PLAYER PLOTTING POST

[shadowmods]

It's about time for a PPP! What is that, one might ask?

Player Plotting Posts are a good chance for people to plan meetings with other characters, to just get filled in on what's going on with other people in the game, or to figure out player-driven plots with other people.

Respond to this thread with the following information, and be sure to go through and look at other people's posts! Try to respond to one or two characters you haven't had a chance to interact with! It's a great chance for new CR.

Remember, the mirror plot is happening now and the gala is coming up. Use this spot to help organize yourself for those events!

For your convenience, you can just fill in the following information:

<b>Character Name:</b> <b>Canon:</b> <b>About the Character:</b> This can include what's happening in-game with your character right now, or any relevant information people should know (such as "my character is a cannibal and will probably try to eat yours" or anything else relevant) <b>What I'm Looking For:</b> This can be general or a good place to get the word out about plots you have in mind ("I'd like my character to make new friends" or "my character is a cannibal who is looking for people to eat, would yours be interested?" etc. this is also a place to plan for current or upcoming events.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Character Name: Rory Fletcher/Randall Flagg
Canon: Dark Tower et. al.
About the Character: Inter-dimensional trans-temporal wizard troll asshole and general chaote still currently working to maintain his disguise as a sweet Nebraska farmboy (having now recovered from Cordelia's super-duper Goodness Beam--thanks for nothing Cordelia--but Glinda recently caught him playing with magic and has essentially taken him under her wing as a new magic-user--so things may be getting complicated).

P.S.: the dove that delivered the engagement party invitation to him is now parts (blood, feathers, heart, entrails, claws, &c) for magic. Sorry :(

What I'm Looking For: I am always up for plots, situations, problems, and trolling. Fl(agg)etcher is a bad dude. So if you, for any reason, want your character tormented, tortured, troubled, trolled, trapped, or anything else that's bad (regardless of the initial letters of said thing), baby, he's your man. He'll play at being a good guy for a while and then it'll all go straight to hell. So if you want problems, I can provide you with problems.

He's definitely going to the engagement party and will be more charming than you will be able to stand.

Character Name: Roland Deschain
Canon: Dark Tower comics
About the Character: The newly-arrived King of the Cowboys. He's still adjusting to Othala and the whole "other world" thing (even though waking up in other worlds is kind of like, "oh, must be Tuesday," later on in his canon). He's getting used to it. Culture shock is gonna be a bitch, though. He really just wants his guns, plz. At least he has friends here.

What I'm Looking For: He has only just arrived, so I'm looking for anything and everything: CR, friends, foes, whatever. It's gonna take a little while for him to get used to...things. But, whatever. Seriously: he's shiny and new and I would love to get him hooked into stuff :3c

Since he just arrived, I doubt he got an invitation to the engagement party, but he'll probably end up going anyway. Hey, he sees it as one of those situations where one is polite and serious and diplomatic and ends up learning...lots.

Also, I should probably apologize for all the inevitable moments here at the start with him when it sounds more like me RPing Flagg RPing Roland than really the character. Oh well.

[ishouldcarewhyexactly]

The initial log with Mary and Roland made me laugh. A lot. I'd love to have them run into each other again for some reason. I don't know what, or how, but we can probably figure it out. Right?

Maybe he wants to run into Mirror Mary?

[unflagging]

Roland or Rory? (I officially play too many characters with similar names.) Because I know Fl(agg)etcher met Mary walking around the halls and was kind of an ass to her (which was awesome, btw), but now Ro's got this thing going on where he's all "You're a girl...and you have a gun. No, seriously, let's discuss this: you're...a girl. ...and you're not Aileen... And you have...a gun."

Anyway--Rory/Fl(agg)etcher could totally meet Mirror!Mary. I am always up for shenanigans. And fooling around with the bad results of magic spells sounds like something right up his alley.

[ishouldcarewhyexactly]

Rory... jeez. Though I am rather enjoying this whole Roland stunned that Mary has a gun thing too.

[unflagging]

Nah, nah, it's cool. They've got really similar names (and always will since, Flaggface likes to keep the "R. F." thing going most of the time).

Sob. Culture shock is a bitch, man. (I actually love it that he's getting smacked in the face with it immediately after arriving. On the one hand, he's all "Other cultures exist and do different things, just roll with it" and on the other he's like "But it's so weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird." Poor guy.)

[ishouldcarewhyexactly]

Yeah, Mary went through the same thing. Hers was more along the lines of magic is real though.

[begin_at_the_end]

Meanwhile, this guy's just like "Fuckin' magic? Again? What the hell?."

[ishouldcarewhyexactly]

Hahahaha.

[huge_egomd]

At some point, I'm going to have to take your trolly wizard up on his problem making. Thanks to Bert, House knows what Flagg is now and he has a bad history with wizards. Also, he has a talent for pissing off the wrong people, not to mention a bit of a masochistic streak.

