Dear General Staal.... [Advice Meme - Insert Problem, Receive...'Advice.']

Mon, 15 Mar 2021 03:37:41 GMT

Posted by: general_staal

The feed that is coming across seems to be coming from a very long way away - and for a few moments, you would be forgiven for thinking you were being addressed by an armored baked potato. But this isn't a potato, oh no. This is a Sontaran. And if you know anything at all about Sontarans...this isn't the message you'll be expecting to receive from one.

"Greetings, Pitiful Residents of the planet known as Earth. I am General Staal - of the Tenth Sonataran fleet!" He looks very proud about that, and even prouder about what follows. "Staal the Undefeated!"

He begins to walk, the camera panning to follow him across the bridge of a starship of some kind, with themes in blues and purples. It looks a bit like someone took something from the television of the 1950s and was poorly copying it. Which was, in point of fact, what was going on. They were the signals intercepted, and an entire department of Sontaran Intelligence was busy trying to decipher whether or not there was a deeper importance or meaning behind this 'Perry Mason' fellow. And they had no idea what to make out of that Hitchcock person.

"As a future resource-planet in the Glorious Sontaran Empire, it has been decided that we bring you our wisdom, as a star-faring species, and in the many ways we are more advanced than your ridic- young little planet."

He sits on the edge of what seems to be a hastily-made copy of a human desk. Oh, by the stars, they've built a fireplace behind it.

"We have intercepted many transmissions asking for help, and have decided to answer them. Please submit all of your queries, and I will provide you with all the advice a Sontaran general can provide. I will provide you with such advice as to leave your 'Ann Landers' in the proverbial dust!"

"Begin submitting missives!"

[This is meant as a bit of fun for everybody, and you can ask questions of the General either in character or out. If you need a bit of background, Sontarans are an enemy of the Doctor in Doctor Who, past and present. Here's a clip if you'd like a sense of the character's voice. I'll happily respond in prose, brackets, whatever style you want! Hopefully we'll have a few laughs together. And later on, who knows, someone might try to provide...better advice.]

Your challenge if you accept it:

Drop your character list below (and any other characters you played earlier), and then while waiting for your fellow players to drop you prompts for any/all characters/etc., wander around and drop prompts (lyrics, images, anything your heart can think to) on other players. No requirements to fill these prompts, no guilt if the inspiration doesn't strike, only fun and possible drabbles, snippets, and fics here, whether you're reading or writing!

That's right, it's time for that kiss at midnight! Whether you're compelled to give it by some unseen force or you just really want to kiss the person next to you, now is the time to go for it! Maybe some other kind of fireworks will fly tonight, who knows.

Kisses too cliche? No worries! Tell us in your top level how your character intends to celebrate their NYE! Write starters, offer prompts, or just let others come to them. 2020's finally over!

ON MY WAY

T E S T D R I V E M E M E

Considering apping into MASK OR MENACE? Want to dip your toes into the setting and get a feel of whether your character will fit into it? Or maybe you're just cruising and want to play around? Then you've come to the right place!

Pick any of the following scenarios below or feel free to make up your own, but don't be afraid to throw yourself at someone else's thread, either!

And remember there's only one rule in Test Drive Meme Club: HAVE FUN ON THE TEST DRIVE MEME!

01.The city of Heropa is what one might expect from a small, bright and cheery place, where locals are friendly enough and local shop owners might offer a free drink to welcome you to their fair city.

WOOF WOOF! This Friday is National Take Your Dog to Work Day, and everyone seems to be out with their pooch, enjoying the summer sun! (At least until they start to sweat and have to make a beeline for someplace with air conditioning.) However, the thing about superheroes is that their work can take them anywhere, and with the Top ImPort contest leading the news, EVERY imPort is a hero in the minds of the public!

Got a costume on? Here's a corgi. In line for an iced coffee? Come kiss this old lady's schnauzer. Allergic to dogs? Have a Claritin...and then brace yourself as this Great Dane tries to sit on you. And be sure to smile! Can you imagine how many likes a pic of the coolest new imPort cuddling man's best friend will get?

