Only putting our own fun twist to it. Now, the source is going to be mystical in nature. So more stuff for the AI team to figure out. However, anyone can participate. Something will be delivered to a character which will start the events into motion. Basically its going to work like Cupid's arrow. It will affect memory and drive. Patient Zero will think they are madly in love with Person X. One Patient Zero kisses Person X, they will think they are in love with either Patient Zero or someone else entirely. It could be really hilarious to say the least. And who doesn't love knocking boots under mystical influences. Edited 6:58pm, February 21, 2006 by Soap Star, author. Soap Star 8:32pm, February 05, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] Also, this is happening in present time. This is happening NOW. This is mystical. However, this WILL be affecting storylines. What happens between the pairings is up to you and the other player. What happens after is up to you. But this should affect the current pairings, if nothing more than a "hey, we were all under the spell" thing to something more serious of a breakup or mistrust. Edited 6:59pm, February 21, 2006 by Soap Star, author. Specifics Soap Star 5:34pm, February 06, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] Okay, so a few people have come to me and they are a little confused about how this spell is going to work so I am going to explain it. While it was Dirty's idea to do this, I did work out the specifics so I know how the spell is going to work. After the little "rules", I will put up an example of what could happen. 1. The spell is transfered through kissing. Your character doesn't get kissed by someone infected, they aren't infected. 2. It doesn't alter their personality. If you character is shy and withdrawn, they will still be shy and withdrawn. That means that they might not end up kissing anyone to pass it along. 3. Alterations of memory would be that if they were in love with Bob, those memories would now make them think they are in love with Steve. Its not going to make them forget its Tuesday or they like strawberry jello. 4. HOWEVER, this spell does heighten the libido. Sort of the equivelent of Spanish Fly or lower inhibitions like a couple of drinks. Its a fail-safe for the creator to make sure that it gets spread around. BUT, it will not turn your character into a sex-crazed maniac. (Unless they already are. I am looking at you, Wes and Fred. And Chuck, Mr. 83 kids with 83 different broads) If your character had often dreamt about doing such and such, now they are more apt to do it (or who!) 5. Everyone has the right to refuse a pairing if they feel uncomfortable. So if you character is trying to mack on someone that does not want to be macked on, too bad. We aren't in the business of putting people in situations they don't want. 6. IF you want to suggest it goes further than kissing, that is between you and the other player. Kissing is all that is needed to infect someone so in reality, that is all that is needed. As usual, PG-13 rules apply to the room. So let's get on to the example. We have a few players: Aubrey and Warren, who are both impulsive types. Jayne and Mavin, little more reserved. Trish and Anton, middle of the road people. Now Aubrey is Patient Zero. She is the first person that is infected with the spell. Her and Mavin used to have a thing, some years ago. Suddenly, because of the spell, Aubrey decides that yes! They were soulmates and she should have never let him get away. Being impulsive, she kisses Mavin. Passing the spell to him. Now Mavin is pretty reserved but hell, when she kisses him, he feels like she is right. So he kisses her right on back. And you know what happens next. Mavin's got to go home sometime. When he does, well he does live with Jayne. Simple hello kiss from her and she is infected, he is confused. He wants to be with Aubrey. Meanwhile, Aubrey is off at Bliss, chatting it up with Trish. She figures, hey, I have never done the girl girl thing before. So an innocent dance with Trish turns into a full scale bump and grind. But Trish feels strange so no kiss. Trish stays uninfected for now. Jayne is the reserved type so instead of going out and meeting someone to pass the spell too, she stays locked up at home, wondering why all the people she loves, doesn't love her back. Jayne doesn't infect anyone else. Mavin, while reserved, does run into another one of his past affections in Bliss. A moonlight walk and a goodnight kiss on the doorstep transfers the spell to unknowning town bike, Ophelia. And she just goes buck wild because she always has! Now, once the spell is taken care of, this is when the real drama is going to start. Does Aubrey think that Mavin was serious about getting together? Does Trish explore a new side to her sexuality? Does Jayne realize that this was mystical and forgives Mavin. And what about Warren? I hope that this clears it up for everyone and if not, please, IM me. Mike does not know about this spell. Its all me and my idea. Just keep in mind that this spell doesn't change the basic dynamic of your character and you will be fine. :) Edited 8:12pm, February 06, 2006 by Soap Star, author.

