Koshka Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Re: WWYCD - The Night of the Dead Arcana doesn't have anyone close to her that would show up, but she wound up with her spellbooks when she helped sort a personal book collection that was being donated to the public library. If Marcus VanDuyker (the eccentric collector whose collection that was) were to show up, it could make for an interesting 12 hours -- hope she's got enough coffee in the house . Falcon ... most likely it would be her late mentor Peregrine. One hour of ladylike (i.e. no profanity, she's Golden Age after all) yelling at Peregrine for being an idiot and not waiting for backup, one hour of Peregrine yelling at her for "going public" (he was a pulp-era vigilante, she's a mainstay of a superhero team with informal government alliances), we've still got 10 hours for Falcon to pick Peregrine's brain about some of the weirder things she's encountered as a superheroine and possible tactics that might work.

ghost-angel Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Re: WWYCD - The Night of the Dead Jessica - would be visited by her husband. They'd spend the time playing penny poker while she talked about her life since his passing. Silence - spent the last 2000 years ushering the dead from the land of the living to their final rest. The whole ordeal wouldn't sit well with her but she'd wait it out. No one would come to visit her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Johnston Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Re: WWYCD - The Night of the Dead Poet: At last a vacation. A whole night with no dead people bothering him because they are all bothering someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiral Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Re: WWYCD - The Night of the Dead Taylor would be visited by her parents and brother that was killed in an anti mutant attack on her home. She still feels guilt over that and blames herself for the attack they was targeting her. She would ask for their forgiveness and tell them about her life now. Raven would be visited by his wife and maybe best friend. Raven also feels that he is responsible for their deaths or that he lived and they didn’t. It is un telling who would visit Savage and he would have a blast with whoever it was most likely take them out drinking or what not.

Kevin Schultz Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Re: WWYCD - The Night of the Dead Jake the Troll would probably be visited by the person he might have been. Jake's a changeling, and as such technically isn't Jake - he was swapped out by faries when he was but a fertalized egg, in the fertility clinic his parents went to. Unfortunately, faries don't know how to take care of fertalized eggs; they're more familiar with live human children. So, while Jake's parents got a troll, the farie side of the equation got...nothing. So, Jake would have to deal with what amounts to the ghost of an unborn child. Jake's Catholic, so he'd probably find this kind of wierd. But he's been able to see into the spirit world for a couple of years now, so it's not like he's completely unused to such things. Shinji Miromoto would probably get the ghost of Yuki, the magical girl that died in a fight he was in. She died due to an accident (gas station + fire-based magical girl), but it was the fight that forced Shinji to flee Japan. Shinji would find this kind of odd, as he has the ability to call up a dark reflection of her spirit anyway; however, that's essentially a 'fingerprint' of her mind the moment she died, as opposed to her actual soul. In the actual conversation, Shinji would ask forgiveness for his actions that led up to her death; he's practicing Buddhist, and is attempting to resolve his kharma. However, he's pretty sure that Yuki would not forgive him, as she was a jerk in life, and he doesn't really expect death to have changed that. Emma Hoffman - maybe a grandparent who died when she was really young, but nothing of any particular interest in terms of story or plot development.

Great Beyond Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Re: WWYCD - The Night of the Dead Glad you are watching Babylon 5. Oh, I've seen B5 - but actually I wasnt thinking of that episode when I hit upon this idea. But yeah, I did kind of lift this note for note, didnt I?

Drhoz Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Re: WWYCD - The Night of the Dead Let's see... Truman Golightly would probably be visited by Mother. Which would probably suprise the the rest of The Edge, since he goes on about her enough to imply she's still alive. As opposed, to, for example, sitting mummified in the old house near the motel. Truman would probably spend most of the night babbling that he didn't mean to be a bad boy, or become a superhero, and please don't put knitting needles in my ears, Mommy. Vitus ... poor Vitus... a dead universe behind him, and his path strewn with the bodies of everybody that trusted him and gave their lives to keep him alive. Vitus might be unbelievably arrogant (as Purrdence puts it, "Vitus could run a Pride March of one") but there was more then enough well-buried survivor guilt in his psychology even before he seemed responsible for erasing his homeworld's timeline. Vitus would probably be visited by one of his old comrades... and fry under the weight of their accusing gaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
