    Uh, what? Do you mean Piranha Plants ? Because, well, what comes to mind when you mention "Parana" plants is this:


    Parana Plants are man eating plants that pop out of pipes in the Mario Bros games.
    They have a round red with white poke-a-dot "flower" with teeth and sometimes spit fire. And are about the with of the pipe they pop out of.
    A quick serch will find you a lot of images of them. Including some terrifying versions.

  • The recent Imp stories have had me thinking about another thief at Whateley. Would Whisper be interested in taking Imp's Larceny 101 course? She was a pretty good thief in GEO. Given how many other things carried over, I wouldn't be surprised if some of her thieving skills did too.

    Insanity: for when normal just isn't interesting enough.

    If her thieving skills did transfer over she might not need the Imps classes.
    And she is a grunt now. That will eat up a chunk of her free time.
    And she is supposed to be keeping some of her abilities secret.
    And what ever military branch she eventually joins will probably teach her what she needs to know in that aria.
    And she might still be a little shell shocked in regards to all that has happened to her. And might not want to have anything to do with her characters occupation.
    No no. Unless that author says other wise of coarse. But I don't expect to see anything more than a throw away line about it. Perhaps while looking for more club members.

    Like many Underdogs, Pol is only such because they fail to understand the power magnification that you can get from having a broad spectrum power and a little creativity.


    Anyone doubting this should reread the Jade/Jinn stories. Jade is no more than a level two at whatever she does. Unless she is a level 7 (stuck shifter) Oh and she has level 5+ regen.... But still her 'super' powers are very low level.

    The ambient lust pulls Sara free from the seal and she eats all the birdies. "That will teach them to tread on my territory." As a side effect she chirps for a while. Razerback develops a crush on her.

    Using TVs to brainwash people is theoretically a real thing! Read about it here: www.google.com/patents/US6506148


    If sufficiently stable, could turn a large number of people into zombies, and then get others to watch it... Ala Cell or something.

    I'd think there's measures against this in the Whateley-verse...


    You mean that all TV isn't all brainwashing presently?

  • Let's suppose that Metro and the Red Boer don't have a confirmed place away from Whateley to spend Summer '07, who gets to babysit?

    Jade?
    Tansy?
    Eldritch?
    She-Beast?

    This also assumes that Liz Carson hasn't already called in favours to keep Thorn, Beltane, Jade, and Metro several thousand miles apart.

    Arcanist Lupus wrote: Another bad idea (since ideas inspired by angler fish are rarely good ones).

    Conjoiner

    When this mutant comes into skin to skin contact with another person, that contact fuses the two of them, joining them into a single body sort of like conjoined twins. He has a weird mutant blood type that can handle joining circulatory systems with other people without killing either of them. The bodies will slowly fuse together from the initial contact, with the end result being a single normal human. That process would take several years to complete unless it was helped along by a full body embrace between the two bodies.(which would speed up the fusion by way of increased surface area). So far all connections have been surgically separated before they progressed more than a month. It's unclear what would happen once their brains start to fuse, but nobody is in a hurry to find out.

    Fairly early on in the process, the shared circulatory system shares powers between the two (or more. Being joined to a person doesn't prevent them from fusing with others). The other person starts to gain the ability to fuse, and if that person was a mutant, then Conjoiner will start to gain the powers of the mutant. Conjoiner seems to gain powers much faster than the other way around. The gained powers on both sides fade after separation, with Conjoiner's powers usually gone from the other party within a day or two, and Conjoiner keeping his borrowed powers much longer, although how long depends on the power and the length of time joined. Nobody is quite sure what would happen if he joined with someone with regen, but everyone is pretty sure that they don't want to find out.


    Normally I wouldn't quote something so old, but I like this idea so much that I have to ask if I can use it.

    Is the result no larger than a normal person? Can he systematically absorb every person on earth? Does it work with non-humans like Sidhe, GOOs, or Tennyo? (probably not) Does Jinn count as a person in this case? (probably not)

    Overall, I approve! Much fun can be had with The Conjoiner.

    More seriously, things should get interesting if/when the nervous systems start to fuse. For some real world weirdness along those lines, see Krista and Tatiana Hogan. They have the closest thing anyone has seen to telepathy.