Soap Star 5:08pm, February 16, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] I talked to our control person last night, the one that will be unaffected and will work on the antidote. They will probably start working on the antidote soonish. So that means we probably have another week, give or take, for this plot. Mike and I are going to start the Five Questions of it either tomorrow or this weekend. As in, why is this happening? Who is behind it? How did they do it? etc. If anyone wants to be involved in the whole finding of the antidote, perferably someone who is not affected, contact me and I will put you in contact with the control character. They are staying a relative secret for now until we reveal why they are the control and who they are. Basically, if you want your char to get infected, you have a week. So IM or PM someone who is infected and see if they are down. Just keep in mind the specifics of the spell. :) Soap Star 1:04am, February 22, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] (I cleaned the topic up somewhat) Okay, this is the last call. If your character has not been infected yet and you want them to be infected, you have until Friday. That is it. Cause the antidote should be done and administered by this weekend. Yes, by this weekend. Get scenes played out and storylines going ASAP. Also, if you have a character that was infected off screen, you have to let us know. In addition, any relationships that might have been talked about over AIM or happened off screen, just need a little note. Can be either IC or OOC. And you need to make sure you clear it with the other player. You can't just say "Oh yeah, well Caleb and Gerri, totally had sex cause I said so." Nope. Sorry. Again, not going to force anyone into anything they don't feel comfortable with. The list of infected is up there. You want to participate in this plot, IM or PM someone. Got until Friday cause come Monday, everyone will be cured. :) Soap Star 9:26pm, February 25, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] Also posted under More You Know thread. Sometime, around 3pm PST on Saturday February 25, 2006, the City of St. Solanus enacted pollution measures by spraying a fine mist of detoxifier to the air. Citizens should not be alarmed. The mist is harmless and in fact, smells like mint. The process will be repeated again on Sunday February 26, 2006 at the same time. (Or at least, this is what citizens should believe. In reality, it was the antidote for the love spell. If you have any characters who were outside or well, breathing today or tomorrow, they have been cured. In addition, Angel snuck into the water treatment plant before dawn and dosed the water supply with the antidote. So any drinking of the town's water in the next week will cure your character as well. There are no effects for those who were not exposed to the love spell)  Wildfire X 8:22pm, February 13, 2009 [Edit] [Delete] WILDFIRE! Soap Star 10:30pm, April 21, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] (starting off the wildfire plot, a few different news articles will be posted in the next few days as we build anticipation. Today's is a real article from CNN) Drought spurs fears of active wildfire season By Manav Tanneeru CNN (CNN) -- A persistent drought, coupled with unseasonably high temperatures and gusty winds, have led to a record number of wildfires this year, and weather and fire officials say conditions are ripe for more activity this spring. From January 1 through March 22, more than 17,000 wildfires have been reported, with 1.5 million-plus acres burned across the country, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. The number of fires eclipses the five-year average of slightly more than 11,000 fires for the same period. The acreage burned this year is triple the 549,866 acres of 2000, the previous high in the last six years. Weather and fire officials said they fear what has occurred in Texas and Oklahoma, where the greatest damage has been reported so far this year, could be a preview of what is possible for wide swaths of the Southwest and Great Plains over the next few months. In Texas, at least 11 fatalities were blamed on the fires, and eight towns had to be evacuated in early March, according to Justice Jones of the Texas Forest Service. Rainfall over the past few years helped to grow the grasses and underbrush in the state, Jones said. However, the drought and lack of moisture over the winter dried out the grasses, making them ready fuel for fires. As a result, "the entire state is experiencing unusual fire behavior," with outbreaks more intense and wide-ranging than normal, Jones said. The U.S. wildfire season is year-round, with certain regions more vulnerable to fires during different parts of the year. The regions most vulnerable are the Southwest, Southern Plains, Florida, and Southern California. A seasonal outlook by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, issued in conjunction with the National Interagency Fire Center, listed the potential as above normal from February to June for those regions. During that same period, the potential for fires is either average or below average for the Northeast, Northwest, Northern Plains and much of the South. In late summer and fall, the potential for fires will increase for the Northwest, parts of the Rocky Mountains, Michigan and Wisconsin, weather experts said. La Niña blamed for dry weather Effects from La Niña, a term used to describe cold weather conditions in the eastern Pacific Ocean, contributed to the unusually dry weather, said Douglas Leconte, a NOAA drought specialist. Drought conditions are expected to continue through June for the Southwest and Southern Plains and may expand into Kansas and parts of Colorado, according to NOAA's seasonal drought outlook. The drought also may persist in parts of the Eastern Seaboard, including North Carolina and Maryland. Some storms have pushed through the Southwest and Plains in recent weeks, including a system that brought snow, heavy rain and flooding to areas of Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and Texas on March 20, the last day of winter. But it may be too late to change the conditions in place for the fire season, experts said. "The rain and snow arrived too late to offset the impacts from months of record dry weather across the Southwest, resulting in the continuing potential for a dangerous fire season," retired Air Force Brig. Gen. David L. Johnson, director of the NOAA National Weather Service, said in a statement. CNN meteorologist Chad Meyers added: "You need storm after storm after storm to help out this drought situation. You can't get one rain on one weekend. That's not going to relieve the drought." Wildfires sometimes avoidable National Interagency Fire Center spokeswoman Rose Davis said that having the conditions for a possibly active wildfire season doesn't necessarily mean one will occur. "You need ignition sources," she said, referring to lightning, abandoned campfires, fireworks, hunting camps in the fall or careless behavior such as lit cigarettes tossed out of car windows. "We thought last year the Northwest was in serious, serious shape, but they just didn't have the ignitions," she said. Most of the Texas fires earlier this year are being blamed on "accidental starts," Jones said, though lightning also caused some. Jones said he believes wildfires are inevitable in certain parts of the country, much like some places lie in flood plains and are prone to flooding every time heavy rains occur. "Ecosystems in Texas have evolved with fires being a part of that. What the difference is that there are homes now being built in the path of those fires that are occurring and have occurred for millennia," he said. "What we're focusing on doing as an agency is helping communities get prepared for wildfires and living in harmony with those fires that are inevitable." X 4:32pm, April 23, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] 5 college students could be charged in wildfire Group spotted near cabin before blaze, but no arrests yet By Jules Koltz Five Bevel University students suspected of igniting a still as yet uncontained wildfire this weekend could face arson charges. No arrests have been made in connection with the blaze Saturday that forced residents in the Sky Haven and Sky Village neighborhoods to evacuate in the middle of the night. But on Sunday morning during a press conference, the St. Solanus Police Force said the group could face fourth-degree arson, trespassing, criminal mischief and tampering charges. The criminal charges will depend on the extent of their involvement, Chief Marla Kincaid said. The five, three males and two females, were spotted by a Sky Haven resident two hours before the fire, trespassing on private property. The homeowner called authorities, giving them an early lead about who might have started the fire that burned through the night and appears to be giving the St. Solanus Fire Department trouble with containment. The five were reportedly near an old, abandoned cabin that burned to the ground. In the past, other teenaged and college aged students have been held responsible for starting wildfires in the state. In October, for example, two 15-year-old boys were charged with arson after Humboldt County investigators said they had started a 175-acre fire a month earlier. The blaze, near Willow Creek, destroyed a cabin and came within yards of homes. In that incident, the sheriff's office reported, the boys ignited leftover Fourth of July fireworks. One teen suffered a minor burn while they tried to put out the flames with water and Red Bull, an investigator said. In another case, two 15-year-old Riddle Rock High School students, smoking marijuana behind the school, were convicted of starting the 2000 Cedar Glen fire. The flames scorched more than 1,300 acres, forcing nearly 800 Crest Park-area homes to evacuate. Victims of the Cedar Glen fire filed restitution claims totaling $1.9 million. Firefighting costs were estimated at $2.5 million. Jeff Buhr and Conrad Voeller were found guilty and placed on two years' probation. They were ordered to receive substance-abuse counseling, perform 1000 hours of community service, write letters of apology to the victims, participate in a fire safety course and attend family therapy sessions with their parents. Nearly a year ago, the California Court of Appeals partially overturned their convictions, saying the judge's ruling was unclear and sent the case back to him for clarification.

Bliss, Starbucks, the clubs, the university, etc. California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection: Fire Safe X 6:23pm, April 26, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] Firefighters not gaining ground Wildfire scorches thousands of acres, several homes Firefighters in St. Solanus are making no headway Wednesday as they tried to gain control of a raging wildfire northwest of Los Angeles that has scorched thousands of acres. By late Tuesday, the blaze was only 5 percent contained. So far, the efforts have not paid off. Over two dozen cabins have been damaged or destroyed by the fire, officials said. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger flew over the affected area Monday, after getting briefed on the latest information on the fires. Later at a press conference, he said he was impressed with the work so far, and thanked authorities and firefighters for their hard work, saying: "They are doing such a heroic job working day and night to put this fire out." The cause is believed to be arson caused by five teenagers who were seen sneaking into an abandoned cabin over the weekend. Mandatory evacuations were issued hours after the blaze began this weekend, and the evacuations spread as the fire expanded. About 500 people were evacuated from the surrounding areas, according to a statement posted on Ventura County's Web site. Officials are still concerned that the fire could jump the ridge, endangering St. Solanus on the coast and other areas where thousands of upscale properties are located. "We wanted to set up contingency plan because we did not want this fire to jump and continue on to what we call the 'Great Fire Break' which is the Pacific Ocean because it has done that before," David Tolman, Fire Chief for the Ventura County Fire Department, said Monday. Los Angeles County and Ventura County have each declared a state of local disaster to formalize aid with other agencies and to help recoup the costs of fighting the massive fire. The fire more than tripled in size from this weekend to Tuesday evening. X 8:01pm, April 29, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] Breaking news at this 5 o'clock hour. The wildfire that has been burning for seven days and already destroyed over 1500 acres, has jumped from the National Forest and into more heavily populated residential areas just outside of St. Solanus. The St. Solanus Police and Fire Departments have issued a voluntary evacuation for the following areas due to the wildfire: As far north as 10th street, as far south as 5th street, as far east as Truman and as far west as Ocean Cliff Drive. This affects residents in areas such as Forest Oaks and beach homes on San Luis and Cedar Beach. Police are encourging all residents to evacuate now. It is expected that they will issue a manatory evacuation order late Sunday evening. X 4:55pm, May 01, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] This is Big Steve on your FM dial with The Chaos Crew.

Firefighters have managed to contain the fire that was burning to the east of town before it could spread to the industrial park. However, the damage to local businesses on the docks as well as residents of Leeman Estates and Sin Esperanza Apartments was extensive. The fire is still burning to the Northwest and heading fast towards the center of town. Residents and businesses in the Infinity Acres and Casa Del Sol Apartment areas are being put under a manatory evacuation.

Thew firefighters are totally getting it under control and they should have it completely out by the end of the week. Its just like little moni-fires all over. Which is so dumb. But the police are so onto whoever did it. They came into my sociology class, pulling people out to question them. I was so worried they were there for me because I totally had half an ounce in my backpack. Which I need to get some more so I need to be calling up my guy. Once they catch them, I think thsy should give them a medal. Becuase fires help the world. It burns the old stuff and then stuff can grow. Too bad all the new stuff is going to be houses and all that junk. NEwaz, it didn't burn down Starbucks, which sucks. It means I still have to go to work wuith bitchy mcbitchface. It did get like half of the Casa Del Sol apartments so all the college and emo kids were like all whining in Starbucks like "I don't have a place to live." If you can afford Casa del sol, mom and dad can get you a new place. Or sleep in your Lexus, fool! Fire got to the police station too and that creepy old church near the park. I am glad it bured the pigs. Do I smell bacon? BAAAAAACON! Just a shame that fire is going to be out in a couple of days. Would love to see those pigs fry. Shit, I am late for work.

