NOXIGAR: I got my ass firmly grabbed by Stephanie Young when I got gassed by her cat, Shotgun Ice.

Deliberately terrible phrasing the likes of which is to incite your response. Thank you, StroHersh. Noxigar 20:00, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

CAT GRAAB ASS SHOITGUN ICE

WHO AM I FloppyDongHersh Bensfloppydong.png

You're a guy who managed to make my eyes bleed with that sig of yours, spewing out words from a transcript of which makes sense exclusively in the context I positioned it in. :3c Noxigar 20:10, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
noxi
Why do you have to use such big strange words
it's lame Brerose 20:12, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
How lame? My words really aren't that terribly big. Noxigar 20:13, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
it's not even that you're using big words, it's that you use them in ways which just sound stunted and dumb like no human being would ever say
ALSO SHOTFGIN FUCKING CICE WHAT ARE YOU YOU PISSER FloppyDongHersh Bensfloppydong.png
Stunted? I do declare, that calling a cat Shotgun Ice has no bearing on anything which concerns the plot of Wikihood outside of a good ol' fashioned romp. Also what the devilshagging dickens are you babbling on about, Sir Strong Intelligent? >;3c Noxigar 20:19, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
pretty sure you just proved sirrus's point but whatever okay cool. have a nice day SSADSSHOTGUNN IOCE WHY WHY WHY I AM CRYING IRL AND IG FloppyDongHersh Bensfloppydong.png

No seriously this is the best pandemonium I've constructed since I riffed the Choom Gang. This chaos is so delicious it makes me wonder what laudinum tastes like. :o) Noxigar 20:27, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

no

one episode at a time dammit

it's hard enough to slack off and not contribute to one episode

but two

that might just be the straw that breaks my back Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 22:00, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

I only wanted to write the beginning to make the episode flow optimally. I will wait for Episode 10 to finish before doing anything else. Noxigar 22:01, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

wait

in episode 9, rosenberg distinctly mentioned that he had contacts with the sea hitman and even considered hiring her just in the case where a rogue vindicator becomes a problem for him, implying that the two

but in this episode, the sea hitman seems to be otherwise, actually being actively against him and quite vocally too

not sure if this was intended or not but i thought i should point it out Lex 00:57, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

It's on purpose. Also Oceanna's just one of mutliple people in the Sea Hitman's Underwater Disco Palace, and someone who isn't working with Rosenberg.
Because of how awful Arceus Emails is, I might give Oceanna some teammates who are reflective of people from that show just to make more people be in that faction for development purposes. Noxigar 00:59, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Ah, alright then. Just making sure! ^^ Lex 01:03, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

also

i know we haven't even finished episode 10 but i'm writing out a plot outline for this episode as it's gonna be part of the main plot and we need some guidance on what we're doing, i think you all will be very pleased with what i have to offer :3c Lex 01:23, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

I don't think you know what sorts of unimaginable power I am capable of Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 01:30, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
what does that mean Lex 01:33, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
I think I was trying to seem unimpressed by what you my have to offer but after a certain point I just turned it into a dick-waving contest Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 01:38, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
man you were all over my dick during the skype chat and this is basically an extension of that shit you'll love this Lex 01:43, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
yeah, that's why I made all of the points that actually moved the discussion along, because you were the star Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 01:48, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
god joe, you really are tsundere today aren't you Lex 01:57, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
tsundere is my maiden name Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 01:58, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
I like tsunderes and yanderes. Noxigar 01:58, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
I'm starting to think Ventin is less yandere and more bipolar psychotic bitch Brerose 02:01, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
I look forward to seeing what is up for Episode 10, but am otherwise just hoping this doesn't turn into a dick-waving contest due to how Wikihood Redux: the Remake turned out. Noxigar 01:41, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

well whatever dudes

this is like a general and simple plot outline for this episode which you are all free to comment and make adjustments upon

