Loaded Question

This week's question:

Who would you like to catch under the mistletoe?

Mon, 05 Dec 2011 23:26:53 GMT

If you could have anything/anyone what would it/who be?

Ho ho ho

Happy Holidays

As my holiday gift to each of you that is interested, I give you a return on an investment.

In ten words or less, give me two characters and a prompt. (Prefer one of mine and one of yours, but if it's someone you think I know well, put whoever you like.) I will give you back at least 100 words.

<3 you all.

Welcome to the orgy

Wed, 05 Oct 2011 02:37:24 GMT

OOC Note: Despite the title, this thread retains the comm's slightly loose PG-13 rating. This thread is more for silliness... oh, and letting Stacy and Kerri know they missed the orgy, than it is for anything harder. Please feel free to mingle, socialize, flirt, show up in ridiculously sexy costumes, interact with people from the 'other' com, show off your fancy/skimpy clothing links, make out, snugglepile... whatever. Just keep it lighthearted and keep it silly. This is just a bit of fun.

IC:

Party time!
Someone gave Kelly some part in planning things - as such, wardrobe is strictly limited to suitable costumes for the orgy at the door, but weapons are entirely permissable. Indeed, some of the orgy presents might well be wired with explosives, so be careful if searching among the table of party favors.

There's all manner of refreshments - chocolate, chips, meat and veggie trays, bbq... as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages of all descriptions. Of course, don't necessarily trust the non-alcoholic section... the punch is almost certainly spiked, and who knows what else is, and with what.
For those willing to trust to the discretion of the house, various waiters and waitresses move about with trays of food and drinks, most of them dressed in some variant on the standard Chippendale or Playboy Bunny - though there's a selection of cabana boys and short-skirted car hops and the like as well.

There's music playing, soft enough people can talk, but still present. Anyone can change the music at any time if the current selection doesn't suit their fancy.

Likewise, the place is set up with comfy couches, love seats, overstuffed armchairs, comfy mats on the floor, piles of pillows and cushions... and then there's the private rooms.

Kelly herself is dressed in her yellow and black 'Dip Me in Honey and Throw Me to the Lesbians' t-shirt, and a pair of camouflage panties, with 'Go Commando' written in black across the butt, settled in among one of the cushion islands, waiting for the guests to start arriving.

Texts from last night

Sun, 18 Sep 2011 18:10:25 GMT

Saw this meme in a few places. I thought it was really funny so I thought I would put it up here.

* Post with your character
* Others respond with texts from TFLN or ones they've made up themselves.

*OR vice-versa. You start with a text and others respond.

*Hilarity

We've seen the end, let's get new beginnings going!

Thu, 15 Sep 2011 03:32:02 GMT

Endings and regrets are getting booooring, so here's a question for people...

Everyone has their crushes. If you could have one "no consequences" fling with absolutely anyone, who would it be with?

(Now with very reasonable rates for kidnapping suitable answers... brainwashing is extra.)

Keeping Track of things at the end of the world.

Thu, 08 Sep 2011 20:54:54 GMT

This post is to keep track of things for the reboot if we do the Kang plot

Please reply with the following:

1. Which character(s) you would like in the big fight at the end. Please remember we want to keep this moving as much as possible so if you volunteer characters you will be expected to ping with them in a timely manner. I would suggest one from MNG and one from DCNG. If you want more, go for it, but you will be expected to ping.

2. Any NPCs you are willing to temp. Again we will expect timely pings. We will need:

Kang
Mongol
Apocalypse
Temujin
Black Lantern Superman
Hadelinde Zemo
Masters of Evil http://marvelnextgen.wetpaint.com/page/Masters+of+Evil

Deviants - human and monsterform -
http://marvelnextgen.wetpaint.com/page/Deviants+-+Human+Form
http://marvelnextgen.wetpaint.com/page/Deviants+Monster+Forms

Gunnar - for a fight with Vincent
Alfrun in disguise as Svalin's maid.
A Titan of Myth
Asgard baddies - Frost Giants, Trolls, Dark Elves
Any Asgard people that people want to temp

3. Any moments of awesome you want to give your characters. For example if you want your character to take down a Frost Giant, please say so and we will help make it happen.

Thanks!

One Word

Mon, 05 Sep 2011 02:27:48 GMT

What's the one word that define's who you are?

For me it's defiance.

Alignment

Mon, 29 Aug 2011 02:03:14 GMT

So... what's yer alignment?

'm chaotic good.

Sun, 21 Aug 2011 05:05:55 GMT

All right, probably been asked before, but seeing as how I just got a pretty dang decent job as the new security director for Project Pegasus, which I actually really like. Good people to work with, and occasionally really exciting and sometimes panic inducing too. But I like it.

So, question. Right. So whats your dream (or maybe not dream if you've achieved it) non-hero job?

Mon, 15 Aug 2011 03:23:34 GMT

So I'm known for setting cereal on fire (Toni will never let me live that down), but I would one day like to be known as someone who changed the world.

What are you currently known for and what would you like to be known for one day?

Truth or Dare

Sat, 13 Aug 2011 03:07:40 GMT

Ask any of one person's characters - in your OOC voice (It's not the characters asking, in other words) - any question /you/ have about them. The characters will have to answer OR they will accept a writer challenge from you regarding a scene or a plot bunny.

For example:
You: X, have you ever done something you knew was wrong but did it anyway?
X: I refuse to answer that.
You: Okay then I want to see you in a plot involving Y and at least one rabid squirrel...

The rules:

1) Please no massively out of character or gross "dares." If you think it is out of character, let the asker know quietly. Their idea of "a nice date out," when your character doesn't date might just be coffee and conversation with an NPC - or they could lack an understanding about how you want to play the character. It's all for fun/education anyway.
2) Keep it to the PG 13 level.
3) Do not give the dares time limits (i.e. in the next plot you have to...)
4) If you want to set your own characters up for Truth or Dare, respond to this on your own thread and then list the characters you play so that we may question them. Others will respond to your post with any questions.
5) Address the questions to the characters (either "All of you:" or one specific character) so that one and others know who you are asking.
6) None of this can be used against the characters...yet. If this breeds plot bunnies - great. But if it's revealed character #1 is having issues with character #2 then character #2 did not read it here. Like the other memes or Loaded Questions, it's OOC info, but IC reactions and answers.

Hobbies

Fri, 05 Aug 2011 17:04:34 GMT

What's something you do for fun, and something you do because you're driven to (but hopefully enjoy that too)?

Writing a song is fun, but I can't imagine NOT making clothes.

We all have our Eccentricities

Wed, 03 Aug 2011 02:59:10 GMT

What is your weirdest pet peeve? Myself, I like the Rocky Horror Show, but I dislike all the shouting at the screen and throwing things. Dress-up's fun, but it's just not necessary to talk over the whole show.

Skills. Do you have them?

Sun, 24 Jul 2011 22:49:53 GMT

What's something new you've learned in the past year?

I learned how to make triple-cherry pie.

Mon, 11 Jul 2011 02:09:01 GMT

Okay, I gotta ask. What's your favorite cartoon?

Looney Tunes all the way.