[unflagging]

Oh please do. Please please please. Shake the hand that shook the world, House. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease :3c

tl;dr: I'm game! Let me know if and when you need me. I'll even come up with the problem if you need me to~

[huge_egomd]

These two definitely need to clash, which is a shame 'cause House thought Rory was fun during the panty raid. But isn't that always the way? You make a friend and he turns out to be a world -destroying wizard :|

It'll probably be at least a month before I get down to some serious plottiness but I will absolutely give you a shout c:

[unflagging]

Hey, Rory is still fun for panty raids, c'mon. It's just...it gets a bit weird when you know he's a world-destroying wizard. Really, he's exactly the same. The only thing different is you.

No problem, no problem at all! I like having potential interactions saved up for the future. Sometimes things fall into place that just make it the perfect time for something or other.

[cordelisse]

More Rory and Zoey stuff would be fantastic, because Zoey hasn't been tormented enough, and I think Zoey needs to meet Roland at some point.

[unflagging]

I can do that. I can totally do that. I like tormenting.

I agree, I totally think she does--especially if Zoey's been hanging around Bert, it'll happen sooner or later. But, yeah! They should meet!

[cordelisse]

I may have pondered ideas regarding the tormenting while out and about today. Also, completely random and totally not pertinent at all question; would a blessed blade or anything of that nature work on Flagg?

It's going to be interesting, especially if Roland's still in the mindset Bert USED to be in regarding woman.

[unflagging]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks about terrible things while just...doing ordinary stuff. Ah~

Po...ten...tial...ly? Like, he can get injured, if that's what you're asking, but it takes a serious canon FUBAR to really mess him up. Usually he's clever enough and fast enough and sneaky enough to get himself out of situation that would otherwise hurt him. Cordelia blasted him a couple of weeks ago in-game with her Super-Duper Magic Goodness Beam and that kind of knocked the wind out of him (it was more like he started metaphorically bleeding out, and had to crawl off to regain his strength). So, yeah, potentially that kind of thing could work on him, depending on how aforementioned blessed blade might be set up or might work. Plus, y'know, there's always wiggle room for plotting.

Yeah........................ Like I said, culture shock is gonna be a bitch for him. (Hence the reason it all needs to happen.)

[cordelisse]

I wasn't thinking anything major. Definitely not. Just if it would be enough to say, stun him or hurt him even to a small degree. Say, for an escape or some such. But Zoey roomed with a demon hunter-y type (who also happened to have been a ghost, long story), and he kind of taught her all he knew. He was the one who taught her the warding for mirrors.

I kind of look forward to it, not gonna lie. Sorry Roland, Zoey doesn't have time for that shit. =D

[unflagging]

Yeah, it could work... I should go rummage in The Stand since that's the one that's got the more obvious Judeo-Christian stuff going on, and since I can't...wholly recall here at 12:20am whether or not he's ever hassled by holy things rather than just magic things and how that...works. Like, I'm sitting here, half-asleep, thinking that on a higher theoretical or meta-level, because the White is Good and the Red is Bad, and because Father Callahan gets his faith back right fast in the face (crystal balls don't have faces) of supah-evil Black 13 and goes all priestly against it and immediately equates faith in God with strength against the Red which is basically the same thing as fighting back against the devil and he thereby defeats its control over him and wow I am not making sense at this early hour...I should go to bed.

Anyway, plotting for plots means makin' stuff work. In this case, it could work. I'm going back to sleep.

As they say on the Internets, "Ain't nobody got time for that."

[cordelisse]

It made sense enough to me! I speak tired. =D Yes! We can make things work and can plot things for later. Oh, Zoey's going to be in for a hell of a time.

She apologises to Bert now for any... friction. Only not really.

[unflagging]

Okay, good. Because, I just went and reread that and I don't remember writing all of it (but I must have, because then I went to sleep and had Flagg-related dreams, so...).

In any event, awesome! I am always a fan of plotting or encounters or conflicts or whatever!

A little friction is a good thing. (Also, Bert's life can never be too easy, really.)

(I almost never get to use this icon, so I'm using it now.)

[cordelisse]

Yay for plotting and conflict! Especially Flagg-related plotting and conflict. For it is fun, and interesting. XD

Really, it's true. Bert's life gets too easy, it gets BORING. Can't have that.

(Flagg, what pretty hair you have)

[unflagging]

Awesome--I'm game if you are!

Heaven forbid it get boring~

(Isn't it amazing? I got to play him off of a Howl from the Howl's Moving Castle books in another game. The two of them had silent and unspoken Which Wizard Has The Best Hair contests.)

[mini_dean]

Ben obviously needs Roland in his life, if only to be able to team up and troll Bert on occasion.

and EW FLAGG!

[begin_at_the_end]

I fully agree! This is far too sad an icon for agreeing, but...whatever. I agree!! We must!!

DUDE. COME ON. FREE DOVE. DOVES ARE USEFUL FOR PARTS. DON'T KNOCK IT UNTIL YOU TRY IT.