  • After the surprise kidnapping of Episode 10, the Wikihood crew all wake up in the dining room of an incredibly prestigious 1940s-style manor, much like the glamorous estates that the old hollywood stars used to live in. As they come to, the crew realize that not only are they heavily restrained to the chairs that they're in, but each of them have some kind of metal collar on their neck.
  • Through the main doorway of the dining room come a group of robot waiters, who serve each individual Wikihood member with their favorite meal. The choices are quite accurate, except for Remolay, who Rosenberg actually doesn't know much about, who gets dinosaur chicken nuggets and fries.
  • After the dinner is served, two more figures come through the doorway. Stephanie, and Rosenberg, who's using a robot with a monitor as an avatar so that he may communicate with them in real time.
  • After greeting the group once again, Rosenberg mentions that instead of meeting them all in his workplace, he decided to make this meeting more casual by gathering them all in his old luxury estate in Phoenixshire, trying to defuse any awkwardness by making the atmosphere more easygoing.
  • Rosenberg explains the situation of Midway to the Wikihood crew, and tells them that he needs their help in achieving his goal to restore Midway to full power, therefore extending his influence further.
  • The crew, understandably, refuse, saying that they want no part in this and plead that he and D'Arque just leave them alone to live their lives.
  • Rosenberg responds by telling them all that he understands their plight and that he really didn't want to go to such lengths in order to get them on board. He then offers them everything they could possibly desire and how he and his benefactors could make it worthwhile to them, finally managing to tempt them.
  • "But what if we still refuse?" says one particularly stubborn individual. Rosenberg then notes that they might try and double-cross him, or just outright refuse. He alerts them to the fact that the collars allow him to keep a constant monitoring of their situation, while also mentioning that they are highly explosive and can either be detonated remotely or go off automatically if they go past a certain radius.
  • After (more understandable) protest from the group, Rosenberg apologizes that it had to be this way and that their completion of the task will guarantee their safety. Basically, he has forced their hand, without the potential of any funny business.
  • Rosenberg explains their mission as this. Back during the time where he was more active in his technological persuits, the main centre of industry just happened to be Bluehaven, before it became such a shithole. As such, one of his bases of operations just happens to be in there. He tells them that the one of the former sources of power for Midway used to be located in the "Apollo Solar Energy Plant", which has now been abandoned and left in a state of decay.
  • He preposes that although Midway now gets its energy from a different source, reactivating the old power plant while having the newer one still in commission will boost the overall power of Midway City to 170%, extending his influence along the power grid farther than it ever has been before.
  • The crew are sent to Bluehaven via helicopter ride, where they're each given some kind of weapon to defend themselves with just in case they get into some kind of nasty business.
  • So through the city, the crew manage to make their way inside of the solar plant compound, which (SURPRISE) has become a hub for a gang of junkies.
  • STEALTHY SHENANIGANS
  • After managing to get through the compound undetected, they finally manage to find their way into the main computer base, where they are successful in turning the energy tower back on and rerouting the power back to Midway City.
  • On the way back, some kind of stupid shit happens which totally attracts the attentions of the violent junkie gang
  • PEW PEW PEW, through some stuff or somewhat or whatever the fuck idek, they manage to fight their way out of the power plant with little damage to their bodies or their dignity.
  • Back at the Phoenixshire Manor, Rosenberg congratulates them on a job well done and tells them that he knew they could do it. For the completion of the task, Rosenberg upholds the promise by giving the money back in full that they owed him in the first place, while telling them that there is more where that came from if they continue to assist him further. He also mentions that the explosive collars around their necks were in fact a joke and that they really were in no danger at all.
  • After realising Rosenberg's genuineity in regards to their bounty and the potential this brings, the crew finally decide to ally with him fully in order to develop Midway even further.
  • As part of the celebration of his new power grasp, Rosenberg calls for a celebration through an over-extravagant parade around Midway City, showing the world that "ROSENBERG IS BACK, BABY."
  • End 'Sode.

basically something like that, give or take a few things, like the whole junkie gang thing, i was a bit unsure about that so if you have something better.... yeah

