Yeah, live. They all have a little office to themselves as a bedroom maybe, or make a room by blocking off a corner of the place with boxes. _________________ "Which part of 'get out of my way' do you guys fail to comprehend?" -Rekki.
So they're watching TV, it says something about... the aliens? Am I the only one who's really against them fighting the lawfuls just yet?
How about this. We start off in the warehouse, everyone's watching the telly, there's some report about the aliens. Our characters talk about it for a bit.
We should have all vigilante character designed with the coming of Jinn. ^^;
Sooo. We have that. Let's get them talking before there;s suddenly a special report of another invasion, and they go all "Ninja Turtles" (XD) and run off to go see to the trouble.
Cut to the Lawfuls and do something similiar with them.
I think whenever we draw the Vig's warehouse, it should be colourful and perty and bright, but the Laws should be sort of gray and boring and blank.
Maybe they're reporting in and have a brief chat with one another before they're suddenly deployed to take care of the alien enemy.
Then we end up having both the Laws and the Vigs fighting in the first fight scene. But we also get to introduce the characters so the reader can be like "oh *nodnod* I get it."
If that's okay with everyone, let's sort out the vig dialogue at the beginning since only you as the characters creator would have a good idea of what they'd say.
IF it's okay. *nod*

Well if that's how it's going, I can, quite literally, be on at any time of day :0 Except 3AM to 3:30 PM eastern time on normal school days *shakes fist* Without prior notice of cancellation, that is >.> SO! Any time anyone decides on some time that this will eventually happen, let me know so I can stay up that late =3 _________________ <3 Charil

I stand by all the misstatements I have made.
Hmmm, so the story starts off in the warehouse, with the TV explaining the situation to the reader. How the aliens have been attacking for about five years, but there's been no escalation to the conflict, nor has it decreased. And how several towns now have their own vigilante alien hunting teams. One of the Vigilantes says something like 'yeah, that's us!' when it's mentioned on TV that vigilantes are dangerous criminals.
Switch to the lawfuls, where the guys are given marching orders, possibly Katy is the one who relays orders and does communications and stuff (I dunno, her uniform just has that kind of look to it).
Back to the vigilantes, the same alien attack that the lawfuls were just given orders on, is reported on TV, and the Vigilantes all jump up. _________________ "Which part of 'get out of my way' do you guys fail to comprehend?" -Rekki.
I submit that we do not rp the script.
I've rped scripts before and it just ends up being a trainwreck. Every. Damn. Time. They generally end up disjointed and surreal, but nto in the good way. It becomes POINTLESS DIALOGUE What ho! pip pip, tra la! POINTLESS DIALOGUE What ho! pip pip, tra la! and I am all for sassy banter, but too much sassy banter is like too many tribbles. You can barely wade through them to make your way to the bathroom.
Plus, I'd like to see what kind of dialogue we would come up with for other people's characters.
I think we should just discuss it all and all input things in a thread so we can sculpt and streamline every single thing together.
Especially if you're bringing in the point of useless dialogue. Because when Charil narrates, she rambles like a politician. Saying a million different things in cryptic order, but never actually saying anything substantial.
The idea of pre-set dialogue sounded a bit appealing, but Donut brings up some good points. _________________ <3 Charil

NO ONE ASIDE FROM CHARIL HAS SAID A THING. I TAKE THIS AS A SIGN THAT YOU ARE ALL SHOCKED AND AWED BY MY BRILLIANCE.
(not)
OKAY CREW- HERE IS HOW I AM SEEING IT-
TEH HYPER NOVA
A COMIX OF AWESOME
BY AWESOMES
(establishing shot of warehouse GRATUITOUSLY COPYING AND PASTING MY CONCEPTART BECAUSE RELALY WHO WANTS TO DRAW THAT AGAIN)
perhaps over this goes the start of the newscast- in the lower right hand corner, I am thinking, so one's eyes flow over the establishing shot and land on the writing)
"Blah blah newscast words that are not about monsters and thus are unintersing to Donut. "
now it's our vigilantes watching teevee. Whoever's drawing can throw in whatever cute personal touches they want. Or we can discuss thems later. This is just a skeleton.
"newscast words blah. ALIENS R BAD What ho! pip pip, tra la! GUBMINT IS AWESOME BUY FRUITY OATY BARS OH, ALSO, VIGILANTES ARE BAD, TRUST ONLY IN BIG BROTHER."
Our heroes snicker and snack and snicker some more! Perhaps a voice of reason is, in fact, reasonable about the bad press.
--
MEENWHILE, in some sort of awesomely huge gubmint skyscraper or military complex or something, the military folk are suitin' up for militaritude. We need military folk, guys! must work on that. Or sometihething. Militay= a pretty recent development in our scribblings, innit?
--
Simultaneously, our heroes have also heard of the alien attack, presumably through teevee. They PREPARE FOR BATTEL!
-------------------------
Okay, so this is just a rehash of everything we've already established. What I want you guys to do now is RIP THIS THE HELL APART. Suggest things we may add in that you feel might be necessecary (can't spell that word!), suggest things are pointless. Suggest nifty dialogue, teeny little actions, minute details in the background, ANYTHING!
Here's my problem. Jinn is a very hard character to peg his personality unless you see him in action...
... Tell you what, I'll volunteer for the first sequence with the vigilantes. Because I'm going to be very anal on how Jinn is introduced and when it comes to my characters, I go uber-bitch. So to avoid any uber-bitch situations, I'll just bite the bullet and go first.
Sound good?
if I need help with someone's character's personality, I'll ask.
