Random Visitor: excuse me, ma'am...
Bomamba: *singing merrily* along came a spider and sat down beside her, and bit little fingers away!.. Oh, 'elllllo there sweety, are you in need of something?
RV: Can I have some porridge ma'am?
Bomamba: Oh suuuure, honey!! *trots to the cauldron while Pians are circling around it* Oi, shoo, shoo, the lot of you! You're spoiling my yummy gruel! Nooo!!! No milk and sugar, you pestering tots! *havoc ensues as cat furballs are scaring the Pians off, and then Bomamba returns with a plate of something scary* Heeere you go, sweety, a healthy gruel so you can quickly grow up healthy-wealthy and FAT!
RV: okthxi'mnotveryhungry *runs away*

D'awww, she seems so cutesy-evil....I'd probably eat her food.

[Meggiemaccat]

Alright, sent off the sample... at least I hope it made it. o-o;;;

..... Aaaand I forgot the personality blurb. XPPP *facepalm*

EDIT: *hits the back button and finds it all there* Phew! I'll get right on the personality! XD

...I just had the thought of Donbalon running a used car lot. o_O Huh. You know, will there be cars? Then again the Pians might decide to listen to a certain song from Themes to Dreams 2 while driving and decide to become gangsters. XP Robbin' the Wizemart, yo.

Quick tip, if you use Firefox, get the Lazarus add-on. It saves forms so even if a type text wasn't there when backspacing, you can recover it.

[WATERLiLYCAT]

I suppose the Pians are the disposable, edible slaves of the Maren world, eh? XP

Well... Crap. I'm already stuck. I have no idea what to write about for sample text D: Or how long it needs to be. Or how serious. CRAPCRAPCRAP.

[DARiA]

I also have one minor question - what are the relationships between the official characters? They wouldn't need to introduce themselves to each other, right?

Maybe I should also say that Bomamba is cutesy-evil - good word, SiLENCE - like a cross between your funny peculiar granny/auntie and the witch from Hantzel and Gretel... And she's very fond of cats and tends to rant about "youth these days"...

*are the boards meant to turn the word "q u e e r" into a bunch of symbols or that's just me?*

Just enough to where you think you can show off Puffy's personality I think. You could have Puffy alone practicing some singing or drag in some nameless Visitors to demonstrate how she would interact with them. Or you could put how she could interact with other Marens. Does she ignore certain ones? Does she have a pet peeve? Is she happy at the Hotel? That sort of thing. Showcase her personality and how you would RP. ^^

At the very least, Reala and NiGHTS know everyone. As well, the NiD Marens know one another and the same goes for the JoD Marens. For the sake of less confusion, we could have it where they all know each other either prior to the hotel being built or they finally met one another when getting to Someplace ™. Of course the NiD crew know one another and the JoD crew know each other. Wizeman, Reala, and NiGHTS know everybody prior to NiGHTS taking over the hotel.

Bomamba is sounding great.

[Meggiemaccat]

Shouldn't NiGHTS not be standing for the Nightopians being devoured/served to guests? o----o;;;

[SmashQueen]

True, but if he doesn't catch the Marens doing so, I'm not sure he can stop it. >>;

Now where is Jackle going to hide that guillotine?

[Dreamer#96]

Now where is Jackle going to hide that guillotine?

Just put some decorations on it and place it in the bar, no one will notice it. XD

Right. Up near the karaoke machine then.

Ah, very helpful, thank you! ^.^ I'll see about trying to sketch up something now. *Cracks knuckles*

EDIT:// Poorly written audition SENT

[SmashQueen]

*stops self from laughing* Okay, so Reala is going to try and prove to Wizeman that he's superior to NiGHTS...

What if he went to such extremes that there were major damages to the hotel to the point where...oh I dunno...that half the hotel was destroyed? XP Wizeman is out a ton of Blue Chips. Heh heh. I'm going along the lines of thinking if there were "seasons" to Fandom Into Dreams.