02. De Chima, Virginia, is a large city with a healthy economy, with large numbers of citizens waiting to be awed by your very presence. Look at you! Organic wonder! Synthetic wonder! Whatever you might be, those words have meaning here. Science and technology are the lifeblood of this city, so you're likely to come across a good many locals taking your picture with the newest of devices. The imPort craze remains high here, and you may find yourself cornered by overzealous imPort fans, media wannabes and opportunists alike, shoving cameras in your face.

Today, a company that manufactures tech-based educational toys—"Where Science Meets Fun!"—is running a demo of its latest project, Quincy the QuizBot. Filled with information taken from the curricula of many grade levels, Quincy is whirring through the streets to conduct pop quizzes! Answer a question right, win a prize, ranging from a coupon for a free soda at the local fast food joint to a $100 gift card, based on difficulty!

Except...something's gone wrong with Quincy's programming. An hour or two into the demo session, he starts to approach passersby and demand answers. "WHAT IS THE SQUARE ROOT OF 47284? CAN YOU LIST THE PHARAOHS OF EGYPT IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER? ANSWER-ANSWER-ANSWER-ANSWER!"

03. Maurtia Falls, Pennsylvania has carried a reputation for ups and downs ever since imPorts began reappearing again, just those few years prior. Several imPort heroes have put focused efforts into cleaning up the streets of this somewhat infamous city, while a handful of others had swooped in to help the criminal industry thrive. More so here than the streets of any other imPort city, the battle between good and evil looks more like a war of escalation than a heroic tale. Everything from the classic bank heist to brutal bloodbaths can happen around the corner. You have to keep your eyes open and your mind sharp when you live in Maurtia Falls, and hostility against imPorts can spike. The emergence of locals with superpowers is hardly helping...

Despite the lack of gratitude that's in it for you, you may want to step in once you see a very, very sad supervillain wandering Maurtia Falls' streets. Dressed in a cape that appears to be a large swath of fabric purchased from a nearby sewing store, galaxy-themed leggings and no shirt is a man who runs right into your vicinity before striking a pose and yelling, "Everyone, stop before me and my wrath! I am Mister Mars, and provided you give me what I ask for, nobody needs to get hurt!"

At which point Mister Mars snatches an old woman's purse, loudly laughs in her face, and begins to float upwards. By the time he reaches the height of the tallest building in the area, he's beginning to look slightly panicked as he fails to really be able to move anywhere but up. Meanwhile, the old woman has begun shaking her cane at him and screaming quite an assortment of alarming expletives.

Maybe you should help one or the other out? If not, just lean back and enjoy the show.

04. Nonah, North Carolina, is the liveliest of all cities; loud, busy and there's always some kind of energy in the air that gets everyone buzzing with excitement.

Welcome, everyone, to the sugar fueled festivity that is National Hot Fudge Sundae Day. The celebration is taking place on two closed down city blocks, with a market in between them selling all the pun filled souvenir shirts and stuffed ice cream cone toys, fudge bottle body pillows, and every kind of craft fair knickknack in between, that you can imagine. The powers that be in Nonah have clearly tried to divide the celebrations up into the ice cream and ‘normal’ food sides, but this is America. They can’t tell you what to do. Go try those meat and potato ‘fudge sundae’ monstrosities or cover your ice cream in wine from an adult beverage cart. Dip your deep-fried cheese in hot fudge. Disgusting food choices are in the constitution (somewhere).

But on the pure ice cream side, there are certainly enough choices to make ‘real’ food not super necessary. In addition to your normal food flavors that range from the tame you’d see in any ice cream parlor, or the slightly more hipster flavors like ‘lavender’ or ‘bacon maple,’ there are existential flavors. Yes, inspired by some previous imPorts, these flavors induce a specific emotion in the person while they eat it, which lasts up to about 10 minutes after the dessert has been consumed. These range all over, from ‘full cell phone battery’ to ‘the bitter-sweet satisfaction of vengeance against your sworn enemy.’ Maybe try a ‘puppy love’ and ‘first day of autumn’ twist covered in fudge for a true moment of contentment. It’s all in your hands. Careful though, things like ‘moment you first realized your parents were only human’ or ‘pain of failure’ are also available, though obviously not as popular. Hopefully, you don’t create an emotionally devastating mix out of curiosity (or a prank on another imPort).

