Rejected Characters Depot VII

What do we want? REJECTS! When do we want them? NEVER!

Leilani
Origin: Indivisible
Intended Seasons: 7, 8
Every setting change brings with it a lot of brainstorming. We tend to see rosters shift more when we switch settings than we do during the halfway mark (the offseason held in between the two years of a setting). I tend to keep my eyes open for anything vaguely related to the theme of the upcoming setting and file it away, if only mentally sometimes, for later. That's how people like Leilani wind up in my reject pile.

Due to not knowing anything about Indivisible, I was only going to use Leilani as a base and make an OC using her design as their appearance. I chose Leilani because she was cute, looked appropriate for the setting, and had a unique-looking weapon. Ultimately, nothing materialized for a character like this, and so here she is now.

A Gross of Bootleg Pokemon Figures


If you've spent any time looking for Pokemon stuff on eBay, you've seen them. Bootlegs. Shipped out of Hong Kong in most cases, cheap bootleg stuff is copious on eBay, and Pokemon in particular is a VERY popular target. It doesn't help that Tomy charges frankly ridiculous amounts for their little officially licensed figurines. Of course there'd be a market for cheap bootlegs when a legit two-inch figure costs upwards of eight bucks to acquire! Naturally, these figures are smaller, poorly painted, often off-model, and made of cheaper materials, but that's the tradeoff you make when dealing with bootlegs.

For too long I've wanted to get my hands on some of these beautiful disasters. At long last, I have. They were being sold in 24-count bags for the pittance of $1.60. That meant each individual figure was a mere 6.66 cents. Ominous, but I can't deny the bargain! So I bought six bags.

A full gross of Pokemon figures for under ten dollars. Was it worth it? Let's find out.

All You Zombies: "Cast out from the sanctuary of Suramar, this nightfallen wandered the coastline as his body deteriorated, and his sanity along with it. Just as he was about to lose the last vestiges of personhood, he sensed a radiating energy from a nearby cave. Within, he found a shard of power originating from the Nightwell itself. It sustains and empowers him, but also warps the flow of time and space nearby. It has broken his mind completely. Now, no one enters the cave of Withered J'im. Even fools know better."
All You Zombies: So of course I did

Digital Ink

-GOLDEN SAUCER LIBRARY-
-SOME TIME BEFORE THE MOVE TO KUWAHAWI-


"THAT WAS FREAKING GREAT."

Rachel smacked the mystery novel onto the counter, Gloria looking down at it and then back up at the red-hooded girl. "I'm, uh, glad you enjoyed it."

"Got any more in this series?" Rachel asked, leaning in. "I gotta know what happens next! Is there another big heist? What happened to that other guy? There's so much more this verse could do!"

"Well..." Gloria's eyes shifted and peered diagonally upward as she twiddled her fingers. "I'm afraid that's the last book."

Rachel's jaw dropped. "NO WAY! You're kidding, right? This series was balls-out awesome! It can't be over already!"

"Afraid so. I believe we have a few other books by the same author, though..."

"Eh... I'll go look them up myself."

"Be my guest."

Gloria watched as Rachel approached the card catalog.

And walked right past it, plopping down in her chair and pulling out her smartphone. Gloria gulped nervously and tugged at her robe's collar, and something in the rafters of the library moved.

"Why did you lie?" Yamame asked quietly, dropping slowly out of the shadows while hanging upside-down. "That series has two more books in it."

"Yeah, but... but..."

"HOLY SHIT, GLORIA." Rachel came running back up to the counter, waving her phone around. "There's two more books in that series! You're holding out on me! Gimme."

Gloria slouched, looking defeated. "I can't."

"And why not?"

"Because... well, look more closely." Gloria sighed, gesturing at Rachel's phone. The younger nerd looked at her phone curiously, peering at the details of the page she'd pulled up. A look of understanding dawned on her face. "Ohhhhhh. They're digital only."

Gloria buried her face in her hands. Yamame frowned and dropped to the floor, standing up next to her girlfriend. "Is it really that big a deal?"

"Yes." Gloria huffed. "It's just not the same without a real, physical, wonderful book in your hands, is it?"

Yamame thought about it. "I do like it when I read a 'real' book... it feels better. But you're still overreacting."

Rachel shrugged. "I don't care as long as it's good." She tapped on her phone a couple times and spoke to it. "There's your three bucks, you highway robbers. Book! Now!"

