PACT PLOTTING

[roadroller]

With Week 4 being our very first Duet mode, it seems a good time to start plotting out pacts again!

So feel free to post here with your personals ad your ideas as far as partnering up. This does not have to be limited to Players as Reaper Pacts are entirely possible.

HI XION DIED AND NOW SHES A PLAYER.

SHE THINKS THIS SUCKS who wants to partner with her she is v. strong and capable okay

she also used to be a reaper.

[suicidoll]

HI KREUTZER GOT DEMOTED AND NOW SHE'S A PLAYER TOO

Except she's blind because that's her entrance fee.

But she has Eyes Full of Hope as her pin because I'm a cruel bastard! Matching pins!

Possibilities?

[poppetstrings]

ALL OF THE POSSIBILITIES.

Xion lost her face her-- no thats about right. SHE'S PRETTY MUCH A DEAD-EYED DOLL THAT CANT SPEAK.

[suicidoll]

SO A MUTE GIRL AND A BLIND GIRL TEAM UP AGAINST ALL ODDS

Sounds like a sitcom in the making. Or Katawa Shoujo: TWEWY Edition.

[poppetstrings]

omg omg fnhjsdfhf

GRATS I SPIT MY APPLE CIDER ALL OVER MY SCREEN.

yes can we i fully support this

[suicidoll]

I have my moments of genius. Too bad they often play out like Cards Against Humanity.

Therefore yes, I am all for this. My internet is scheduled to come back tomorrow and I'll throw her at the mission post once that's taken care of.

Then the feelsfest can begin.

[poppetstrings]

CANT WAIT AWW YES--

how are they even going to communicate oh my god.

[suicidoll]

...uhh...

One knock for yes and two for no?

Though she can probably write things out on Kreutz's palm when things are calm. Otherwise, I've got nothing.

[poppetstrings]

this is going to be hilarious either way....

[suicidoll]

Especially since they can't really talk mid-battle. I'm imagining moments of DON'T THINK FEEL

...Also until she gets other pins, Kreutz's only means of attack is focusing her attention on enemies. Which is kinda hard when you can't see them.

It's the most tragic of trainwrecks and I want this like burning.

[poppetstrings]

and xion will just stand there looking ominous while secretly frustrated she's dead and cant communicate effectively

and has doll joints.

DONT LET ANYONE POP HER ARM OFF PLEASE

...actually now she can pop her arm off and beat people with it

[suicidoll]

...There's twisted irony in the fact that Kreutzer is a doll maker. At the very least, she's very familiar with doll maintenance.

And with a telekinesis pin, she can essentially rocket punch people

[poppetstrings]

BRB SHIPPING THEM IN HELL--

i mean uh

fuck yeah!!!

[suicidoll]

The road to Hell is paved with good ships.

It's true; Confucius said so in the Old Testament.

[poppetstrings]

bless Confucius. she was a brilliant man

[roadroller]

So with Rin, I don't have any big plans! She'd be pretty easy to get along with as a partner, although her combat skills might swing below average at first.

And IDK here's her pin deck I guess if you want to base it on strategy.

[slacksoff]

Ol' lazy butt here's lost his partner to the RG; he's probably gonna be running for his life and looking for players to partner up with for the sake of...well, staying alive. He's only really used two pins; Sexy D and Velocity Attack. He's mostly physical on the offensive end of the spectrum.

But yeah. I don't have any plans otherwise, so if one doesn't mind a temporary partnership then I don't mind throwing him with anyone~

[roadroller]

Hm, by temporary, what do you mean? Are you thinking of reviving him or making him a reaper or something?

[slacksoff]

...Unless I don't know the whole story with the Reapers punishment and whatnot (I'll need to ask Riki about this, orz) but if the punishment is simply for the week, that's what I mean by temporary.

I need to ask Riki about it, but unless Django stays in the RG, he was probably gonna go back to having him as a partner.

If it's not that way, I understand though! ...Still need to ask Riki about it, though, so don't take this with anything more than a grain of salt. lD;

[roadroller]

Right, right. I wasn't sure what the plan was with Django either. Still, it's not that easy to swap around a pact so if Django does come back as a Player, you'd probably want to find a partner who's considering a switch in roles.

... Which I have been >u> But I'm undecided right now. So yeah, ask Riki!

[suicidoll]

SO I KNOW THIS IS LATE AS HELL BUT I SHOULD JUMP IN TO THIS CONVERSATION:

I spoke with Sword about this situation prior and he reminded me about the rule of people only allowed to have one player and one reaper at a time. Since Kreutz's punishment was to be a Player for a week, I had to bump Django into the RG to avoid causing any kind of conflict.

My only concern right now is deciding whether or not I want Kreutzer to be put through a second week as a Player. It'd be nice to play her like that a bit more, but things are convenient as they are with one week since I can play off Django's return to the game as getting killed during the Nyx battle on the last day. Then Kreutz would become a reaper again and everything goes back to the way it was 8D

In short: Leon got screwed out of a partner was because I greedily wanted character development with Kreutzer. Sorry, Sakon ^^'

BUT YES THAT'S THE WHOLE STORY PRETTY MUCH

[roadroller]

Right. Well, I think I decided I want to keep Rin as a Player for a little while longer, so I guess it'll depend on if you are bringing Django back to the UG next week or not. I'd gladly ask someone else if you're going with that and want to have Django and Leon team up again.

[suicidoll]

If anything, I'm totally okay with Rin replacing Django as Leon's partner! I'll figure out what to do with Django when the time comes, so if worst comes to worst, he can find a new partner to work with.

[slacksoff]

No no! Don't worry about it at all, Riki--I completely understood in the first place, and I'm definitely excited to continue to see what you have in action. (Also, Kreutz and Xion are totally fun to watch.)

Please don't apologize, man. I'm sorry if I was sounding pushy at all. If I did, I really, really didn't mean to. DX

[suicidoll]

No no, you weren't pushy! I just felt like I didn't tell you the whole story, is all. I tend to get rather Kreutz-centric and sort of give her priority in RP things sometimes. And she's also rather fun to torture

I'm definitely going to have things figured out by the end of the in-game week, but hey, it's totally cool if Leon wants to replace Django as his partner. He's gotta survive somehow!

[hamtartarus]

Lemme just throw Hamuko out here. Combat-skill wise, I think she would still retain most of her naginata wielding or strategy skills, since that's not TECHNICALLY part of her entry fee but rather the whole Dark Hour business and I assume she would have that outside of the game (since she's in a couple of clubs and she wields the naginata like a natural so--)

UH I HAVEN'T TOSSED HER IN ANY FIGHTS YET SO I GUESS SHE ONLY REALLY HAS ICHIMOJI? I assume she'd be hella flexible once she gets into the business of things!
