oh that was thoughtful of you, Vil. However I've decided to scrap the "ghost story" between the current and next mainstream story this time. It seems that not enough players are familiar with "Carrie" and it would not a good idea to try to do a story based on a movie/concept most players arent familiar with. (im surprised, Carrie is such a classic movie i figured it would be more well known here but eh...no big deal)

There may be a chance for me to introduce certain aspects of the film into a later story but for now we'll just finish this one and prepare for the next one. Just wanted to let you all know.
 
I appreciate you being able to reconsider your decision about doing the Carrie redux. I was already starting to feel the pressure to live up to your EXACTING standards on how to play my character in it! :p

For real though, the movie/book DOES have elements that play well in a drama-based metahuman RPG like ours. I am actually surprised that you have not had more religious undertones/pushback in our arcs.
 
well i may have presented it the wrong way- i was naming the characters in the film as examples of how i wanted the characters in the game to behave. the only person i was going to give some specific details to was vil for delilah, as she would be playing one of the pivotal roles.

im a BIG stephen king fan thanks to my grandmother. his books and most of the movie adaptations.

but i could see based on initial reactions that players hadnt seen or didnt remember the film well enough to be able to play without a higher level of direction from me and i didnt want to have to go that route. that takes the fun and creativity out.

we'll see what the future brings. we have enough material ahead of us now :)
 
It's so interesting to see Sissy Spacek in that role, viewing it next to say Coal Miner's Daughter or some of her other work, it's so different lol

As for the current storyline - are you wanting to jump right ahead to the party or do you want the Six to have more interaction/getting settled back in New York/etc. type stuff?
 
well i assumed you wanted time to get things started with bishop and delilah and yeah there needs to be a little interaction time for the others at the parthenon too. I just posted actually so go ahead and do what you wanted to do with delilah and bishop cause i know you wanted them to go ahead of the others :)

even if you want them somewhere else in the parthenon away from the others, you can just say something like "Alison prearranged for them to have rooms on another floor" or whatever.
 
about Sissy Spacek and Carrie...I agree, its such a sharp contrast to her work in Coal Miner's Daughter (which i love) or many of her other good films. If you like her as an actress, I highly recommend "The Grass Harp" which reunites her and Piper Laurie (Margaret White in "Carrie") and also stars Nell Carter and also "In the bedroom"...both of those are AMAZING films. in "The Grass Harp" she and Piper Laurie do a "role reversal" of sorts w/ their characters. Once again they are very close ...in this film they are sisters rather than mother/daughter but Sissy's character is the domineering bitch while Piper's character is the more meek and mild. and "In the bedroom" is awesome...if you've ever seen "Ordinary People" w/ Mary Tyler Moore (riveting) it's kind of like that. Sissy's character is hell bent on revenge following the loss of her child.

and with the current story in the six - remember its your story, i'm just helping it to move along :)
 
I just got home from work and have to get up in about 7 hours lol - I hope it's okay with everyone if I post tomorrow. If you all need to move on, just say Delilah leaves seperately from the others.

:)
 
Lexi, i think Garrick's post w/ Nicolas when he spoke on Delilah was actually a "thought" rather than spoken ALOUD lol! you'll want to edit
 
oh, didn't you guys hear? Haleigh can read minds now. Diana made her telepathic during the return to life just to mix things up.



JUUUUSTTTTTT kidding! :D But anyways I edited lol
 
Just to let everyone know, I have finals this week so if i'm not as active in the six or on the board that's why. Once Thursday rolls around i'll be officially done with this semester, so i'll have more free time.

But that's the main reason i've been slacking this past week and last week. :)
 
i was kind of waiting to see what vil was going to post w/ bishop or delilah next before moving us a bit further. ill just do a small post with oracle.
 
I've four more days on this movie and I have no idea how they are going to go. Worst. Shoot. Ever. We're outside all this week so maybe we'll get lucky and have short days. But I doubt it.

Anyhoo, I'm going to try and post a lot today just in case, so y'all may just need to sort of backtrack and catch up. But that's why I'm going to be moving so fast, it's not because I don't want to let y'all post.