    Insanity: for when normal just isn't interesting enough.
    All ideas free to use. You can probably make better use of them than me.

  • Thurban deciding to field test some of Fixx's enhanced items, by giving them to Jade.

    Theoretically, Jade could take something like itching powder, and deliver it to specific targets on a persons body. Very specific and sensitive targets.

    We know, I mean we know with absolute certainty, that someone is going to share the shoulder angel story with the Imp and she is going to go to Jade for a demonstration.
    They will show up again.

  • A Whateley Student that has the ability to transfer powers between two 'consenting' mutants. With a code name of Middleman, but everyone calls him Power Creep.

    1. Power 1 is power of Student A and Power 2 is a power of Student B. So Student A can have Powers 1&2 for a short time while Student B is 'drained'. Powers return to normal after an 5 min.

    2. Student A swaps with Student B. Powers return to normal after 15 min.

    No, Glitch causes electronics to malfunction. I This mutant makes it more likely that they'll do it on their own. And it's hardware failures, not electrical.

  • Okay, I think I remember a conversation about Avatars with incredibly specific spirits, but what about an avatar with an incredibly vague spirit? Like spirits of physics terms? Say, the spirit of Electromagnetism, or the spirit of Quarks? They would either destroy the universe or become the most powerful mutant in existence.

    Or just kill themselves.

  • The girls convince Danny to go to Halloween dressed as The Cowardly Lion. Danny isn't too happy about being dressed as a cat, or the connotations of him being 'cowardly', but the girls assure him that the Lion is actually the bravest Oz character despite his self-image, and Danny doesn't want to reject this costume idea for fear that they'll come up with something worse.

    All the same, he's not too happy when the girls bring out the red bow.

  • Identical twins Susan Evers and Sharon McKendrick meet at Whateley, unaware that they are sisters. Their identical appearance initially creates rivalry, and they continuously pull pranks on each other, which ultimately leads to a school event/class being crashed by their mischief. As punishment, they must live together in an isolated dorm (and eat together at an "isolation table") for the remainder of the term. After finding out that they both come from single parent homes, they soon realize they are twin sisters and that their parents, Mitch and Maggie, divorced shortly after their birth, with each parent having custody of one of them. The twins, each eager to meet the parent she never knew, switch places. They drill each other on the other's behavior and lives, and Susan cuts Sharon's hair into the same style as hers. While Susan is in Boston, Massachusetts masquerading as Sharon, Sharon goes to Carmel, California pretending to be Susan.

After finding out that they both come from single parent homes, they soon realize they are twin sisters and that their parents, Mitch and Maggie, divorced shortly after their birth, with each parent having custody of one of them. The twins, each eager to meet the parent she never knew, switch places. They drill each other on the other's behavior and lives, and Susan cuts Sharon's hair into the same style as hers. While Susan is in Boston, Massachusetts masquerading as Sharon, Sharon goes to Carmel, California pretending to be Susan.


    The only reason this is a bad idea is because it's unoriginal.

  • I went to research in the Wikipedia so I could snark more appropriately, and found to my surprise that the 1998 remake starred Lindsay Lohan instead of the Olsen twins. The Wikipedia lists no less than thirteen movies (in various languages) related to the original book "Das Doppelte Lottchen", but none of them is an Olsen Twins movie. Damn, I was pretty sure I had seen an ad for a movie like that, back in the Nineties when the Warner channel (Latin America) was in an "All Olsens, All The Time" glut...
    Yeah, I'm getting old. And I have a good excuse: I tuned to the channel to watch "Babylon 5" (and later, "Smallville"). I couldn't help catching a few ads during the commercial breaks.

  • Well, a quick google search for ' olsen twins parent trap ' comes up with It Takes Two, a 1995 movie with a similar plot.

