Shikamaru says:
So...
Shikamaru says:
24 minutes to talk, unfortunetely.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
'S fine.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Whatever you can spare.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
*Readies himself for the questions*
Shikamaru says:
Alright.. first..
Shikamaru says:
D'you mind if I invite someone else into this chat?
Shikamaru says:
Just for him to observe the process.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Nope

Shikamaru says:
Alright, Alan
Shikamaru says:
First off, what materials are you intending on using?
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Just cloth, can't think of anything else I would need.
Shikamaru says:
Mm... Alright. You want a feather added in?
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Good idea, adds some style.
Shikamaru says:
I'll add it in for free...
Shikamaru says:
Now.. do you have a picture?
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Mhmm
Shikamaru says:
Alright.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Lemme dig it up
Shikamaru says:
Do you want me to BS the specifications, or do you have them?
Shikamaru says:
Alright.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
www.thefedorastore.com/Country-Gentleman-Bogey-LiteFelt-Crushable-Fedora-p/73301.htm
Jack's Failed Hope says:
That'll do nicely.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
And no I don't have the specs
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Feel kinda bad about dumping them on ya though.
Shikamaru says:
It's cool, its what I do.
Shikamaru says:
Anyways... how much 'cloth' are you intending on using?
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Hmm
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Half a pound seems enough for a simple hat.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Less realistically, but I don't like nitpicking.
Shikamaru says:
XD
Shikamaru says:
Well, you can do sort of a 'Piccolo' thing.
Shikamaru says:
'EVERY INCH OF CLOTHING I WEAR IS A WEIGHT.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
heh
Shikamaru says:
Alright, so half a pound.
Shikamaru says:
Alright... let's get to the good stuff.
Shikamaru says:
Do you have the 3 powers you want planned out already?
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Not yet, my brain power's been sapped by my mass comm paper.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Maybe some sort of charisma boost though.
Shikamaru says:
--Ahh... that reminds me.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
?
Shikamaru says:
What 3 statistics do you want to be effected?
Shikamaru says:
And which 3 will be the requirements?
Shikamaru says:
So you can work towards 'leveling up' persay.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Hmm
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Char, Wis, and Int make the most sense
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Ack
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Shikamaru says:
?
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Just have to grab somethin' for my ma real quick.
Shikamaru says:
Gotcha.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Back
Jack's Failed Hope says:
So if Char, Wis, and Int are affected than str, dex, and con should be the reqs.
Shikamaru says:
Aye.
Shikamaru says:
But, unfortunetely... the affect won't be that heavy, since its only half a pound.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Mhmm
Shikamaru says:
But then again, nor will the requirements... But, it's just something simple you're working towards, ja?
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Yeah
Shikamaru says:
Alright...
Shikamaru says:
You want it to enhance your fire abilities?
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Mhmm, since that's pretty much all I have since I haven't thought up a new Qi yet.
Shikamaru says:
Well, as with anything, your Qi, as well as your item and its abilities should be reflective of your character's personality.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Of course.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Have to be a little more creative though, since Leon's already grabbed the fire bug angle.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
I'll have lotsa time to consider it with school letting out ssoon.
Shikamaru says:
Alright, well...
Shikamaru says:
The charisma bonus... d'you wanna unlock it right away?
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Yeah, I've got the cash so why not.
Shikamaru says:
Mm...
Shikamaru says:
$500, $1000, $1500.
Shikamaru says:
+2, +4, +6, +8, +10; +2 & +10%, +4 % + 10%, +6
Shikamaru says:
Crap.
Shikamaru says:
Uh...
Shikamaru says:
Basically, the first upgrade will give you +2, +4 , +6, etcetera.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
*nod nod*
Shikamaru says:
The second will add on a 10% after the initial +2, +4, etcetera.
Shikamaru says:
The third upgrade...
Shikamaru says:
+4, +8, +16...
Shikamaru says:
And +10%, +15%, +20% respectively.
Shikamaru says:
So... the difference is pretty drastic from level 2 to 3.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Yeah
Shikamaru says:
Er... actually.
Shikamaru says:
Level 3's percentile thing will be +10%, +20%, +30%, etcetera.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Alrighty
Shikamaru says:
Und...
