QUACK QUACK QUACK BIRDY STUMBLES INTO BATTLE!
So I kind of have a few plot ideas I wanna try out. Nothing too fancy, cause I like casual threads. Casual threads are amazing things. And I suppose I want something along the same lines for both of my characters, Danny Kazuki and Luella B. Mynn, and they could use a good old-fashioned butt-kicking.
------------Danny stuffs
Except my ideas for Danny are more battle related. The end goal here is to whittle away his confidence as a trainer until he kind of sulks off into civilian status. I'll probably have more work/maid cafe related threads for him or something when I get that far in the game. But for right now, I kind of want him to get his butt kicked cause he's getting pretty confidence after his last few catch threads. He'll probably have an attitude about it because he's not the best at accepting his losses, so if you want to kick up some sparks with him, that could be an idea.
It could be a fast battle. I don't mind. Maybe offer him some pointers/strike through his arrogance afterwards with some blunt-af critiques? He hates that.
Or if you wanna be friends, he could think he stands a chance and get kind of close to winning? That would be easier on his fra-gee-lay ego.
I do want at least one battle though that totally makes his life get flipped, turned upside down. I think a role model character could be good for him too. Maybe someone that can motivate him to keep trying so he doesn't lose all interest and take a training hiatus cause #insecurities. He'll probs fall back and take a break anyways, but that'll be a fun process to watch.
And that's sort of what I want for Danny right now! Casual stuff. It can get more intense later if it gets like that idm. Definitely talk to me on Skype or PM me if you wanna build on that <3
----------- Luella stuffs
Luuueeeeelllaaaaa's kind of different. She's a breeder, not a battler, but she's not the greatest at taking care of her Pokemon. They're kind of all over the place, and they haven't run away or tripped and fell in the well (yet) because some are learning to watch after one another, but she could still use someone to get in her face and and scold her for that stuff. Moral butt-kicking? That's a thing I think. It'd be good to have someone like that kind of creep around her antics at her mobile daycare and realize that she's pretty crappy compared to everyone else, and needs to get a better concept of what it means to be responsible. So no battle butt-kicking. Moral butt-kicking. c:
Not that she'll like your character for it, but she won't disregard interactions with them. She'll be sulky and pouty because much like Danny, she's awful at accepting her flaws/mistakes, and prefers discovering this stuff on her own.
Luella's available for missions btw. If you wanna accept one for her/make a mission up together so we can accept it for some funky plot of our own, let's do that! I think silly stuff would be good for her too. Liiiike. Missions that leave them in charge of something that neither character has much experience with. Or missions that are related to aquarium things? Once it's up and running of course, but it's something to think about.
QUACK QUACK QUACK LOOK THERE'S BONUS STUFF FOR OTHER THINGS QUACK QUACK QUACKERS
-----------RP TO-DO LIST
* Not in order of importance. Just a casual list. Message me if you wanna tackle any of them with me! Very likely I'll add more later.
1) Attempt to start a musical with another character and fail horribly 2) Let Danny experience unrequited love at some point 3) Danny and Unnur should do the toy mission 4) Luella tries to eat one of Unnur's Pokemon or something and they get pissy about it 5) Luella becomes someone's mother figure 6) Danny gets twitter friends and they tweet each other using the tweet generator for hilarious IM antics 7) Luella successfully blames someone else for something she did 8) Danny becomes THE DISTRACTION and leads someone dangerous away from an ally 9) Danny becomes a temp damsel in distress and says all the cliche lines 10) Danny/Luella texts someone the wrong thing on accident and things are really weird after that 11) Start a thread based on one of those 'rude ask prompts' and just improv the thread/what's going on from there 12) GAME SHOW. GAME SHOW. GAME SHOW. GAME SHOW. TV SHOW. TV TV TV TV TV LET'S GO LIVE BABY 13) Danny handcuffs himself to someone as a joke then finds out he has the wrong key 14) Watch a movie together and like. IM/Tweet each other about it while watching it? Kind of like live IMing a movie? Dude it'd be fun. 15) One muse gets sick and the other happens to be the worst nurse after and constantly makes it worse (coughs) Danny (coughs) 16) Muses sign up for a social experiment for the sake of psychology (+money) and try to ruin the experiment by acting in ways they shouldn't 17) Danny lies to someone and gets busted. Hard. 18) Muses both attempt to create a secret alias/persona for a wild night in Flash City 19) Muses happen to catch one of those over-the-top cheesy proposals and witness the proposer getting rejected? 20) Be a mall santa/mall elf + have fun 21) Investigate an online rumor that eventually leads to those scary death enabled temples 22) Put friendships through some kind of test where they might break/reach some kind of limit. Fight and make-up stuff. 23) Fall victim/give prank gifts that start some kind of prank war.
