RPP Chat Thread

Slumps into a puddle. "Should only be a few weeks and sweet sweet freedom. Or well more off days. I am so, so, so so so so, so.... So rusty with my RP'ing now, gonna be... Interesting to get back into the swing of things." Hops up and begins to swing on the figurative swing of things.

OMNI SMASHES IN THROUGH THE WALL. "MATA MADE ME A THING MATA MADE ME A THING MATA MADE ME A THING MATA MADE ME A THING. LOOK AT IT!" Omni proceeds to throw a link at everyone.

"I'm looking, I'm looking. Who's your other friend?"

Spoiler:

"What is MNOLG?"

"The Mata Nui Online Game. An adventure game. Templar Studios made it and MNOLG 2. They're legendary among Bionicle fans, as far as I'm concerned, and for good reason.

"Both games are floating about online. Probably the cutscenes, too, if you'd like to take a quick look."

"Oh okay! What does that have to do with the camera angles though?"

"Oh, I was thinking that Templar had limited the amount of animation work they'd have to do by constraining the angles at which characters were seen. But by '03, they had Hahli looking around, which is about the opposite of that.

"Of course, the SFX and some visual animation tricks - timing, overshoot, - really helped sell the characters."

"Makes sense!"

I LOVE MNOG

It's been two weeks already wow/

that's patience at work

being overburdened with homework is essentially equivalent

Everything just goes too fast.

It's astounding

Time is

Fleeting

Madness

Takes its toll

But listen closely

Not for very much longer

I've got to

Keep control

Drop the bass wubwubwubwubwuwbwub WBUUUWBW

Dang it omni.

I have no concept of shame.

An RP where we start with the last post and have to RP backwards coherently. Posts would be read normally, but you'd just read them in reverse order.

That would take some fucking incredible ingenuity.

What if the characters we play in the RP are themselves doing the same thing we are, that is, rping a backwards RP. So we begin as the players celebrate after (before) beginning an RP of their own, which they see through to the beginning just as we see through it to the end. Then just as their RP closes we say goodbye to the characters who are just now beginning as they create their own characters whom we've been following for the whole RP.

Oh lord.

Although the idea amuses me greatly, I'm not sure we could reproduce how detail tends to build over time. We'd have to start with all of the detail and then trace back to the introduction of each idea, without the whole thing collapsing in a self-contradictory pile.

Or we could open with purposeless banter, and work backwards towards each player's character concept from there, neglecting plot entirely. (That's rude of me. Sorry.) Better yet, skip that, and set about deriving a setting from disparate characters. Could be a useful exercise. Hell, I've been trying to do that for years now.

A platform made of crisscrossed carbon tubes floated in the void inside the far wall. The drone crossed over to it, and reached out to prick the sloth which strummed the threads of inevitability.

What does it mean, for the sky to fall?

The ground rose to meet them. The diplomat spiraled upwards until his breath could no longer sustain him. Weary, he was knocked prone by the ground.

As the temperature reached freezing and continued past, he strained to meet the stranger's eyes.

Solemn, I presented my final offer to the falcon-folk. 'Your domain for our knowledge, to be applied as we see fit."

Jazz:
"We acquiesce."

((Let's do this thing!))

Wait I'm confused is that the beginning or the end?

It's the beginning of their RP, and therefore the end of ours!

Hence the ordering of the posts. Which I wrote in reverse because authenticity, and also, easier.

Ooooooh! Wait, you've confused me. Or have I confused myself?

You clearly have a better grasp over these things than I do. xD Regardless, I still really love and admire your creativity. THE SLOTH THAT STRUMS THE THREADS OF INEVITABILITY

I still like the idea of a collab story. Then again writing excercises wouldn't be so bad, I need it, been too long since I have stretched mah writing muscles.