"Look at it this way. It's good for people to read, right? No matter how they do it, they're still reading."

Gloria nodded slowly. "I guess you're right, Yamame."

"Good! All better then? Then let's get over this and have an-"

"Oh boy."

"EXTREME BOOK CLUB!"

Yamame shot out a line of webbing and began swinging from the ceiling while headbanging. Rachel stared for a moment and then joined in, thrashing on an air guitar. Gloria looked back and forth at the two before shrugging and beginning to dance in place.

"YEAH COOKIE"

"Pffffffff-"

Gloria blushed and looked sternly at Rachel - but did not cease her wiggling. "C'mon, Rachel, you've heard her call me that dozens of times by now."

"It hasn't gotten old yet!"

The summoner sighed. These two could be a real handful... but she didn't want either one to vanish from her life.

Rejected Characters Depot VI

Here we are again with another selection of characters I have mused over possibly roleplaying and ultimately discarded. Some may have been major players. Some may have been exclusive to a plot. Some were just Fite Club opponents or Secret Fiters. But what they all have in common is that they will probably not be showing up in Kuwahawi.

Kuwahawi, Here We Come!


Dolby smiled and bobbed her head, listening to her tunes as she looked carefully around her room one last time to make absolutely sure she wasn't forgetting anything important. Not only did she have three big suitcases packed with personal items, but she was using herself as suitcase number four, having shoved all the nostalgia into her body she could comfortably carry. Perusing her depleted rack of cassette tapes one more time, she opted to grab one last blank tape and cram it into her mouth to join the rest.

"Dolby, it is time to depart." Odyssey droned from behind her. He carried only a single small case of items - his arcade machines were being shipped to Kuwahawi Island separately.

"Yeah, I think I'm set." Dolby nodded, smiling at her friend and turning her music down. "I still can't believe you're coming to Kuwahawi. I really thought I'd be the only Nostalgia Elemental to follow the Kobbers."

"Las Vegas is my home, and I will miss it. And when this is over, I will enjoy being back home." Odyssey's pupils flicked back and forth, looking at the ransacked state of Dolby's room as she had taken tons of her personal belongings and packed them up. "But I believe your desire to see more of the world is not without merit, and the opportunity to introduce these natives to arcade gaming is one I do not wish to miss. It shall be a worthwhile endeavor."

"Man, this place is gonna feel empty with you two gone."

Dolby and Odyssey turned to see Zenith, Sinclair, and Noir standing in the hallway, crowded around the entrance to Dolby's room. It had been Sinclair who had spoken, and he lowered his camera-like head. "We'll miss you."

"Come back safe, all right?" Zenith said, stepping in close. "I'll keep these two in line in the meantime."

"And when you get back," Noir piped up, "we can throw ourselves a little shindig!"

Zenith chuckles. "Sounds like a plan. In the meantime, have fun. We'll make sure to keep you in mind with music and games while you're gone."

Dolby grinned and hugged Zenith. "Thanks! Don't worry - we might get scuffed up a bit-"

"Might?" Sinclair laughed. "It's the kobbers! And you even said you want to fight in that Brawl they do every summer!"

"Hah, yeah! So we WILL get scuffed up. And probably worse. But we'll come back in one piece, just you wait and see!"

Odyssey began to move to the hall. "I shall miss you all as well. When you next see me, I shall have made arcade history."

Dolby followed Odyssey, and Sinclair came after them - it was he who would drive them to the airport. And as the waving Zenith and Noir vanished in the rear-view mirror and Odyssey and Sinclair made small talk, Dolby held up her smartphone and stared at her wallpaper, depicting her and her two best friends. Soon, she would finally see them again.