    But this time Mitch and Maggie, or so they are known among the primates here, are themselves "kissing cousins" of the "shagging shoggoths" kind. Their spawnchildren's initial reality-warping powers activated during the pressures and stresses of childbirth through mismatched orifices, and so their parents regretfully split up (closer to budding, when all is finally said and done, but you get the picture) for the sake of the continent. Well, not so much for the continent and more for their lord and master still imprisoned beneath it, because surprisingly, the twins are not the foretold multiplicity destined to, um, does it count as 'releasing from imprisonment' if they consume its soul and psyche before spreading outward along the spiral arms of the galaxy as long as it ends up sort of be free from its bonds? Sure, it'll be a rotten day for the multicellular spawn of Gaea on the planet's surface, but as they say, you've got to fertilize an awful lot of eggs to make an intergalactic omelette.

    Or it could just be the Olsen twins on their 27th come-back.

    I specifically mentioned mercury because the video I watched on the topic mentioned that a layer of mercury on the bottom is too heavy to be pushed through the siphon by the water. The bad news is it's mercury, though her regen should be able to handle it.

  • Or you could just plug the outlet on the bottom with a finger. You can also just not fill it up all the way; the siphon won't start on its own unless you raise the fluid level above it's upper-most point.

    There was one nuclear reactor design that had this as a safety feature. It used a metal with a low melting point as a plug, so that if the reactor go too hot, the plug would melt, and the radioactive liquids would flow down to a separate chamber where they would be safely contained.

    This was a design that was considered, and rejected as too expensive, for Fukushima... :|

  • You are forgetting that we are talking about Jade. Jade does not need mercury; she just needs something that can cover the hole (like, a few centimeters of Saran Wrap) and... one of the J-team to hold it in place.

  • Of course what would really be a bad idea is to do the Pythagoras cup prank in the labs, and getting caught.


    The reason i meantioned Jade is because she can easily pull it off in a way that is hard to detect, like instead of one big siphon, loads of them in the walls of the cups just large enough for water based liquids and coffee to travel through, in foam or wax paper, of course in foam you have the problem of the tubes being broken by grip, so instead of going through the bottom, a smaller amount will end up on their hands

    Yeah, thanks to the press we were left with the Olsen Twins as one was discovered before they had a chance to do away with the clone.

    Claire's resistance is not relevant. But consider the informal versions of the names...

    Al Pine
    Ken Wood
    Sonny
    Clairohn
    Harm Kardon (Yeah, you got warm there)
    Pam Axonic

    The reason I asked was because the ohm is the unit of electrical resistance. The R in V=IR.

  • A Warper [class 1] Who can warp anything written down. School text books. Bam, page 34 is now all in Spanish. Tests. Answers changed. Kid who cut him in front of the food line? Suddenly it says on the screen that he is wanted in the security offices.

    Everything is going well until he gets to Whateley. Then he starts seeing strange symbols around certain people in Poe. [Also around others in other cottages but most are in Poe] Thinking that that has to do with them being nut jobs so he lets it go. Until the symbols keep jumping from person to person almost communicating. They begin to drive him mad. As no one believes him and no one can detect these 'symbols' or 'broken words'. Then symbols begin to drive people together or against one another. He starts drawing the symbols to say that they are real, but its pretty much insanity inducing to look at so they commit him to Arc Black.

  • After reading the latest installment of Absinthe 2, I was thinking "Metro's been exposed to multiple Sixth World hallucinogens - he probably could have pulled Gwen out of the crowd of hobgoblins after the attack. It's not like he can't find Doyle blind staggering stoned by now. And they have countermeasures for his glamor already."

    Bad Idea: Absinthe and Metro in the same Magic class, with the opportunity for other students to experience the overlap of Gwen's hallucinatory glamor with Mads' thanatotic glamor and "competing predator" pheromones.

    Somehow, I don't picture many Dylans volunteering for those seats (between the MCO and Security at that!)

    A college senior out to earn some money as a courier stops at Whateley to pick up some minor artifact to be delivered. The alum remembers that the Crystal Hall still gets in some excellent fish, but forgets to reinstate the seeming that makes him look his age.

    Thanks to the lunchtime rush, Fortinbras finds himself too far away to intercept Wahnsinnig, as she sees a verdammt freshman, with GSD, chowing down on something suspicious at the Beret Mafia table.

    Who wins: the peacemaker, the hothead, or the troublemaker?

