DragonBallITP OOC VI: The Asylum for Omnipotent Nutcases

[Emperor Ing]

Ing sama? just want to wanted something to do with Snap, that all

Apologies for not responding, but sometimes i'm not sure how to respond. I don't believe Snap would have been able to teleport onto the ship.

[Lord Raziere]

So, Ing, where are we going with this? because it doesn't seem like anything is happening? should I be trying to actively infiltrate the Veru'nas ship rather than wait for their challenge?

[Rater202]

Personally, I'm waiting for either a response to my last post or directions leading me to a response I may have missed.

Or, alternatively, just a time skip to when whoever's willing to go into the Chamber with Oxy is on Earth with him.

Okay.

none of the Unkillables are doing anything.....so take your pick of which one you want to go in with you. (I guess the shows rules are that only two should be in there for some reason, but I don't know why they don't just go in in groups aside from needing some people to hold off the big baddie for a while, you probably know better than me why that is, whether you want to ignore the two rule and which Unkillable(s) you'd want.)

[Rater202]

The rule of two is becuase the Chamber can onyl make enough food to sustain two people(and there's only two beds.)

Poka can conjure infinte food, bypassing this limitation.

Maxwell and Freis both offered to enter the chamber as well, and I'm not sure making the unkillable is stronger is wise atthis point in time.

[igordragonian]

I guess, that if allowed, Vodkana will join.
Oocly, I have nothing in mind beside that.

[Sagetim]

Hey, sorry for not posting recently. I've been busy, and then sick.

Max, Fries, Yankar and I can't remember his name (Asalute?) went into the time chamber to prep for the Hailing fight, didn't they? In any case, the Arcosian empire left some extra equipment in there as far as I know, so it's safe to assume there's more than just two beds in there, and Max has conjured a food supply before.

So time skipping to entering the time chamber for Max, Oxy, and whoever else is going in with them makes sense to me. Also, Max would probably try to get both Poka and Masala in there, so that between him and Poka they could help Masala work through her inner turmoil in a safe-for-others location.

[Rater202]

I'm pretty sure that the Time Chamber goes after the meeting with Koroma.

I mean, Oxy said as much before the time skip--Korumo before chamber because he knows that once he comes out he won't get a chance to go back in.

I also assumed it would go after in my IC post--an Oxy that's strong enough to defeat PCJ* is an Oxy who isn't going to bother with negotiations and is just gonna try and kill Kurumo and Solitus.

*which would logically take more than less than a year of training considering the vast gulf between them and how long it took Oxy to get this strong.

[Sagetim]

Alright, then I'll edit my post to reflect that.

[igordragonian]

Do you preffer Snap get caught so we could time skip?
Also.. who is coming to Kuromo's meeting?

[igordragonian]

Mmmm two things. After readkng again abour chakra colors, are you ok with retconing Vodkana's aura to be orange?


And Raziere- Dishanna told to Kuromo, that she fear that her guilt toward Vodkana will break her enlightment.
So she want to be a damsel in distress ajd avoud Vodkana's accusations.

So saying she voulntered.. kind of go against it. Which is fine, I guess. Just want to make sure this was IC decision, rather forgetting conversatiin among side characters long time irl ago

[Lord Raziere]

well Kurumo doesn't really care about individual people's feelings and all he knows is that Dishana came back for some reason, but I did in fact forget that, so.....watsonian and doylist explanations both make sense here.

and sure, orange aura, its purely cosmetic, so go with it if you want to. I don't think its outside possibility for peoples auras to just naturally change over time.

[igordragonian]

Ok. Things will escalte faster then I have planned for Vodkana and Dishanna...
Mmmm...


Oh.
I have foreshadowed it before (it's actually part of the Trombone Mythos)
But I wanted to get an Ok for the idea of Divine Censors. (Yes. Exalted inspired)
Which control what can and can't be known in the universe.
(And Apfel has killed one of them)

[igordragonian]

Ing- To cancel the whole Snap's heist thing? If you unintrested tell me, and I'll wrap it.

Raziere-
I know that you are probably overwhelmed (and I did enjoyed Solitus's story)
But.. Vodkana and Tarasai?
Unless you want them to join the scene with Kuromo to make things less overwhelming.

