Question Speculat about the Gen 2 Whateleyverse

OK guess two, based on Elrod's info and having the right number of students (Sorry Victor).

Backtrack - Poe
Calliope - Poe
Cerulea - Dickinson
Dragonblade - Twain
Dragonsfyre - Poe
Eisenmadel - Dickinson
Glyph - Melville
Hikaru - Melville
Invictus - Whitman
Kenshin - Twain
Lapin - Dickinson
Nick Jr. - Twain
Shieldwall - Melville
Victor - Emerson

Bored, and getting it wrong with hilarious reasons is as good as getting it right ...

Dragonsfyre, Whitman Melview, Jadis is milking her parents, the least they can do is put her up in the best dorm.

Backtrack, Poe (Have we seen Backtrack yet?) - first I've not heard of them, so since I'm too lazy to look up the introduction, I'm too lazy to make my own guess.

Kenshin, Twain. Nah, they are going to torment one of the girls (either his keeper or his 'girlfriend') and you need to have him in the same dorm to do that well, so three co-ed dorms, two for special reasons he doesn't match, leaves Melville.

Hikaru, Melville, where else? This girl is built for the place.

Victor Rivera, Twain. Nah, name like 'Rivera' sounds posh, and ElrodW's making all those jokes about gentleman thief, sounds like the Pink Panther, so let's put him in the right stomping grounds, Melville.

Lapin, Poe. I'm going with 'it's still the changeling dorm, there's no reason she didn't put it on her form, so she's where she should be'.

Invictus, Emerson. Um, OK, I got nothing else so I'll be lazy.

Calliope, Poe. Eisenmadel, Poe. Hmm. Do the grandparents fill the form out straight, or do they make the girls hide it? Do they figure there is a reason for the questions and answer them correctly, or do they think it's a secret that must be hidden. Decisions. decisions. I'm a gonna go with the grandparents figured out the secret of Poe (they have the contacts to do it, and there's no way they didn't find every secret they could before sending their precious grandchildren there), so, doctor's orders, these two girls go where the support group and proper help is.

AJ, Emerson Nope. Rich, Black Seed, straight to Melville, do not pass go, collect Mummy's money anyhow.

Nick. Hmm, is a choice here between 'wanting the Animen to be treated normally and putting them with the other GSD cases in a cottage that can handle that' or 'Hawthorn, let not make an entire generation of our boys feel inadequate.' Since there are showers at the Martial Arts dojos and there's no way they are making him shower alone like Ayla did, they can't protect the boy's fragile egos anyway, so let's not add to the expense. Twain.

Cerulea, 'Sara Lee' Desert Girl (couldn't resist the joke) now, as the girlfriend, she's in Melville for all your fiery Gadgeteer goodness on being snarked, and that extra 'it goes boom!' in the class warfare.

Shieldwall, Twain. Um, someone needs to go to Emerson, and the list is getting short here.

Glyph, Melville *shrill whistle* Penalty, cruel and unusual punishment, not ElrodW's chew toy. Student rescued and put in the GSD friendly dorm, Whitman.

It was AJ's parents who got milked by Jadis, not Dragonfyre's.

You might be right with AJ, but somehow I think his pet rules him out of Melville.

annachie wrote: It was AJ's parents who got milked by Jadis, not Dragonfyre's.

Whoops, my mistake.

Hmm, American's think the British accent is posh anyway, so let's leave DF in the fires of Melville ... What? It only rymes with 'hell' it's not actually on that plain? Who cares, it's full of rich people, it belongs there anyway, and I'm sure a dragon could use a little warmth, failing that, a snack that nobody will miss, little bit of gold from the hoard and the 'grieving' parents won't be bothered anymore anyway.

Invictus, being a girl type person, would be more than welcome by the other residents of Emerson, but not I think by the Whateley Admin.

I think Invictus would object. With brick powered arguments.

Well... I did mention they're all in "traditionally" named cottages...

Or she might enjoy going into the showers, pointing and laughing .

Nah, she's too much of the shrinking violet type. She'd probably run out screaming.

grumble, grumble no respect for the artists work! Mumble, mumble

Ok, OK! I get it! No girls in the boy's dorm, shesh! Anyone would think I broke one of the golden rules or something!

Fine! Invites can go to Dickinson, cause punishment! There! Satisfied?