"An indeterminable amount of time has passed... The hotel is nearly back on it's feet, but for the place to stay up any longer...more guests will have to be invited. What will happen on this season of "Fandom Into Dreams"? Will Reala finally be raised from his position as janitor? Will the Pians that took over Jackle's bar be overthrown? Will Puffy break another window? Will Wizemart finally stock fish food? Will William have the will to free Willy from the willies?! Will the announcer ever stop asking questions?! Find out...in your dreams." *cue eerie music*

[Dex la Cabra]

haha....willies.....no, i'm mature! XD

[DARiA]

hmmmm....
you know, I've been thinking....
Would Owl be ranting about "dreamers those days"? I've got an idea for a picture-something, but I don't know if it would be okay to post here...

and I can have another character beside Bomamba, right?

[Sierra]

If not enough people sign up, we may have people take doubles.

As for everything else, I'm sorry but it's FINALS WEEK and I am spending all my free time cramming. Once break starts, which is this friday, we can get down to business.

[DARiA]

Best of luck on your finals, I know it's a hard time)

[Noctourne Wonderland]

On Realtionships: Clawz and Bomamba work in the restaurant together, so they know each other, and Puffy and Chamelan run the casino together, so they know each other.

And now, my audition! The extra "r"s are Clawz purrring.

Elliot: Oh look Claris, a restaurant! Let's go look at menu to see if we-

Clawz: (Quickly) HELLO DREAMER and welcome to Chez Clawz, home of explosive food! Might I interest you in ourrrr daily special? It's the meowst purrrrfect meal you can find anywherrrre herrre in "Somewherrre"! Let's see...today it is...CATFISH? Who thought we would serve CATfish? Doesn't Bomamba realize that *I* am a CAT?! I'd serve Gulpo before I serve CAT!

Claris: Excuse me? Catfish isn't the same as ca-

Clawz: WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW?! You'rrrre just a dreamerrrr! I'll be right back, but why don't you orderrr a nice chocolate mouse? I mean, meowse! Wait, no! What I meant was....buy dessert! *Runs into the kitchen*

[WATERLiLYCAT]

Puffy never really struck me as a 'Vegas' type, but I might be able to re-write for 'Showgirl'. Only I've never been to Vegas. Or a casino. Or anywhere near showgirls.

[SmashQueen]

Hey, what about security? There might be gangster Pians and we need to know they won't rob us. >>

Also, shouldn't there be a list of the staff position the characters have, even for the ones working at Wizemart and McWizey? Or do Pians run those places? O_o Anyway, the list is just for convenience sakes and to get things in order.

[Noctourne Wonderland]

Ask and ye shall receive-

~*Current List of Official Characters *~

• Wizeman (Lord of Nightmare, God of Evil, and Head of Wizemart): TRiPPY
• NiGHTS (Hotel Owner): Sierra/Kamui (Audition!)

• Queen Bella (Tea Shop Owner): Meggiemaccat
• Cerberus (Dog Pound operator?): SiLENCE
• Owl (Concierge?): Dreamer #96
• Octopaw (Valet?): Ten

[SiLENCE]

I think Cerberus is going to have a pet-sitting service. That never gets any business, because customers get eaten. Yeah.

[SmashQueen]

[*]Donbalon (Used Car Dealer):

XD Donbalon the car dealer. Next thing you know a jalopy filled with Pians will be plowing through the kitchen, freaking some cats out and making them run off, going by the erm...dog pound pet-sitting service which riles up Cerberus enough to chase them back to Bomamba...and things start exploding. XP I wasn't being serious, but it seems like something Donbalon could do.

Thanks Noctourne. Heh. Dysfunctional...

[Dreamer#96]

Concierge sounds fun, though there doesn't seem to be much places in Someplace™, but it does sound like something I could imagine Owl doing. XD

[WATERLiLYCAT]

Can we not list Puffy as casino-related yet? Unless I have to I'd rather not play that. I'll think about it to see if I even can, and maybe I will anyway, but I can better see her running even a baby-sitting service. Or maybe visitor detention. Or a tacky boutique and hair dress shop. Actually, salon a la Puffy sounds fun >D

[SmashQueen]

Go for it LiLY. Nothing's quite final yet (well, except for NiGHTS running the place, but that was a given considering the setting and...plot). ^^

Nothing's set yet; I was just drawing upon past ideas that had been thrown into converstaion. Feel free to do whatever you think is right for Puffy- I personally like the idea in bold.