Chatzy Madness Volume 285: The Potato Goddess

(Chao leaves to get something to eat, then comes back)

RubyChao: so
RubyChao: the place i was going to
RubyChao: is out of business
RubyChao: notice from the landlord and everything
RubyChao: but my second choice is still around!
RubyChao: shame, though; really hyped for that pita bread
Gooper Blooper: :<
Gooper Blooper: When was the last time you got to go there
RubyChao: hmm... i want to say about two or three weeks ago
Gooper Blooper: Wow, that soon? I'm surprised you didn't overhear anything or see a warning
RubyChao: judging from the notice
Gooper Blooper: they're in Zenith's graveyard of lost businesses now
Spy Somehow Still Snowed In: D:
RubyChao: they didn't pay the rent and it's been shuttered until claims court happens
Spy Somehow Still Snowed In: That sucks Chao
dedvel: there was one really great buffet in our town that I miss
Draco: I know the feeling, Chao.
Draco: Every place in town that's done slices, the burger place I was at when Cray Fish won, the waffle sandwich shop that took over the burger joint's location...
Gooper Blooper: Don't forget that shitty ribs place!
RubyChao: yeah but that's a place that we don't mind going away
Draco: I was TRYING to, Goops.
Gooper Blooper: ;V
Draco: :l
Arthur Bishopfish: there was a place here called Rib Train that my dad always wanted to go to but then he found out it had closed, and every day on the way to work we drive by where it was. We saw it torn down and they're building an apartment complex there, but for some inexplicable reason the Rib Train sign is still up and the city doesn't know what to do about it
Arthur Bishopfish: its shaped like a train too, and we thought it might be some historical thing, but the newspaper did a story saying "It's still up for no good reason"
Gooper Blooper: Rib Train Sign vs Ron Paul Sign
Arthur Bishopfish: what's the status on Ron Paul
Gooper Blooper: Last I saw it was still there, but I haven't looked at it in a while
Arthur Bishopfish: hopefully the snow won't kill it
Gooper Blooper: snow didn't kill it the last four years running so probably not
Arthur Bishopfish: true, but something has been gradually killing it
Arthur Bishopfish: its like a dead tree in the forest
Arthur Bishopfish: it won't grow, but gradually the world breaks it down
Arthur Bishopfish: and then someone puts a new Ron Paul sign in its place
Arthur Bishopfish: thus continuing the circle of life

Baron Frederik: there's a burger delivery place putting up posters where i work
Baron Frederik: to which I say
Baron Frederik: bout freaking time someone realizes fast food delivery is a great idea!

Gooper Blooper: if you didn't google JRM's current sig, you should, it's a keeper
RubyChao: you weren't kidding
RubyChao: and that's from a heartwarming scene, too
Baron Frederik: AUTHENTIC TEENAGER DIALOG

---

Baron Frederik: good ad
RubyChao: christ
Gooper Blooper: I've been wondering if the ads I've been seeing for eight years talking about "OBAMA WAIVES REFI REQUIREMENT" will be updated or changed at all
Gooper Blooper: I bet not
Baron Frederik: oh man, there's bound to be a wave of trump ones eventually
Baron Frederik: brace your buttocks
RubyChao: prediction: they're exactly the same as the obama ones
RubyChao: but with Trump swapped in for Obama
Baron Frederik: TRUMP URGES MOMS TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL
RubyChao: they're both five letters, you don't even need to change the spacing

Baron Frederik: "This was surprisingly entertaining and with a few minor exceptions, very inoffensive family fare. It's another one of those adults-and-kids can enjoy flicks with a number of lines that border on being too much for kids but are still tame for adults - close, but safe. There are also some funny special effects and some good slapstick humor.
Being basically a kids' film, the main child, played by Eric Lloyd is cute but a little too spoiled for me but he's tolerable, as is his brother. Jason Alexander is the father, a very likable subdued guy but a little too lenient.
The real surprise in this cast is Faye Dunaway. Usually playing hard-edged types, she is the opposite in here which is kind of refreshing to see. She shows a nice comedic touch. The chimpanzee is probably the most entertaining, which is the idea, but so is the villain played by Rupert Evert. In other words, there are a lot of likable characters in this movie.
This a "sleeper:" an underrated film that a lot of people would enjoy. I'm sorry it never got much "press.""