Lex 02:03, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

would Rosenberg already known about the twins? Brerose 02:04, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Hm, probably not. But he'd still be prepared for any new people, so it's not far off. Lex 02:07, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
I don't like the collars, or the brick joke therein, but otherwise I would be content with this outline if we did it in this exact fashion.
Also we should give Remolay an equally-satisfying treat since otherwise it makes Rosenberg look like an ass. Remolay's a Drow, so maybe some fresh venison and then many earthy vegetables to go with the venison? Noxigar 05:10, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Well the thing about the collars is that it's another one of Rosenberg's asshole jokes, but at the same time he's using them to install fear so that they'll do what he wants. Because otherwise, what exactly would be stopping the crew from just leaving? By making them think that their life is on the line, he's practically forced their hand. Get what I mean?
And as for Remolay, the whole point is that Rosenberg is a total ass, due to his tactics in the first place, that, along with the fact that Remolay is the unlucky one is just another gag, imo. Lex 05:15, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Aren't they already restrained to their chairs? All Rosenberg would have to do is say "Nope, I'm just going to keep you in the chairs until you do as I say" and be a nuisance like always.
Remolay being unlucky really isn't funny. Noxigar 05:17, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
He could do that. But really, there's not much tension in that. He's not the one for wasting time like that anyway, and he has no tolerance for dilly-dallying. Putting them in a situation of tension and... despair is much more in character for him. You have to remember that he is equally as ruthless as D'Arque in the long run, after all.
Thing is though, it's been a consistent part of his character. Whether it's the fact that he can't hold down jobs, or the fact that one job ended up with him having a gun pulled on him. He's simply an unlucky guy, and this is just another time where he's been unlucky. The fact that he doesn't really complain about it is a testament of his good personality and such.

Oceanna Blowing up the Rosenberg Estate

Lex 06:01, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Believe me, I've got more wild wrenches in store. Noxigar 06:03, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
i still have no idea what wild wrenches are :c Lex 06:05, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
A wild wrench is simply me seemingly disregarding carefully-maintained plans in favor of just tossing a projectile randomly at the plans and instead going for something a bit less derailable. What I'm really doing, though, is advancing the plot in such a fashion that it's more convenient to write in, at least for me. The "wild wrench" is also a tactic I employ in games where I essentially behave in an unpredictable fashion so as to make it interesting. Noxigar 06:16, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Ahhh. You should probably talk this stuff out so we have an idea of what's going on though :C Lex 06:36, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
I will talk later stuff out, no worries. If I wasn't so sleepy I'd probably have done so for this wild wrench. Noxigar 12:40, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

a few notes

first off

ventin's favorite meal is totally raw steak so this is a pretty good match, depending if it's cooked, and Sirrus wouldn't mind it raw or cooked.

second, ahem, this will be a bit long, here is how Ventin and Sirrus use their magic.

Ventin's arm is bandaged because it is heavily scarred from many years of cutting, to the point that the nerves are dead and she no longer feels it. This is how she gets the blood for her magic, and her allegiance to Shezmu prevents any bad side effects from this.

Sirrus is mostly a booster, of sorts. He can use the fact that they are twins to not only boost the power of Ventin when she uses her blood, but also to gain power off of her for magic. This would be reversed if Sirrus is the one bleeding.

Sirrus is not against actually holding her wrist to max the boost, if needed.

<3 Brerose 18:23, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

also you totally nailed ventin
I MEAN HER PERSONALITY...
STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT YOU SICK FUCK Brerose 20:05, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
i'll think she'll have fun during any fight scenes that happen :D Lex 20:07, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
i think she'll kill the most thugs out of anyone in this scene
or any other scene really Brerose 20:08, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Lex's solo episode will probably have people getting killed. But I'm glad we're gonna get into a little bit of action now, yee-haw. Lex 20:10, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

i don't think there is anything else I can do to this except edit Sirrus dialogue for speech checks Brerose 21:59, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

I'm going out in a minute, when I come back I'll add more onto this Lex 22:00, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
did you have fun
anyways YOU ARE GROUNDED NOW.
get back to work, swabby Brerose 23:51, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
As long as Noxigar gets some ice cream in Bluehaven I don't really mind what goes on here. Noxigar 16:51, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
Despite all the awfulness and danger of Bluehaven, its icecream is to die for! :D Lex 17:35, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
Well I guess I'll just have Oceanna take Noxigar to her house in Bluehaven so they can have the ice cream proper there. Noxigar 01:01, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
i was actually making an edit before you threw that goddamn wrench >: Lex 01:08, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
Oh well. I shall take advantage of my pre-emptive strike to continue brainstorming Oceanna's character depth outside of showing proficiency in French. Noxigar 01:09, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
thing is though, blowing up the estate interferes with future plans and it's just.. SHIGGY DIGGY Lex 01:13, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
She's not going to actually blow it up. I actually had planned for Oceanna to beat the stuffing out of Stephanie, but other than that no actual harm being done. Noxigar 01:21, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
by that we mean "stop throwing wild wrenches and just communicate your ideas with us" Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 01:23, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Okay.

