THE PLOT COMPELS YOU.

PLEASE READ THIS!



NYC PLOT


DAY ONE (November 2nd)

Characters will wake up in their apartments/houses/cardboard boxes/etc. All powers and special abilities will be gone. They will still have their journals, along with a piece of paper that's attached to it. This piece of paper will detail where their apartment is, what their job is, how to get back and forth, etc. As the 2nd is A SUNDAY, many characters will not have to work and can spend the day exploring. They will also be provided with a little bit of food in their apartments since they haven't gotten a paycheck to buy food yet.

DAY TWO (November 3rd)

Off to work/school you go, everyone! Everyone will be expected to go to their respective jobs and work. (For the sake of the plot, everyone will receive a daily paycheck!) For anyone who gets off early or is unemployed, there will be a fashion show gone wrong today. All the models ran away, so if your character is attractive, feel free to have them plucked off the street and forced into pretty clothes and onto the runway.

DAY THREE (November 4th)

Hope you haven't gotten fired/expelled yet! Today is another work/school day. It's also Election Day! Based on what the real life results are, the plot will go along with whatever actually happens with the election. Feel free to have your character .... mostly not care. LMFAO. There will most likely be rallying/celebrating/etc. going on, though, so make note of that!

DAY FOUR (November 5th)

Work/school as usual! I bet you're getting pretty tired of that. Today there will also be a gay pride parade (since Paradisa's flag is a rainbow with beer, hopefully some of your characters will be there .. LMAO) and a gigantic picnic in Central Park.

DAY FIVE (November 6th)

It's been pretty regular fall weather in NYC so far, but today it's going to be extra, extra cold. Everything is going to ice over and nobody will be able to really go anywhere. ): Journals, phones, and TVs will still work, though!

DAY SIX (November 7th)

Today it's going to gradually get warmer and warmer throughout the day, until it's UNBEARABLY hot. The temperature will keep increasing through the night, which should be the cause of a lot of "WTF"ing. Citizens will be encouraged to evacuate.

DAY SEVEN (November 8th)

The first half of today is going to suck! Since everything has melted from the heat, everything is going to start getting flooded. Then, a gigantic tidal wave will appear out of nowhere and wreck the city. But while the city is wrecked, right before they can get hurt, your character will suddenly feel a bit disembodied and - BAM! They'll be back in Paradisa. But there'll be one tiny change ... there'll be weather. :D

FAQ
Will there be internets!?
YES there will be internets. However, anything relevant to your character's canon will basically be wiped out, so they won't be able to find anything about themselves or their series. Characters won't be able to search for their friends, either.

What do I do if my character is retarded and can't figure out how to get to work?
You can have them get lost because it's funny and write in the journal to ask someone to come save them. Or, if you don't want that to happen, you can have them automatically have a maid or assistant of some sort who takes them to work.

What do I do if my character is retarded and can't figure out how to use technology?
Ask in the journal! There are plenty of modern, hip citizens who can give your character a hand.

I don't think my character's job pays realistically enough to get a good apartment, or they're a student and wouldn't be able to afford it. But I don't want them to live in a gross apartment, either. What do I do?
You could have a mysterious benefactor be paying for them to have a good apartment, if you want! Or, of course, you could get together a couple people and share an apartment. In any case, though it's still New York City, it's Paradisa's version of New York City, which means things that are unexplainable and weird are still going to happen.

Can my character travel out of NYC?
They can go to the areas immediately surrounding it, but once they go too far away they will end up back at their apartment. LOL.

I don't like any of the events that have been listed for characters to do. What do I do?
Well, there's a million different things going on in such a huge city every day. If you don't want to do the events that we've put together, feel free to look up events going on now in the city, or make something up yourself! BE CREATIVE, PLEASE!


Questions? Comments? Concerns? LET ME KNOW. :D If I've forgotten anything please give me a good slap.

Tony can be a mysterious benefactor for anybody in the PP who needs a nice apartment.

And Wolfwood, don't forget Wolfwood.

[identity profile] fired-once.livejournal.com 2008-11-01 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, Wolfwood probably has his own bed at Tony's place. Since they probably drink there every night until they pass out.