However, it comes with some conditions: 1. The new Slayers and Watchers will not be registered 2. They will be killed sometime in August 3. You should be able, as a player, to interact with AI members as much as possible before you get killed 4. Before you play the new Slayer or Watcher for the first time, you have to give Mike and I a quick heads up. Just basic stuff. Don't put too much time into it because well, they are going to die The idea is that we want the AI registered characters to get really attached to these characters before they are killed, so the deaths affect them more. This would be a great opportunity for someone who doesn't have a lot of time to just pop in, strike up conversation, and leave. So have fun. And if you have an idea for how you want your character killed, feel free to bring it up and we will fit it in. We are also going to need some people to play the demon army that is going to brutually and I mean brutually slaughter these people. And be directed by The First. So kill or be killed if you like.

Which means I will need people to play some NPC demon army and people will be expected to play their own opponents as well. I know for sure it will have to be after 5pm PST because of Fluffer. I want this week to be about plotting and wrapping up the loose ends of the Slayers that are still alive. I think also, in the confusion, if its okay with Dirt and Fluffer, Dru can nap William/Spike to take us into the next arc of play. For plot purposes, the only real "set" pointis that the final battle needs to take down at the top of Ocean Cliff Drive. We need Ocean + Cliff. LOL Now then, as I was typing this, I had an idea. Would it be easier if everyone played as they could this week with who was there with the intent of coming up with a way to take The First down. Then we can post it here and just say IC there was a big discussion whereas we, as players, can pick one through a board vote? Open for discussion either here, in the room, or on a msger. Just let me know. 2 cents Audience Liaison 6:18pm, August 28, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] Either works. I'm around off and on most evenings, not Friday-- of course. This weekend marks the big Anniversary of My Existance and I'll be heading off to be all party like sometimes Friday afternoon and coming back sometime Sunday. -edit- *points below* I'm about this weekend 9/9-9/10 I believe. Tuesdays are a great day for me this semester, because it's a day off and also the day The Dude teaches in the evening. -/edit- Edited 2:48pm, September 04, 2006 by Audience Liaison, author. Well Personal Asswhooper 3:15pm, September 04, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] Weekends tend to work better for me just because I know for certain I'll be able to stay on as long as needed though I can do weekdays if it better fits the group but my time won't be certain. Usually though I'm around for most of the weekdays. Other than that I don't got much to put in, sorry. Big Battle plus Cliff always seems awesome in my book. Soap Star 4:46pm, September 06, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] Okay guys...I picked a date since now everyone is dead that needs to be dead. Fluffer can unfortunately not make it on the weekends because she doesn't have net access. I know AL has gaming usually Friday nights, Dirt has his Girls. I am hoping that tomorrow at 6pm works for everyone. If not, we can move it to Monday. I figured that a little lack of sleep for Dirt on a Friday is better than lack of sleep on a Tuesday. LOL Basically, we can start out at AI and movie magic up to the cliff to get the battle on. Or we can start out at AI during the day and then in the evening, already be at the cliffs. Everyone needs to be responsible for their own demons. The First will be having a good sized group with it. So how does that work? You can just post your character's actions and the demon's actions in the same post. Here is the rundown of who needs to be there, or rather, who we'd like there, what they are doing. If you have a lot of characters to play, just give a heads up at the start. They can be NPCed of just fighting and wounds can be figured out later: Buffy: Beating on The First to weaken it Faith: Demon beating Verity: Demon beating Vincent (if he is up for it): Demon beating Oz: Demon beating Connor: Demon beating Fred: Long range demon beating Angel: Keeping anything and everything away from Willow and Wes Willow: Not fighting since she will be saving up energy to do the spell to put The First in the urn Wes: Mild fighting with guns but helping Willow with the spell Staying at AI: Charlie Lorne Up in the air (they can fight if they want or stay behind if they like): Xander Alfred  The Judge X 8:25pm, February 13, 2009 [Edit] [Delete] The Judge (AI) Soap Star 2:55pm, September 03, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] Hey all! We hope to have The First plot tied up no later than the end of next week. If you haven't already left some times to play, please do it now on the other thread. I think we have a very good means to defeat The First, so we are going with what the chars came up with. For mid-September until mid-October, we are going to be running two seperate plots for 'Verse characters. I need at least two, preferably four people to play some long term vampires. Long term as in, a month. I want these vamps to go after some townsfolk, really shake things up for people at AI. The two that I HAVE to have are basically two cowboy redneck type vampires. You have someone in a cowboy hat, that works. That is the extent of what I am saying here. (I like to keep surprises). The other two that aren't neccessary would be two females but I will give specifics on that to whoever answers here or AIM me. The second plot is going to be Soulless!Spike all back in black. I imagine him and Dru will be raising some serious Hell in St. Solanus, maybe literally. I am not sure what Fluffer and PA have planned for them yet. I am going to give them both some ideas and a gentle nudge. I don't mind some surprises too. Spike won't be turned until after The First is done with. But here is how its going to play out. Anyone from Sunnyhell (Buffy, Faith, Willow, Xander, Anya) will be going after Spike and Dru. Its going to be headed up by Buffy and she is going to call the shots as far as Spike. Buffy (as far as a player) is very responsible and I know she will guide you all into a great plot. Of course, I will be there, again, to nudge. I am good with the nudging. The second plot, called The Judge (not the one from Buffy), is going to be for Angel Investigations (Angel, Wesley, Fred). They won't need a witch. They will just need their brains. They will also have to deal with the human fallout of vampire attacks, spinning it, dealing with the cops, etc. That still leaves us with three members of the team that are unaccounted for, Vincent, Alfred, and Charlie. I will be tossing Charlie into the Judge plot to help spin things. Vincent's player and Alfred's player can decide which category they want to fall into. So as I start to get the ball rolling on these two plots, I need to know who wants to play a slightly more than temp vampire (need at least two for the plot) and who from both groups is in. So you can leave a post here or catch me on AIM, its almost always on. Soap Star 4:54am, September 08, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] Okay, I asked Mike to play one of the cowboy redneck type vampires that will be working with The Judge. Now I just need one more and maybe, if I can get two girls, that would great. So hit me up if interested. I think probably it would be good for the 'Verse teams to take a breather for the weekend and next week, we can get rolling with the Spike and Judge plots. Soap Star 3:04am, September 12, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] I have talked to Buffy and Fluffer, both of which have agreed to be the females for this plot. Dirt is going to take up the other cowboy vampire. HOWEVER! If you had your heart set on this plot, AIM me. I will get you a part.  