does anyone want to do a closed anything or am i just tl and taggin' around?

AnabelVIII sorry that Elle has so many thoughts in the thread w/ Saturday lol

But I'd like to do a thread between dean and Saturday? it probably doesn't have to be closed, it can just be a response to a top-level

"Touching the mind of a Nazgul will cause an instant infection of Black Breath that will immediately render the individual comatose, so yes it's a slightly bad idea, but still allowed if someone wants to try. Just make sure they have a buddy that can lug them out of the fight. "
hey
hey raist

she does gotta make sure guts doesn't engage too long but this... also tempting

kerrigan, later: you did WHAT

June_bug: ! and no dont be sorry, I like thoughts! saturday will also have thoughts

she might not, it didn't go well with nightrenders and these are a few levels more yikes!
but it's still within the range of things I could see her doing

and YES to dean and saturday! have you thought about if you want it to be a fight thread or something quieter? it could also transition from one to the other, there are no rules in dwrp

Joysweeper: /concern/ need you're gonna give raistlin a heart attack

I think either would be good. I don't have a lot of plans for Dean in the fight other than a couple of specific scenes.

that'd be a good "need screams a wordless warning and then falls silent" bit, huh

June_bug: i feel like dean and saturday are probably the type to build cr fastest during a fight or action sequence

that makes sense!

so i'm feeling either the shadowhunter attack or the sandstorm? the shadowhunter attack means npcs to wrangle but could be interesting in terms of how they'll be going after saturday much harder, since she's a magic elf.

but the sandstorm is easier from a pure writing perspective because there's no goddamned people

at least for me lmao

fighting other people is a lot harder to write, I totally get it. sandstorm works!

Joysweeper: hematite what if guts and raist have to go rescue need

June_bug: i can tl since you indicated you were having trouble with tl for dean? or if this was inspiring you can do it, lmk what is best

I'm struggling to do a tl for dean, yeah. if you don't mind I would super appreciate it

the shadowhunters have a way of quickly classifying people but some of them it takes a minute, so I'm still hoping to also get a Raistlin The Fighter With Blessed Sword
I am also totally willing for need to have to get rescued lol

maybe that's how guts gets convinced to not just stay and fight nazgul
need screams and raist is there, ????, profit!

guts can't indulge his murderlust when his Friends need help

she can always not-lie to get him to leave from a fight some other time

Can I just say I appreciate the little adoptive family trio they got going on here

they all have different levels of crusty outside and gooey innards

Raistlin showed he cared so it's too late to put up the mean guy act now

He knows

;_;

my only regret is that saturday cant be there too

aaaw

aran I also really want a plain ol need and guts thread
what do you think - guts had her in the downtime pre shadowhunters, yeets her through some when they show up, raistlin gets to her?

he will use some shadowhunters like a dartboard

saturday then gets nearby and tries to talk shadowhunters down but they're like nuh uh we saw what he did to steve

they also probably saw what she did to steve

and bob

and caroline

and -

poor other steve, he always brought pizza when there was a big evil meeting

God... Saturday trying to talk them down after he has already murdered someone would be. A thread.

i mean saturday is also going full murder on these guys

They Started It

she could try!

see if any of them will just run
these poor idiots they picked the wrong group

it was worth a shot

she could also scare them

like she's definitely done the "do you wanna die today?" speech

okay so guts had need. Need gets to do some happy funtime murder. Raistlin picks up need and then there's "i am but an innocent fighter lad who has never even heard of a magic" attempt.

meanwhile saturday is trying to convince guts to NOT fight a nazgul

or possibly giving up and helping

then need gets separated from raist, raist hears the cry and need goes silent, he finds guts

saturday gets teleported away, guts and raist go looking for need

Saturday knows how much he hates retreating

nice nice

need is starting to regret this being nice and not soulbonding business
she thinks she wouldn't get teleported apart from her bearer if she'd stitched his soul to hers
I... that's optimistic, need.

