[OOC] STOMP Remembrance Project
- Thread starter CoffeeHorse
- Start date
As a story, I still find the dysfunction interesting. We were all hiding various insecurities, and a lot of them were directly about trying to understand ourselves as heroes. Even Rhapsody, outwardly the most gung-ho about doing our job, to the point that she puts on a costume so she can work night shifts as well, was actually secretly terrified that someone was going to get hurt on her watch and there'd be something she could have done to prevent it.
I think the ballet battle was a good moment. We cared that innocents were in danger, so deep down we did have an inner hero who understood why we were doing this.

Heyyyy CoffeeHorse. I'm bad at everything and I haven't been watching this thread too closely but I was suddenly feeling nostalgic and I was wondering if maybe in your digging you may have encountered um Sunbeam's and my musical number maybe? = o
I haven't checked for that specifically, but I've seen surrounding scenes from that day so I probably have it. I'll take a look.
Awesome, thank you! 
Pretty sure that's two chapters ahead. Currently it's right before Nightmare Heights but after that I believe is the cucarocka attack and the Mauvenine Four. If so, that sounds about the right spot since Amber and Snowy aren't accounted for in the previous two mentioned scenes.
Wow, I actually had Static go through the whole "80's mentor makes someone clean and/or build something in order to shape up".
It is that day. The musical number is what Amber and Snowy are doing when they're interrupted with a mission to pick Night Cap up at the police station. Then we get the jailbreak.
I'm stopping for today. The gym scene is finally coming up, and it appears to be several hundreds of posts.

Night Cap is probably knocked out. I have to decide the appropriate type of fun for my response.

EDIT: Wait. Night Cap and Maplejack have re-roll options. Would either of you like to use them or will Night Cap simply fail?
Zamuel posted
Well...thankfully she wasn't actually trying to kill him. I've got typing to do.
Destron posted
can maple use her element power to give him a +15? or did I sleep in too much
Zamuel posted
Maple already used her magic point earlier to help Light Fantastic. It resets after an extended rest. Also, Generosity might be a +15 but the nat 1 is still there.
Rhapsody posted
I do believe Rhapsody have could helped, since she has a skill that allows her to turn an ally's epic fail into a critical success... but why would she waste that now?
Zamuel posted
Figured as much.
Destron posted
well it does say ally... so does it even work in this situation, since like 90% of the reason she let him come was to get him beat up a bit lol
Caldwin posted
Dang, Rhapsody's being a bit of a rump!
Sunbeam posted
So, business as usual?
Caldwin posted
Yeah, pretty much.
And yeah, I'm sure Night Cap will be fine. No worries. That crunching noise when his neck hit the floor and his head bent unnaturally far? Totally normal!
Rhapsody posted
Or Rhapsody knows that Sky Lynx's offers good medical care for those in these situations. This is a completely safe environment, for him to get his flank handed to him.
Sunbeam posted
You are glorying in the downfall of your enemy. Last time I saw someone do that, they refused to throw the One Ring into a volcano, dooming mankind to teeter on the precipice of destruction once more.
Fnu Aw posted
What could Rhapsody do, anyway? Swoop in and catch him when it's clear he's not going to land well? Then how would he learn?
Patchouli Knowledge posted
Is he going to remember any of it when he wakes up?
Caldwin posted
You see!?!? He defends her and still she laughs at his pain!
Zamuel posted
Night Cap suddenly hears Rhapsody shout in a musically inclined voice, "We believe in you, Night Cap!" filling him with the determination to succeed.

Yeeeah, Static told me to tell you your living condition are intolerable.
*shakes head gravely
Rhapsody posted
Honestly, the whole hotel needs to be killed with fire. And then burn the ashes just to make sure.
Caldwin posted
Skivey called. He said he was feeling honor bound to call the health inspectors on you.
Caldwin posted
That's just the spiders crawling around your insides.

If that was the joke...I'm horrified!
Caldwin posted
No...not just now. It's just that the horror keeps deepening!

How would you summarize this crazy day we just had?
Zamuel posted
During lunch, Amber trained with Steel Flint by playing ping pong. Conversation happened.
Seeing the disheveled Brisk Iron stare down Major Delight in front of the early arrivals/new hires.
The actual mission briefing itself.
Marketing department is goofy and/or terrifying.
Caldwin posted
Hmm...well...slice of life episode?
I mean, if we wanted the characters to actually interact with each other more rather than just going up against bad guys, this day did that!
Night Cap, Snowy and Static all have nightmares. Night Cap gets a job. Amber gets a puzzle. Static goes on a date with Anchors, Snowy goes on a date with Light Fantastic. Meaningful discussions all around. If you wanted a place to really show who your character is, this was the day to do it!
Rhapsody posted
You forgot Light's stakeout of Dazzling's henchponies.
Zamuel posted
You have G3 on the brain?

I haven’t been checking in on this at all. Which is a pity because looking back on STOMP is and will be fun.
Have you found any Scarlet bits?

Lmao my friend.
Hehe. Him and Static.
Hehe. Him and Static.
The IC thread is in order, so it will be a while before we get to Scarlet. But Scarlet's introduction is in this OOC thread.
While part of me feels like I botched things with Misty's story, this breakfast was the actual start of "something's wrong with the world". I had a started quietly seeding the magical weirdness really early on. And as Fnu (?) already noticed earlier, the early Tipsy Tulip hints were here but she didn't show up for a long time. Blame Barometz.
I'll always wonder what would have happened if we'd gotten the Barometz scene right. There were so many ripple effects.
I began drawing Rhapsody's part of this morning, before deciding to bump the whole scene sometime closer to when the plot seeds would be followed upon.
