BotCast Open Discussion Post

[loltraitorlol]

Okay, botcast. Hi.

Basically, we've been having some communication issues lately, which is... 99% on my end and my fault. orz. I'm having trouble keeping this plot straight, I don't remember what I do and don't know, and recently it led to me godmoding Soundwave a little. x_X;

Thus, this post; basically I think we need to have a discussion about our current 30 Xanatos Pileup and where we're going with it. I'm having it on this journal as that will keep it off the main comm and thus it won't get buried under 40 million other posts about other things, and we can keep this as a discussion.

That said, things I want known:

- What is your character planning/doing right now?
- What can other characters know about what this character is planning/doing?
- What does your character know about what other people are doing/planning?
- What would you like to do in the future, possibly with other characters?
- Any particular goals / things you want to have happen short term?
- Same question, but for the long-term?
- Other... stuff?

And then we are organized! Yay. This also goes for people involved with significant CR around Botcast *looks at Bitsy and Grimm*

Yaaaay?

That would be awesome ^^

Andfj I kind of want Skydive to be one of the people to encounter it when it happens, just so Percy can be even more embarrassed.

[old-skies.livejournal.com]

XD But Skydive can't fly, Starscream! And Perceptor's his new favorite person ever, so.



Skydive knows about tea, and he knows that this Percy isn't his Percy at all. No dead world angst yet, though, or knowledge of Perceptor's sniping skills.

8D That would be amazing and I would love it if Skydive could be there. Just so he can be all *blink, blink* and such.

Heck, he'd even know what a geisha is.

[loltraitorlol.livejournal.com]

lol he WOULD, while Percy would be all "WHY AM I A FEMME. IN MY UNIVERSE ALL FEMMES ARE CRAZY, SINCE THERE IS ONLY ONE."

STARSCREAM DOESN'T CARE YOU ARE A JET THEREFORE YOU ARE 1. SUPERIOR TO NON-JETS AND 2. SHOULD BE A 'CON. SO THERE.

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

WHAT IS HE DOING/PLANNING?
- Hanging around Shockwave a lot. A loooot. He cares and is becoming kind of terribly possessive.
- Trying to figure out what to do about his loyalty programming, if he should override it or buckle under its influence.
- Trying to keep Trowa alive for the moment.
- Quickly losing any sense of loyalty to Starscream, which mainly started after Screamer beat the crap out of him twice. This most recent bout of orders hasn't really helped.

WHAT CAN OTHER PEOPLE KNOW?
It all varies. He's the most honest with GLaDOS and Shockwave, and partly with Trowa. Otherwise, Soundwave is an extremely secretive person. I would say, of course, his main weakness/sensitivity can be known would be his relationship with Ravage. SO I GUESS. UM. ASK?

WHAT DOES HE KNOW ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE?
More than you'd probably like. Soundwave is very observant of others. So it really just boils down to what your character has admitted out loud without expecting him to listen -- or confessed to him because you're silly enough to trust him.

ANY PARTICULAR GOALS?
- Seriously considering having him kill off Starscream, because Screamer is making that decision very easy. He's mainly capable of considering this by rerouting the whole loyalty "programming" to being loyal to the Decepticon cause. Is Screamer useful for the cause? Maybe. However, that's coming into question lately for several reasons -- primarily, Starscream's cowardice when faced with the potential threat of Galvatron.
- MAYBE KNOCK OFF SENTINEL TOO?
- What to do about the loyalty issue. Were Soundwave to ditch the programming somehow entirely, it would open up to interesting plot since he'd have no ties to anything or anyone. So perhaps it would be a temporary thing if someone considers "helping" him by getting rid of it and realizing that it wasn't really such a wise idea.
- GENERALLY. JUST. Doing something terrible/villainous. Yep.

And then Skydive would explain that not only is he a femme, but he's also a [insert geisha description here].

All flat-faced like.

[loltraitorlol.livejournal.com]

oh god

and then explain IDW Arcee (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Arcee_%28G1%29#IDW_comics_continuity) in hushed horror-story style tones, a la sitting around the campfire telling the poor protoforms about OMG THE SCARY FEMME :O

[old-skies.livejournal.com]

Obviously, the geisha power discovery would be a life scarring event for all involved.

And then we will get a femme in the City.

And there will be terror.

[old-skies.livejournal.com]

Oh, really? Really?

Re: 'where is Nanashi'

Is waiting for Skydive to make more of a public thing of himself so that it doesn't look like Trowa's playing double agent a second time if any of the 'Cons see them talking. Attempted some kind of interaction at Edgeworth's party but didn't really say who he was and wasn't sure he was particularly wanted because he misread the situation, so is being careful about that too for now.

Until then, though, he will sitll help him if he sees that Skydive needs assistance.

[unnamed-nothing.livejournal.com]

/wants to see this villainy yes (and to a smaller, more frightened degree, the 'i has no loyalty' version as well although hoshit that's gonna be scary if you do that)

/also willing to talk/plan about any of the 'what to do with this human kid' business if you ever want to/need to

[old-skies.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, the party XD;

*nods* Right, then. Thanks!

Yeah, the public thing may take a while. 8D;

/icly grabbyhands the language skills because would have lasted so much longer going unnoticed if he'd found a tutor

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

It would be really interesting to play out. I'd actually really like for it to happen, if someone attempted to remove it out of seeing it as a good thing to do... then the realization that, uh, no, that was a bad thing because it's seriously a main part of his "programming". It wouldn't be permanent, but it'd be fun as hell to play out for awhile.

[notsoloyal]

sg grimlock...

shockwave would have a complete meltdown

possibly lasting for over a month

/sob. i want this

[unnamed-nothing.livejournal.com]

>:3

[notsoloyal]

stop hanging around me so much. it's creeping me out. people will get ideas.


that said. i look forward to these villainous acts. although shockwave might want to slap him and tell him he's not being careful enough, even if he is.

[unnamed-nothing.livejournal.com]

/hums and slaps a forged adoration note from Shockwave (typewritten old-school for that Courier effect) on Soundwave's fridge door just to mess with them both

/innocently comes back with the tea he said he was making as an excuse

[notsoloyal]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

my brain is just thinking 'chipmunks'

[unnamed-nothing.livejournal.com]

IT IS AN EVILLY-GRINNING CATFACE.

In other words "do not give me ideas I tend to take ideas and run very very far with them"

[notsoloyal]

DARN IT TROWA DO YOU WANT YOUR THREAT LEVEL TO GO UP TO 10?!

[notsoloyal]

can has grimlock?



and a cat-chipmunk?

[unnamed-nothing.livejournal.com]

...

[Dejected sigh.]

Noooooo.

[Goes back and crumples up note.]

[unnamed-nothing.livejournal.com]

/will consider, after reading SG?

/...not sure where to get one of those, though
