[OOC - grab bag virus planning post/possessed Issei plotting.]

[unknownrival]

Well, we all knew I was going to do this sometime.

I'll copy what I said on my mod approval comment, just to save time.

"For the 'virus you thought you missed' virus, I was thinking of doing the 'what if' virus, and for that I was planning on setting up the situation to reuse a canon event: namely, Issei getting possessed by Caster.

Basically, what happens in canon is that whenever someone asks Issei too many questions about Caster, she takes over his body and tries to kill both the person asking and Issei. This doesn't happen now because Caster is dead and that spell's no longer in effect, but the 'what if' would be if Caster had survived. Someone on the community asks too many questions, and Issei gets possessed.

Possessed!Issei's modus operandi is to kill whoever asked the questions, then himself. This doesn't work so well over the internet, and I expect him to make an attempt at killing... uh, basically anyone he's told about Caster, which is almost everyone he knows, and then dispose of himself. He'll be neutralized before he does permanent harm to anyone, and probably be in the hospital until the virus is over.

...For reference: here is the video of where possessed!Issei appears in the game, and these few untranslated pages here are his appearance in the manga. (...I intend to have him stabbing people, as per the game, rather than flailing at people, as per the manga, because it looks less ridiculous, but how easy he is to knock out if you're super-strong is from the manga.)"

So, where you guys come in. I'd like volunteers for all of the following:

1. Someone to ask too many questions and trigger possessed!Issei. He'll probably want to come after you first, although I don't anticipate that someone as Obviously Evil as Caster-in-Issei's-body will be able to get a worldhop, so that may not happen.
2. Some other people for him to attack. As said above, this will probably require you to come to his world, although I'm sure some people will to save Issei from this horrible evil person that's talking about disposing of him once they're finished. Possessed!Issei is very fast, and either strong or accurate enough to kill someone with a knife to the stomach who's survived beatings on from a massive axe-sword.
3. Someone to finally neutralize him. Anyone here is probably capable of providing the superpowered bitchslap seen in the manga, as long as they don't mind getting stabbed first.

Thanks for your help, you guys! I've been looking forward to doing this forever. ...Which probably makes me a bad mun.

(Most of my responses will be after I get back from school, I just wanted to get this up. Back.)

Getting him involved should be simple enough.

Possessed!Issei: Hi, I'm evil and I've taken over this body.
Suguru: NOOOO I WON'T LET YOU HURT MY FRIENDS I'LL DEFEAT YOU EVIL THING
Possessed!Issei: Uh, sure. I'm going to go stab someone else now, bye.

Still me. BTW these two have the same voice actor.

[willhavewings.livejournal.com]

Pretty much! That'd work pretty well.

Although it could be fun to have something like Suguru goes to try and help, just stands there and gets stabbed because he can't stand to bitch slap even evil Issei. And then goes home and cries due to epic failure.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

...heh. That'd be fun too, and I think I want to go that route.

[willhavewings.livejournal.com]

Oooh, thanks for being so accommodating. I know he's only spoken to Suguru like, twice, so I'm seriously grateful.

and besides Issei is hot and I feel bad stalking his threads without a good reason.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Suguru made an impression on him. And possessed!Issei's not discriminatory.

...Issei's hot? I've heard cute before, but... And don't worry, I'm fine with my threads being stalked.

Still me, juggling!

[nevergiveitback.livejournal.com]

Works for me!

He steams up my glasses man. I just want to chew his neck.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

...That's very interesting. I don't think I've ever had that reaction to him.

[last5secondswin.livejournal.com]

...I'm seriously the only guy you've met who thinks Issei is hot?

...Now I feel like a massive perv for some reason.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Don't get me wrong, I think he's the cutest thing on the planet and I kinda want to ravish him. But I definitely lean more toward 'cute' than 'hot'.

[willhavewings.livejournal.com]

Really? Well, I would say he's just slightly more hot than cute. Something about his neck and collar bones. And the way he wears those glasses. UNF.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Huh. I can kind of agree with you on those points.

[nevergiveitback.livejournal.com]

...I think about what makes people hot way too much.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I think too much about people's cuteness, so it all evens out.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

holyshit that is a creepy icon.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I think manga!possessed!Issei is kind of ridiculous with his flailing around, but that was a genuinely creepy panel that made me go 'oshit'.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

That is creepy as all hell - THIS IS NOT THE ISSEI I EXPECTED WHUT.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I was spoiled for that ending in the game before I actually got it, but I'm told it's the bad ending that surprised/freaked the heck out of people the most. I can't blame them.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

It's the person you least expect! And then-- poor Issei ;3;

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. When even the Tiger Dojo gives you a memorial...

I really am too cruel to him sometimes.
