Thees ees vhere ve shall be gathering uff ze infor-may-shun, yes? Ah yes.

</dork>

Een Eengleesh, that means Ree'll collect some data to date and plop it here. Okiedaydee?

Okay.

Cast: Suitov and Jaina. And... the swans. *ominous music*
Setting: I think we were torn between a pre-industrial FAN-tasy DREAM-world.... *sings* Ahem. Or a roughly parallel urban Earth setting.
Entrance: JJ tries to portal them somewhere cozy. She biffs it. They tumble into a feathered frenzy. Hee. Don't tell Jainey how much I like to bother her.

Snippets of preponderance:

Jaina Jade (4:56:28 PM): Well, in a fantasy world, people might see bright lights and magical powers, and just say say "Yawn -- same old, same old." Whereas with a modern tech world, somebody might call Hard Copy or the local news or SciFi Channel, and that could be... interesting.
Suitov (4:56:58 PM): Ooooo.
Suitov (4:57:18 PM): We'd also briefly thought about magics not working very well, or possibly not at all.

That's all I have so far.

Testing the RSS feed. If it still doesn't update I'll have to look into full-feed plugins, though there's at least one decent one out there.

Still not sure about RSS feed since the DB keeps conking out when Bloglines checks. Argh. Mutt, you should be able to post here now -- sorry about that. Call it a test of security settings? *g*

Random thoughts here. If we go with a tech world, aren't people going to freak the hell out over animate fowl corpses?

I am not saying this well. *thinks for a min*

Fantasy world scenario: A region is besieged by evil dead birds. Communication between villages is virtually nil, so calls for help go unheard. Transportation is slow -- escape is almost impossible. Most people aren't aware of the danger until it kills them (and then there's probably human zombies!).

Tech world scenario: Region, The Birds, yadda yadda. Communications travel almost instantly through wires and off satellites, so distant countries are on guard well in advance. Some citizenry take to old nuke bunkers, abandoned subway lines, etc. If the world's advanced enough, escape by spacecraft may be possible. Bombing the shite out of flocks is possible, perhaps even likely, and potential human zombies get blasted to smithereens right off.

So there's that. Unless there's holes in my logic, which there very likely are. Point 'em out for me? *is blind to her own illogic*

Depends how evenly distributed the tech is, of course. If the peasantry is mostly (kept) dirt poor and undereducated, and the rich lot then seal themselves away along with all the useful technology...

Ree · 2005 Jul 21 07:55

Excellent point. Sounds nifty too. Is that what we want to do, then? *shows interest*

Baskerville · 2005 Jul 22 05:14

I'd be up for it. Swif would be up for it. *eg*

A-plotting we will go,
A-plotting we will go,
Yo ho and even so
A-plotting we will go.

*sings happily*
