Event Calendar APRIL 2012

✗EVENT CALENDAR

Pre-Compression ( 04/08 - 04/14 )

Buildings stand perfect, pristine, and totally abandoned. Lights flicker, lifts work sometimes and if you can find a radio or television all it repeats is the last few seconds of something, over and over again. Computers only display the page they were on, vehicles stand silent and unmoving. Weird flickers in the corners or your eye, like you just missed seeing something--or someone. The world of Adstringendum is as it was, seconds before compression.

Note: Anything kept on your character when the event ends will be 'recompressed', meaning you might end up with a laser gun with a can of peas melded into the middle. Useful, no, but still cool, right?

Ten Years Later ( 04/22 - 04/28 )
Suggested by Kisa
Flash forward, it’s ten years into the future of Adstringendum and you've been here all this time! What's happened over the years? Events, deaths, new friends, old enemies, marriages, all the dramatic and mundane happenings of the city, not to mention those older faces. After all, ten years is enough time for the scientists to have finally managed to fix that pesky time-compression problem somewhere along the way, right? The whole city (people, buildings, animals) are older now; ten years of history in Adstringendum. What have you been doing?

I was thinking it may be possible to come up with 5-10 events, slap vague dates on them (this event happened during year 2), and have everyone decide what might have happened to their characters during those events if they'd like. Just so that there are a few established events in a timeline that can be brought up in conversation without the other player in the conversation having to come up with something out of the blue.

It's a hell of a lot of coordination, but if enough people think it'd be helpful, it might be worth a shot.

OGHD.

TEN YEARS.

Aqua hasdefinitely changed her clothes (Sorry for the sloppy, I MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR A BIT and will color and properly lineart it later), and looks more like she's 30-ish than the 40-ish she actually is.

SHE HAS TOTALLY RETROFITTED THE STADIUM AS A PROPER TRAINING CENTER AND LIVES THERE WITH WHOMEVER HAPPENS TO WANT TO LIVE THERE WITH HER.

And probably be like... Team Mom for everyone ever?

I AM OPEN TO ALL THE PLOTTING THOUGH.

~~Let's get this girl a love interest?~~

Kurogane's going to be effected by the TYL event. So bring me your plottings~ I don't have much for him as of yet so practically anything will be good.

Anko will be nearing 40, playing poker and having Ladies nights with Riza, Kuukaku and... anyone of that age and gender about. Also in a fairly stable OT4 (at least), with many thingson the side. A little less of a terror, but still around.

Hinamori's garden will be FUCKING AMAZING with fruit trees and veggies and all. It's the Pride of Adstring, srsly. She will have been dating Renji for several years but that will be on the verge of falling apart because he still really has feelings for...

Rukia, who will be indisputable mistress of Traverse Garden and settling into her role as lieutenant quite nicely indeed, having said something other that 'absolutely yes' (it was more like 'ehhh? what?') to Renji when he finally worked up the balls to confess.

AND SO MANY OTHER THINGS YESSSSS COME PLOT

OKAY LEMME ACTUALLY...MAKE A LEGITIMATE PLOTTING THING THAN FROTHING AT THE MOUTH.

THIS SHOULD HAVE ROUGH IMAGES/MORE INFORMATION IF YOU WANT TO GIVE IT A GANDER

But otherwise

Ron will be twenty-nine and be an old shop owner, yep. He's also probably been helping out keeping buildings reconstructed around the area since he really likes doing that. And he's... no longer the awkward nineteen year old boy.

Hotaru is roughly nineteen and bffs with Chibiusa and Yuma! And getting asked on dates by Luca. /o/ Otherwise, she's still playing the violin, figuring out how to be a nurse in this stringy place, but... generally, overall, still the same if a little more in tune with the world. She also probably still lives with the Senshi!

Xion is roughly twenty-five physically while just over eleven chronologically. Assuming she continued learning under Aqua, she has better control over her Keyblade and such! She's taken to dissecting every book she can get her hands on and... c'mon... she should get some silly love interest at least for a bit! BUT OTHERWISE. Nope. That's pretty much it. She's found her own place and doesn't know if she could return to Sora if she had a choice now... And may have moved into one of the abandoned tree houses.

Plotting? :>

Logan will be nearing 40 and... not all that different. Grey hair, defined frown lines. He's still a cantankerous, crusty slug, quiet and withdrawn on a personal level, but maybe not as bad? IDK. I image he got involved with the city to some degree too, but not sure how? Still wanting out, but no success with achieving that. ANYWAY. No relationships for him ever, but he's managed to patch things up with his sister somewhat. ~~I'm so bad at this stuff.~~

Edited 2012-03-28 12:18 (UTC)

SO AMAZING.

CUE MORGANA IN HER S4 LOOKS BUT MORE MATURE/SAD/LESS CRAZY/PERHAPS REDEEMED?!

all the plotting ever.

