Geez3r Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 ... *blink* ... See, this is why I just threw a lot of guns on the battlesuit and called it a day.
Sandman XI Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 I just said it was magic and was done with it... sorta :P
Dr Archeville Posted February 11, 2009 Author Posted February 11, 2009 Yes, Doc's Good Side is siding with the Villain, and his Bad Side is siding with the Hero. ;)
Geez3r Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Still here. I was waiting to Toptomcat to post, we've both kind of said our goodbyes to him, so it would be a little weird for us to carry on before he did the same.
Dr Archeville Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 Toptom, how public is the knowledge that Benjiro's parents were killed in Devil Ray's bank robbery? For that matter, how public is the knowledge that Micheal's father was killed during a metahuman brawl?
Toptomcat Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Public, but not terrifically well-documented or widely commented on. It's probably on his Wikipedia page, but as a footnote and with a 'citation needed' tag.
Geez3r Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Yep, I would consider Eric's mind a little blown by that post Dr. A :)
Toptomcat Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Yeah, that post impressed me. I think I've got a germ of an idea for an interesting followup sometime in the next month or so, should you decide to go through with the merger. Benjiro comes to Eric and lets him know, apparently in all innocence, that while performing the due diligence investigations for the merger he discovered some accounting and inventory management irregularities consistent with someone pursuing an unauthorized side project, and asking him for help to track down the perpetrator. If we could figure out some way to segue into Shinken and Malice coming into conflict in their armored identities without realization of that fact coming into play on either side- at least for the first dust-up- that would be grand.
Geez3r Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Hrmmm, I had always thought of it as Eric buying some of the stuff legit out of his own pocket, but going through several dummy corporations so it would be hard to trace directly back to him. That being said, I am totally willing to throw that all out the window for the sake of plot But the question remains, how to get Malice and Shinken in a slug fest without either knowing who the other is inside the suit, at least at first.
Toptomcat Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Hmmmm. Perhaps Benjiro's investigations point to one of the dummy corporations, and he offhandedly mentions dispatching Shinken to the scene that night to find out more?
Dr Archeville Posted March 12, 2009 Author Posted March 12, 2009 Or maybe Archeville begins playing both sides against the other, for his own insane reasons. Like, seeing who has the better tech. Actually, he could play a definite role in setting up the conflict, shuttling communications and info between you two, and tipping off one or the other where necessary.
Geez3r Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 You love toying with me Doc don't you? First you mess with my head in Power Check, and now here? I thought we were friends Doc! But this sounds like a pretty cool idea, this could cause a whole chain of events which would grow into a pretty deep rivalry, and throw in Doc's manipulations, we've got ourselves a story arc.
Dr Archeville Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 Geez3r, would you like the last word here, or shall I close it now?
Geez3r Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I think that's a good close, and now we can start the wheels turning for the continuation of the story arc. Any ideas as to what the heck we should call it?
Dr Archeville Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 Hrmm... Black Ink, Red Ink, Good Knight, Bad Knight The Bottom Line Competition Opposition Strange Bedfellows Three Can Keep A Secret If Two Are Dead
Geez3r Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I like "Three Can Keep A Secret If Two Are Dead" personally.
Dr Archeville Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 Sorry, I thought I already had locked and archived this!