  • A GSD case with spines growing out of their skin, about the size and sharpness of sewing needles. The grow straight out from the skin, rather than lying flat.

    And if that wasn't bad enough, they grow out of every part of their skin. The soles of their feet, their armpits, the sides of their fingers, the interior of their ears...

    Well, yes. But now they have far too many spines. And mostly in inconvenient places.

    It suddenly bothers me that they never mention any units associated with the power level numbers. I suppose that they could be unitless, but that seems unlikely.

    Bah. Lifting that, while impressive, is hardly a going-over-the-redline thing in Whateley. There are quite a few bricks who can top that.
    Now, lifting over nine thousand kilograms, OTOH... is a MUCH more selective club.

  • A follow up to my previous post. I've been thinking a little about the possibility of an anime-style magical girl and came up with 2 other ideas that could go with it.
    • Focus on crafting magical items (like a less powerful version of Eldritch) and primarily cast spells through said items. Said items could include staves, or what I'd prefer: magic guns. (Essentially something a devisor would make, but powered by essence) If you want an example of magical girls with guns, go watch Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Rebelion. It's my favourite anime fight scene, period. I don't know if this would qualify as gadgeteer or if it could work with just wizard.
    • An i-class warper ability to move anything she's holding into a pocket dimension and call anything in said pocket dimension to her hand. Instant weapon equips and swaps, and a quick way to change into costume, and any other clothes.

    I originally conceived of these 2 ideas to go on the same character as my aforementioned magical girl, but they could work as separate characters.

    You could combine the traits. Requiring Gadgeteer for the guns and wizard for the ammo.
    Some other good examples of magicish guns would be from:
    The "Caster Guns" from outlaw star would be good examples.
    Black Rock shooter.
    Elsword ( konachan.com/sample/40c339800ba2b209eb0b...0223042%20sample.jpg ) There are other examples.
    Hyperdimension Neptunia
    RUBY
    The manga "Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou" Has a awesome pare of magic powered railgun pistols.
    Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha has several magic based guns like the Cross_Mirage, Storm_Raider and the main characters have magic staves with gun like cartage systems.

    Wait, I thought you meant these by "Thompson Twins (although they aren't actually twins, and have different names in the original French)?

    I think Whateley might just have some of the trolliest writers. Funnily enough, Morgana is probably my favourite Whateley mage just because she doesn't know anything about magic and we get to see her learn the basics. Her casting her first light spell was adorable.

    She's also one of the closest canon characters to an anime magical girl. She's got a transformation sequence and everything!

    Pls rite moar! :lol:

    I've actually tried to categorise them a while back.
    I'd argue Ren would qualify as a form of empath. (This was revealed after I tried categorising them)
    Weiss seems more like a warper with most of her abilities coming from dust rather than her innate talents. Her summoning is likely a manifestor ability.
    After spending way more time thinking about Ruby than I should, one of the things I found is that her "speed" seems more like a PK effect than an energiser one. For 1: she's double-jumped, 2: her starting in the food fight doesn't show her running until after she's already accelerated, 3: her bizarre interactions with rose petals.

    About Qrow, I actually posted a link to Bad Luck Charm on the off-topic thread. He is supposedly qualified as a teacher; what if he happened to teach a class on probability? (Mandatory for p-class warpers. :P)

  • Man, this is one more boulder in the mountain of evidence that Cher is a crappy singer... I mean, if two different people (the other was UB-40 with Chrissie Hynde) can take your signature song and make something that's light-years better than your version, maybe it's time to hang up the microphone.

    Auxiliary evidence: Nancy Sinatra turning a kitschy country song into a wonderful, soulful lament -- "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" You might remember it from Tarantino's "Kill Bill".

  • Actually, one of my OPs, Euterpe, is an avatar whose spirit is the muse of that name; she has 'contagious' memories of some of the people she had inspired over the centuries, one of whom was Bessie Smith.

    Others included Mozart, Franz Liszt, Jim Morrison, and Biggie Smalls, BTW.

    (The character was actually based on an OWoD mage character I had drwan up but never got to play, for whom they were her previous incarnations. While Katie herself was a Hollow One, most of her past lives had been Ecstatics.)

