X-CorpThe Expansion:
Q: What is it?A: X-Corp has gotten together with several like-minded companies world-wide and, with the help of Warren Worthington and his connections, instituted a merger that brings X-Corp and its mission statement of Humans and Mutants solving bringing aid to global problems to a world-wide theater. This is being done for two reasons. One; To bring us to a more forceful presence on the board while still maintaining the non-combative nature of the X-Corp faction, and Two: To expand seeding for future plotting and more diverse storylines that can’t really be anchored around a small charity outfit base in a single city.
X-Corp will be opening remote branches in the following cities: Los Angeles, London, Paris, Mumbai, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. There will ultimately alos be a branch opening in Sydney, Australia and there is a plot in the works for them to try and force an office open in Madripoor, but these locations are down the road once we get the idea established and see if a Global-Scaled X-Corporation can work the same way it did in the comic books.
Q:What is going to change?A: At first, nothing. Most of the international setup will be off paneled, with action remaining in New York City. But once the International Offices are officially up and running in game, we will be able to plot out events and stories that take us the world over. Much of this will hinge around X-Guard, the Search and Rescue team introduced last year. Other, smaller scale plots for those not involved in X-Guard can be devised by you, the player; but I personally believe that it remains true that roleplaying out the daily rat race of an office worker/pencil pusher is less than compelling.
X-Guard Requirements:At this point, it is required that you be a full-time Member of X-Corp
X-Corp provided training in field first aid
Driver’s License
Pilot Training
Cross Factional stuff:With X-Corp moving into a global theater and becoming what is essentially the Red Cross of the Mutant World, the opportunity for us to work with factions will be heavily increased, and we’ll be able to come up with some things that we can cross-factionalize with the likes of SHIELD, the Hellfire Club, and even potentially Sanctuary and the Brotherhood.
The Medical Staff:I’d also like for our Medical staff to begin doing some plots regarding emergency medical stuff, if that avenue of membership continues. At the moment we have Shaobing, who will be the head of that area of X-Corp, and Cecilia Reyes is going to come into the fold soon. We also have two inbound OC’s, one with paramedic training and the other a healer OC who is also a Doctor.
Who to talk to with your thread/plot ideas:X-Corp General: Basswave
X-Guard/X-Corp: Basswave/Lodestone
For the Medical people, Shaobing
PR Stuff/ Charity Events, Adrien Faye
Possible Hooks for X-Guard:- Natural Disaster Relief/Search and Rescue
- Field Hospitals/Medical Aid
- Mutant Extractions
Some early thread ideas:Les Enfants Terribles
Called in to investigate a sect of Mutants hiding in the Catacombs beneath Paris who have been causing a stir aboveground. At first they become lost, but are found by these French Morlocks and taken to their base. At first things go relatively well, but a misunderstanding leads to an altercation in which someone is kidnapped and the rest are teleported back to the surface and a rescue operation is sent underway.
Return to Toad Hollow:
X-Corp has a storage facility located in the Catskill Mountains. In their previous adventure their they witnessed a battle of interdimensional proportions. It’s been quiet ever since, but when X-Corp begins to add on to and remodel the facility, they find that Blastar and Annihilus weren’t the only thing out of the ordinary at the Toad Hollow facility. When the base goes dark, they investigate, only to find the Snarks, a reptilian race of cretinous creatures hell-bent on taking back what’s theirs!
The Hand:
X-Corp’s entry into the Japanese theater has been mentioned as being the roughest part of the expansion. As their first project, they rejuvenate and bring aid to a rough spot of Tokyo, only to draw the ires of a ancient order who intend on seeing it stay condemned. X-Corp vs. Ninjas.
Down The Tubes:
A seismic mutant has engaged all of London! But as a battle rages above the ground to reign him in, X-Guard is sent below ground into the subway tunnels to extract survivors as the whole of London threatens to come down around their ears.
Children of the Atom::
Essentially, X-Guard is contacted to aid in the rescue of a mutant being held captive in the country of madripoor. They have to go undercover, deal with the local crime elements and all that fun stuff, and guide the mutant out of the country.
Kinapping Plot:
Somebody adverse to the notion of X-Corp’s expanding agenda kidnaps Hartley, and using their combined powers and intuitive intellects, she has to be rescued.
Murder Mystery involving Dead Girl?
Get Back to me on this Kris.
