plot with kanaya for the dream world!


go rimbaud
aka i got cleared to cassandra complex this shit

go rimbaud
though
doomed 🤖 yaoi
i saw you might be planning to have shepard try to free other dreamers, maybe they should team up

doomed 🤖 yaoi
UH YES PLEASE especially since holy fuck, i have not threaded off kanaya since i was playing bradbury

doomed 🤖 yaoi
lemme take a look at thiiis

doomed 🤖 yaoi
okay KNUCKLECRACKS so you've seen some of the potential consequences for freeing dreamers, i haven't yet figured out a scenario for making that happen yet so i'm WIDE OPEN there

doomed 🤖 yaoi
i do think it'd be funny if kanaya initially ran into shepard and he was one of those 'haha no' dismissive people only to run into her again and be like SHIT, U WERE RIGHT

go rimbaud
i imagine if they're getting anywhere near twenty, most of those are probably npcs

go rimbaud
and man that sounds like it'd be hilarious

go rimbaud
she's going to be so mad through this whole plot

doomed 🤖 yaoi
okay what if

doomed 🤖 yaoi
their initial meeting gets so yelly they draw attention from npc russian soldiers ...

doomed 🤖 yaoi
get shot and die???


go rimbaud
i'm into that

doomed 🤖 yaoi
shepard won't remember it initially but ofc kanaya will so LMAO CONTRIBUTE TO HER FURY

doomed 🤖 yaoi
but yeah i'd love for them to figure out some way to figure out how to free npcs. the ooc post mentioned edge of tomorrow tho so i'm laughing SUPER HARD bc if you've seen that movie

doomed 🤖 yaoi
there's one point where tom cruise is just like OH MY GOD, KILL ME SO I CAN RESET MYSELF

go rimbaud
they're going to be tom cruise dying over and over

doomed 🤖 yaoi
[yakkety sax plays while shepard and kanaya run around convincing people to shoot them]

go rimbaud
this is way too in line with kanaya's fucked up morals

doomed 🤖 yaoi
i can probably think of a less absurd scenario when i've actually had sleep but otherwise that's the best i can come up with

go rimbaud
KILL ME ALREADY TO SAVE YOURSELF

doomed 🤖 yaoi
this is a great first impression

doomed 🤖 yaoi


go rimbaud
now the only question is going to be

go rimbaud
how do they know the npc soldats who shoot them got out

go rimbaud
it's the old jamjar problem

doomed 🤖 yaoi
hah! well, kanaya is probably in a better position to do this than shep is

doomed 🤖 yaoi
since for the first week or so she can remember stuff between waking and dreaming, y?

doomed 🤖 yaoi
i figure like ... even if shepard KNOWS stuff while he's awake, he'll struggle to remember it in-dream, but if they manage to talk IRL (as it were) maybe they can work the problem from that side too

doomed 🤖 yaoi
teamwork



go rimbaud
oh you know she's going to be journaling everything when she wakes up

go rimbaud
it's been like six, seven years since she's had to coordinate anything in her dreams, but it won't be the first time

doomed 🤖 yaoi
good thing she's got the experience heck yeah

go rimbaud
she should probably make a post after the first few days, once she's figured out it's going to be recurring

doomed 🤖 yaoi
'try to remember to ask people to kill you haha lol'

go rimbaud
the biggest obstacle right now is thinking up the logistics of how they figure that out

go rimbaud
i don't expect she'll know by the time she does make a post

doomed 🤖 yaoi
haha right ... there's so many moving parts to this, it's hard to guess what people will be posting about/discovering

go rimbaud
so the best plan is to play it by ear and have fun

doomed 🤖 yaoi
in general i think making a big ruckus > enough to prompt some of those in-dream consequences > having something more concrete to report back to other people trying to find stuff would be a good general track to go

go rimbaud
yeah getting them shot is a fun start

go rimbaud
imma tag shep while i think about my own starter

doomed 🤖 yaoi
sounds good! i guess another straight up way to just trigger the FUN SHIT happening is to bump into sylar (separately or together) and compare notes

doomed 🤖 yaoi
but i think i'm gonna sink into doodle hell for the rest of the night

go rimbaud
that sounds like a good place

go rimbaud
imma get some rp done so i can get back into bird hell

doomed 🤖 yaoi
let's do it


doomed 🤖 yaoi
THIS IS SUPER UNRELATED HAHA i just found this going through old art


pollуαηηα
poor kanaya

go rimbaud
doomed 🤖 yaoi
: this is great especially because shinji ikari is still her best friend in mom

go rimbaud
pollуαηηα
: she's had too good a year, she was overdue for some suffering

go rimbaud
at least a million dream deaths is the exact kind of suffering she'll brush off entirely after

pollуαηηα
john will give her some change

pollуαηηα
or a couch to sleep on

go rimbaud
like "whew at least i didn't die in any way that really mattered"

go rimbaud
he's gonna take pity on the crazy women talking utter nonsense

pollуαηηα
yup

go rimbaud
she won't even take the couch because why would she sleep in a dream, that's absurd

go rimbaud
she will accept a shower though

go rimbaud
no one ever realized a bag lady could be so vain

go rimbaud
steals a nail file and never puts it down, her hands look awful

pollуαηηα
what about baby?

go rimbaud
baby is either going to be Real Upset that mom is sleeping so much, or is in one of the bags

go rimbaud
i have not yet decided, but leaning to the first

go rimbaud
just so i can tag people with a loud chirping grub with no available translator

pollуαηηα
kanaya just carries a cabbage around in the dream

pollуαηηα
"look at my beautiful daughter. she has my eyes"

go rimbaud
the cabbage has ashiah's face carved into it, kanaya's just like "the fuck"

go rimbaud
if this is meant to be an au where the russian invasion succeeded, maybe she was institutionalized because ashiah died in the aftermath

go rimbaud
she hatched like just a month before that

go rimbaud
though whatever au history she has isn't going to be touched on much because she's conscious

kuja defender
I KNOW I'M LATE but hahaha plugsuit kanaya

VIGIL 🔫
I want something but I don't know what yet

kuja defender
also I'm pretty sure I'm doing resistance shinji so maybe we can do a thing?

go rimbaud
we can definitely do a thing

go rimbaud
possibly where shinji is like Concerned because he knows it's been a bad year and she's just been pretty crazy lately and he maybe hasn't seen much of her since it all started

go rimbaud
VIGIL 🔫
: i'm gonna get a starter up for her a little later, so i'm sure we can figure something out for them once i get some good prompts

VIGIL 🔫
awesome! I'll just tag in there and not worry about cooking up details for now

kuja defender
Actually given what I may be going with for shinji it might be that she has to be the concerned one

kuja defender
spending over a year as part of a guerrilla military group and actually using his combat skills on people instead of monsters has probably not done great things to his mental state

kuja defender
/goes to write a thing for this

go rimbaud
given that she is actually regular her in not regular her's life, most definitely

go rimbaud
okay i've written an opener, now i just need to think of the prompts to accompany it

go rimbaud
harassing soldats is definitely going to be one of them, because kanaya has never been a woman with a good sense of self-preservation

go rimbaud
then like, hmmm, arguing with a food truck vendor

go rimbaud
disrupting traffic by banging a pan in the street

go rimbaud
i need ideas for really dumb things she can do