Baron Frederik: the chimpanzee in Dunston Checks In was so good, he looked like an orangutan
Gooper Blooper: close enough
Baron Frederik: "The definitive monkey movie"
Gooper Blooper: CLOSE ENOUGH
Baron Frederik: so many of these reviews are just "here's the plot"
Gooper Blooper: ow
Baron Frederik: "Depends on your orangutan tolerance."
Baron Frederik: this is a make or break factor in many films
Baron Frederik: "anybody who doesn't like this movie just might be some kind of schmuck"
Baron Frederik: "Faye Dunaway steals every scene she is in with this chimp. LOLOLOLOLS a'plenty!"
Baron Frederik: this might be my favorite review though: "An ape can't check into a hotel! Or can he...?"
Baron Frederik: as if this was the story of some plucky ape who is doing his darndest to check into a hotel despite society telling him no
Gooper Blooper: I like it because it reminds me of the endless shitty "questions" that get posed on kids' novel back covers and fanfiction.net summaries
Gooper Blooper: "will ash ketchum get the girl or will he not, please review"
Baron Frederik: Is Dunston really different from us? You'll be surprised at what you discover
RubyChao: i believe in you, dunston
RubyChao: fight the system
Draco: Ash would only get the girl if he could stuff her in a baseball and make her fight dragons and sharks.

N❜Yasunna: "Once again, there are some subtle aspects I wish weren't lost when this Pokemon evolves, since Toxapex sort of trades "sad goth medusa child" for "devil ghost in a cactus igloo""
Beautiful Chickadee: i'm the devil ghost in a cactus igloo
Gooper Blooper: oh good, I'm not the only one reading Bogleech's Pokemon reviews
Gooper Blooper: he hates Gallade but aside from that I line up with him an awful lot
Beautiful Chickadee: unreasonable gallade hate
N❜Yasunna: yoooooooooo
N❜Yasunna: I don't remember how I found them
RubyChao: but what does he have against gallade
N❜Yasunna: but I agree a lot too
N❜Yasunna: especially on Lucario
RubyChao: it's so evil :<
N❜Yasunna: not as strongly as him though
Gooper Blooper: Lemme go check the review again to refresh
Gooper Blooper: His dislike of Gallade seems to stem largely from what makes Gallade so popular in the first place
Gooper Blooper: That being it seemed like pandering to the Gardevoir fan club by giving them a male version so they can pretend male Gardevoirs don't exist
RubyChao: rip
RubyChao: can't argue with that, i suppose
N❜Yasunna: I think the one thing that bothers me about Gallade's design is that waist
Gooper Blooper: but yeah Lucario is his least favorite of all
N❜Yasunna: its like he swallowed an ostrich egg and it got stuck
Gooper Blooper: weird design choices being the main thrust of that, not so much the fact that it's really obvious fanservice bait
RubyChao: to be fair, i might be biased towards Gallade since i've ruined him for myself for years
N❜Yasunna: he's the only person on earth who agrees with me that giant inexplicable spikes are not justification for a steel typing
Gooper Blooper: I never liked Gallade's waist either, I remember in some drawings of Gallade I did long ago I adjusted it to look more natural, like a giant bellbottom
Gooper Blooper: I think so too tho!
N❜Yasunna: a trio has formed!
Gooper Blooper: also bogleech gave Beheeyem a perfect score
Gooper Blooper: so that's nice
N❜Yasunna: we all make mistakes
RubyChao: *jrm immediately - kek

RubyChao: "A mistake of Galoob rather than Nintendo: there was a set of Game Genie codes for the NES version that allowed Mario to be, and remain, in a certain suit. However, these codes overwrote additional data that was part of the door animation after the final fight with Bowser, causing the game to freeze if you did not enter the door immediately. The Game Genie code book warned the player to enter the door immediately, or else they would be 'caught in Bowzer's Time Trap, and the game will pause forever!'"
RubyChao: BOWZER'S TIME TRAP
Draco: Bowzer is the Sammy of Koopas.

ivel: so several European sources have confirmed Nintendo isn't making any more NES Classics available there. We in the US will still get more for now
Gooper Blooper: pff
Gooper Blooper: The best way to address demand is to just stop making something, yes, good job :V
ivel: clearly
Jumpropeman: they're probably going to make 16 Switches at this point
Gooper Blooper: 16 switches, but only 15 copies of Breath of the Wild

Cabinet Of Curiosities

Dolby stared dully at the pinball as it meandered about the machine. It headed for the flippers and she pressed the buttons, sending the ball flying back up the playfield. The pinball machine she was currently playing seemed half-dead, like the soul had been sucked out of it. There wasn't any music or sound effects, and she couldn't tell whether it was muted by the owners for being too noisy or if the sound system had simply broken. The game still had a soundtrack, though - a repetitive thudding noise, courtesy of one of the slingshots. The slingshots were the triangular things just above the flippers seen on most every pinball game, and the left slingshot on this one was on the fritz. It activated over and over, thudding as it thrust at the air, but the ball was nowhere near it. Then, as she sent the ball upward again, it landed in an awkward position and got stuck. Dolby stared for a moment, then gave the machine a nudge and the ball was freed.