Buffy/Angel Thread X 8:44pm, February 13, 2009 [Edit] [Delete] Buffy/Angel Plot Thread Soap Star 7:07pm, December 30, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] Well, we have plot threads for House and Smallville so about time that the BTVS/ATS folks got their own too. So this is basically how it is going to go for the next few months in terms of all room plots that any one can participate in regarding these two canons. In Jan, as soon as schedules settle down, we are going to have some characters get sucked through time back to the 70s. Why the 70s? Cause it is one of my fave decades, that is why. LOL The tenative plan is for at least Charlie and Buffy right now. I need to know who else would like to get sucked through. Mike has offered to play the guy that Buffy falls for so AL, get with him so he can make your dream man. The specifics of the hows or whys of the time portal haven't been totally hammered out. We were hoping, if it is okay with Zips, that Willow could be doing some spell and it goes haywire. If that is not okay, it can always be Fred, working on a new invention. Let us know ASAP about who wants to get sucked through. For Feb, I know we did the love spell last year and that was a huge success. If you guys want to do it again, we can. Or we can do something like a giant memory spell like Tabula Rasa where people don't remember who they are with. Or they could have altered memories. Or even a shift so everyone thinks they are in the past (ie Buffy and Angel still together, Spike and Dru tearing up town, Willow all straight and shy, Fred pot smoking nutter). Totally up for votes. For March, Fluffer and I have come up with a new Big Bad that I don't want to reveal here. BUT, because we are going to need a lot of PCed victims and bads for this plot, I might have to tweak the rules for participation. If you want to participate in the March plot, you have to play at least one big bad character, and three fodder chars. As March gets closer, I will write more on it as we hammer out details. For April, Every April, we do a natural diaster in the room. Right around tax day. We have done fire and earthquake so far. This year, we are going to give St. Solanus a rest...in a way. We are going to do a diaster of a different sort in that we are going to greenlight PA's post-apocolypse plot. That will be the whole month of April, just as if we had a flood or whatever. More details on that will come when we get closer to April. So this thread is now open for discussion. First and foremost, I need to know who wants to go to the 70s with Buffy and Charlie and which Valentine's Day plot sounds the best to you. Offering up magical disasters! Zippy 4:10am, December 31, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] Willow's powers are way out there now and she can't control them, so... haywire spells are always blameable... also blameable: renegade glances, weird dreams... maybe Willow has some dream about the town and makes it come true... some lovey dovey hippy town or a worst fears sort of thing. we can definitely talk about it and try to brainstorm... Alissa Monroe 5:13am, December 31, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] I'm willing to get involved in a plot. I really want to play, and I am not that picky. Of course, you know I'm all in Audience Liaison 6:38am, December 31, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] I don't hear anything that sounds bad there, to me, and of course you know I'll kill or die for you any number of times. Can I just squee over the 70s for a minute? LOL I'm so glad we're actually doing that, and Buffy will so get her Kirk on (yes, I do look for shatner references in EVERYTHING! We're so Edith Keelering!) which gets another squee. She has to get over Spike somehow, yeah? I'm really torn ATM, but leaning towards the Lost Memories/Tabula Rosa thing... just this second. It's a delicate lean, ever so slight. Alissa Monroe 7:48am, January 01, 2007 [Edit] [Delete] For the plot with the big bad, I've got a bad guy and a few victims, I'd love to be a part of that IM me on AIM. magickly nikcool Zippy 4:43am, January 03, 2007 [Edit] [Delete] Um. Maybe like... a valentine's thing... willow's all making romance potions for the couples and... gets them mixed up. I dunno, some magic sneeze and... Buffy's digging faith, Angel's got it for Fred, whatnot. I'm on meds though so that might be stupid!  Valentine's Day X 8:46pm, February 13, 2009 [Edit] [Delete] Thread for Valentine's Day Valentine's Day Soap Star 5:28pm, January 14, 2007 [Edit] [Delete] Hey all, We are going to do a Masquerade Ball for VD this year, little fundraiser, little fun. Formal dress and masks. However, at the same time, this is when Willow is going to work her voodoo she do so well and people's memories are going to be erased. If you want a character's COMPLETE memory erased, I am talking everything down to their name, leave the character name(s) here just so we have a rough idea and we can start to form side plots from that before it happens. Thanks! Soap Star 5:29pm, January 14, 2007 [Edit] [Delete] And ANY character can participate: original, Smallville, whatever. It doesn't have to have any relation to BTVS/ATS. There is already a plan in place for how the humans are going to explain it. :) Who's In? Audience Liaison 10:38pm, January 14, 2007 [Edit] [Delete] Well you know me... Always game... So who's NOT in is more the question, and I haven't decided anyone, yet. So all in. EDIT: Well I think I'm removing Kate (girl needs to observe the wacky from the outside), Spice and Autumn Edited 12:01pm, February 04, 2007 by Audience Liaison, author. Fluffer 2:20am, January 16, 2007 [Edit] [Delete] Kiera,Faith, Dru, Mary. Daneel too what the hell. Writer 8:27pm, January 22, 2007 [Edit] [Delete] I'll volunteer Miles. Well Personal Asswhooper 9:02pm, January 22, 2007 [Edit] [Delete] Since Spike already lost his recently I think I'll keep him out of this but... Bart, Cole, Oz, Dean, Jesse, Joshua, and Vincent are good though. Unless because of the memory spell done in the past Spike is part of it anyways....which in that case he's cool to be erased. Edited 10:09pm, January 22, 2007 by Personal Asswhooper, author. Hum Hair Stylist 2:14am, January 30, 2007 [Edit] [Delete] I think Spencer would be good for this. Soap Star 7:55pm, February 03, 2007 [Edit] [Delete] You have until Feb. 9 to sign up. On the 10th, I will be posting details and starting on the 12th, people can begin to post at the Masquerade Ball or where ever they are when they lose their memory. Zippy 6:39pm, February 04, 2007 [Edit] [Delete] who do I have...? Amy's a yes, Julie's a yes, Harmony's a yes... Will's involved but not affected memory-wise.... Soap Star 4:05am, February 11, 2007 [Edit] [Delete] Okay, here is how it is going to go down, after talking to Zips and working out a few kinks here and there. Willow and Oz will naturally be attending the party. Now because Zips works and Dirt has school, they don't have to be right there when you decide to have your character lose their memory. Starting on Valentines Day and running until, well, we feel like people have had enough time, there will be a little heart icon up for the Masquerade Ball. That is where it is happening. You can use that icon at any point to play out the memory loss. Because a couple of people came to me on IM, we decided that it won't be a complete memory loss unless you want it to be. Your character has to lose at least 3 years though, since that is how long we have been open. The more, the better though. Also, it doesn't mean your character has to lose their memory in order to gain the repressed memories. At the end of it, when Willow does the final end of spell, all those hidden corners of the mind will be opened up. This is a great chance for character development. Might I suggest remembering past abuse, trauma, maybe even...murder? Now until Willow can undo the spell, there is something simple that characters can do to get their memories back. I am not going to tell you at this time. If I see your character do it, you will get a PM or an AIM msg stating that when they wake up tomorrow, their memory will be restored. And no, it won't be dancing in pudding or something silly. If there are any sideplots you want to play out during this big plot, please contact myself or Mike. I know Zips has one with Willow. Fluffer has one with Kiera. That is all I have so far, outside of Spike and Angel getting memories back. Anything else that might need to be played back in a flashback, let one of us know. Any other questions, this is the thread for it. :) Soap Star 5:41am, February 15, 2007 [Edit] [Delete] The spell is done. I won't force anyone to go back in the logs and read but long story short. Willow goes into one of the ladies rooms. It is abandoned. She does the spell but something goes wrong. Huge firey explosion comes out of the ladies room along with a thick smoke. The smoke targets certain people, hits them in the head, and then memory loss. There was a slow song playing right before it and then chaos erupted. Just keep that in mind. Icon will be up for about a week. Soap Star 12:13am, March 18, 2007 [Edit] [Delete] After a month, the memory spell plot is over. Willow cast the undo spell and now everyone's memories are back. If they had any sort of memory blocks before, they are gone now. Any sort of past events, it is all back and in full force. Thanks to the people who participated. It was a blast. :)  March/April Plot X 8:47pm, February 13, 2009 [Edit] [Delete] March/April Plot Soap Star 12:19am, March 24, 2007 [Edit] [Delete] As it was laid out before, we are going to start our next little sideplot for the room. Mike and I discussed it and we are going to be removing Charlie/Angel to another plot, away from St. Solanus. Why? To give everyone else a chance to be the stars this time. We are going to be taking over the roles of several NPCs (along with Fluffer since this idea sprung out of a phone conversation we had together). Everyone who wants to participate, you are going to have to participate. You will have to play, talk to the NPCs, etc. You'll be responsible for evidence gathering, coming to a conclusion. We'll be making sure you have plenty of little clues. We can't play for you. While this is a more supernaturally driven plot this time, anyone can interact with the NPCs, gather evidence, be victims!, etc. We want to make sure that everyone gets a chance in this. So look for those unregistered characters, alerts on the board, etc. It will be up to everyone to figure it all out. Also, don't forget that on Tax Day, like every year, we will unviel our natural diaster plot. This year it will be the post-Apocolypse plot though instead of an earthquake or fire like we had the two years before. X 7:25pm, March 24, 2007 [Edit] [Delete] Information about the missing guys.

