Story detail request: Reunions 4 - Sofaspud - 01-05-2011
I like incorporating other people's characters where I can, and in Reunions I'm drawing on a large cast already -- but there's one scene where I think I can tap the collective creativity of the group to better effect than relying on my own imagination. So, I present you with an out-of-context snippet and a question:
If any of your characters were attending the party described below, and they chose to come as a villain, what villain would it be?
Quote:The Legendary base wasn't a nightclub or a bar, and it wasn't aLet me know who the character is, and what villain -- doesn't have to be signature, can be their own personal nemesis or whatever. Add a short description if you'd like. I won't guarantee to use everyone but I'll be more than happy to try.
speakeasy or bistro or jazz hole or pub or tavern or restaurant or any
single one of these things. It somehow managed to be all of them at
once without being tacky -- though privately thought the tiki
torches were a bit overkill -- and had a reputation as the spot
to hold a party, at least among its allies -- and if word on the street
was to be believed, among the general hero populace as well. The D was
still the place to go, but if you couldn't get in or if you wanted
something a bit less exotic, the Legendary base was... legendary.
Tonight
was the annual Bring Your Own Villain party, something Mag Flashlight
and Pooky Da Imp had cooked up over beers, shrimp, and a
liquid-oxygen-fueled hibachi -- the former claiming strict sobriety and
complete innocence, the latter unable to recall events clearly but quite
certain that it had been a good idea at the time. Perhaps
unsurprisingly, it had caught on, and there was much innuendo and barb
flying around at the choices those who had elected to be the villains
had made. Some had thrown themselves into it wholeheartedly, some less
so, and then others...
blinked as Hamidon oozed by, and thought briefly that that had to be the most clever use of a
personal force field ever.
(If you'd like to volunteer to be the Hamidon costume, feel free -- right now I have no idea who it is, but they've got screen time.)

I'll throw in with 2 of mine Spud.
Dark Seraph as Lord Nemesis and Neph as Ghost Widow.
Seraph would enjoy a laugh acting as a fake nemesis while Neph... she probaly mugged a Widow for her costume. (the problem being finding a Widow in her size
)- Ankhani - 01-05-2011
Emet could possibly be the sorta-Bouncer, maybe with Emet as a Granite DE. Amber has PFF, but I have no good idea why she'd dress up as Hami. Kinda fits though, with the Dispatch work I imagine she does when not on screen. (Which is a lot)
I've plenty of characters that love to party, though one would likely need to Get A Room, and another's idea of a 'party' involves too much drugs&alcohol and a huge brawl, so o.o If you need more, I can spin reasons.

Heart of Artemis would show up in her original uniform (KoA cammo), with a collection of appropriate ultra-conservative feminist tracts that, upon further reading, are actually cunningly disguised satires of Knives of Artemis manifestos. Blackstone would probably show up as another Lord Nemesis (although he might slip up and refer to himself as "Dr. Moebius," a name that he will not elaborate on), and lead off a round of Duelling Megalomaniacs. (Blackstone: "It's like Duelling Banjos, only with fewer Rednecks.")

Misao as herself, with a kage-bunshin of herself as... herself in Night Widow gear
Or, perhaps, all three of our lovely kunoichi, with Nogi herself as the villain? (Fox, V?)

My first thing approximating a useful thought was "Perhaps Shia could dye her hair and dress as a famous figure of dread from her homeworld, Mir... but wait, Mir spent most of the time that she was a villain -naked-. It doesn't sound like *that* kind of party..."
I can't really imagine most of my characters dressing as one that isn't flat-out fictional from their perspective.

Well, nothing says the villain has to be in-universe. I'm sure there's a Moriarty in there somewhere, for example -- I'm sure the stories of Doyle are reality somewhere, but in Paragon City they're still fictional.
But there's probably a minimum dress code, yes.

Mmm. Well, when it comes to villains......I imagine Lynna would do a pretty good job of impersonating Arakhn or however you spell her name. Female, Nictus, she's got everything there. Hell, being a shapeshifter, she could probably just walk in looking exactly like her.
Also, in a moment of whimsy, I have the image of Sylia pulling out a wig and a dress and coming as the Countess Crey.

Picture this. Bobcat costume. Cheap store-bought cat ears, the type attached to a headband. Clip-on tail. Wig. Brown tights with a V-shape cut out the front with a pair of scissors.
Worn by Superball. Who's still got his mask on.

Sudden silence fell on the party as cherry petals filled the air, and ten identical portrayals of Lady Nogitsune escorted in a sinister looking Japanese man wearing black-enameled Western Knight's armor.
"Please excuse this one's rudeness," ten voices uttered in eerie chorus. "This one has the distinct honor to introduce Oda Nobunaga."