In sum: This table had seen better days. It needed maintenance, but Dolby knew it would never get any.

With minimal feedback and the annoyance of the broken slingshot, Dolby didn't play very well. Eventually the ball drained and she didn't really care that it was her last one. She looked at the dot matrix display to see her final score, wanting to write it down for her records, but found she didn't do well enough to make the high score list - and as a consequence, the game simply deleted her score almost immediately, giving her no time to record it. It went straight into the "match sequence" - a perennial pinball feature that awarded free games if a score's final two digits matched the two digits the game chose. Naturally, Dolby lost, but she didn't seem to mind. She shoved her hands back into her pockets, looking sadly at the machine one more time before turning and looking at the rest of the games. Half of them were carnival/midway games of one sort or another, with the goal being to win a prize rather than play a video game. She imagined they were little better than claw machines. The only other two games on offer were a deer-hunting game that asked for a dollar per play and an ancient Ms. Pac-Man machine. Dolby had played Ms. Pac-Man a hundred times, but she approached the cabinet anyway. It was out of order.

Dolby sighed. Even though she wasn't actually there for those days, arcades weren't like they used to be. At least there was still ONE in this city she could count on, though. Eager to leave this depressing excuse for an arcade here in the lobby of a movie theater, she made her way to the one she knew was the best in Las Vegas.

RubyChao: "Its title character is a young woman named Skye who lives in a fantasy realm searching for her mother. She does not use firearms, but can perform magic using Skittles candies, as well as use her staff as a melee weapon, though it also becomes an energy weapon when used in conjunction with the Skittles."
RubyChao: ah, product placement
Gooper Blooper: SKITTLES
RubyChao: "A 300-page script, by lead writer and designer Andy Wolfendon, was written and submitted to Mars, which only asked to change a joke, utterances of "damn" and "remove all the snakes from the game." When Braswell asked for clarification, they said that there could be snake-like creatures, but no actual snakes."
Gooper Blooper: That's a weird one. I guess they just hate snakes

Here Be Monsters, Part 3

In the stifling, choking fog, Ariel, Penny, and Rinoa clenched their weapons, holding them at the ready with trembling hands. Their boat was overturned, nobody knew where they were, and the animal they thought was going to eat them had just itself been eaten by an unknown SOMETHING that was even larger.

All was quiet, silent, and still. All the girls could hear was the sound of their own breathing and the gentle lapping of the water against the shore. Then, some forty or fifty feet away, they heard the water churn as something emerged from it. There was the sound of something being dragged across the marshy earth. Ariel looked back at her companions, and she saw the same terrified, uncertain looks on their faces that she knew she must be wearing as well. What do they do? Is the creature leaving to feast on its' seafood dinner? Should they try and get the skiff righted? Would that draw more trouble?

Finally, Ariel swallowed and understood that if someone didn't take control of the situation, the three of them would just stand here quaking in fear until they were all dead. She gathered her composure. "Okay. Let's get the skiff upright and get out of here. It's probably still seaworthy, I don't think Hyneria broke any holes in it."

"R-right."

The girls edged into the water, wincing as the sloshing liquid made noises. They had to act quickly. Penny, Ariel, and Rinoa gripped the skiff and tried to push the end they held up and over to make the boat roll right-side up. With all the sounds of water, they didn't hear one more splash added to the chorus.

They had nearly gotten the skiff onto its' side when Penny saw the dark shape moving towards her in the water. "IT'S HERE!" she screamed, making a break for the shore. Ariel and Rinoa hurriedly followed, as a mouth big enough to swallow a truck tire whole snapped at the air where they had been standing only moments before. The girls quickly aimed their weapons as the creature finally revealed itself...

Here Be Monsters, Part 2

The air was thick and heavy, almost tangible in its' mass. Ariel felt like she was breathing cotton candy, but instead of sugary sweetness it was a swamplike stench. Visibility was poor. The girls could see about twenty feet in front of their faces clearly, but then their surroundings began to fade away into the mist.

"I don't like this at all..." Penny said, looking down at her feet as they slightly squashed on the damp ground. "What IS this place?"