Niiiice disclaimer there. Lulz.

So Saxon vs Petrelli for the presidency?? DO IT.

[identity profile] iheardrums.livejournal.com 2008-11-01 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
They could have a last-minute debate or something! Though the Master would be all "Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!" (Not that I watch too much Simpsons or anything.)
not_myfirstday: (Default)

[personal profile] not_myfirstday 2008-11-02 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
See I don't watch the Simpsons anymore. 20 seasons is a bit much for me. Bart is the same age. All the time.

BUT yes!! To whatever would be funny!!! Nathan has Tony Stark Support.

Supposedly, Azula and Zuko's penthouse is paid for by their father, who is on a business trip for a week. The note left for them by Paradisa -- could this be like, a voice mail message left in Ozai's voice, like "I've gone on a business trip, be good, I expect you to attend your classes" etc?



Also: it starts tonight (as in 12:01/midnight on Sunday, Nov. 2)? Just to make sure I'm reading this right?

I'm so happy... I git my plot *_*

... Please don't rape me.
superheroine: (SPAZ)

[personal profile] superheroine 2008-11-01 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course not.

Ilu.

There should be a voice mail left on the answering machine from Ozai going "By the way, Zuko, Miss Kitty's called, offering you employment. When do you intend to find respectable employment, not just some shameful part-time job at a pet shop?"

And Zuko will die.

And Azula will listen to it ad nauseam, all "it's father's voice".

[identity profile] soysauce.livejournal.com 2008-11-01 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
ILU2


Zuko will be like "...No.....NO...NO" ALKDJAD but he'll work on getting Azula's love. He'll work hard to get a promotion to get more money to earn Azula's respect. And he'll buy her.. roast beef and mash potatoes instead of KD ;D

[identity profile] iknowhowtogetit.livejournal.com 2008-11-02 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
:D <333

Ha! They both wouldn't know what the hell the parade would be for, so Delysia is like, "let's go ride the pretty float! it has roses and ribbons, and oh! a rainbow~ they are such cheerful wonders of nature! ♥" and Jun would be like, "asdfghjkl; whatever" and she'd be forced atop it, creating the DELECTABLE SAPPHIC SUBTEXT? ;) y.

[identity profile] makethingsright.livejournal.com 2008-11-01 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
HAAA dude. We should just have our own Election. VOTE NATHAN PETRELLI in 08!!!

[identity profile] makethingsright.livejournal.com 2008-11-01 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
and PS - no powers/abilities does that mean Ruby is human now? Or is she still a demon she just can't do demon-y things.

[identity profile] iheardrums.livejournal.com 2008-11-01 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahem. Please see previous comment. XD

[identity profile] silentrefrain.livejournal.com 2008-11-01 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Is Nill allowed to keep her wings?

[identity profile] silentrefrain.livejournal.com 2008-11-01 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Strike one more method of communication. ):

OH WELL. SHE WILL LIVE. And be oddly off-balance all week. 8Db

[identity profile] silentrefrain.livejournal.com 2008-11-01 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
SHE'LL BE HANDED COSPLAY WINGS DURING MODELING SHOOTS AS A REPLACEMENT. :|b

I... Am not sure! D: She wouldn't complain about staying by herself (...not that she could...) but would totally love a buddy to stay with. ;;

[identity profile] stick.livejournal.com 2008-11-01 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Put these on! 8Db"
" ._. "

I think she's sort of friend-hopping this week. XD BUT SHE CAN DEFINITELY STAY WITH INO FOR A DAY OR SO, and will obsessively clean her house/apartment/cardboard box while she's there. 8Db

[identity profile] not-from-mars.livejournal.com 2008-11-02 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
I'M GUESSING... all Time Lords, etc. will be human for this?

[identity profile] not-from-mars.livejournal.com 2008-11-02 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Hahaha. Ten is setting a record, I swear. This'd be Ten Does Humanity: Take Eleven. (I've counted.)

[identity profile] broken-clock.livejournal.com 2008-11-02 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Poor Ten. :( Five isn't very far behind, though. THEY CAN HAS BITCHING SESSION Y/Y
