N B4 STEAL WILLIAM'S HAIR PRODUCTS.

KNOX, STRIFE, SUTCLIFF- DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

[fracta_anima]

--Did he even get any in his trunk?

[files_souls_like_taxes]

*points to his list*

[fracta_anima]

day-um.

That also reminds me we should add 'beauty shop' to the list of places if the tower expands again. Just because there's so many ways to accidentally die in one.

If you've watched Sweeny Todd, anyway.

[files_souls_like_taxes]

Own it and played Mr. Todd as well.

[files_souls_like_taxes]

A laundry room would be nice too.... orz

[fracta_anima]

Hands could come out from the dryers to strangle you with the missing left socks.

[files_souls_like_taxes]

Shoved into the dryer...
Burned with Iron...
Drown in soapy water...
Folded up in the iron board closet...

[fracta_anima]

Are those clothes drying on the line or entrails?

[files_souls_like_taxes]

Sudden spray of bleach

[files_souls_like_taxes]

Is that lye mixing with your drinking water?

[files_souls_like_taxes]

Electrical wires strangulating...

Don't mind me. This is fascinating.

[fracta_anima]

Like we needed more proof we're sadists.

Crushed underneath soap dispenser

[files_souls_like_taxes]

Orz I... The sad thing is... William would risk all those dangers for a nicely pressed suit of his.

[fracta_anima]

As is proper of a true shinigami.

UM. Wow. What a thing to jump in on Day 1.

Here are some plot ideas I've been mulling over, though...

1. I was considering getting Tara a job. Specifically, I was going to make her a pool cleaner so she'd drown and acquire severe hydrophobia that she'd try to work past with magic, thus worsening her burgeoning magic addiction, but I wasn't sure who else was a pool cleaner or if anyone else would like to interact with her on another job. Was also considering librarian or cook.

2. The return of Dark Tara. Somehow. Hardcore tear-up-the-world kind of Dark Tara. I know a lot of tower residents could still give her a fight, but the Scoobies got off easy.

3. Maybe some volunteers to get their powers drained? It's an ability Tara has that, if pressed - and I plan to have her pressed - she'd make use of, after some hesitation. Ideally, word of this would eventually get back to Willow, thus leading to an epic smackdown.

4. ...generally getting Tara into trouble, I guess. With enough power, she might acquire a hero complex and try looking out for people to rescue from monsters. So, basically, she's liable to wander into environmental hazards and exhaust herself getting out, which means that there'll be times when she needs a bit of rescuing herself.

5. Manipulative types, she's pretty ripe for manipulating, at this stage of the game.

6. Being a bookworm-y type, I was thinking Tara might be on the lookout for some way to catalogue the monsters.

7. I also stuck a couple of her college textbooks in her trunk, so she might eventually come up with the idea of just getting people together to teach some classes.

...any of that sound interesting? They're all just half baked plot ideas, at the moment, so I hold no illusions about all of them being possible.

[files_souls_like_taxes]

If only that sentiment is shared with others...

[fracta_anima]

4. Minami runs the Night Watch (which is still being set up) so we could probably set something like that up at some point, if Tara doesn't decide to join the Night Watch herself.

[moontothetide]

I could see her going either way on it. On the one hand, Tara is a good cog in a machine, even now if you can keep half an eye on her. On the other, she's gotten used to being a solo operator, so it might take being rescued once or twice before she realizes that these are people she could work with.

But I think we could definitely work something out!

[files_souls_like_taxes]

William:

1) I don't know if this is possible but I would like it if I can have William demand to get a hold of those in charge of the tower and receive an audience to only go mad for like a week or two and not remember what he had learned.

2) another floor suggestion if expanded- a old style movie theater/ stage.

[files_souls_like_taxes]

And a job for this work obsessed reaper. orz

[fracta_anima]

Sweet. Not sure about the specifics just yet but I'll keep it in mind for the future. Let me know if you ever want it to come up and we can see about incorporating it into one of the monthly Watch Logs somehow.

Oh, also! One of the Watch's projects is cataloging the monsters. Willow's currently the person in charge of it so there's some interesting CR for you if you'd like to go in that direction.

[fracta_anima]

That would be awesome. I already asked about a proper gladiator-style arena but it could be a while before the mods expand it again.

I'll have to wait for the mods to get on to answer you about the audience demand, though. Especially since Arturia is likely going to demand the same thing once she finds out about the horrors of the Tower.

[moontothetide]

Bwahahaha. I am not at all surprised. Tara certainly won't be, if it gets brought up. Well, she'll happily sign on as Willow's assistant. It will give them time stuck together where they might have to talk.
