Plotting!

PLOT DISCUSSION
(derp, sorry for lateness...)


TRAINER TIPS:
→ This is for general, game-wide or location-wide plots, larger-scale player plots, and general plotting ideas. This is not a CR meme.
→ The idea of this post is to help generate discussion, inspire, or plot out overall plots, as well as bounce ideas off of your fellow players and moderators. We will also be letting everyone know the overall ideas of what we'll have coming up, and you can give us input on those as well!
→ Please play nice while discussing things! Remember, it's okay to disagree, but be polite!

JOHTO RESEARCH TEAM

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2012-08-15 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
SO HEY when I was reading the CR meme I noticed that we have quite a few science-y types who are interested in investigating the setting and trying to figure out this place's weird mysteries! So, I think it would be a pretty neat idea if there could be some kind of IC organization to it. I know Team Rocket has the science division, but there are several non-Rocket characters like Kayneth and Twilight Sparkle who have been pretty diligent about looking into things, so I was thinking that something a little more neutral might be a fun thing to do.

What do you guys think? I could probably have Kayneth propose it ICly at some point, if you dudes think it's a good idea. I know there's a lot about Johto that isn't really intended to make sense to the characters and that some investigations will turn up jack shit, but hey, the characters don't know that, and that's half the fun!

Great, just what Kayneth needs. Another thing to be a pretentious ass about.







This is a great idea and you should feel good for suggesting it regardless of my snark.

Of course he needs another thing to be a pretentious ass about!

There are never enough things he can be a pretentious ass about.

[personal profile] ex_ridden244 2012-08-15 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
He could be a pretentious ass about his pretentious ass alright.
enjoymyatelier: look at him, gesturing flamboyantly. what a twit. (I'M A GENIUS!)

[personal profile] worktodo 2012-08-15 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I...don't know if I can promise that Albert would willingly get in on this sob he is so grumpy, but he's definitely going to be doing the science research thing with a particular focus on how Pokemon food/berries/byproducts affect humans when consumed — Paras mushrooms, sleep powder, Blissey eggs, the berry assortment, stuff like that. It might take some IC shenanigans to get him to grudgingly share his research and cooperate with an IC organization, but we could probably work it out somehow?
enjoymyatelier: actually, it totally will. (aha! a plan that will not end in failure)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2012-08-15 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh god, that would be so rad. I would love to work this thing out, though I'm not quite sure what kind of badgering would work here, haha.
worktodo: (POINT ☮ tee hee it's trying to think)

[personal profile] worktodo 2012-08-15 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's my problem, too — I have no clue where to even start with something like that. Maybe appealing to his sense of justice or the idea that it'll Help People™ somehow? Albert's generally pretty good about Snuffing Out Evil and serving justice and stuff. Assuming it's not preachy and everyone gets the hell out of his way and so on.

Also I've been thinking of having him put out a bounty on some of those Pokemon (because like hell he's gonna go catch them himself), so maybe that would be an in for getting them to start talking about it?
enjoymyatelier: maybe he should check the foundations, come to think of it. (red car. good point.)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2012-08-15 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm yeah! Since it's definitely something that could Help People, even if it's just newbies getting used to the setting and learning to survive on the routes and stuff.

And yeah, that sounds like a good plan.

Sion and Ryner have actually been doing a fair bit of researching legends and legendary pokemon. Mostly it's just been a cursory overview so far, traveling all over Kanto and Johto under the premise of Sion going and challenging all the gyms, though Ryner's done some reasonable amount of research in Johto prior to Sion showing up, too. So they would probably have some interest in this, I imagine. |D

....oh, and Ryner in particular is a genius mage back in his world, incidentally. Which Kayneth may find relevant to his interests if he ever found out. :)
enjoymyatelier: actually, it totally will. (aha! a plan that will not end in failure)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2012-08-16 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, excellent! Kayneth would be all over... both of those, really. Because, you know. Legends.
lightningbearer: (fruit shopping)

[personal profile] lightningbearer 2012-08-16 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Sweet. |D ...though I imagine he'd be both awed and appalled if he found out details about how magic works and who can use it in Sion and Ryner's world. XD

Well, Apollo's well on his way to knowing everything there is to know about the local flora and fauna. He likes watching how nature works and talking about it with people who are willing to hear about it, but I can't picture him actually joining a research team of any kind. Especially not one involving pretentiousness in human form. Granted I can see him at some point being convinced to make a big video post explaining Berries and edible plants for the new arrivals, so what do I know. I guess I'll just see what happens and if I can throw him at something.
enjoymyatelier: gosh I am going to enjoy torturing you to death. (that is totally adorable!)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2012-08-16 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
...since Albert is working on that too, this is just making me think of Apollo and Albert collaborating and I'm just losing my shit over it

...Did you seriously just suggest that? Because I'm not sure if that's a hilarious idea or a terrible one.

Does the scientific method have a place for "I know what this plant does because I asked a Pokémon and heard it answer in my mind."
enjoymyatelier: actually, it totally will. (aha! a plan that will not end in failure)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2012-08-16 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure it's both...

...and I'm not sure, but Kayneth would probably buy it more than Albert would.