    I think that being able to survive anything is going to make less of a difference than the exemplar mental package. Survivor is more about the social game and decoding idol clues than actually surviving. Watching a season with a bunch of exemplars would be several times more complicated that a normal season.

    Despite not being an exemplar (at least initially), Jessie would have a very good chance at manipulation others. Speaking of, telepathy, or even just empathy, would also mix things up dramatically.

  • Or one of those little rotating dish antenna on the top. That would be funky :D

    I love watching their innocent little faces smiling happily as they trip gaily down the garden path, before finding the pit with the rusty spikes.

  • Delicious design work, Sir Lee. :D

    It sounds like your dad would fit right in, with the workshop crew at my local hackspace.

    We built one of these to see if it would work... http://www.instructables.com/id/Build-a-Microwave-Transformer-Homemade-Welder/ :D

    It was very shiny...

  • Dad is an engineer's engineer. He is not happy unless he's tinkering with something. If he can improve on the original design, so much the better. (And when I say "improve", I mean "redesign important parts and fabricate them from scratch in his workshop.") I figure if we were to compute how much his time is worth, those microwaves (I believe he is doing his third right now) would be ten times more expensive than a brand-new one.
    Thing is, he did those steampunk panels simply out of practicality -- the original membrane panels were shot, spares are no longer available, so he designed and made his own. The artistic aspect of it was sorta... serendipitous. He does not set out do do anything artistic -- he thinks mostly of the functional aspects of a thing. But more often than not, the result is unexpectedly cool. Like when he painted an old refrigerator (a square-top GE Monitor -- similar to the one picture below) bright orange. Well, he intended it to be just the primer, but when my sister saw it, she begged him to leave it that color. For years, we had fun asking friends new to our home to fetch something from the fridge... they often could not find the fridge, because it didn't look like their concept of a fridge.

    Decades later, it happened again... he was restoring another old family fridge (a Fifties-vintage Philco, identical to one that can be seen in early "Angel" episodes), and used some dark blue paint he had around as primer. Again, my sister told him to leave it blue. So instead of covering it with white, he gave it a smooth finish. It's now in my living room, cooling beer and making my house "cool" by its sheer presence.

    Don't call me "Shirley." You will surely make me surly.

  • Is there a technology track student who specializes in furniture or décor?

    I mean, there's Steph, but we need someone who has taste.

    I'm imagining tables with extradimensional space for storage or lamps that can detect if someone is recording or wearing a wire. Refrigerators powered by a pico-gram of Bose-Einstein condensate.

    Have I been furniture shopping? Why yes! How did you know?

    Remember Steph is working in a very specific field of stage-set design, so she has to cater to the tastes of her customers, who are trying to achieve specific statements through the decor that they choose.

    For an example that's closer to what you are thinking of, try Hydroflux, and her bathroom/plumbing designs.

    For versions of furniture that are found in OUR narrative universe, have a look at https://www.opendesk.cc/ and some of the ways that people have been extending them by building in modules for wireless charging of mobile devices through the use of induction coils.

    Actually there is at least one. Fran Barnes. She's the one responsible for Sam Everheart's apt deco.

  • Well, I don't know about devisor furniture per se... but we have someone (Fran Barnes) who wants to be an interior decorator/architect.
    And we have a warper (Mobius) who has been doing various practical objects with built-in space warps. He's better known by his belts and vests... but I do believe he has shown a footlocker-like cube-thing.
    It's just a matter of having them talk to each other.
    We also have a gadgeteer (Hydroflux) specialized on plumbing, but who has a lot of artistic talent towards bathroom decoration.
    Jadis has enchanted a wardrobe, but I don't think she actually designed it -- rather, she appears to have taken an existing wardrobe and just added her space-warping magic.

    Mobius made vests? I don't remember that. And isn't he a divisor not a warper.

  • You are of course right, he's a devisor, which is even more apropos than a warper. But he did make vests -- for himself. Look at his first couple appearances in Ayla's stories.

  • Mobius was working on boxes of various sizes. I believe his small ones were working, but the larger ones he was having problems stabilizing.

    I'm sure Bugs would happy to help you decorate. Do you like pastels, glitter and eggs?