While Hong Kong and China are experiencing the Spring Aquarids meteor shower, residents of St. Solanus had an opportunity to catch what scientists are calling a rare event. An unnamed and unexpected meteor shower denser and brighter than any on record. "This time of year on the other side of the world, people are able to see the aquarids," Dr. Dan Steele, Professor of Astronomy at Bevel University said, continuing, "Though they are not as brilliant or well known as the Leonids, those showers typically last three hours and begin around midnight. The shower in St. Solanus is far brighter than Leonids even as well as lasting nearly six hours now, with no signs of stopping. It is an amazing phenomenon." Dr. Steele went on to say that the best observation time is from midnight to 3am. Dozens of shooting starts may appear are appearing from all directions. With the absense of the moon, it will only increase the visiblity since we are looking at clear skies well into this week and the upcoming weekend. The best spots are the bluff at Ocean Cliff Drive, Cedar Beach, and any location away from city lights. Though we are assured that even within city limits, the meteors will be bright enough to be seen. It's best to watch with the naked eye as telescopes can't keep up. Make sure you get out there and make a wish, right after our special report on what product sitting in your fridge can kill you. Soap Star 11:53pm, May 05, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] The plot: For the next week there will be an icon in the room, . This icon means that your character is viewing the meteor shower and is making a wish. Any character that makes a wish during the shower the next week, that wish will come true. It just may not come true in the way exactly that you think. Because really, what fun is that? Zips and I are spear heading this plot so if you want to wish but find yourself lacking ideas, IM/PM one of us and we will work it out with you. If your character wishes during this week, you need to copy/paste it and put it on this thread. This is so Zips and I can come up with the best course of action to make your character's wish come true. We are hoping the wishes won't be completely self contained but will provide lots of plot opportunities for everyone. If your wish affects other characters (ie. bringing someone back from the dead, making someone love you) or the room as a whole (ie they were never born, lemurs rule the earth), you need to clear it with the owner of the affected character. If it affects the room, you need to contact me. Not all wishes will turn out well. It is a roll of the dice. So be careful what you wish for. :) Edited 2:47am, May 09, 2008 by Soap Star, author. Willow's Wish X 5:39pm, May 06, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] 8fe, Willow Rosenberg : *I don't know where she isssss! Player slept horribly though. Got up three times in confused dazed and got totally dressed for work before realizing the sun wasn't even up yet, idiot. I'm poppin' this wishing thing's cherry! I've never done THAT before! So, she was laid up where ever the heck she landed via Spike's rare and possibly sex-forced form of mercy carrying. Blinking hurt so moving any great lengths wasn't going to happen. She might be able to poof because she could feel things again but at this point she didn't trust herself to do anything because her magic didn't feel entirely hers. She'd try to poof to the kitchen and end up stuck in that carnival hell dimension and get eaten. That is not a good plan. She turns her head with mucho effort to peek out the window and stare at the pretty streaking lights.* Huh. Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket... *She mutters, which makes sense to her, being all concussed and such.* When you wiiish upon a staaaar... *We all know from a certain episode that at least ONE of the Scoobies should never be scripted to sing. Mmhmm. She lifts her head to ask something and then cringes, dropping it back down and sighing, because she remembered Buffy and Spike were out doing whatever the hell it was that Buffy and Spike did and that makes her achey self sniffle.* Oww. Shoot. Oz is a freaking bajillion miles away in Tibet and he's going to be pissed and suspicious forever... I just wish I didn't feel so lonely. I want someone to not keep running away... *And that bit of conscious lost just about zaps her bruised brain. Whomp!

Amidst the childish ooohs and ahhhs from both of the Summers girls, Buffy decides not to mention the Queller incident-- Joyce probably wouldn't understand, anyway. She wonders if Spike had time to check the pretty lights out or if he's off sneaking around pretending he isn't worried about Angel.*You know, Joy... if you make a wish on a star it's supposed to come true. *Kid may or may not hear, she's running around like she might catch one if she stands in just the right place.* Like... *Buffy's stomach growls and she reaches into a paper bag, coming up empty.

Their conversation weighed heavily on her mind. She got out of bed, making her way out to the balcony of the condo. They'd be moving soon, she knew that. Zach had been hinting about getting them a house for a wedding present. She moved to the railing, holding it with both hands. The night air was crisp and clear, the shooting stars blazing through the sky. Despite the city lights, she could see them clearly. She just sighed, looking skyward* Hey up there. Its Kelly. I just wanted to let you know that um, I am trying down here. Helping people, making them feel good, that kind of stuff. It would be great if you could help me out. Connor says it doesn't matter but I heard his voice. It matters. *she lowered her gaze. She watched the meteors cut patterns in the dark sky for a few moments more before speaking again* I wish for a miracle. *she said softly, leaning over to rest her head against the railing. She closed her eyes, taking in deep lungfuls of the night air* I wish for a miracle. *she said again before sighing, standing up, and going back inside to try to sleep* ETA: HAS BEEN PLOTTED OUT AND AGREED ON BY PLAYERS Edited 4:53am, May 07, 2008 by X, author.

And to be a better person.*She opens her eyes again, scoots her butt in the sand to dig a place so she can lay back with mina on her chest to watch the rest of the meteor shower. She frees one of Mina's arms and waves it, speaking low to her.*Say I love you Daddy, look *Mina makes bubbly baby noises, they both wave.

He smiled down at her then left her room. He stepped outside, looking up at the night time sky he saw the meteor shower. How brilliant it was. He suddenly felt that familiar loneliness again and wished there was some one there to fill it and make him whole again.* ETA: HAS BEEN PLOTTED OUT AND AGREED ON BY PLAYERS Edited 5:02pm, May 07, 2008 by Soap Star, moderative.

He didn't know how much longer he could keep this up, seeing doctors. They are all saying the same thing...he's healthy. He's cured, no more tumor...but she just won't accept it. He knew she was angry at him for what he did years ago and only wished she could understand. He didn't have the ability to go to college like she did. There wasn't any real jobs to be had back home. He did what he felt he had to do and while in the service he was damn good at his job. He just wished that she could see through it all, forgive him and they could fall in love all over again.* ETA: HAS BEEN PLOTTED OUT AND AGREED ON BY PLAYERS Edited 5:02pm, May 07, 2008 by Soap Star, moderative.

If she were the kind of person who said such things, she'd say that her time here in St. Solanus would fall under the category of EPIC FAIL. First there had been that Kent man and his frightening bald friend... and he'd since fallen off the face of the earth leaving her with a half dozen defective clones and no answers. The thing with the dogs wasn't working out. Her sistter wasn't any better off than she had been. The recent plague had seemed promising, but she hadn't been able to get near the bottom of it any more than she'd found anything helpful in looking into that Bourne fellow.* When we were little, Tina, before it all turned to crap... and ...*Natasha fixed her gaze on one particular meteor and wiped tears away.* I wish I may, I wish I might...*whispering* Everything should be safe.

She watched the babies, and turned up to offer to do errands. Buffy had to think she was the worst suck up or something. Melaka was NOT that person. She was a half-assed Slayer and a first-class thief and she broke everything she touched.* I was supposed to fix this shit. *She starts throwing the handfull of rocks she'd gathered off of the cliff and out into the ocean one at a time. As soon as her Willow watch had been over she'd run off. She wouldn't even know if she did things right. Hell, she might just disappear any day, because she wouldn't exist would she? Worst thing: Melaka was really starting to get attached to this time. Things were cleaner and everyone knew what they were there for. THUMP! With a quick hop, Mel sat on the edge and looked up, falling to her back. The falling stars were pretty.*Back home, no way I'd have seen this... I wish I belonged /here/...

She would like everyone and anyone to know that her groin was in superpainful condition from the yoga and tai chi and pilates and friggin ballet classes she'd been taking here, not to mention the fact that she finally got the cast off of her leg and replace with an equally immobile but velcoed split only to trip and rug burn her face on the floor. Theeeen there's the Healing By Music and the Art Therapy and the... good lord, she went to a goddamn seminar where a woman talked for 42 minutes about spirit animals and shaked a gourd filled with dry rice. As annoying and asinine it all was, she was trying here, and her groin was paying mightily. She finally was able to settle into her bed after dinner, rubbing at her inner thigh which would look terribly wrong to anyone looking but felt terribly right to her sore and busted muscles. She groans and tilts her head back, staring out the window to look at the meteors a'flowing.* Ha... We used to wish on those things when we were little. *She shifts a little, turning her body a little bit to the side, letting out a quiet breath.* I'm just feeling a little useless... that's it. That's all. I just want to feel useful. Like I've done something that matters... like... like I'm doing something that matters to someone, somewhere. *She pauses and then shrugs, flicking the bar on her window and then rolling her eyes at her reflection.* ETA: HAS BEEN PLOTTED OUT AND AGREED ON BY PLAYERS Edited 10:13pm, May 07, 2008 by Soap Star, moderative.

