Dream-merge stuff

[theignorantfool]

Okay, as predicted I pretty much failed at everything the last couple of days because my life has been a big ball of wtf.

Now that it's out of the way though, there are tags and things to do.


Basically I'm just making this post because I am super OCD about organizing timeline stuff so now that I'm back- I was wondering if anyone that's planning to do a dream-merge with Ed has specific day(s) they want their's to be on?

Technically speaking he should have one for every night, so I figure it would be easier to work out in a post where everyone can see each other's preferences, rather than try to sort it in individual threads- unless multiples can be done in one night.

Yvaine - no preference
Kotetsu - Friday.
Frodo - no preference
Selina - no preference
Ritsuka - no preference
Alice - Thursday.
Twilight - no preference

Obviously some are going to have be backdated by this point.

Going to get back to replies on individual threads and whatnot now.

Edit: In case anyone swings by to see what the results turned out to be (and what night they're on) since no one had a preference I left Alice and Kotetsu on Thursday and Friday. Everyone else is listed as "no preference" so for when I'm just going to post it as "sometime during the new moon event", if specifics are needed somewhere along the way later we can just make it up as we go along.

I don't have a preference at all! Whatever's easier on you!

;Kjdsf I've been pretty slow too. I hope I'm not holding stuff up or anything...!

[theignorantfool]

not at all! Ed was just re-accepted this month so I don't have AC to hit or anything.

[wheeloffire]

Oh good, good! As long as you're okay. :D

Usually I'm NO PREFERENCE but in an effort to actually be helpful for once, maybe backdate to Friday? All of Kotetsu's current stuff started up over the weekend. If that doesn't work I'm totally flexible, though!

[theignorantfool]

Tentative Friday works for me! If there's someone else that's booked except for Friday I will let you know so we can move around that.

*thumbs-up!* :3

[madcuriosity]

No preference! Feel free to put me where you need to!

[theignorantfool]

I was just thinking! Thursday (1/31) is Ed's birthday for me, so that could be something we could incorporate into Alice's world pretty easy with the whole "unbirthday" thing.

Ed would ruin the whole experience by it actually being his birthday.

[moonlit_star]

Sounds fun!

[marearcana]

No preference. None at all.

And trust me, I know the feeling of life kicking you in the face.

[theignorantfool]

Life is special like that, isn't it...

For Ed and Twilight I was actually thinking of having Ed dream about a library/books (because I am the most creative one!) and have the surrounding library or whatever building become Twilight's house maybe?

Let me know if you can work with that, or would prefer to do something else.

[marearcana]

Sometimes, yeah.

It's simple and effective; I like it.

[philip_charming]

Hmm, I like the idea but I'm not sure I'm ready to jump in on this with these two yet.

[theignorantfool]

I don't think we could with these two since the plot is meant to build CR with characters your character doesn't already know. I would consider them too acquainted, I think, to qualify.

[philip_charming]

Hmm, really? They've only interacted a couple times, with perhaps some assistance of offscreen time working on the city wall; they might know something of each other's capabilities, but not much else. I mean, to Philip Edward is 'That youngling whut has a metal hand and does them thar alchemy', which isn't the same thing as actually KNOWING him.

But given the circumstances, I'm really not sure why I'm arguing for this. >_>

[theignorantfool]

lmao yeah the idea I got from the mod post was if they already have CR and thus an IC foot in the door to get to know each other, not to use them for this event. That's how I read it anyway, so I used it that way. Characters that I thought would be really neat to have CR with that might never meet otherwise.

Philip could always walk into one of the merged dreams if you'd rather go that route though, most of Eds will probably be open and disturbing!

[philip_charming]

Ah, my interpretation was 'characters that didn't have a preexisting relationship', such as buddies you already do stuff with all the time. Hey, either way works!

But as I'm still working on getting this whole setup clear in my head, I'm not sure this is the way to go yet. Perhaps in future, I hope!

I need a less pissy looking default icon, I swear

[theignorantfool]

After re-reading, I apparently came to that conclusion from this wording in the event post:

"Meet new faces. The individuals that end up together are going to be surprised for a lot of reasons, one of them being that they will likely not recognize the other person."

they later explain a few tags together could still qualify, but I went with the complete stranger/wouldn't recognize said person angle. /always really interested by the number of ways things can be interpreted.


I do hope another opportunity comes up, I am really enjoying plotting these dreams! That would be really cool.
