Support Groups! | Super Mega-Live

[worldlyafflictions]

Who: Anyone
Where: Hotel ☆G floor
When: Day 320, early afternoon

[People who tune in to this Live notification or people passing through the lobby today will notice that all the tables and chairs from the sitting area and kitchen have been arranged into groups or circles for people to sit at, and each table has supplies on it, like dry-erase tent cards or stacks of poster board and markers for making signs. There are also 'Hi My Name Is ___' name tags in case people feel like making introductions easier. Pink is seated on a couch with Izanagi, waving at the camera.]

Hey fellow idols--unwilling and willing!--it's been an unnervingly quiet chunka time, hasn't it? But the Christmas episodes have come 'n gone and probably a new year started at some point or another! So let's do a recap episode, or what I'm gonna call the Annual Support Group Live. Basically, I've got a simple survey question for ya: what support group could ya start? What sorts of people do ya feel empathy for 'cause ya've been through the same shit? Or what other crazy thing is more common than ya might expect? Ta answer: shout it out! or better yet, make a sign!

[Gestures to the stacks of supplies and name tags.]

There's all kinds of things people might be going through, right? This is a great opportunity to find others like you! Like, "I'm from a world without all this newfangled technology and it confuses me!" or "My world doesn't have magic at all, but everyone else has super powers and it's not fair!" Our units are important, but finding people who have gone through similar experiences can really help - it's just good self-care to make sure you have someone to talk to about your problems after all!

So come one come all! We'll be making noise down in the kitchen 'n sitting area off the lobby! There might even be spillover in the laundry room, who knows. Other units are welcome ta contribute! After all, for Lilis it's a great opportunity ta explore your feelings, and Taisho knows confession has been ritualized for centuries! I'm sure everybody's got plenty ta add ta this Mega-Live! Let's all get some bonding in while stuff's still chill!

((ooc: Top-level to start a "support group" and put the name in the subject line! They do not have to be serious! This is mainly a self-running live though hosts and cohosts may be around, so feel free to go wild jumping threads. Also, making multiple support groups is legit! Please check out the CO-HOSTS TOP-LEVEL if you want to help make this a Megalive or just for additional Live elements you can reference while threading!

Points Tally:

Hosts and Counter-live Hosts: row 1
Unitmates of Hosts or Counter-live Hosts: row 2
Everybody else: row 3))

I WANT TO FIGHT IN EARNEST /calligraphy live

[auguryofinnocence]

[Fine a certain Marnielance is insisting he make his own SO.....here's a man looking very grumpy. Perhaps one might say tsun.

There's another sign: This isn't sparring. If I can't kill something or I'm not in any danger of being killed myself then I don't care at all.

And another, smaller sign: I will make use of Common Law to prevent permanent injury and allow us to fight beyond a well placed stab. No guns.]

[.....Okay. He wants this so much, but.]

Defeats it not the purpose, if neither combatant will be truly able to die?

Re: I WANT TO FIGHT IN EARNEST /calligraphy live

[auguryofinnocence]

No, if you can die too easily it only cuts it short and makes it unsatisfying. If I had my proper body and powers it would be near impossible to die, trying to kill someone else like that is very fun.

It does eliminate the risk entirely in this case, but the extent of the violence that becomes possible more than makes up for it.

Common Law certainly helps the ability to go harder, but it’s still not the same... sadly.

Re: I WANT TO FIGHT IN EARNEST /calligraphy live

[auguryofinnocence]

Well nothing is the same, but it's awfully close. It can't give me all my powers back, but it can offer the impervious part. Which makes quite the difference.

Re: I WANT TO FIGHT IN EARNEST /calligraphy live

[420blazeit]

[ she just walks up and folds her arms. ] I have been trying to get you to do this for aaaages. Also I’ve got Heroes Never Die, so you can keep your Common Law if you want to take this to the extreme.

Re: I WANT TO FIGHT IN EARNEST /calligraphy live

[auguryofinnocence]

You are just self-destructive. There's a difference.

Re: I WANT TO FIGHT IN EARNEST /calligraphy live

[bad_crowmance]

Well, you have my attention.

Re: I WANT TO FIGHT IN EARNEST /calligraphy live

[auguryofinnocence]

One of Phoenix's friends, right? So I assume you know how to fight.

[failedsafe]

[plops a seat down. sup.]

[auguryofinnocence]

...Lily?

Re: I WANT TO FIGHT IN EARNEST /calligraphy live

[worthathousand]

...Interesting.

You're Nero's father, aren't you?

Re: I WANT TO FIGHT IN EARNEST /calligraphy live

[auguryofinnocence]

[...Is it interesting, should he be somehow worried about this.]

I am. And you're something of a parental figure to Shrike...?

Re: I WANT TO FIGHT IN EARNEST /calligraphy live

[rollplayinghouse]

[she blinks as she reads the sign]

...That's one way to do it, I guess. I have always had that problem with sparring... I'm not really used to fighting and not trying to be lethal. Though I've gotten a little better at it.

Re: I WANT TO FIGHT IN EARNEST /calligraphy live

[auguryofinnocence]

It's one thing if you're only learning, but to fight for fun without truly fighting? It doesn't make sense to me.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ . . .

drifts over, quirking an eyebrow. ]

If there's no actual risk of death, doesn't that defeat the purpose? Well, I guess it's impossible to really die here, anyway.

[auguryofinnocence]

It's more inconvenient to die here than anything, so yes it's more so to avoid that or having to involve Sensitiv or Pep. Besides that I for one am hardly able to be killed under normal circumstances, it's only making it closer to the way things should be.

Re: I WANT TO FIGHT IN EARNEST /calligraphy live

[weenwoon]

[Eeeeeh.

Maybe a few days ago Levity would have been perturbed by this, but he's been getting used to everyone's... eccentricities here. And he does have a soft spot for Vergil and how earnest he is about his demon lifestyle.]

Would you like to fight my assistant?

[It's a human height robot bird with lots of sharp edges! You can probably pretend it's a demon, too!]

Re: I WANT TO FIGHT IN EARNEST /calligraphy live

[auguryofinnocence]

Well...mostly it's blood that excites me, but I suppose I still wouldn't turn it down.

[It could at least make him bleed so that's gotta count for something.]

Re: I WANT TO FIGHT IN EARNEST /calligraphy live

[dontcallmethat]

You any good or are you just gonna use stupid powers to cheat?

[Slinging his claymore over his shoulder. He's like 5 foot nothing but his sword is as big as him.]

Re: I WANT TO FIGHT IN EARNEST /calligraphy live

[auguryofinnocence]

[He scoffs.]

I don't cheat. Besides using Common Law to allow us both to fight as long and thoroughly as we wish, I wouldn't dream of using Taisho's powers for combat. That's no way to fight.

Hence, no guns.

Re: I WANT TO FIGHT IN EARNEST /calligraphy live

[gigadevilbreaker]

[>:O]

What's wrong with guns?!

Re: I WANT TO FIGHT IN EARNEST /calligraphy live

[auguryofinnocence]

[.........Well if Nero already hates him now.]

It's underhanded.

Re: I WANT TO FIGHT IN EARNEST /calligraphy live

[beautifulend]

Yeah, yeah, let's go!

Re: I WANT TO FIGHT IN EARNEST /calligraphy live

[mind_blown]

Don't know whether to be chastened or offended.
