Now for something different

[Lotherio]

Just a random idea. I've no time for anything other than where I'm at but, if this came up, I'd play it. Leaving it out here, who knows, may inspire someone down the road.

Changeling Sci-Fi .... instead of being altered humans or half-breeds or something, players are the fae. An experiment has gone awry. PCs are thrust into a high-tech world beyond our own, maybe humans live in virtual space and drive around androids like Replicants (Surrogates is the movie I'm thinking of for this), mingling with AI bosses/robot overlords and not realizing it. Not quite Matrix, something similar to Ready Player One, but constantly living between Replicant interactions and a sort of VR. Humans are zombie like hermits living vicariously through replicants/avatars.

Its the lost in space/swiss family robinson/etc. genre/brave new world. Lots of details to work out, just a concept that sounded fun. New players arrive from the aftermath of the gone wrong experiment on home dimension, but its a one way ticket to this world.

Hey now, I get up and go outside sometimes. When its not hot and sunny, too cold, or miserable. If its fair and 72 degrees and pleasant, I consider it at least.

I went outside today! We saw a really pretty giant moth and everything. And then every single old lady on the beach wearing so much perfume I could smell them from twenty paces with the wind against them had to stop to ask me what I was looking for amongst all the little pebbles -- clearly, the answer here is 'little pebbles I like', right? -- had to chat for twenty minutes, so we fled back home, and the peace and quiet of having my house to myself for a week is like heaven.

Hermit powers, go. I choose GrumpyCat to be my avatar.

@derp She could just love me to death, though! I mean, that would be really scary.

(I don't actually know her and don't think I've ever met her, so obviously no offense intended here, just wordplay on the name.)

Per my icon, I could just be a grumpy moon and wait for the deluge of

@killer-klown I still miss the Moon Moon memes all over my old Reno page, I really do.

Nobody gets Grumpy Cat.

Everyone's unhappy.

Good.

Because that's how you left her last night: Sad and unfulfilled.
