Morning: Danger Girl, "If You Want Blood (You've Got It)" - M&M, PL 6

Queen_Dopplepopolis · 12th September 2008, 03:28 AM

The Danger Girls (and friends), recently recovered from their deadly escapades at Disney World, attempt to relax and unwind on the blustery EXTREME SNOWBOARDING slopes of exotic Transylvania.

Will the team find rest and relaxation on the mountain peaks... or will an newly awakened ancient evil put their lives at stake?!

Inspired by my love of all things Danger Girl, this adventure will feature the following playable characters:

Abbey Chase - blonde bombshell and master of many languages; the Danger Girl's expert on all things mystical
Sydney Savage - a saucy Aussie armed with a whip and an extreme "can do" attitude
Silicon Valerie - a young and shy techie/gadgeteer with high hopes of becoming a full-fledged Danger Girl
Johnny Barracuda - God's gift to women (or so he thinks...)
Secret Agent Zero - Super-tough, super-secret ninja agent - he's always there when Abbey needs a hand
Deuce - The leader of the Danger Girls, Deuce is a suave, intelligent 'gent that only fights when he absolutely needs to

When signups open, feel free to call "dibs" on a particular character if there's one that stands out to you. In the meantime, I suggest you head to Wikipedia and read the Danger Girl entry to get a "feel" for the characters and the setting... and then prepare yourself for ridiculous, silly fun!

Players:
Slot 1: The Universe - Deuce
Slot 2: Xath - Sydney
Slot 3: AIM-54 - Zero
Slot 4: madwabbit - Abbey
Slot 5: Frai - Val
Slot 6: ExploderWizard - Johnny

Geek. Who stays up until 1200am just to register for a game?

Oh wait...

I'll dibs on Sydney Savage if nobody else already has

~~I'd like to sign up and play Johnny Barracuda.~~

John Crichton · 18th September 2008, 12:17 PM

I'm torn between Deuce in this game and Rodrigo's Dread game!

The_Universe · 18th September 2008, 01:24 PM

I believe signups were postponed until 8:00pm tonight.

Queen_Dopplepopolis · 18th September 2008, 11:51 PM

If Xath is playing in this game, she has "dibs" on Sydney. The Universe has "dibs" on Deuce.

Aside from that, it's a free-for-all!

Per my earlier attempt at midnight, I would *like* to play Zero. With that said, I will likely come back just after 800pm tonight to sign-up for this game again, in the hopes that Zero will be available. If someone gets him before me, so be it. I'm not sure I'd be all about Barracuda, and I can think of at least two other folks coming who'd be a MUCH better Barracuda than I could ever be.

Werd.

And I think it would be an abomination in the sight of the Gaming Ghods for a male (or more specifically, me) to play any of the female Danger Girls. Those characters are (IMHO) the ideal perfect character for any woman to wish to play, and there is absolutely no sexism or feminism intended in that assertion -- it's simply a statement of fact.

My Danger Girl fanboi-ness, let me show you it.

FIFY.

I mean, your assertion was disproven earlier in the thread when Frai's first choice was declared to be Agent Zero. Some women would prefer to be a male ninja, apparently.

As for Barracuda, I haven't read the comic and from the description at the top and on Wikipedia I thought he was more of a loser, but upon further investigation, he seems a little more Bond-like. So I guess I'll let someone who knows the comic take him.

Note that I didn't say that the male characters were ideally only for males to play.

Perhaps I wasn't clear: I think that women players should have first crack at any of the female characters here, because (like Hollywood roles for strong and smart women), characters such as these are fewer in number than I think they should be. If they choose not to play those, then whatever else they want to play, subject to whatever is available, is totally cool.

Upon reflection, yes, I guess that is sexist, albeit of the reverse kind. Sue me. Perhaps I should have majored in womens' studies in college, instead of the simple certificate in it that I received -- it obviously didn't take well enough.