[WATERLiLYCAT]

Okay, just making sure since I didn't want to be set in a role. (I have a problem with commitment XD)

[DARiA]

Yes, make Puffy run a salon! =D Is cosmetic shop a good idea? "Today, girls, I'll make you pretty"?
I'm soory, it's just so easy for me to imagine Puffy being a kind of hostess, talking about music, fashion, accessories, cosmetics and pastry recipes with girl dreamers .__.

About Bomamba and Clawz - I believe the witch auntie likes Clawz, since she's a cats person.
Don't think there's ever going to be "catfish" in the list) Unless she's being absent-minded (and how about "shleep soup"? makes you slow, drowsy and easy to catch))

On a side note, I've been thinking about Bomamba, brewing soup that may occasionally cast some spell on a dreamer. Like, he can talk in rhymes only, or has to end his sentences in a certain way. Or he just turns into a frog. That means he has to take some little quest to lift the spell - more fun with the RP maybe?

Brilliant ideas! It should be fun to see what comes from the potions.

[andersam]

AUGH
As much as I rabidly, crazily INSANELY loe roleplaying, I can't online because It totally derails my mind and my grades slip AUGGGGHHHH SOUNDS LIKE SO MUCH FUN MAYBE I'll stop in everyonce in a while from my bondage part-time job across the street XD

[MAXinsanity]

Seems interesting. I've tried to roleplay several times, but ended up chickening out each time.

Hopefully I can gather my courage (or simply get crazy amounts of candy and eat it) so I temporarily stop caring if I think I'll look idiotic if I do so.

[DARiA]

Get on board, get on board! We need more people, or it won't be fun at all! )
Ain't no worries, auntie Bomamba will make you a nice and hot soup to make you brave. Or healthy. Or wealthy. Or just FAT *hums merrily while polishing suspiciously looking cage*

ok, joking) I'm a chicken, too, and never roleplayed much, but I see this as an opportunity to actually change something about it and have fun.
Oh, and the best part about the community? No one is going to make fun of you in an offending manner, EVER )

[Level 99]

I am contemplating going for Gulpo *blub*. He seems *blub* like the kind of character that *blub* would be a smooth talker and smile *blub* convincingly while he secretly wants *blub* to eat you.

He'd be in charge of the spa, including the pools and hot tubs. He does not like Clawz on sheer fact that he's a cat and the chef.

And maybe snooty French Girania can run... um... the spa's giftshop? XD You know, selling bathsalts and moisturizers and haircare products (that only work on fish? XD ).

[WATERLiLYCAT]

MUSTACHE ENHANCER.

Wow, this place has a salon and a spa! Ritzy! *Drywall crumbles, wallpaper peels*

Not generally, but he does. XD *points at WLC's CapsText*

[WATERLiLYCAT]

GOOD LUCK FINDING MY CAPS TEXT. I TOTALLY NEVER USE IT.

[SmashQueen]

XD Oh man. NOW Girania and Gulpo sound cool. XP

...I just had a vision of one of them singing "Swimming, swimming, just keep swimming..." X3

Oi... I'm not getting' fan-sah with Jackle. He has a bar. It's under construction. He likes serving Pians. He's also crazy, bipolar, and likes to tease Reala.

There. Waaaaayy too much going on right now to get even a proper plot for him. @_@

[DARiA]

Marens have to earn some Blue Chips, so everyone have a particular thing to do - to lure dreamers into his or hers or its part of the Somewhere, entartain the said dreamer and eventually steal his money. I think it's a decent start for a plot. Maybe some of the marens would have a personal quest - something like a little kink? (Bomamba innocently hids some peculiar blueprints) - so that dreamers are never bored.
I think the main problem would be with dreamers. Because while marens' hotel is like one big crazy circus/lunapark/spa resort/zoo/scaryhouse, that is most likely to be bursting with activity (I know Bomamba's kitchen is), what kind of personal quests dreamers have? ike the reason they wandered near the hotel in the first place? It's up to the person who will be playing as dreamer to decide, but still...

I think that maybe we just should flesh out the basic concept of what each maren's occupation is, then get us some dreamers and see how would it all go.