Possible U-Men Cross-Factional
This would likely involve The Morlocks, X-Corp, X-Factor, and possibly SHIELD.

Kel 7:52 pm
I havent gotten a response from her yet. She might be working.
Jet Black 7:52 pm
hehehe I was just thinkin that
Deano 7:52 pm
Ah well we'll do transcripts and such
Buford 7:52 pm
She may be, Kel, she may be.
Deano 7:53 pm
Okay
First off, I'm gonna go ahead and proceed to tell you guys about what we're doing with X-Corp in the coming months
X-Corp is getting together with several like-minded companies world-wide and, with the help of Warren Worthington and his connections, instituted a merger that brings X-Corp and its mission statement of Humans and Mutants solving bringing aid to global problems to a world-wide theater. This is being done for two reasons. One; To bring us to a more forceful presence on the board while still maintaining the non-combative nature of the X-Corp faction, and Two: To expand seeding for future plotting and more diverse storylines that can’t really be anchored around a small charity outfit base in a single city.
Deano 7:55 pm
X-Corp will be opening remote branches in the following cities: Los Angeles, London, Paris, Mumbai, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. There will ultimately alos be a branch opening in Sydney, Australia and there is a plot in the works for them to try and force an office open in Madripoor, but these locations are down the road once we get the idea established and see if a Global-Scale X-Corporation can work.
AmayaDeMorte has left the room. 7:57 pm
Deano 7:57 pm
At first, nothing much is going to change. Most of the boring international setup can be off paneled, with action remaining in New York City. But once the International Offices are officially up and running in game, we will be able to plot out events and stories that take us the world over. Much of this will hinge around X-Guard, the Search and Rescue team introduced last year. Other, smaller scale plots for those not involved in X-Guard can be devised by you, the player; but I personally believe that it remains true that roleplaying out the daily rat race of an office worker/pencil pusher is less than compelling. I'd also like to see some stuff done with our Medical Team; Rex wants to bring Reyes in, and we have a new Healer-type OC coming whenever Jesse's friend finishes the app.
Deano 7:58 pm
If you're comfortable with it Will, I'd like Shaobing to head that particular group up. I'm not sure whatall you have in store for Song.
Buford 7:59 pm
I don't have any plans for him at the moment. That sounds like a reasonable idea for him though
Deano 8:00 pm
Okay cool. If you want to set aside some time we can brainstorm for threads whenever.
Buford 8:01 pm
well, my schedule has officially cleared up as of 2 PM today
Deano 8:01 pm
Alrighty. We can probably talk it over tomorrow after I get back from Christmas Shopping
Buford 8:01 pm
ok
Deano 8:01 pm
Cool
Jet Black 8:02 pm
yay x-mas shopping!
Deano 8:02 pm
Alright. Kel. Faye's fresh back from Sanctuary. What have you got in line for him?
Kel 8:04 pm
I've just got some plotting with him and Mastermind right now
Deano 8:04 pm
Is that anything that's going to tie into his position at X-Corp?
Sack 8:04 pm
Or something that might effect X-Corp
Deano 8:05 pm
Or that.
Kel 8:05 pm
Probably not, at least not any time soon. If it will I'll say so ahead of time.
Buford 8:05 pm
Just to be clear, the international offices will be staffed by npcs, right?
Sack 8:05 pm
Yeah
Deano 8:05 pm
Yeah.
We're not splitting the team up like the books did.
Buford 8:05 pm
with Hartley at the top, as coordinator of all the offices?
Deano 8:06 pm
Yeah.
Deano 8:06 pm
NYC is going to be like the central HQ, basically.
AmayaDeMorte has entered the room. 8:07 pm
Deano 8:07 pm
And our PCs will be called in when the other branches need help and whatnot.
Sack 8:07 pm
They'll be doing some local stuff off-panel as well, but we'll be called in for the major events that need PC attention.
Deano 8:07 pm
Yeah.
Having said Major Events
I'm going to bring up X-Guard.
Deano 8:08 pm
Unless there are any further questions on the Expansion itself and what it means
Sack 8:09 pm
Guess not.
Deano 8:09 pm
Going once
Twice
Jet Black 8:09 pm
SOLD!
*ahem* sorry
Deano 8:09 pm
Yes, so anyways. X-Guard.
