about character development and how you didn't know how Randold would turn out -- and it made me realize I'd squandered an opportunity with the crossroads!

At first there had only been one firefly that emerged from the dark branches -- and everything, to Arin, was black beyond the reach of the lantern. And then, more fireflies flashed around him, appearing seemingly out of nowhere. They gathered together in a trail behind him, silently pulsing their yellow glow, as if in response to the lantern's red light.

Oh gosh, I just realized how vital those fireflies are going to be in the possibly near future. I can't help but feel like they're some type of omen.

[Mokley]

Aaaand by quoting that you reminded me that the lantern is BLUE and not RED.

Dammit. *headdesk*

In case it's not obvious by now, my brain has a problem with remembering simple things. Like Anise's name and colors. :D

[drewccapp]

*Sees that Thundercat posted before I finished writing my post and goes back to edit a bit*

[Mokley]

Ok, it's too late to change the color back, so we're rolling with it.

The blue lantern is now glowing red. It is a different sort of red than Red team's. But that's not obvious, as there is no way right now to compare them.

Carry on. ;)

[Damiann47]

Its pretty clear that the colors have more meaning then just a way to categorize the teams, or well now it does since the color change was an accident eh?

[drewccapp]

Funnily enough when I first read that I thought that it had briefly turned red (accursed speed reading) before turning back blue... but I'm definitely cool with rolling with it.

(not that Anise is paying any attention to Arin or the lantern right now)

Haha quite true! Might end up being a happy accident, in which case it's something else to play with. Hmmmmmm....

Ah yeah, the original plan was to simply turn it a darker shade for a moment, so you read it the way it was originally intended. Back when I forgot what color the lantern was. x3

Edit: I'm going to bed! If anyone finds any more of my mistakes, feel free to call them out IC, as always. Your character is completely free to point out that something makes no sense whatsoever, and I'll just have to incorporate an explanation later. ;)

[drewccapp]

What if one of the other lanterns turned blue? EEEEEeeeeeh!?!

[Damiann47]

Actually I read it the same way as well, thought it only flashed red. Bah, whatever the case is the color red was involved in our beautiful blue lantern.

Edit: Ok already covered that then I leave what I posted for prosperity or something, history is important and all that, or something, and run on sentences, and yeah time to go to sleep.

[drewccapp]

Or maybe it matches the thought process of the person holding it!!! O.O EVIL THOUGHTS FOR RED! Sociopath = red!

[Mokley]

:O! It's a mood ring -- er .... a mood egg!! XD

I'm really going to sleep now. I promise.

[Damiann47]

Arin is pretty much about to stab Arise in the back, so yeah maybe some psychopath alarm would be pretty handy all things considered. Anyway great work team blue, pretty much hijacked the entire RP, so all in a good day's work. As said before, bed time.

Heheheheh, Randold and Hania as well. Once he finds out they have yet to kick the bucket.

Also totally on board with a new red lantern. Much cooler imo. Hooray for Mokley's silly brain!
