Scoping out interest for potentialy mini plotting opportunities.

[relictusdeus]

Hi there -- it's Mon, player of Isaac and Little Mac. I've come up with a few ideas anyone is welcome to get in on and I've decided to share them here where more can see them. As the subject line suggests, it's nothing huge but could open the door for fun future interactions. 

• Those passing through the forest might come across the bodies of small woodland creatures that, on close inspection, happen to be missing their hearts. While this is the work of one of Isaac's devils refueling their energy, it'd be amusing if this was taken to be a sign that some terrible thing is living in the woods other than Isaac. This isn't a one-shot occurrence, so this can happen at any time all throughout the year.

• No one wants to find a 'spiderpede' in their shoes or on the lid of their toilet, but one never knows where Isaac's chimera/forged creatures end up after he releases them. Stumbling across other creatures of that sort is good with me!

• By way of using his scrying ball as a surveillance camera and teleporting in and out quickly whenever he thinks he can get away with it, Isaac is hoping to stealthily drop off one bottle of his early samples of experimental spirits at Good Spirits and the nightclub. (To the staff of either establishment, please let me know if this is okay!) If this can happen, then have some deets: the unlabeled flask of amberish liquid (which he calls Devil's Piss) has a decorative black snake winding around it, its two fangs fitting into the cork and securing it. To open, unhinge the snake's upper jaw and then pop the cork as normal. If it ends up being tasted, note that it's mildly sweet, has kick, has cinnamon-y notes, and has a burn to it that builds and can make noses run something fierce - it all blends well and goes smooth down the throat, though. To those sensitive to magic especially, a liiiiiiittle bit of Isaac's demonic magic in there results in more of a buzz. How strong is up to you, although for those weak to dark magic it might have an almost-caustic bite. 'cause that'd suck.

ANYWAY! For questions, comments, and other details, feel free to PM me or just comment here. Thanks!

I just like to say.... Mew (this little guy) lives in the forest. Mew is pretty good at stalking people/pokemon/anyone. I'm up for anything with Mew for this. It can witness what Issac is doing to Issac interacting with Mew. Be warned though, when Mew sees what Issac has done to the critters, it's going to try and keep it's presence clear.

[relictusdeus]

Hi! Thanks for the poke.

Isaac's devils/familiars act on their own (so they won’t always be close to Isaac) and they absorb hearts infrequently outside of drafts, so it's more the odd corpse than it is a pile of creatures. I'm not quite sure what sort of interaction you're looking for with Mew but I'd like to hash it out with you so we're both on the same page.

[ballofpinklight]

Hey, it's all good! I'm not familiar with Issac's canon so I do apologize in advance.

Ah, okay. Pretty much with Mew, it's a Psychic type. If anything, it's pretty good at sensing disturbance force, especially if it's another psychic type. So I'm not sure what the familiars would give off. If the familiars are looking for critters, they can attempt to get Mew's?

[relictusdeus]

I admit I'm kinda canonblind with Pokemon, only knowing the first gen stuff, haha.

I see the familiars strategically going for what they already recognize as easy prey. They might be curious about Mew since it's their job to keep track of what might be a potential threat around them, but unless Mew acts in a way they consider remotely aggressive then the creatures will mind their business.

As to what devils give off, I'd say some life energy, like most living things would have, but also a bit of dark/demonic vibes as well.

[ballofpinklight]

Mew is first gen!

The only time Mew will act aggressive is when it's life is on the line. If anyone or anything is trying to catch Mew, Mew will try to avoid and eventually flee. Mew is no fighter.

Well, mostly Mew will be curious the most to see what they're up to as well.

As bartender of HQ, Ginia's going to stare at that bottle and debate drinking it!

HOW DOES IT TASTE

If that happens and if you're ok with the idea of him possibly being able to see that while boredly spying on his scrying ball (only with permission, of course!), he'd be like... honestly, that could have been some kind of sweet-smelling caustic poison. GOSH. He'd love to hear a review. :P

[whiskytraitorfirefight]

LIKE SWEET SWEET DEATH

No, she's going to eyeball it for awhile and try to figure out if it's a real drink before probably taking it to one of the clinics to see if it can be tested for poison. He's definitely welcome to see the proceedings though.

...Though if it's determined it's not a poison, she'll take a shot.

[relictusdeus]

If magic and mischief be something you wish, then throw back your flask and drink Devil's Piss /shot

Sweet! (no pun intended) Ever-careful and awesome. Making this sort of shit keeps him a little busier, at least!

[whiskytraitorfirefight]

Though given she recently saw Isaac reform his clothing via black snake and it seems up his alley, Ginia might contact him later to see if he had anything to do with it.

...And say if he wants to make more spirits, he's welcome to and she'll try them out.

[relictusdeus]

Ah, that's right.

Spirits, now with actual spirits inside! :P

Sokka will be out in the woods every once in a while, usually on the hunt for fresh game. I imagine he might find an already dead critter every once in a while! Poor wasted meat!

Sokka isn't psychic though, but he is incredibly curious.

[relictusdeus]

Hehe, okiedoke! Find away~!
