Ow!

[The feed comes on to Vriska sucking in a breath and shaking out her hand. Ever since the little mutation power incident wore off, she's been getting little shocks every now and then. When she turns on a light, or accidentally brushes against someone. Seems like turning on the Pokegear is no different.]

Stupid after effects... [The black markings on her face are still visible too.]

So I've been bored out of my fucking skull lately, stuck in Goldenrod again. I guess it's given me some time to think though.

And I've been thinking, that training your Pokebeasts and battling the gyms is all well and good and great and all that grand stuff, but why not have a little fun of our own creation! I'm talking about FLARPing here.

But Vriska, what's FLARPing, you poor ignorant dumbfucks ask. Well, that's what I'm here to explain, so listen up!

FLARPing is a form of extreeeeeeeeme role playing. It's not just a simple exchange of words and text faking actions from the safety of your screen where no one can hurt you. It's real live action role playing, where the stakes are high and there's danger and treasure at every turn! You play in teams competing against other FLARPers for the prize!

It's gonna be a liiiiiiiitle different here than it was back home, considering certain elements aren't available to us here. But I'll figure it out. It can't be too hard since I'm a role playing genius!

So who's in? Think you have what it takes?

[She smirks then clicks the feed off. If you want to find her, she'll be wandering around Goldenrod most of the afternoon a couple of her Pokemon following her.]


[ooc: So Vriska wants to put together a FLARPing group, and anyone's welcome to join her. I was thinking it could be like a once a month thing, and she'll work out some adventure and prize, and then a log can go up?]

[Okay, so Sollux saw Vriska's little Pokégear post earlier. Let's have a FLARPing group, she says. It'll be fun, she says. Sollux's own Electric residue was still giving him trouble, and the flash of anger had completely bypassed the Ground-type he was holding and fried his Pokégear completely. That went over really well.]

[...And of course, coming home from the Goldenrod Department Store with a new Pokégear, who should he bump into but Vriska Goddamn Serket.]

FLARP? Are you fucking serious?

action

[8etterl8]

[Whoa, hello there Sollux. Sup. She smirks. It was a pretty genius idea.]

Of course I'm serious. This is a perfect setting for some good FLARP sessions!

action

[viiru2alert]

[It was a pretty bullshit idea was what it was!]

You think anyone's going to go within ten feet of you with a FLARPing manual?

action

[8etterl8]

[Hey now. Them's fightin' words.]

And why wouldn't they? Anyone worth anything would love to get in on this action.

Don't tell me you're still holding a grudge. [Eyeroll.]

action

[viiru2alert]

[Them's fact words, kthx.]

A grudge.

Yeah. sure. It's a grudge.

[Twitch.]

Because seriously injuring three of the four players in your last game is only grounds for a fucking grudge.

action

[8etterl8]

Hey, they attacked me first! Well, except for Tavros, but he fucking deserved that anyway.

Anyway that was all soooooooo long ago. Everyone's pretty much over it. I know I am. Besides I apologized and everything.

[Obviously that should make everything better. Geeze. Do you need an apology Sollux?]

Video

[roemance]

Mindfang.

[Go on call him Dualscar

You know where this conversation is heading.]

Video

[8etterl8]

Well, well, well, if it isn't the Orphaner, Dualscar.

[Arms crossed. Oh yeah, she's got this.]

Video

[roemance]

I don't evven knoww wwhy you're askin all these wwigglers to join you. None of them wwould provvide a challenge.

Video

[8etterl8]

Maaaaaaaaybe, maybe not. Who knows. Either way, I have to have people to participate or it's not any fun.

Video

[roemance]

You ought to think yourself lucky that I ain't officially agreed to joinin' your campaign or anythin', since wwe both knoww that any sane person wwould wwanna side wwith the Orphaner over the Marquise anyday.

Video

[8etterl8]

Oh please, get real loser. Who's wouldn't want to team up with the magnificent and beautiful Spinneret Mindfang of legend.

[ghostytrainer]

so now it's going to be pokemon troll dungeon and dragons?
or would it just be pokemon dungeons and dragons?
man, and you call me a nerd. :P

text;

[8etterl8]

You are a nerd, no dou8ts a8out that.
Just listen to what you just said.
This is nothing like your human Dungeons and Dragons where you pretend to fight 8attles.
This is actual extreme role playing here John. Extreeeeeeeeme!
It takes guts and 8ravery and skill to handle FLARP.

text;

[ghostytrainer]

for the record, i don't actually play dungeons and dragons.
so i'm not as nerdy as you!! ahahaha!
no but that aside, how are you going to do that here then?
the extreeeeeeeemness, i mean?

text;

[8etterl8]

Your loss!
Conquering real dungeons and slaying live dragons is waaaaaaaay more fun than most things! ::::)
I figure as tame as this place is, it's got it's extreme sides.
Pokémon will defin8ly factor into this, what 8etter catalyst!
It'll 8e a 8it different from how it was 8ack home.
We don't necessarily have the same resources at our disposal here, 8ut I know I can figure this out!
It'll 8e the most extreeeeeeeeme fun you've ever had! ::::D

text;

[ghostytrainer]

i have no doubts about that.
keep me updated then.
i GUESS i can be the one to indulge your nerdy side for once.

(jk, by the way, this does actually sound fun.)

text;

[tentacletrainer]

I believe you can count me in.
I think it would be highly interesting if not, dare I say, fun.

text;

[8etterl8]

Gr8!
It will 8e toooooooons of fun!
Once we get everyone accounted for we'll have to sort out teams.

text;

[tentacletrainer]

I look forward to it.
Might I ask exactly how the games were played back on Alternia?
Besides being extreeeeeeeeme, of course. That part rang through loud and clear.

text;

[8etterl8]

A8soooooooolutely!
8ack home we used to hatch little 8ats dealies that contained a preprogammed session d8a for each team.
They also respond to commands by the sessions clouder (which is me!), the person in charge of the other team mem8ers adventure.
8ack when it was me and Terezi (Team Scourge) against Tavros and Aradia (Team Charge) I clouded the sessions for Tavros and Aradia for Terezi.
Then we see who can cook up a 8etter adventure, and who can 8eat their clouder at their own game!
(Spoiler: I always 8eat Tavros)

[Well, Vriska, you might be a role playing genius, but Utau considers herself as the role playing genius. Really, considering how most of her life is live acting a devilish bitch who loves to win challenges... Yes, she saw your feed earlier. And you might have a fellow sufferer with the electric shocks from stuff every now and then, but it's not Utau's going to show her after effects to you. Except her pigtails are still kind of -- odd looking because her hair likes looking thundershocked... We can just ignore that detail. Maybe she likes keeping her hair messy. That's definitely the best way to get a modeling contract. ... orz.

So anyway, Utau decided to reply to it with a video later and she's kind of on her way to the Rocket HQ when she sees Vriska. Hmmm. Maybe talking instead of video... Fine.]

So what's the F for in FLARPing?

[Fail? Flail? Famous? Fatal? In her home world it's just LARPing, except kids with superpowers don't need to do it.]

[ action ]

[8etterl8]

[Oh hello there strange person she doesn't know. She grins mischievously giving her a once over before answering, with a smug look.]

Oh it could stand for all kinds of things, but we usually like to say 'Fatal'

[Can you handle that?]

[ action ]

[meikyuubutterfly]

[Fatal? Fatal is great! It means she can go all out with everything ever if/when this thing ever gets started. Want to make this a smug look competition? Because Utau can do that too.]

Well then, consider me as someone who's [very] interested in that challenge.

[Yes she can handle that. She can handle everything - only not really, but no one needs to know the truth.]
