[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[Abillioncats]

@FlitterFaux Don't see why not, go for it.

[Forsythe]

Let's see, Swansong seems the obvious choice for lacking 2 members and as Annabelle herself would sell it "Tiger can be our fourth! Then we could even call ourselves STAG! Though Swansong is super classy and I'd really prefer to stick with that, I just don't want anyone to point out that we're like Team SAG or anything, that'd be embarrassing-"

Though she would have a lot of fun with ODE (especially screwing with poor Oswald) and drag Emerald into her hair brained schemes. I get the impression Diamond would sooner or later kick her ass for her bullshit, but that would be hilarious, too.

I think the deciding factor should be what team can deal with a member that will need a ton of work? It's only mentioned once on the CS that she has zero experience fighting actual Grimm. All that training has not prepared her for facing down something that very much wants to kill you more than anything else in the world. Whatever team gets her will have to pick up her slack when things get real.

In light of all that, who still wants her?

@FlitterFaux

Dibs. We need a replacement tank person and this is as close as we can get :D

Personally Tak was my favorite, Gaz was also awesome. I guess Dib has his appeal though.

Hm. Tank. Annabelle. Sort of? She can make it happen in a pinch and be a solid distraction but it is her weakest area. More support oriented but... we could make it work with appropriate adjustments.

PS color me surprised, I thought the loudest call would be for Swansong, but it seems Codex really wants Annabelle huh? Kinda makes me worry about you guys... Or maybe I was just too vague with my warning and should just come right out with it? She's gonna fall apart the first time she's needed the most and picking up the pieces is going to be a chore.

On a side note what would we do with the letters AODE? Might be cute if y'all went for her last name and became DOVE, heheh.

@FlitterFaux

Actually, the one color name we found would be DAndEliOn. Diamond would hate that name, but hey~ Also, I meant an actual, literal tank, not the character class. Unsubtle was very similar to the Tiger actually, in the way that it was good at long range and needed protection form swarms that got close. Oswald and Diamond would know instantly how to fight alongside it.
_{Swansong would probably call loudly if they were around some time.}

@Forsythe

Thats...an honestly fucking awesome idea

I want one XD

Edit: seriously considering it with a second character...

[FlitterFaux]

I see what you mean. Elegantly Unsubtle was a much larger and more complex/versatile piece than Tiger, by a lot I'd say. But Tiger is great too for being able to follow a team into tight spaces and make its own basic decisions in combat. Dandelion. Just plain cute. Should I poke at the members of Swansong to get their attention on the issue? Or just let time do its work?

[Forsythe]

Poke em... with a stick.

EDIT: Or not, because ZIS ONE'S OURS KEEP OFF

[FlitterFaux]

Yes, I shall prod them. Totally NOT because I want to see you guys fight over miss Valentine. No that would be a stunt she would pull. Not I.

Did I mention Annabelle bakes?

[SuperCustodiam]

FINALLY.

I'm just going to post (at 4:30 in the morning) what I have at this point before I lose my mind trying to make the damn thing "perfect" by attempting to add more and then not liking it and starting over again.

Writer's Block sucks.

Being my own worst critic sucks.

Being Idealistic sucks.

[FlitterFaux]

Well I read it and I liked it so hopefully that makes you feel better :3 4:30? That is so hard to get used to... I'm used to comparing everything to east coast time even after 6+ months. It's 11:40 here.

@FlitterFaux

nearly 6pm over here in the motherland

forever alone when the americans asleep

~mentally pats crimmy's back in a sad attempt to console~

[Crimmy]

I'll just do work on the contest entry which was 3.6k words last night and still is 3.6k words right now and I'm going to Foshan with family to assess my cousin's boyfriend so I need to probably get more work done of this thing if I wanna hit 20k.

[FlitterFaux]

I'm looking forward to reading that :3 ~wonders at the assessing of a cousin's boyfriend~ Nyeh, none of your business, Flitter!

@FlitterFaux

Cousin just got a boyfriend, so her father, stepmother, birth mother's two younger sisters (my aunt and my mother) and younger brother (my uncle), elder male cousin (uncle's son) and younger male cousin (me) are all meeting him to make sure he's not some suspicious guy.

I don't even know why I'm tagging along, but it's weird enough that I guess I'm going for the experience.

@FlitterFaux

Oh you DO need to be on our team, because you and I are only an hour apart, I'll be free to write at pretty much the same time you would C:

[FlitterFaux]

Gratias for simultaneously sating my initial curiosity and inspiring more. I find myself bemused. Is this a common thing where you are? For that matter does this seem like a reasonable outing by American standards? I'm... really disconnected. Society and I have certain disagreements.

@FlitterFaux

well, unless you are a 12 hour time format using scrub and you forgot to mention "pm" xD If that's the case, make it 11 hours.

Yeah they meant 12 hr format pretty sure, that's what most people use in the states.