Now I'm going to go daydream about an avitar for the Imp of Perversity getting a job entering cottage assignments into the Whateley computers, so there!

"Invites"

Well she'll be popular with the boys.

Yes, I see it, Nagrij. And I'm actually sorely tempted to let you do it...

It's entertaining enough reading how some guesses can be so radically different from what I would choose.

So the real question is how on earth do you folks in the know keep yourselves in check and (presumably) functioning?

Things kinda died on cottage guessing... and some of you were getting pretty close...

Me? Was I close?

Hey wait, I'm canon now, I can go check! Mwahahaha!

DanZilla wrote: Things kinda died on cottage guessing... and some of you were getting pretty close...

I would keep guessing, if I got more information about my guesses, but the total number of ways those kids can be put into the 7 cottages is a bit much for random changes to guesses.

And I suspect we'll find out more information that will change the guesses in the next few days.

Phoenix Spiritus wrote: Me? Was I close?

I CAN confirm that all of your guesses were on the right campus... if not always in a dorm of the appropriate sex... oh, wait... you fixed that.

AND... of the ones you got wrong... at least you weren't the only one that got THOSE wrong.

Well... you have 7 different guesses on your second try... you have the same number correct on both your first and second sets of guesses.

New speculation! Inspired by the WU gameshow thread: in addition to the Weapons Fair, the Workshop now runs a BattleBot competition in late spring.

Yes, and the Whateley BattleBots aren't remote controlled.

Ergonomic might be teaching a class called Zen and the Art of Battlebot Construction, but he would have to be faculty because he is a member of the class of '08, and as such should have graduated long before Gen 2 starts.

Belphegor is a senior now,

Nah, Mrs. Carson wouldn't put up with him for that long.

Silo and Bronco are now employed by Whateley, still fixing stuff they break (along with stuff the students break).

That Squidly's daughter, from the Big Apple story, will end up at Whateley under the code name Octopussy.

Or Hentai.

When I first heard of that movie, I assumed that it was porn parody, not an actual Bond film.

May I offer a couple of pieces of trivia relating to this movie...

1] Actress Maud Adams, who played Octopussy, is the only actress to have been a 'Bond Girl' in two different films. She first appeared in 'The Man with the Golden Gun'.

2] The film's title was taken from one of Ian Fleming's short stories and, apart from that, the film bears little relation to the original story.

I could come up with more... but I don't want to bore you all to tears.


John.

Also look up Morticia Adams. If many can remember she had squid like feet and not regular feet.

@Norwegian Ice Girl's Codename - Guess: Arctica - 'Cause Sonata Arctica is Finnish, and I guess I guess they're are close enough to Norwegian to serve as codename inspiration...

The Norwegian Sidhe girl is mine, and she's not going by Arctica. That's Gen 1 Whateleyverse, anyway.

Is the Norwegian Girl from a Magical People with Ice Powers called Tora Olafsdotter, by any chance?

Knowing that this isn't an uncommon business practice, I bet Ayla and Hugh "share" publishing buildings, what I mean by that is AJG by its very nature will have spikes in printing demands, new marvel comics, instruction booklets for most tech products, owner's manuals, catalogs, and so on, but those will come in spurts so it does not necessarily make sense to upgrade equipment as it wont always be used. Hugh has equipment (and employees operating and maintaining it) that isn't being used at optimum capacity, thus costing money, in this situation, taking on AJG overflow even though they would get a smaller profit margin from it makes sense, with expensive machinery you want as little down time as possible.

Hugh doesn't need to employ his own printing people - as long as he retains the rights, he can simply pay others to print things for him. Outsourcing is pretty common too.

Depending on the scale of how much you are printing, it can also be more expensive, significantly more so if you have a significant demand, Which he at least did at one time, right now he'd be borderline, and it costs money to close up shop even if its a direct sale, and everyone stays employed, because of all the people you have to hire to smooth out the kinks of the sale of the print house, the transfer of employees and the legalities. Outsourcing makes sense if you don't have and never had high enough demand to warrant a facility (or additional facility) or when it would cost you less to sell the current facilities and outsource then the money those facilities are loosing (on a yearly basis)

All that depends on what you're printing. Chances are, as a minor, Tia isn't going to be doing the type of modeling you think she is... she'd have to get her mom's permission, after all. Can you see Estrella Del Bosque giving it?

