Naruto: The Hidden Curse - Talkie Lounge

[Bulbasaur4]

This is an OOC topic for those who are participating in the Naruto: The Hidden Curse RPG.

We can talk about character relations here or pretty much anything pertaining the RPG. Questions... comments.. posting fandom and stuffs!!

^_^ Should be fun!

Yukiso: O.o;;; *reads Spatial Relations and You*

Selekis: *sitting in a corner drawing**glares at anyone who gets near him*

I've only seen a few episodes of this (the dub intro is almost enough to put me off of it. I said ALMOST) so I don't have much knowledge of the plot arcs of the series.

Anyone got any ideas?

[Outlaw JT]

Wikipedia has all the info you'll need. I'd still watch the show some to get a feel for the characters and the environments, though.

[Bulbasaur4]

Yeah, Wikipedia is amazing. If you want to actually watch the episodes... then I suggest YouTube. Just type in "Naruto" and then the episode number you want to watch.

[Mystic_clown]

ok, thanks guys.

Selekis: *looks up at everyone, glares and go back to drawing*

[Heald]

I've watched enough to know whats going on. Unfortunately, I live in the UK where they seem to loop the Land of Waves/Zabuza arc over and over, so I'm having to watch it all on YouTube.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to get all insane clown on some ninja.

That's usually what happens when almost everyone who signs up is a guy unfortunately. There's still time, though. Maybe if Kalah allows it I'll create a second female original character.

[Prof. Jb Wolf]

Two questions:

1.) Just when exactly during the Naruto timeline does the RP take place?

and

2.) Is it purely coincidental that Naruto: Shippuden comes out the same week you premiere a Naruto RP?

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

*leaps on Shippuden* I'm downloading that one first episode with the (Spoiler:) ShikaTema sort-of not-really moment and back to the manga I merrily go ^^

Haha, I'm doing up a female character, no worries >< though she might end up being a LSU cos I want to post in all the other RPGs I'm currently in first, and also my thought processing has been slower than sewer slime lately... *forces self to return attention to Wordpad*

[Bulbasaur4]

*tackles Chiko*
YAAAY!!

True, there are a lot of guy sign-ups but I prefer that everyone only has one made-up character. If you want Outlaw, you could play a pre-existing female. ^_^ I like to try to keep in mind that there are girl NPCs... since Ino, Sakura, Hinata etc... are still existing. Plus gender won't be mattering... too much, hopefully.

I will probably start this RPG tonight or tomorrow, due to the fact that I am severly bored and want to. *whine whine*
But Chiko-sai and Chaos can LSU, since it will be easy to do that in this RPG.
^_^

As for your questions Prof... the timeline is the beginning of Naruto's first Arc. When they just graduate from the academy and are Genin. The first post or so will be the division of teams (which will be done by random drawing by moi) and then those teams will probably get a mission or two until I throw in a big event. Then the Chuunin exams will come... and then I get to throw in a slightly different story arc and such.

The RPG will follow many plots that Naruto has, but they might come in different orders and I might throw in some different plots as well. ^_^

... and it is a total coincidence... *scampers off*

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

NOOOOOOOOOOU WAIT FOR ME *flails* there's only Appearance left!

...and about 75% of my A Shadow Upon Heaven post, hah

I wanted to take Sakura as a pre-existing character at first, but decided I couldn't deal with the Sasuke-fangirling. Thankfully she stops the overt fangirling in Shippuden.

[Bulbasaur4]

Well, the nice thing is that you could start out with the Sasuke-fangirling... but in this RPG, you could change that over time. We're not going totally with Naruto's plots or character building, since with new characters being thrown in it is likely to assume that it would affect some things. ^_^

*shifty eyes*
*glomps Gaara*
*shifty eyes*

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

I HAVE DONE THE POST! *throws confetti* ...now back to the Appearance category of my sign-up. Should be done in 15 minutes ^^

*shiftier eyes* Well, y'see, I like KakaSaku..

*ahem* *hides behind rock*

So I thought I'd better not do any existing-character-RPing - although I might do Temari later on in the RPG when the Chuunin Exam arc begins proper; she's such a delightful uber-bitch.

[Bulbasaur4]

Uh huh, I agree whole-heartedly. ^_^

[Arnen]

I'd maybe do Tenten, but I haven't seen much of her since I can only watch Naruto on Toonami because YouTube loads hella slow on my compy Dx

So yeah... >.> *coughs and goes back to coloring her Haru drawing*

[Mystic_clown]

And it begins! Yay!

Already, the ideas are flowing out, including one involving Chiyoko.

Selekis: *looks up upon hearing the name. When nothing happens, goes back to his drawing.*

[Bulbasaur4]

I just want everyone to know that I absolutely am going to love the four Sensei's. They are just hilarious... *giggles insanely*

[Mystic_clown]

Judging by Selekis', the guys going to turn out ruthless and partially psychotic.

[Outlaw JT]

So what does everyone think of their teams/sensei so far? I know I can't wait to see how all the teammates interact with each other. I think some of the Genin/sensei pairings are pretty interesting, too.

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

My team reminds me of the original Team 8 o_O

Kuroda Miharu = Yuuhi Kurenai
Inuzuka Hige = Inuzuka Kiba
Kozue Haru = Hyuuga Hinata
Shodou Kukai = Aburame Shino (??? o_o okay maybe not really)

[Prof. Jb Wolf]

My team reminds me of the original Team 8 o_O

Kuroda Miharu = Yuuhi Kurenai
Inuzuka Hige = Inuzuka Kiba
Kozue Haru = Hyuuga Hinata
Shodou Kukai = Aburame Shino (??? o_o okay maybe not really)

I still think it works - your just angry scary as opposed to creepy scary! Of course, the team is lacking in the tracking and recon power that Team 8 does. Of course we make up for that with sheer versatility of the members of the team.

