Pokemon Umbral Theatre 23: How Nostalgic...

Astral Harmony · 04-18-2011, 04:29 AM

Posting in the RP thread feels so strange. It's like I had done it a long time ago...how mysterious...

I'm trying to resolve a small issue with Menarker regarding the pictures, so here's a strange video in the meantime.

Misty Is An Idiot

Jigglypuff is a danger to society.

Sorry if the post doesn't exactly match up with everything else. I tried really hard and it took a lot of time, but no amount of time can create perfection.

Sent you a PM. Hopefully that'll fix things a bit.

Anyhow, the post was neat. ^^

Only thing I would remark is that Matthias is completely forgotten... again. :3 Like seriously, someone should revive the guy already! (Kirie was also forgotten too but she's an brawler type NPC, so she probably wouldn't have contributed to very much, although she might have had some insight from her interactions with the other Kimonos.) *Shrugs*

Quite an unfortunate characteristic for a PC! Totally like wallpaper, and not exciting one at that! (No offense to your character Dante, but it's just a running gag that has been going on, even outside of canon, like the first sprite comic where you were not listed in the list of guys.)

Also, Honmyrr's currencies are weirdly diverse. Renny being paid in Poke-dollars, Cyril saying that Burkmont wouldn't pay a single Yen for her safety and such. :3 Not that that's bad (and it fit given how the yen is worth less than the dollar and Burkmont wouldn't even pay the tiniest amount) but it was just unusual to note. ^^

I have a theory in the back of my head that the Chroma imprints on the first person that finds it (Elliot in this case) since it would be odd for it to respond to only him from the start, especially if it was around before Elliot was ever born.
Of course, if such an idea is true, it would make me wonder if there are more undiscovered Chroma which could find new imprints (motivation for those who would use them for dark purposes) or if they are all linked together like a hive mind of sort...

Picture time. Sorry for not including you in the post, Dante.

The theme of these pictures is...! ...Eh, I don't friggin' know, just look at 'em and laugh or whatever.

Dracorion · 04-18-2011, 12:52 PM

Hm.

Chroma and Primal Exist are supposed to be different people, right?

Menarker · 04-18-2011, 12:57 PM

I wonder about that too.

I think of Chroma as some sort of artifact McGuffin like a gem which atunes to and empowers things but otherwise isn't sentient, while Primal Exist is like a sentient program.

Dracorion · 04-18-2011, 01:00 PM

Or AB just forgot Primal Exist's name and thought she was called Chroma.

Astral Harmony · 04-18-2011, 01:04 PM

I decided to give Primal Exist a real name.

Hopefully it doesn't create a plothole, though I probably wouldn't be surprised if it did.

Just goes to show my inexperience as a GM.

Menarker · 04-18-2011, 01:06 PM

*Shrug* Well, it's not like different people can't have different names and concepts for the same thing, especially when the thing in question is incredibly legendary, powerful and perhaps misunderstood. ^^

Dracorion · 04-18-2011, 01:10 PM

Well it creates a plot hole inasmuch as no one's said "Oh, by the way, Primal Exist's real name is Chroma" and everyone is asking like they know who Mio is talking about.

Also, I was right on the money.

Astral Harmony · 04-18-2011, 01:37 PM

The way you put it makes me want to reveal it in the RP exactly the same way from an unrelated source...

Shannon: "So I don't really get it. How are Primal Exist and Chroma related? They seem to do the exact same thing."
Homeless Guy: "Oh, by the way, Primal Exist's real name is Chroma."
Shannon: "Wowzers, he did it again!"

...

*write write write*

I love running gags.