Cluck cluck! You gonna reply? Oh BOY ARE YOU GONNA REPLY? ARE YOU? ARE YOU? OH GOSH GOLLY DO IT! CLUCK!
Post by Kouji Sakuraba on Jan 3, 2015 3:59:25 GMT -5
*plops in*
Kouji calls dibs for planning with Luella bc they're both Breeders, plus he wants to get to know his fellow "conspirator" in running the Aquarium. He's already interacted with Erin, so mebbe some Breeder interaction between the two would be some fun? :3
He can also have a hand at moral butt-kicking Luella... he's heckuva lot more responsible with the 'mons under his care that being almost two hundred, across all my characters combined and maybe the young can whip some schooling into the old...? now that I mention it it sounds kinda wrong but eh, the older bunch are supposed to be teaching the young'ins, not the other way around lol
Post by Danny Kazuki on Jan 3, 2015 4:07:54 GMT -5
oh gosh tru tru they really do need to interact now that more of the aquarium stuff is getting settled in. What kind of breeder interaction? Like she could drop by Kouji's place out of curiosity because hey, awesome breeding places are awesome and she's pretty jelly of the whole set-up, so she's mostly quietly sneaking around with a level 1 sneak ability. She'll be obvious and get caught, and then yeah fun interaction times ahoy!
Approval for the moral butt-kicking. She's not gonna like it at all, but she's not gonna deny that he's more successful than she is. It's gonna be a painful lesson, but a much needed one. Sure, it's supposed to be the other way around, but some old dogs gotta learn new tricks so they don't feel so old on the inside. It's k. It'll work.
Maybe she'll ask for a tour and it'll slowly sink in how vast their differences are, and she's gonna give Kouji some kind of fancy nickname afterwards as a 'reward', hahaha.
If you're looking for something more battle related, I'd be happy to offer up a battle between Danny and Ricki. She's been a trainer for a few years and recently earned her Mega Knowledge, so I like to think she's a good battler that could provide a challenge if anything for Danny. I'd be willing to discuss the whole shebang with you on Skype, but I figured she'd be able to help knock his ego down a few pegs. After how long Ricki's been around as a character, she's sort of become that "cool older sister" type so if he needs a role model, she's more than willing to help anyone that desires to change their ways.
Post by Danny Kazuki on Feb 14, 2015 2:34:08 GMT -5
Danny's getting pretty set up on Butt-kickers thanks to Ricki and Ferris But I definitely don't mind more once the Valentines Events cool down :^) Just in case anyone else was hoping to jump in on that kind of thing where Danny is an annoying, whiny twerp and all that.
So if someone wants to goof off with this 37 year old mom at sightseeing Bingo, pls join me. I try to post at least once a week, but for events like this, I can do a bit more than that depending on what's going on. I can't post in the middle of the week, but other than that it's not too bad, so that's my heads up <3
k so ignoring the post-rate disclaimer
hi I like really casual, goofy rps and I'd love for any character of any age to jump in and play Bingo with Luella. They can be buds that team up, rivals that compete to get the most in the shortest amount of time, or maybe we can come up with a small plot of our own where they get lost in town and break into an unused house to stay warm and parody a survival show until help arrives.
But you know. Totally casual, loose, and filled with good times.
New members/characters especially! If any of you check the recent posts, pls don't be shy and let me know if you're interested.
And if you are interested, let me know if you have any ideas to keep the thread going, cause I can only come up with so much all by myself.

LF SOCIAL MEDIA NERDS In order to catch the 411 on the flip side with today's cool young cats, Aqua has decided that social media is pretty aiight, and unlike back in the day, it's currently a great way to connect with a large and diverse group of people in a short amount of time. CHA-CHING!!! Aqua's now looking for some fine, fly dudes to set up an official Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Youtube channel, and they want all of them to look active. Peace out, scrubs. MEMBERS 1-3 REWARDS •10 + moderator powers in Aqua's media platforms (IC) CATCHING No LOCATION Social Media Boards NOTES Encourage public relations and make Aqua look good online.