She turned around, calling* Jacob? Jacob! *she was watching as the sky darkened by the streaks of meteors continued across the sky. She had to call the local news.

Wishes like that, they never came true.* I tell you, if I was working for ABC...*she trailed off* I wish I could show them some REAL storylines. *of course, when she makes the wish, it is purely for her own amusement and she can't help smiling before yelling again* Jacob!

It's so full of Bubblegum Popart that one would think 1990's Britney Spears exploded in here. Things have only taken a turn for the worse since she learned her encounter with Spike wasn't Spike at all. She's concocted closets out of spray-painted bars drilled into the wall to accomodate the onslaught of clothing she'd purchased. She'd erected new shelves to her Shrine of the Unicorn. She'd fluffed and bedezzled everything within arm's reach and beyond. Including the television which now had feathered knobs- pink and glittery in their glue-gunned magnificence. She was currently lounging on her couch, held aloft by a swarm of tassled pillows, watching Days of Our Lives and sipping blood out of a champagne glass. With a purple twisted crazy straw. Her baby blue fuzzy slippered feet bounce off the edge as the show breaks to commercial at the cliffhangery edge of something sorely romantic. She sighs dramatically and pouts- all lip gloss and mascara, looking over at her unicorn collection. With a sniffle, she tosses her hair.* You guys are like.. you're the only ones who listen to me! You're the only ones who... really really understand me, yanno? You.. love me. You really love me! *Forlorn and defeated, she sinks into her mass of pillows.* I wish you were real...

She reaches her hand out and grabs it, her jaw clenching tight. She just watches him walking out, having to take many, maaaany breaths in order to keep from letting out a string of curse words or a scream. She wasn't being so unreasonable! He wasn't on house arrest, he could go where ever he wanted. She just wanted to know where that place happened to be! She lifts a hand and moves over, grabbing the pen and scribbling on the paper slowly "Went to bed. Join when you calm down." She tacks it to the front of the fridge and then sits back down at the kitchen table, going all Oscar performance with the holding back tears, finally standing and staring at the closed door.* I really wish he wouldn't take me and- and this for granted...

But she stayed quiet, scared in the corner, as all the good spots filled up quickly. If she could just go on ONE of Dr. Gallagher's trips...but that would never happen. She paused in her walk across the quad, noticing the sky afire with shooting stars. She clutched her books tighter against her chest. This was her first real meteor shower. And she had never wished upon a star before* I wish...*she watched them shoot across the sky* I wish I wasn't so scared, that I could speak up.

