WHAT IF HOMESTUCK WERE A HOSPITAL INSTEAD.

HEY EVERYONE it's your friendly local mod. ANYONE WHO HASN'T POSTED ON THE MINGLE POST YET PLEASE FEEL FREE TO STILL DO SO. If you need ideas just let me know and I'll stick prompts in the main post.

The purpose of this post is ... multi-fold. ONE: how do we feel about an overarching story? I have one in mind - dealing with the ownership of the hospital, the state of its finances, and a natural disaster - but I need to know if everyone wants an overarching story to play in and play out or if we want to keep it casual. In theory once the story concluded casual playing could happen, and certainly I'm 0k with people just tossing up a [ JOHN'S HANGING OUT IN THE CAFETERIA COME BOTHER HIM ] post at any time.

FOR THAT MATTER, AN ASIDE: FEEL FREE TO TOSS UP YOUR OWN POSTS ANYTIME YOU WANT. I'll post occasionally with stuff but y'all can also feel free. Even toss up memes or whatever you like.

ANYWAY so yeah. OVERARCHING STORY: YES OR NO. Tell me how you feel in the comments. (Let it all out.)


SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS: DANCESTORS. I've been asked a LOT about adding them in. I'm not huge on the idea of adding ancestors (Summoner, Sufferer, Dolorosa, etc etc etc) because they all have zero dialogue to speak of aside from Mindfang. BUT THE DANCESTORS, Aranea and Meenah et al, I am fine with including. BUT IN WHAT CAPACITY?

I've heard of them also having jobs in the hospital. I myself suggested that they work at a sister hospital. And I've also heard the idea where they are all long-term patients in the hospital. SO HERE IS ANOTHER POLL: WHAT CAPACITY WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THE DANCESTORS IN? If you have an idea then it'd be great if you could suggest a few example roles (like if they work in the hospital, what jobs do they fill?) to get us started off. PLEASE ALSO INCLUDE THAT SHIT IN YO COMMENTS.


THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS WOW EMILY TALKS TOO MUCH: this is dumb but. the name of the hospital. AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO CARES? I'm still debating between Skaia Heights Medical Center and Crocker Foundation Hospital. i might be the only one who cares DOES ANYONE ELSE CARE.


FOURTH AND FINAL ORDER OF BUSINESS: how do ppl feel about a hospitalstuck plurk so that I can plurk about this shit and y'all don't have to either always check this comm or look for plurks from myself or Pengu? I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. MAYBE.

ok that's it sorry about talking so much bye. ♥ (also im just really fond of this icon don't mind me)


HEY THERE'S A PLURK NOW: http://www.plurk.com/hospitalstuck (GO ADD IT OR W/E.) I'm not gonna use it to add anyone back just friend it or fan it or whatever works for you.

Post here to start working out histories and shit. Character name in the subject line, whatever thoughts you have in the comment body.

The original planning plurk is here; not a necessary read, but if you're interested in seeing the original plans for each role (and something was suggested for everybody!) you can go there. (It's public! And in mobile because my layout is shit.) Or you can just invent your own stuff!

Also obviously comment around here and work things out. If you have NO IDEAS WHATSOEVER that's fine just jump in and jump around talk talk amongst yoselves.

MAN DO I EVER NEED MORE ICONS.