In addition to ice cream, there are all kinds of family fun activities to pick from. Traditional carnival themed games have been set up, with the normal employees yelling at the crowd to attract attention. Throw a ball in a milk can, get a goldfish in a an (empty glass) ice cream cup! Pop balloons with dulled darts, get a sprinkles themed pair of sunglasses. This is Nonah, though, which means hard work deserves a reward. The bigger prizes for big point getters are a little insane: genetically modified fish that can breathe air, stuffed animals the size of a minivan, a free years worth of ice cream (to be taken home all at once now). There are also some bounce houses and slides that kids and adults alike can enjoy, just no ice cream allowed inside the rides

05. Jeopardy, Nevada by all rights shouldn't exist. A glowing neon city smack in the middle of the desert, the only reason it's still here is that the central nuclear power plant has tapped half a mile down into a subterranean lake for its water supply. So though the desert around it may be barren, the occupants of this small city are happily self sufficient. Those weird figures you see out of the corner of your eyes? Don't worry too much. Probably just weird radiation after effects. Jeopardy has a lot of those.

Welcome to the Church of the Ancient Webmistress' annual cookie sale! To raise money for a variety of community organizations, card tables line the street where the church is located, and boy, do these baked goods look delicious! Cookies, brownies, pies and more are all for sale for very reasonable prices--and to help out such a good cause, you're definitely going to buy some. Right, hero? The watching crowds certainly expect you to set a good example (when they're not busy purchasing tasty treats themselves.)

It seems there's been a mistake, though--mixed in with the cookies frosted to look like spiders are, er, a tray of someone's special brownies. Edibles, as it were (though everything here is edible--and delicious!) Just try to keep it together, okay? After all, there are kids here, and you're a role model! Or possibly not, but if you end up feeling the need to stare at your own hand for an hour, maybe find a side street. Or at least purchase some extra munchies to support any number of charities.

04. Nonah, North Carolina, is the liveliest of all cities; loud, busy and there's always some kind of energy in the air that gets everyone buzzing with excitement.

Many events are taking place in Nonah, North Carolina for this year’s Midsummer festivities. Regardless of age and gender, flower wreaths of many sizes and colours adorn the heads of both natives and imPorts. If you’re without one, you can expect to have a multi-coloured wreath pressed into your hands, silken ribbons hanging at the back. Unfortunately, they’re not a One Size Fits All; your wreath could be too big to fit properly on your head and could be worn as an awkward necklace of sorts, or your wreath is a little on the small size. Small enough to be worn as a bracelet. Be warned—the flowers are a big part of the celebration, it’s best not to damage them, or the natives might hold it against you until the next Midsummer event.

Now, what’s something that pairs nicely with flowers? Strawberries! That’s right! It’s the strawberry harvest! Grab a basket, grab a friend (or venture off alone), and take a walk through one of the many strawberry fields found in the city parks, see what you can find to claim for a tasty, healthy snack. Or a gummy treat. It’s going to be hit or miss, you might get away with filling your basket with real delicious fruits or you might end up enough strawberry shaped gummies to give yourself a cavity or two.

If you’ve had plenty to drink, as what Midsummer event would be complete without day-drinking, and you feel like joining the natives for a bit of a frog dance around poles wrapped in colourful ribbon, hop on over and be prepared to not only join in on the dance but the singing as well. “The small frogs, the small frogs, are funny to look at. No tails, no tails, they have no tails. No ears, no ears, they have no ears.”

While these lyrics may be innocently sung and everyone looks to be having a grand ol’ time, the more times the words are repeated, imPorts might begin to take notice of certain bits of themselves changing. Perhaps your skin has begun to turn green? Perhaps the lyrics are no longer words but a series of croaking, as everything around you grows taller and taller. Or wait, maybe that’s just you beginning to shrink...

05. Jeopardy, Nevada by all rights shouldn't exist. A glowing neon city smack in the middle of the desert, the only reason it's still here is that the central nuclear power plant has tapped half a mile down into a subterranean lake for its water supply. So though the desert around it may be barren, the occupants of this small city are happily self sufficient. Those weird figures you see out of the corner of your eyes? Don't worry too much. Probably just weird radiation after effects. Jeopardy has a lot of those.