"Something about this island feels... wrong." Ariel concurred, nodding. But her urge to explore it kept her going. She was frightened, true... but she was also very excited. An uncharted island, discovered by the World Progress Alliance?! Think of the publicity! So, carefully, she led her two companions forward. Ariel and Rinoa kept one hand on their bows, ready to shoot if necessary, while Penny carried a tranquilizer gun. Not the most devastating of armaments, but they should do if a wild animal got uppity with them.

As Ariel walked slowly forward, watching her step and remaining vigilant, she suddenly caught sight of something in the sky... she thought. It was blurry and foggy, and when she looked, it was gone. Might have been just a trick of the eyes.

The first definite sign of life was spotted in a tidal pool. Ariel stopped the others when she saw something squirming out of the corner of her eye, and slowly moved in to take a look. Within the pool were several inch-long wormlike creatures. Each one crawled around on the bottom of the pool on a dozen fleshy, boneless legs, and their backs were lined with pointy spines. Their tiny, near-featureless heads waggled to and fro as they sifted the water for nutrients.

"...What the..."

Ariel knelt down, studying the creatures closely. Her eyes were wide. Penny knelt down next to her.

Here Be Monsters, it said simply.

Within her World Progress Alliance base on Kuwahawi's main island (really basically just a clubhouse), with her friends Penny and Rinoa at her sides, Ariel looked down at the faded, worn map in her hands. The Kuwahawi Archipelago was not yet fully studied and understood. One thing or another had come up time and again to keep the archipelago out of the minds of explorers and scientists. Another, closer and larger island, or lack of funding, or bad weather, or any of a million excuses. Civilization was coming to the islands, true, or at least some of them, but it had been remarkably slow, and there were at least a few islands in the vicinity that were not known well at all. These islands were uninhabited by humans - at least as far as anyone knew - and at least one was not even included in some maps. Given modern aerial photography, Ariel didn't understand why...

Regardless, this was all she had to go on. An old map passed down from residents of the mainland, made untold years ago by some ancient mariner. And all they had to say about this mysterious island was 'Here Be Monsters', accompanied by an elaborate sketch of some kind of monster. It looked like some kind of salamander, but with nozzles on its' knees that sprayed water.

"Well, girls, what do you say?" Ariel asked.

"I say we check it out!" Penny exclaimed, smacking a fist into an open palm. "We're likely to find some new species of animals!"

"New species?" Rinoa perked up at that. "Ah... Aye, it doth be true. Islands are known to carry many unique and beautiful creatures seen nowhere else on this planet..."

"Then it's settled. We'll gather our supplies and catch a skiff to this island, scope it out for a few hours, and head right back here to determine where to go from there. No camping, we don't know what kind of trouble could be on that island."

"Sounds like a plan. Let's do it!"

"It promises to be quite the experience."

Trufflehunter: "a chemistry is performed so that a chemical reaction occurs and generates a signal from the chemical interaction with the sample, which is translated into a result, which is then reviewed by certified laboratory personnel."
Trufflehunter: That is the most science sounding science I ever heard!
Gooper Blooper: josephine etc
Trufflehunter: I actually got it from a story about a lady who scammed her way to 9 billion dollars with fake blood testing equipment
Trufflehunter: "When Cramer asked Holmes for a terse true-or-false answer about an accusation in the article, she replied with a meandering 198-word retort."

Lucy Pevensie: unrelated but wouldn't it be funny if you totally PM'd me your address on the forum some time?
Brinehammer: Nice! I still need to shop, sooner or later. I believe it though. If you're ever in Ohio, swing by!

Lucy Pevensie: "Richard Nixon admitted in later life that he dreamed of becoming a rapper, saying "I have often thought that if there had been a good rap group around in those days, I might have chosen a career in music instead of politics.""

