THE TIME WARP AGAIN, ETC

HELLO I COME BEARING PLOT. This plot is going to be primarily player run, and as widespread or as narrow focused as you like. It could easily involve the whole game or just a few people. It is optional, but radical.

The idea: TIME TRAVEL.

The structure of this time travel plot will be thus:

PART ONE
Ten years in the future of CH, there has been a Bad End. For those unfamiliar, this means that everything has gone to SHIT through some means or another, and is tonally a post apocalyptic world of tomorrow. The nature of this “apocalypse” will depend on player plotting, and the people who want to step up to be bad guys. Has someone risen up to become an evil cyborg overlord? Have Alternians taken over the planet? Has TRIDENT taken over CONDOR? These are the questions that we must answer.

Everyone who wants in will get to make a gritty, dark future AU version of their characters. An INCIDENT will occur that will send a group of these characters into THE PAST (aka present game time) in an attempt to stop whatever bullshit has caused the future to suck so much. This could be one event, or multiple.

The important thing is that we have a team of time travelers in Los Angeles attempting to fix the future, and weirding everyone out. They must acquire some kind of MacGuffin, or stop some disaster.

PART TWO
With the mission more or less in hand, the time travelers will travel to the future – and this time, they will be bringing a motley of past people with them, to experience the rotten world of tomorrow. Why? Because they need help doing some kind of thing, most likely dicking with a time machine in a way that will properly reset the timeline instead of creating an offshoot.

So they are basically fighting to make their timeline no longer exist.

At any rate, they need backup. Time will move along in both timelines more or less linearly, though there can be some variation for convenience. How this part ends really depends on you.


So what we need to do here is PLAN. Who wants in? Who wants to timetravel? Who wants to be villains?

Use the comments below to decide. The plot will start mid November and will proceed indefinitely, since the rest of the world will be able to continue on regardless.

If nobody else steps up, I'm up for this guy being Evil World Overlord (or having a part in thereof). At the same time if someone else would prefer to take that spot I am super down with him basically sealing off his place from everything else (or dying in the attempt).

I'm also up for him having a direct hand in the events that led up to whoever the Evil World Overlord is; that is, doing something that needs to be stopped here and now to prevent ~the future~!

Okay so dark n edgy future Peony is definitely 100% a supervillain, and anything beyond that I am willing to negotiate

Miko is SO going to the future

Veloci will probably have been outed as an evil dinosaur and unfortunately for him will NOT be in with any evil overlord stuff going on, meaning he'll most likely be either dead or Hiding From The Law

that's all i got so far for the people who i've got in at the moment

Figured as much, but I didn't want to keep anyone else from claiming it if they'd prefer. But considering he'd probably intact something along the lines of 1984 and/or We, you've got your Bad End right there.

I'M NOT SURE

maybe there was some kind of catastrophe between then and now and she's trying to PRESERVE PERFECT ORDER theoretically to keep it from happening ever again (except whoops now she's the catastrophe)

on one hand we have this terrifying man who by now is publically acknowledged as not all right and arguing out loud with people who aren't there but at the same time has probably machinated control of Asia

on the other we have

CELESTIA: definitely dead, celestia is incompatible with grimdark futures

MEGATRON: possibly also dead (or 'dead'), but either way no longer leader of the Decepticons

KARKAT: would like to imagine that his grimdark future self is GRUFF and MANLY with STUBBLE and a ROBOT ARM and dispensing STOIC ONE LINERS but in fact he is mostly probably doing a lot of crying about how Sollux is evil and Katniss is dead

VANESSA: the true grimdark future: everyone has been turned into a furry

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I'D BE EFFIN TERRIFIED OF THAT

I also love how they're both about controlling themselves/everything (based on your lower comment), but at the same time *absolutely* butt heads with each other because of it.

Wanna bet they're willing to team up if anyone tries to invade *them* but then turn right around and go at each other's throats the moment the threat has passed?

Starscream is ready to take his rightful place on the throne.

Regular Starscream is ready to go into the future to see what a shit leader he actually is.

Thoughts from fellow Decepticons?