Welcome to the Midsummer festival of Jeopardy. What is affectionately known by natives and imPorts alike as the ‘Spider Church’ of the city has set up several charmingly on brand festivities for all to partake in to celebrate the solstice. Church members throughout the city are easier to spot than normal, adorned in black linen tunics with glistening, rainbow colored webs stitched on them. They are handing out information about the church and inviting everyone to their weekly bingo nights as normal, but also hand out black and purple flowers as people pass by.

The first area likely to catch the eye is the free food festival taking up nearly all of main street, with spider themed foods at every booth and food truck. Spider-themed varies between each vendor, with some being silly like fake chocolate spiders in ice cream cones or deep fried dough sprinkled with ‘spider eggs’ (clumped white sugar), to much more literal ones like fried cricket tacos or yogurt covered ants. Experience something new! Or stick to the dyed black lemonade and candy flowers, take your pick.

In town center, right in front of the church itself, is a large Spider May Pole. Much that your traditional may pole, it involves lots of ribbons streaming down around a large pole, just for this one the ribbons are called ‘legs’ and a large spider body sits atop the pole. There is dancing competition happening all day, with the last ones standing winning the grand prize of being the Spider King and Queen, who then get to sit on the central float of the midsummer parade scheduled to take place at sunset that evening.

After the sunset parade, bonfires are lit throughout the city. Members of the church solemnly gather the flowers and festive decorations of the day and burn them in the fires, wishing for a glorious rebirth of summer from the ashes. There are also s’mores stations and lots of drunken singing to celebrate, if the ritual burning is a little much for you.

HEY EVERYONE! Eileen here with her newly-rediscovered and very stylish sock journal for a fun low-key meme: Favorite Icons!

How it works:

1. Post your journals
2. People look in the icon pages and pick their fave
3. They use img src tags and don't have to fight plurk's tempermentality to link their favorite icon of yours!
4. Explain? Don't explain? EITHER IS FINE let's just all admire the pretty pretty pictures because we know. yes this is a writing hobby but we know. icons are Important.

Considering apping into MASK OR MENACE? Want to dip your toes into the setting and get a feel of whether your character will fit into it? Or maybe you're just cruising and want to play around? Then you've come to the right place!

Pick any of the following scenarios below or feel free to make up your own, but don't be afraid to throw yourself at someone else's thread, either!

And remember there's only one rule in Test Drive Meme Club: HAVE FUN ON THE TEST DRIVE MEME!

01.The city of Heropa is what one might expect from a small, bright and cheery place, where locals are friendly enough and local shop owners might offer a free drink to welcome you to their fair city.

Unfortunately, tragedy has struck today. It seems like the entire Heropa PD is parked out of a local, popular grocery chain. A huge crowd is amassed in the parking lot despite the best efforts of officers to get them to leave. They whisper about excitement and shame, and you don't have to ask if you just listen in a bit...

"What do you think he'll do to the employees? He sounded so serious..." "He really wants that pussy, huh?" "If I left my man for cheating on me, I'd take the damn cat, too!" "How does he think taking her and her coworkers hostage is gonna make her change her mind about him being a bad boyfriend?" "My wife is pregnant, please - if I don't get her favorite deli sub I might as well not go home!"

Domestic disputes! Tragic. The police aren't too sure how to handle this hostage situation, claiming the man only has a box cutter and isn't actually waving it around at the moment, but...are you an imPort? They'd really appreciate the help, okay. Get in there and counsel the unhappy couple. Or not!

02. De Chima, Virginia, is a large city with a healthy economy, with large numbers of citizens waiting to be awed by your very presence. Look at you! Organic wonder! Synthetic wonder! Whatever you might be, those words have meaning here. Science and technology are the lifeblood of this city, so you're likely to come across a good many locals taking your picture with the newest of devices. The imPort craze remains high here, and you may find yourself cornered by overzealous imPort fans, media wannabes and opportunists alike, shoving cameras in your face.

Today, a company that manufactures tech-based educational toys—"Where Science Meets Fun!"—is running a demo of its latest project, Quincy the QuizBot. Filled with information taken from the curricula of many grade levels, Quincy is whirring through the streets to conduct pop quizzes! Answer a question right, win a prize, ranging from a coupon for a free soda at the local fast food joint to a $100 gift card, based on difficulty!