Deano 8:10 pm
this is an idea Tim came up with and we sort of spun it into the faction as a whole. What X-Guard is, for the unitiated, is an all-mutant rescue team. They go into heated situations to save people, but generally they don't get into actual combat.
(Unless they run into it unexpectedly)
So far, the members that I recall are Hartley, Edmund, Dead-Girl, Mitch, Lou, and I think Faye, though I think Faye dropped out of it.
Sack 8:12 pm
Basically, any PCs in X-Corps. We've invited a few people elsewhere as well (Anansi, i think, was part of the initial cast before it caved the first time around).
Deano 8:13 pm
I think so yeah
Kel 8:13 pm
I was fine with having Faye in it, I think
Deano 8:13 pm
There are also a handful of NPCs that include the chopper pilots and the field Medic.
Sack 8:13 pm
I honestly don't know how Faye would work into it other than being a spider-sense, tbh.
Deano 8:13 pm
The field medic might get phased out though with the new healer OC if that player is interested
AmayaDeMorte has left the room. 8:13 pm
rplay1990 8:14 pm
Lyric is interested in it, he can locate people and is trained as a paramedic.
AmayaDeMorte has entered the room. 8:14 pm
rplay1990 8:14 pm
Is there a specific way of applying?
Deano 8:14 pm
No, just talk to me or Ed.
Sack 8:14 pm
Join up into the faction, basically.
Deano 8:14 pm
Yeah
Sack 8:14 pm
Who's Lyric btw?
Sack 8:14 pm
Newbie?
Deano 8:14 pm
Newbie
rplay1990 8:14 pm
Newbie
Sack 8:14 pm
Mmk.
rplay1990 8:15 pm
jinx
Deano 8:15 pm
He's not fully applied yet but I figured we might as well have him in here.
Kel 8:15 pm
eh he doesn't have to be in it, just figured that if thats going to be the main focus of the faction now...
Deano 8:15 pm
Not really the main focus
rplay1990 8:15 pm
<3
Deano 8:15 pm
There will still be charity functions and the like
Sack 8:15 pm
Which whomever wants to play in them can (personally I'm sick of 'em. )
Deano 8:15 pm
Yeah
Jet Black 8:16 pm
moonbeam isn't personable enough to head charities. she freaks peeps out
Sack 8:16 pm
Naturally.
Jet Black 8:16 pm
-nod-
Deano 8:16 pm
Like I said Kel, its not shoving you out, and X-Corp isn't ALL we're doing.
Sack 8:16 pm
X-Guard, you mean.
Deano 8:17 pm
erm
yeah
Kel 8:17 pm
if thats the extent of non xguard activity though I would have to have Faye doing something else on the side
AmayaDeMorte has left the room. 8:17 pm
Deano 8:17 pm
Well before X-Guard what else did X-Corp do?
Kel 8:17 pm
I could sort things out of that type for other non x-guard too if needed? =)
Deano 8:17 pm
That's fine.
AmayaDeMorte has entered the room. 8:18 pm
Deano 8:18 pm
He could head up the PR stuff and if you want to work on coming up with the more low-key stuff you can. And like we said, X-Guard is open to the faction as a whole, so if you work out an interesting way Faye's powers could come into a play in a certain thread, that's fine as well.
rplay1990 8:19 pm
Is X-guard very power focused? (sorry for not knowing) Could Faye do the job without having relevant powers?
Deano 8:20 pm
X-Guard generally has people who could benefit in Search and Rescue. Faye has precognition, but it's wonky and messed up if I recall.
Sack 8:20 pm
Yeah, people whose powers can be used to rescue people.
rplay1990 8:21 pm
Ah ok makes sense, sorry for not knowing this. :-)
Kel 8:21 pm
It is only a little wonky
Sack 8:21 pm
S'okay, you're new.
Kel 8:21 pm
basically if he's not one of the variables he's not going to pick anything up
Deano 8:22 pm
Well as I said, you're fine and able to stick with it, but yeah, you'll have to get with me on stuff so I can feed you details.
Kel 8:22 pm
unless its something huge
Deano 8:22 pm
Like "Faye could see this happening" and whatnot
Sack 8:22 pm
He'll be our Zordon.
"RANGERS, THERE'S A DISTURBANCE IN KENTUCKY."
Deano 8:22 pm
Precogs are ridiculously hard to keep in a game and not have it be game breaking
hahahahahah
Ohh How about that?
