TALK TO VP-TAN

[fangirlitis]

[lifehacker]

Yo cocks, I fuckin' love anime.

It's gotta have magical girls and swords. GOTTA.

[notsuperman]

...Are we making a show for five year olds?

[lifehacker]

Fuck you, it's awesome and most fans are in their twenties.

[notsuperman]

So mentally five years old. Got it.

[lifehacker]

What's your great idea? You know that kinda shit, all the shounen fighty stuff, sells millions of dollars of merch.

[notsuperman]

I don't typically think about stuff like this. Doesn't mean I can't mock it, though.

[lifehacker]

Fair enough, but that won't win over the head otaku runnin' this game.

... no idea about the rest, though. The fuck is a DRAGON gonna be into? Treasure hoarding? Eating virgin girls?

[notsuperman]

...He once ran a game about stealing things from other people, like cloaks and jewels. So I guess hoarding treasure?

[lifehacker]

[ Crossing his arms over his chest, tilting his head upward in thought. ]

Uhhh... guess we can make the lead character a thief. A girl thief, who's all about the bling.

[notsuperman]

She'll have to have a noble reason for stealing, otherwise it'll be hard to sympathize with her.

[lifehacker]

Can't make it TOO Robin Hood, or it'll look like some modern-age ripoff. Maybe she's into paying off massive student loan debt.

[notsuperman]

[ Snorting at that. ]

A girl who turns to thieving as a way to pursue her dreams of higher education, despite her lack of money. Sounds interesting.

[lifehacker]

It's got that edge of "sticking it to the man," too.

She need a love interest? I never was into that stuff. Found it borin'.

[notsuperman]

Guy who thinks he's her love interest but she tells him off and is happy being single?

[lifehacker]

Perfect. That's feminism, baby.

[notsuperman]

Damn straight it is.

Do we have to have some "big evil" for her to defeat or anything? Or is that just the role of the student loans...

[lifehacker]

Maybe another thief who is just stealing to sit on a pile of money? Also, could be a metaphor - she might actually be a lesbian or somethin' and has to come out to her conservative parents.

[notsuperman]

Wait, is our heroine or the other thief the lesbian?

[lifehacker]

The other one, I guess.

[notsuperman]

You might want to be careful with that. Don't want to send the wrong message.

[lifehacker]

[ Obviously doesn't get it. ]

What message?

[notsuperman]

The whole "she's gay, therefore she must be evil, crazy, and depraved" thing. No need to perpetuate old ideas like that.

[lifehacker]

OHHHHH. Shit. Nevermind, scratch that.

[notsuperman]

Yeah, 's probably better that way.

[lifehacker]

What's the series climax gonna be? The other thief is a student in one of her classes, but the heroine goes on to get her Masters or somethin'?

[notsuperman]

Well, what's the heroine studying? That would affect what her endgame plan would be.

...Whatever it is, the two of them can be fighting over a spot in some grad program, and in the end the heroine gets it plus a nice hefty scholarship?

[lifehacker]

Slice of life stuff. Sounds good.

I dunno though, like, business maybe? I fucked around through school.

[notsuperman]

I don't think business people do grad school, I think they just get jobs afterward.

Then again, I don't know a whole lot about that field, since I think I was more science-oriented. So I could be wrong.

[lifehacker]

Uh, sure. How about organic chemistry.

[notsuperman]

Went right for the tough one, huh? I think an organic chemist would either get a Ph.D. or go work for a drug company.

[lifehacker]

Makes sense she'd need a Masters and a shit ton of cash.

[notsuperman]

Then we've got our endgame.
