Pokemon Umbral Theatre 23: How Nostalgic... - Page 6

I said drastically, not completely. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense as opposed to another character. There still need some sort of shred of identity to them to make the omakes work. Also, it doesn't work for every character (at least not all the time)

EDIT: I notice a distinct lack of suspcious pauses and such in Impact's speech when AB controls him. :3 Although this may be because he's in his element as a soldier as opposed to trying to chat up with people.

Not that I'm complaining! Just found it interesting. ^^

Yeah, I feel like I'm playing Impact as a male, less subtle version of Rayleen.

Cyril: "You're gonna let me go, right?"
Impact: "Sure, except only Judo Abortion!"

Gem said he likes what you're doing with Impact.

Quote:

I'm sorry, have you seen how AB is treating Impact? He is getting so much development, I don't even. He is doing all the shit I wish I could have done, but couldn't, cause I'm not DM. AB, on the other hand, is

Obviously, this means now you have to do the exact opposite.

Also, why do I get the feeling Cyril is going to become a member of the PATCA cast?

Or at least make more appearances.

Perhaps because it would be dramatic to have all the neglected and abused sons/daughters of Burkmont join our side as a form of karmic revenge?

And Happy Birthday to Bard!

Dracorion · 04-25-2011, 09:48 AM

Hey.

Hey Bard.

Hey, fuck you.

AB, a question here for the sake of in-story context/depth.

Does PATCA pays well? You know, enough to get a decent living and benefits, pay for food, housing and some personal luxuries? Do some of those things get subsidies or so, since the employees are effectively soldiers and trained experts risking their lives and such? Also, are they paid regular salaries where they have duties even outside of specific missions or is it unreliable part time job where they are only paid on the basis of each mission

I was just wondering because Moon has a business on the side (extra job) and several of the other characters either were already wealthy or had jobs or professions before joining PATCA, hence I was wondering if working for PATCA alone is enough to pay the bills. I thought it might be an interesting thought regarding how the PCs and NPCs operate, especially outside of PATCA missions.

>_> It was along this line of thinking (and recalling that Evangaleen uses Moon's business to upgrade her vibrator) that I had some weird ideas crop up in my head regarding their professions.

*A loud persistant ringing noise is heard in the medical ward and Lola picks it up*
Lola: Hello?
Harliette: You gotta help me sis! *Her voice is a strained sort of distress*
*Lola responds with deep concern*
Lola: Harliette, what's wrong?
Harliette: I need you to come over to help with a... medical situation!
Lola: Ok, I'm coming over... but why not call an ambulance?
Harliette: ... Because I don't want anyone to see this...
Lola: *Her voice becomes darker and not so pleasant* ... Explain. Now.
Harliette: My idiot boyfriend Mouse mistook his container of super adhesive for personal lubricant. I can't leave the house stuck to him naked and I don't want strangers to see this either! It's fucking embarressing and the moron is still on Jenny's shit list!!!
Lola: ... why did you choose to date him again?
Harliette: It certainly wasn't for his brains! Probably why DICKHEAD HERE is on her list in the first place! *Lola overhears the two of them explode into an argument as she hangs up and head-desks.*

EDIT: Alternatively, Lola starts daydreaming if she was stuck in a similar mess, perpetually attached to a lover, forgetting the not so romantic parts like the obvious pains and difficulties of getting out of the sticky situation!

... Yeah.
Excuse me if I misportrayed Mouse. I kinda envisioned him as the someone a bit rougher around the edges, too much testosterone and hates thinking unless it's about a topic that motivates him.

Dracorion · 04-25-2011, 01:26 PM

Holy shit!

Holy shit!

Menarker spelled Harliette's name right!

Hold the presses!

Astral Harmony · 04-25-2011, 02:48 PM

PATCA pays plenty well. Assuming your character isn't the kind of person who lives paycheck to paycheck ("Fuck yeah, I'm supersizing everything!"), getting a decent apartment or even buying a house (you can live in the PATCA building, after all, saving up lotsa money) isn't farfetched at all.

Just don't expect to have a mansion like Thugnificent anytime soon.

Although I'm inclined to believe that Renny will turn out exactly like that.

Mouse looks like your typical bad boy, but he's kind and intelligent and polite and is genuinely in love with Harliette...

Which is why I can't wait to see how it turns when he discovers the new relationship Harliette has with Melanie.

Dracorion · 04-25-2011, 02:54 PM

Ghkkkttt.

Now I'm torn between my curiosity to know the details and the fact that I know those details will scar me for life.

Astral Harmony · 04-25-2011, 03:11 PM

Then allow me to scar you even more...

Harliette isn't the only one.