Right now, Mike and I are running two plots with the help of AL, Zips, and Fluffer. The first one is going to involve the children of St. Solanus, specifically the newborn babies. We could use some people to make attempted kidnappings/murders though. Some temp big bads. Our second plot is a anyone can join in plot. We are keeping the details under wraps for now but basically something is going to target people in St. Solanus, robbing them of energy and skillz. It won't kill your character (unless you want) but will mostly leave them feeling like they've had the worst flu (or mono) of their life. If you want your character to be a victim, leave me a PM and I will PM you back with the info and schedule a time. Any other plots or plot ideas, just post them here. Edited 8:34pm, January 18, 2008 by Soap Star, author. Personal Asswhooper 2:59pm, January 07, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] I could do some big badness for sure. Think I might place someone on the chopping block for the second plot as well. Also Vincent vs Willow PPV. LOL, its been a long time coming. Moved from other topic Soap Star 9:02pm, January 07, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] Plot idea- Need Peeps Zippy 7:13am, November 11, 2007 Briefness is the type of gods- I'm gonna be away for a short bit and others are sick so plots are sparing but I thought of a kind of little sort of one after watching webisode of Ugly Betty. It happens. Don't condemn. Previous plot, Amy Harper char escaped from Eric Mabius ex who was a druggy evil type so I thought maybe Ruth? Someone in the fashion world? Would introduce a spiffy UB-esque (canon maybe?) Mabius to her through the modeling world to cause the plotty conflict factor. It'd add drama whenever the kid-disappearance-plot-in-the-works kicks in too. I have a fever. 104, BABY. If it doesn't make sense, blame it on that. Basically, I need people to agree to rp with me. And play an Eric Mabius fashiony char. Just PM me or IM me at impromp2baby. Back to bed I go. I just thought I typed "Don't condom" up there. That's not true. ALWAYS condom. Safe sex is the phrase of the day. Audience Liaison 8:35pm, November 12, 2007 *Throws Ruth to the plotwolves.* Question: we're bringing Mabius back, only spiffy? Kid disappearance: Gets big cheers, because I love to see characters suffer... SUFFER BAYBEE! People, however not so much. Take care and get better. Me, I'm driving by today, because I have a little feeling I'm getting to attatched at the hip to the computer. Don't know if I should start a new thread, but while plot ideas are being swooped around. I'm moving one a little that will serve to both maybe kill (haven't decided) my new girl Kayce, and torment Vinnie, which everyone loves, right? I still need to word my prophecy right, but if anyone wants-- a temporary rival company to W&H might need folks for that, and of course ideas for making it all uglier. PM me here in the room and I'll give with the crappy ashamed-to-reveal-my-scatterbrain details. *This written in several 'got interrupted' spurts* Edited 8:42pm, November 12, 2007 by Audience Liaison, author. Yes Personal Asswhooper 2:12am, November 13, 2007 He must suffer! Ooh! Ooh! Zippy 12:50am, November 14, 2007 AL! You gave me a brain-baby! I expect child support. Or cookie dough. I didn't initially think that fashion Eric would be the same as ex-boyfriend Eric BUT. We could totally tie the two ideas together. The Eric idea with the W&H rival idea. What if this W&H rival grabbed a hold of Eric Mabius deal-with-the-devil style to resurrect the guy or keep him from dying? Instead of a law firm, maybe they're a talent agency because... law and show biz, both highly evil. Unless that's totally off from what you had in mind. The agency could be linked with the baby-snatchings later on and... uhhhhhhh... my braynn dun ranned oudda steem. For aforementioned baby deal, could like... somehow... we do some kind of AIM chat not NOW or really SOON but right before? Cause I think it could get a whole lot of people involved. Maybe. Someone get me a muzzle. I think "heavy machinery" may include a computer. Business Rivals Audience Liaison 1:08am, November 14, 2007 Well you can have both-- because everyone knows how I do love interlocking parts! Honestly, I hadn't defined their business beyond "A rival pandimensional business concern, who wants X prophecy [I need better verse for my prophecy] of DOOM carried out, and has set about trying to manufacture their own Male Slayers to do so." Talent agency would be a fantastic Earthly Concern. You get the purtiest and richest and most indebted to you people that way! I think I got all my little icons under my AL name, but I'm zia62939 on AIM, zianeu on yahell. Talk at me! Hauntings Soap Star 8:34pm, January 18, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] If you are looking for something that might help with character development or just feel like torturing your character a little more, Mike and I (and maybe Zips and Fluffer) will be offering up some hauntings. You tell us where and how intense. Just moaning? Chain rattle? Things flying around the room? Or do you really want an angry ghost in your place, physically harming characters and their family? Just let us know. Again, with all plots, this is open to ALL characters. Canon, original, based on canon. Whoever needs something to spice up their RP, let us know here. (On the board) Children of the Light Soap Star 7:27pm, January 19, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] As Zips recalled, we did a kind of fun plot years ago with a group called Children of the Light run by Gabriel Light. Mike and I were talking and we are going to revive the cult. (Not all increases in evil have to be supernatural) We need people to play cult members and people to get suckered into the cult. So if you have a character that you would like get all brainwashed and sucked into the cult, just let me know. The cult will be different this time because the new guy running it is learning from Gabriel's mistakes. But have no fear, it is still a cult. They are still bad. If you are interested, let me know and we will set something up. Soap Star 5:19pm, March 16, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] So right now, we have a demon in town that is now only sucking the energy from the good people of St. Solanus but also, when it was summoned, it increased demonic (and ghostly) energy in town. All that bad energy is building up with more people being attacked and haunted. A lot of it isn't being played out but assume that NPC townsfolk are being harassed. In order to do the next plot that Zips and I came up with, the feeding demon needs to suck energy from a couple more people. Once the demon has been fed enough, whatever Buffy/Angel crew feel like researching/killing it, let me know and I will give the low down about it, how to kill it. The ramifications of the demon being killed will bring us into our next plot. So the sooner the demon can nosh on real people, the sooner it can be killed and moved to the next stage. Zips, Fluffer, or myself can play the demon so contact one of us if you want to be chewed on. :) July Plots Soap Star 4:56pm, June 12, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] We are going to be wrapping up the wish plot hopefully by July 1st so make sure all your wishes are done and that the wishes start to fade around the last two weeks of June, things slowly going back to normal. It wouldn't be instant since it is the energy that is making the wishes happen fade slowly. I need some ideas for July plots so let's start tossing out ideas for all room plots. Soap Star 11:01pm, June 12, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] IDEA: Actors in a play turn into their characters. PLOT: Depending on how many people are interested (and if this sounds fun, let me know), some sort of evil entity or demon or warlock casts a spell over the actors in a play in St. Solanus. They think that they are their characters. IE like when we did Moulin Rouge, Buffy (I think it was Buffy) would think she was Satine. ----------- IDEA: Rouge slayerette takes down the Slayer School from the inside PLOT: Not sure yet if this would be a revolution or evil Slayer but a new girl comes to town, joins the school and either 1. kills off girls or 2. turns them into an army of evil or 3. just subverts Buffy to piss her the hell off. ------------ IDEA: Mystical cult recruits Willow PLOT: Willow, feeling ignored and rejected, finds appreciation with a new group of friends, who just happen to be part of a mystical cult. She unwittingly participates in some evil hijinks. Sooooo... Zippy 11:15pm, June 12, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] I have this obsession and all those that don't share it or at least embrace it, nay to thee! IDEA: Rouge slayerette takes down the Slayer School from the inside PLOT: Not sure yet if this would be a revolution or evil Slayer but a new girl comes to town, joins the school and either 1. kills off girls or 2. turns them into an army of evil or 3. just subverts Buffy to piss her the hell off. This one! This one here! It sparked off fangirl neurons in my compulsive little brain. Anything that can be linked with Fight Club WILL BE. What about Tyler Durdeny slayer? Yanno, with a vagina. Someone who rallies the troops to use their collective superhuman powers against The Man? And of course Buffy, being the Teacher/Disciplinarian/Keeper of Donuts would totally be part of The Man. Project Mayhem, Slayer-Style? Ideas! Audience Liaison 12:11am, June 13, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] SLAYERETTE/FIGHT CLUB IDEA: I love it! Totally! Two, two, two menaces in one-- and of course, the Young Slayers Who Kick One Another's Asses because Demons and humans just Ain't cutting it! I like it. I'm still also down for some wacky confusion hijinks over the Mick St. John and Angel parallels. Maybe Kayce's company comes back again for more mislaid prophecy-- or perhaps this is where she comes back from the dead (I mean all she wants to do is eat your brains, she's not unreasonable... no one's gonna eat your eyes). Last year, or sometime in the past, I vagued it up about maybe someone making 'empty' clones-- for virgin sacrifices, vampire buffets, etc as a business... and some sort of hijinks ensue, perhaps when someone recognizes some of the remains at a ritual or something. *shrug* Uh.... Talent Scouts come to town-- they're looking for the next 'reality TV' stars. They're really obnoxious about it, too, and possibly just a touch ninja, as in no one can escape THE CAMERAS kind of way? Possibly one of them has ulterior motives, or someone sees something incriminating-- or incriminating looking (like the Rear Window-esque episode of The Simpsons). Wacky Treasure Hunt-- Someone reveals there's a treasure (money, item, secrets, whatever, just something of great importance) hidden in St. Solanus.... Wackiness Ensues. Okay, more when I have REAL ideas. SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES Dean Winchester 5:46am, June 13, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] A baddie comes to town (maybe a demon) and it feeds on fear, hate, confusion, angst, etc... As if there isn’t enough of that in any soap opera-ish world, the demon needs to create more. Using some sort of trigger (could be anything, a song on the radio, a show on t.v., a video game, a shooting star, a special drink at Bliss) that affects people who see/hear/taste it – he sets off an "evil twin" or "Jekyll and Hyde" effect. Affected characters would slip in an out of their “evil other self” and do things they wouldn’t ordinarily do. It could be stuff like tell their significant other that they are having an affair/leaving them, tell a devastating secret, or they could hurt/kill, depending on how far a player wanted to go with the evil factor. When the character slips back into themselves… they have no recollection of what they’ve done. Lots of room to stir up trouble, be misunderstood, and for basically good characters to have a reason to be temporarily evol. Because... Zippy 8:06pm, June 13, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] I like interbreedingintertwining! Slayer Fight Club and Vampire P.I Wacky Mix-Ups could create enough non-magical distraction for the Scoobies to leave open the window for Willow Gets Cultified plot. Oh, my Audience Liaison 10:27pm, June 13, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] These all rock so hard. I agree on the interbreeding, and put a hells yeah behind the evil (or good, in the case of some chars *eyes the Morleys*) twins. A chance for the Morley's to save the day-- while they're all 'good!' Or someone else evil... Disappointment Soap Hunk 4:52am, June 18, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] AL, why do you want to make those girls a big disappointment to their parents by having them do something good?