Need at least ask first

fortunately her soul manipulation power has gotten nerfed away
(kind of a pity, it'd be good against fisto)

okaay but how are we gonna strcuture this

like one tl and then just a bunch of subthreads one after another

title the tl, Need & Raistlin & Saturday & Guts' Excellent Adventure

lmao
works for me

I have this third prompt here if you want to drop Raistlin there, yup -- it's open to everyone but it may work!

If you don't find it to your liking and you plan on making a toplevel with Raistlin maybe I could tag that one, then

YES let me think of the structure bc head hurty from work but tomorrow

Your ideas good I think

ok so it looks like we'll be doing one need+guts thread (where raistlin pops up at the end), two separates ones that are saturday + guts and raistlin + need, and then one final raistlin + guts thread where they find need

saw a tweet thread about the lengths a rehabber and her friends went to to rescue an injured sandhill crane, described as a "spring loaded knife snake", "a javelin that can THINK", and a "swordface snakesplosion" (they go for the eyes with terrifying speed and precision)
but my point is I saw

"Friends who are willing to take their day to help slog through snow (sometimes hip deep), uneven fields, & frozen streams to chase down a sentient knife are the most amazing sort of friends."
and thought of these idiots

oh lol hi aran you commented while I was copypasting bits of tweets
That sounds about right!

hehe

need will be so rattled! she's usually really composed and also a lot of her emotions are muted but this will be very scary

creatorofathousanduniver...: ty!!! will hit today!

June_bug all right im starting to lose momentum so i am gonna do saturday's TL's incl dean and saturday's fabulous sandstorm adventure tomorrow

sounds good!

raist is probably just gonna tag in at people, except for the Big Thing we planned out.... hematite Joysweeper do you want me to set things up? I think having an empty TL with subthread beneath going in chronological order works, so anyone can get that started. Or one of you can do it, since need & guts is first

but also because life is hell, we should probably do prompts for each subthread so we can just scooch around tagging with whomeever as peole become free

a little mini-event

I can set up a thing in a bit!
oh yes totally

yes pls we can have their thing be an ambush

or sth similar

so
empty tl
- need & guts prompt
- raistlin showing up at the end of need & guts prompt leading into raist & need thread
- saturday & guts prompt, chronologically parallel, raist shows up at the end here, too
- then raistlin & guts, looking for Need

four subthreads

we are very good at dwrp and this will definitely not bacfire

empty tl

such excitement, it's their big night out

how are we divding the starting prompts up

my writing juice is done for the day, so anything from me is going to go up tomorow

not sure! I'm thinking about putting up blank ones and coming back to edit the ones that involve my girl when I get inspiration. Maybe I make two blank comments, you make one, I'll make the fourth?

or people can respond to the blank comments that would work too

yeah ill be able to start tagging over the weekend

okay so no big rush right now

it's all good, I'm off until the 29th

tomorrow no tags, only write tls

i am READY i am PUMPED i will DO THIS

glorious clusterfuck
I'm already cackling wondering how you apply athelas to a sword

I was looking at the wikipedia page for heatstroke, saw that it was a "heat illness", went browsing those...
"Heat tetany - Usually results from short periods of stress in intense heat. Symptoms may include hyperventilation, respiratory problems, numbness or tingling, or muscle spasms."
need had a busy day fending that off huh

he just sort of collapsed in a shady are

once they got to the city

goodnight, he's going to die now

in peace

bye
need doesn't keep him in good condition bc she's paranoid about needing her strength

a day is a long time

June_bug an prompt

hematite also an prompt, NAZGUL

some shadowhunters can be there, too

need having a bad time

I tried to look up metal screaming/metal being wrenched apart and oh rite that's a music genre

I think she actually got stepped on lol
rip

I think the order there is raist first
need will have a tag when she's grabbed again, I think, but is otherwise error 404 page not found

okay

ive got Holiday Duties so im no really going to be tagging anything that i have to think about for a bit

it's all good! just wanted to let you know.
