Hey guys!

Some concerns have been brought to me re: the upcoming horror plot and the recent trend of stressful plots. I feel that right now would be the best time to address that, because while I have heard a lot of excitement about these plots, I know there are also some people who don't want to speak against them and "rain on any parades," so to speak.

As this plot is my baby, I really do not want to do it unless the time is really right, and I want people to actually in the mood for horror. I stress that I'm not canceling this plot at all, too, though it may be postponed.

So, before this plot happens, before there are any serious plot posts or whatever, I am polling to double-check.

[Poll #1708229]

Edit: I realize this doesn't take date into account –– we'll be leapfrogging a few months! But like I said: the plot is my baby, it will still happen. The entire thing is set up and ready, so it won't be difficult to find a new time for it.

Mmmmmmm... deep, introspective plots. My favorite.

That actually sounds really awesome. Maybe we could go smaller city next time, too? Like, we've hit the two largest cities in America, let's hit one somewhere that's... less than 1.5 million people? So there's still a lot of stuff to do but it's not like anyone is going to get lost in the swarm of SKYSCRAPERS! TOURIST TRAPS!! and people will be forced to be a little closer together.

Alternatively. Town of 2000 people in the Bible Belt. Though I think there would be a lot more screaming involved with that one.

OH, GOOD. I LIKE THIS ACCOUNT, TOO.

I kinda dig the sheer scale of the city, because of how much it offers -- zoos, parks, shopping, museums, excursions, street parties, parades, clubs, dining, drinking, etc. People still came together at school and drive-thrus and stuff, and we had a lot of random groups working in the same Taco Bell or similar, because everyone was still confined to this downtown sector. I think the failing of LA was that everyone was focused on their celebrity lives, a-la-Hollywood, while NYC was a lot more grounded.

If we can capture the intensity of NYC with the longer time-span of LA, I think we're golden. Make sure people stay in close-knit groups. All the teenagers at the same high school, all the kids at the same elementary school, more people in the same part-time jobs or full-time jobs, etc., and make sure mingling posts go up.

I typed something up here, but it was basically me just going, that sounds awesome, +1 to wanting all of that. So I just shortened it. 8|b

/makes mental note to stop trying to write long replies at three AM.

could you imagine if like

Bruce and Clark were parters in a law firm or something stupid like that. And we grabbed a few other people to be legal assistants and secretaries or something. It'd be ridiculous. "WHY ARE WE DOING THIS??" "I DON'T KNOW, IT'S OUR JOB FOR THE WEEK!"

Or something.

Good luck getting Damian in his school uniform.

... I want that so bad now, you have no idea. *A*

But if Damian doesn't go to school then he can't ask Bruce about why literary analysis is so important and Bruce can't bitch about how they're going about it is all wrong and this is why he likes to the Socratic method of teaching when he teaches people things.

aklsdjlkasdaskd that would be so fun

Damian went last time, but he devoted most of it to shenanigans.

CAN HE NOT BE IN FIFTH GRADE THIS TIME, PLEASE DAD PLEASE MAKE THE TEACHERS PUT HIM IN HIGH SCHOOL?

which means it clearly needs to happen at some point.

... /clicks all those links.

WELL THEY COULD PROBABLY FORGE PAPERWORK TO MAKE HIM SKIP A COUPLE GRADES.

yessssssss... yess.... someday.

DAMIAN APPROVES OF THIS

HOW ABOUT UNIVERSITY PAPERS?

IF HE GETS HIS GED LIKE TIM THEY CAN TALK ABOUT UNI

he would be surliest child prodigy to ever step foot on whatever ivy league school he went to. daddybat would be so proud.

HE CAN DO THAT. DAMIAN SAYS BRING IT, HE IS SO EDUCATED HE COULD DO IT IN HIS SLEEEEEEEEP.

dude could you imagine moving into your dorm to find your rooomate is ten

OF COURSE HE COULD.

... at least you wouldn't have to worry about them getting smashed and bringing girls back to the room?

YAY, DAMIAN LIKES SUPPORT AND APPROVAL

but what if YOU got smashed and brought girls back to the room?

TOO BAD BRUCE IS TERRIBLE AT THOSE THINGS

then I should've gone to a state school.

IT'S OKAY, THAT IS NORMAL TO HIM SO HE PICKS UP PENNIES AND THINKS HE'S RICH

tsk tsk

.. heh.

Only if Selina can be his teacher.

... Damian is horrified. THAT HARLOT!

I'd love if there was something like this, because I'm always sad about having missed out on the earlier plots :3

AND THAT SOUNDS FUN.

City plot and baby plot are the only plots we revisit ahahah. We'll go back to a city eventually B)

Hey Lois, how do you feel about hearing that Metropolis doesn't exist on some earths? \o/

Yayyyy, I figured, since I'd heard you talk about that before.

HA. Remember when she first showed up and she was just like I WOULD JUST STEAL A HELICOPTER AND FLY HOME 8| Wouldn't she be in for a surprise...