On Halloween, a mysterious character will be approaching any characters that would like to be approached. They will be trying to get them to try V, the hottest new drug on the street. (That's Vee, not five for you Romans) What does V do? To quote True Blood (1x05): V will open up your mind to everything you missin' around you. This is the life force of a vampire. They're just blood in a skin casing. Ain't a whole lot different between a vampire and a boudin sausage except...for the blood. Our blood sustains life, this blood...is life. One drop, that's all you need. Can't be greedy. Billions of molecules of pure, undiluted, 24 karat life. You take this in and you take in a piece of the vampire it came from. The trick is, you have to let it take you deep. Follow it. Soak it in. What kind of vampire is that? He's new. So the blood is still a little wild. I can feel him in my muscles making me strong. But you might get another side of him. The same V could affect you in a whole other way. But I guarantee you'll see the world with new eyes. The drug looks like a piece of blotter paper with a red dot in the center. (Blotter paper is what they put acid (LSD) on for those unfamiliar). A user puts it on their tongue, letting it dissolve away. As shown on True Blood, it makes the user see the world in a whole different light, colors are more vivid, the energy around people glows, and well, it makes people feel very amourous. What we need is not only people to be willing to take the V (and comment here a dealer can get with you to sell it to you) and vampires willing to be captured and used as unwilling blood donations. Just reply and let us know. Edited 1:46am, October 29, 2008 by X, author. Head Count! Zippy 2:13am, October 29, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] Matt will do it, no questions asked. There's nothing he hasn't tried. Blaine will probably use it, knowing full well what it is. At least once. Recapturing her glory days or... somethin'. Mick is my only vamp but I'm sure he could be used for a bloody factory. I'll leave it at that for now, so my enthusiasm doesn't overwhelm! Fluffer 3:37am, October 29, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] I can throw in: DD- Cause OMG cute Faith- Amusing Kiera (for shits and the giggles cause wee everyone will get some) Daneel- Cause Blaine is doing it. V, the USERS Audience Liaison 11:22pm, October 29, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] My chars... the uptight bitches, LOL. Well, we know that: Fred-- is a freak that girl, and of course will want to play. Melaka-- will be convinced that drugs from history can't do nothin' to her, yo! Alicia-- Would be cute on the drugs. Li Mei-- if you wanna dose her, dose her Who knows what Marla and Phoebe are already putting in their bodies, so go! Hmm... Spice and Autumn are already messed up enough so they're out. Buffy and Sam are tempting ins, but the pusher would have to be right. I think that covers it. 7 yeses, two now and two 'if the planets align'. Addendum (stress on the DUMB) Audience Liaison 3:21am, November 03, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] You know... There's every chance Buffy might already know... y'know by accident *wink wink* what that vamp blood do to ya... Or Charlie might. If we need a 'whoah, excelsior' moment (I mean if it's going to be all a secret what the red acid actually is). Zippy 7:02pm, November 03, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] Wow, for once I've got the shortlist for involvement. Most of my folks just don't do drugs in general. And the rest can't do them without getting in trouble. That said! Dr. Pete might. And Maya might but she'd be more likely to pass out the drugs. Naked. One more idea. Audience Liaison 11:53pm, November 03, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] Ruth might take it if she is convinced that it would make her able to have children of her own. Don't know if that would work, although the hope alone might make her try and then she could be all depressed when it still doesn't work. Soap Star 7:56pm, November 29, 2008 [Edit] [Delete] Okay, since Christmas/holidays are coming, we want to try to wrap this plot up before the new year. So here is the plan. 1. Mick St. John and Bill Compton are going to escape from the vampire processing plant down by the docks and go into hiding to recover. 2. It is going to be revealed who is behind the V distribution. 3. Angel is going to get nabbed by the above people. 4. At about the same time people realize Angel is missing, Mick will be well enough to tell the slayage gang about the processing plant. 5. Buffy, Willow, Faith, and Wes (and Fred too, if AL wants to double up) will go to the warehouse to kick ass. They will find not only Angel but another surprise. 6. Someone at AI that knows about Ariana's case needs to get with Willow to scry for Ariana. Then whoever gets the info can pass it along or go to kick some vampire kidnapper ass. 7. Withdrawls will start, some people will end up bond to our in game vampires because they took too much V. Vampires might start getting attacked by humans. :) 8. The demon that Sam and Riley summoned earlier will take us into our next plot, that will be announced on the board as soon as the V plot winds down. Probably next year.   Soap Star 5:43pm, August 18, 2009 [Edit] [Delete] Chaos Plot Zippy 12:12am, January 21, 2009 [Edit] [Delete] During the V epidemic, Sam Winchester and Riley Harrisbourg opened a portal to hell. While it closed soon after, portals to hell never spit out pots of gold or six foot long chocolate bars. That's probably a good thing, or else people would be knocking at hell all the time and the people that live there would get pretty annoyed. No one would sleep with visitors at all hours! And if Satan is cranky on a normal day, just imagine what would happen if he doesn't get his eight hours... While it was open, the demon Apep managed to escape. This creature prefers not to have a corporeal body and instead navigates the earth as a cloud of black smoke. It can hide in closets and shadows, underbeds and in car trunks... and it creates and feeds on chaos and destruction. Its goal on this planet is to spread dissent like cancer-- starting with St. Solanus and ending with THE WORLD. Where do you come in? Here...! Here's a great opportunity to shake up characters and relationships. The demon's mere presence tips the scales toward chaos-- so, if Apep's hovering overhead you're only limited by your imagination as to who trips, falls, and lands on whose whatsit. Relationships, buildings, and people themselves crumble when the demon is near and it takes a good amount of willpower to keep from growing frustrated and perpetuating the power. It's a vicious cycle-- the more chaos it's allowed to cause, the more it's capable of. So the lives it affects potentially stand to get worse and worse until the demon's caught and disposed of. Strange black cloud sightings are also welcome, and there are plenty of people who can try to profit from the "bad luck" cloud hanging over the city. Sam and Dean Winchester'll do the ultimate smiting, but if you want a more direct role in this shindig, let me know. We can absolutely place you/your char. As always, if you have any questions... ask me. I only bite when I'm hungry, and I've been well-fed. (Cheerios!) (The cereal, not the pseudo-Brit greeting. That's cheerio! ...But, you know. That too.)   Soap Star 5:47pm, August 18, 2009 [Edit] [Delete] Hi there Parents! My name is Mary Ellen Granger. You might remember me when you signed up or at orientation. If not, then consider this our formal hello! I hope you are all enjoying the first few days of this summer playgroup. The kids really seem to be having a great time. Our most popular activity seems to be swimming but who can blame them in this heat! I am contacting you all because as you know, summer playgroup is free to all parents in St. Solanus. But we can only make it free thanks to the help of our parents. I know, I know, it's one of those emails. Our first event is this weekend. It's going to be a rummage sale. I have attached the flyer to this email and there are some in the church hall that can be used to put up around town. We also need more items! If you have any junk laying around your house, well come and drop it off in Father Timmons Hall. Just remember, this is for our kids. We also need parents to sign up for shifts during the rummage sale. The hours are from 9 to 5 on Saturday and Sunday and we will be signing up in blocks of two hours each. Please sign up for as much as you can! Thanks again for all the help and for making this summer playgroup a success. God bless! Mary Ellen file name: rummagesaleflyer.jpg attached This is out of character information for everyone who signed up for the playgroup plot. Mary Ellen Granger is a demon who creates competition and chaos and feeds from it. Throughout the plot, she will be sending out emails to the parents to participate in various fundraising. Each of these will make the parents more and more competative and aggressive. For instance, this weekend is a rummage sale so parents might feel inclined to sign up to work the whole sale or at least, more than one shift. They may feel like they need to go out and buy new things for the rummage sale or take high ticket items from their home. Whatever it would take to be seen as the best parent. After this, we will have a weekend off and then a new event. I will give ideas for competition for the next event as well. So have fun! Hi Parents! I just want to send out a big old thank you to everyone who helped with the rummage sale this weekend. We raised so much money that we are able to offer a new mess of activities for the kids! We could not have done that without your help. But a special thank you goes out to Buffy Summers, Winifred Burkle, and Charmaine Brooks who brought the most amount of stuff to sell at our rummage sale. The kids wouldn't have such a great program without parents like these special ladies. Unfortunately, our costs are going up so we will have to have another fundraiser in the very near future. I am already taking sign ups and will announce the latest fundraiser tomorrow! I hope to see lots of flyers around town. Chins up and god bless! Mary Ellen Granger Hi Parents! Sorry to be flooding your Inboxes but I finished the flyer for our next big fundraiser. Thanks to the generosity of local merchants, we will be able to host a booth at the annual Fourth of July carnival! Are you excited as I am? We will be doing a bake sale so make sure you start practicing those nummy treats now. The drop off for items will be Friday July 3rd at our booth so we can price them for the next day. No worries because, big news!!! we were able to purchase an onsite refridgeration unit thanks to a donation solicited by Ms. Delia St. Martin! I've attached the flyer so please, begin distributing it around town. If you like, mark the bottom with your intials so that we can all congratulate the person who has put up the most! And don't forget to drop by the church to sign up to man the booth! I will be keeping track of bake sale items dropped off, who brought the most expensive treat, and how much each hour earns! But everyone gets a gold star because we are helping the kids! God bless! Mary Ellen Granger file attached: bakesaleflyer.jpg Hello Parents! Our bake sale was a huge success and we raised thousands of dollars to make our programs even better for the kids. Everyone who helped deserves a huge debt of thanks! The biggest seller was Anna Goldsmith and her "Heavenly Brownie Bites". She sold out the fastest and earned us the most money. I could not be happier and neither could our kids. Our next fundraiser is coming up and I will be emailing about it. Until then, take a breather, come and volunteer to take a few kid watching sessions, and enjoy your summer! God Bless, Mary Ellen Afternoon parents! We have been plugging along quite nicely with the summer playgroup and as school is right around the corner, we wanted to have one last fundraiser to make sure that the playgroup can continue next year. Each of you will be recieving an email from me this afternoon with a list of businesses. We are asking that you call these businesses, drop by, and try to solicit donations from them for our big end of the year fundraiser. I am sure you all know where I am going with this! Yes! An auction! We are hoping to raise as much money as possible with this! So get out there, hit the pavement, and get those donations. You have a week. The Seasons Casino has graciously allowed us to use one of their ballrooms for the event. It will take place August 15th in the Sandpiper Room. So make sure you dress nice and bid it up high for the kids! God Bless, Mary Ellen Granger ((Each parent should have gotten a list with local businesses to get donations from. Of course, all the parents were given the same list as to generate competition (and maybe bloodshed). In addition to the list, the following flyer was attached to be distributed.))