[Lord Raziere]

Yeah those were a bit long, probably going to get around to Vodkana and Tarasai next post. The whole post as a bit of a focus to demonstrate the contrast between Solitus and Kurumo- Kurumo at the end of the day is someone with actual pain and suffering behind him who is truly willing to die for his cause and Solitus at the end of the day is someone who has never experienced tragedy at all and is completely out for his own ego. The thing with Solituses story was to nail it being completely understandable that he was once a hero, completely understandable that he'd end up this way- without making him sympathetic in the slightest.

one could say that Oxyribo's victory over him would ruin it with a failure, but apart of Solitus's mindset is how he defines failure and success. while a perfectionist, he never defines anything he does as a failure. While undeniably egomaniacal, he truly does have a drive to succeed, positive attitude and some form of work ethic to make it happen- its just he is a leader now, you'll probably never see him working on a skill and even if you did, he has so much natural talent that it'd be like one of those short training montages except the montage doesn't happen but he masters it so fast a montage might as well have happened for all the time it took. sure he'd be a master of this or that but he wouldn't really grow or be challenged from the experience.

mostly because Solitus is every showy invincible hero and mary sue trope combined into one shiny golden villain and put into a world with actual people. His omni-mastery trait is probably just some mythical power he has because of his own unique legend supplemented with ancient memory techniques rather than anything that can be explained biologically.

[igordragonian]

Fair enough.
I'll reply with Dishanna for now, then.

[igordragonian]

Well, we probably have looooot of time before we get to Trombone, but after reading the manga, I must say, that if you will find similiraties between the villian of the current arc and Trombone- I devolped his theme of abilities the moment I made up the Cross Clan. Just sayyyying.

I haven't read the manga and don't ever plan on doing so, so I don't care.

I do think I have some idea on what direction I want Masala to go now: she is a regenerator like bio-androids so she has the same tactical advantage in not having to worry about defense so she can focus on offensive power. so I'm imagining Masala charging in with a storm of cosplay weapons wielded in multiple arms in a furious storm of attacks with regard or care for her safety because she doesn't need to.

[igordragonian]

Well, it will be intresting to see againt Buu. (Which I am planning on using, and I think you wanted to see Masala Vs Buu)
Also, I'll work on recap on the Assasian Guild Arc of Apfel, since we probably will never actually roleplay it, and there are some ideas that might he relevant to the large scheme of things.


Btw.. is Hawk still with us?

[Lord Raziere]

Btw.. is Hawk still with us?

I messaged them recently and it seems they want to be here but real life stuff isn't giving them the time. so. nothing we can do about it.

[igordragonian]

(Nothing move for a long while then I check*
Omg...
Battle against Solitus already?
What about Beryl?
Am I too latem
Dammit. Ksu. Ksu. Ksu.


Sigh.

I wouldn't say its a Final Battle.

Its more one of those "Mid Story" Battles where something big is on the line, but you don't know what the outcome of it is. whats at stake is the new Dragon Balls Lagerin is making. how this battle results might determine how the Final battle goes though!

[igordragonian]

Maybe I care about too much characters, but

I think from this page, it seems Blizzan and Tsarbone left together.
Maybe Blizzan killed him somehow, or something, just want to close the story thread.

Nah, he wouldn't kill him for that. He is too busy reading. if they left together, they left together. Tsarbone can do whatever, Blizzan is just going to read until he reaches narrative demon enlightenment

[Rater202]

So Oxy's just gonna keep charging for the time being so don't let me hold you up.

oh okay, open invitation to make the situation more complex and full of variables until you fire, got it.

[Emperor Ing]

I failed to mention that Apfel asked Kurumo to look into the Arclight's fate to set something up, so i'll have to ret-con something you posted, Raz. My resistance to conveying that previously was because I didn't want to make any reveals until Kurumo had already complied with Apfel's request.

[Lord Raziere]

Okay. I'll accept that, you have your reasons.

[Emperor Ing]

Also, an idea for punishing Solitus? Lock him within his own mind. Some kind of divine lotus-eater machine that lets him live his delusion of a perfect universe (or at least BUILDING a perfect universe.) Something he will eventually succeed at, and he will eventually realize himself being all that exists is boring as hell. Alternatively he's so deluded, he'll actually love it. Either way, he's out of the Universe's hair.

Hm. No.

already did something like that with Perfect Cell Junior, and I don't like repeating things. I have something...else in mind. for you see, in my mind, the only real difference between someone like Cell Junior and Solitus, is that Cell Junior is an evil egomaniac who realized he never wanted to be all that exists- he just wants to be the center of attention, he is an egomaniac who for once, knows what egomaniacs want. If Solitus gets punished that way, he becomes either a Second Perfect Senior just in this timeline, or a Second Perfect Cell Junior in a different body.

No, my idea for his punishment is something far more simple and terrifying. its an answer to a simple question: What is an egomaniac's hell?
