Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hey hey people loving ur new looks i'm not quite sure what direction my avi is going in but i love te cute food on my head >_<
yay the plot plan is out let's hope all the needed work will be started and finished before the ball starts

*is happy you guys like glitter and puts her sword away, not going to go on a blood-bathed genocide* okay! lets get to work! what should we work on first?

my contest, if allowed, would be a one-verse song writing contest. love song, of course. i'd prefer the Love side of our room.

my glitter is better then your awesomeness! *takes out sword as if daring anyone to contradict me* well, with the whole powerful being thing, once thing i suggest we decide on is... whos gonna be the descendant to the person who sealed envy or love away? i imagine the room host and cohost of course.

Right. Like Dusky said, we need to start on the characters and plot. =D (This is gonna be fun! One of the best bits of the Ball! =D)

ANY IDEAS of the dimension, scenario, plot or characters you have in mind, POST AWAY IN THIS THREAD. EXPRESS YOUR CREATIVITY AND SHOOT AWAY!!

To those new to the Annual Ball, let me explain a few things first:

The room plot is obviously, the story of our room. We are free to do anything we want as long as it coincides with the main plot. =D Since we'll be trapped in our own sort of dimension in the tower, that gives us a LOT of freedom to express and choose our roles. =D So this, mainly, comes first. Plot determines everything, including the characters.

Characters. In case some of you don't know, everyone of you will be a character for the ball, and your role will be very crucial in keeping the story going. First, we must finish the plot, then everyone can choose who they wish to be. =D You are free to give some input on the kind of character you want to be, but please don't be upset if we don't manage to find a character you wish to be. =)

Finally, the contests. There will be a compulsory MAIN CONTEST in the Room which resolves the final conflict of the room (in this case, stopping the chaos between Envy and Love), and one compulsory King and Queen of the Room contest. The rest are absolutely up to us. =D Last year, we have all the members from our room host one contest each (which is not the main contest or King and Queen as that is normally hosted by the hosts and co-hosts of the room), so be prepared to think of an idea for the contest you would like to host. The contest can range from anything from art to story or song writing to tektek contests, so it's really up to you, but EVERY CONTEST must also be related or have something to do with the room. However, if you're not very confident in hosting a whole contest by yourself, feel free to host one with someone else. =D Like the saying goes, two is always better than one. xD But this comes later in the planning, SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT TOO MUCH JUST YET. XD


The plot process will be something like this: Ideas and discussions shall be held in this thread, and occasionally weekend meetings. I will try to piece together everyone's ideas and opinions and come up with something. Then, to finalise the plot, I'll be sending each of you a PM of the plot, and you can give your feedback whether you agree on the plot, or changes that can be made to make the plot much better. Then everything will be much easier.

So right now, what we have to think of is...
a) Envy and Love's Backstory
b) The conflict between them and what triggered it
c) Their current dilemma
d) How they resolve the conflict
e) How we can use other characters to bring out the story
f) The characters personalities

Uh. 0.0 *slowly... backs... away... from... Sailor* No? Actually, the role of the room host and co-host is Envy and Love respectively. It has been pre-determined from once the host and co-host will be selected. Which means Dusky and I will be playing Envy and Love, and you guys will get to choose whatever you wanna be!! =D But you raised and excellent point, Sailor. We should decide the character of the descendant, and his/her role in our room. Also, your contest idea sounds VERY fun and interesting!! =D It'll be wonderful if we have a fun contest like that! Great job thinking bout it! =D I take it you'll like to host it?

Speaking of that, I call for a meeting next Saturday. For Dusky and Cakes time, it'll be around late morning or noon, and for those in the UK it will be at night. Is it possible for the majority of you to make it?

Sailor: Yes. Your idea sounds great! =D Descendant(s) who understand how the sin and virtues feel, who understands what they're going through (or went through) and thus being able to seal/control them, and help them resolve the conflict. But so far, we don't know how many descendants we're allowed to have. 0.o Maybe I'll ask Lady A about that. Or wait till the final plot is released to confirm it.

So far, excluding Dusky and I, there are 5 other members in this room. So we can have approximately 3-4 other characters (just in case some people are unable to attend during the actual ball date). This is my idea: We have a one character each that are close to Envy and Love respectively (could be a friend, lover, pet, their inner demon/angel, anything!!), and one/two descendants, depending on what we can do.

My opinion is, we shouldn't try to stereotype Envy and Love into what everyone usually perceives them to be. Envy doesn't have to be a character who's always envious of other people. He/She can be someone who always cause others to be envious of him/her (such as being rich, attractive physical appearance, looking like he/she has everything), even to those who are closest to him/her, and thus is void of love in his/her life, and maybe become envious of others who receive unconditional love. And that's where love comes in, to fill that void. And this could be why Envy and Love used to be so close to each other. As for Love, he/she is someone who triggers the feeling of love and belonging in others, and receive plenty of love and attention in return. ... I dunno how. Yet. :/

It'll be very interesting if in physical appearance, both Envy and Love doesn't fill the criteria of what others stereotype them to be. Should Envy be a he or a she? Should Love be a he or a she? Most people would guess Envy is the guy and Love is the girl. What if it's the other way round? Girls normally envy other girls more. Who said Love can't be a guy? Or should we go with Love as a girl as girls are normally more sensitive? Going back to topic, what if Envy is a childlike, petite person with a very bright and social personality, but is usually ignored by others because of others' envy towards him? And perhaps Love is a buff, strong person who looks intimidating at first glance, but is actually someone who is very kind, caring and loving to those he/she thinks deserves it? It could be protective love, tough love (though I don't think that'll work :/), caring love, platonic love, or a combination of some of them! It could be anything and everything!! We should try to think out of the box to surprise our guests in the Ball! Anything, people! Anything! Even crap! XD

Warning: Strictly NO MEMBERS of the room are able to take part in ANY contests within the Ball. I will dissect anyone who says otherwise. *whips out scapel* ^w^ But elaborate. What's a Haiku contest?

glitter is better then epincess