Now, clothes modeling or fashion modeling? Doesn't need to be as printer heavy on the front end, because most of it is all for ads. You use the ad print, send it off in electronic form, then magazines and other such print places print it off and set it.

1: Playboy does own it's own presses (and they're keeping them, btw, because it's one of the areas they are black in, and if you think on a moment, who says they're not accepting outsourcing themselves?) for a reason you all missed.

When Hugh started Playboy, he walked a REALLY fine line with the pornography laws, and it wasn't til Flint's case that they were struck down, so a lot of publishing houses (ie, printers) would NOT print Playboy (or worse), so Hugh was making money in that regard.

2: Tia may not by law, in the United States, do any modeling of a certain nature. Age restrictions, flat out. No permission whatsoever is allowed.

All true, but an American citizen with permissions can travel to another country, where laws are more lax, and do it. It has happened before.

As for the printing, I literally wasn't sure if his printing house was in the black or not. The end result is, for the fiction, it doesn't matter.

Well he has WAY more models then Tia, my comments were on the business connections that may seep through the stories. Actually I don't think she'll do much in the way of modeling per-say, more like Hugh's taking advantage of the sensationalism attached to her, and making sure his company is mentioned any time cameras point her way. Lets face it, she's the next best thing to a proper celebrity, and it wont be hard to make her into one if Hugh plays his cards right, her learning capabilities (and possible inclinations) give her potential pretty close to a true gadgeteer, even without her own holdouts (or instead buying them) her will to fight combined with her brains to keep herself safe, and agility will make her quite the underdog- I'm thinking she'll be the strategist of Kimba Gen 2 (I will continue to call them that until there is an official team name)

New speculation (which I really had last week, but forgot to post about it) is that last week's solstice moon is highly significant in the WU magically, and is at least part of why Mrs Cardin et al went missing this year as opposed to any other year.

So, how do you guys think teleportation has improved, if it has improved at all, by 2016?

That's NOT a devise, it's a 100% viable point to point spacial transportation system. That particular variant requires a facility at both ends (it is not variable, travel only works between those two points given the hardware/software designed for it) and both ends require enormous power drains for stable operations. As a result, it is rarely used as a shortcut to the West Coast even under certain emergency conditions.

However, there are other Gadgeteer based designs that are more advanced than that one... where initiation and destination points are variable and those calculations are handled by software instead of hardware, and so on. Obviously the further into the future the Gadgeteer has pulled the teleportation tech from; the harder it will be to reproduce because of manufacturing issues and the more likely that sub components (like power supplies) will be unavailable without other Gadgeteer work on those areas.

In THAT sense, the question you might be asking is less about whether Gadgeteers have viable teleportation than whether have seeded teleportation into the technology base of the baseline Engineering system.

We also know that anti-grav tech is more highly used, due to some cars having an anti-grav system?

This week in Gen 2 chat - Belphegor chairs and the fatsuits required to pilot them.

Why would a Belphegor chair need a fatsuit? Cushioning??

Thinking of both the paper and teleporation comments, it wouldn't surprise me if by the time of G2, someone, somewhere has thought the concept of Aperture Science was a great idea - and maybe even built a replica of the most sarcastic AI ever seen (although hopefully not installed neurotoxin containers adjacent to the HVAC...).

Heck, some devisor may have even built a working portal gun (although being a devise, there's a strange shortage of volunteers willing to jump through the portals...)

I actually wrote a micro scene about the devisors reacting to Orange Box...

For a Student ID name, a tag becomes open 4 years after the previous user graduates, to avoid any file confusion.

Or, as Jadis would put it, "You want a handle like 'She-Beast'? Be my guest! I got stuck with it! i wanted 'Spellbinder', but Hekate's backup singer got THAT!"

Kristin that's some highly specific information here about an "unattributed" killing spree that is making me really want to take a nice long vacation in one of those "out-of-sight-out-of-mind" locations now …

Hmm... Presuming that Tessa will have an active MGC, and Charge watches over her with the assumption of Precog, like Mrs. Potter over her daughter, she'd still be alive, and not in a coma, no amnesia, not in a miniverse like Granite, etc... Presuming that the predictions are that good...

Interesting. I hadn't thought of that!
Or maybe I already did! I guess you'll have to wait to find out!

Hmmmm - maybe I should include her and Tessa could be the Gen 2 version of Jade .....