Except...something's gone wrong with Quincy's programming. An hour or two into the demo session, he starts to approach passersby and demand answers. "WHAT IS THE SQUARE ROOT OF 47284? CAN YOU LIST THE PHARAOHS OF EGYPT IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER? ANSWER-ANSWER-ANSWER-ANSWER!"

03. Maurtia Falls, Pennsylvania has carried a reputation for ups and downs ever since imPorts began reappearing again, just those few years prior. Several imPort heroes have put focused efforts into cleaning up the streets of this somewhat infamous city, while a handful of others had swooped in to help the criminal industry thrive. More so here than the streets of any other imPort city, the battle between good and evil looks more like a war of escalation than a heroic tale. Everything from the classic bank heist to brutal bloodbaths can happen around the corner. You have to keep your eyes open and your mind sharp when you live in Maurtia Falls, and hostility against imPorts can spike. The emergence of locals with superpowers is hardly helping...

Despite the lack of gratitude that's in it for you, you may want to step in once you see a very, very sad supervillain wandering Maurtia Falls' streets. Dressed in a cape that appears to be a large swath of fabric purchased from a nearby sewing store, galaxy-themed leggings and no shirt is a man who runs right into your vicinity before striking a pose and yelling, "Everyone, stop before me and my wrath! I am Mister Mars, and provided you give me what I ask for, nobody needs to get hurt!"

At which point Mister Mars snatches an old woman's purse, loudly laughs in her face, and begins to float upwards. By the time he reaches the height of the tallest building in the area, he's beginning to look slightly panicked as he fails to really be able to move anywhere but up. Meanwhile, the old woman has begun shaking her cane at him and screaming quite an assortment of alarming expletives.

Maybe you should help one or the other out? If not, just lean back and enjoy the show.

04. Nonah, North Carolina, is the liveliest of all cities; loud, busy and there's always some kind of energy in the air that gets everyone buzzing with excitement.

Today there's a big lemonade stand on one busy sidewalk, staffed by a group of industrious kids. Aww, isn't it sweet? Wait...is that a cookie stand a little ways down, also run by elementary-to-middle schoolers? Heck, the entire block is full of kid-run mini-businesses — a gathering of pint-sized entrepreneurs! And they have their eyes on you, hero, because as a celebrity imPort, your pockets are full of $$$, right?

05. Jeopardy, Nevada by all rights shouldn't exist. A glowing neon city smack in the middle of the desert, the only reason it's still here is that the central nuclear power plant has tapped half a mile down into a subterranean lake for its water supply. So though the desert around it may be barren, the occupants of this small city are happily self sufficient. Those weird figures you see out of the corner of your eyes? Don't worry too much. Probably just weird radiation after effects. Jeopardy has a lot of those.

Despite the weird constant hum and the creepy cultish bingo, Jeopardy is usually a pretty calm place. A safe place. But not today. Today, someone has released a couple hundred tiny praying-mantis-like robots into the city, and the place is in chaos. Shops are closed up early because though these little destructive creatures don't have bullets, they do have some weird arm appendages that like to just crunch everything in existence. Like a locus swarm of cockatoos, anything made of wood or plastic is being crunched up and left for scrap. But at less than six inches high apiece, rounding them up is proving extremely difficult. Luckily, the mayor in her wisdom is giving out titanium nets to any imPort who wants to help round up the trouble makers. And, in the spirit of the city, she's offering the imPort that catches the most robots a free meal for two in the swanky Radiation Galley - Jeopardy's top tier, five star restaurant.

Get catchin', imPorts!

Cloud and the Turks are remake canon, Sephiroth and Zack are pre-Nibelheim Crisis Core, and Rufus is from post-AC.

WHO WAS THAT MASKED MAN

Today in De Chima, there's the unveiling of a brand new invention in the convention centre park! With a simple scan, it will print out your Closest Love Match of the other individuals present, along with your percentage of compatibility and a free coupon to get lunch with your new date if you match 90% or higher!

A little odd that it seems that nearly every couple has 90% or higher, isn't it? What's the probability that the scanner is broken?