Jr. is almost 40, but looks 25. He's now 6'3" and has an actual gunblade that Sephiroth commissioned for him from one of the alchemists. His Red Dragon power has gotten even more powerful, but he controls it a bit better than he did when it was still weak. Since the difference between his real and physical ages isn't as significant anymore, he's likely to flirt at least a bit with most people. Because of Things I have plotted, he's noticed his morality slipping and stopped it, so he hasn't gotten much more unstable...just a bit more frustrated that this is still going on. He and Albedo switch out on whims, so you never know which one is going to be out at any given time. Albedo's mellowed out a bit, but is still deliberately obnoxious and his mental stability comes and goes. For the most part, he doesn't do anything really horrible because he has a constant chaperon, but talking to him can be a bit unsettling when he's in his less stable phases. Maybe he's gotten his hands on a decent piano and shown Adstring his own musical talent?

Ulquiorra has kept edging toward acting more human and understands his emotions a lot better by now. Something or another has prompted him to finally admit he has friends, though he's still something of a wet blanket despite the dry, teasing sense of humor he picked up from said friends. He might know how to smile now, however. He's also gotten better with his second release and can actually, you know, hit things with his Lanza De La Relampago. He's also probably a bit less wary of the Shinigami, except any of them that have stubbornly refused to believe that he's one of the good guys now. And he is, even though he hates getting dragged into saving Adstring every now and then. But he has friends to protect now, so playing hero it is.

Merlin: He has become a lot like the legends foretell, a powerful sorcerer with a wise countenance. He is still some days the biggest clutz but magic is his life and he seeks to teach those who come to him for help. He's learned healing spells. Various little things and truly come into his own as a dragon lord.

His unwavering faith in the good within us all has been a source of strength as much as it sometimes undoes him. He's a tall sort, but without Arthur he doesn't seem quite complete. There's a side missing to his coin as he becomes best friends with Ron and gets into all sorts of adventures.

Dirk Strider: Over the years he has been a tactically minded sort, working on one project to the next. He assists Jade and Urahara with the generators. He lectures Sora on the importance of skepticism. All the while he truly learns about people by being in their midst.

The events of adstring humble him and he comes to see he can't control everything. But there are things he can do and that is what he begins to seek out and do what he can. In the process he starts going by the moniker, Bro Strider. Dirk to his close friends.

Ami will be 28-29, exponentially more confident (though still a little skittish when it comes to interpersonal affairs) and much more organized as one of the primary caregivers in the community. Her time with Unohana and Helen will have given her a substantial education in the medical realm and she will have established herself as a go-to for (primarily human) care. (Did I hear something about babies? Pediatrician, maybe?)

Mai will...well, depending on Zuko-mun's return (or not?) will probably be married/pregnant/something along those lines, and...I kinda have nothing. ATLA peeps wanna plot?

Shepard will be more grisly and battle-scarred, and will be yelling at the rest of you kids to get off her lawn.

Kyoko will be older, wiser, a lot more happy, and strangely a bit more idealistic. Her friends will have rubbed off on her.

But! Her badass will not decrease in the slightest. Instead of sitting around and letting her powers (with demons providing grief cubes to keep recharging her magic!) go to waste, Kyoko is opening...

A ~*Magical Combat School!*~

Here, she'll mentor girls (and ok, boys) who are talented in magical art in the way of combat, strategy, and most importantly, badass. So for anyone who's interested, just holler. /o/

~~I'll do Fran's future...later.~~

Willow: Will have turned her garden into a mini farm and will be a farmer/PCD programmer.

Bartimaeus: Will be exactly the same.

Ginny: Still working in the shop, most likely. Probably will have moved out of the Burrow 2.0 and have a little place of her own.

edit: Gonna save it here as well for ease of tracking. ~~idea and coding shamelessly stolen from other much more talented and creative people~~.

Edited (adding in a link) 2012-03-28 19:45 (UTC)

If I were to opt out of the event, rather than have the +10 years characters think my characters were de-aged 10 years by an event (??), would it be alright to assume that mine had gone home or perma-died in like 2-3 years from now, or something? :|a And then suddenly showed up again after being gone x number of years?

Will is 22, and fully aware of his identity and duty as an Old One. He tends to be rather politely distant, but maintains close relationships with many old friends. He has opened a small jewelry/metalwork/engraving service, though the building he runs it out of tends to be rather overrun by books.

For the first event, Hermione will likely be getting particularly skittish, culminating in her wandless magic getting a bit out of hand and it looks like she'll be accidentally hexing Snape fairly badly. Random hexing for others is open.

Since it looks like there might be a plotting post for it later and I don't have anything at all planned for the second event, feel free to let me know if there's something in particular you want with Hermione, in terms of backstory or something to actually do for that week.

Raphael is eight billion... and ten, so you know, that's exciting.

MORE IMPORTANTLY she will be much saner and less stick-in-the-anus but still be that dogmatic, lineface angel we know and love. She'll just get things like humor and sarcasm better, and be able to make jokes that are actually funny and talk about things like feelings.

2.5 years in, she will ask Castiel to rip out her Grace, because the Hellfire damage isn't worth it anymore. She'll live as a powerless human for three years before Urahara (and someone else??) fixes her grace and she gets her wings back.

