Hey, what do you know, a song about a creepy doll. I recently heard it because its part of the current Humble Music Bundle, go check it out for cheap legal music yo: http://www.humblebundle.com/
Anyway, that reminds me of a creepy doll we saw recently. Especially the fact that the doll just kind of follows that guy around in the song. Originally, Moomba was going to just chill out around our characters, doing creepy things a bit like the Sheep might if we didn't kill it as soon as we say it. Just a way to inject horror into our everyday stuff, like maybe Eshe's bloodtaps running endlessly or something.
The Moomba idea of course grew out of the doll image at the bottom, but I had no idea what to do with my idea for a while. I was like, "Hey, wouldn't it be silly if someone RPed as that doll?" I also considered roping that blocky fellow you see next to the "Who's Online" thing somehow, but it would have been forced.
A lot of things about that Moomba plot shifted about. At first Celestia would be put in a doll that looked like her, but the body switch Captain Ginyu style seemed more interesting so that was scrapped. I also might have involved the Onion Knight doll in the plot if the tractors had not favored the bar enough in the conflict.
The Doll is around still as a remnant of that "Sticking around to cause horror" element, except Calabat and The Doll exist so I always have someone (something) in the bar to RP with in case the others are busy. Also, in case I have a cute or silly idea for something, or something that my other characters couldn't do just randomly.
Also, I originally had Phantomon randomly show up near the end because I thought he might have to transfer the soul of Celestia back into her, but I was just like "Eh, let's just have Moomba's death fix all it's evil magic."
Also, RP seems kinda slow now huh? At least the past few days felt that way. I have a few things I might do, but I have so many new vidja games I might not implement them. If you saw that post with Izzy, that's one of them. Olympic mascots are so weird these days. I actually considered including a different one, but he wasn't era appropriate and... He wasn't a ridiculous Whatzit!
So yeah, let's see how August goes. I guess it's the last month of RP so hopefully it's a good one!
