cape and cowl 2020: planning post

[2020mod]

C&C 2020 Someone call for a dystopian future au? Sometime around 2014 (THIS IS NEW, GUYS, WE'RE JUST SLIDING THE SHIT HITTING THE FAN FORWARD A FEW YEARS OKAY), the government in the City decided that they'd had enough of these superhero antics. There was a nationwide crackdown on metas, requiring registration upon penalty of incarceration. The network was shut down, and many residents were scattered to the winds. There are a few that stayed in touch, however. That's where you come in. For some of you, this might be from before your time. Not to fear! Since it's a highly flexible splinter universe, there's pretty much no such thing as canon. Retcons abound, either as allowances for contradictory canon information (except for the premise, of course), or even just if the player wants to change something around! So, use this post as a free-for all. New characters get new projected histories, dropped characters can be said to have come back, and old characters can be reexamined or given more story. On Sunday, an open post will be put up in capeandcowl2020 proper, so use this time to work out information and pimp this out to players who're eligible but may not see this (you can also ahead and start your own posts in that comm)! Remember, any character that has been played in main game is automatically good to go, and you are welcome to make use of the musebox whenever the mood strikes you! musebox • rules • character list

WOW KARKAT

WOW

they could still totally smack into each other at the cafe like last time and eridan can be like wow karkat in person

[crab]

HE WON'T BRING RUKA UP IF ERIDAN DOESN'T FIRST

SHE'S A SORE SUBJECT 8(




will he sell karkat out

[amoray]

HE WILL PROBABLY NOT

HE'S NOT THAT BAD (SORT OF)

unless they somehow get in like a gigantic hilarious fight or something it's totally possible with these two

[crab]

after seven years karkat's probably pretty burned out on ERIDAN DRAMA and just

settles into awkward hatefriendship

but since karkat has dedicated his whole life to being a fugitive/rebelling in his own way at this point if he ever found out about what eridan was doing THAT COULD POTENTIALLY TRIGGER IT

WHAT DID YOU DO, ERIDAN AMPORA
WHAT DID YOU DO!!!!!!!!

[amoray]

LMAO GOD they settle into an uneasy hatefriendship for months and eridan invites karkat over for a drink one night after work

leaves a word doc up on his laptop detailing all the shit he's doing for the government like a total dipshit

with his luck karkat would nail all his YOU'RE A HORRIBLE SELFISH PERSON WHO FUCKED EVERYBODY OVER AGAIN fears and make him flip out

[crab]

LMFAO THAT IS EXACTLY THE ANGLE HE WOULD TAKE DEAR GOD

and he would probably assume eridan was always planning to betray him 8(
TRAITOR
BACKSTABBER
HE TRUSTED YOU
HE GAVE YOU A SECOND (HUNDREDTH) CHANCE AND THIS IS WHAT YOU WERE PLANNING TO DO WITH IT

(do you wanna jam this out over aim my browser is being slow as balls)
