Conversations between the player and the podder.
« on: 03 Aug 2010, 15:18 »
Shalee and I were joking this afternoon about what the conversations between ourselves and our toons would be like as we direct them through their lives in EVE.  Would they rebel against us after putting them in one too many insane situations? Would they actually behave  as they are 'supposed' to, or would they be actors that begrudging acted in the manner our story for them dictates?

Just a quick example, I was musing over what Shalee's conversation would look like -

Shalee Player: So I want you to fall in love with the Brutor General.
Shalee Toon: * Puts her hand on her hip * Say what?
Shalee Player: It'll be great fun!
Shalee Toon: * makes a 'W' sign with her fingers * What-ever crazy drama lady.

and Mit -

Me: You're going to marry Aldrith!
Mitara: Must I?
Me: He's your great love!
Mitara: But he's so... bah. Fine, you owe me. But the least you could do is get a *proper* PC so my ships don't look like shit.

What would your toon say to you?

Aldrith: Yaaay, I'm getting married!
Me: God damn it...
Aldrith: What?
Me: You're a prime piece of real-estate, boy!
Aldrith: ...Wat.
Me: You could be out there, picking up on pirate hotties and getting in the middle of 5-somes and yet you choose to go with a dragon-lady.
Aldrith: ...
Me: And I could be watching all of that and high-fiving you like you're a pimp from Hollywood! And all the drugs and booze and... don't look at me like that, I fucking own you!

Saint:  Why'd you give me such a shit backstory?
Me:  Because I'm a fan of tradgedy.
Saint:  What's with all the cliche's?
Me:  I'm also an amateur.

Edit:  Fancy colors.

Z: Why are we going through nullsec again? The lowsec route is only two jumps more.
Me: Because two jumps is a long-ass way! Also, I enjoy dodging gatecamps.
Z: But you suck at it! Do you have any idea how many times I've gotten killed with stunts like this?
Me: Err...Deal with it, you're an infomorph.
Z: When the revolution comes you're gonna be the first up against the wall, asshole.

Me:  Uhm.  Hey, guys ... I see you're all probably up to something very important with those pitchforks and torches, so I'll just come back later, 'k?

The Assembled Horde:  GET HER!

Me: *running*  BUT ... BUT ... BUT...

The Assembled Horde: YES, IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT!  YOU CAN MAKE UP THIS SHIT!  YOU HAVE MADE UP THIS SHIT!

Celeste:  Wait.  Why are we wielding farm implements?

Vieve:  Because she's made us all obsessed with gardening!

Chisara: Speak for yourself.  I hate being somewhere without good environmental controls.

Sabi: I miss gardening.

Vieve Prime:  Gardening is so ... peaceful.

The rest of the Horde comments in turn, and a discussion breaks out about the persistence of gardening and gardener themes, whether the persistence is a deliberate literary device, a reflection of my true feelings ("I get it.  She thinks we're all freaking weeds," Suosio observes at one point), or just my being lazy.

Thirty minutes pass, they're still yammering, and I'm off somewhere safely playing Sims 3, where the characters usually don't give me shit about theme persistence and jigsaw story arcs -- and if they do, they get set on fire.

Ember: Speaking of the Cartel get off your ass and finish my damn backstory
Me: Yeah yeah Im workin on it.
Ember: Asshole you killed off my family the least you could do is finish the damn thing.
Ember: and while Im thinking about it the one thing we both agree on is that Im a killer why not just go  Blood Raider already and get it over with?
Me: wait wah? Since when did you get to make these decisions?
Ember: Dude we both just want to make things splode. I mean, duh.
Me: Point. Lemme work on the story and your blog and we will see where it goes.
Ember: Fine. Whatever. But neither of us are happy in FW and that 0.0 thing kinda sucks too so hurry up.

Can we make pretty explosions now?
Soon hun, just pre-occupied atm...
Why?
Just lots of stuff...
Why?
Because I'm trying to get your standings sorted with Khanid Innovation...
Why?
So I can arrange a passive income of sorts...
Why?
To be able to partly afford Plex's each month...
Why?
BECAUSE I'M FUCKING SICK OF PAYING THE MAN IN CASH TO KEEP YOUR WORTHLESS LITTLE ASS IN A POD!
...oh...

...Why?

Zag: So... I'm dead now?
Me: Not exactly.
Zag: Some kind of space zombie then?
Me: No.
Zag: .....
Me: Well, it's sort of complicated.
Zag: Please, do explain. As much as you can explain to a figment of your imagination subservient to your whims.
Me: Well, you were in fact a deep cover Ishukone agent sent to the Federation thirty years ago to conduct espionage within the Federal Military and Intelligence apparatus. When you became a liability, Ishukone killed your cover and...
Zag: Wait.
Me: Yes?
Zag: That sounds somewhat familiar.
Me: I read too much Ludlum as a kid. Also, tvtropes.
Zag: Right, how many scotch and cokes is that now?
Me: Hmm. Four going on five?
Zag: Great, my script is written by a bloody alcoholic.
Me: How do you think you got married off, mate?
Zag: Sometimes I hate you.
Me: I know.
Zag: You really should have gone for that whole charming Cartel rogue angle instead of...
Me: An overly complicated old man whose wife keeps his penis safely tucked away in a mahogany box on the mantle above the fireplace?
Zag: Yeah. That.
Me: You just make all the mistakes so I don't have to. *sips scotch and coke*

Me: Ah, well. Damn lag.

Esna: *Pukes all over the floor.* God damn you! You got me podded again! Don't you know this makes me feel like something a fedo threw up?

Me: Oh, shush... we're only one jump from Amarr now. Wallet can support another Harbi, I think?

Esna: *Pukes a little more.* Six thousand people just died on that ship! SIX THOUSAND? In a nameless war against an alliance that might not exist in a year and almost certainly won't even be in the same territory!

Me: Da-da-daaa, docking in station... there we go. Open the market...

Esna: Can you PLEASE pay attention? You should have known to get out when the twenty-some ships started locking you! They were about to primary you!

Me: ...they yellowboxed me? Damn, I just hit "fire", got lag, and suddenly saw myself in low shields...

Me: Esna: ...were you EVEN PAYING ATTENTION?!

You're breaking my concentration. Here, new implant set... these need to be plugged in.

Esna: ...I just got podded, not ten minutes ago. Before that, I had my Harbinger ripped out from under me because YOU weren't paying attention. And now you want me to go in for SURGERY?!

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.