Faye could be like our Oracle
Kel 8:23 pm
lol sure
Deano 8:23 pm
Sans Spinal Injury and Wheelchair
Kel 8:23 pm
someone has to make some references like that he'd play it up too x_x
Deano 8:23 pm
That's what I meant by get with me or whoever is running threads so they can feed you details
Kel 8:24 pm
sure ^^
Deano 8:24 pm
Give to get and all that
Okay
That's X-Guard
As far as threads themselves go
I have a few ideas I jotted down today and I think Edmund has one as well
Sack 8:25 pm
Thinking on two or three at the moment.
Deano 8:25 pm
Alright
Want me to go first?
These are basically just hooks, not fully plotted out.
Sack 8:25 pm
Sure.
Deano 8:25 pm
Les Enfants Terribles
Called in to investigate a sect of Mutants hiding in the Catacombs beneath Paris who have been causing a stir aboveground. At first they become lost, but are found by these French Morlocks and taken to their base. At first things go relatively well, but a misunderstanding leads to an altercation in which someone is kidnapped and the rest are teleported back to the surface and a rescue operation is sent underway.
Deano 8:26 pm
Return to Toad Hollow:
X-Corp has a storage facility located in the Catskill Mountains. In their previous adventure their they witnessed a battle of interdimensional proportions. It’s been quiet ever since, but when X-Corp begins to add on to and remodel the facility, they find that Blastar and Annihilus weren’t the only thing out of the ordinary at the Toad Hollow facility. When the base goes dark, they investigate, only to find the Snarks, a reptilian race of cretinous creatures hell-bent on taking back what’s theirs!
Kim Parker (Bluehaze2965) has entered the room. 8:26 pm
Deano 8:26 pm
Kimmy. I didn't realize you were online
Kim Parker 8:26 pm
I am always online
Always.
Usually watching Glee
I am on my big ass TV at the moment.
rplay1990 8:27 pm
*GLEE*
Deano 8:27 pm
Well we've already gone over a lot of stuff.
Sack 8:27 pm
We're on X-Guard plots right now
Kim Parker 8:27 pm
Aww, bummer
Deano 8:27 pm
There will be transcripts you can add too
Kim Parker 8:27 pm
I thought X-guard was going the way of the dodo
Deano 8:27 pm
Nooo
Return to Toad Hollow:
X-Corp has a storage facility located in the Catskill Mountains. In their previous adventure their they witnessed a battle of interdimensional proportions.

oops
Kim Parker 8:28 pm
well if there is space I would like Kimmy involved
Deano 8:28 pm
Kimmy isn't X-Corp
Deano 8:28 pm
Is she not going to Utopia?
Kim Parker 8:28 pm
I had talked to you previously about involving Kimmy there.
No, lol.
She is staying where Jay is.
Sack 8:28 pm
Right now we aren't bringing in outside people
Deano 8:29 pm
Yeah that can be down the road.
Sack 8:29 pm
Unless she moves to X-Corps officially.
Kim Parker 8:29 pm
I want to move her from the institute.
Buford 8:29 pm
so
Kim Parker 8:29 pm
she is 22 or 21, she is a bit old to be lurking around there
Deano 8:30 pm
We were talking about the Medical stuff earlier, which will be basically Reyes, the incoming Healer OC, and Shaobing.
Buford 8:30 pm
are you going to have Kimmy and Reyes?
in X-Corps?
Kim Parker 8:30 pm
Sure.
And yeah, as soon as I get my laptop back I will make the reyes and hart thread.
Deano 8:31 pm
K
Kim Parker 8:31 pm
That is unless someone has a complaint about Kimmy involved with X-Corps
Deano 8:31 pm
Onward with more thread ideas
As long as you're active and contributory I have no problems
X-Corp is a faction that will die if we don't keep it going. We did a lot of stuff in the Purifiers plot but we need to keep our momentum going.
Onward to more thread ideas
The Hand:
X-Corp’s entry into the Japanese theater has been mentioned as being the roughest part of the expansion. As their first project, they rejuvenate and bring aid to a rough spot of Tokyo, only to draw the ires of a ancient order who intend on seeing it stay condemned. X-Corp vs. Ninjas.
Deano 8:33 pm
And the last one I brain vomited earlier;
Down The Tubes:
A seismic mutant has engaged all of London! But as a battle rages above the ground to reign him in, X-Guard is sent below ground into the subway tunnels to extract survivors as the whole of London threatens to come down around their ears.