She'll be quite a different person, honestly- more human, less arrogant and damaged, and considerably more stable and sane and patient. Also, she'll use her powers to heal people, since no Hellfire makes it possible and omg three years human, how do you survive entire lifetimes without just falling apart.

ANYONE WANNA PLOT??? Let's do some shit. Shenanigans and bad things and excellent things.

BOTAN
Well, Botan's now closer to 60, but would probably have only aged to look... 16, 17 at most? I kinda want to get her living with more people. Biggest things she's done is things like devil traps for other things, and barriers. She's probably more battle-trained at this point! Because it's hard to heal people when there's bad things crowded around. Ahah... Aside from being better adjusted to handle events and crazy people, she... hasn't changed too much.

LILY
Lily's about 28 at this point, but only looks around 23 thanks to something keeping her apparent age around a general area. So aging is probably subtle. Her toxin's gotten more potent, but if Helen's managed to work with her then there might actually be some sort of control! :O She can be around people without getting them as high. There might also be some more badassery having added into her skills and time. So she might've softened up a bit, but... still a bitch. W.H.E.L.P.

SHIZUO
This can really go either way, depending on how much he's trolled. Shizu-chan's pretty happy and has more chances to relax and show that he's not some mindless beast. He's somehow even stronger and has probably been helping out and feeling less like he doesn't do the people thing well. So there might be more people that he's willing to make a connection with, instead of connecting with a small amount and watching their social lives. Of course there's probably a few that he still tries to go out and deal with...

CHII
Chii physically hasn't changed one bit. I'd imagine (if Tesla-mun wants) that she has actually gotten some upgrades or adjustments to her systems. Chii's definitely picked up personalities and is more articulate than having first arrived. Still wants to help and have people be happy, though. Anything you want to imprint on the computer? Ah, there would have also been times that Freya's been out, and mysterious blackouts around those times~

Yea, sorry work has me dead on my feet but anyway...

First week is going to give Rose culture shock, seeing as Albion wasn't really big on electricity during her time much. They still used candles and such so she has no idea what most of this stuff is.

Second week, well ten years is going to be a long time. I assume during that time things between her and Logan would be better but at the same time they would still have their moments once in a while. Their relationship is like a crumpled piece of paper. She'll most likely try her hardest not to make enemies, knowing how important allies are and all but sometimes it might be inevitable. Not sure where she will be standing with her current CRs and what they will be like in the future but I'm open to plotting.

KANAYA!!!

She will have matured. She will have matured physically but more importantly, emotionally. She will be less reserved in her wants and needs, and her general crankiness/insecurities will be tempered after being here for ten years. She is going to have much more control over her rainbow drinker (vampire) powers, although she is not selfish or mean enough to use any of them on anyone (mental suggestion, hypnosis stuff, generic vampire cliche powers). She is even more comfortable with openly telling others what she is and is much more comfortable asking to feed and doing the actual feeding.

She may or may not have ended up in any relationships? It would be her luck to end up being chaste, virginal, and single the entire time what with her being Virgo/The Virgin, but at the same time she will be more comfortable pursuing her interests, even if her 'pursuing' is simply fairly chaste flirting. Canon has sort of made her doomed to be the virginal mother figure due to all the events, but Adstring does not restrict her in such a way, so I do not know. ~~it would make me so happy to get her a love interest even if temporarily really the poor girl needs to be loved~~

She will basically be the beautiful classy lesbian vampire queen that the fandom sometimes Flanderizes/meme-izes her younger self into.

For what she has been doing in Adstring, I imagine that her efforts to create fashionable clothing for people would be pretty successful and she would also toil endlessly to help grow plants and trees around the city. She will also be contributing by doing her best to protect other people whenever necessary, as her mutant-like alien maternal role will be in full force. Despite this strange feeling of irrational sentimentality towards others, she is going to be merciless when it comes to people that have done things such as killing for no reason or inhibiting the well-being of everyone in Adstring. She will be both the extremes of incredibly kind mother figure and merciless justice vampire.

And I am up for plotting where her relationships with other people would have gone over these ten years!! Hit me!!

Ten years later, Sephiroth.... does not really look much different. Hojo, wtf do your experiments do to the aging process? He is pretty different mentally and emotionally, though. More human, more open about his moods and his evil sense of humor.

A whole hell of a lot more stable; Jenova is living on the other side of a very solid wall of 'Not Listening To You' and most telepaths can't get much off him unless he lets them, either.

I would like Sephiroth to either be in a romantic relationship or to have had one that didn't work out. Anyone want to volunteer for that? Male or female is fine.

Plotting for Armand and Uriel!

Uriel Will be mostly doing his usual angel things, though he'll be using his abilities to manipulate matter finally! \o/ So that means he might just have a soup-kitchen thing going, where he asks you to bring something that would get thrown out, and he'll make a delicious dinner via MIRACLES *Sparkles everywhere*

Armand will be just be more bored, maybe more jaded and distrustful depending on Lucifer's plans, but mostly the same.

Also for the other event if you want to make plans!
