BACK! With plotting and a super serious question:
Since Minami and Arturia are going to be back in the Tower tonight: I have two things I want to cover.
Firstly, should I attempt a Night Watch log this month considering the event? Or would everyone prefer it if this month is skipped or do the next one in the beginning of July?
Secondly, with Minami, she's going to be out of it with people's powers going out of control, she's going to be trying to suppress her piece of the Shadow of Death. This means her non-Death arcana personas (Orpheus, Titania, Jack Frost, Kikuri-Hime, and Nata Taishi) are likely to go haywire, wander the Tower, and wreak havoc. I'm debating how to pull this off since the wreaking havoc won't be for a while, but I want to give it a go. Any ideas on this front? Should it be lulzy, them attacking people, or some combination of it?
Thirdly, Arturia basically exists due to needing magic (called prana in canon) to feed on from a Master and I've been handwaving her presence in the Tower as Lol!Tower Physics this whole time and reality being effed up to how she could exist on her world during my hiatus. In canon, she'd only have two hours before she dies/disappears, but with how the Tower is barely functioning I'm going to assume she'll have a few days to a week before this happens just for the sake of her being playable. The plotting I would like to do with her is twofold:
1). I would like her get into a fight with a villain or to rescue someone from the monsters and deplete her energy so she will die sooner than expected, if not wind up killed due to how weak she is from burning through her prana.
2). This event will make her realize she needs a Master in the Tower if she wishes to protect people here and go seeking one out. For that, well, any volunteers? Preferably with high magic in them? There's a specific ritual in canon that needs, but we can handwave something else working due to the circumstances being very different. The gist of it is that whoever is her Master will be using their magic to power Arturia so she can be at Dragonball levels of power. Her Master will be imbued with three Command Seals in the form of a crest on their hand.
The Command Seals are an absolute order that Arturia will be forced to follow and, in some cases, reality can be broken so she can carry out the order. Example: she can't teleport in canon, but orders using the Command Spell of "get here right NOW!" result in her being teleported to the desired location. For the most part the more general an order, the weaker it is, but the more specific the more likely it is for it to be carried out to a T. An example of a general order not working right: an order of "listen to everything I say" leaves the Servant with free will, but they're not at top notch if they go against an order. Finally, once the Command Seals are used up she's basically free to do whatever she wants as long as she's followed the orders already on her.
Fourth and finally: expect posts and epic backtagging once I get back from work this evening.

If you do end up needing someone with high magic to be her Master, I can volunteer Willow! She's very much against, um, controlling people though, so she probably wouldn't use any of the Command Seals if she could help it.
If you find a better candidate, though, go for it. I just thought I'd offer, cause hey, you said the M word. :>

For example, Jack Frost and Orpheus throw a party, where Jack Frost tells jokes and Orpheus plays back-up music, while Titania goes on a rampage...
IDK. I'm just saying things as they come to my head.

... also random icon gives you the most fitting icon or something. idk. He's not roaring and eating Magician there. No, he's singing along with Orpheus.
no subject
WE NEED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. SOMEHOW. EVEN IF ONLY IN A MEME!!!!
no subject
BUT YESSS! PERSONAS AND SHADOWS ARE TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN, SO CLEARLY THEY CAN JUST BE BROS. AND SING A DUET FOR EVERYONE~
and now random icon gives you my little pony ryoji... why random icon why

if you really want to spin the world on its head
vote Xehanort for your new Master 2012. He's his canon's most powerful sorceror, so expect some major juice if nothing else...
let's just not talk about his other hobbies.
Also he is the nicest old man you'll ever meet!

How do we make this work?! Because Arturia is a waaaay better judge of character than Terra is. mo_om

If you're around on AIM or plurk feel free to hit me up and we can see if we can figure something out :o
no subject
And now there's Hellhounds loose! It's like the mods are trying to hand me stuff to facilitate my plotting or something!
no subject
The mods are if anything, enabling...
no subject
So. She's supposed to die in Minato's BURN MY BREAD log. I would like to tag Xehanort's last post so they will have an idea who one another are. Then we can contrive a situation where she'll be desperate for a Master because someone is in danger and become his Servant and all it entails. Savvy?