Anyone else catch the first episode of Shippuden? I just got the RAW for it and it's pretty good. Loved the little throwback to Team 7's first mission.

[Bulbasaur4]

I'm going to be posting today... and I am so looking forward to posting for the Sensei. ^_^ I also look forward to see how everyone interacts... and once this RPG gets moving and we get to the Chuunin exams, things will be very interesting.

Especially with the idea I have. ^_^

[Bulbasaur4]

So, the fun test begins. I appologize if the tests seem rather lame or their 'lesson' rather skewed...but I hope you guys get the drift a little bit. Was sorta hard thinking of four different tests with their different styles.

Well... all except for Takumi's and Kazuki's. lol.

[Arnen]

Ooh, neat.

Of course illusions had to be banned. Because Haru could just go, "And all of a sudden, plants began growing up through the barren earth" or something, and pow! Instant trees... xD;

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

@ Arnen/Nab: Got any ideas for our thinger that we have to pass?? I was thinking paper flowers, but I'm trying to think of more 'creative ways to screw up' ^^;; lol

[Arnen]

Hmm... that sounds like a good idea. I was thinking trying to transplant some might work, but that presents the problem of FINDING plants to transplant. xP;

[Bulbasaur4]

*hint* Properly channeled chakra can increase plant growth time... but if you put too much Chakra into the seed, the flower will explode.

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

Actually I think our team wouldn't really need a teamwork test, though it's really cool and different compared to what the other teams are doing, LOL xD the three of us are all level-headed and reasonable people... well sort of until you piss either Hige or Kukai off :x
@ Nab: WHEE LET'S CONTINUE SCREWING UP WITH OUR TEST :3

[Arnen]

Whoo! Failure! xD

[Heald]

JT and I agree - our team is awesome.

Also, Chiko-sai, your last post was pretty insane and very enjoyable to read - I expect nothing less of course , although re: the English/Japanese point you made, I'm sure that in Naruto (the Anime) at somepoint, when Naruto hasn't understood something, he yells 'And what's that in English!' or words to that effect (at least in the dub anyway).

[Dr.McNinja]

You all obviously don't appreciate what Ushi brings to a team. Insanity and utterly ignorant bliss! Flute playing at inappropriate moments go!

Plus his ability to bring his illusions into reality is quite useful....meaning his team will never be short a good 5-course meal. ^_^

[Bulbasaur4]

I do like the divisions of teams... and I'll be posting today a continuation of everything. (Those who haven't posted yet can still post what happens during the last "test" though... since I won't be commenting on what you guys do, as much as teh ending result. ^_^ I just am keeping things moving a bit.)

Also... I'm thinking of making a fandom flash, using our characters. (I hold the right to misdraw characters... 'cuz there are so many. >.<; I probably can't use everyone's right away, but I was thinking of showing blurbs of the teams and/or some individual blurbs. All to music!

I just bought a flash program yesturday and this is my first little flashy thing. It is really really short and crappy movement, but again... I just made it quickly last night. ^_^
FLASH

I look forward to doing one of exploding confettii...

[Heald]

Your flash is possibly one of the funniest things I've seen for a good long while. Plus it's pretty good for a first go (a lot better than I can do, since I am terrible at flash. Good at gifs, terrible at flash).

BTW B4, when you do post your continuation, remember that Inakamo still has his task to do, so remember to leave room for that.

EDIT: Forgot the real reason why I made this post.

[Arnen]

Heh... Gaara singing a boy band song... I don't even remember who sings that anymore, but it's damn funny.

And not to worry about misdrawing Haru-kun! As soon as I can be assed to scan it, I have an awesomely adorable chibi-Haru that I drew! :3

Edit: Said picture is now in the RPG art topic. *prod*

[Mystic_clown]

Hmm, an RPG flash. Interesting. I wouldn't mind if you misdraw Selekis.

Speaking of which, I was thinking of drawing him.

[Bulbasaur4]

Arnen, those pictures rock!! ^_^ I love the chibiness!!!

[Mystic_clown]

I second the opinion! Those pics are pretty good.

[Arnen]

Thanks ^.^;

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

@ Heald: Wow, thank you ^^ I was actually going through extreme lack of sleep while doing that post o_O I'd just got back from a full-day lunar new year visiting/mahjong bout and was indeed feeling insanely hyper...
I never watched the dub ^^;; well, not the English one, the dub in my country is... Malay and very, very sucky. "English" kind of does have a better ring to it than "Japanese" though.

@ Kalah: OMG. Gaara/Rock Lee FTW!!! That flash is genius. *anti-filthy-mind brick hits forehead at full velocity* *passes out*
I think it was the Backstreet Boys that sang that song... *tugtugpokepoke* D'you want me to help with drawing anyone?? x3333 I don't have the least clue how to do anything Flash, though.
This is what the top half of Kukai looks like, if it helps.

@ Nab: ...Haru is very cute. *glomps*

@ general populace: If I get overly hyper one of these days you guys might see random pictures of your characters popping up here... most likely profile shots or full-body sketches... I invoke the misdrawing clause along with Bulba-senpai!!