Oceanna's already picked Noxigar up and is heading to Bluehaven. I decide to continue with the worldbuilding while getting them some ice cream and establishing further developments on the Sea Hitman's Underwater Disco Palace, up to and including communication with other assassins like Quigley Garzel, and more than likely she will be speaking to them in French. Meanwhile, nothing else really happens since I will be watching a Super Mario: the Lost Levels race again because Psychedelic Eyeball is amazing.

If you'd like, I could pit Oceanna and Stephanie Young against each other to display their combat skills. Noxigar 01:25, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

>Quigley
>alright
>Garzel
>no
References are okay, but bad or unnecessary references are not. Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 01:27, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
Quigley Oakwood would be his name otherwise. Noxigar 01:28, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
That name sounds a lot cooler IMO Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 01:30, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

I have neither read nor contributed to a single kilobyte of this and I can almost guarantee that this'll need to be rewritten

Because I love shitting in your guys' oatmeal

seriously doe stop making episodes so fast this isn't healthy and the fact that I haven't contributed fully to an active episode makes me feel like a fat sack of crap :smith: Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 05:49, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

if you cut out Sirrus and Ventin's massacre
i'll slaughter you Brerose 05:51, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
actually this was probably one of the episodes that turned out the best imo and while it probably still needs a few bits of dusting off, i don't think it would be major. Not to the extent of 10 or even 9 at least
also get on our level you whore Lex 05:52, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
I have not and never will promise anything regarding what I do when I take in an episode to edit it Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 06:02, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
in all seriousness doe your edits are actually productive so i'm confident that you won't ruin the natural order 8) Lex 06:04, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
you have no idea what sheer destructive power I am capable of in the field of creative writing, Lex Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 06:05, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
oh man i have more than an idea, i was a firsthand witness to adel and the muffin of doom okay Lex 06:09, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
and with the unchecked fury I've built up from not editing episodes I'm just ready to go on a writing rampage Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 06:12, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
Then get to work!
If you do extra good, you get a cookie. ANY TYPE OF COOKIE. except oatmeal raisin, we're out Brerose 06:14, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
if you ever had any impact on my actions then you probably wouldn't have left 4 years ago Artisan of TortureThey call me Big T BLOODArtisan of Torture 06:22, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
but didn't I leave in 2011 that was like 2 years ago Brerose 06:24, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
i think he's implying that he would have impulsively banned you permanently while crushing anyone who tried to stop him Lex 06:39, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
that was my first plan when you modded me but i realized I loved you guys too much <3 Brerose 06:43, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
we all know how that went last time Lex 06:43, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Hmm... okay. I can see how my contribution to the progression of episodes may be too speedy. Also it's a good thing I hate oatmeal and only like oatmeal cookies Noxigar 16:28, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Wild Wrench #1

I was hoping to have Oceanna meddle in this. While the Sea Hitman's Underwater Disco Palace would likely find her meddling via rescue of Noxigar and bringing him to her house in Bluehaven somewhat irrational, she times it in a manner where it doesn't really interfere with anything Rosenberg would've wanted them to do. Honestly I forgot why Quigley Oakwood, one of her assassin assistants, would have had conflict with it other than their boss likely scolding them for rash actions. At any rate, it would be a way to explore Bluehaven and see if Noxigar encounters the Glabal MC again or if he winds up finding Bluehaven to be unpleasant. So far in our narrative we only really have Chaos' opinion and maybe Lex's, with Noxigar either agreeing with them to disagree or otherwise being nonchalant about Bluehaven in general.

(It'd also be a good way to introduce the Sea Hitman's Underwater Coney Island Disco Palace outside of just Oceanna and Quigley) Noxigar 02:59, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

THIS WORKS. THIS WORKS A LOT. THANK YOU AND BLESS YOU FOR EXPLAINING
BLESS YOU Lex 03:01, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
Note-to-self: ready the Koopa Football Players once I explain the Wild Wrenches (since the Wild Wrenches are my plays, the Koopa Football Players essentially enact my Wild Wrench schemes almost to the precision needed for the characterization to not feel wooden - also I hallucinate these Koopa Football Players since I cannot seem to guarantee the Miami Dolphins or the Baltimore Ravens will win every game this season)/ Noxigar 03:04, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