Buford 8:34 pm
I like the japanese idea
Deano 8:34 pm
Cool. We can work on expanding it a little
Kim Parker 8:34 pm
I like it too. Kinda B-movie in a good way. I like ninjas
rplay1990 8:34 pm
I like the Paris and Tokyo ideas a lot
Jet Black 8:34 pm
ninjas
Deano 8:35 pm
Why'd it hafta be ninjas?
Kim Parker 8:35 pm
Because Pirates dont exist in tokyo?
Deano 8:35 pm
lol
rplay1990 8:35 pm
they do
lol
Jet Black 8:35 pm
they're pirating ninjas
rplay1990 8:35 pm
:-P
Sack 8:35 pm
There are pirates in the indian ocean I believe.
Kim Parker 8:35 pm
Damn them.
Sack 8:35 pm
And madripoor
Deano 8:35 pm
Yeah thats the whole basis of the Starjammers here
Sack 8:36 pm
Speaking of madripoor
Children of the Atom
Essentially, X-Guard is contacted to aid in the rescue of a mutant being held captive in the country of madripoor. They have to go undercover, deal with the local crime elements and all that fun stuff, and guide the mutant out of the country. If you've seen children of Men, that's basically the premise.
Deano 8:36 pm
Take the floor Tim
rplay1990 8:36 pm
YES
Sack 8:36 pm
Eventually, X-Corps will be moving to Madripoor down the road, once we've established ourselves enough in the international community.
Right now it's kind of vague exactly HOW we will be doing that
Buford 8:37 pm
Isn't children of Men the one where all the women stop becoming fertile and there's no babies?
Sack 8:37 pm
We need to talk to madripoorians first and get things arranged, but the idea is that X-guard will be doing some things there, possibly working with the star jammers
Yeah
I had a few ideas just during this meeting about possibly dealing with some terrorist elements, such as Al Qaeda.
Sack 8:37 pm
Then U-Men.
But I heard XF-I and mutant hunters might be doing something with them too.
Deano 8:38 pm
We have an XFI'er in here
Sack 8:38 pm
So maybe we'll bridge that gap and work with them.
Jet?
Deano 8:38 pm
Jet and Jesse
So two
Sack 8:38 pm
And you
Deano 8:38 pm
Yea but nobody tells me nuffin
Sack 8:39 pm
Olga mentioned it, so that's how I heard about it.
Jet Black 8:39 pm
:-)
Sack 8:39 pm
Do we know if the MRA is going to be in play at all?
Buford 8:39 pm
XFI's lame. Mutant hunters 4 lyfe
Deano 8:39 pm
MRA
?
Sack 8:39 pm
Mutant Registration Act.
Jet Black 8:39 pm
ohhh!
no clue
Sack 8:40 pm
I remeber it being mentioned after the Purifier stuff
Deano 8:40 pm
Risman tried to introduce it but it got stepped on.
Sack 8:40 pm
Mmk.
Buford 8:40 pm
I believe the word is that its been shelved after the purifier's.
Sack 8:40 pm
I know it'll happen some day...
Works for me.
Buford 8:40 pm
as in, shelved by the authorities in game
Deano 8:40 pm
yeah
Sack 8:40 pm
I'm wondering if we can do things in conjunction with SHIELD as well.
X-Corps has a lot of flexibility with a lot of the factions.
Deano 8:40 pm
I'll bring that up when SHIELD has its meetups tomorroqw
-q
Sack 8:40 pm
As we're essentially the paramedics of the mutant-fighting world.
AmayaDeMorte 8:41 pm
XFI has a start up loan
so they'd do alot of volunteer work where needed
Deano 8:41 pm
Yeah but were there concrete plans for the U-Men, Jesse?
AmayaDeMorte 8:41 pm
not hat I know if
I just know everyone likes the idea
Sack 8:41 pm
Mmk, maybe we can mull on that some how and make it into a mini-big plot
Deano 8:41 pm
So we can cross-faction with that
yeah
Sack 8:41 pm
Morlocks/X-Factor/X-Corps
Sack 8:42 pm
Especially with the X-Men being revealed.
People want to hop into that groove and limelight.