RubyChao: another thought i had while looking at alolan desks and the computers on them
RubyChao: it's actually really cool that you can see the progress of technology over the past twenty years both in a meta and in-game context when it comes to pokemon
RubyChao: compare what we see of computers in gen 1 to gen 7
RubyChao: and of course what gen 1 and gen 7 look like :V
Gooper Blooper: What really hammered it in for me was some of the enemy trainers
RubyChao: the ones with smartphones, right :V
Gooper Blooper: specifically, ​the tourists carrying their tablets everywhere
Gooper Blooper: ...yes :V
RubyChao: ​reminder that one of them was literally named Mariah, that was too perfect
Gooper Blooper: but yeah, one of them starts going on about apps and I'm like "we've come a long way from 'It's a SNES!'"
RubyChao: Better get going!
Gooper Blooper: I know it doesn't get the love Fat Science Guy does
Gooper Blooper: but pokemon wouldn't be complete without the little nintendo console ad in the player's room
RubyChao: yep
RubyChao: i mentioned this already, but one of the things i was most looking forward to finding out was "did Fat Science Guy make his obligatory appearance"
RubyChao: i was very happy when i found out he did
Gooper Blooper: TECHNOLOGY BLOWS ME AWAY

RubyChao: "Temperatures are said to be in the excess of 620 degrees Celsius. Entire beaches reduced to glass. Plant life burnt off the face of the earth. All that remains of Kanto is that single, flying object. To this day, it never stops moving, and with my eyes adjusted to the eternal light of the fires, I can make out a barely-outlined winged object."

Jumpropeman: so back in 2004 it was coming up on the presidential election, and George W. Bush was going up against John Kerry
Jumpropeman: As people started looking into John Kerry's life a bit more, people and the media realized he was married to the lady who was heiress to Heinz ketchup
2Goopy: Oh god I forgot about the ketchup thing
Jumpropeman: suddenly, Republicans lost their shit over Heinz ketchup, saying it was leftist and refusing to buy it
2Goopy: GODDAMN LIBERAL KETCHUP
Deleton Warriors: Lol
Deleton Warriors: Ketchup
Jumpropeman: so instead, they created their own ketchup, and called it W
Jumpropeman: look at the back of it too
Jumpropeman: it is so freaking American and try-hard
Jumpropeman: BE A PATRIOT AND HAVE OUR KETCHUP
RubyChao: even general cleft would be like "woah, slow down there"
Deleton Warriors: Ameriketchup
Deleton Warriors: Fuck yeah?
2Goopy: DID WE MENTION IT'S MADE IN AMERICA
Jumpropeman: from their website: W Ketchup was launched on June 14, 2004, nine days after President Ronald Reagan died at age 93. We thank President Reagan for his selfless service to this nation.
Reagan won the Cold War, let private enterprise flourish, and most of all made Americans proud to be Americans again.
“We look for that fine day when we will see him again, all weariness gone, clear of mind, strong and sure and smiling again, and the sorrow of this parting gone forever. May God bless Ronald Reagan and the country he loved.”

Jumpropeman: check out these comments too
Jumpropeman: its basically all anti-heinz
Deleton Warriors: Heinz is British tho
Deleton Warriors: And we all fascist
Jumpropeman: "My 6 yr old grandson says, "No Way" to Hunts which I switched to over Heinz for obvious reasons."
Jumpropeman: obvious reasons
Deleton Warriors: The right wing should love heinz

RubyChao: i'm just going to assume that all three of those are canon
Gooper Blooper: I have another more serious one
Jumpropeman: he's on his home turf baby
Gooper Blooper: Before, Jackal usually fought because other people were fighting or because he wanted to steal stuff
Gooper Blooper: Now, he's fighting for his home
Draco: ​Now, he's fighting for Praline.
RubyChao: no, that's raspberry

Hostile Takeover


-KUWAHAWI ISLAND FITE CLUB-

The end of January was too early. Beheeyem didn't need that much time to set up. Not even he was really sure how his Fite Clubs worked - he simply rented rooms, and the odd people who came to him would do what they wished to furnish said rooms. Sometimes they barely altered them from their default "plain room with a wrestling ring" appearance, but other people seemed somehow able to make little pocket dimensions, like the wintry forest Letty Whiterock, his second-in-command, had made for her own battles. He didn't understand it, but he felt it wasn't important (though, if pressed, he's always assumed something like Big Bobby's portals were at work... but how they were able to follow him around without his knowledge even when he got a new facility baffled him).

In any case, the strangeness of his "tenants" meant that three months of preparation was about two months too many... but Beheeyem had been quite happy to change location, and was eager to see Kuwahawi for himself, quietly, peacefully, before things got chaotic in May when the Kobbers inevitably began rooting out corruption, evil, and darkness. For now, Beheeyem was just another tourist, and Fite Club was able to be set up at a quiet, leisurely pace.