Looking for someone to help Luella fail this Team Aqua mission.
They don't have to be a Team Aqua member, and I think it'd be pretty hilarious if they were some random tech person that volunteered to help with a vague request of hers to make these social pages she isn't all that familiar with. Luella doesn't understand technology as well as most characters on site, so expect lots of accidents where things get moved around and deleted, and people get tagged in the wrong thing, and other various disasters. She's genuinely learning and trying, but her pace can bother some impatient types.
It'd be majorly trolly if Luella and her partner made Aqua look worse by arguing (With the same account) on their own page, and gosh. I want such a mess. And for other Aqua members to see it and go "ohgodmakeitstop" and try to shut it down when they see it.
They don't have to know her personally, but it'd have another layer of fun if they knew her or met her at least once. I'd (probably) need permission to take this with characters affiliated other organizations, but that could encourage 'arguments over the webpage with the same account' shenanigans, and I'm a fan of that tbh.
Of course it can be an all-aqua mission too :^) Or people interested in interacting with aqua.
I want the mood of this thread to be pretty light-hearted, even if our characters end up hating each other.
I know there's templates out there that can help with this, but if not, for like the twitter one, we can goof off with the Twitter Generator and Facebook Generator. I'm pretty sure there's a tumblr and youtube template out there (Quix made one for YouTube!) that we could use, but idm making a private Tumblr for the sake of rping.
Remember that Luella's like, more into Aqua's public goals, and she's pretty limited about what she knows. She's #TeamAqua#rium hehe.

//OBSERVES DANNY GETTING DEMOLISHED BY A FULL SPEED PEPPER
SHIT.
No worries no worries
that to-do list is meant to help give people thread ideas that we'd all be open to c:
SO MY FIRST THOUGHT IS THAT (after you pointed it out on the cbox) SHE'S GONNA REMIND HIM OF AMBER. since she's like, his step-sister. The age + dragon thing will leave him curious about how far she's able to go, and he can either be a brat about it and be like "no, I can't have two ambers out there that are better than me stop that", or he could be encouraging about her ambitions as a dragon tamer because he'll have a grand ol' time bouncing off Pepper's fun energy and probably enjoy getting into mischievous antics with her.
Actually I thought it'd be good to give Danny some online friends, if you wanna have them do some kind of Twitter rp where they live tweet the stuff going on around them o:
but with the legendary effects event going on rn, we have a lot to play around with! Like. Like getting stranded somewhere in the rain, or Danny just casually flies through the air like Mary Poppins because his umbrella refuses to cooperate with the rain + wind.
Post by Pepper Bellerose on May 6, 2015 23:41:23 GMT -5
oh my gosh legendary effects yes
imagine danny getting blown away like mary poppins with an umbrella and casually plowing into pepper. or pepper's swablu getting picked up in a gust of wind and accidentally ramming full speed into danny and then pepper plows into him too because the wind was too strong for her to stop running. accidental injuries are the best ways to meet! and then they can take cover and talk about how cool dragon types are talk about... life stuff. how nice it would be to not get murdered by a killer storm/stray lightning bolt. you know, NORMAL PERSON STUFF
i would not be opposed to twitter shenanigans either but maybe after we have established the way they interact w/ each other a bit more
YEP. Oh god I just had this image of them being blown around, and while Danny is struggling to tame his umbrella while walking near Pepper, the wind keeps trying to blow the damn thing straight into Pepper's face like SMACK.
totally normal person stuff, which as a normal person birb, I can confirm.
I guess based on the legendary effects thread, it shouldn't be in Wizen/Iceburgh/Bayonada bc they got hit with blizzards + floods the worst. But the other cities would be fair game! It could also be in the Wilds as like, a halfway point between cities if they were traveling and got caught up in the storm.
Post by Pepper Bellerose on May 7, 2015 13:43:18 GMT -5
looking at our options it was mostly between shui city (where i already have one thread with her) and tyntill town where she hasn't technically been yet and so im THINKIN tyntill town. she could be staying out in the storm instead of taking cover specifically because her swablu blew away and like hell she wasn't gonna go chasing after it! swablu come back you can blame it all on pepper etc