Deano 8:42 pm
There has also been rumblings of doing something involving Fin Fang Foom but we haven't talked at all past the point of using him
Jet Black 8:43 pm
he was used long ago for a bunker mission
Sack 8:43 pm
Last time he was mentioned was in GFL
Jet Black 8:43 pm
but it went pfft
Deano 8:43 pm
I thought Foom got ditched in the bunker mission for Blastar and Annihilus
Sack 8:43 pm
He wasn't involved in that.
Jet Black 8:43 pm
i don't knwo anymore
Sack 8:44 pm
What are Snarks?
Deano 8:44 pm
Lizard aliens
They'd be adapted to XMR somehow
Experiments, mutates, underground monster things.
Sack 8:45 pm
mmk
Deano 8:45 pm
http://mimg.ugo.com/201005/44973/ugo-50al-snarks.jpg Sack 8:45 pm
What else...
Sack 8:46 pm
Oh, does anyone know how Children of the Vault are adapted for the board? Maybe we can do something with that and run into the BH
Deano 8:47 pm
I honestly haven't paid much attention. Best i can say is read Serafina's bio.
Sack 8:47 pm
A'ight.
I'm out of ideas on my end for the time being.
Deano 8:47 pm
Same
So much as I remember, its basically what it sounds like
Crazy lady took people underground
Sack 8:47 pm
Anyone else have any ideas as to what they want to do?
Deano 8:48 pm
Jet
Jet Black 8:48 pm
me
Deano 8:48 pm
I want you to think on some stuff we can do involving Dead Girl
There has to be some potential there.
Sack 8:48 pm
Oh. How long do they have to be dead for her to talk to them?
Jet Black 8:48 pm
one day or less
Sack 8:48 pm
Murder mystery
Deano 8:49 pm
Boom.
Jet Black 8:49 pm
hahaha!
love it
Deano 8:49 pm
Da Vinci Code style plot
Sack 8:49 pm
I was gonna say, if it's a few centuries we could pull a type of Hellboy
Deano 8:49 pm
HAHAH the russian?
Sack 8:49 pm
Fight us some Gnazis
Yeah
Jet Black 8:49 pm
hahaha trust me, some of the younger ded ones got some spark in their death-life
Deano 8:50 pm
We can definitely work some cool stuff out of that
Sack 8:51 pm
I'd like for everyone to at least try to come up with one plot where their character can be essential to its fruition. Better yet, work out one with one another where everyone gets a moment in the light.
Since we're expanding, we have a lot more chances to do something cool.
Deano 8:51 pm
Exactly.
Sack 8:51 pm
X-Corps has kinda been treading water with sharks swimming circles around it for a long time.
The expansion is meant to help fix that.
Deano 8:53 pm
So anyone else have something scathingly brilliant and fiendishly cleveR?
Sack 8:54 pm
or questions
rplay1990 8:55 pm
I kind of thought of something... Wouldn't it be interesting if some mutant who was against human mutant cooperation teleported and kidnapped someone integral to the expansion and x-guard had to recover the VIP from a teleporting menace?
Sack 8:56 pm
Maybe that could be why we go to madripoor
"HURHUR they'll never come here for this guy."
rplay1990 8:56 pm
It would be a fun way of moving around to all the places x-corp would go eventually
Sack 8:56 pm
"silly badguy..."
Deano 8:56 pm
bababa
hahaha even
I'd put Hartley up for that.
She's relatively defenseless.
Sack 8:56 pm
I don't know madripoor's stance on mutant/human cooperation.
rplay1990 8:56 pm
haha YAY
Sack 8:56 pm
lol poor hart
That'd be cool
Kel 8:56 pm
that's be great
rplay1990 8:56 pm
that way x-corp could have a plot pre-expansion
Sack 8:57 pm
Well, the expansion is underway right now
Deano 8:57 pm
Well the Expansion itself is. yeah
Sack 8:57 pm
Most of the building up is off-panel
rplay1990 8:57 pm
AND non x-guard people would have motivation to get involved too, all of x-corp would care about the VIP
Sack 8:57 pm
Because filing papers is boring.
Kel 8:57 pm
Faye would find a way to force his powers to behave for that
Sack 8:57 pm
you know
That's a good idea.
rplay1990 8:57 pm
:-)
Sack 8:57 pm
Faye feels a disturbance in the force
rplay1990 8:57 pm
happy to help
Deano 8:57 pm
Hartley: "I WILL SEE WHERE YOUR STUFF IS AT YOU! TO DEATH!"