She would be in France, unless she's not... Hmm... ... Perhaps there's a European or something Mutant School by then, and the British just use Whateley 'cause it's more English or something??

Yes she does, and in keeping with her name, she is an Avatar with a Sloth Spirit. With luck she will get to her Monday morning class promptly on Wednesday.

Hmm... How have the Whateley Sims changed, with the greater proliferation of VR tech? More groups? Larger groups? Etc.

This week in the Whateley Gen 2 chat - Tom Petty!

Let us know when you guys go full our Muppet Rhapsody.

I actually watched all of that and laughed...

And that's next week.

So, Whateley G2's also got a band? ... Or some kind of fighters that have theme songs or something... Hmm...

Hmm... I wonder if there'll be a Peeper replacement for Gen2... If so, unlikely to be a girl?

How many luck / probability manipulators will be at Whateley at Gen2? ... Possibly more than the... six and possibly more of Gen1? ... Then again, they're rare... I think... So even with more mutants at Whateley, five seven luck manipulators at Whateley, all at once, is unlikely?

I'd assume that regardless of the size of the student body, Whateley would place a hard limit on the number of probability warpers (aka odds manglers) who don't have complete control over their power (which likely equates to all, given the nature of the power), only to be raised with the building of additional teaching accommodation (as in completely separate buildings) to minimise interaction between them.

Heh, maybe rather than Nimbus' scheming, the hole in Chou's tapestry was courtesy of too many probability warpers congregating at the same place at the same time...

The answer is more than 0, fewer than 17.

Well that answer is probably right.

If he's a mutant, I wonder if Cardiac and Ebon Flow's son... Will be seen at Gen2 Whateley, in the later years... Unless he manifests early...

Is Ebon Flow's backlash finished by then?

Hmm... Is taking down the Chtapodi gonna be a big thing of Gen2? Nah, that seems too small scale. The Tong of the Black Madonna were taken out in like... One story arc.

Not much of a speculation, but the records and camera issues will only last a few weeks. The spying will last longer, as it involves very little cyber side.

Hmm... If Chtapodi's getting better drug making tech... makes me wonder how rates of drug users and criminals are different in Whateley-verse...

https://krystianscience.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/stubbypurple.png

Is Chtapodi that cute?

Hmm... WMG for a Empowered -expy, due to a Spark Suit accident or something.

WMG for at least one character getting a BIT or something from Monster Musume.

WMG for a Sailor Moon inspired character. (Gen1 might be a better fit, as Sailor Moon is more in-vogue then?)

This week! Malagua and Kangaroos; what is the connection?

Probably, but not in this situation.

Illusion, or a summon? ... A plushie?? ... Or some kind of creative class, like Art...

Actually just random talk from crazies who own word processing programs. That's all it really was.

At least for now.

Hmm. Speculating all 9 Sidhe Queens have been reincarnated by Gen2? Or by its end?

Next up, Dairy Queen, the queen of cattle to come.

<.<

Hm...

What are the chances that Ayla is a major Whateley donor in 2016? Do you think he's on the Board of Trustees yet?

The chances are 100%, since he's ALREADY a major donor in 2007.

This week, drunken spirits.

Note: Have we seen any drunk Avatars? ... There was musing that drunkedness and medication effects could transfer between host and spirit.

Or Spirits as in those of liquor...

Danny / Danica's getting drunk? Or someone else?

Crack theory:
I'm thinking that not only is he a trustee but he is Hartford's fiance and trapped with Mrs. Carson in the tunnels.

Wait, wait... This is Gen2... So, something related to the Amaterasu Myth, the Come Out Of The Cave one, with the party and the drunken naked dancing... If I'm remembering right...

Betting Thrasher's baby sister as a Gen 2 student? Likely she's a Bad Seed, if she's there. Have we seen all the Bad Seeds of Gen 2?

Hikaru doesn't suffer from pathological intoxication.
She's also a regener.

And she gets moderation in her sake intake.

>> As for Ammy liking a nice saucer of sake... now, now.

I'd like to see DeVille show up in a few more stories.

The reason that Louis is no longer at Whateley in G2 is because he decided to open a drinking establishment called the FuBar.

Nah, I'm shipping Fubar and Grabby.

Quite untrue.

He is in fact working at Starbucks.
He's a Fubar-ista...
