Make My Characters Talk To Each Other

[Alicorn]

Dogs narrator: "Wow, how long did it take to work out a code they could use without breaking character?"

Milo: "...Breaking character?"

Dogs narrator: "Yeah, like, it would kind of break the immersion if people modding cats used computer input or whatever while they were on the job."

Milo: "...ah. Cath isn't pretending to be a cat; she is one."

Dogs narrator: *look of horror*

Cath: meow

Milo: "Now she is an offended cat."

Dogs narrator: "I - I don't understand."

Milo: "Cats, at least the cats I'm used to, are just as much people as humans are but not naturally comprehensible to them without a specialized form of translation that works for a maximum of one human per cat."

Dogs narrator: "…Oh. Oh okay."

Milo: "It can lead to some unfortunate misunderstandings when there aren't any translation-capable humans around."

Dogs narrator: "…Would computer input systems help."

Milo: "Possibly. What do you mean by that exactly?"

Dogs narrator: *explains standard ways for modded people to communicate without functioning vocal apparatus*

Milo: *takes fascinated notes*

Iron Man: *wary staring*

Loki: "…Is something wrong?"

Iron Man: "Well, that depends. Are you by any chance a world-conquering maniac?"

Loki: "No. Did someone put a 'world-conquering maniac' sign on my back?"

Iron Man: "Okay, my next guess was going to be that you're cosplaying a world-conquering maniac but if you don't know what I'm talking about then that one's out too."

Loki: "This is just my ordinary armor."

Iron Man: "... Asgardian, by any chance?"

Loki: "Yes."

Iron Man: "Aaaand we're back to the world-conquering maniac theory, that was quick. I'm open to being convinced, as long as you don't try mind control, it didn't work out for the other one either."

Loki: "As long as I don't excuse me?"

Iron Man: "So a while back in my world we had this guy named Loki who looks a lot like you and dresses exactly like you try to conquer the planet Earth using some kind of magical spear of brainwashing and a portal to a dimension full of alien minions."

Loki: "…It's not going to help if I tell you my name. But that's very far from my style."

Iron Man: "Uh-huh. The magical spear of brainwashing doesn't work on me, incidentally."

Loki: "I don't have a magical spear of brainwashing, nor would I want one."

Iron Man: "Well, then, I guess you won't be trying to magically brainwash me with it."

Loki: "Indeed not."

---------

trouble declines to partake in this conversation out of concerns about his current place in the ceno timeline, apparently. he's like "at the last point my character left off, there is no way I would be hanging out with some person who wants to comment on how well I cat"

------------

it is likely that Slayer Bella will actually appear in Black Friday continuity, so we're going to hold off until that happens.

-------------

Steve: *wary look*

Loki: "…If someone did put a 'world-conquering maniac' sign on my back I'm going to be very annoyed with them."

Steve: "Hm? No, ma'am."

Loki: "Good."

Steve: "..." trying to figure out how to ask about this hypothetical sign, failing*

Loki: "…The other person who looked at me like that told me that I share a fashion sense with someone who, by reputation alone, would not require signage."

Steve: "That's... one way of putting it."

Loki: "I am not a world-conquering maniac. In case you were wondering. And I do not have a magical mind control spear."

Steve: "All right, then. Sorry to bother you."

------------

Loki: "…where did you get that hammer?"

Darcy: "...It's kind of a long story. Where'd you get that outfit?"

Loki: "Royal armorer."

Darcy: "Oh boy..."

Loki: "…I am not a world-conquering maniac and I don't have a mind-control spear. If, by some chance, this had crossed your mind."

Darcy: "It kind of did a little bit yeah."

Loki: "It keeps happening. I may have to change clothes."

Darcy: "That might help. You've also got kind of this, I don't know, vibe going. It's hard to explain."

Loki: "That, I am not sure I can simply exchange for different colors and less leather."

Darcy: "If you start dressing Midgardian for some reason, I recommend going very casual and staying away from green. I'm not qualified to give Asgardian fashion advice but I think the part about staying away from green still applies."

Loki: "Pity. It's my favorite color."

Darcy: "Blame my world's Loki for ruining it for you."

Loki: "Surely the last in the list of grievances."

Darcy: "He also has terrible hair. I mean, if you were looking for even more trivial grievances than that one."

Loki: "I accept your revision to the list."

Darcy: *grin*

---------

I think we already did Cooper & Steve.

[DanielH]

Alicorn/Kappa
(pre-Luminosity) Dr. Carlisle Cullen and Dr. Miroslav Hall, because both are doctors who must hide their extra abilities when those abilities could help

Alicorn:
@stitchybat and Lady Clara
@stitchybat and Linly

[rockeye_stonetoe]

Alicorn: Rapunzel and T'mir. (selected randomly)

[MaggieoftheOwls]

T'Mir and Elspeth because they are both half-human

[Alicorn]

Apparently Dr. Hall doesn't want to talk to people.

--------

@stitchybat: "Well, I don't see why you shouldn't have dogs if you want them."

Lady Clara: "I could have lived without your approval."

---------

Linly: "Oh no! Oh no you have to let them all go immediately after having them all neutered."

@stitchybat: "Now this is interestingly incoherent. You want them free but not free enough to not be neutered? I assure you they'd object."

Linly: "The world isn't good enough for pixies to live in, so you can't let them make more if you can avoid it but you don't need to make their lives worse!"

@stitchybat: "I'm just. Going to ignore you."

--------

T'Mir: "Your hair looks inconvenient."

Rapunzel: "It's better than it looks. And it has magical healing power."

T'Mir: "Nice."

Rapunzel: "You've done so much more without any magic!"

T'Mir: "But with a highly developed post-scarcity society."

----------

T'Mir: "I think you're getting more good out of your non-human half than I am."

Elspeth: "Arguably. But you don't have to sleep very much and I needed magic to get off a very rigid schedule."

T'Mir: "That would be annoying."

[Atelos]

I'd like to see the Lone Power/Kyuubey, originator of entropy and evil ostensible foe of entropy, but probably they're too undefined/NPCish for this.

[Alicorn]

Kyubey is too goal-oriented to have a conversation with Iggy. I might be able to swing it if you want him to talk to a teenage girl.

ETA: We got them to do this:

Pyth (Kappabeta)
yeah. and i mean iggy could pretend to be a teenage girl to taunt him, but that's getting into sandbox territory at that poing XD

Alicorn
yup

Pyth (Kappabeta)
iggy would, however, like to go on record as saying that while many believe he causes untold suffering in his world, It Could Be Worse [points meaningfully at Kyubey]

Alicorn
kyubey would like to point out that he is rescuing large numbers of civilized creatures from an energy deficit and all the teenage girls were volunteers

Pyth (Kappabeta)
iggy would like to point out that at least when he tricks people into making bad bargains for his personal gain, he does so under the public reputation of the Prince of Lies

Alicorn
kyubey wishes to make it very clear that he always delivers on the terms of a wish

Pyth (Kappabeta)
iggy has no particular reason to disbelieve that but contests its relevance, considering what kyubey habitually doesn't tell the girls

[DanielH]

I find it interesting that they were both trying to justify that they weren’t The Worst.

Gem and Meea

[Kappa]

Iggy is pretty image-conscious!

[DanielH]

I need to start reading the Young Wizards series at some point. My bottleneck is that I can’t find a list of what has actually changed between the new and old versions of So You Want to Be a Wizard?, which is something I would really like to know. It’s supposed to be minor, but then the summary includes things like making the timeline more consistent.
