Blue Sheild: PPD Themed RP Static Team recruiting, You'll love it

Just a quick reminder - Synapse part II tonight.

Nicely done tonight. I remember him being a lot tougher. Maybe we're just that good? Who knows?

What amazed me was how we took down Babbage with just, what... six people?

I'd love to continue doing the FP tasks forces, but we need 5 for Sister Psyche, 6 for Citadel and 7 for Manticore.

Mouse is away tonight, correct?

Taking the night off. See you guys next week.

***Urgent Bulletin from Police Comissioner Jordan***

Attention Blue Shield...

Reports have been coming in from all over the city about children being attacked while trick or treating by mystically transformed residents.

-- In Atlas Park on Friday a girl in a Hello Kitty costume was chased three blocks by a housewife who had been inexplicably turned into a werewolf. Fortunately, a quick-thinking bystander was able to save the girl when he rolled up the newspaper he was reading and bravely smacked the creature across the muzzle, causing it to flee towards City Hall where employees of MAGI were able to capture it and restore the housewife's normal form.

-- In Kings Row three teens were injured Saturday evening while "TPing" the D. Stevens residence when they were startled by what they described as, "A witch and some zombie-looking dude," who emerged from the house as the boys were climbing down from the tree in their front yard. Later investigations found nothing amiss at the house, but neighbor G. Kravits coorobrated the teens' story.

-- And just last night in Talos Island a group of parents and children were stopped just as they were about to walk off the end of the pier at Spanky's Boardwalk. The last thing any of them remembered was knocking on a door while trick-or-treating and being greated by what they thought was a man dressed as "one of those vampires from that movie."

Trick or Treating has been suspended for the rest of the city until the PPD and MAGI can get to the bottom of this; with the exception of Founders Falls. That is where Blue Shield comes in. We would like you three to investigate in Founders Falls on Tuesday, October 26th. For this assignment you will be undercover as "trick-or-treaters," so each of you will need some sort of costume. You may provide your own, or the PPD can provide something for you to wear.

You will need to canvass the neighborhoods, knocking on as many doors as you can. If you encounter any transformed residents, you will need to subdue them, and attach modified medical transport devices to them. The devices will teleport the afflicted individuals to MAGI headquarters for examination and treatment. If you find any evidence of, or receive any tips regarding what is causing this phenomenon you are at liberty to investigate at your own discretion.

***End Bulletin***


((I thought I'd throw out the suggestion of doing some T-or-Ting with our Blue Shield toons tomorrow night - thus an RP reason for it. I also thought it would be fun(ny) if each of us dressed up in a costume. I'm not talking about one of the temp power costumes, I mean make up a costume from the costume creator.

For example, Shannon could dress up as Sister Psyche, or Black Widow or something. Once we get some of the temp power costumes, we can switch to those to see if we can get the Tip for the Praetoria mission (from which I want the rare recipe reward).

What do you think? If you'd rather not, it's cool with me,. I thought it would be a nice change of pace from running mission after mission, but you guys might already be sick of trick-or-treating in game, so just let me know. Shannon will probably dress up in a costume regardless. ))

I'd be up for it. Now, what does an 8 foot tall troll dress up as for Halloween?

Shrek?

Sorry for the late notice guys, but one of the other engineers in my department took the week off and I got saddled with straightening out a huge mess of a job of his. I'll be at work until at least 7 tonight, and possibly until after 8.

And you cannot imagine how badly this makes me want to punch something.

No worries, Mags will punch plenty of stuff for you.

*Ka-chick* Undercover work is easy when you can make everyone think you're someone else.


glad I don't have to pretend to be a woman anymore,

You mean your assignment in Anchorage is finally over? Just in time too - I hear it gets cold there in the winter.

Running late tonight. Please start w/o me & I'll catch up.

So, I thought I'd put down Drew's idea in the thread since mouse wasn't around to join the discussion.

Essentially, it would be a Praetorian counterpart to Blue Shield that we could run, for example, once a month instead of the regular Blue Shield characters.

Prem had a couple thoughts on it as well. First being that we play praetorian versions of our characters. Second being that we play praetorian versions of each other's characters.

My thoughts: I like the idea. Partly because it wouldn't involve starting up a new team on a new night and partly because it would give us a nice change of pace once in awhile. Since Praetoria is only up to level 20, there wouldn't be any real pressure to expand on the characters necessarily after that. We could have some remain on Praetorian Earth, some go hero, some go villain, delete them for new alts, whatever, and could just let it end there from an RP standpoint with an occasional tie-in for MA based arcs.

So yeah, just thought I'd throw that out there.

So this would be like, the first (or last, or whatever) Tuesday of every month we play in Praetoria and every other week we play in Paragon? I could go for that.

As for playing Praetorian versions of our characters, or each others, I will have to think on that. I can see how it would be interesting to play the Preatorian versions of each other's characters, but at the same time, I wouldn't want to offend anyone by making them think, "[My character] would never act that way."

As such, and due to my protectiveness of Shannon, I'd lean towards playing her counterpart myself, but wouldn't care if you guys switched it up a bit.

Well, here is the idea I had when I thought up the proposal.

On the last Tuesday of the month, we each would play the Praetorian version of our characters.

I would be OK with playing another character, but, my preference would be to play the Praetorian version of Drew.

Gah, so many ideas for a Praetorian Mags, if there even is one. Maybe it's just a Praetorian Blue Shield. Not necessarily all of the same people involved.

If you guys are looking for a PPD SG,I'm creating my own,as seen here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...=232290&page=2

=D

Pweez?*_*

Well, if this idea goes ahead, I've got an idea for a character and a fairly decent name to boot.

Sorry, guys.
I will not be able to make it on tonight. The work demon has raised its head and is presently slamming me about the head and torso.
Have fun fighting crime and I hope to see most of you on Thurs.

Applying........

At least I was hopping on early.

Yay! A million and one respecs to do!

Did anyone read my SG message?