What Beheeyem hadn't anticipated was that maybe he'd been around the Kobbers a little too long. Maybe their stink of attracting trouble had finally worn off on him after four years of greeting them, helping train them, and even fighting with or alongside them several times. Perhaps his joining in that time last October when Big Bobby got in trouble with a portal breach was the tipping point.

After all, how else could he explain the clearly non-native armored fellow currently swaggering into the Fite Club like he owned the place?

Jumpropeman: "Chang'e was mentioned in a conversation between Houston Capcom and the Apollo 11 crew just before the first Moon landing in 1969"
Jumpropeman: "Houston: Among the large headlines concerning Apollo this morning, is one asking that you watch for a lovely girl with a big rabbit. An ancient legend says a beautiful Chinese girl called Chang-O has been living there for 4,000 years. It seems she was banished to the Moon because she stole the pill of immortality from her husband. You might also look for her companion, a large Chinese rabbit, who is easy to spot since he is always standing on his hind feet in the shade of a cinnamon tree. The name of the rabbit is not reported.
Michael Collins: Okay. We'll keep a close eye out for the bunny girl."

Jumpropeman: also Houston totally got the myth wrong at many points :V

Saying Goodbye To Sarah: The Story Behind SarahPlot

Took me long enough to write this, didn't it? But hey, now that the busiest part of the offseason - the holidays - is over, and we enter the long stretch of peace between now and May 1, I figured it was high time I finally get around to talking about my third and final plot of the 2016 RP season - SarahPlot.

This one's gonna be different from my usual plot aftermath posts, working a bit more stream-of-consciousness than a format of characters then events.
  
THE INITIAL IDEA
With my roster enormous going into Season 6, it was high time I do some wrapping up of major characters to make room for others to have their own time in the sun. One character chosen for retirement was Sarah Triden. She's had an incredible run in RP. She was one of the driving forces behind the initial "RP Explosion", and had gotten in on the ground floor for RP's ascendance to being a serious, plot-driven Thing instead of just "a bunch of weirdos talk about ZooFights". She was instrumental in the stories of many characters, whether it was by befriending them or saving their lives, or in one case falling in love. She came back for a second season, then faded into the background before coming back with a vengeance halfway through Season 4, then remained major the next year. As much as I love the little marshmallow, I knew I was running low on stories to tell with her, and her role could be filled by other characters. Helios and the rest of the hospital crew have slowly usurped Sarah's role as the primary healers of the Kobbers, and I've got no shortage of cute, bubbly characters that could be used instead of Sarah for casual bar chat and making friends. But with a character this important to RP, who's been around this long, you don't just snuff out their light and move on. Sarah needed a proper finale, one that built on her history.

RubyChao: It was great to see pokemon in great 3D, the instructions said to find more pokemon you point your camera at an AR card, I didn’t have any but turned on the camera anyway. On the screen I could see my room, I turned the 3DS around and took a photo of myself. Click. Looking back at the screen I almost cried, it showed my face and behind me was a dark unhuman face, I jumped up from my seat and turned around… Nothing. I calmed a little, must have just been a trick of the light.
Gooper Blooper: it was great to see some great Pokemon in great 3D that's really great
ivel: oh god, a Pokedex 3D creepypasta
ivel: I'm actually surprised that exists

GB's Vidya 2016: Year In Review

You guys know the drill by now! Every year I give a short review to every video game I beat in the past twelve months, ranking them from least favorite to most favorite as I try to find my favorite video game of the year. Two years ago I played only a handful of games, and last year I played a whole bunch but many of them were small, quick games played more for the blogpost than anything else. This year I focused on "major" games - only nine titles are represented (I have combined two of them into one entry, so there are eight reviews here), but the majority of them were long games I had to sink a lot of hours into. With three Pokemon games, two Ace Attorney games, and another RPG on top of that, I spent a lot of time gaming this year - just not on a lot of different games!

First, lemme just give a shoutout to last year's winner, Robot Arena 2. Just as I was finally tiring of it, I found another mod that completely overhauls the game, introduces a bunch of real-world robot opponents, and basically just breathes new life back into a well-worn game. I still mess around with this game almost daily, if only for a few minutes. Definitely deserved that win last year if I'm still playing the dang thing.

Let's get started.