Sack 8:57 pm
People go to hart's office, she's gone
It's messed up
There's a dead coworker
Sack 8:58 pm
Deadie does her thing
And it snowballs from there
rplay1990 8:58 pm
ooh lyric can listen to the past too
Deano 8:58 pm
That doesn't even have to involve the moving into Madripoor
Sack 8:58 pm
Psychometric hearing?
rplay1990 8:58 pm
sort of
Deano 8:58 pm
that could be retribution for them smuggling someone out.
Sack 8:58 pm
Yeah, that being madripoor is too soon.
Unless we want it fast
Deano 8:58 pm
I dont
Sack 8:58 pm
Me neither
Deano 8:58 pm
I want to work up to that
Madripoor is a big step and it's gonna take more than kind words and a fancy building to get setup there.
Sack 8:59 pm
It takes balls
rplay1990 8:59 pm
his intuitive filtering of soundwaves is refined enough to predict how the air molecules are moving now and the pathways they took to go there so he can effectively use his intuition to hear what has happened in the past
Deano 8:59 pm
And ours haven't dropped yet.
Sack 8:59 pm
lol we're just hitting puberty
Deano 8:59 pm
lmao
Sack 8:59 pm
We found our first red pube
rplay1990 8:59 pm
hahaha
Sack 9:00 pm
Alright, need to steer away from dirtiness.
Deano 9:00 pm
TANGENT
-kicks things back-
That is a good idea though.
Sack 9:00 pm
i think Hart being kidnapped could work as a good start off to this.
Deano 9:00 pm
That could actually work into the Hand thing
rplay1990 9:00 pm
kidnapped the night of the x-mas party?
or after?
Sack 9:00 pm
Nah, x-mas is too soon.
We need time to work out the plot itself
Deano 9:00 pm
Yeah
rplay1990 9:00 pm
haha cool beans
I'm excited
Sack 9:00 pm
If you all want, dean and I can work it out, take any ideas you guys have for it.
rplay1990 9:00 pm
I hope I'm in by then
Sack 9:01 pm
We'll make sure you are.
Deano 9:01 pm
Oh you will be
I've been slacking on app reviews as of late
Sack 9:01 pm
Poor mauris
Deano 9:01 pm
<.<
Deano 9:02 pm
Moving onnnnn
Jet Black 9:02 pm
isn't Hart in utopia during x-mas?
Deano 9:02 pm
Yeah
Until like January sixth
Jet Black 9:02 pm
:-D
yaaay!
Deano 9:02 pm
lol
Jet Black 9:02 pm
bobby's happy :-)
Deano 9:02 pm
Okay, if there are no other suggestions
I am going to sum this up, finish summing up the Morlock meeting, post a JP I meant to post last night, and probably head off.
Sack 9:03 pm
So nobody else has an idea?
Jet Black 9:04 pm
I'm good
Deano 9:04 pm
No ideas means YOU ARE BAD JET
COME ON
Jet Black 9:05 pm
-holds out hand for a smack-
Deano 9:05 pm
-smacks it-
Alright then
Jet Black 9:05 pm
ow.... -rubs hand-
Sack 9:05 pm
Rex, what are your ideas for Reyes/Kimmy joining?
Besides just joining
AmayaDeMorte 9:05 pm
he idled out
Sack 9:05 pm
Nm then.
Deano 9:05 pm
Reyes is going to speak with Hartley
Sack 9:05 pm
Mmk.
Deano 9:05 pm
We'll be getting access to the M-Town Medical center i think
Sack 9:06 pm
I thought we already had that.
off-pane
l
Deano 9:06 pm
News to me
But then we'll be getting even MORE access to the M-Town Med center
.lol
Sack 9:07 pm
Alright then. I guess Dean and I will work on the kick-off plot with the kidnapping.
Deano 9:07 pm
As far as Kimmy, i have no clue.
That's news to me
Alright then
Sack 9:07 pm
Groovy.
Deano 9:07 pm
Going once?\
Going twice?
Kel 9:07 pm
I'm all set.
Sack 9:07 pm
Thrice?
Deano 9:07 pm
-shoves an apple in Jet's mouth-
SOLD!
Jet Black 9:08 pm
-noms-
AmayaDeMorte 9:08 pm
lol
Deano 9:09 pm
Alright
Meeting adjourned
Thanks for coming.
