Welcome to Gaia! ::

'Tis true! Never seen it...and I had a suitemate in college who was obsessed with that movie! (She is in love with David Bowie!) But it seems like whenever she was watching Labyrinth, I had either gone home for the weekend, or I had homework or a theater rehearsal or something else going on. So...I've never seen it! It's also usually half over on those rare occasions when I flip through the channels and see that it's actually on. So yeah. Twenty-six years old, and I've still never gotten to watch it. cry

I love the idea of Imp Wrangler! XD

I think we're just doing random brainstorming at the moment. We have time for it. 3nodding Plus, I'm juggling several Halloween projects, so I know I'll have more time after afterwards. I'm guessing a lot of people are the same way.

So, instead of scenery, here's something for everyone to consider: What will the hosts and co-hosts be? Will we be humans and monsters? What are some general rough plots that we might be able to build off of? Decorations are nice, but they're just minor details in the end. We need to start with the big picture.

Plot and characters kind of come into the picture at the same time. We might change around details about the characters later on, but we usually have a pretty good idea of who the characters are by the time we have the first draft of the plot.

^^ Sorry to pop back up outta nowhere and explode forth with ideas again, but..... I gotta do it.....

To expand upon earlier ideas, we still need a main theme and plot for the room before even a map/cake can be planned out. We need a solid idea of WHAT we are doing before we can think of WHERE we are doing it. please guys and girls, KEEP IT SIMPLE for the rooms. The cast will be the main attraction really. I mean, if a house looks amazing, but the people inside hold no interest, who will enter?

I personally think since we are doing the fantasy thing, we can really play with our characters in a very unique and whimsical way. I would actually like to see some mule accounts to act as animated objects that interact with the guests. Insulting them, leasing, egging them on, tempting them, etc. A few imp masters would be cool. A tons of amusing and very wide range of personalities in the Rpers. I personally have one Rp that I control roughly sixty or so characters. Each has their very own life and attitude to them. I can play the good guy to the sadistic b*****d you hate to the bad guy you know you should hate but you still love for some reason.

Also, please. I wanna see some furries out there. Amazing critters they be.

NOW! Idea for location. I suggested this once, but I will do it again; I would like to do this entire room in the glass orbs that were Jareth's signature magical item in the movies. perhaps some corridors, but we need to keep the layout simple. Too much means tons of confusion and it gets overwhelming. I mean, on a personal level, would you rather have a well planned and thought out six rooms, or a very scattered and ill thought out ten floors? I would rather have a very good cast personally. Hell, give me ten mule accounts and I can be a one woman role-playing army. For I can even interact with myself for pages.

The general idea is keep it simple. Not huge ideas, just huge personalities. Sorry for rambling~! ^^'

Once we get the main plot finished, we can have some room meetings! heart We had the best time in the Sloth room meetings last time, and we actually got quite a bit done. I guess I'm just talking, rambling, and stalling until then. lol

We'll have enough people, so you won't need all of those accounts. If you want to be an NPC also, I'm sure that would work as well. People who didn't make the fist cut for co-host usually end up doing NPC work unless a co-host leaves and they're upgraded. Then, people who come shortly before the ball begins who and who want a part usually get NPC jobs as well. 3nodding

The main plot is going to be finalized any day now, and then we can really focus on the room plot.