Shikamaru says:
Your Qi...
Shikamaru says:
Hmm... you want it to be fire-based, ja?
Shikamaru says:
But, John Ong...
Shikamaru says:
Maybe yours could be more like the 'weaker, projectile' version of it.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
I'm not sure if fire's the way to for it.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Aureus has been calming down lately.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
No more Brimstone or alcohol. >_>
Shikamaru says:
<_<
Shikamaru says:
Alright, then...
Shikamaru says:
Well, what 'element' would you say your character is like?
Shikamaru says:
---Actually, hell, I'd suggest taking up a few personality quizzes... and you answer for your character.
Shikamaru says:
Both personalities, if you'd like.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Mmm
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Might not go the element route at all
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Seems overplayed. But we don't have to go into it now.
Shikamaru says:
Alright, well...
Shikamaru says:
Hmm... I understand the Charisma connection to the hat.. The 'cool' effect.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Yup yup
Shikamaru says:
It'll be naturally fireproof, waterproof, ectera, for free.
Shikamaru says:
Mm...
Shikamaru says:
...Do you sport yourself as a gambling sort of man?
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Ah, nice idea. And yeah, sometimes.
Shikamaru says:
Hmm...
Shikamaru says:
Well... the 'dice' effect, and your word of honor will need to come into play then.
Shikamaru says:
That, and/or a video recording.
Shikamaru says:
Or.. a moderator does it for you.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Dice effect?
Shikamaru says:
Exactly.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Care to elaborate?
Shikamaru says:
Simple...
Shikamaru says:
It's effect varies, depending on what number you roll, and/or what card you pull.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
I gotcha.
Shikamaru says:
If you allow for negative effects, I can improve how the beneficial effects are... drastically.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Sounds fair.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Makes it more exciting too.
Shikamaru says:
Alright then...
Shikamaru says:
Do you want it to be just dice, just cards, or a little bit of both?
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Just cards will do.
Shikamaru says:
Alright.
Shikamaru says:
Clubs and Spades will be negative?
Shikamaru says:
Or..
Shikamaru says:
Do you have the powers for each color vaguely thought out?
Jack's Failed Hope says:
I like the clubs and spades idea better than color.
Shikamaru says:
Well, they're both black...
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Ah, true.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Hmm
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Maybe clubs could be a str reduction
Jack's Failed Hope says:
And spades...
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Dex
Shikamaru says:
So what of Hearts and Diamonds?
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Hearts con
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Diamons wis
Shikamaru says:
Mm... Actually...
Shikamaru says:
Do you want it to be that 2-7 result in a reduction... and 8-Ace result in a bonus?
Shikamaru says:
Or sorta like a... 2 = negative effect, 3 = positive, etcetera?
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Hmm
Shikamaru says:
Therein, all 4 of your physical statistics can be both positively and negatively affected, pending on what type of card, and what number/rank
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Yeah that works out nicely.
Shikamaru says:
Alright...
Shikamaru says:
You wanna go with 'odds = positive, evens = negative' thing?
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Yeah
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Damn, just noticed Ally posted the hospital thread now...
Shikamaru says:
Gotta tend to that?
Shikamaru says:
No worries, m'man...
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Nah
Jack's Failed Hope says:
There's time, just annoyed I didn't notice it until now.
Shikamaru says:
XD Ah.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Anyways, how's all your posting and stuff been going?
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Not too much work I hope.
Shikamaru says:
Naw.
Shikamaru says:
It's actually been good, since Drama's been less active... But I did go into a slump for a bit.
Shikamaru says:
>_> Believe me. I love keeping active...
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Yeah you do have a passion for it
Shikamaru says:
XD
Shikamaru says:
...Neh, alright, well...
Shikamaru says:
I'm gonna have to call it a night for now.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Alright
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Thanks for all your help, man.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
You got the idea gears turning in my head.
Shikamaru says:
No worries, m'man.
Shikamaru says:
If you wanna modify the card ideas (have it turn elemental or whatnot...) lemme know..
Shikamaru says:
Anything's possible.. It's your item, after all.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
I'll keep it in mind.
Jack's Failed Hope says:
Have a good night, Mike.
Shikamaru says:
You too.
